Description

This application is a National Stage Application filed under 35 U.S.C. §371 based on International Application No. PCT/EP2008/001682, filed Mar. 4, 2008, which claims priority to German Patent Application Number 102007012645.1, filed Mar. 16, 2007, the entire contents each of which are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing applications, and all documents cited therein and all documents cited or referenced therein, and all documents cited or referenced herein, including any U.S. or foreign patents or published patent applications, International patent applications, as well as, any non-patent literature references and any manufacturer's instructions, are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.


The invention relates to substituted imidazo- and triazolopyrimidines and processes for their preparation, and their use for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular of haematological disorders, preferably of leukopenias and neutropenias.


Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) belongs to the families of serine/threonin kinases. Specific substrates are inter alia cytoskeletal proteins and transcription factors. Two isoforms, GSK3α and GSK3β, have been identified to date (Woodgett J R., Trends Biochem. Sci. (1991), 16(5), 177-81). Both isoforms are constitutively active in chiefly resting, non-proliferating cells.


GSK3β is of central importance within the Wnt/Wingless signal transduction pathway. The latter is one of the most important, evolutionarily conserved signalling systems. Wnt signals control very early patterning processes during embryogenesis, they induce mesoderm formation and many organs, and they control the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells (Wodarz A., Nusse R., Annu. Rev. Cell Dev. Biol. (1998), 14, 59-88; Kirstetter et al., Nat. Immunol. (2006), 7(10), 1048-56). There is intracellular compartmentalization of the Wnt signalling pathway, thus making it possible to control a wide variety of processes. Within the Wnt cascade, glycogen synthase kinase 3 forms part of a multiprotein complex to which belong inter alia the structural molecules axin, the tumour suppressor protein APC and the transcription cofactor β-catenin. In this connection, β-catenin is the principal substrate of GSK3β. The consequence of this GSK3β-mediated phosphorylation is the proteasomal degradation of β-catenin Inhibition of GSK3-activity leads to an accumulation of β-catenin in the cell with subsequent translocation into the cell nucleus. There, β-catenin acts as a cofactor in transcription complexes and thus is partly responsible for the expression of defined target genes.


Radiotherapies or chemotherapies are among the standard approaches to controlling cancer. Both types of therapy are nonspecific in relation to their target cells, i.e. not only tumour cells but also untransformed, proliferating cells are affected. These untransformed, proliferating cells also include haematopoietic progenitor cells which develop inter alia into neutrophilic granulocytes. A significant reduction in the number of neutrophils is referred to as neutropenia. A neutropenia induced by chemotherapy or radiotherapy results clinically in an increased susceptibility to infection. If the neutropenia is substantial there is an increase in the morbidity and, in some circumstances, also the mortality of a therapy (O′Brien et al., British Journal of Cancer (2006), 95, 1632-1636).


Inhibition of GSK3 activity leads to an increased rate of proliferation and differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells and can accordingly be utilized for therapeutic intervention in relation to a therapy-induced neutropenia.


WO2006/044687 describes the use of imidazopyrimidinylamines as kinase inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and WO01/083485 discloses imidazo- and triazolopyrimidines inter alia for the treatment of asthma and cancer. WO2005/044793 discloses inter alia the use of imidazopyrimidinylamines as CRF (corticotropin releasing factor) receptor antagonists for the treatment of depressions.


One object of the present invention is therefore to provide novel compounds as GSK3β inhibitors for the treatment of haematological disorders, preferably of neutropenia in humans and animals.


The invention relates to compounds of the formula

The compounds of the invention can act systemically and/or locally. For this purpose, they can be administered in a suitable way such as, for example, by the oral, parenteral, pulmonary, nasal, sublingual, lingual, buccal, rectal, dermal, transdermal, conjunctival or otic route or as implant or stent.


The compounds of the invention can be administered in administration forms suitable for these administration routes.


Suitable for oral administration are administration forms which function according to the prior art and deliver the compounds of the invention rapidly and/or in modified fashion, and which contain the compounds of the invention in crystalline and/or amorphized and/or dissolved form, such as, for example, tablets (uncoated or coated tablets, for example having enteric coatings or coatings which are insoluble or dissolve with a delay and control the release of the compound of the invention), tablets which disintegrate rapidly in the mouth, or films/wafers, films/lyophilizates, capsules (for example hard or soft gelatin capsules), sugar-coated tablets, granules, pellets, powders, emulsions, suspensions, aerosols or solutions.


Parenteral administration can take place with avoidance of an absorption step (e.g. intravenous, intraarterial, intracardiac, intraspinal or intralumbar) or with inclusion of an absorption (e.g. intramuscular, subcutaneous, intracutaneous, percutaneous or intraperitoneal). Administration forms suitable for parenteral administration are, inter alia, preparations for injection and infusion in the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsions, lyophilizates or sterile powders.


Oral administration is preferred.


Suitable for the other administration routes are, for example, pharmaceutical forms for inhalation (inter alia powder inhalers, nebulizers), nasal drops, solutions, sprays; tablets for lingual, sublingual or buccal administration, films/wafers or capsules, suppositories, preparations for the ears or eyes, vaginal capsules, aqueous suspensions (lotions, shaking mixtures), lipophilic suspensions, ointments, creams, transdermal therapeutic systems (such as, for example, patches), milk, pastes, foams, dusting powders, implants or stents.


The compounds of the invention can be converted into the stated administration forms. This can take place in a manner known per se by mixing with inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients. These excipients include, inter alia, carriers (for example microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, mannitol), solvents (e.g. liquid polyethylene glycols), emulsifiers and dispersants or wetting agents (for example sodium dodecyl sulphate, polyoxysorbitan oleate), binders (for example polyvinylpyrrolidone), synthetic and natural polymers (for example albumin), stabilizers (e.g. antioxidants such as, for example, ascorbic acid), colours (e.g. inorganic pigments such as, for example, iron oxides) and masking flavours and/or odours.


The present invention further relates to medicaments which comprise at least one compound of the invention, preferably together with one or more inert, non-toxic, pharmaceutically suitable excipients, and to the use thereof for the aforementioned purposes.


It has generally proved advantageous on parenteral administration to administer amounts of about 5 to 500 mg every 24 hours to achieve effective results. The amount on oral administration is about 5 to 500 mg every 24 hours.


It may nevertheless be necessary where appropriate to deviate from the stated amounts, in particular as a function of the body weight, route of administration, individual response to the active ingredient, nature of the preparation and time or interval over which administration takes place.


The percentage data in the following tests and examples are, unless indicated otherwise, percentages by weight; parts are parts by weight. Solvent ratios, dilution ratios and concentration data of liquid/liquid solutions are in each case based on volume. The statement “w/v” means “weight/volume”. Thus, for example, “10% w/v” means: 100 ml of solution or suspension comprise 10 g of substance.

B) Assessment of the Physiological Activity


The suitability of the compounds according to the invention for treating haematological disorders can be shown in the following assay systems:


In Vitro Assay


The inhibitory activity of active substances is determined in a biochemical assay. The ingredients required for this purpose are mixed in a black 384-well microtitre plate with transparent base (from Greiner, catalogue number 781092). The requirements in this connection for each well of the 384-well microtitre plate are 5 nM GSK3β (from Upstate, catalogue number xy), 40 μM GSK3B substrate GSM (sequence H-RRRPASVPPSPSLSRHS-(pS)-HQRR, from Upstate, catalogue number 2-533), 30 μM nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NADH (Roche Diagnostics, catalogue number 10107735), 50 μM adenosine triphosphate ATP (from Sigma, catalogue number A7966), and 2 mM phosphoenolpyruvate (from Roche, catalogue number 128112). The required reaction buffer in which the biochemical reaction takes place consists of 50 mM Trizma hydrochloride tris-HCl pH: 7.5 (from Sigma, catalogue number T3253), 5 mM magnesium chloride MgCl2 (from Sigma, catalogue number M8266), 0.2 mM DL-dithiothreitol DTT (from Sigma, catalogue number D9779), 2 mM ethylenediaminethertetraacid EDTA (from Sigma, catalogue number E6758), 0.01% Triton X-100 (from Sigma, catalogue number T8787) and 0.05% bovine serum albumin BSA (from Sigma, catalogue number B4287).


Active substances are dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide DMSO (from Sigma, catalogue number D8418) in a concentration of 10 mM. Active substances are added in serial concentrations of 10 μM, 1 μM, 0.1 μM, 0.01 μM, 0.001 μM, 0.0001 μM, 0.00001 μM, 0.000001 μM to the mixtures of the biochemical reaction. As control, dimethyl sulphoxide is added instead of substance in a final concentration of 0.1%.


The reaction is incubated at 30° C. for 2 hours and then the resulting fluorescence is measured in a Tecan Safire-XFLUOR4 instrument, version V4.50 (serial number 12901300283) with the specifications: measurement mode—fluorescence measured from below, extinction wavelength 340 nm, emission wavelength 465 nm, slit width extinction 5 nm, slit width emission 5 nm, gain mode 120, delay 0 μs, number of light flashes per measurement 3, and an integration time of 40 μs.


The GSK3β activity is measured in fluorescence units, with the values of uninhibited kinase being set equal to 100% and of completely inhibited kinase set equal to 0%. The activity of the active substances is calculated in relation to these 0% and 100%.

CD34+ Proliferation Assays for Testing GSK3β Inhibitors


Adult haematopoietic stem cells are characterized by the specific expression of membrane-associated proteins. These surface markers are provided with an appropriate number appropriate for their molecular weight. This class also includes the molecule which is referred to as CD34 and which serves for the identification, characterization and isolation of adult haematopoietic stem cells. These stem cells can moreover be isolated from bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. These cells have limited viability in in vitro cultures but can be stimulated to proliferation and differentiation by various additions to the culture medium. CD34-positive cells are used here in order to test the influence of substances on the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3. For this purpose, in a first step, mononuclear cells are isolated from umbilical cord blood by differential centrifugation steps.


For this purpose, umbilical cord blood is diluted 1:4 with phosphate-buffered saline solution. 50 milliliter centrifugation vessels are charged with 17 milliliters of Ficoll (density 1.077, Ficoll Paque Plus; Pharmacia, catalogue number 17-1440-02). 30 milliliters of the 1:4 diluted umbilical cord blood are layered thereon and then centrifuged at 400×g at room temperature for 30 minutes. The brakes of the centrifuge are disengaged during this. Owing to the centrifugation, the mononuclear cells collect in the interphase. This is removed with the aid of a 30 milliliter pipette and transferred into a new 50 milliliter centrifugation vessel, and the volume is then made up to 30 ml with phosphate-buffered saline solution. These cells are centrifuged at 300×g with the brake engaged at room temperature for 10 minutes. The supernatant is discarded and the resulting cell pellet is resuspended in 30 milliliters of phosphate-buffered saline solution. These cells are again centrifuged at 200×g with brake engaged at 20° C. for 15 minutes.


To isolate the CD34-positive cells from the enriched mononuclear cells resuspended in a concentration of 1×108 cells per 300 microliters of MACS buffer (0.5% endotoxin-free bovine serum albumin in phosphate-buffered saline solution). 100 microliters of FCR blocking reagent (Miltenyi Biotec, catalogue number 130-046-702) and 100 microliters of CD34 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec, catalogue number 130-046-702) are added. This suspension is incubated at 4° C. for 30 minutes. The cells are then diluted with 20 times the volume of MACS buffer and centrifuged at 300×g for 10 minutes. The supernatant is discarded and the cells are resuspended in 500 microliters of MACS buffer. The cells treated in this way are loaded onto an LS column (Miltenyi Biotec, catalogue number 130-042-401) and purified using a Midi MACS magnet (Miltenyi Biotec, catalogue number 130-042-303).


The number of CD34-positive cells is carried out by counting the cells using a Neubauer chamber. The purity of the cells is determined by standard protocols using the fluorescent activated cell sorting method (Becton Dickinson, BD FACS™ Sample Prep Assistant SPAII Upgrade Kit, catalogue number 337642).


To determine the influence of modulating the GSK3 activity, CD34-positive cells are incubated in a 96-well microtitre plate at 37° C. and 5% carbon dioxide for 7 days and then the proliferation rates are determined on the basis of the cell counts.


For this purpose, 5000 CD34-positive cells are taken in 100 microliters of IMDM medium (Life Technology, catalogue number 12440-046), 10% foetal calf serum (Life Technology, catalogue number 10082-139) and 20 nanograms per milliliter of stem cell factor (R&D, catalogue number 255-SC-010) in each well of a 96 U-bottom well microtitre plate (Greiner Bio-One, catalogue number 650 180). In addition, the cells are also mixed various concentrations of substances dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide (Sigma Aldrich, catalogue number D5879-1L). This entails 4 wells in each case with the stated cell count of 5000 CD34-positive cells per well being provided with 10 micromol, 4 wells with 5 micromol, 4 wells with 2.5 micromol, 4 wells with 1.25 micromol, 4 wells with 0.625 micromol, 4 wells with 0.3125 micromol, 4 wells with 0.156 micromol, 4 wells with 0.078 micromol and as control 4 wells with 0.1% dimethyl sulphoxide as final concentration.


These cells treated in this way are incubated in a cell culture incubator at 37° C. and 5% carbon dioxide for 7 days. The proliferation rate is determined by renewed counting of the cells using a Neubauer counting chamber, with the cells provided only with the stem cell factor being set as 100% value, and all other values being related to this value.


In Vivo Assay


The investigations of the in vivo effect of the compounds according to the invention take place using 6-week old male C57BL/6 mice (Charles River, Sulzfeld, Germany) weighing 18-22 g. These animals are kept appropriate for the species with 12-hour light and dark cycles under constant climatic conditions and with water and mouse feed ad libitum. The concentrations of chemotherapeutics used are administered to the animals in accordance with the manufacturers' statements by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections in the caudal third of the abdomen. The same procedure is applied to the substances relevant to the invention. Blood samples are taken from the retrobulbar venous plexus using Pasteur pipettes. The number of neutrophilic granulocytes is determined completely automatically using flow cytometry systems.
