Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This invention relates to substituted pyrimidine derivatives which are useful as inhibitors of PKC-theta and are thus useful for treating a variety of diseases and disorders that are mediated or sustained through the activity of PKC-theta, including immunological disorders and type II diabetes. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds, methods of using these compounds in the treatment of various diseases and disorders, processes for preparing these compounds and intermediates useful in these processes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The protein kinase C family is a group of serine/threonine kinases that is comprised of twelve related isoenzymes. These kinases are expressed in a wide range of tissues and cell types. Its members are encoded by different genes and are sub-classified according to their requirements for activation. The classical PKC enzymes (cPKC) require diacylglycerol (DAG), phosphatidylserine (PS) and calcium for activation. The novel PKC's (nPKC) require DAG and PS but are calcium independent. The atypical PKC's (aPKC) do not require calcium or DAG.

[0004] PKC-theta is a member of the nPKC sub-family. It has a restricted expression pattern, found predominantly in T cells and skeletal muscle. Upon T cell activation, a supramolecular activation complex (SMAC) forms at the site of contact between the T cell and antigen presenting cell (APC). PKC-theta is the only PKC isoform found to localize at the SMAC (C. Monks et al., Nature, 1997, 385, 83), placing it in proximity with other signaling enzymes that mediate T cell activation processes. In another study (G. Baier-Bitterlich et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 1996, 16, 842) the role of PKC-theta in the activation of AP-1, a transcription factor important in the activation of the IL-2 gene, was confirmed. In unstimulated T cells, constitutively active PKC-theta stimulated AP-1 activity while in cells with dominant negative PKC-theta, AP-1 activity was not induced upon activation by PMA. Other studies showed that PKC-theta, via activation of IκB kinase beta, mediates activation of NF-κB induced by T cell receptor/CD28 co-stimulation (N. Coudronniere et al., Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2000, 97, 3394; X. Lin et al., Moll. Cell. Biol., 2000, 20, 2933). Proliferation of peripheral T cells from PKC-theta knockout mice, in response to T cell receptor (TCR)/CD28 stimulation was greatly diminished compared to T cells from wild type mice. In addition, the amount of IL-2 released from the T cells was also greatly reduced (Z. Sun et al., Nature, 2000, 404, 402). Otherwise, the PKC-theta knockout mice seemed normal and were fertile.

[0005] The studies cited above and other studies confirm the critical role of PKC-theta in T cell activation and subsequent release of cytokines such as IL-2 and T cell proliferation (A. Altman et al., Immunology Today, 2000, 21, 567). Thus an inhibitor of PKC-theta would be of therapeutic benefit in treating immunological disorders and other diseases mediated by the inappropriate activation of T cells.

[0006] It has been well established that T cells play an important role in regulating the immune response (Powrie and Coffman, Immunology Today, 1993, 14, 270). Indeed, activation of T cells is often the initiating event in immunological disorders. Following activation of the TCR, there is an influx of calcium that is required for T cell activation. Upon activation, T cells produce cytokines, including as IL-2, leading to T cell proliferation, differentiation, and effector function. Clinical studies with inhibitors of IL-2 have shown that interference with T cell activation and proliferation effectively suppresses immune response in vivo (Waldmann, Immunology Today, 1993, 14, 264). Accordingly, agents that inhibit T lymphocyte activation and subsequent cytokine production are therapeutically useful for selectively suppressing the immune response in a patient in need of such immunosuppression and therefore are useful in treating immunological disorders such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

[0007] In addition, PKC theta activation has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle (M. E. Griffen et al., Diabetes, 1999, 48, 1270). Therefore inhibitors of PKC-theta may also be useful for treating type II diabetes.

[0008] Dahmann et al, U.S. application Ser. No. 10/271,763, filed Oct. 16, 2002, (now U.S. patent application Publication No. 2003/0171359 A1) discloses pyrimidine derivatives as inhibitors of various protein kinases such as SRC kinase, PLK kinase and particularly cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and Aurora B. WO 00/75113 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,432,963 describe pyrimidine carboxamides as inhibitors of Syk tyrosine kinase. WO 01/00213 discloses heteroaryl substituted pyrimidines as SRC kinase inhibitors. WO 97/19065 describes substituted 2-anilinopyrimidine compounds as inhibitors of certain protein kinases. WO 02/096887 and WO 02/096888 both disclose 2-anilinopyrimidine derivatives as inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases. WO 03/106451 discloses certain substituted diaminopyrimidine compounds as inhibitors of PKC-theta.

[0009] There is a continuing need in the art for compounds that are potent and selective inhibitors of PKC-theta.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Definition of Terms and Conventions Used

[0017] Terms not specifically defined herein should be given the meanings that would be given to them by one of skill in the art in light of the disclosure and the context. As used in the present specification and claims, however, unless specified to the contrary, the following terms have the meaning indicated and the following conventions are adhered to.

[0018] A. Chemical Nomenclature, Terms, and Conventions

[0019] In general, for groups comprising two or more subgroups, the last named group is the radical attachment point, for example, “alkylaryl” means a monovalent radical of the formula Alk-Ar-, while “arylalkyl” means a monovalent radical of the formula Ar-Alk- (where Alk is an alkyl group and Ar is an aryl group). Furthermore, the use of a term designating a monovalent radical where a divalent radical is appropriate shall be construed to designate the respective divalent radical and vice versa. Unless otherwise specified, conventional definitions of terms control and conventional stable atom valences are presumed and achieved in all formulas and groups.

[0020] All alkyl groups shall be understood as being branched or unbranched unless otherwise specified. Other more specific definitions are as follows:

[0021] The term “halogen” as used in the present specification shall be understood to mean bromine, chlorine, fluorine or iodine.

[0022] The term “heteroaryl” refers to a stable 5 or 6 membered, monocyclic aromatic heterocycle radical, wherein the heterocycle radical is optionally fused to either an aryl, e.g. benzene, or to a second 5 or 6 membered, monocyclic aromatic heterocycle to form in each case a bicyclic heteroaryl group. Each heterocycle consists of carbon atoms and from 1 to 3 heteroatoms chosen from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. The heterocycle may be attached by any atom of the cycle, which results in the creation of a stable structure. Example “heteroaryl” radicals include, pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, thienyl, furyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxazolyl, thiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzofuranyl, benzoxazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzpyrazolyl, benzothiofuranyl, benzothiazolyl, quinazolinyl and indazolyl.

[0023] The term “aryl” shall be understood to mean a 6-10 membered monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic carbocycle, and includes, for example, phenyl and naphthyl; other terms comprising “aryl” will have the same definition for the aryl component, and examples of these moieties include: arylalkyl, aryloxy or arylthio.

[0024] The term “oxo” refers to a double-bonded oxygen group (═O).

[0025] The phrases “wherein each of the C1-6alkyl groups”, “wherein each of the C1-8alkyl groups” or “wherein each of the aryl groups” or similar language in a definition is intended to refer to the indicated groups when either alone or as part of another chemical group if such combined groups are provided for in a definition. For example, the language “wherein each of the C1-6alkyl groups” refers to C1-6alkyl groups as well as C1-6alkyl groups when attached to other groups, e.g., the C1-6alkyl portion of a C1-6alkyloxy or aryl-C1-6alkyl group, if such groups are provided for in a definition.

[0026] The term “amino protected derivatives” shall be understood to mean compounds of formula (I) wherein one or more of the amine groups are protected by suitable amino protecting groups. Amino protecting groups that may be used include, for example, alkoxycarbonyl groups, such as tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and ethoxycarbonyl, Mannich bases, Schiff bases and amino acids. As would be understood by a person skilled in the art, such amino protected compounds may be useful as intermediates in the preparation of other compounds of formula (I), e.g., as described in the synthetic processes below, and/or may themselves be useful as prodrugs that can be administered to a patient to be converted in vivo into a PKC-theta inhibitor having the resulting pharmacologic and therapeutic effects expected from the inhibition of PKC-theta in a patient.

[0027] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of suitable acids include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, carbonic, sulfuric, nitric, perchloric, fumaric, maleic, phosphoric, glycolic, lactic, salicylic, succinic, toluene-p-sulfonic, tartaric, acetic, citric, methanesulfonic, formic, benzoic, malonic, naphthalene-2-sulfonic and benzenesulfonic acids. Other acids, such as oxalic acid, while not themselves pharmaceutically acceptable, may be employed in the preparation of salts useful as intermediates in obtaining the compounds of this invention and their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal (e.g., sodium), alkaline earth metal (e.g., magnesium), ammonium and N-(C1-4 alkyl)4+ salts.

[0028] The term “solvate” means a physical association of a compound with one or more solvent molecules or a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute (for example, a compound of Formula (I)) and a solvent, for example, water, ethanol, or acetic acid. This physical association may involve varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the crystalline solid. In general, the solvents selected do not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Solvates encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, methanolates, and the like.

[0029] The term “hydrate” means a solvate wherein the solvent molecule(s) is/are H2O.

[0030] The term “compounds of the invention” and equivalent expressions are meant to embrace compounds of Formula (I) as herein described, including the tautomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, and amino-protected derivatives thereof, where the context so permits. In general, the compounds of the invention and the formulas designating the compounds of the invention are understood to only include the stable compounds thereof and exclude unstable compounds, even if an unstable compound might be considered to be literally embraced by the compound formula.

[0031] The term “stable compound” means a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent. For example, a compound which would have a “dangling valency” is not a compound contemplated by the invention.

[0032] Specific compounds of the present invention may be identified in the present specification by chemical name and/or chemical structure. In the event of any conflict between the chemical name and chemical structure, the chemical structure will control.

[0033] B. Isomer Terms and Conventions

[0034] In general, all tautomeric and isomeric forms and mixtures thereof, for example, individual geometric isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, racemic or non-racemic mixtures of stereoisomers, mixtures of diastereomers, or mixtures of any of the foregoing forms of a chemical structure or compound is intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated in the compound name or structure.

[0035] It is well-known in the art that the biological and pharmacological activity of a compound is sensitive to the stereochemistry of the compound. Thus, for example, enantiomers often exhibit strikingly different biological activity including differences in pharmacokinetic properties, including metabolism, protein binding, and the like, and pharmacological properties, including the type of activity displayed, the degree of activity, toxicity, and the like. Thus, one skilled in the art will appreciate that one enantiomer may be more active or may exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other enantiomer or when separated from the other enantiomer. Additionally, one skilled in the art would know how to separate, enrich, or selectively prepare the enantiomers of the compounds of the present invention from this disclosure and the knowledge in the art.

[0036] Preparation of pure stereoisomers, e.g. enantiomers and diastereomers, or mixtures of desired enantiomeric excess (ee) or enantiomeric purity, are accomplished by one or more of the many methods of (a) separation or resolution of enantiomers, or (b) enantioselective synthesis known to those of skill in the art, or a combination thereof. These resolution methods generally rely on chiral recognition and include, for example, chromatography using chiral stationary phases, enantioselective host-guest complexation, resolution or synthesis using chiral auxiliaries, enantioselective synthesis, enzymatic and nonenzymatic kinetic resolution, or spontaneous enantioselective crystallization. Such methods are disclosed generally in Chiral Separation Techniques: A Practical Approach (2nd Ed.), G. Subramanian (ed.), Wiley-VCH, 2000; T. E. Beesley and R. P. W. Scott, Chiral Chromatography, John Wiley & Sons, 1999; and Satinder Ahuja, Chiral Separations by Chromatography, Am. Chem. Soc., 2000. Furthermore, there are equally well-known methods for the quantitation of enantiomeric excess or purity, for example, GC, HPLC, CE, or NMR, and assignment of absolute configuration and conformation, for example, CD ORD, X-ray crystallography, or NMR.

[0037] C. Pharmaceutical Administration Terms and Conventions

[0038] The term “patient” includes both human and non-human mammals.

[0039] The term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a compound according to the invention which, when administered to a patient in need thereof, is sufficient to effect treatment for disease-states, conditions, or disorders for which the compounds have utility. Such an amount would be sufficient to elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, or patient that is sought by a researcher or clinician. The amount of a compound of according to the invention which constitutes a therapeutically effective amount will vary depending on such factors as the compound and its biological activity, the composition used for administration, the time of administration, the route of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound, the duration of treatment, the type of disease-state or disorder being treated and its severity, drugs used in combination with or coincidentally with the compounds of the invention, and the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient. Such a therapeutically effective amount can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to their own knowledge, the state of the art, and this disclosure.

[0040] The phrase “disease or disorder associated with the activation of T cells” and similar expressions mean that the activation of T cells is a contributing factor to either the origin or continuation of the disease or disorder in the patient.

[0097] As discussed above, any compound of this invention may occur as individual geometric isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, racemic or non-racemic mixtures of stereoisomers, and mixtures of diastereomers, All such isomeric forms, and mixtures thereof, of these compounds are expressly included in the present invention. Each stereogenic carbon may be in the R or S configuration, or a combination of configurations.

[0098] Some of the compounds of the present invention can exist in more than one tautomeric form. The invention also includes all such tautomers.

General Synthetic Methods

[0099] The compounds of the invention may be prepared by the methods described below. In each of the schemes below, the groups R1, R2 and R3 are as defined above for general formula I unless noted otherwise. Optimum reaction conditions and reaction times may vary depending on the particular reactants used. Unless otherwise specified, solvents, temperatures, pressures and other reaction conditions may be readily selected by one of ordinary skill in the art. Specific procedures are provided in the Synthetic Examples section. Typically, reaction progress may be monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) if desired. Intermediates and products may be purified by chromatography on silica gel and/or recrystallization. Starting materials and reagents are either commercially available or may be prepared by one skilled in the art using methods described in the chemical literature.

[0100] Compounds of formula (I) may be prepared as illustrated in Scheme I and described below. 186

[0101] As illustrated above, a 2,4-dihalopyrimidine (II), preferably a 2,4-dichloropyrimidine, is reacted with about one equivalent of an amine (R′R″NH) in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, in a suitable solvent, such as EtOH, to provide intermediate III. The reaction is carried out preferably at about 0° C. to about room temperature. Intermediate III is then reacted with a second amine R1NH2 in a suitable solvent, such as EtOH, to provide the desired I. The reaction is preferably heated to about the reflux temperature of the solvent. For intermediates III having R3 groups that are less electron withdrawing than NO2, such as R3=F, Cl, CN or CO2Et, the reaction is preferably carried out in a sealed vessel in a microwave reactor at about 140° C.

[0102] If R2 contains a second amine group, (i.e., in the R′ and/or R″ groups in Scheme I above) the second amine is preferably protected with a suitable amino-protecting group, for example with a Boc-group, prior to reaction with intermediate II, and the amine is deprotected after reaction of the pyrimidine intermediate with R1NH2. For example, in the case of 1,4-cyclohexanebis(methylamine) as illustrated in Scheme II, the mono-Boc-protected diamine is reacted with II as described above. The resulting intermediate IV is then reacted with R1NH2 as described above, and the Boc-protected intermediate V is then deprotected by treatment with acid to provide the desired compound of formula (I). 187

[0103] In a variation illustrated in Scheme III, if R3 is NO2, intermediate II may be reacted with a thiocyanate salt, such as potassium thiocyanate, in a suitable solvent, such as EtOH, to produce VI. Intermediate VI is reacted with R1NH2 in a suitable solvent, such as EtOH, and in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, to provide VII. Intermediate VII may then be reacted with an amine R′R″NH in a suitable solvent, such as EtOH or methylene chloride, to provide the desired compound of formula I 188

[0104] Substituents R1, R2 and R3 may be further modified by methods known in the art to obtain additional compounds of formula (I). Some of these modifications are illustrated in the synthetic examples below.

[0105] In order that this invention be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. These examples are for the purpose of illustrating embodiments of this invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way. Starting materials used are either commercially available or easily prepared from commercially available materials by those skilled in the art.

After stirring at room temperature for 16 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to provide [4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-cyclohexylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white powder 34.32 g, 99%, m/z calculated for C18H34N2O4: 342.5, found: 343.3 (M+H)+.

[0108] To a solution of [4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-cyclohexylmethyl]-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (11.00 g, 32 mmol) dissolved in 2:1 CHC3:EtOH at room temperature was added 4.0 M HCl/dioxane (16.1 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h then concentrated in vacuo to provide a crude white solid. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography using a gradient elution of 10-50% (2% NH4OH, 18% MeOH, 80% CH2Cl2)/CH2Cl2. The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to provide (4-aminomethyl-cyclohexylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white powder 3.62 g, 47%, m/z calculated for C13H26N2O2: 242.4, found: 243.3 (M+H)30 .

[0109] To a solution of (4-aminomethyl-cyclohexylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (606 mg, 2.5 mmol) and triethylamine (0.7 mL, 5.0 mmol) dissolved in EtOH at 0° C., was added 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoropyrimidine (835 mg, 5.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography using 0-20% EtOAc/hexanes. The product-containing fractions were combined and concentrated in vacuo to provide {4-[(2-chloro-5-fluoro-pyrimidinyl-4-amino)-methyl]-cyclohexylmethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a white solid 495 mg, 53%, m/z calculated for C17H26ClFN4O2: 372.9, found: 373.4 (M+H)+.

[0110] {4-[(2-chloro-5-fluoro-pyrimidinyl-4-amino)-methyl]-cyclohexylmethyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester and 2-chlorobenzylamine were added to a microwave reaction tube and dissolved in absolute EtOH (2 mL).

Assessment of Biological Activity

[0169] PKC-theta Inhibition Assay

[0170] The ability of compounds to inhibit the kinase activity of PKC-theta was measured using a competitive Fluorescent Polarization Assay (PanVera R2748). Human recombinant PKC-theta (PanVera R2996), was used at a final concentration of 50 nM in a kinase assay buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM CaCl2, 0.01% CHAPS, 100 microM Ortho V anadate (Sigma), Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche), 200 microM TCEP). PKC-theta was incubated with test compound for 10 minutes at room temperature. PKC-alpha pseudosubstrate (RFARKGSLRQKNV; PanVera R2760) at a final concentration of 1 microM and ATP (Amersham 27-2056-01) at a final concentration of 10 microM were added and incubated 60 minutes at room temperature. The kinase reaction was stopped by adding an anti-phosphoserine containing peptide antibody and fluorescein-labeled phosphopeptide tracer (“F-phosphopeptide”) diluted in a quench buffer containing EDTA. The FP reaction was incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature. Phosphopeptide, generated by the kinase activity of PKC-theta, competes with the F-phosphopeptide for the anti-phosphopeptide antibody. Inhibition of kinase activity will result in the binding of the antibody to the F-phosphopeptide, yielding an increase in the fluorescence polarization. Change in polarization was measured on an LJL Criterion Analyst with 485 nm excitation filter, 530 mn emission filter, and 505 nm dichroic mirror.

[0171] All compounds in the synthetic examples and Tables above were evaluated in the PKC-theta assay above and were found to have IC50's less than 10 microM. Preferred compounds had IC50's equal to or less than 0.3 microM.

[0172] Many of the compounds in the synthetic examples and Tables above were also tested against Syk, Lyn, Veg-f and insulin receptor kinase to evaluate selectivity for PKC-theta inhibition. Some compounds were also tested against other kinases including CDK-5, CDK-1 and PLK. Many of the compounds demonstrated selectivity for the inhibition of PKC-theta as compared to one or more of the other kinases tested.

[0173] Assay conditions for testing against other kinases are generally known in the art. Examples of suitable assays that can be used are described below:

[0174] SYK Kinase Assay

[0175] SYK is purified as a GST-fusion protein. The kinase activity is measured using DELFIA (Dissociation Enhanced Lanthanide Fluoroimmunoassay) which utilizes europium chelate-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies to detect phosphate transfer to a random polymer, poly Glu4: Tyr1 (PGTYR).

[0176] The kinase assay is performed in kinase assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, 25 mM MgCl2, 5 mM MnCl2, 50 mM KCl, 100 μM Na3VO4, 0.2% BSA, 0.01% CHAPS). Test samples initially dissolved in DMSO at 1 mg/mL, may be pre-diluted for dose response (11 doses with starting final concentration of 30 μg/mL, 1 to 3.5 serial dilutions) with the assay buffer in 96-well polypropylene microtiter plates. A 25 μL aliquot of this diluted sample is added to neutravidin coated 96-well white plate (PIERCE). A 25 μL volume of diluted enzyme (0.6 ng/mL final conc.) and a 50 μL volume of a mixture of substrates containing 200 nM ATP and 3.6 ng/μL PGTYR-biotin (CIS Biointemational) in kinase buffer is sequentially added to the assay plates. Background wells are incubated with buffer, rather than 25 μL enzyme. The assay plates are incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Following incubation, the assay plates are washed three times with 300 μL wash buffer (50 mM Tris-HCL, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 0.2% BSA). A 100 μL aliquot of europium-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine (Eu3+-PT66, Wallac CR04-100) diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.8, 150 mM NaCl, 10 μM DTPA, 0.05% Tween 40, 0.2% BSA, 0.05% BGG (1 nM final conc.) is added to each well and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Upon completion of the incubation, the plate is washed four times with 300 μL of wash buffer and 100 μL of DELFIA Enhancement Solution (Wallac) is added to each well. After 10 minutes or longer, time-resolved fluorescence is measured on the LJL's Analyst (excitation at 360 nm, emission at 620 nm, EU 400 Dichroic Mirror) after a delay time of 250 μs.

[0177] CDK Kinase Assay

[0178] 1. Preparation of Recombinant Cyclin-CDK Enzymes

[0179] The corresponding cDNAs for human cyclin B1 (cyclin E, or. cyclin D1) and human CDK1 (CDK2, or. CDK4) are cloned by standard methods using RT-PCR, and cloned into a transfer vector (cyclin in pAcG2T made by Pharmingen, CDKs in p2Bac made by Invitrogen) for the baculovirus system. Recombinant cyclin B1-CDK1 (or cyclin E-CDK2, cyclin D1-CDK4) is expressed in High Five insect cells (Trichoplusia ni) by coinfection with both recombinant baculoviruses (after the 4th round of amplification, >1×108 viruses/ml). 72 h after the infection the High Five cells are harvested, and deep-frozen in liquid nitrogen. After thawing the cells are resuspended in lysing buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 5 μg/ml leupeptin, 5 μg/ml aprotinin, 100 μM NaF, 100 μM PMSF, 10 mM β-glycerolphosphate, 100 μM Na3VO4, 30 mM nitrophenylphosphate, 17.5 ml of lysing buffer per 108 cells) and incubated on ice for 30 min. The cell lysate is freed from the cell debris by centrifugation and the quantity of recombinant cyclin B1-CDK1 enzyme (or cyclin E-CDK2, cyclin D1-CDK4) in the total lysate (about 1-5 mg/ml) is determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Cyclin D1-CDK4 is purified by means of a GST-tag on cyclin D1 and then using glutathione beads (total protein about 0.2 mg/ml).

[0180] 2. Cyclin B1-CDK1 Kinase Inhibition Test

[0181] All the kinase tests may be carried out in 96-well microtitre plates (Greiner PS) in a final volume of 60 μl. The kinase test contain 1% DMSO (v/v), 5 μg of histone H1 (calf thymus, Roche Molecular Biochemicals), 1 to 5 μg of a cell lysate with recombinant cyclin B1/CDK1, the test substance (in a final concentration of 1 nM to 10 μM) and kinase buffer (15 mM MgCl2, 25 mM MOPS, pH 7.0, 0.1 mM DTT). As a negative control the kinase reaction is carried out in the absence of the substrate histone H1. As a positive control the kinase reaction is carried out in the absence of a test substance. As an internal control 30 μM and 300 μM (final concentration) of the kinase inhibitor olomoucin (Alexis) are used.

[0182] The PS microtitre plates are placed on ice, and 10 μl of the test substance, in different concentrations (in each case in 6% DMSO), 20 μl of the histone H1 (250 μg/ml in kinase buffer) and 20 μl of cyclin B1/CDK1 (1 to 5 μg of the recombinant cell lysate in 20 μl of kinase buffer) are pipetted in and mixed together. The kinase reaction is started by the addition of 10 μl of ATP mix (0.045 mM ATP, 0.5 μCi [γ-33P]ATP in kinase buffer) and incubated for 30 min at 30° C. and 600 rpm in a shaking incubator. After incubation the plates are placed on ice and the proteins are precipitated by the addition of 125 μl of ice-cold 5% trichloroacetic acid. After 15 min on ice the precipitates are transferred onto Packard Unifilter 96 GF/B plates with the Packard Harvester System, and collected by vacuum filtration. The precipitates are washed 4 times with dist. H2O at ambient temperature. The filter plates are then dried at 60° C. and 50 μl of scintillation liquid are added to each well (Ultima Gold, Packard). The plate is sealed up with Sealing Tape and after 1 h measured in a scintillation measuring apparatus (Micro Beta made by Wallac).

[0183] The inhibition of the substances is calculated as a percentage of the control (cyclin B1-CDK1 without inhibitor) and the active substance concentration which inhibits the enzyme activity by 50% (IC50) is derived.

[0184] 3. Cyclin E-CDK2 Kinase Inhibition Test

[0185] The inhibition test with cyclin E-CDK2 is carried out using the same method as for cyclin B1-CDK1, except that recombinant cyclin E-CDK2 is used as the enzyme.

[0186] 4. Cyclin D1-CDK4 Kinase Inhibition Test

[0187] For the inhibition test with cyclin D1-CDK4, recombinant Retinoblastoma Protein (pRB) from aa379-928, which contains a GST-tag at the N-terminus, is used as the substrate. GST-pRB is expressed in bacteria and then purified using glutathione beads ( about 0.2 mg/ml). The kinase test contains 1% DMSO (v/v), 10 μg pRB, 0.4 μg of a cell lysate with recombinant cyclin D1-CDK4, the test substance (final concentration from 1 nM to 10 μM) and kinase buffer (15 mM MgCl2, 25 mM MOPS, pH 7.0, 0.1 mM DTT). As a negative control the kinase reaction is carried out in the absence of the substrate pRB. As a positive control the kinase reaction is carried out in the absence of a test substance. As an internal control 30 μM and 300 μM (final concentration) of the kinase inhibitor olomoucin (Alexis) are used.

[0188] The PS microtitre plates are placed on ice, and 10 μl of the test substance, in different concentrations (in each case in 6% DMSO), 20 μl of pRB (10 μg in kinase buffer) and 20 μl of cyclin D1-CDK4 (0.4 μg of the recombinant cell lysate in 20 μl of kinase buffer) are pipetted in and mixed together. The kinase reaction is started by the addition of 10 μl of ATP mix (0.045 mM ATP, 1 μCi [γ-33P]ATP in kinase buffer) and incubated for 45 min at 32° C. and 600 rpm in a vibrating incubator. After incubation, 50 μl of the reaction mixture are pipetted onto P81 filters (Whatmann). After 20 sec reaction time the filters are washed 4 times with 1.5% phosphoric acid (about 5 min per washing step) while shaking them gently. After washing the filters are dried at 85° C., scintillation liquid is added and the scintillation is measured in a scintillation counter (Micro Beta made by Wallac).

Methods of Therapeutic Use

[0189] The compounds of the invention are effective inhibitors of PKC-theta activity, and therefore are useful to inhibit PKC-theta activity in a patient and treat a variety of diseases and disorders that are mediated or sustained through the activity of PKC-theta.

[0190] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the compounds of this invention would be expected to inhibit T cell activation via effective inhibition of PKC-theta, and are therefore useful to treat diseases and disorders associated with T cell activation. For example, the inhibition of T cell activation is therapeutically useful for selectively suppressing the immune function. Thus, the inhibition of PKC-theta with the compounds of this invention is an attractive means for treating a variety of immunological disorders, including inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, organ and bone marrow transplant rejection and other disorders associated with T cell mediated immune response. In particular, the compounds of the invention may be used to treat acute or chronic inflammation, allergies, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, graft versus host disease (and other forms of organ or bone marrow transplant rejection) and lupus erythematosus. Other disorders associated with T cell-mediated immune responses will be evident to those of ordinary skill in the art and can also be treated with the compounds and compositions of this invention.

[0191] In addition, PKC theta activation has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Therefore, the inhibition of PKC-theta with the compounds of this invention is also an attractive means for treating type II diabetes.

Advantageously, the compounds may then be administered together in a single dosage form. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprising such combinations of compounds contain at least about 5%, but more preferably at least about 20%, of a compound of formula (I) (w/w) or a combination thereof. The optimum percentage (w/w) of a compound of the invention may vary and is within the purview of those skilled in the art. Alternatively, the compounds of the present invention and the conventional therapeutics or other adjuvants may be administered separately (either serially or in parallel). Separate dosing allows for greater flexibility in the dosing regime.

[0194] As mentioned above, dosage forms of the compounds of this invention may include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and adjuvants known to those of ordinary skill in the art and suitable to the dosage form. These carriers and adjuvants include, for example, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, buffer substances, water, salts or electrolytes and cellulose-based substances. Preferred dosage forms include tablet, capsule, caplet, liquid, solution, suspension, emulsion, lozenges, syrup, reconstitutable powder, granule, suppository and transdermal patch. Methods for preparing such dosage forms are known (see, for example, H. C. Ansel and N. G. Popovish, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, 5th ed., Lea and Febiger (1990)). Dosage levels and requirements for the compounds of the present invention may be selected by those of ordinary skill in the art from available methods and techniques suitable for a particular patient. In some embodiments, dosage levels range from about 1-1000 mg/dose for a 70 kg patient. Although one dose per day may be sufficient, up to 5 doses per day may be given. For oral doses, up to 2000 mg/day may be required. As the skilled artisan will appreciate, lower or higher doses may be required depending on particular factors. For instance, specific dosage and treatment regimens will depend on factors such as the patient's general health profile, the severity and course of the patient's disorder or disposition thereto, and the judgment of the treating physician.
