Abstract
The present invention comprises pyridopyrimidinediamine compounds of the general formula I:
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) are key enzymes in processes that regulate cell growth and differentiation. The inhibition of these enzymes can play a role in the modulation of multiple signaling pathways in which tyrosine phosphorylation dephosphorylation plays a role. PTP1B is a particular protein tyrosine phosphatase that is often used as a prototypical member of that class of enzymes. Kennedy et al., 1999, Science 283: 1544-1548 showed that protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B is a negative regulator of the insulin signaling pathway, suggesting that inhibitors of this enzyme may be beneficial in the treatment of diabetes.


PTPase inhibitors are recognized as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes. See, e.g. Moeller et al., 3(5):527-40, Current Opinion in Drug Discovery and Development, 2000; or Zhang, Zhong-Yin, 5:416-23, Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001. The utility of PTPase inhibitors as therapeutic agents has been a topic of discussion in several review articles, including, for example, Expert Opin Investig Drugs 12(2):223-33, February 2003.


Inhibitors of PTP-1B have utility in controlling or treating Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, in improving glucose tolerance, and in improving insulin sensitivity in patients in need thereof.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention comprises pyridopyrimidinediamine compounds of the general formula I:







The compounds of the present invention are potent inhibitors of PTP1B. Accordingly, the invention also encompasses pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating or preventing PTP-1B mediated diseases, including diabetes, obesity, and diabetes-related diseases.

Intravenous, intramuscular, oral or inhalation administrations are preferred forms of use. The dosages in which the compounds of the invention are administered in effective amount depend on the nature of the specific active ingredient, the age and requirements of the patient and the mode of administration. Dosages may be determined by any conventional means, e.g., by dose-limiting clinical trials. In general, dosages of about 0.1 to 20 mg/kg body weight per day are preferred, with dosages of 0.5-10 mg/kg per day being particularly preferred.


The invention further comprises pharmaceutical compositions that contain a pharmaceutically effective amount of a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Such compositions may be formulated by any conventional means. Tablets or granulates can contain a series of binders, fillers, carriers or diluents. Liquid compositions can be, for example, in the form of a sterile water-miscible solution. Capsules can contain a filler or thickener in addition to the active ingredient. Furthermore, flavor-improving additives as well as substances usually used as preserving, stabilizing, moisture-retaining and emulsifying agents as well as salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers and other additives can also be present. The previously mentioned carrier materials and diluents can comprise any conventional pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic substances, e.g., water, gelatine, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, gum arabic, polyalkylene glycols and the like.


Oral unit dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules, preferably contain from 1 mg to 250 mg of a compound of this invention. The compounds of the invention may be prepared by conventional means.


In accordance with this invention, the compounds herein as well as their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful in the control or prevention of illnesses associated with high blood glucose concentration. A preferred indication associated with the present invention is that associated with diabetes.


The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, have to be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In the case of oral administration, the dosage for adults may vary from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg per day of a compound of formula I, or of the corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The daily dosage may be administered as single dose or in divided doses, and in addition, the upper limit can also be exceeded when this is found to be indicated.


The methods for preparing the compounds of this invention are described in the following schemes:







SCHEME 1 describes a general method for the synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine analogs IV bearing R1 group at N-4 and substituted (A group) phenyl at C-7. Alkylamine displacement of 6-chloro-2,4-diaminopyrimidine to give 2,4-diamino-6-alkylaminopyrimidine I was carried out using similar procedures described by Elion, G. B. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1953, 75, 4311. 2,4-diamino-6-alkylaminopyrimidine I was then formylated to give 2,4-diamino-6-alkylaminopyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde II according to the procedures described by Delia, T. J. et al., Heterocycles 1983, 20, 1805. Friedlander condensation of 2,4-diamino-6-alkylaminopyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde II and substituted acetophenone III was carried out in a similar fashion as described by Evens, G. et al., J. Org. Chem. 1975, 40, 1438 and Perandones, F. et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1998, 35, 413 to give the desired product IV.


Substituted acetophenones III used in the Friedlander condensation reactions (SCHEME 1) are either commercially available or could be prepared using conventional synthetic methods: (a) from substituted benzoic acids, see e.g. Jorgenson, M. J. Org. React. 1970, 18, 1; (b) from substituted benzaldehydes, see e.g. Tanouchi, T. et al., J. Med. Chem. 1981, 24, 1149; (c) from substituted phenoltriflates (in turn prepared from substituted phenols), see e.g. Garrido, F. et al., Tet. Lett. 2001, 42, 265; (d) from substituted aryl iodides, see e.g. Cacchi, S. et al., Org. Letters. 2003, 5, 289.


The following procedures used in the synthesis of N4-Methyl-7-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (IV, R1=CH3, A=2,4,6-trimethyl) exemplify the typical reaction conditions described in SCHEME 1:


Compound I: To 6-chloro-2,4-diaminopyrimidine (5.0 g, 0.0347 mole) was added 25 mL of 25% aqueous MeNH2 solution (0.182 mole, prepared from 40% aqueous MeNH2 solution) in a sealed tube. The reaction was heated at 150° C. for 4.5 hours. TLC (Jan. 9, 1990 v/v/v conc.NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) analysis indicated complete disappearance of starting material. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give a crude oil. The crude was absorbed onto silica gel using methanol as solvent. The crude material on silica gel was purified using silica gel chromatography (conc.NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give 3.98 g of an impure material. Recrystallization of the impure material from 45 mL of hot ethanol gave 1.57 g (11.3 mmole, 33% yield) of 2,4-diamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine I as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 5.9 (broad s, 1H), 5.5 (broad s, 2H), 5.3 (broad s, 2H), 4.76 (s, 1H), 2.60 (broad s, 3H).


Compound II: To a 250 mL three-necked round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, argon inlet and thermometer was added N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL, anhydrous). The flask was cooled in a dry ice/ethylene glycol bath and phosphorus oxychloride (1.97 mL, 21.14 mmol) was added slowly at a rate so as to keep the internal temperature below 0° C. 2,4-diamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine I (2.20 g, 15.8 mmole) was then carefully added as a slurry in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL, anhydrous) (Exothermic!). The reaction was transferred to a 40° C. oil bath and stirred for 1.5 hours. The reaction was quenched with ice (˜70 g) and sodium hydroxide pellets (4 g) was added to make the solution slightly basic (pH ˜8). The mixture was then heated in a 90° C. oil bath until methylamine gas was no longer evolved from the mixture. Sodium hydroxide pellets were added as needed to keep the pH of mixture ˜8. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give a crude solid. The crude was absorbed onto silica gel using methanol as solvent. Silica gel chromatography (Isco 120 g, conc. NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) gave 1.23 g (7.36 mmole, 47% yield) of 2,4-diamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde II as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 9.68 (s, 1H), 9.1 (broad s, 1H), 6.85 (broad s, 2H), 6.5 (broad s, 2H), 2.80 (broad s, 3H).

The reaction was cooled to room temperature, concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel chromatography (Isco 120 g, NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give 81 mg (46% yield) of N4-Methyl-7-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (IV, R1=CH3, A=2,4,6-trimethyl) as a light yellow solid; LR-MS for C17H19N5 (M+H)+ at m/z=294. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 8.3 (d, 1H), 8.09 (broad s, 1H), 6.87-6.95 (m, 3H), 6.38 (broad s, 2H), 2.97 (broad s, 3H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.97 (s, 6H).







SCHEME 2 shows the special cases of Friedlander condensation reaction when highly electron-deficient acetophenones V containing 2′-fluoro group (B could be, but not limited to, F, C1 or CF3) are used as substrates. In these special cases, analog VII in which the 2′-F was displaced by the alcoholic solvent could be isolated while the expected product VI might or might not be isolated. Examples of alcohol used in the fluoride displacement include, but not limited to, methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, 1-propanol, cyclopentanol, ethylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol. Aromatic nucleophilic substitution reactions with fluoride ion acting as the leaving group have previously been reviewed by Vlasov, V. M. J. Fluorine Chem. 1993, 61, 193.

Silica gel chromatography (Isco 120 g, methylene chloride/methanol/ammonium hydroxide) afforded 20 mg (5% yield) of N4-Methyl-7-o-tolyl-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine (IV, R1=CH3, A=2-CH3) as a light brown solid; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C15H15N5 (M)+265.1327, found 265.1322. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 8.37 (d, 1H), 8.11 (broad s, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H), 7.3 (m, 3H), 7.16 (d, 1H), 6.42 (broad s, 2H), 2.97 (d, 3H), 2.37 (s, 3H).







SCHEME 4 describes an alternative general synthesis of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diamine analogs IV bearing R1 group at N-4 and substituted (A group) phenyl at C-7. Condensation of substituted acetophenone III with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal was carried out in a similar fashion as described in Tseng, S-S. et al., J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1987, 24, 837 and Moyroud, J. et al., Heterocycles 1996, 43, 221 to give dimethylamino-propenone VIII. Condensation of dimethylamino-propenone VIII with 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine was carried out with slight modifications as described in Troschutz, R. et al., Arch. Pharm. 1994, 327, 221 to give 2-amino-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ol X. 2-amino-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ol X was previously reported to be formed from the condensation of 4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine with 3-ketoaldehydes by Robins, R. K. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1958, 80, 3449. Protection of 2-amino-pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ol X as the N-2 pivaloyl pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ol XI was carried out in a similar fashion as described by Taylor, E. C. et al. Heterocycles 1993, 36, 1883 and Taylor, E. C. et al. Syn. Commun. 1988, 18, 1187.

Preparation of 2,4-diamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde






Step 1: To 6-chloro-2,4-diaminopyrimidine (5.0 g, 0.0347 mole) was added 25 ml of 25% aqueous MeNH2 solution (0.182 mole, prepared from 40% aqueous MeNH2 solution) in a sealed tube. The reaction was heated at 150° C. for 4.5 hours. TLC (Jan. 9, 1990 v/v/v conc.NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) analysis indicated complete disappearance of starting material.

The mixture was then heated in a 90° C. oil bath until methylamine gas was no longer evolved from the mixture. Sodium hydroxide pellets were added as needed to keep the pH of mixture ˜8. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give a crude solid. The crude was absorbed onto silica gel using methanol as solvent. Silica gel chromatography (Isco silica gel 120 g, NH4OH/MeOH/CH2Cl2) gave 1.23 g (47% yield) of 2,4-diamino-6-methylaminopyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde II as a light brown solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 9.68 (s, 1H), 9.1 (broad s, 1H), 6.85 (broad s, 2H), 6.5 (broad s, 2H), 2.80 (broad s, 3H).

Example 140
In Vitro Inhibition of PTP1B
Enzymes

Human PTP1B (1-321) was cloned from a human cDNA library using conventional molecular biology techniques. The cDNA sequence was identical to the published human PTP1B sequence (Accession number M33689). The protein was expressed and purified from E. coli as described by Barford D. et. al J. Mol. Biol (1994) 239, 726-730.


PTPase Assays

The measurement of PTPase activity was carried out using one of two methods:


The first method for the measurement of PTP1B inhibitory activity a tyrosine phosphorylated peptide based on the amino acid sequence of insulin receptor tyrosine autophosphorylation site 1146 (TRDI(pY)E) was used as substrate. The reaction conditions were as follows:


PTP1B (0.5-2 nM) was incubated with compound for 15 min in buffer containing 37.5 mM Bis-Tris buffer pH 6.2, 140 mM NaCl, 0.05% BSA and 2 mM DTT. The reaction was started by the addition of 50 μM substrate. After 20 min at room temperature (22-25° C.), the reaction was stopped with KOH and the amount of free phosphate measured using Malachite Green as previously described (Harder et al. 1994 Biochem J. 298; 395).


The second method was used for the measurement of general PTPase inhibitory activity across a panel of PTPases the substrate (6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP; from Molecular Probes) was used at the Km for each enzyme. The buffer conditions were identical as in the Malachite Green assay. The reaction was stopped with KOH. In this case the dephosphorylated product becomes fluorescent and the fluorescense read (Excitation: 360 mM/Emmission: 460 nM).


For kinetic experiments, the same buffer conditions were used except that the reaction was started using enzyme and the reaction stopped after 10 minutes.


The IC50 values (in μM) for the PTP1B inhibitory activity of the compounds in the present application are in the range of about 0.14 μM to about 80 μM. The following Table lists IC50 results for several of the above exemplified compounds:

The starvation medium was removed and replaced with test medium (150 mM NaCl, 25 mM Hepes, pH 7.0) containing either 1% DMSO, or test compound diluted in DMSO or Porcine Insulin to a final concentrations of 1, 0.1, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.01 μM. Each assay point was performed in triplicate. The cells were incubated for 45 min at 37° C. 10 μM Cytochalasin B (CB) was added to appropriate wells to stop the active glucose transport (i.e., GLUT 1 & 4). At this point 2-Deoxy-D(U-15C)glucose (Amersham, Code CFB195, 200 uCi/ml) was added to all wells to a final concentration of 0.8 μCi/ml. The cells were incubated for an additional 45 minutes at 37° C. in an incubator. Cells were then very gently washed for three times in PBS (RT). The cells were then lysed with the addition of 0.05% NaOH solution for 20 min at RT. The lysate was transferred to a scintillation vial containing 5 ml of scintillation fluid and counted in a Beckman LS6500 Scintillation counter. Analysis of results: The counts obtained with CB (passive glucose transport values) were subtracted from every value obtained with PI (or compounds) in order to evaluate only active glucose transport. Fold increase was calculated by dividing values in the presence of PI (or compounds) by the value obtained in the presence of DMSO (control). Compounds were considered to be active when they increase glucose uptake at least 25% of the Porcine Insulin response at 0.05 μM.


In vivo inhibition of PTP1B: The anti-diabetic effect of compounds can be confirmed in well established rodent in vivo models of type 2 diabetes and obesity as set forth in the following procedures:


Example 142
Mouse Models

Diet Induced Obese (DIO) Mouse Model: A majority of male C57BL/6J mice fed a diet consisting of 35.5% fat for 3 months develop obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. DIO mice are probably a better model for human type-2 diabetes than are genetic mutations with multiple neuroendocrine abnormalities. Furthermore, the DIO mice probably develop type-2 diabetes in a manner similar to most cases of type-2 diabetes in humans, e.g. only those predisposed individuals who become obese after access to a diabetogenic diet.


B6.C-m Lepdb/++/J: Mice homozygous for the diabetes spontaneous mutation (Leprdb) become identifiably obese around 3 to 4 weeks of age. Elevations of plasma insulin begin at 10 to 14 days and of blood sugar at 4 to 8 weeks. Homozygous mutant mice are polyphagic, polydipsic, and polyuric. The course of the disease is markedly influenced by genetic background. A number of features are observed on the C57BLKS background, including an uncontrolled rise in blood sugar, severe depletion of the insulin-producing beta-cells of the pancreatic islets, and death by 10 months of age. Exogenous insulin fails to control blood glucose levels and gluconeogenic enzyme activity increases. Peripheral neuropathy and myocardial disease are seen in C57BLKS Leprdb homozygotes.


B6.V-Lepob/J: Mice homozygous for the obese spontaneous mutation, (Lepob commonly referred to as ob or ob/ob), are first recognizable at about 4 weeks of age. Homozygous mutant mice increase in weight rapidly and may reach three times the normal weight of wildtype controls. In addition to obesity, mutant mice exhibit hyperphagia, a diabetes-like syndrome of hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, elevated plasma insulin, subfertility, impaired wound healing, and an increase in hormone production from both pituitary and adrenal glands. They are also hypometabolic and hypothermic. The obesity is characterized by an increase in both number and size of adipocytes. Although hyperphagia contributes to the obesity, homozygotes gain excess weight and deposit excess fat even when restricted to a diet sufficient for normal weight maintenance in lean mice. Hyperinsulinemia does not develop until after the increase body weight and is probably the result of it. Homozygotes do have an abnormally low threshold for stimulation of pancreatic islet insulin secretion even in very young preobese animals. Female homozygotes exhibit decreased uterine and ovarian weights, decreased ovarian hormone production and hypercytolipidemia in follicular granulosa and endometrial epithelial tissue layers (Garris et al., 2004).


Mouse Criteria:

DIO Mouse Model: Mice used in these studies are at least 18 weeks of age and maintained on a high fat diet (BioServ F3282) for at least 12 weeks, The mice are weighed on the day prior to the study and sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in body weights, the DIO mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) body weights are excluded.


B6.C-m Lepdb/++/J: Mice used in these studies are at least 9 weeks of age and maintained on Purina Lab Diet 5008 starting at 6 weeks of age. Two to three days prior to the study blood glucose levels of the mice are determined following a two hour fast. The mice are sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in blood glucose levels, the mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) blood glucose levels are excluded with the goal of achieving an average blood glucose level between 160-190 mg/dl.


B6.V-Lepob/J: Mice used in these studies are at least 7 weeks of age and maintained on Purina Lab Diet 5001. Two to three days prior to the study blood glucose levels of the mice are determined following a two hour fast. The mice are sorted into treatment groups. Because of the variability in blood glucose levels, the mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) blood glucose levels are excluded. In some instances mice are sorted based on body weights, the ob/ob mice having the most extreme (i.e. highest or lowest) body weights were excluded.


Experimental Parameters:

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): Mice are placed into individual cages and fasted for 15 hours. After 15 hours the mice are treated orally by gavage with vehicle or compound using a dose volume of 5 ml/kg. An oral glucose challenge (1-2 g/kg) is administered four hours following treatment. Blood is collected from the tail vein into a 20 ul heparinized microhematocrit tube immediately prior to dosing with vehicle or compound, immediately prior to the OGTT and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and sometimes up to 4 hours following the OGTT. The blood is transferred immediately to a microfuge tube. Blood glucose is measured with the YSI 2700 Select Glucose Analyzer. In some instances mice are fasted for only 2 hours prior to dosing with vehicle or compound and the OGTT is administered 4 hours post dose.


Acute Efficacy Study: Mice are placed into individual cages and fasted for 2 hours. After 2 hours the mice are treated orally by gavage with vehicle or compound using a dose volume of 5 ml/kg. Blood is collected from the tail vein into a 20 ul heparinized microhematocrit tube immediately prior to dosing with vehicle or compound and 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours following treatment. The blood is transferred immediately to a microfuge tube. Blood glucose is measured with the YSI 2700 Select Glucose Analyzer


Mice that have type 2 diabetes are generated by maintaining them on a high fat diet for 4-6 months (Diabetes vol. 37 September 1988). Male C57BL/6J mice (age 3-4 weeks) are placed on high fat diet for 4-6 months. At this time they are hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic and weighed 40-50 g. DIO mice (n=10) are weighed and fasted for a two hour period prior to oral treatment. Immediately prior to dosing a pre-dose blood glucose reading is taken by snipping off a portion of the tail and collecting blood from the tail vein. Mice are treated either with a single dose of compound (acute) or once a day for 5 days (sub-chronic). For the acute studies, glucose is generally measured at 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h post treatment. Compounds are considered active if the compounds demonstrated AUC (Area under the curve) show a statistically significant (p≦0.05) glucose lowering (>15%) compared to the vehicle treated animals.


For sub-chronic (5 day) studies mice are dosed once a day by gavage as described above. On day five, glucose is measured prior to dosing (0 time) and 2 hours after dosing. Insulin and triglycerides are measured at 2 hour post dose. Compounds are considered active if the compounds demonstrated AUC (Area under the curve) show a statistically significant (p<0.05) glucose, insulin and triglyceride lowering compared to the vehicle treated animals.
