Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the use of compounds to treat a variety of disorders, diseases and pathologic conditions and more specifically to the use of pyrimidine compounds to treat various disorders.


BACKGROUND

Protein kinases are families of enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of specific residues in proteins, and may be broadly classified into tyrosine or serine/threonine kinases based on the amino acids phosphorylated. This covalent post-translational modification is a pivotal component of normal cellular communication and maintenance of homeostasis. Tyrosine kinase signaling pathways normally prevent deregulated proliferation or contribute to sensitivity towards apoptotic stimuli. These signaling pathways are often genetically or epigenetically altered in cancer cells to impart a selection advantage to the cancer cells. Understandably therefore, aberrant enhanced signaling emanating from tyrosine kinase endows these enzymes a dominating oncoprotein status, resulting in the malfunctioning of the signaling network. Inappropriate kinase activity arising from mutation, over-expression, or inappropriate regulation, dys-regulation, mis-regulation or de-regulation, as well as over- or under-production of growth factors or cytokines has been implicated in many diseases, including but not limited too cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, metabolic disorders, and neurological and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. Inappropriate kinase activity triggers a variety of biological cellular responses relating to cell growth, cell differentiation, survival, apoptosis, mitogenesis, cell cycle control, and cell mobility implicated in the aforementioned diseases. Current evidence indicates that several distinct families of tyrosine kinases function in each of these responses and that additional complexity results from extensive cross-talk between different receptor pathways. One family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases capable of communicating with a large number of different receptors is the Src protein tyrosine kinase family. The c-Src proto-oncogene plays a major role in the development, growth, progression, and metastasis of a wide variety of human cancers. Src over-activation, in the form of elevated kinase activity and protein expression levels, has been demonstrated in several major cancer types, including colon, breast, pancreatic, lung, and brain carcinomas. Src kinase modulates signal transduction through multiple oncogenic pathways, including EGFR, Her2/neu, PDGFR, FGFR, and VEGFR. The prototype member of the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases was first identified as the transforming protein (v-Src) of the oncogenic retrovirus, Rous sarcoma virus. v-Src is a mutant variant of a cellular protein ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved through evolution. The structural and functional interactions between the Src family kinases and cellular receptors, and from Src family kinases on receptor-induced biological activities regulated by these kinases is quite profound.


Thus, it is anticipated that blocking signaling through the inhibition of the kinase activity of Src will be an effective means of modulating aberrant pathways. Gene knockout experiments suggest that inhibition of some members of the Src family might have potential therapeutic benefit.


c-Src is one of three members of the Src family expressed ubiquitously. c-Src is expressed at low levels in most cell types and, in the absence of the appropriate extra-cellular stimuli, maintained in an inactive conformation through phosphorylation of a regulatory tyrosine domain at Tyr530. Activation of c-Src occurs through de-phosphorylation of the Tyr530 site and phosphorylation of a second tyrosine, Tyr419, present in the kinase domain of the enzyme.


There exists a body of evidence of de-regulated or misregulated increased kinase activity of c-Src in several human tumor types, most notably colon and breast tumors. Misregulated c-Src TK activity has also been associated with adhesion and cytoskeletal changes both in tumor cells and otherwise, ultimately resulting in an invasive phenotype that may be motile. c-Src TK activity has been shown to be an important component in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition that occurs in the early stages of invasion of carcinoma cells. c-Src activity is also known to be essential in the turnover of local adhesions, a critical cell-motility component. In in vivo models of metastases, c-Src inhibition markedly reduces the rate of lymph and liver metastases. Clinical data supports the link between misregulated Src activity and the increased invasive potential of tumor cells. In colon tumors, increased c-Src TK activity has been shown to correlate to tumor progression, with the highest activity found in metastatic tissue. Increased Src activity in colon tumors might be an indicator of poor prognosis. In breast and ovarian cancers, enhancement of Src kinase activity has been reported, and in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, c-Src activity peaked as superficial tumors became muscle invasive.


Biochemically, cellular stimuli that lead to Src activation result in increased association between Src and the cytoskeleton. As a result, Src mediates the phosphorylation of many intracellular substrates such as EGFR, FAK, PYK2, paxillin, Stat3, and cyclin D. The biological effects of these interactions affect cell motility, adhesion, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis and might have some connection to the disease related effects stated above. Thus, Src plays a role in responses to regional hypoxia, limited nutrients, and internal cellular effects to self-destruct.


Increased c-Src TK activity results in breakdown of the E-cadherin-mediated epithelial cell-cell adhesion, which can be restored by Src inhibition. Intimate connections between increased VEGF activity, Src activity, and cellular barrier function related to vascular leak have been also demonstrated. Inhibition of Src results in decrease in vascular leak when exogenous VEGF is administered in in vivo studies. Examples where excessive vascular permeability leads to particularly deleterious effects include pulmonary edema, cerebral edema, and cardiac edema.


The cascade of events leading to loss of endothelial barrier function is complex and incompletely understood. Data support some role for kinases in this process. For example, VEGF-mediated edema has been shown to involve intracellular signaling by Src family kinases, protein kinase C, and Akt kinase. Rho-associated kinases have been linked to thrombin-mediated vascular leakage, and protein kinase C to TNF-induced leakage. Kinases are believed to mediate the phosphorylation of junctional proteins such as beta-catenin and vascular endothelial VE-cadherin, leading to the dissolution of adherens junctions and the dissociation of cadherin-catenin complexes from their cytoskeletal anchors. Proteins which regulate the intercellular contractile machinery such as myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and myosin light chain (MLC) are also activated, resulting in cellular contraction, and therefore an opening of intercellular junctions.


A general approach to the inhibition of vascular leakage can be to interfere with any of the underlying mechanistic pathways, whether by inhibition of kinase signaling or the intercellular contractile apparatus or other cellular processes. This can then lead to potential treatments for edema and its associated pathologies. For example, inhibiting edema formation should be beneficial to overall patient outcome in situations such as inflammation, allergic diseases, cancer, cerebral stroke, myocardial infarction, pulmonary and cardiac insufficiency, renal failure, and retinopathies, to name a few. Furthermore, as edema is a general consequence of tissue hypoxia, it can also be concluded that inhibition of vascular leakage represents a potential approach to the treatment of tissue hypoxia. For example, interruption of blood flow by pathologic conditions (such as thrombus formation) or medical intervention (such as cardioplegia, organ transplantation, and angioplasty) could be treated both acutely and prophylactically using inhibitors of vascular leakage, especially as in the case of Src inhibitors.


Since the activation and perhaps over-expression of Src has been implicated in cancer, osteoporosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular leak, among others, a small molecule inhibitor of c-Src can be beneficial for the treatment of several disease states.


SUMMARY

Pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salts include the base addition salts (formed with free carboxyl or other anionic groups) which may be derived from inorganic bases such as, for example, sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, or ferric hydroxides, and such organic bases as isopropylamine, trimethylamine, 2-ethylamino-ethanol, histidine, procaine, and the like. Such salts may also be formed as acid addition salts with any free cationic groups and will generally be formed with inorganic acids such as, for example, hydrochloric, sulfuric, or phosphoric acids, or organic acids such as acetic, citric, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic acid, oxalic, tartaric, mandelic, and the like. Salts of the invention include amine salts formed by the protonation of an amino group with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Salts of the invention also include amine salts formed by the protonation of an amino group with suitable organic acids, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, acetic acid, and the like. Additional excipients which are contemplated for use in the practice of the present invention are those available to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, those found in the United States Pharmacopeia Vol. XXII and National Formulary Vol. XVII, U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention, Inc., Rockville, Md. (1989), the relevant contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, polymorphs of the invention compounds are included in the present invention.

The pharmaceutical compositions for the administration of the compounds of this embodiment either alone or in combination with IL-2, immunotoxin, antibody or chemotherapeutic may conveniently be presented in dosage unit form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition the active object compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases. The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.


Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.


Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gel capsules, such as soft gelatin capsules, wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.


Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. Also useful as a solubilizer is polyethylene glycol, for example. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.


Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.


Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.


Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.


The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent or cosolvent or complexing agent or dispersing agent or excipient or combination thereof, for example 1,3-butanediol, polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols, ethanol or other alcohols, povidones, various brands of TWEEN surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium deoxycholate, dimethylacetamide, polysorbates, poloxamers, cyclodextrins, lipids, and excipients such as inorganic salts (e.g., sodium chloride), buffering agents (e.g., sodium citrate, sodium phosphate), and sugars (e.g., saccharose and dextrose). Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, dextrose solutions, Ringer's solutions and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.


Depending on the condition being treated, these pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated and administered systemically or locally. Techniques for formulation and administration may be found in the latest edition of “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences” (Mack Publishing Co, Easton Pa.). Suitable routes may, for example, include oral or transmucosal administration; as well as parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary, intrathecal, intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, or intranasal administration. For opthalmological applications, the pharmaceutical compositions can be administered to the back of the eye, intravitreally, or periocularly.


For injection, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks' solution, Ringer's solution, or physiologically buffered saline. For tissue or cellular administration, penetrants appropriate to the particular barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances that increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. For opthalmological applications, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated and administered in the form of eye-drops.


The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.


For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of the present invention are employed. (For purposes of this application, topical application shall include mouthwashes and gargles).

Testing of Kinase Inhibition

The ability of compounds of the present invention to inhibit the activity of three groups of kinases was tested. Kinases tested included the src family (primarily src and yes), the angiogenic growth factors receptors (FGFR1, PDGFRb and VEGFR2) and the ephrin, EphB4. All kinase reactions were conducted in 96-well plates with a final reaction volume of 50 ul.


Src Family


Recombinant human c-Src or Yes (28 ng/well, Panvera/Invitrogen, Madison Wis.), ATP (3 μM), a tyrosine kinase substrate (PTK2, 250 μM, Promega Corp., Madison Wis.), and test agents (at concentrations ranging from about 1 nM/l to about 100 μM/1), in the presence of Src kinase reaction buffer (Upstate USA, Lake Placid N.Y.). After reacting for about 90 minutes at room temperature, residual ATP was determined using a luciferase-based assay (KinaseGlo, Promega Corp.) as a measure of kinase activity. Data from four wells were then averaged and used to determine IC50 values for the test compounds (Prism software package, GraphPad Software, San Diego Calif.).


Growth Factor Receptors


PDGFRb (0.16 ug/well, Panvera/Invitrogen) 500 nM ATP and the PTK2 peptide (700 uM) were combined with compound and reaction buffer as noted above for src.
