Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit serine/threonine kinases and are useful for treating hyperproliferative and neoplastic diseases by inhibiting signal transduction pathways, which are commonly overactive or overexpressed in cancerous tissue. The present compounds are selective inhibitors of ERK (extracellular-signal regulated kinase). The present invention further relates to methods for treating cancer or hyperproliferative diseases with compounds of the present invention.


Description of the State of the Art


The processes involved in tumor growth, progression, and metastasis are mediated by signaling pathways that are activated in cancer cells. The ERK pathway plays a central role in regulating mammalian cell growth by relaying extracellular signals from ligand-bound cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase (“RTK's”), such as ErbB family, PDGF, FGF, and VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase. Activation of an RTK induces a cascade of phosphorylation events that begins with activation of Ras. Activation of Ras leads to the recruitment and activation of Raf, a serine-threonine kinase. Activated Raf then phosphorylates and activates MEK1/2, which then phosphorylates and activates ERK1/2. When activated, ERK1/2 phosphorylates several downstream targets involved in a multitude of cellular events, including cytoskeletal changes and transcriptional activation. The ERK/MAPK pathway is one of the most important for cell proliferation, and it is believed that the ERK/MAPK pathway is frequently activated in many tumors. Ras genes, which are upstream of ERK1/2, are mutated in several cancers, including colorectal, melanoma, breast and pancreatic tumors. The high Ras activity is accompanied by elevated ERK activity in many human tumors. In addition, mutations of BRAF, a serine-threonine kinase of the Raf family, are associated with increased kinase activity. Mutations in BRAF have been identified in melanomas (60%), thyroid cancers (greater than 40%) and colorectal cancers. These observations indicate that the ERK1/2 signaling pathway is an attractive pathway for anti-cancer therapies in a broad spectrum of human tumors (M. Hohno and J. Pouyssegur, Prog. in Cell Cycle Res. 2003 5:219).


The ERK pathway has also been cited as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of pain and inflammation (Ma, Weiya and Remi Quirion. “The ERK/MAPK pathway, as a target for the treatment of neuropathic pain.” Expert Opin. Ther. Targets. 9(4) (2005): pp. 699-713, and Sommer, Claudia and Frank Birklein. “Resolvins and inflammatory pain.” F1000 Medicine Reports. 3:19 (2011)).


International Patent Application Publications WO 2012/118850, WO 2013/020062 and WO 2013/130976 disclose ERK inhibitors.


Therefore, small-molecular inhibitors of ERK activity (i.e., ERK1 and/or ERK2 activity) would be useful for treating a broad spectrum of cancers, such as, for example, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer, as well as a treatment for pain and inflammation, such as arthritis, low back pain, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatism. Such a contribution is provided herein.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

There is a continuing need for new and novel therapeutic agents that can be used for cancer and hyperproliferative conditions. The Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is an important signaling pathway, which is frequently overexpressed and/or overactive in many cancerous tissues. Design and development of new pharmaceutical compounds is essential.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying structures and formulas. While enumerated embodiments will be described, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, which may be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims. One skilled in the art will recognize many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein, which could be used in the practice of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials described. In the event that one or more of the incorporated literature and similar materials differs from or contradicts this application, including but not limited to defined terms, term usage, described techniques, or the like, this application controls.


Definitions

The phrase “a” or “an” entity as used herein refers to one or more of that entity; for example, a compound refers to one or more compounds or at least one compound. As such, the terms “a” (or “an”), “one or more”, and “at least one” can be used interchangeably herein.


The phrase “as defined herein” refers to the broadest definition for each group as provided in the Detailed Description of the Invention or the broadest claim. In all other embodiments provided below, substituents that can be present in each embodiment, and which are not explicitly defined, retain the broadest definition provided in the Detailed Description of the Invention.


As used in this specification, whether in a transitional phrase or in the body of the claim, the terms “comprise(s)” and “comprising” are to be interpreted as having an open-ended meaning. That is, the terms are to be interpreted synonymously with the phrases “having at least” or “including at least”. When used in the context of a process, the term “comprising” means that the process includes at least the recited steps, but may include additional steps. When used in the context of a compound or composition, the term “comprising” means that the compound or composition includes at least the recited features or components, but may also include additional features or components. Additionally, the words “include,” “including,” and “includes” when used in this specification and in the following claims are intended to specify the presence of stated features, integers, components, or steps, but they do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, components, steps, or groups thereof.


The term “independently” is used herein to indicate that a variable is applied in any one instance without regard to the presence or absence of a variable having that same or a different definition within the same compound. Thus, in a compound in which R″ appears twice and is defined as “independently carbon or nitrogen”, both R″s can be carbon, both R″s can be nitrogen, or one R″ can be carbon and the other nitrogen.


When any variable (e.g., R1, R4a, Ar, X1 or Het) occurs more than one time in any moiety or formula depicting and describing compounds employed or claimed in the present invention, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such compounds result in stable compounds.


The term “optional” or “optionally” as used herein means that a subsequently described event or circumstance may, but need not, occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted” means that the optionally substituted moiety may incorporate a hydrogen or a substituent.


The term “about” is used herein to mean approximately, in the region of, roughly, or around. When the term “about” is used in conjunction with a numerical range, it modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth. In general, the term “about” is used herein to modify a numerical value above and below the stated value by a variance of 20%.


As used herein, the recitation of a numerical range for a variable is intended to convey that the invention may be practiced with the variable equal to any of the values within that range. Thus, for a variable that is inherently discrete, the variable can be equal to any integer value of the numerical range, including the end-points of the range. Similarly, for a variable that is inherently continuous, the variable can be equal to any real value of the numerical range, including the end-points of the range. As an example, a variable that is described as having values between 0 and 2, can be 0, 1 or 2 for variables that are inherently discrete, and can be 0.0, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, or any other real value for variables that are inherently continuous.


Certain compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX or X may exhibit tautomerism. Tautomeric compounds can exist as two or more interconvertable species. Prototropic tautomers result from the migration of a covalently bonded hydrogen atom between two atoms. Tautomers generally exist in equilibrium and attempts to isolate an individual tautomers usually produce a mixture whose chemical and physical properties are consistent with a mixture of compounds. The position of the equilibrium is dependent on chemical features within the molecule. For example, in many aliphatic aldehydes and ketones, such as acetaldehyde, the keto form predominates; while in phenols, the enol form predominates. Common prototropic tautomers include keto/enol (—C(═O)—CH2-custom character-C(—OH)═CH—), amide/imidic acid (—C(═O)—NH-custom character-C(—OH)═N—) and amidine (—C(═NR)—NH-custom character-C(—NHR)═N—) tautomers. The latter two are particularly common in heteroaryl and heterocyclic rings, and the present invention encompasses all tautomeric forms of the compounds.


It will be appreciated by the skilled artisan that some of the compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX or X may contain one or more chiral centers and therefore exist in two or more stereoisomeric forms. The racemates of these isomers, the individual isomers and mixtures enriched in one enantiomer, as well as diastereomers when there are two chiral centers, and mixtures partially enriched with specific diastereomers are within the scope of the present invention. The present invention includes all the individual stereoisomers (e.g., enantiomers), racemic mixtures or partially resolved mixtures of the compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX or X and, where appropriate, the individual tautomeric forms thereof.


The compounds of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX or X may contain a basic center and suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids that form non-toxic salts. Examples of salts of inorganic acids include the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, bisulfate, nitrate, phosphate, and hydrogen phosphate. Examples of salts of organic acids include acetate, fumarate, pamoate, aspartate, besylate, carbonate, bicarbonate, camsylate, D and L-lactate, D and L-tartrate, esylate, mesylate, malonate, orotate, gluceptate, methylsulfate, stearate, glucuronate, 2-napsylate, tosylate, hibenzate, nicotinate, isethionate, malate, maleate, citrate, gluconate, succinate, saccharate, benzoate, esylate, and pamoate salts.

The definitions described herein may be appended to form chemically-relevant combinations, such as “heteroalkylaryl,” “haloalkylheteroaryl,” “arylalkylheterocyclyl,” “alkylcarbonyl,” “alkoxyalkyl,” and the like. When the term “alkyl” is used as a suffix following another term, as in “phenylalkyl,” or “hydroxyalkyl,” this is intended to refer to an alkyl group, as defined above, being substituted with at least one substituent selected from the other specifically-named group. Thus, for example, “phenylalkyl” refers to an alkyl group having at least one phenyl substituent, and thus includes benzyl and phenylethyl. An “alkylaminoalkyl” is an alkyl group having at least one alkylamino substituent. “Hydroxyalkyl” includes 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-hydroxypropyl, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropyl, 2-hydroxybutyl, 2,3-dihydroxybutyl, 2-(hydroxymethyl), 3-hydroxypropyl, and so forth. Accordingly, as used herein, the term “hydroxyalkyl” is used to define a subset of heteroalkyl groups defined below. The term -(ar)alkyl refers to either an unsubstituted alkyl or an aralkyl group. The term (hetero)aryl or (het)aryl refers to a moiety that is either an aryl or a heteroaryl group.


The term “C1-C4 acyloxy-C1-C2 alkyl” as used herein denotes a group of formula —(CH2)1-2OC(O)(CH2)0-3H. The term “C1-C4 acyloxy” as used herein denotes the radical —OC(O)R, wherein R contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms (e.g., C1 is formyl).


The term “alkyl” includes linear or branched-chain radicals of carbon atoms. Some alkyl moieties have been abbreviated, for example, methyl (“Me”), ethyl (“Et”), propyl (“Pr”) and butyl (“Bu”), and further abbreviations are used to designate specific isomers of compounds, for example, 1-propyl or n-propyl (“n-Pr”), 2-propyl or isopropyl (“i-Pr”), 1-butyl or n-butyl (“n-Bu”), 2-methyl-1-propyl or isobutyl (“i-Bu”), 1-methylpropyl or s-butyl (“s-Bu”), 1,1-dimethylethyl or t-butyl (“t-Bu”) and the like. The abbreviations are sometimes used in conjunction with elemental abbreviations and chemical structures, for example, methanol (“MeOH”) or ethanol (“EtOH”).


Additional abbreviations used throughout the application may include, for example, benzyl (“Bn”), phenyl (“Ph”) and acetate (“Ac”).


The terms “alkenyl” and “alkynyl” also include linear or branched-chain radicals of carbon atoms.


The term “haloalkyl” as used herein denotes an unbranched or branched chain alkyl group as defined above, wherein 1, 2, 3 or more hydrogen atoms are substituted by a halogen. Examples are 1-fluoromethyl, 1-chloromethyl, 1-bromomethyl, 1-iodomethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, 1-fluoroethyl, 1-chloroethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, 2-chloroethyl, 2-bromoethyl, 2,2-dichloroethyl, 3-bromopropyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2-chloro-3-fluoropropyl and 1,1,2,2,2-pentafluoroethyl (perfluoroethyl).


The term “heteroalkyl” as used herein means an alkyl radical as defined herein, wherein one or two hydrogen atoms have been replaced with a substituent independently selected from the group consisting of —ORα and —NRβRγ, with the understanding that the point of attachment of the heteroalkyl radical is through a carbon atom. Rα is hydrogen or alkyl and Rβ and Rγ are independently of each other hydrogen, acyl, alkyl, or Rβ and Rγ together with the nitrogen to which they are attached form a cyclic amine. Hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl and dialkylaminoalkyl moieties are subgenera encompassed by the term “heteroalkyl”. Representative examples include, but are not limited to, 2-hydroxyethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl, 2-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethylethyl, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl, 1-hydroxymethylethyl, 3-hydroxybutyl, 2,3-dihydroxybutyl, 2-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl, 2-aminoethyl, 3-methylaminopropyl, and the like.


The term “heteroaryl” includes five to six membered monocyclic and nine to ten membered bicyclic aromatic rings containing one, two, three or four heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur, with the proviso that the ring does not contain two adjacent O or S atoms. In certain instances, these terms may be specifically further limited, such as, five to six membered heteroaryl, wherein the heteroaryl contains one or two nitrogen heteroatoms. As well known to those skilled in the art, heteroaryl rings have less aromatic character than their all-carbon counter parts. Thus, for the purposes of the invention, a heteroaryl group need only have some degree of aromatic character.


Heteroaryl groups may include, for example, pyrrolyl, thiophenyl (thienyl), furanyl (furyl), imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, triazolyl, thiadiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, thiatriazolyl, oxatriazolyl, pyridinyl (pyridyl), pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, thiazinyl, oxazinyl, triazinyl, thiadiazinyl, oxadiazinyl, dithiazinyl, dioxazinyl, oxathiazinyl, tetrazinyl, thiatriazinyl, oxatriazinyl, dithiadiazinyl, imidazolinyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, indazolyl, benzotriazolyl, pyrrolopyridinyl, imidazopyridinyl, pyrazolopyridine, isoindolyl, indazolyl, purinyl, indolininyl, pyrrolopyridazinyl, imidazopyrimidinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, cinnolinyl, quinazolinyl, quinoxalinyl, phthalazinyl, napthyridinyl, pyridopyrimidinyl, pyridopyrazinyl, pyrimidopyrimidinyl and pyraziniopyrazinyl.


The terms “heterocycle”, “heterocyclic” and “heterocyclyl” include three to seven membered monocyclic saturated or partially unsaturated rings containing one, two or three heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, S(═O) and S(═O)2, with the proviso that the ring does not contain two adjacent O or S atoms. In certain instances, these terms may be specifically further limited, such as, “five to six membered heterocyclyl” only including five and six membered rings. Bicyclic heterocyclic groups include five to fourteen membered bicyclic saturated or partially unsaturated rings containing one, two or three heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, S(═O) and S(═O)2. In certain instances, these terms may be specifically further limited, such as, “seven to ten membered heterocyclyl” only including seven to ten membered bicyclic rings.


Heterocyclic groups may include, for example, oxiranyl, thiaranyl, aziridinyl, oxetanyl, thiatanyl, azetidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, pyrrolidinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahyrdothiopyranyl, piperidinyl, dioxanyl, oxathianyl, morpholinyl (morpholino), dithianyl, piperazinyl, azathianyl, oxepanyl, thiepanyl, azepanyl, dioxepanyl, oxathiepanyl, oxaazepanyl, dithiepanyl, thieazepanyl, diazepanyl, dihydrofuranyl, dihydropyranyl, pyranyl and tetrahydropyridinyl. Further examples of the 5- and 6-membered ring systems discussed above can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 4,278,793.


The terms “hydroxyalkyl” and “alkoxyalkyl” as used herein denotes alkyl radical as herein defined, wherein one to three hydrogen atoms on different carbon atoms is/are replaced by hydroxyl or alkoxy groups respectively. A C1-C3 alkoxy-C1-C6 alkyl moiety refers to a C1-C6 alkyl substituent in which one to three hydrogen atoms are replaced by a C1-C3 alkoxy and the point of attachment of the alkoxy is the oxygen atom.


A bond drawn into ring system (as opposed to connected at a distinct vertex) indicates that the bond may be attached to any of the suitable ring atoms.


Methods of this invention encompass methods of treating, preventing and/or managing various types of cancer and diseases and disorders associated with, or characterized by, undesired angiogenesis. As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the term “treating” or “treat” refers to the administration of a compound of the invention or other additional active agent after the onset of symptoms of the particular disease or disorder. The terms “treat” or “treatment” also refer to therapeutic or palliative measures. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Those in need of treatment include those already with the condition or disorder, as well as those prone to have the condition or disorder. As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the term “preventing” refers to the administration prior to the onset of symptoms, particularly to patients at risk of cancer, and other diseases and disorders associated with, or characterized by, undesired angiogenesis. The term “prevention” includes the inhibition of a symptom of the particular disease or disorder. Patients with familial history of cancer and diseases and disorders associated with, or characterized by, undesired angiogenesis are preferred candidates for preventive regimens. As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “managing” encompasses preventing the recurrence of the particular disease or disorder in a patient who had suffered from it, and/or lengthening the time a patient who had suffered from the disease or disorder remains in remission.


The phrases “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” mean an amount of a compound described herein that, when administered to a mammal in need of such treatment, sufficient to (i) treat or prevent the particular disease, condition, or disorder, (ii) attenuate, ameliorate, or eliminate one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) prevent or delay the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein. The amount of a compound that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the mammal in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined by one skilled in the art.


The terms “cancer” and “cancerous” refer to or describe the physiological condition in mammals that is typically characterized by abnormal or unregulated cell growth. A “tumor” comprises one or more cancerous cells. Examples of cancer include, but are not limited to, carcinoma, lymphoma, blastoma, sarcoma, and leukemia or lymphoid malignancies.

Scheme 1 shows a general scheme for the synthesis of compound 6, wherein X1, R1 and R2 are as defined herein. The compound 2, wherein Z2 is Cl or F and Z3 is Cl or Br, may be prepared starting from compound 1, wherein Z1 is Cl, Br or I, such as 4-chloro-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene.

In preparing compounds of Formula I, protection of remote functionalities (e.g., primary or secondary amines, etc.) of intermediates may be necessary. The need for such protection will vary depending on the nature of the remote functionality and the conditions of the preparation methods. Suitable amino-protecting groups (NH-Pg) include acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl (“Boc”), benzyloxycarbonyl (“CBz”) and 9-fluorenylmethyleneoxycarbonyl (“Fmoc”). The need for such protection is readily determined by one skilled in the art. For a general description of protecting groups and their use, see T. W. Greene, et al. Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis. New York: Wiley Interscience, 2006.


Methods of Separation


It may be advantageous to separate reaction products from one another and/or from starting materials. The desired products of each step or series of steps is separated and/or purified (hereinafter separated) to the desired degree of homogeneity by the techniques common in the art. Typically such separations involve multiphase extraction, crystallization from a solvent or solvent mixture, distillation, sublimation, or chromatography. Chromatography can involve any number of methods including, for example: reverse-phase and normal phase; size exclusion; ion exchange; high, medium and low pressure liquid chromatography methods and apparatus; small scale analytical; simulated moving bed (SMB) and preparative thin or thick layer chromatography, as well as techniques of small scale thin layer and flash chromatography. One skilled in the art will apply techniques most likely to achieve the desired separation.


Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.


A single stereoisomer, e.g., an enantiomer, substantially free of its stereoisomer may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers using optically active resolving agents (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994; Lochmuller, C. H., et al. “Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers: Selective review.” J. Chromatogr. 113(3) (1975): pp. 283-302). Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds described herein may be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the diastereomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3) separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers directly under chiral conditions. See: Wainer, Irving W., Ed. Drug Stereochemistry: Analytical Methods and Pharmacology. New York: Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1993.


Under method (1), diastereomeric salts can be formed by reaction of enantiomerically pure chiral bases such as brucine, quinine, ephedrine, strychnine, α-methyl-β-phenylethylamine (amphetamine), and the like with asymmetric compounds bearing acidic functionality, such as carboxylic acid and sulfonic acid. The diastereomeric salts may be induced to separate by fractional crystallization or ionic chromatography. For separation of the optical isomers of amino compounds, addition of chiral carboxylic or sulfonic acids, such as camphorsulfonic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, or lactic acid, can result in formation of the diastereomeric salts.


Alternatively, by method (2), the substrate to be resolved is reacted with one enantiomer of a chiral compound to form a diastereomeric pair (Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994, p. 322). Diastereomeric compounds can be formed by reacting asymmetric compounds with enantiomerically pure chiral derivatizing reagents, such as menthyl derivatives, followed by separation of the diastereomers and hydrolysis to yield the pure or enriched enantiomer. A method of determining optical purity involves making chiral esters, such as a menthyl ester, e.g., (−) menthyl chloroformate in the presence of base, or Mosher ester, α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl acetate (Jacob III, Peyton. “Resolution of (±)-5-Bromonornicotine. Synthesis of (R)- and (S)-Nornicotine of High Enantiomeric Purity.” J. Org. Chem. Vol. 47, No. 21 (1982): pp. 4165-4167), of the racemic mixture, and analyzing the 1H NMR spectrum for the presence of the two atropisomeric enantiomers or diastereomers. Stable diastereomers of atropisomeric compounds can be separated and isolated by normal- and reverse-phase chromatography following methods for separation of atropisomeric naphthyl-isoquinolines (WO 96/15111).


By method (3), a racemic mixture of two enantiomers can be separated by chromatography using a chiral stationary phase (Lough, W. J., Ed. Chiral Liquid Chromatography. New York: Chapman and Hall, 1989; Okamoto, Yoshio, et al. “Optical resolution of dihydropyridine enantiomers by high-performance liquid chromatography using phenylcarbamates of polysaccharides as a chiral stationary phase.” J. of Chromatogr. Vol. 513 (1990): pp. 375-378). Enriched or purified enantiomers can be distinguished by methods used to distinguish other chiral molecules with asymmetric carbon atoms, such as optical rotation and circular dichroism.


Biological Evaluation


Determination of the activity of ERK activity of a compound of Formula I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX or X is possible by a number of direct and indirect detection methods. Certain exemplary compounds described herein were assayed for their ERK inhibition assay (Biological Example 1). The range of ERK binding activities was less than 1 nM (nanomolar) to about 10 μM (micromolar).

Cellular P90RSK(Ser380) Phosphorylation Assay

Inhibition of PMA-stimulated P90RSK(Ser380) phosphorylation was determined by the following in vitro cellular mechanistic assay, which comprises incubating cells with a compound for 1.5 hours and quantifying fluorescent pP90RSK(Ser380) signal on fixed cells and normalizing to GAPDH signal.


HepG2 cells were obtained from ATCC and grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were plated in 96-well plates at 35,000 cells/well and allowed to attach overnight at 37° C./5% CO2. Diluted compounds were then added at a final concentration of 0.5% DMSO. After 1.5 hours compound incubation, cells were stimulated with the addition of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (“PMA”) at a final concentration of 100 ng/mL; the PMA stimulation was a 30-minute incubation at 37° C./5% CO2. After the 30-minute PMA stimulation, cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (“PBS”) and fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. This was followed by another wash in PBS and then permeabilization in 100% MeOH at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Following the permeabilization incubation, cells were washed in PBS/0.05% Tween-20, followed by a block in Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR Biosciences) for at least 1 hour. Antibodies to phosphorylated P90RSK(Ser380) (Cell Signaling #9335, rabbit monoclonal) and GAPDH (Fitzgerald 10R-G109a, mouse monoclonal) were added to the cells and incubated overnight at 4° C. pP90RSK(Ser380) antibody was used at a 1:250 dilution; GAPDH was used at a 1:10,000 dilution. After washing with PBS/0.05% Tween-20, the cells were incubated with fluorescently-labeled secondary antibodies (Anti-rabbit-Alexa Flour680, Invitrogen Cat#A21109; Anti-mouse-IRDye800CW, Rockland Inc. Cat#610-131-121) for 1 hour. Both secondary antibodies were used at a 1:1000 dilution. Cells were then washed and analyzed for fluorescence at both wavelengths using the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). Phosphorylated P90RSK(Ser380) signal was normalized to GAPDH signal. Table 1 contains representative data for Examples disclosed herein. The reported IC50 in Table 1 may be from a single assay or the mean of multiple assays.

Step 1: A resealable glass pressure tube was charged with 2,4-dichloropyrimidine (5.0 g, 33.56 mmol), (4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)boronic acid (6.83 g, 36.9 mmol), PdCl2(dppf)-CH2Cl2 adduct (1.37 g, 1.68 mmol), 20% aqueous Na2CO3 (16.78 mL, 33.56 mmol) and 1,4-dioxane (67 mL, 33.56 mmol). The mixture was sparged with N2 for 5 minutes. The tube was sealed under N2 with a Teflon® cap, stirred at 90° C. for 5 hours and allowed to cool to room temperature. A precipitate formed with cooling. The mixture was poured into water (50 mL) and attempted to extract in to EtOAc, DCM and 5% MeOH:DCM. However, the solids did not dissolve in the solvents used. Therefore the mixture was filtered (suction filtration) to isolate the solid. The filtrate collected was transferred to a separatory funnel. The phases were separated, and the organic layer was concentrated in vacuo without drying over MgSO4. The residue obtained was combined with the solid from above filtration. Then it was dissolved in hot THF:EtOAc (1:1, 500 mL) and washed with water (1×50 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue obtained was crystallized form hot CH3CN to provide 2-chloro-4-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)pyrimidine (7.9 g, 92.8% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.816-8.743 (m, 1H), 8.759 (dd, J1=5.086 Hz, J2=1.174 Hz, 1H), 8.468-8.431 (m, 1H), 7.70 (dd, J1=5.478 Hz, J2=1.174 Hz, 1H), 7.50-7.456 (m, 1H).

The reaction mixture was filtered, and the solid was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography eluting with DCM:MeOH gradient 0-10% to provide 4-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-N-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (5.14 g, 83% yield) as a solid.

Once the addition of Zn was completed, the ice bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction went to completion (LCMS data). The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (60 mL), and the organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide the crude N1-(2,3-difluorobenzyl)-4-(2-((1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)amino)pyrimidin-4-yl)benzene-1,2-diamine as a solid.

After 10 minutes, the ice bath was removed, and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc (50 mL), transferred to a separatory funnel and washed with 1 N NaOH followed by brine (10 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue obtained was purified by C-18 flash chromatography (Biotage 25M+) eluting with a gradient of 5-90% CH3CN:water (25CV) on Biotage SP1 unit to provide 4-(1-(2,3-difluorobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-5-yl)-N-(1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (26.42 mg, 11% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, (CD3)2SO) δ 9.52 (s, 1H), 8.85 (s, 1H0, 8.56 (d, J=5.075 Hz, 1H), 8.34 (dd, J1=1.171 Hz, J2=8.98 Hz, 1H), 8.013 (d, J=5.47 Hz, 1H), 7.48-7.40 (m, 1H), 7.37 (d, J=1.952 Hz, 1H), 7.25-7.17 (m, 2H), 6.32 (d, J=1.562 Hz, 1H), 6.14 (s, 2H), 3.70 (s, 3H).
