1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to quinoline derivatives and quinazoline derivatives which have antitumor activity. More particularly, the present invention relates to quinoline derivatives and quinazoline derivatives which have inhibitory activity against the autophosphorylation of fibroblast growth factor receptors and have inhibitory activity against abnormal cell proliferation.
2. Background Art
Growth factors such as epithelial growth factors, platelet-derived growth factors, insulin-like growth factors, and basic fibroblast growth factors (hereinafter abbreviated to “bFGF”) play an important role in cell proliferation. Among others, bFGF is known to accelerate cell proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, fibloblasts and the like, and is also known to be involved in angiogenesis and wound healing (Trends. Pharmacol. Sci. April; 22 (4): 201-7, 2001).
Further, the expression of bFGF, or FGFR1 (hereinafter referred to as “Flg”), FGFR2 (hereinafter referred to as “Bek”) and the like belonging to a fibroblast growth factor receptor family is reported to be found in various cancers such as brain tumors, lung cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, and prostatic cancer (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87: 5710-5714, 1990 Oncogene. 1997 August 14; 15 (7): 817-26 Cancer Res. 1994 January 15; 54 (2): 523-30. Cancer Res. 1992 February 1; 52 (3): 571-7). In particular, it is reported for gastric cancer that overexpression of Bek correlates with poor prognosis mainly in poorly differentiated cancers such as scirrhus gastric cancers (Clin Cancer Res. 1996 August; 2 (8): 1373-81. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2001 April; 127 (4): 207-16. Int Rev Cytol. 2001; 204: 49-95.).
There is a plurality of reports on small molecule compounds having inhibitory activity against the autophosphorylation of Flg (J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 1998 July; 286 (1): 569-77. Invest New Drugs. 1999; 17 (2): 121-35. Cancer Res. 2001 Feb. 15; 61 (4): 1464-8.). On the other hand, there is no report on compounds capable of inhibiting the autophosphorylation of Bek which is considered to be deeply involved in the progression of gastric cancer.
The present inventors have found that a certain group of quinoline derivatives and quinazoline derivatives have Bek-autophosphorylation inhibitory activity and, at the same time, have antitumor effect.
An object of the present invention is to provide compounds having potent antitumor activity, more specifically novel compounds which have inhibitory activity against the autophosphorylation of members of an FGF receptor family including Bek and, when orally or intraveneously administered, can suppress the growth of cancer cells.

Production of Compounds
Compounds according to the present invention may be produced, for example, according to schemes 1 to 14. Starting compounds necessary for the synthesis of the compounds according to the present invention are commercially available or alternatively can be easily produced by conventional methods. In the schemes, R1 to R10 are as defined in formula (I).
For example, a 4-chloroquinoline derivative can be synthesized by a conventional method as described, for example, in Org. Synth. Col. Vol. 3, 272 (1955), Acta Chim. Hung., 112, 241 (1983), or WO 98/47873. Scheme 1 shows an example of the synthesis of the 4-chloroquinoline derivative. A quinolone derivative is produced by reacting a 2-aminoacetophenone derivative with a formic ester, for example, ethyl formate, in a suitable solvent, for example, tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of a base, for example, sodium methoxide. The 4-chloroquinoline derivative is produced by reacting the quinolone derivative in the presence of a chlorinating agent, for example, phosphorus oxychloride.
For example, a 4-chloroquinazoline derivative can be produced as follows. A quinazolone derivative is produced by reacting a 2-amino-benzoate acid derivative with formamide in a suitable solvent, for example, a mixed solvent composed of N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol, in the presence of a base, for example, sodium methoxide. The 4-chloroquinazoline derivative is produced by reacting the quinazolone derivative in the presence of a chlorinating agent, for example, phosphorus oxychloride.
A 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative is produced by reacting a nitrophenol derivative with the 4-chloroquinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent, for example, chlorobenzene, to synthesize a 4-(nitrophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative and then reacting the 4-(nitrophenoxy)quinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent, for example, N,N-dimethyl formamide, in the presence of a catalyst, for example, palladium hydroxide-carbon or palladium-carbon, under a hydrogen atmosphere. The nitro group can also be reduced with zinc, iron or the like.
Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative can be produced by reacting an aminophenol derivative with the 4-chloroquinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride. Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinazoline derivative can also be produced by dissolving an aminophenol derivative in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subjecting the solution to a two-phase reaction with a solution of the 4-chloroquinazoline derivative in a suitable organic solvent, for example, ethyl methyl ketone, in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, for example, tetra-n-butylammonium chloride, or in the absence of the catalyst.
The corresponding aniline derivative can be produced by subjecting an anilino group in a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a quinazoline derivative to arylation under suitable conditions (e.g., mixed solvent in the presence of copper(II) acetate) or alkylation under suitable conditions (e.g., condensing the anilino group with a ketone derivative in N,N-dimethylformamide and then reacting the condensate with sodium borohydride acetate).
A quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative having a hydroxyl group at its 6- or 7-position can be produced by dissolving a 6,7-dimethoxy-4-(nitrophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent (for example, chloroform) and heating the solution under reflux in the presence of a suitable Lewis acid (for example, aluminum trichloride). A 4-(nitrophenoxy)quinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative containing a specific substituent introduced at its 6- or 7-position can be produced by introducing a desired substituent into the introduced hydroxyl group, or by protecting the hydroxyl group with a protective group. The hydroxyl group can be protected by reacting an unpurified solid of the derivative with benzyl chloride in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate and then conducting separation and purification.
A 4-(hydroxyphenoxy)quinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative is produced by reacting a phenol derivative with the 4-chloroquinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent, for example, chlorobenzene, to synthesize a 4-phenoxyquinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative and then removing the protective group of the hydroxyl group under suitable conditions (for example, when the protective group is benzyl, for example, a reaction is allowed to proceed in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of palladium hydroxide-carbon or palladium-carbon in a hydrogen atmosphere). A corresponding ether derivative is produced by subjecting a hydroxy group in the 4-(hydroxyphenoxy)quinoline derivative or quinazoline derivative to arylation under suitable conditions (e.g., reacting the hydroxy group with an aryl borate derivative in a chloroform-triethylamine mixed solvent in the presence of copper(II) acetate) or alkylation under suitable conditions (e.g., reacting the hydroxy group with an alkyl halide in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of potassium carbonate.
A corresponding ketone derivative is produced by reacting an acylphenol derivative with a 4-chloroquinoline derivative or a corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent (for example, chlorobenzene). A corresponding methylene derivative is produced by reducing the carbonyl group in the ketone derivative under suitable conditions. The acylphenol derivative is commercially available or can easily be produced by a conventional method. For example, an acyl-containing phenol derivative is produced by reacting a phenol derivative containing a protective hydroxyl group with an acid chloride derivative in a suitable solvent (for example, nitromethane) in the presence of a Lewis acid (for example, ytterbium(III) triflate), and a corresponding acylphenol derivative is produced by further removing the protective group of the hydroxyl group under suitable conditions.
For example, an intermediate for synthesizing a derivative having a specific substituent at the 7-position of the quinoline ring can be produced according to scheme 5. A nitro group can be introduced by protecting a commercially available 4′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative with a suitable substituent, for example, benzyl, and then reacting the protected 4′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative with a nitrating agent, for example, fuming nitric acid-acetic acid. The later steps of scheme 5 are carried out as shown in scheme 1. Specifically, the nitro group is reduced to an amino group which is then reacted with a formic ester in the presence of a base to give a quinolone ring. Next, the quinolone ring is reacted with a chlorinating agent to give a 4-chloroquinoline derivative. In the chlorination reaction, when phosphorus oxychloride is used as the chlorinating agent, the yield can be improved by adding a base, for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine.
An intermediate for synthesizing a derivative having a specific substituent at the 6-position of the quinoline ring can be produced by using a 3′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative instead of the 4′-hydroxyacetophenone derivative.
For example, an intermediate for synthesizing a derivative having a specific substituent at the 7-position of the quinazoline ring can be produced according to scheme 6. A nitro group can be introduced by protecting a hydroxyl group in a commercially available 4′-hydroxybezoic ester derivative with a suitable substituent, for example, benzyl, and then reacting the product with a nitrating agent, for example, fuming nitric acid-acetic acid. The later steps of scheme 6 are carried out as shown in scheme 1. Specifically, a quinazolone ring is formed by reducing the nitro group to an amino group and then reacting the product with formamide in the presence of a base. Next, a 4-chloroquinazoline derivative can be produced by reacting the product with a chlorinating agent. In the chlorination reaction, when phosphorus oxychloride is used as a chlorinating agent, the addition of a base, for example, N,N-diisopropylethylamine can improve the yield.

The nitro group can also be reduced with zinc, iron or the like. Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative may be produced by reacting an aminophenol derivative with the 4-chloroquinoline derivative or corresponding quinazoline derivative in a suitable solvent, for example, dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence of a base, for example, sodium hydride. Alternatively, the 4-(aminophenoxy)quinazoline derivative may also be produced by dissolving an aminophenol derivative in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and subjecting the solution to a two-phase reaction with a solution of the 4-chloroquinazoline derivative in a suitable organic solvent, for example, ethyl methyl ketone, in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, for example, tetra-n-butylammonium chloride, or in the absence of the catalyst. A corresponding aniline derivative, in which the hydroxyl group at the 7-position of quinoline or quinazoline has been protected, is produced by subjecting an anilino group in a 4-(aminophenoxy)quinoline derivative or a quinazoline derivative to arylation under suitable conditions (e.g., reacting the anilino group with an aryl borate derivative in a chloroform-triethylamine mixed solvent in the presence of copper(II) acetate) or alkylation under suitable conditions (e.g., condensing the anilino group with a ketone derivative in N,N-dimethylformamide and then reacting the condensate with sodium borohydride acetate). A 7-hydroxyquinoline derivative or a corresponding 7-hydroxyquinazoline derivative is produced by removing the protective group of the hydroxyl group in the aniline derivative under suitable conditions (for example, when the protective group is benzyl, for example, a reaction is allowed to proceed in N,N-dimethylformamide in the presence of palladium hydroxide-carbon or palladium-carbon in a hydrogen atmosphere).

Human scirrhus stomach cancer cells OCUM-2MD3 (kindly provided by Dr. Kosei Hirakawa, Osaka City University) were cultured in an RPMI medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (purchased from ICN) within a 5% carbon dioxide incubator until 50 to 90% confluent. The harvested cells were seeded onto 96-well flat-bottom plate in RPMI containing 0.1% fetal calf serum at 3.5×104 cells per well, followed by cultivation at 37° C. overnight. A solution of the test compound in dimethyl sulfoxide was added to each well, and the cultivation was continued at 37° C. for additional one hr. The medium was removed, and 50 μl of lysis buffer (20 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.2% Triton X-100, 10% glycerol, 5 mM sodium orthovanadylate, 5 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, and 2 mM Na4P2O7) was then added thereto. The mixture was shaken at 4° C. for 2 hr to prepare cell extracts.
Separately, phosphate buffered saline (50 μl, pH 7.4) containing 5 g/ml of anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody (PY20; purchased from Transduction Laboratories) was added to a microplate for ELISA (Maxisorp; purchased from NUNC), followed by standing at 4° C. overnight to form a solid phase on the wells. After washing of the plate, 300 μl of a blocking solution was added, followed by standing at room temperature for 2 hr to perform blocking. After washing, the whole quantity of the cell extracts was transferred to the wells, and the plate was then allowed to stand at 4° C. overnight. After washing, an anti-Bek antibody (Bek (C-17), purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or Anti-Human K-sam Rabbit IgG Affinity Purity (purchased from IBL Co., Ltd.) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr, and, after washing, a peroxidase-labeled anti-rabbit Ig antibody (purchased from Amersham) was allowed to react at room temperature for one hr. After washing, a chromophoric substrate for peroxidase (purchased from Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was added thereto to initiate a reaction. After a suitable level of color development, a reaction termination solution was added to stop the reaction, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader. The Bek-phosphorylation activity for each well was determined by presuming the absorbance without the addition of the medicament to be 100% Bek-phosphorylation activity and the absorbance with the addition of a large excess of a positive control (N-{4-[(6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinolyl)oxy]phenyl}-N′-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)urea, 1000 nM) to be 0% Bek-phosphorylation activity. The concentration of the test compound was varied on several levels, the Bek-phosphorylation inhibitory activity was determined for each case, and the concentration of the test compound necessary for inhibiting 50% of Bek-phosphorylation (IC50) was calculated. The results were as shown in Table 1.
Human gastric cancer cells (OCUM-2MD3) (kindly provided by Dr. Kosei Hirakawa, Osaka City University) were transplanted into nude mice. When the tumor volume became about 100 to 200 mm3, the mice were grouped so that the groups each consisted of four mice and had an even average tumor volume. The test compound suspended in 0.5% methylcellulose was orally administered every day twice a day for 5 days (except for the first day on which the suspension was administered once a day).
Only 0.5% methylcellulose was administered to the control group in the manner as in the test groups. The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGIR) was calculated as follows: The tumor growth inhibition rate (TGIR)=(1−TX/CX)×100 wherein CX represents the volume of tumor at day X for the control group when the tumor volume at the day of the start of the administration was presumed to be 1; and TX represents the volume of tumor for test compound administration groups.
The tumor growth inhibition rate for representative examples of a group of compounds according to the present invention is shown in Table 2.
Tumor growth inhibitory activity was measured in the same manner as in Pharmacological Test Example 2, except that oral administration was carried out once a day or twice a day (except for the first day on which the suspension was administered once a day).
The tumor growth inhibition rate for representative examples of a group of compounds according to the present invention is shown in Table 3.
