The problem of the present invention is to prepare new compounds which on the basis of their pharmaceutical effectiveness as tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, may be used therapeutically, i.e. for the treatment of pathophysiological processes caused by hyperfunction of tyrosine kinases.
It has surprisingly been found that the problem mentioned above is solved by compounds of formula (I), wherein the groups Ra to Rd and A have the meanings given hereinafter.
The present invention therefore relates to compounds of general formula (I),
wherein
Preferred compounds of formula (I) are those wherein
The invention further relates to compounds of formula (I) for use as medicaments.
Preferably the compounds of formula (I) are used in cases of inflammatory or allergic diseases of the airways.
The compounds of formula (I) are particularly preferably used in cases of a disease selected from among chronic bronchitis, acute bronchitis, bronchitis caused by bacterial or viral infection or fungi or helminths, allergic bronchitis, toxic bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis (COPD), asthma (intrinsic or allergic), paediatric asthma, bronchiectasis, allergic alveolitis, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, cystic fibrosis or mucoviscidosis, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, cough, pulmonary emphysema, interstitial lung diseases, alveolitis, hyperreactive airways, nasal polyps, pulmonary oedema, pneumonitis of different origins, e.g. radiation-induced or caused by aspiration or infectious pneumonitis, collagenoses such as lupus erythematodes, systemic sclerodermy, sarcoidosis and Boeck's disease, and for treating complications in asthma and COPD triggered by viral, bacterial or other causes, for treating viral or bacterial infections of the airways or lungs.
It is also particularly preferred to use the compounds of formula (I) in cases of inflammatory or allergic complaints in which autoimmune reactions are involved. It is also particularly preferred to use the compounds of formula (I) in cases of a disease in the form of benign or malignant tumours.

By the term “optionally substituted” is meant within the scope of the invention the above-mentioned group, optionally substituted by a lower-molecular group. Examples of lower-molecular groups regarded as chemically meaningful are groups consisting of 1-25 atoms. Preferably such groups have no negative to effect on the pharmacological efficacy of the compounds.
For example the groups may comprise:
Also included in the subject-matter of this invention are the compounds according to the invention, including the salts thereof, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms, for example one, two, three, four or five hydrogen atoms, are replaced by deuterium.
Where a hyphen open on one side “-” is used in the structural formula of a substituent, this hyphen is to be understood as the linkage point to the remainder of the molecule. The substituent replaces the corresponding groups Ra, Rb, etc. If no hyphen open on one side is used in the structural formula of a substituent, the linkage point to the remainder of the molecule is clear from the structural formula itself.
Compounds of general formula (I) may contain acid groups, primarily carboxyl groups, and/or basic groups such as e.g. amino functions. Compounds of general formula (I) may therefore be present as internal salts, as salts with pharmaceutically useable inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, sulphonic acid or organic acids (such as for example maleic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or acetic acid) or as salts with pharmaceutically useable bases such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides or carbonates, zinc or ammonium hydroxides or organic amines such as e.g. diethylamine, triethylamine, triethanolamine, inter alia. For preparing the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of the compound of formula (I), it is preferable to use the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides and hydrides, while the hydroxides and hydrides of the alkali metals, particularly sodium and potassium are preferred, and sodium and potassium hydroxide are particularly preferred. (See also Pharmaceutical Salts, S. M. Birge et al., J. Pharm. Sci. (1977), 66, 1-19)
As already mentioned, the compounds of general formula (I) may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use, into the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof with an inorganic or organic acid. Suitable acids for this purpose include for example succinic acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, methanesulphonic acid, lactic acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, tartaric acid or citric acid. In addition, mixtures of the above-mentioned acids may be used.
The present invention relates to the respective compounds, optionally in the form of the individual diastereomers, mixtures of the individual diastereomers and/or individual enantiomers, mixtures of the individual enantiomers or racemates thereof, in the form of the tautomers as well as in the form of the free bases or the corresponding acid addition salts with pharmacologically acceptable acids—such as for example acid addition salts with hydrohalic acids—for example hydrochloric or hydrobromic acid or organic acids—such as for example tartaric acid, fumaric acid, citric acid or methanesulphonic acid.
“Protective groups” for the purposes of the present invention is a collective term for organic groups with which certain functional groups of a molecule containing a number of active centres can temporarily be protected from attack by reagents so that reactions take place only at the desired (unprotected) sites. The protective groups should be introduced selectively under mild conditions. They must be stable for the duration of the protection under all the conditions of the reactions and purifying procedures which are to be carried out; racemisations and epimerisations must be suppressed. Protective groups should be capable of being cleaved again under mild conditions selectively and ideally in high yields. The choice of a suitable protective group, the reaction conditions (solvent, temperature, duration, etc.), and also the options for removing a protective group are known in the art (e.g. Philip Kocienski, Protecting Groups, 3rd ed. 2004, THIEME, Stuttgart, ISBN: 3131370033).

Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures obtained may be resolved by chromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf. Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in “Topics in Stereochemistry”, Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the enantiomers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically active solvent or by reacting with an optically active substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained, e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents. Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid, camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or (−)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for example, may be a (+)- or (−)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be converted into the salts thereof, particularly for pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts with inorganic or organic acids or bases. Acids which may be used for this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, methanesulphonic acid, ethanesulphonic acid, benzenesulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, citric acid, L-malic acid, L-tartaric acid or maleic acid. Suitable bases for this purpose include for example sodium hydroxide solution, potassium hydroxide solution, calcium hydroxide, diethanolamine or N-methyl-D-glucamine.
The compounds of general formulae II to XIV used as starting materials are known from the literature to some extent or may be obtained by methods known from the literature (cf. Examples Ito XII), optionally with the additional introduction of protecting groups.
Standard processes for preparing the starting materials are described for example in “March's Advanced Organic Chemistry” by Michael B. Smith and Jerry March, Wiley-VCH or in “Science of Synthesis/Houben-Weyl” published by Thieme.
For example, the compounds of general formula (V) and (VI) may be obtained as follows:
Starting from a compound of general formula (XV), wherein PG denotes a protective group such as for example benzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, the reaction is carried out with a compound of general formula (III) analogously to the previously described process a) to obtain a compound of general formula (XVI). The compounds of general formula (XV) are known from the literature (cf. e.g. WO 2004/108664 or WO 2007/003486) or may be obtained by methods known from the literature.
The cleaving of the protective group from a compound of general formula (XVI) to obtain a compound of general formula (V) is carried out, if PG denotes benzyl, with hydrogen, for example, in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal (e.g. analogously to Example XI). The cleaving of the protective group if PG denotes 4-methoxybenzyl or 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl may also be carried out oxidatively (e.g. with cerium(IV)-ammonium nitrate or with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone) or with acids (e.g. with trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole, thioanisole, pentamethylbenzene or triethylsilane).
A compound of general formula (V) may then be converted into a compound of general formula (VI), as described in the previous process c). The meanings for Rb, Rc, Rd, A, Z1 and Z2 in the compounds of Scheme 1 are defined as mentioned hereinbefore.
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on signal transduction mediated by the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGF-R), whilst this may be achieved for example by inhibiting ligand bonding, receptor dimerisation or tyrosine kinase itself. It is also possible to block the transmission to of signals to components located further downstream.
The following Examples are intended to illustrate the present invention without restricting it:
3.30 ml trifluoroacetic acid are added to 1.60 g methyl trans-1-(2-tert.-butoxycarbonylamino-ethylamino)-4-[4-(3-chloro-2-fluoro-phenylamino)-7-methoxy-quinazolin-6-yloxy]-cyclohexanecarboxylate in 13 ml to methylene chloride. The reaction mixture is stirred for three hours at ambient temperature, then another 1 ml trifluoroacetic acid is added. After a further hour the reaction is finished and the reaction mixture is evaporated down, taken up in methylene chloride and some methanol and made alkaline with 10% potassium carbonate solution. The organic is phase is separated off and the aqueous phase is extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic phases are dried on magnesium sulphate and evaporated down.

The biological properties of the new compounds are investigated as follows, for example:
The inhibition of the EGF-R-mediated signal transmission can be demonstrated e.g. with cells which express human EGF-R and whose survival and proliferation depend on stimulation by EGF or TGF-alpha. A murine haematopoietic cell line is genetically modified so as to express functional human EGF-R. The proliferation of this cell line can therefore be stimulated by EGF.
The test is carried out as follows:
The cells are cultivated in RPMI/1640 medium. The proliferation is stimulated with 20 ng/ml of human EGF (Promega). To investigate the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention these compounds are dissolved in 100% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and added to the cultures in various dilutions, the maximum DMSO concentration being 1%. The cultures are incubated for 48 hours at 37° C.
In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds according to the invention the relative cell number is measured in O.D. Units using the Cell Titer 96™ AQueous Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (Promega). The relative cell number is calculated as a percentage of the control and the concentration of active substance which inhibits the proliferation of the cells by 50% (IC50) is derived therefrom.
The compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention exhibit IC50 values of <10 micromolar, preferably <1 micromolar, for example.
As has been found, the compounds of formula (I) are characterised by their versatility in the therapeutic field. Particular mention should be made of the possible applications for which the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention are preferably used on the basis of their pharmaceutical efficacy as tyrosine inhibitors.
The compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention thus inhibit signal transduction by tyrosine kinases, as demonstrated by the example of the human EGF receptor, and are therefore useful for treating pathophysiological is processes caused by hyperfunction of tyrosine kinases. These are e.g. benign or malignant tumours, particularly tumours of epithelial and neuroepithelial origin, metastasisation and the abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (neoangiogenesis). Moreover, EGFR inhibitors are useful for the treatment of viral infections in which the virus uses the signal transduction pathway of the EGFR for entering or attacking the cell or for replication or for the reaction of the host to the virus.
The compounds according to the invention are also useful for preventing and treating diseases of the airways and lungs which are accompanied by increased or altered production of mucus caused by stimulation of tyrosine kinases, e.g. in inflammatory diseases of the airways such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, α1-antitrypsin deficiency, or coughs, pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and hyperreactive airways. The compounds are also useful for treating viral or bacterial complications and for treating viral or bacterial infections of the airways or lungs when tyrosine kinase is activated during the entry, replication or tissue reaction of the host.
The compounds are also suitable for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and bile duct and gall bladder which are associated with disrupted activity of the tyrosine kinases, such as may be found e.g. in chronic inflammatory changes such as cholecystitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract or such as may occur in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract which are associated with increased secretions, such as Menetrier's disease, secreting adenomas and protein loss syndrome.
In addition, the compounds of general formula I and the physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used to treat other diseases caused by abnormal function of tyrosine kinases, such as e.g. epidermal hyperproliferation (psoriasis), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), inflammatory processes, diseases of the immune system, hyperproliferation of haematopoietic cells, the treatment of nasal polyps, etc.
