This invention relates to novel compounds, e.g., macrocyclic and other peptides, compositions comprising these compounds, and methods of using these compounds, e.g., in inhibiting SH2 domain binding with a phosphoprotein such as in the prevention or treatment of a disease, state, or condition in a mammal. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing these compounds and intermediates useful in their preparation.
The pharmaceutical industry is in search for new classes of compounds for the therapy and prophylaxis of proliferative diseases such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, and hyperproliferative skin disorders such as psoriasis. These diseases or disorders affect a large portion of the population, leading to suffering and possibly death.
Some of these diseases or disorders may involve signal transduction. Signal transduction is critical to normal cellular homeostasis and is the process of relaying extracellular messages, e.g., chemical messages in the form of growth factors, hormones and neurotransmitters, via receptors, e.g., cell-surface receptors, to the interior of the cell. Protein-tyrosine kinases play a central role in this biological function. Among others, these enzymes catalyze the phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues to form tyrosine phosphorylated residues. Examples of this class of enzymes include the PDGF receptor, the FGF receptor, the HGF receptor, members of the EGF receptor family such as the EGF receptor, erb-B2, erb-B3 and erb-B4, the src kinase family, Fak kinase and the Jak kinase family. The tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are involved in a range of metabolic processes, from proliferation and growth to differentiation.
Protein-tyrosine phosphorylation is known to be involved in modulating the activity of some target enzymes as well as in generating specific complex networks involved in signal transduction via various proteins containing a specific amino acid sequence called a Src homology region or SH2 domain (see Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90, 5891 (1990)). A malfunction in this protein-tyrosine phosphorylation through tyrosine kinase overexpression or deregulation is manifested by various oncogenic and (hyper-)proliferative disorders such as cancer, inflammation, autoimmune disease, hyperroliferative skin disorders, such as psoriasis, and allergy/asthma.
SH2- and/or SH3-comprising proteins that play a role in cellular signaling and transformation include, but are not limited to, the following: Src, Lck, Eps, ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), phospholipase C, phosphoinositol-3 (P1-3)kinase, Fyn, Lyk, Fgr, Fes, ZAP-70, Sem-5, p85, SHPTP1, SHPTP2, corkscrew, Syk, Lyn, Yes, Hck, Dsrc, Tec, Atk/Bpk, Itk/Tsk, Arg, Csk, tensin, Vav, Emt, Grb2, BCR-Ab1, Shc, Nck, Crk, CrkL, Syp, Blk, 113TF, 91TF, Tyk2, especially Src, phospholipase c, phoshoinositol-3 (p1-3)kinase, Grb2, BCR-Ab1, Shc, Nck, Crk, CrkL, Syp, Blk, 113TF, 91TF, and Tyk2. A direct link has been established between activated receptor kinases and Ras with the finding that the mammalian Grb2 protein, a 26 kilodalton (kD) protein comprising a single SH2 and two SH3 domains bind to proline-rich sequences present in the Sos exchange factor.
The significance of ras-regulatory proteins in human tumors is also highlighted by the critical role of Grb2 in BCR-Ab1 mediated oncogenesis (J. Exp. Med., 179, 167-175 (1994)).
Central to the binding of SH2 domains with phosphotyrosine (“pTyr”) containing ligands is the interaction of the doubly ionized ptyr phosphate with two invariant arginine residues in a well formed pocket. These arginine-phosphate interactions are particularly critical to the overall binding, such that high affinity binding is usually lost by removal of the phosphate group.
U.S. provisional patent application Nos. 60/160,899, filed Oct. 22, 1999; and 60/221,525, filed Jul. 28, 2000; and International Publication Nos. WO 02/16407, WO 00/73326 A2 and WO 00/56760 disclose certain SH2 domain binding inhibitors, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference.
There exists a need for molecules that have an ability to mimic the structure of the phosphotyrosine peptide binding site, as well as a need for compounds that have the ability to disrupt the interaction between SH2 domains of proteins (e.g., regulatory proteins) for example that of Grb2, and proteins with phosphorylated moieties. There also exists a need for suitable starting materials, intermediates, or precursors in the synthesis of the molecules that inhibit binding of SH2 domains. There further exists a need for compounds suitable for use in the therapy or prophylaxis of proliferative diseases or conditions, as well as in diagnosis, assays, and testing.
These and other advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description as set forth below.
The present invention provides a number of SH2 domain inhibiting compounds. e.g., peptides, preferably, macrocyclic peptides. Thus, the present invention provides a compound of formula (I)
wherein R1 is a lipophile; R2 in combination with the phenyl ring is a phenylphosphate mimic group or a protected phenylphosphate mimic group; R3 is hydrogen, azido, amino, carboxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, aminocarbonylalkyl, or alkylcarbonylamino, wherein the alkyl portion of R3 may be optionally substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halo, hydroxy, carboxyl, amino, aminoalkyl, alkyl, alkoxy, and keto; R6 is a linker; AA is an amino acid; and n is 1 to 6; or a salt thereof. The compounds of the present invention, in embodiments, have the advantage that their conformation is constrained to provide enhanced binding affinity with SH2 domain protein.
The present invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically or pharmacologically acceptable carrier and a compound of the present invention. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting an SH2 domain from binding with a phosphoprotein comprising contacting an SH2 domain with a compound of the present invention. The present invention also provides a method of preventing or treating a disease, state, or condition by the use of one or more of these compounds. The present invention also provides a method for preparing the compounds of the present invention. The present invention further provides intermediates useful in the preparation of the compounds.
While the invention has been described and disclosed below in connection with certain embodiments and procedures, it is not intended to limit the invention to those specific embodiments. Rather it is intended to cover all such alternative embodiments and modifications as fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
a-e depict the formulas of compounds Ii, 3a, 5b, Ih, and 126, respectively.
a depicts the dose response curves of compounds 126, Ih, Ii, 3a, and 5b, on the growth of MDA453 breast cancer cells after treatment with growth factor.
a-c depict the effect of inhibitors on the binding of Grb2 to erbB-2 tyrosine kinase in whole cell assays (IP: Grb2 c-23 WB: pTy (PY99)).
An aspect of the present invention is predicated on the concept that binding affinity for SH2 domain proteins can be envisioned to increase by a conformational constraint in a ligand. The conformational constraint is believed to lead to certain advantages, e.g., a reduction in binding entropy penalty. Binding of natural pTyr-containing ligands to Grb2 SH2 domains takes place in a β-bend fashion, with key interactions occurring in a pTyr binding pocket as well as in a proximal pocket which ligates the amino acid side chain of a pY+2 Asn residue. The present invention provides a novel platform which is expected provide enhanced binding outside the pTyr pocket.

The disease, state, condition can be a cancer, e.g., a breast cancer or an ovarian cancer, or a tumor such as a solid tumor, e.g., a brain tumor, a prostate tumor, and the like, leukemia including chronic myelocytic leukemia, lymphoma, an autoimmune disease, an inflammatory disease, a metabolic disease, diabetes, obesity, or cardiovascular disease.
The present invention further provides a method of enhancing the therapeutic effect of a treatment rendered to a mammal comprising administering a compound in conjunction with the treatment. By conjunction, it is meant that the inhibitor can be used in any suitable manner, for example, prior to, simultaneous with, or post-administration of the therapeutic agent. Synergistic effects are observed when the SH2 domain binding inhibitor is used in combination with other treatments known to those skilled in the art. The inhibitor enhances the cytotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic treatments. Cancer treatment is particularly suitable for this combination treatment.
The cancer may involve any number of mechanisms. A majority of human breast cancer are dependent upon activation of the Ras signaling pathways through activation of growth factor receptor as the means to achieve continuous cellular proliferation. For example, the cancer may involve overexpression of Her-2/neu. The cancer can be mediated through BCR-Ab1 or the expression of erbB-2 receptor. In cells transformed by p185 erbB-2 overexpression, therapeutic agents affecting Grb2 function at its SH2 domain may interrupt the flow of signal transduction to the ras pathway and thus result in reversal of the cancer phenotype.
The therapeutic treatment can include a chemotherapy, a radiation therapy, and/or a biological therapy. Examples of chemotherapy includes the use of cancer treatment agents such as alkylating agents, hormonal agents, antimetabolites, natural products, and miscellaneous agents. Particular examples of cancer treatment agents include paclitaxel, 5-fluoruracil, and doxorubicin. Examples of biological therapy includes the use of a protein such as an antibody (monoclonal or polyclonal) or a recombinant protein. An example of an antibody is herceptin, which is targeted for inhibiting the erbB-2 receptor. In embodiments, the enhancement of the therapeutic effect comprises blocking of a cell survival factor in the mammal and/or triggering, e.g., enhancing or speeding up, of cell apoptosis. The treatment can be carried out in vivo and/or in vitro.
The present invention further provides a method of inhibiting the MAP kinase activity in a mammal. MAP kinases function in a protein kinase cascade that plays a critical role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. MAP kinases are activated by a variety of signals including growth factors, cytokines and hormones through Grb2 and other signaling proteins. For example, the state of threonine and tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular MAP kinase is determined in MDA-453 cells treated with growth factor heregulin (HRG) using a polyclonal antibody specifically recognizing the phosphorylated threonine and tyrosine residues of MAP kinase.
The Grb2 SH2 binding inhibitors are effective in inhibiting the association or binding of Grb2 with activated receptor PTKs. Interaction of native Grb2 protein with phosphotyrosinylated proteins including receptor PTKs can be monitored by immunoprecipitating Grb2 and detecting the amount of phosphotyrosinylated proteins which are coprecipitated using anti-phosphotyrosine Western Blotting
The compounds of the present invention exert a cytostatic effect. In embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are free or substantially free of toxicity.
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting cell motility. The present invention also provides a method for inhibiting angiogenesis in an animal. The present invention further provides a method for preventing or treating a variety of diseases, disorders, states or conditions in a mammal, particularly in a human. The present invention provides a method of inhibiting cell motility in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal a peptide having cell signal inhibiting activity and cell motility inhibiting activity; Advantageously, the peptide is free or substantially free of cytotoxicity.
The present invention contemplates to retard or reduce the movement of cells. A number of factors, forces, and/or mechanisms are involved in the movement of cells from one location to another. The method of the present invention is not limited to inhibiting or interfering with one particular factor, force, or mechanism that is involved in the cell movement.
The process of cell movement begins with extension of the cell membrane, the push forward of cytosol (the inner material of the cell), and retraction of the rear of the cell. As the cell membrane initially is propelled forward, an attachment forms between the membrane and the substratum, thereby anchoring the “head” of the cell. Some believe that the cytosol is pushed forward by restructuring of the cytoskeletal network within the cell, although the exact mechanism is unknown. The final step involves the detachment of the “tail” of the cell from the substratum.
It is believed that growth factors activate a signal transduction pathway involving G-proteins, which promote cytoskeletal changes including actin polymerization. External factors promote cell motility by binding to a cell surface receptor and activating a signal transduction pathway, e.g., one involving G-proteins. The signal transduction pathway, in turn, promotes reorganization of the cytoskeleton. A variety of extracellular factors influence cell motility. The movement of a cell following soluble molecules along a concentration gradient is called chemotaxis. Intracellular calcium may play a role in the ability of a cell to recognize concentration gradients. Hormones such as insulin, cytokines, and specific peptide fragments of the extracellular matrix have been identified which stimulate tumor cell motility and chemotaxis.
Aside from instigating cell motility, growth factors stimulate neovascularization, which involves, in part, cell movement. Angiogenesis begins with proteolytic enzyme-mediated breakdown of the basement membrane of a blood vessel. It is believed that breakdown of the basement membrane is regulated by angiogenic factors, such as fibroblast growth factor. Endothelial cells migrate to the area of degradation and invade the surrounding extracellular matrix. Invading endothelial cells proliferate, forming an elongated column of cells. A lumen forms within the solid cell column, thereby forming a vessel, which eventually connects with an existing blood vessel forming a capillary loop (Fotsis et al., J. Nutr., 125: 790S-797S (1995)).
The present invention provides a method for inhibiting angiogenesis in an animal, e.g., a mammal. The method comprises administering to the animal, e.g., mammal, a peptide having cell signal inhibiting activity and cell motility inhibiting activity, wherein the peptide is substantially free of cytotoxicity. Preferably, the peptide affects multiple aspects of the angiogenic process to effectively therapeutically or prophylactically treat angiogenesis. For example, in addition to inhibiting cell signaling and cell motility, the peptide preferably inhibits invasion of epithelial and/or endothelial cells into the extracellular matrix.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of inhibiting cell motility and angiogenesis induced by the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), particularly the motility derived from a biological response mediated by its cell surface receptor, the c-Met proto-oncogene product, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase. Upon HGF binding, several tyrosine residues within the c-Met intracellular domain are phosphorylated. Some of the phosphorylated domains mediate binding with various signaling proteins, e.g., the Grb2 protein, the p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C-gamma, Shc, and Gab1.
The compounds of the present invention inhibit Grb2 SH2 domain binding. In this regard, it is imperative to cellular function that a transducer protein accurately identify activated cellular receptors. Very often, recognition specificity stems from the ability of the transducer protein to recognize a phosphotyrosine surrounded by a specific amino acid sequence. The recognition motif for Grb2 is pYXN wherein pY is phospho-Tyr, X is any amino acid, and N is Asn. The method of the present invention, in an embodiment, is directed to inhibiting cell motility induced or mediated by signaling due to one or more of the above HGF bindings, preferably the binding of HGF c-Met receptor with the Grb2 protein.
Compounds having cell signaling inhibitory activity and cell motility inhibiting activity, such as Grb2-SH2 domain mimetic compounds, are particularly useful in inhibiting neovascularization. Compounds having cell signaling inhibitory activity and cell motility inhibiting activity, such as the Grb2-SH2 domain mimetic compounds, e.g., macrocyclic peptides described herein, inhibit endothelial cell and epithelial cell invasion of matrices and the formation of cell cords.
The compounds of the present invention interact with intracellular signal transducers, thus interfering in the pathways leading to cell proliferation and movement. These biological effects can be utilized to inhibit growth of neoplastic cells, inhibit angiogenesis, and to prevent metastatic spreading. The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating a disease, condition, or state in a mammal that is mediated by the binding of an intracellular signal transducer to a receptor protein tyrosine kinase comprising administering to the mammal a peptide of the present invention.
The compounds of the present invention inhibit cell motility. The peptides prevent scattering of cells.
The cytotoxic effects of agents that disrupt the cytoskeleton, such as colchicine, taxol, cytochalasins, and phalloidin are well-characterized, and are fundamentally different from the anti-motility effects exerted by the compounds employed in the present invention. These compounds may be highly efficacious for the safe treatment of human diseases such as metastatic cancers, e.g., where the role of HGF plays a role in stimulating the invasion of cells into tissue surrounding the tumors and the migration of metastases to distant sites.
The compounds of the present invention are of use in medicine, e.g., in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a condition that responds to the inhibition of phosphoprotein binding to an SH2 domain of a mammal.
The present invention further provides a method for determining the presence of an SH2 domain in a material comprising (a) exposing a sample of said material to a SH2 binding compound and obtaining a first binding result; (b) exposing another sample of said material to a compound described above and obtaining a second binding result; and (c) comparing the first and second binding results to determine whether an SH2 domain is present in the material.

Determination of enantiomeric purity of analogue 34. Dipeptides 44 and 45 were prepared from protected azido acid 34 using Rink amide resin (0.4 meq/g, purchased from Bachem Corp., Torrance, Calif.) with Fmoc-protocols similar to those previously described. Fmoc-D,L-Leu and Fmoc-L-Leu-Rink amide resins were prepared by coupling the appropriate Fmoc-protected amino acides to Rink resin, with the resulting Fmoc-protected resins (12.5 mg) then being washed well with several 1 mL portions of N-methyl-2-pyrolidoinone (NMP). Fmoc amino protection was removed by treatment with 20% piperidine in NMP (0.5 mL, 2 minutes followed by 0.5 mL, 20 minutes). Resins were washed well with NMP (10×1 mL) then coupled overnight with a solution of active ester formed by reacting 12.5 μmol each of protected azido acid 34, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and 1,3-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPCDI) in NMP (1.0 mL, 10 minutes). Resins were first washed with NMP (10×1 mL) and dichloromethane (10×1 mL), then dipeptides were cleaved from the resin using a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA, 1.80 mL) and H2O (200 μl) (1 h), taken to dryness and analyzed by HPLC (linear gradient from 10% B to 90% B over 20 minutes). Retention times of diastereomeric peaks as determined using dipeptide 44 prepared from racemic D,L-leucine, indicated diastereomers eluting at 18.6 minutes and 19.1 minutes. Enantiomeric contamination of azido acid 34 was then determined by similar analysis of dipeptide 45, where diastereomeric contamination accounted for an area less than 3% of that observed for the major diastereomer. These results indicated greater than 94% enantiomeric purity.

This Example illustrates some of the properties of the compounds in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
To characterize the time period and dose which the Grb2 SH2 domain inhibitor (antagonist) compound of formula 4 enters intact cells, the murine IL-3-dependent cell line 32D c-met was used. The effects of the inhibitor on c-Met-Grb2 interaction was examined by co-immunoprecipitation/immunoblot analysis. Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640+15% FBS and 5% WEHI-3B conditioned medium. Intact 32Dc-met cells were treated with different amount (3, 30, 300 nM) of the compound for 1, 2, 4, and 16 h, then briefly stimulated with HGF/NK1 for 10 minutes before lysis, immunoprecipitated with anti-Grb2 antibodies (Santa Cruz), and immunoblotting with anti-c-Met (Santa Cruz), or anti-Grb2 (Transduction Lab). HGF/NK1 stimulated co-immunoprecipitation of the 145 kDa c-Met beta subunit with Grb2. When cells were pretreated for 16 h with 30 nM or 300 nM compound of formula 4 prior to HGF/NK1 stimulation, the amount of HGF receptor that was co-immunoprecipitated with Grb2 was reduced by approximately 50%.
Inhibition of Grb2 SH2 Domain Binding using ELISA Techniques. A biotinated phosphopeptide encompassing a Grb2 SH2 domain binding sequence derived from SHC protein, was bound at 20 ng/mL to 96-well plates overnight. Nonspecific interactions were inhibited by 5% bovine serum albumin containing TBS. Samples of recombinant purified Grb2 SH2-GST fusion protein were preincubated with serial of dilutions of inhibitors, then added into each well. After extensive washing with 0.1% bovine serum albumin in TBS, bound Grb2 SH2 domain was detected using anti-GST antibodies and goat anti-mouse antibody conjugated to alkaline phosphatase. Quantitation of bound alkaline phosphatase was achieved by a colorimetric reaction employing para-nitrophenyl phosphate as substrate. The results obtained are set forth in
Inhibition of Grb2 SH2 Domain Binding in Whole Cells. ErbB2 over expressing breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-453, were treated with inhibitors (25 μM) for 3 h in serum-free IMEM medium (Gibco). Cells were washed twice with PBS to remove inhibitor, then cell lysates were prepared using 1% Triton X-100 in PBS containing 0.2 mM NaVO4. Grb2 and associated Grb2-binding proteins were immunoprecipitated from each lysate (500 ug) with anti-Grb2 antibodies and collected using protein A Sepharose. Immunoprecipitated proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE on 8-16% gradient gels (Novex) and pTyr-containing proteins were detected by Western blotting using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies (Upstate Biochemicals Inc.). Previous experiments have shown that a major tyrosine phosphorylated protein in these cells is the p185 erbB-2, which is over expressed as a consequence of gene amplification. Western blotting with Grb2 MAb was done as a control. The results obtained are depicted in
Assay of Cell Proliferation. Cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, Md.) and Lombardi Cancer Center, Georgetown University Medical Center. Cells were routinely maintained in improved minimal essential medium (IMEM, Biofluids, Rockville, Md.) with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cultures were maintained in a humidified incubator at 37° C. and 5% CO2. The effect of Grb2 inhibitors on cell proliferation was determined by direct cell counting. Briefly, 25,000 cells were plated into 24-well plates and the Grb2 inhibitors at appropriate concentrations were added and cultured for 8 to 10 days. Cells were collected every other day and counted with a Coulter counter. The results obtained are depicted in
