Provided herein is an optically active pyrazolylaminoquinazoline, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Also provided herein is a method for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a JAK-mediated condition, disorder, or disease. Further provided herein is a method for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a proliferative disease, inflammatory disease, or renal disease.
The JAK kinase family is a cytoplasmic protein kinase family comprising the members JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2. Growth factor or cytokine receptors that recruit JAK kinases include the interferon receptors, interleukin receptors (receptors for the cytokines IL-2 to IL-7, IL-9 to IL-13, IL-15, IL-23), various hormone receptors (erythropoietin (Epo) receptor, the thrombopoietin (Tpo) receptor, the leptin receptor, the insulin receptor, the prolactin (PRL) receptor, the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor, the growth hormone receptor, receptor protein tyrosine kinases (such as EGFR and PDGFR), and receptors for other growth factors (leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), oncostatin M (OSM), IFNα/β/γ, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1)). See, Rane and Reddy, Oncogene 2000, 19, 5662-5679.
Phosphorylated receptors serve as docking sites for other SH-2 domain containing signaling molecules that interact with JAKs, such as the STAT family of transcription factors, Src family of kinases, MAP kinases, PI3 kinase, and protein tyrosine phosphatases (Rane and Reddy, Oncogene 2000, 19, 5662-5679). The family of latent cytoplasmic transcription factors, STATs, is the most well characterized downstream substrates for JAKs. The STAT proteins bind to phosphorylated cytokine receptors through their SH2 domains to become phosphorylated by JAKs, which leads to their dimerization, release, and eventual translocation to the nucleus where they activate gene transcription. The various members of STAT which have been identified thus far are STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5 (including STAT5a and STAT5b), and STAT6.
Since the JAK kinases may play an important signaling role via such receptors, disorders of fat metabolism, growth disorders and disorders of the immune system are all potential therapeutic targets.
The JAK kinases and JAK2 mutations are implicated in myeloproliferative disorders, cancers, including blood borne and solid tumors. Exemplary disorders include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Myeloproliferative disorders are believed to arise from either gain-of-function mutations to JAK itself or from activation by the oncoprotein BCR-ABL, which specifically activates the JAK2 pathway. Several literature reports describe role of JAK2 mutations in various disorders. See, Samanta et al., Cancer Res. 2006, 66, 6468-6472; Sawyers et al., Cell 1992, 70, 901-910; Tefferi, N. Eng. J.

Cell. 2000 6, 693-704; and Zhao et al., EMBO 2002, 21, 2159-2167.
Literature indicates that JAK may also serve as a target for prostate cancer, including androgen-resistant prostate cancer. See, Barton et al., Mol. Canc. Ther. 2004, 3, 11-20, Blume-Jensen et al., Nature 2001, 411, 355-356; Bromberg, J. Clin. Invest. 2002, 109, 1139-1142; and Rane, Oncogene 2000, 19, 5662-5679. JAK as a prominent mediator of the cytokine signaling pathway is considered to be a therapeutic target for inflammation and transplant rejections. See, Borie et al., Transplantation 2005, 79, 791-801; and Milici et al., Arthritis Research 2008, 10, 1-9.
Given the multitude of diseases attributed to the dysregulation of JAK signaling, many small molecule inhibitors of JAK are currently being developed. Examples of compounds in preclinical development include TG101209 (TargeGen), and examples of compounds being investigated in clinical studies include INCB018424 (Incyte), XL019 (Exelixis), and TG101348 (TargeGen). See, Pardanani et al., Leukemia 2007, 21, 1658-1668; and Pardanai, Leukemia 2008, 22, 23-20.

The term “naturally occurring” or “native” when used in connection with biological materials such as nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, host cells, and the like, refers to materials which are found in nature and are not manipulated by man. Similarly, “non-naturally occurring” or “non-native” refers to a material that is not found in nature or that has been structurally modified or synthesized by man.
The term “JAK” or “Just Another Kinase” refers to a Janus kinase or a variant thereof, including, but not limited to, Janus kinase 1 (JAK1), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), Janus kinase 3 (JAK3), and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). JAK variants include proteins substantially homologous to a native JAK, i.e., proteins having one or more naturally or non-naturally occurring amino acid deletions, insertions or substitutions (e.g., JAK derivatives, homologs and fragments), as compared to the amino acid sequence of a native JAK. The amino acid sequence of a JAK variant is at least about 80% identical, at least about 90% identical, or at least about 95% identical to a native JAK.
The terms “JAK-mediated condition, disorder or disease” and “a condition, disorder, or disease mediated by JAK” refer to a condition, disorder, or disease characterized by abnormal or dysregulated, e.g., greater than normal, JAK activity. Abnormal JAK functional activity might arise as the result of JAK overexpression in cells, expression of JAK in cells which normally do not express JAK, or dysregulation due to constitutive activation, caused, for example, by a mutation in JAK. A JAK-mediated condition, disorder, or disease may be completely or partially mediated by inappropriate JAK activity. In particular, a JAK-mediated condition, disorder, or disease is one in which modulation of a JAK activity results in some effect on the underlying condition, disorder, or disease, e.g., a JAK inhibitor results in some improvement in at least some of patients being treated.
The term “adenosine A3 receptor” or “A3AR” refers to a native adenosine A3 receptor or a variant thereof. A3AR variants include proteins substantially homologous to a native A3AR, i.e., proteins having one or more naturally or non-naturally occurring amino acid deletions, insertions or substitutions (e.g., A3AR derivatives, homologs and fragments), as compared to the amino acid sequence of a native A3AR. The amino acid sequence of a A3AR variant is at least about 80% identical, at least about 90% identical, or at least about 95% identical to a native A3AR.
The terms “an adenosine A3-mediated condition, disorder or disease” and “a condition, disorder, or disease mediated by A3AR” refer to a condition, disorder, or disease characterized by abnormal or dysregulated, e.g., greater than normal, A3AR activity. Abnormal A3AR functional activity might arise as the result of A3AR overexpression in cells, expression of A3AR in cells which normally do not express A3AR, or dysregulation due to constitutively activation, caused, for example, by a mutation in A3AR. An A3AR-mediated condition, disorder, or disease may be completely or partially mediated by inappropriate A3AR activity. In particular, an A3AR-mediated condition, disorder, or disease is one in which modulation of A3AR activity results in some effect on the underlying condition, disorder, or disease, e.g., an A3AR antagonist results in some improvement in at least some of patients being treated.
The terms “optically active” and “enantiomerically active” refer to a collection of molecules, which has an enantiomeric excess of no less than about 10%, no less than about 20%, no less than about 30%, no less than about 40%, no less than about 50%, no less than about 60%, no less than about 70%, no less than about 80%, no less than about 90%, no less than about 91%, no less than about 92%, no less than about 93%, no less than about 94%, no less than about 95%, no less than about 96%, no less than about 97%, no less than about 98%, no less than about 99%, no less than about 99.5%, no less than about 99.8%, or no less than about 99.9%.

In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes R and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The (+) and (−) are used to denote the optical rotation of the compound, that is, the direction in which a plane of polarized light is rotated by the optically active compound. The (−) prefix indicates that the compound is levorotatory, that is, the compound rotates the plane of polarized light to the left or counterclockwise. The (+) prefix indicates that the compound is dextrorotatory, that is, the compound rotates the plane of polarized light to the right or clockwise. However, the sign of optical rotation, (+) and (−), is not related to the absolute configuration of the molecule, R and S.
The terms “optically pure” and “enantiomerically pure” refer to a collection of molecules, which has an enantiomeric excess (ee) of no less than about 80%, no less than about 90%, no less than about 91%, no less than about 92%, no less than about 93%, no less than about 94%, no less than about 95%, no less than about 96%, no less than about 97%, no less than about 98%, no less than about 99%, no less than about 99.5%, no less than about 99.8%, or no less than about 99.9%. In certain embodiments, the enantiomeric excess for an optically or enantiomerically pure compound is no less than about 90%, no less than about 95%, no less than about 98%, or no less than about 99%. An enantiomeric excess of a compound can be determined by any standard methods used by one of ordinary skill in the art, including, but not limited to, chiroptical chromatography (gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and thin-layer chromatography) using an optically active stationary phase, isotopic dilution, electrophoresis, calorimetry, polarimetry, NMR resolution methods with chiral derivatization, and NMR methods with a chiral solvating agent or chiral shift reagent.

In still another embodiment, provided herein is a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug of optically active (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol. A prodrug is a functional derivative of a parent compound, e.g., the compound of Formula I, and is readily convertible into the parent compound in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent compound. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent compound is not. The prodrug may also have enhanced solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent compound. A prodrug may be converted into the parent drug by various mechanisms, including enzymatic processes and metabolic hydrolysis.

In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form is formulated using an erodible matrix device, which is water-swellable, erodible, or soluble polymers, including, but not limited to, synthetic polymers, and naturally occurring polymers and derivatives, such as polysaccharides and proteins.
Materials useful in forming an erodible matrix include, but are not limited to, chitin, chitosan, dextran, and pullulan; gum agar, gum arabic, gum karaya, locust bean gum, gum tragacanth, carrageenans, gum ghatti, guar gum, xanthan gum, and scleroglucan; starches, such as dextrin and maltodextrin; hydrophilic colloids, such as pectin; phosphatides, such as lecithin; alginates; propylene glycol alginate; gelatin; collagen; cellulosics, such as ethyl cellulose (EC), methylethyl cellulose (MEC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), CMEC, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), cellulose butyrate (CB), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CAP, CAT, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), HPMCP, HPMCAS, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate trimellitate (HPMCAT), and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC); polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl acetate; glycerol fatty acid esters; polyacrylamide; polyacrylic acid; copolymers of ethacrylic acid or methacrylic acid (EUDRAGIT®, Rohm America, Inc., Piscataway, N.J.); poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate); polylactides; copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ethyl-L-glutamate; degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers; poly-D-(−)-3-hydroxybutyric acid; and other acrylic acid derivatives, such as homopolymers and copolymers of butylmethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, ethylacrylate, (2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate, and (trimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate chloride.
In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated with a non-erodible matrix device.

Materials suitable for use as a non-erodible matrix device include, but are not limited to, insoluble plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl chloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubbers, epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsiloxanes, and silicone carbonate copolymers; hydrophilic polymers, such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, crospovidone, and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate; and fatty compounds, such as carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, and triglycerides.
In a matrix controlled release system, the desired release kinetics can be controlled, for example, via the polymer type employed, the polymer viscosity, the particle sizes of the polymer and/or the active ingredient(s), the ratio of the active ingredient(s) versus the polymer, and other excipients or carriers in the compositions.
The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, and melt-granulation followed by compression.
2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices
The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including, but not limited to, one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) a core which contains an active ingredient; and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s).
In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents is water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as “osmopolymers” and “hydrogels.” Suitable water-swellable hydrophilic polymers as osmotic agents include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.
The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol; organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.
Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MANNOGEM™ EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, Del.) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.
The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.
Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking. Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly-(methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,119. Such hydrophobic but water-vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post-coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,612,059 and 5,698,220.
The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.
The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.
The osmotic controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art. See, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Santus and Baker, J. Controlled Release 1995, 35, 1-21; Verma et al., Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2000, 26, 695-708; and Verma et al., J. Controlled Release 2002, 79, 7-27.

In certain embodiments, the cancer that is treatable with the methods provided herein includes, but is not limited to, bladder cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer), endometrial cancer, gastric cancer, glioma (e.g., glioblastoma), head and neck cancer, liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer.
In certain embodiments, the cancer is head and neck cancer. In certain embodiments, the cancer is lung cancer. In certain embodiments, the cancer is lung adenocarcinoma. In certain embodiments, the cancer is esophogeal or upper GI cancer.
In certain embodiments, the subject to be treated with one of the methods provided herein has not been treated with anticancer therapy. In certain embodiments, the subject to be treated with one of the methods provided herein has been treated with anticancer therapy.
The methods provided herein encompass treating a subject regardless of patient's age, although some diseases or disorders are more common in certain age groups. Further provided herein is a method for treating a subject who has undergone surgery in an attempt to treat the disease or condition at issue, as well as the one who have not. Because the subjects with cancer have heterogeneous clinical manifestations and varying clinical outcomes, the treatment given to a particular subject may vary, depending on his/her prognosis.
In certain embodiments, in each method provided herein, the compound of Formula I is combined or used in combination with a second therapeutic agent. As used herein, the term “in combination” includes the use of more than one therapy (e.g., one or more prophylactic and/or therapeutic agents). However, the use of the term “in combination” does not restrict the order in which therapies (e.g., prophylactic and/or therapeutic agents) are administered to a subject with a condition, disorder, or disease. A first therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent such as a compound provided herein) can be administered prior to (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks before), concomitantly with, or subsequent to (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, or 12 weeks after) the administration of a second therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent) to the subject. Triple therapy is also contemplated herein.
As used herein, the term “synergistic” includes a combination of the compound of Formula I provided herein and another therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent) which has been or is currently being used to prevent, treat, or manage a condition, disorder, or disease, which is more effective than the additive effects of the therapies. A synergistic effect of a combination of therapies (e.g., a combination of prophylactic or therapeutic agents) permits the use of lower dosages of one or more of the therapies and/or less frequent administration of said therapies to a subject with a condition, disorder, or disease. The ability to utilize lower dosages of a therapy (e.g., a prophylactic or therapeutic agent) and/or to administer said therapy less frequently reduces the toxicity associated with the administration of said therapy to a subject without reducing the efficacy of said therapy in the prevention, treatment, or management of a condition, disorder, or disease). In addition, a synergistic effect can result in improved efficacy of agents in the prevention, treatment, or management of a condition, disorder, or disease. Finally, a synergistic effect of a combination of therapies (e.g., a combination of prophylactic or therapeutic agents) may avoid or reduce adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the use of either therapy alone.
The compound of Formula I provided herein can be administered in combination or alternation with another therapeutic agent. In combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more agents are administered together, whereas in alternation or sequential-step therapy, an effective dosage of each agent is administered serially or sequentially. The dosages given will depend on absorption, inactivation, and excretion rates of the drug as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. It is to be noted that dosage values will also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens and schedules should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.

To a solution of ethyl 4-chloroquinazoline-2-carboxylate 11 (0.6 g, 2.53 mmol) in THF (6 mL) at −40° C. was added dropwise a solution of 4-fluorophenylmagnesium bromide in THF (1 M, 3 mL, 3.0 mmol, 1.2 eq). The reaction mixture was stirred at −40° C. for 4 hrs. The reaction was quenched by addition of 0.5 N HCl (5 mL) and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with EtOAc/hexanes to afford compound 12 as a light yellow solid (440 mg, 60%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.45-7.40 (m, 2H), 8.07-8.03 (m, 1H), 8.17-8.13 (m, 2H), 8.23 (m, 2H), 8.42 (d, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 287 (M+H)+.
Step B.

To a solution of compound 12 (84 mg, 0.30 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) at room temperature were added DIPEA (0.103 mL, 0.6 mmol) and 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (88 mg, 0.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 40° C. overnight. Water was added, and the yellow precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water. The solid was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with DCM/MeOH to give compound 1 (30 mg, 29%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.19 (s, 3H), 6.54 (s, 1H), 7.40 (m, 2H), 7.68 (t, 1H), 7.9-7.7 (m, 2H), 8.08 (m, 2H), 8.74 (d, 1H), 10.66 (s, 1H), 12.20 (s, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 348 (M+H)+.
Step C.
Preparation of (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol (I). A stirred mixture of compound 1 (418 mg, 1.2 mmol) and (R)—P-Phos RuCl2(R)-DAIPEN (5.4 mg, 0.0048 mmol) at room temperature was subjected to five cycles pressurizing with nitrogen to 40 psi and then depressurizing. Then KOtBu/tBuOH (1 M, 14.4 μL, 0.0144 mmol) in 9:1 i-PrOH/H2O (4 mL) was added and the mixture was subjected to five cycles of pressurizing with nitrogen to 40 psi and then depressurizing. The stirred mixture was then subjected to ten cycles of pressurizing with hydrogen to 435 psi and then depressurizing. The mixture was then stirred at 900 rpm under hydrogen (435 psi) at 50° C. for 18 hrs. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and vented carefully. MeOH (8 mL) was added, and a sample (0.2 mL) was analyzed by chiral HPLC and LCMS (Phenomenex Luna C18) eluted with a gradient of CH3CN in 0.1% aq. HOAc. The above procedure was carried out in analogous fashion in an additional 12 runs. Samples of the required specification (>98%, >95% enantiomeric excess) were combined and filtered through celite, washing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness and further dried under high vacuum overnight to afford compound I as an off-white solid (4.48 g, 12.8 mmol). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.13 (br s, 1H), 10.38 (br s, 1H), 8.59 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.70-7.98 (m, 2H), 7.45-7.64 (m, 3H), 7.06-7.24 (m, 2H), 6.45 (s, 1H), 5.80 (s, 1H), 5.67 (s, 1H), 2.26 (s, 3H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 350 (M+H)+. Analysis by chiral HPLC showed a 96.7% enantiomeric excess of the earlier eluting enantiomer.
Optical activity of the compound of Formula I was determined using a sample prepared using this procedure in a large scale, following Method 781 in USP XXXI (2003) using a Perkin Elmer 241 polarimeter. The sample was found to have a specific optical rotation ([α]D22) of about +4.976 (c=6.029 mg/mL, methanol).
To a suspension of (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol (4.33 g) in 1:1 CH3CN/H2O (100 mL) was added 1N HCl (15.5 mL, 15.5 mmol). The solution was frozen and lyophilized to afford 4.9 g of (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol hydrochloride as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 14.61 (br s., 1H), 12.16 (br s., 1H), 8.84 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 8.24 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 8.02-8.13 (m, 1H), 7.73-7.88 (m, 1H), 7.55-7.70 (m, 2H), 7.18-7.36 (m, 2H), 6.21 (s, 1H), 6.02 (s, 1H), 3.93 (br s, 2H, obscured by H2O peak), 2.26 (s, 3H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 350 (M+H)+. Analysis by chiral HPLC showed that the HCl salt had an enantiomeric excess of about 100%.
A stirred mixture of (4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-4H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanone (16.66 g, 48 mmol) and [(R)—P-Phos RuCl2(R)-DAIPEN] (217 mg, 0.192 mmol) at room temperature was subjected to five cycles of pressurizing with nitrogen to 40 psi followed by depressurization. Then 1M KOtBu/tBuOH (576 μL, 0.0.576 mmol) in 9:1 i-PrOH/H2O (4 mL) was added and the mixture was subjected to five cycles of pressurizing with nitrogen to 40 psi followed by depressurization. The stirred mixture was then subjected to ten cycles of pressurizing with hydrogen to 435 psi followed by depressurization. The mixture was then stirred at 900 rpm under hydrogen (435 psi) at 40° C. for 18 hrs. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and then carefully vented. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cold MeOH (100 mL) to afford (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol as a white solid (13.8 g). Chiral HPLC indicated a >99% enantiomeric excess of the earlier eluting enantiomer.
A repeat run of the above procedure on a 96 mmol scale afforded 30.5 g of (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol as a white solid, for which chiral HPLC indicated a >99% enantiomeric excess of the earlier eluting enantiomer.
(R)-(4-Fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol was synthesized according to the procedure as described for (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol, except using [(S)—P-Phos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] in place of [(R)—P-Phos RuCl2(R)-DAIPEN] during ketone reduction. Optical activity of (R)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol was determined, following Method 781 in USP XXXI (2003), using a Perkin Elmer 241 polarimeter. The (R)-isomer was found to have a specific optical rotation ([α]D22) of about −4.688 (c=6.079 mg/mL, methanol).
To (R)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol (100 mg, 0.29 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) was added a solution of R-(−)-camphorsulfonic acid (67 mg, 0.29 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL). The homogeneous solution was diluted with EtOAc (ca. 50 mL) and concentrated to a viscous residue. To the residue in EtOAc (ca. 5 mL) was added diethyl ether until the solution was cloudy, and the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature with occasional scraping and agitation. After 24 hrs, a yellow solid had formed. The mixture was cooled on ice and the solid was collected by filtration, washing with cold diethyl ether, to afford (R)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol R-(−)-camphorsulfonic acid salt as a yellow solid (133 mg, 80%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 14.35 (br s, 1H), 12.59 (br s, 1H), 12.08 (br s, 1H), 8.78 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.99-8.13 (m, 1H), 7.79 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.51-7.68 (m, 2H), 7.18-7.35 (m, 2H), 6.17 (s, 1H), 5.99 (s, 1H), 2.86 (d, J=14.7 Hz, 1H), 2.60-2.77 (m, 1H), 2.36 (d, J=14.7 Hz, 1H), 2.17-2.29 (m, 1H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 1.89-1.96 (m, 1H), 1.78-1.89 (m, 2H), 1.76 (s, 1H), 1.22-1.32 (m, 2H), 1.05 (s, 3H), 0.74 (s, 3H).
The resulting salt was analyzed by single crystal X-ray and the absolute configuration of (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol was determined to be R (
Chiral reduction of (4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-4H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanone was carried out in the presence of [(S)—P-Phos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN], according to Example 5. The solid product (4.58 g, 13 mmol) was dissolved in 1:1 CH3CN/H2O (100 mL) and treated with 1N HCl (16 mL, 16 mmol). The solution was frozen and lyophilized to afford a solid hydrochloride salt. Chiral HPLC analysis of the hydrochloride salt (RegisCell column eluted with 85:15 hexane/isopropanol) indicated a 2:98 ratio of earlier eluting enantiomer to the later eluting enantiomer. A sample of the hydrochloride salt was crystallized from a mixture of isopropanol, ethanol, and aq. HCl to afford yellow crystals. X-ray crystallographic analysis of a yellow crystal showed the structure of protonated (R)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol. Chiral HPLC analysis of a separate sample of yellow crystals (RegisCell column eluted with 85:15 hexane/1-propanol) indicated a 4:96 ratio of earlier eluting enantiomer to the later eluting enantiomer. The preponderance of evidence supports the conclusion that the later eluting isomer has (R) absolute configuration.
Competition binding assays used herein were developed, validated, and performed as described in Fabian et al., Nature Biotechnology 2005, 23, 329-336. Kinases were produced as fusions to T7 phage (See, Fabian et al. or WO04/015142) or alternatively, the kinases were expressed in HEK-293 cells and subsequently tagged with DNA for PCR detection (See, WO08/005,310). For the binding assays, streptavidin-coated magnetic beads were treated with biotinylated affinity ligands for 30 min at room temperature to generate affinity resins. The liganded beads were blocked with excess biotin and washed with blocking buffer (SeaBlock (Pierce), 1% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) to remove unbound ligand and to reduce non-specific binding. Binding reactions were assembled by combining kinase, liganded affinity beads, and test compounds in 1× binding buffer (20% SeaBlock, 0.17×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 6 mM DTT). Test compounds were prepared as 100× stocks in DMSO and rapidly diluted into the aqueous environment. DMSO was added to control assays lacking a test compound. Primary screen interactions were performed in polypropylene 384-well plates in a final volume of 34 μL, while Kd determinations were performed in polystyrene 96-well plates in a final volume of 135 μL. The assay plates were incubated at room temperature with shaking for 1 hr, long enough for binding reactions to reach equilibrium, and the affinity beads were washed extensively with wash buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20) to remove unbound protein. The beads were then resuspended in elution buffer (1×PBS, 0.05% Tween 20, 2 μM non-biotinylated affinity ligand) and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 30 min. The kinase concentration in the eluates was measured by quantitative PCR. Each kinase was tested individually against each compound. Kds were determined using eleven serial threefold dilutions. A selectivity score, which is a quantitative measure of selectivity of a compound against a panel of enzymes, may be calculated for a compound by dividing the number of enzymes for which a compound meets a set criteria, (for example, a binding constant of 100 nM or less), by the total number of enzymes tested. A kinase selectivity score, S10, for example, is calculated for each compound by dividing the number of kinases for which a compound at a certain concentration (for example, 10 μM) displayed inhibition of 90% or greater compared to negative control lacking inhibitors (DMSO only), divided by the number of distinct kinases tested excluding mutant variants, typically 359 or 386 kinases.
The Kd values for racemic (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol and its (R)- and (S)-enantiomers are summarized in Table 1.
csTF-1 cells were derived from the human erythroleukemia cell line that was growth dependent on GM-CSF and had an intact GM-CSFR/JAK2/STAT5 pathway. The cell line contained stably integrated beta-lactamase reporter gene under the control of the regulatory factor 1 (irf 1) response element recognized by the activated transcription factor STAT5. csTF-1 cells (Invitrogen K1219) were washed with assay media (97% OPTIMEM/0.5% dialyzed FBS/0.1 mM non-essential amino acids/1 mM Na pyruvate/penicillin/streptomycin) and seeded in the same media at 5×105 cell/mL in T150 flask. After 16 hr incubation, cells were seeded at 2×105 cell/well in 50 μL volume, into Costar, clear bottom, 96-well assay plates. Serial dilutions of compounds were added to the plates with final DMSO concentration at 0.5% and GM-CSF at 2 ng/mL and the plates were then incubated at 30° C. and 5% CO2 for 4 hrs. The plates were brought to room temperature before adding Substrate Mixture according to manufacturer's protocol (Invitrogen, Catalog #K1085). The assay plates containing the substrate mixture were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 2 hrs. Blue and green fluorescence were measured with excitation at 409 nm and emission at 460 nm (for blue) and excitation at 409 nm and emission at 530 nm (for green) using Spectra Max Gemini EM. In this cell line, the racemate inhibited GM-CSF stimulated reporter activity with an EC50 of 70 nM. The individual enantiomers inhibited GM-CSF stimulated reporter activity with an EC50 of 38 and 75 nM for the (S)(+) and (R)(−), respectively.
To compare the cellular activity of a compound against each JAK family member, Ba/F3 cell lines were generated that exogenously express each of the four JAK proteins in a constitutively activated state. This is achieved by fusing the dimerization domain of the protein TEL with the kinase domain of the individual JAK proteins. When expressed, these fusion proteins dimerize, causing cross-activation of their associated kinase domains, which leads to phosphorylation of STAT5, among other STAT proteins, depending on the particular kinase. Each cell line was generated by retroviral transduction of the recombinant fusion protein gene and subsequent single cell cloning of each resulting cell line.
To determine cellular anti-JAK activity of a compound, inhibition of the constitutive STAT5 phosphorylation was determined in each cell line. Cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 (Thermo Scientific)+10% FBS with 0.5 μg/mL puromycin (Clontech) to maintain expression of the fusion protein gene. For the assay, cells were washed and resuspended in media+0.5% FBS (without puromycin), and plated at 1E5 cells/well in U-bottom 96-well plates (BD Biosciences). Serially diluted compound was added to the cells and incubated for 2 hrs at 37° C. Cells were then washed with cold PBS and lysed for 15 min with 50 μL/well of ice cold lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technology), containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Roche Applied Science). Evaluation of phosphorylated STAT5 levels in the lysates was determined using phospho-STAT5a,b kits (Meso Scale Discovery (MSD)) according to manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, plates were blocked for 1 hr with 3% Blocker A in MSD wash buffer (TBS+0.02% Tween 20), and washed on a BioTek ELx405 plate washer. Cell lysates were added at 25 μL/well and incubated for 2 hrs at room temperature. Plates were washed and detection solution containing SULFO-TAG anti-total STAT5a,b antibody was added at 25 μL/well. After an 1 hr incubation, plates were washed and 150 μL/well of MSD read buffer was added before reading plates on a Sector Imager 6000 instrument (MSD).
Adenosine A3 receptor, also known as A3AR or ADORA3, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). Racemic (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol was tested in an adenosine A3 receptor GTPγS binding assay in antagonist format, according to the procedure described in Jacobson et al., Neuropharmacology 1997, 36, 1157-1165, in human CHO-K1 cell line expressing the human adenosine A3 receptor. The final DMSO concentration in the assay was about 0.4%. Incubations of 1 μM, 0.1 μM, and 10 nM of the compound were carried out in duplicates at 30° C. for 30 min in an incubation buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, and 1 mM EDTA). The assay was quantitated by measuring the amount of [35S]GTPγS bound relative to 2-Cl-IB-MECA response. The IC50 of racemic (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol against adenosine A3 was determined to be 62.9 nM.
(R)- and (S)-(4-Fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol was tested in a radioligand binding assay, according to the procedure described in Olah et al., Mol. Pharmacol. 1994, 45, 978-982 and Salvatore et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1993, 90, 10365-10369, in human recombinant CHO-K1 cells expressing the human adenosine A3 receptor. Incubations of a range of concentration of each compound were carried out in duplicates for 1 h at 25° C. in 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.1% BSA, in the presence of 0.5 nM [125I] AB-MECA. Non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 1 μM IB-MECA. Ki values were calculated using the equation of Cheng and Prussof (Cheng et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 1973, 22, 3099-3108) using the observed IC50 of the compound, the concentration of the radioligand used in the assay and the historical Kd of the radioligand. The results are summarized in Table 2.
To determine the antagonist activity of a compound on the adenosine A3 receptor, two assays were employed by DiscoveRx. The PathHunter β-Arrestin assay monitors the activation of a recombinantly tagged GPCR utilizing enzyme fragment complementation with β-galactosidase (β-Gal) as the functional reporter. For the β-Arrestin assay, a human ADORA3-expressing PathHunter cell line was grown according to standard procedures and maintained in selective growth media prior to assay. Cells were seeded in 384-well microplates at a density of 5000 cells per well in a total volume of 20 μL and were allowed to adhere and recover overnight prior to compound addition. 2-Cl-IB-MECA agonist dose curves were performed the morning of profiling to determine the EC80 value that was used for the following antagonist compound testing. For antagonist determination, cells were preincubated with either (R)- or (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol antagonist or the racemic antagonist (5 μL of 5× compound added to cells for 30 min at 37° C.) followed by 2-Cl-IB-MECA agonist challenge at the EC50 concentration (5 μL of 6×EC50 agonist incubated at 37° C. for 90 min).

Male cynomolgus monkeys were dosed orally with (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol. Plasma was collected over a 24 hour time-course for determination of pharmacokinetic parameters.
Three male cynomolgus monkeys were fasted overnight and through four hours postdose. Two 100 μL aliquots of an oral formulation were taken predose. Three monkeys were given a single gavage dose of a test compound at 10 mg/kg formulated in Pharmatek#6, followed by an approximately 10.0 mL tap water flush of the gavage tube. Blood samples (approximately 1.0 mL) were collected at specified time points (15, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hrs) into tubes containing K3EDTA.

Each enantiomer's peak area was integrated separately to quantify the R- and S-enantiomer levels.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were then calculated from the normalized LC-MS/MS peak areas using the noncompartmental model and linear trapezoidal estimation method using the WinNonlin software (v5.2, Pharsight Corporation, Mountain View, Calif.).
After oral administration of the S-isomer, both enantiomers were present in plasma in almost equal proportions, and the R/S ratio was about 0.8. Notably, the R-isomer was present as an impurity (about 2%) in the S-isomer formulation, but this impurity level is unlikely to account for this observation.

Each enantiomer's peak area was integrated separately to quantify the R- and S-enantiomer levels, while both peaks were integrated together as a single integral to quantify the level of the racemic compound.
Pharmacokinetic parameters were then calculated from the normalized LC-MS/MS peak areas using the noncompartmental model and linear trapezoidal estimation method using the WinNonlin software (v5.2, Pharsight Corporation, Mountain View, Calif.).

Male cynomolgus monkeys were dosed orally or intravenously in a single crossover design with (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol, or its R- or S-enantiomer. Plasma was collected over a 24 hour time-course for determination of pharmacokinetic parameters.
Three male cynomolgus monkeys were fasted overnight and through four hours postdose. Two 100 μL aliquots of each dosing formulation were taken predose. Three monkeys were given a single gavage dose of a test compound at 10 mg/kg, followed by an approximately 10.0 mL tap water flush of the gavage tube. After a 1 week washout period, two of the three monkeys received a single IV bolus dose of a test compound at 1 mg/kg in a peripheral vein followed by approximate 1.0 mL saline flush. Blood samples (approximately 1.0 mL) were collected at specified time points (5 min (IV only), 15, 30 min, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 24 hrs) into tubes containing K3EDTA. The samples collected were placed on wet ice/ice block and processed for plasma within 15 min. For each sample, plasma was separated and stored frozen at approximately −20° C. until shipped on dry ice for analysis.
Chiral analysis was used to determine the levels of each individual enantiomers in plasma after dosing with the racemic compound, the R-isomer, or the S-isomer. The results are summarized in Table 6. After administration of the racemic compound, the R-isomer was the predominant species for both oral and intravenous routes. The R-isomer accounted for over 85% of the Cmax and AUC values determined for the racemic compound.
After oral or intravenous administration of the R-isomer, very little the S-isomer was present in plasma, only about 6% relative to the AUC of the R-isomer, some of which may be accounted for the presence of the S-isomer (about 3%) as an impurity in the R-isomer formulation.
After oral administration of the S-isomer, both enantiomers were present in plasma in almost equal proportions, having similar AUC and Cmax values. Notably, the R-isomer was present as an impurity (about 2%) in the S-isomer formulation, but this impurity level is unlikely to account for this observation.

Selective CYP isoform inhibitors (furafulline, ticlopidine, quercetin, sulfaphenazole, ticlopidine, quinidine, ketoconazole) were screened alongside the test compounds as positive controls. A summary of IC50 values is presented in Table 7.

For urine collection data, the following parameters were calculated: total amount of drug excreted in urine from time 0 to 48 hours (Ae0-48), —and fraction of drug excreted in urine (Fe). The study was also designed to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic effects of the single and multiple oral doses of racemic (4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol on human subjects. The pharmacodynamic effects are based on measurement of STAT phosphorylation levels following ex vivo stimulation with cytokines signaling through JAK2 and JAK1. Also for part two of the study only, flow cytometry was performed to determine the prevalence of cellular subsets as identified by cell-type specific cell surface markers.

The vessel was sealed and purged with N2 by filling to 3 bar for 1 min and then venting, a further 5 purges was done with stirring (1500 rpm). A solution of t-BuOK/t-BuOH (1M, 14 μL) in i-PrOH—H2O (9:1 v/v, 1 mL) was added and the reaction purged with N2 according to the previous sequence. The vessel was then purged with H2 by filling to 30 bar for 1 min and venting, a further 5 purges was done with stirring (1500 rpm). The reaction was then heated to 40° C. and maintained at this temperature and pressure for 16 hrs.
Benchmark reaction conditions were tested initially, details of a reaction procedure are given below. A number of experimental variations were then compared and analysed for reaction conversion. The crude reaction slurry was diluted with THF to obtain a homogeneous solution for analysis.

I. Scale Up Reactions in 300 mL Parr Reactor
Reaction scale up was done in the 300 mL Parr reactor. Various mechanical issues were encountered and therefore, the results were not truly representative. Another experiment was conducted after resolving mechanical issues. Although improved results were obtained, the product ee was still relatively low in comparison with previous results in the 50 mL Parr vessel. No further experiments were done using this vessel as better results were obtained in the larger 600 mL Parr vessel.

J. Scale Up Reactions in 600 mL Parr Reactor
The reaction conditions using DMSO (10% v/v) as co-solvent were used as the benefits in reaction rate were demonstrated previously. The 600 mL Parr vessel was equipped with an intermig impeller for efficient stirring.
Catalyst loading 4,000/1 S/C: The total reaction time was 22 hours as the uptake curve appeared to flatten out after around 20 hrs as seen
Catalyst loading 10,000/1 S/C: A reaction using reduced catalyst loading was also attempted using this vessel. DMSO (10% v/v) co-solvent was used. A relatively long reaction time was required until hydrogen uptake had appeared to flatten (112 hrs, see

aEstimated based on initial catalyst loading and 0% ruthenium removal from product
A 600 mL Parr vessel was charged with (4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanone (80.16 g, 231 mmol), (S)-PPhos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN (65.3 mg, S/C 4,000/1), a solution of i-PrOH—H2O (9:1 v/v, 324 mL) and DMSO (36 mL). The vessel was sealed and purged with N2 by filling to 3 bar for 1 min and then venting, further 5 purges were done with stirring (1500 rpm). A solution of t-BuOK/t-BuOH (1 M, 348 μL) in i-PrOH—H2O (9:1 v/v, 10 mL) was added and the reaction purged with N2 according to the previous sequence. The vessel was then purged with H2 by filling to 5 bar for 2 min and venting, further 3 purges were done with stirring (1500 rpm). The reaction was then heated to 70° C. and maintained at this temperature and pressure for the indicated time.
The vessel was allowed to cool to room temperature before purging with nitrogen. The reaction slurry was diluted with H2O (260 mL) and filtered. The solid was washed with i-PrOH—H2O (1:1 v/v) (2×100 mL) and dried under high vacuum until constant mass was achieved. The reaction resulted in 71.75 g and isolated yield of 89.0%. HPLC analysis indicated 99.5% product and 0.5% starting material. The product enantiomeric excess of 99.1% in favour of the late eluting enantiomer.
Two batches of (4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanone were screened for conversion at catalyst loads of S/C 500/1 and 2000/1. Batch 1 contained ˜15% molar Et(i-Pr)2N, Hunig's base and 2% molar Ac)Et. Batch 2 contained ˜11% molar (3% w/w) AcOEt. The reaction were conducted in a BIOTAGE ENDEAVOR™ reactor with 1.13 g of a substrate, 0.3 mol % t-BuOK, in IPA/H2O/DMSO (8:1:1, v/v/v) at 70° C. and 5 bar hydrogen for 16 hrs. Various batches of catalyst [(S)-PPhosRuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] and [(R)-PPhosRuCl2(R)-DAIPEN] were used.
Batch 1 gave full conversion at both loads. Batch 2 gave full conversion with S/C 500/1, but no conversion with S/C 2000/1. Addition of 15 mol % of amine base led to slight increase of conversion for Batch 2. When recovered unreacted material was reused in reaction, improved conversions were obtained.
The results of these reactions suggested that purification of starting material combined with addition of base might resolve the poor reactivity of Batch 2.
Three basic purification procedures were used with Batch 2 (Table 51, Entries 5-7). The substrate nos. in column 2 of Table 51 are used in the Examples below to indicate the substrate batch used.
a. Homogeneity of Reaction
Tests for solubility of starting material, product and their mixture at 70° C. were performed. The aim of these experiments was to find the minimum amount of DMSO necessary to dissolve reagents and create homogeneous reaction mixture. One tube contained starting material, the second one a mixture of starting material and product (1/1) to simulate situation when reaction is half complete and the third tube contained product. Experiments were started in 5 mL of IPA/DMSO/water (8/1/1), where none of the mixtures was soluble at 70° C. DMSO was then added dropwise until full solubility could be reached. It was found that upon addition of additional 5 mL DMSO, full solubility of product was reached, while the mixture of starting material and product could be dissolved upon addition of 7 mL of DMSO. At these conditions, starting material was still partially undissolved. This experiment was used to determine the necessary amounts of DMSO to create a homogeneous reaction mixture (upon keeping the original quantities of IPA and water). Results of solubility tests of 1.113 g of material at 70° C. are provided in Table 52.
In Table 52, ketone refers to (4-fluorophenyl)(4-(5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanone and alcohol refers to (R)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol or (S)-(4-fluorophenyl)(4-((5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)quinazolin-2-yl)methanol.

Reactions of purified substrates were run in Endeavor at 2000/1 catalyst loading of [(S)-PPhos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] with various quantities of t-BuOK (used as 1M solution of t-BuOK in t-BuOH). Reactions were performed at 3.33 mmol scale using 2000/1 loading of catalyst in 5 mL IPA/DMSO/water (8/1/1), 5 bar H2 and 70° C. over 16 hrs. It was found that purifications were beneficial. Results of effect of base and purification are provided in Table 53. Substrates used in this experiment were obtained as described in Example 25, Table 51.
An BIOTAGE ENDEAVOR™ vial was charged with substrate (1.113 g, 3.33 mmol). IPA (1 mL), DMSO (0.5 mL) and water (0.5 mmol) were added successively. The vial was placed into the BIOTAGE ENDEAVOR™ and the system was purged with nitrogen by pressurizing to 3 bar and releasing pressure. 3 mL of catalyst stock solution, prepared by dissolving [(S)-PPhos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] (5.4 mg, 0.005 mmol) in IPA (12 mL) and adding solution of t-BuOK in t-BuOH (typically 666 mL for 5 mol %), was injected to each BIOTAGE ENDEAVOR™ reactor and the reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen (5×) and hydrogen (5×). Reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hrs at 4-5 bar (see Table 54) and 70° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool, depressurized and the contents of the reaction vial were transferred to a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask using 70 mL THF. This typically resulted in clear yellow solution. In some cases, an orange solution with undissolved solid was obtained, which indicated low/incomplete conversion. A sample was taken and reaction conversion and ee were determined by HPLC. Results are provided in Table 54. Substrates used in this experiment were obtained as described in Example 25, Table 51.
A Parr autoclave was charged with substrate (6.68 g, 20 mmol) and closed. Through the injection port, IPA (12 mL), DMSO (3 mL) and water (3 mmol) were added successively (autoclave was purged with nitrogen 5×). The catalyst solution prepared by dissolving [(S)-PPhos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] or [(R)-PPhos RuCl2(R)-DAIPEN] (5.4 mg, 0.005 mmol) in IPA (11 mL) and adding solution of t-BuOK in t-BuOH (typically 1 mL for 5 mol %) was added. The reactor was purged with nitrogen (5×) and hydrogen (5×). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hrs at 5 bar and 70° C. The reaction mixture was cooled down, depressurized and the contents of reactor were transferred to a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 30 mL water. Precipitate was filtered off, washed with IPA/water (15 mL, 9/1) and dried in vacuo giving the corresponding alcohol. A sample was prepared and reaction conversion and ee were determined by HPLC. Results are provided in Table 55 below. Substrates used in this experiment were obtained as described in Example 25, Table 51.
A Parr autoclave was charged with substrate (3.34 g, 10 mmol) and closed. Through the injection port, IPA (7 mL), DMSO (14 mL) and water (2 mL) were added successively (the autoclave was purged with nitrogen at least five times). 7 mL of catalyst solution prepared by dissolving [(S)-PPhos RuCl2(S)-DAIPEN] or [(R)-PPhos RuCl2(R)-DAIPEN] (5.4 mg, 0.005 mmol) in IPA (13 mL) and adding solution of t-BuOK in t-BuOH (1 mL for 5 mol %) was added. The reactor was purged with nitrogen (5×) and hydrogen (5×). The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 hrs at 4 bar and 70° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and depressurized. A sample was taken and reaction conversion and ee were determined by HPLC. The contents of the reactor were added drop wise under vigorous stirring to a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 30 mL water. Thick white precipitate formed immediately. The precipitate was filtered off, washed with water (15 mL) and dried in vacuum giving the corresponding alcohol. Results are provided in Table 55 below. substrates used in this experiment were obtained as described in Example 25, Table 51.
