Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to pyrazolo-quinazoline derivatives, to a process for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use as therapeutic agents, particularly in the treatment of cancer and cell proliferation disorders.


Discussion of the Background

Several cytotoxic drugs such as, e.g., fluorouracil (5-FU), doxorubicin and camptothecins, damage DNA or affect cellular metabolic pathways and thus cause, in many cases, an indirect block of the cell cycle. Therefore, by producing an irreversible damage to both normal and tumor cells, these agents result in a significant toxicity and side-effects.


In this respect, compounds capable of functioning as highly specific antitumor agents by selectively leading to tumor cell arrest and apoptosis, with comparable efficacy but reduced toxicity than the currently available drugs, are desirable.


It is well known that progression through the cell cycle is governed by a series of checkpoint controls, otherwise referred to as restriction points, which are regulated by a family of enzymes known as the cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk). In turn, the cdks themselves are regulated at many levels such as, for instance, binding to cyclins.


The coordinated activation and inactivation of different cyclin/cdk complexes is necessary for normal progression through the cell cycle. Both the critical G1-S and G2-M transitions are controlled by the activation of different cyclin/cdk activities. In G1, both cyclin D/cdk4 and cyclin E/cdk2 are thought to mediate the onset of S-phase. Progression through S-phase requires the activity of cyclin A/cdk2 whereas the activation of cyclin A/cdc2 (cdk1) and cyclin B/cdc2 are required for the onset of mitosis. For a general reference to cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases see, for instance, Kevin R. Webster et al, in Exp. Opin. Invest. Drugs, 1998, Vol. 7(6), 865-887.


Checkpoint controls are defective in tumor cells due, in part, to disregulation of cdk activity. For example, altered expression of cyclin E and cdks has been observed in tumor cells, and deletion of the cdk inhibitor p27 KIP gene in mice has been shown to result in a higher incidence of cancer.


Increasing evidence supports the idea that the cdks are rate-limiting enzymes in cell cycle progression and, as such, represent molecular targets for therapeutic intervention. In particular, the direct inhibition of cdk/cyclin kinase activity should be helpful in restricting the unregulated proliferation of a tumor cell.


Further protein kinases known in the art as being implicated in the growth of cancer cells are the Aurora kinases, in particular Aurora-2.


Aurora-2 was found to be over-expressed in a number of different tumor types. Its gene locus maps at 20q13, a chromosomal region frequently amplified in many cancers, including breast [Cancer Res. 1999, 59(9) 2041-4] and colon.


20q13 amplification correlates with poor prognosis in patients with node-negative breast cancer and increased Aurora-2 expression is indicative of poor prognosis and decreased survival time in bladder cancer patients [J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 2002, 94(17) 1320-9]. For a general reference to Aurora-2 role in the abnormal centrosome function in cancer see also Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 2003, 2, 589-595.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the invention to provide compounds which are useful in treating cell proliferative disorders caused by and/or associated with an altered protein kinase activity, for instance Aurora 2 inhibitory activity and cell cycle dependent kinase activity. It is another object to provide compounds which have protein kinase inhibitory activity.


The present inventors have now discovered that certain pyrazolo-quinazolines are endowed with protein kinase inhibitory activity and are thus useful in therapy as antitumor agents and lack, in terms of both toxicity and side effects, the aforementioned drawbacks associated with currently available antitumor drugs.


More specifically, the pyrazolo-quinazolines of the invention are useful in the treatment of a variety of cancers including, but not limited to: carcinoma such as bladder, breast, colon, kidney, liver, lung, including small cell lung cancer, esophagus, gall-bladder, ovary, pancreas, stomach, cervix, thyroid, prostate, and skin, including squamous cell carcinoma; hematopoietic tumors of lymphoid lineage including leukaemia, acute lymphocitic leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, B-cell lymphoma, T-cell-lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, hairy cell lymphoma and Burkett's lymphoma; hematopoietic tumors of myeloid lineage, including acute and chronic myelogenous leukemias, myelodysplastic syndrome and promyelocytic leukaemia; tumors of mesenchymal origin, including fibrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma; tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, including astrocytoma neuroblastoma, glioma and schwannomas; other tumors, including melanoma, seminoma, teratocarcinoma, osteosarcoma, xeroderma pigmentosum, keratoxanthoma, thyroid follicular cancer and Kaposi's sarcoma.


Due to the key role of cell cycle kinases such as Aurora or cdks in the regulation of cellular proliferation, these pyrazolo-quinazoline derivatives are also useful in the treatment of a variety of cell proliferative disorders such as, for example, benign prostate hyperplasia, familial adenomatosis, polyposis, neurofibromatosis, psoriasis, vascular smooth cell proliferation associated with atherosclerosis, pulmonary fibrosis, arthritis, glomerulonephritis and post-surgical stenosis and restenosis.


The compounds of the invention may be useful in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, as suggested by the fact that cdk5 is involved in the phosphorylation of tau protein (J. Biochem. 117, 741-749, 1995).


The compounds of this invention, as modulators of apoptosis, may also be useful in the treatment of cancer, viral infections, prevention of AIDS development in HIV-infected individuals, autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative disorders.


The compounds of this invention may be useful in inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and metastasis, as well as in the treatment of organ transplant rejection and host versus graft disease.


The compounds of the invention may also act as inhibitor of other protein kinases, e.g., protein kinase C in different isoforms, Met, PAK-4, PAK-5, ZC-1, STLK-2, DDR-2, Bub-1, PLK, Chk1, Chk2, HER2, raf1, MEK1, MAPK, EGF-R, PDGF-R, FGF-R, IGF-R, PI3K, weel kinase, Src, Abl, Akt, MAPK, ILK, MK-2, IKK-2, Cdc7, Nek, and thus be effective in the treatment of diseases associated with other protein kinases.


The compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment and prevention of radiotherapy-induced or chemotherapy-induced alopecia.


Accordingly, in a first embodiment, the present invention provides a method for treating cell proliferative disorders caused by and/or associated with an altered protein kinase activity, like for instance Aurora 2 activity and cell cycle dependent kinase activity, by administering to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of a pyrazolo-quinazoline derivative represented by formula (Ia) or (Ib)

After 4 hours, the plates were read for 2 min in a Packard TOP-Count radioactivity reader.

Reaction was carried out in buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mg/ml BSA, 7.5 mM DTT) containing 3.7 nM enzyme, histone and ATP (constant ratio of cold/labeled ATP 1/3000). Reaction was stopped with EDTA and the substrate captured on phosphomembrane (Multiscreen 96 well plates from Millipore). After extensive washing, the multiscreen plates were read on a top counter. Control (time zero) for each ATP and histone concentrations was measured.


Experimental Design:

Reaction velocities are measured at four ATP, substrate (histone) and inhibitor concentrations. An 80-point concentration matrix was designed around the respective ATP and substrate Km values, and the inhibitor IC50 values (0.3, 1, 3, 9 fold the Km or IC50 values). A preliminary time course experiment in the absence of inhibitor and at the different ATP and substrate concentrations allows the selection of a single endpoint time (10 min) in the linear range of the reaction for the Ki determination experiment.


Kinetic Parameter Estimates:

Kinetic parameters were estimated by simultaneous nonlinear least-square regression using [Eq. 1] (competitive inhibitor respect to ATP, random mechanism) using the complete data set (80 points):

The suppositories may contain, together with the active compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g., cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactant or lecithin.


With the aim to better illustrate the present invention, without posing any limitation to it, the following examples are now given.


EXAMPLES

Several compounds of formula (I), hence including those of formula (Ia) and (Ib) of the invention, have been prepared. Whilst some of them have been specifically named and listed in the following experimental section, most have been conveniently identified as per the coding system of the tables reported in the experimental section, together with their analytical data.


Each code, which unambiguosly identifies a single specific compound of formula (I) only, consists of five units B-X-M(C)-D.


Code B represents any R substituent, as per formula (I), being attached to the rest of the molecule through the X linkage; each B group is represented through the proper chemical formula in the following table I, also indicating its point of attachment to the rest of the molecule X-M.


Code X just represents the X group in formula (I); its meanings are represented in the following table II, also indicating its point of attachment to the rest of the molecule M.


Code C represents the R1 group being attached to the rest of the molecule through any one of the pyrazole nitrogen atoms, as per formula (I). Each C group is represented through the proper chemical formula in the following table III, also indicating its point of attachment to the rest of the molecule M.


Code D represents the R2 group being attached to the rest of the molecule through the carbonyl group, as per formula (I). Each D group is represented through the proper chemical formula in the following table IV, also indicating its point of attachment to the rest of the molecule M.


Finally, code M refers to the central core of the molecule (I) bearing a carbonyl group in position 3. From all of the above it is clear to the skilled person that M is substituted by groups —X— (code X), R1 (code C) and R2 (code D), as reported in formula (I); each M group is represented through the proper chemical formula, in table V, also indicating the positions of the other substituents.


Therefore, the coding system presently used for some compounds of formula (I) can be shortly summarised as follows:




embedded image


Just as an example, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, the compound B66-X03-M00(C01)-D01 (see example 36) represents the pyrazolo-quinazoline derivative of formula (Ia) wherein the central core is represented by the moiety MOO of table V, R is the group of formula B66 of table I, X is the divalent group X03 of table II, R1 is the group C01 of table III and R2 is the group D01 of table IV, having formula




embedded image


From all of the above, it is clear to the skilled person that when R1 and R2 are linked together as per formula (Ib), then this additional cycle is already included in the structure of the M moiety and, hence, codes C and D are missing.

The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue taken up with diethyl ether and the resulting precipitate collected by filtration giving 0.8 g of the title compound, that was employed in the next step without any further purification.


Step 2. Ethyl 1(2)-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazole-3-carboxylate

0.28 g (1.17 mmol) of ethyl 7-ethoxy-4,5-dihydro-1H-indazole-3-carboxylate were dissolved in 12 mL of dry dimethylformamide and 0.25 g (1.40 mmol) of 3,3-dimethylbutyl methanesulfonate were added. The resulting solution was treated with 0.06 g (1.40 mmol) of sodium hydride 60% in mineral oil and the reaction mixture stirred at 65° C. for 4 hours. Water was added to the reaction and the solution extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue redissolved with 10 mL of methanol. Few drops of 1 N HCl were then added and after 3 hours the reaction was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, giving a crude that, after drying over Na2SO4, was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column (eluant hexane/ethyl acetate 95/5) (75% yield).

45 mg (0.14 mmol) of 8-anilino-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxylic acid were dissolved in 7 mL of dimethylformamide and 145.6 mg (0.28 mmol) of (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP); 0.12 mL (0.70 mmol) of N,N-diisopropyl-N-ethyl amine and 0.08 mL (0.70 mmol) of aniline were then added. After 6 hours the solvent was removed, the residue was redissolved with dichloromethane and washed with water. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The product crystallized from methanol (60% yield).

Step. 1 Loading Primary Amines to a Solid Support (Resin)

A: Case where the “Resin” is 4-(4-formyl-3-methoxyphenoxy)butyryl polyethylene glycol grafted aminomethylpolystyrene-1% DVB:


For each variant of R2 primary amine, 1 gram (0.39 mmol) of the aforementioned resin was charged to a 10 mL Argonaut Quest 210 reaction tube. Trimethyl orthoformate (7 mL) was added to the tube along with 5 equivalents (1.95 mmol) of each primary amine (indicated as R2 in the scheme). The reaction was mixed on the Quest at 25° C. for 16 hours followed by a 2-hour period of heating at 70° C. After cooling and removal of the reaction solution, the resin was washed once with trimethyl orthoformate (7 mL each) and three times with anhydrous methanol (7 mL). Anhydrous methanol (5 mL) was then added to the resin, followed by the addition of 148 mg (3.9 mmol, 10 equiv) of sodium borohydride. After vigorous gas evolution had ceased, the tube was capped and mixed for 8 hours at room temperature. The resin was washed 3 times with methanol (5 mL), three times with methanol/water (1:1, 5 mL), and three times with DMF (5 mL). The resin was then treated with 20% piperidine in DMF for 1 hour at room temperature. Again, the resin was washed three times with DMF (5 mL), three times with methanol (5 mL), and three times with dichloromethane (5 mL). A sample of the resin was tested for quantitative amine loading by using the Fmoc UV-spectrometric method described below. Qualitatively, the resin was analyzed using the chloranil test method described below.


B: Case where the “Resin” is Rink amide, 4-(2′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl-fmoc-aminomethyl)phenoxy (copolystyrene-1% DVB):


1 g (0.39 mmol) of the aforementioned resin were charged into a 10 mL Argonaut Quest 210 reaction tube. The resin was treated with 20% piperidine in DMF for 5 minutes and a then a second treatment occurred for 30 minutes at room temperature. The resin was washed with DMF (3×5 mL), with methanol (3×5 mL) and with dichloromethane (3×5 mL).


Quantitative amine loading by using the Fmoc UV-spectrometric method:


A precisely tarred quantity (25 mg±5 mg) of dry, loaded resin was charged into a 3 mL polypropylene syringe, fitted with a filter disk. To the syringe, 3 equivalents of 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate dissolved in 1 mL of dichloromethane were charged and 1.5 equivalents of N,N-diisopropylethylamine were then added. The resin was shaken by means of orbital shaker, for 1 hour. The resin was washed with DMF (3×2 mL, 5 min.), with methanol (3×2 mL, 5 min.), and with DCM (3×2 mL, 5 min.).


1 mL of a 20% piperidine solution in DMF was drawn from the syringe and agitated for 5 minutes at room temperature. The solution was dispensed into a 10 mL volumetric flask. A second aliquot of the 20% piperidine solution in DMF was drawn and agitated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Again, the solution was dispensed into the same 10 mL volumetric flask (stock solution). DMF was added to the volumetric flask to achieve a 10 mL total volume. This volumetric flask containing the stock solution was agitated thoroughly and exactly 0.5 mL were transferred into a second 10 mL volumetric flask (test solution). Again, DMF was added to the volumetric flask up to a 10 mL total volume. The absorbance of this test solution was measured through an Amerasham Pharmacia Biotech Ultrospec 3000 Pro, UV-Vis spectrometer at λ=302 nm against DMF as the blank. The post reaction resin substitution was calculated using the following formula:





loading (mmol/g)=(A302×20 fold×10 mL)/8100×wt


where A302 is the UV absorbance at λ=302 nm, ε=8100 is the extinction coefficient of the piperidine-fluorenone adduct and wt is the tare of the resin in milligrams.


Qualitative chloranil (3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone) test for resin bound secondary amines: A small aliquot of pre-washed resin containing the attached amine was placed in a micro-test tube. The beads were washed once with acetone and the solvent was removed by decantation. One drop of the chloranil test solution was added to the test tube and allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. A dark green to brown color was a positive indication of a secondary amine. The intensity of the color was a non-quantitative indication of secondary amine concentration.


Test solution: a saturated solution of 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone in toluene at room temperature.


Step. 2 Acylation of the Solid Supported Amine with 8-iodo-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carbonyl fluoride

For each variant of R2 primary amine loaded onto 1 g (0.39 mmol) of the resin in step 1 above, the following pre-activated carboxylic acid fluoride reagent was added. In 5 mL of dichloromethane, 166 mg (0.47 mmol, 1.2 equivalents) of 8-iodo-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxylate, 155 mg (0.585 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) of tetramethylfluoroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate and 0.102 mL (0.585 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine were dissolved. N,N-Dimethylacetamide was added dropwise to the solution until all reagents were in solution with sonication. The reaction system was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Additional 0.102 mL (0.585 mmol, 1.5 equivalents) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine were added to the solution, in 30 minutes, and the entire content was charged to the resin on the Quest 210 synthesizer. The resin was mixed for 18 hours at room temperature. The resin was drained of the acylation cocktail and washed with DMF (3×5 mL, 5 min.), with methanol (3×5 mL, 5 min.) and with DCM (3×5 mL, 5 min.). The resin was dried from DCM under vacuum. The resin was qualitatively tested for the acylation reaction completion using the chloranil test method. A sample of each dried resin was subjected to the quantitative Fmoc UV-spectrometric analysis to determine the extent of resin bound acylation.


Step. 3 Catalytic Amination of the Solid Supported 8-iodo-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxamide

Using a 4 mL Argonaut Trident synthesizer cassette, 200 mg (0.078 mmol) of each resin type from step 2 above, were charged into separate vials. To each of the reactor vials flushed with argon, potassium carbonate (0.158 g, 1.56 mmol), palladium acetate [Pd(OAc)2] (1.8 mg, 0.008 mmol, 10%), (+)-BINAP (5.0 mg, 0.008 mmol, 10%) and the corresponding R1 amine (0.156 mmol, 2 equivalents) in dimethyacetamide (2 mL) were added. The resulting mixture was agitated at room temperature for 1 hour and then heated to 60° C. for 16 hours on the Argonaut Trident External Agitation Thermal Unit (EATU) synthesis station.


The resin was drained from the synthesis cocktail and washed using the Argonaut Trident EATU synthesis station with DMF (1×2 mL, 5 min.), with water (1×2 mL, 5 min.), with DMF/water (1:1) (3×2 mL, 5 min.), with DMF (3×2 mL, 5 min.), with methanol (3×2 mL, 5 min.) and with DCM (3×2 mL, 5 min.).


Step. 4 Cleavage of the Differentially Substituted 8-amino-1-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-h]quinazoline-3-carboxamide from the Solid Support

To each Argonaut Trident reactor vial, 2 mL of the following resin cleavage cocktail were added: dichloromethane (50 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (49 mL) and water (1 mL). The resin suspended in the cleavage cocktail was shaken for 1 hour at room temperature on the Argonaut Trident EATU synthesis station. The solution containing the crude products was captured into separate vials where three additional resin washing with dichloromethane (2 mL each) were also captured to the same corresponding vials.
