The invention relates to novel pyrrolotriazine compounds that are useful as anti-cancer agents. This invention also relates to a method of using the compounds in the treatment of proliferative and other diseases and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds.
The invention relates to compounds which inhibit tyrosine kinase enzymes, compositions which contain tyrosine kinase inhibiting compounds and methods of using inhibitors of tyrosine kinase enzymes to treat diseases which are characterized by an overexpression or upregulation of tyrosine kinase activity such as cancer, diabetes, restenosis, arteriosclerosis, psoriasis, Alzheimer's disease, angiogenic diseases and immunologic disorders (Powis, G.; Workman P. Signaling Targets For The Development of Cancer Drugs. Anti-Cancer Drug Design (1994), 9: 263-277; Merenmies, J.; Parada, L. F.; Henkemeyer, M. Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Signaling in Vascular Development. Cell Growth Differ (1997) 8: 3-10; Shawver, L. K.; Lipsosn, K. E.; Fong, T. A. T.; McMahon, G.; Plowman, G. D.; Strawn, L. M. Receptor Tyrosine Kinases As Targets For Inhibition of Angiogenesis. Drug Discovery Today (1997) 2: 50-63; all herein incorporated by reference).
Tyrosine kinases play a critical role in signal transduction for several cellular functions including cell proliferation, carcinogenesis, apoptosis, and cell differentiation. Inhibitors of these enzymes are useful for the treatment or prevention of proliferative diseases which are dependent on these enzymes. Strong epidemiologic evidence suggests that the overexpression or activation of receptor protein tyrosine kinases leading to constitutive mitogenic signaling is an important factor in a growing number of human malignancies. Tyrosine kinases that have been implicated in these processes include Abl, CDKs, EGF, EMT, FGF, FAK, Flk-1/KDR, Flt-3, GSK-3, GSKbeta-3, HER-2, IGF-1R, IR, Jak2, LCK, MET, PDGF, Src, Tie-2, TrkA, TrkB and VEGF. Hence, there is an ongoing need to investigate novel compounds that can be used to regulate or inhibit tyrosine kinase enzymes.
The invention is directed to compounds having Formula I that inhibit tyrosine kinase enzymes for the treatment of cancer.
Furthermore, the invention is directed to methods for treating a condition associated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitor comprising administering to a mammal in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I and optionally one or more other anticancer agent.
The invention also provides methods for treating cancer using the compounds of the invention either alone or together with one or more other anticancer agent.
The invention provides for compounds of formula I, pharmaceutical compositions employing such compounds and for methods of using such compounds.

As stated above, the formula I compounds of the invention are of interest for their antiproliferative effects. Such compounds of the invention are expected to be useful in a wide range of disease states including cancer, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
More specifically, the compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including (but not limited to) the following:
carcinoma, including that of the prostate, pancreatic ductal adreno-carcinoma, breast, colon, lung, ovary, pancreas, and thyroid;
tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, including neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, and medulloblastoma; and
other tumors, including melanoma and multiple myeloma.
Due to the key role of kinases in the regulation of cellular proliferation in general, inhibitors could act as reversible cytostatic agents which may be useful in the treatment of any disease process which features abnormal cellular proliferation, e.g., benign prostate hyperplasia, familial adenomatosis polyposis, neuro-fibromatosis, pulmonary fibrosis, arthritis, psoriasis, glomerulonephritis, restenosis following angioplasty or vascular surgery, hypertrophic scar formation and inflammatory bowel disease.
The compounds of formula I are especially useful in treatment of tumors having a high incidence of tyrosine kinase activity, such as prostate, colon, brain, thyroid and pancreatic tumors. Additionally, the compounds of the invention may be useful in treatment of sarcomas and pediatric sarcomas. By the administration of a composition (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, development of tumors in a mammalian host is reduced.
Compounds of formula I may also be useful in the treatment of other cancerous diseases (such as acute myelogenous leukemia) that may be associated with signal transduction pathways operating through kinases such as Flt-3 (Fme-like kinase-3), Tie-2, CDK2, VEGFR, FGFR and IGFR kinases.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention 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.
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 gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of sterile injectable aqueous solutions. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution.
The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable oil-in-water microemulsion where the active ingredient is dissolved in the oily phase. For example, the active ingredient may be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulation.
The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound. In order to maintain such a constant concentration, a continuous intravenous delivery device may be utilized. An example of such a device is the Deltec CADD-PLUS™ Model 5400 intravenous pump.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. 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.
When a compound according to this invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, sex and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms.
If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent or treatment within its approved dosage range. Compounds of formula I may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of formula I may be administered either prior to or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent(s).
The compounds may be administered in a dosage range of about 0.05 to 200 mg/kg/day, preferably less than 100 mg/kg/day, in a single dose or in 2 to 4 divided doses.

P. IGF-1R Sal Tumor Model
A salivary gland adenocarcinoma that developed spontaneously in a transgenic mouse (MCI-19) was excised and cut into fragments of about 20 mg. Tumor fragments were implanted s.c. into the ventral thoracic region of a group of six female, athymic BALB/c nu/nu mice (Harley Sprague-Dawley, Indianapolis, Ind.), using a 13-gauge trocar. Once established, the salivary gland-derived tumor line was designated IGF1R-Sal and was propagated as a tumor xenograft in nude mice. Tumors were passaged every 2 weeks, at which time the tumor reached f500 to 1,000 mm3 in size. For treatment studies, nude micebearing IGF1R-Sal tumors of about 100 mm3 in size were sorted into groups of five for treatment with vehicle (80% polyethylene glycol 400 in water) alone or the test article. Compounds were administered either on a bid schedule (oral doses 8 hours apart) or on a once a day schedule orally (qd) for 4 consecutive days. Tumors were measured at the start and end of treatment. Activity was measured as % tumor growth inhibition (% TGI). The % TGI was determined using the following formula (Ct−Tt)/(Ct−Co) where Ct is defined as the median tumor size of the control group at the end of treatment, Co is defined as the median tumor size of the control group at the start of treatment, and Tt is defined as the median tumor size of the treated group at the end of treatment.
Compounds described herein were tested in the above assay. The following results were obtained.
In general, the compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared in accordance with Scheme I and the general knowledge of one skilled in the art. Tautomers and solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of Formula (I) are also within the scope of the invention. Methods of salvation are generally known in the art. Accordingly, the compounds of the instant invention can be in the free or hydrate form, and can be obtained by methods exemplified in the following Schemes.
Step 1
Compound II can be prepared by heating a mixture of the appropriately substituted 1-amino-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamide with a reagent, such as, for example, ethyl chloroformate and an appropriate base, such as, for example, pyridine in a solvent, such as, for example, dioxane. The resulting pyrrolotriazine-2,4-dione II can then be heated with a halogenating agent, such as, for example, phosphorus oxychloride (X═Cl) or phosphorus oxybromide (X═Br) in the presence of a base, such as for example, diisopropylethylamine to give compound III.
Step 2
Compound V is produced by treating compound III with an appropriately substituted amino compound IV in the presence of a base, such as, for example, diisopropylethylamine in a solvent, such as, for example, isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively, transition metal catalyzed methods for introduction of the amino compound IV could also be envisioned.
Step 3
Compound VII is obtained by heating compound V with an appropriately functionalized proline VI and bases, such as, for example aqueous sodium hydroxide or potassium tertiary butoxide in organic solvents such as, for example, dioxane or N-methylpyrrolidinone at elevated temperatures or in a microwave reactor. Alternatively, transition metal catalyzed methods for introduction of the amino compound VI could also be envisioned in combination with heat.
Step 4
Compound I is obtained by coupling acid VII with an amine VIII using reagents that form amide bonds such as, for example, (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate and a base, such as, for example, diisopropylethylamine in a solvent such as, for example, dimethylformamide. Another method involves treating compound VII with two or more equivalents of an acid chloride such as, for example, pivaloyl chloride in the presence of two or more equivalents of a base such as diisopropylethylamine in a solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidinone to generate a mixture of intermediates that will react with the alkali metal salt of an aryl or heteroaryl amine to give compound I. The latter alkali metal salt can be generated by reaction of an aryl or heteroaryl amine and an alkyl metal such as, for example, methyl or isopropyl magnesium chloride. A third method, consists of converting the acid to an alkyl ester and reacting said ester with alkali metal salt of an aryl or heteroaryl amine to give compound I. In those examples where R6 is a hydroxyl group capable of forming a lactone with the acid carbonyl, such a lactone could be formed using any number of reagents known in the art to promote lactonization, such as 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate and 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride. This lactone could then be converted to a hydroxyl amide by reacting the lactone with alkali metal salt of an aryl or heteroaryl amine to give compound I. Other amide bond forming reactions could be used and are well know in the art, see for example: “Principles of Peptide Synthesis,” M. Bodanszky, 2nd Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1993 and S.-Y. Han and Y.-A. Kim, Tetrahedron, 2004, volume 60, page 2447.
Compound I (V of Scheme 1) is heated directly with the substituted pyrrolidine carboxamide II of Scheme 2 to give compound III (I of Scheme 1). Alternatively, transition metal catalyzed methods for introduction of the amino compound II could also be envisioned in combination with heat.
Step 1
A compound III of Scheme 1, wherein R1 is H, can be converted to the aldehyde II of Scheme 3 by heating with a Vilsmeier reagent, such as that generated from dimethylformamide and phosphorous oxychloride, followed by hydrolysis.
Step 2
Compound II of Scheme 3 is converted to compound IV by reaction with an appropriately substituted amino derivative III in the presence of a base, such as, for example, diisopropylethylamine in a solvent, such as, for example, isopropyl alcohol.
Step 3
Compound IV is reacted with an amino compound V in the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride and a catalyst such as acetic acid in a solvent such as 1,2-dichloroethane to give compound VI of Scheme 3.
Step 4
Compound VI is converted into compound VII using procedures analogous to those described in Scheme 1 or 2.
Step 1
A compound III of Scheme 1 wherein Q1R4 is a 5-pyrazolecarboxylic acid is converted to the 5-pyrazolecarboxamide III of Scheme 4 by treatment with amine II and reagents such as, for example, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole hydrate and 1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI) and a base, such as, for example, diisopropylethylamine in a solvent such as, for example, dimethylformamide or 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). Other amide bond forming reagents could be used and are well know in the art, see for example: “Principles of Peptide Synthesis,” M. Bodanszky, 2nd Edition, Springer-Verlag, 1993 and S.-Y. Han and Y.-A. Kim, Tetrahedron, 2004, volume 60, page 2447.
Step 2
Compound III of Scheme 4 is converted to compound IV using procedures analogous to those described in Scheme 1 or 2.

Waters X-Terra HPLC column, 4.6×150 mm, 3.5 micron, 1 mL/min flow rate, linear gradient from 95% A (95:5 Water:CH3CN, 10 mM NH4OAc, pH 6.8)/5% B (90:10 CH3CN:Water, 10 mM NH4OAc, pH 6.8) to 100% B over 15 min. UV detection was conducted at 254 nM.
Preparative Reverse Phase (RP) HPLC was performed using a Waters Atlantis 30×100 mm 5 micron column with linear gradient elution using the stated ratio of solvent A (10% Methanol—90% Water—0.1% TFA) and solvent B (90% Methanol—10% Water—0.1% TFA) over the stated time period (typically from 10-13 min). A typical example would have the linear gradient from 15% B (85% A) to 90% B (10% A) over 12 min. UV detection was conducted at 254 nM.
Several of the final products are isolated as their free bases by passing the appropriate fractions from the preparative HPLC purification (using the method described above) through a 1 gram (20 cc) or 6 gram (35 cc) Waters Oasis® MCX Extraction Cartridge.

The reaction is cooled to rt, treated with a cold solution of trifluoroacetic acid (800 μlit) in methanol (8 mL), and then purified by preparative HPLC (using 15% solvent B to 100% solvent B over 10 min). The desired fractions containing the product are concentrated to give 107 mg (41%) of the title compound as a solid (TFA salt) which is used directly as described below: MS: 370 (M+H)+, LC/MS ret. t=1.86 min.
The compound from Example 315 (46.6 mg, 0.096 mmol) is converted to the title compound of Example 316 (20 mg, 36%, TFA salt), using a procedure similar to that described in Example 271, except DMSO is used as the solvent instead of NMP and the preparative HPLC fractions are concentrated in vacuo: MS: 464 (M+H)+, LC/MS ret. t=2.84 min.
A magnetically stirred solution of the compound from Example 316 (20 mg, 0.035 mmol in DMSO (3 mL) is treated sequentially with 10 N aqueous sodium hydroxide (200 μlit), 30% hydrogen peroxide (200 μlit), water (400 μlit), and additional 30% hydrogen peroxide (200 μlit). The mixture is heated at 60° C. for 15 min, cooled, treated with a solution of glacial acetic acid (160 mg) in methanol (5 mL), and then purified by preparative HPLC (using 16% solvent B to 100% solvent B over 10 min). The desired fractions containing the product are concentrated to give 7.7 mg (37%) of the title compound as a solid (TFA salt): MS: 482 (M+H)+, LC/MS ret. t=2.43 min; HPLC (Method F) ret. t.=14.25 min.
(2S,4S)-4-Fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid hydrochloride (3.39 g, 20.0 mmol) was suspended in NMP (25 mL) to which was added 5 M NaOH (4.00 mL, 20.0 mmol), followed by DIPEA (1.92 mL, 11.0 mmol) and 2-chloro-N-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazin-4-amine (1.37 g, 5.00 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 135° C. for 3 d, and then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was diluted with water (500 mL) and washed with EtOAc (2×250 mL). The organic layers were discarded, and the aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 2-3 with 1 N HCl and extracted with EtOAc (2×250 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (250 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was shaken vigorously with water (500 mL), and a precipitate was removed by vacuum filtration. The solids were again vigorously shaken with water (150 mL) and dried via vacuum filtration to afford slightly impure 318A (974 mg, 52%). 318A had an analytical HPLC retention time=1.73 min (Waters XBridge 4.6×50 mm, 5-95% aqueous acetonitrile over 5 min containing 10 mM ammonium acetate) and a LC/MS M++1=372.
Slightly impure (2S,4S)-1-(4-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (900 mg, approx. 2.19 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (22 mL) and cooled to 0° C. Acetyl chloride (1.56 mL, 21.9 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred at 0° C. for several minutes before warming to room temperature. After 16 h, the reaction was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with EtOAc (300 mL) and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (300 mL), water (300 mL) and brine (150 mL). The organics were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The compound was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-50% 90:10:1 [CH2Cl2/MeOH/conc NH4OH]/CH2Cl2) to give 318B (564 mg, 66%). 318B had an analytical HPLC retention time=1.93 min (Waters XBridge 4.6×50 mm, 5-95% aqueous acetonitrile over 5 min containing 10 mM ammonium acetate) and a LC/MS M++1=386.
1,2,4-Thiadiazol-5-amine (656 mg, 6.49 mmol) was dissolved in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (30 mL) and cooled in an ice bath. Methylmagnesium bromide (3.0 M in diethyl ether, 2.16 mL, 6.49 mmol) was slowly added, and the mixture was stirred for 20 min. The reaction was warmed to room temperature, and (2S,4S)-methyl 1-(4-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamino)pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)-4-fluoropyrrolidine-2-carboxylate (250 mg, 0.649 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 h then cooled to room temperature. Water (200 mL) was added, and the reaction was extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (200 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Recrystallization from MeOH gave the title compound (90 mg, 30%), which had an analytical HPLC retention time=3.02 min (Phenomenex Luna 4.6×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous MeOH over 5 min containing 0.1% TFA) and a LC/MS M++1=455.
