Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to compounds having methionine aminopeptidase-2 inhibitory (MetAP2) activity useful for treating cancer and other conditions which arise from or are exacerbated by angiogenesis, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, methods of treatment using the compounds, methods of inhibiting angiogenesis, and methods of treating cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Angiogenesis is the fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed and is essential to a variety of normal body activities (such as reproduction, development, and wound repair). Although the process is not completely understood, it is believed to involve a complex interplay of molecules which both stimulate and inhibit the growth of endothelial cells, the primary cells of the capillary blood vessels. Under normal conditions these molecules appear to maintain the microvasculature in a quiescent state (i.e., one of no capillary growth) for prolonged periods that may last for weeks, or in some cases, decades. However, when necessary, such as during wound repair, these same cells can undergo rapid proliferation and turnover within as little as five days.

[0004] Although angiogenesis is a highly regulated process under normal conditions, many diseases (characterized as “angiogenic diseases”) are driven by persistent unregulated angiogenesis. Otherwise stated, unregulated angiogenesis may either cause a particular disease directly or exacerbate an existing pathological condition.

[0005] As the literature has established a causal link between inhibition of MetAP2 and the resultant inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis (see Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 6099-6103 (1997) and Chemistry and Biology, 4(6): 461-471 (1997)), it can be inferred that compounds which inhibit MetAP2 could serve as angiogenesis inhibitors.

[0173] Because carbon-carbon double bonds exist in the present compounds, the invention contemplates various geometric isomers and mixtures thereof resulting from the arrangement of substituents around these carbon-carbon double bonds. It should be understood that the invention encompasses both isomeric forms, or mixtures thereof, which possess the ability to inhibit angiogenesis. These substituents are designated as being in the E or Z configuration wherein the term “E” represents higher order substituents on opposite sides of the carbon-carbon double bond, and the term “Z” represents higher order substituents on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond.

[0174] In accordance with methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, the compounds can be administered alone or in combination with other anticancer agents. When using the compounds, the specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon factors such as the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the particular compound used; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex, and diet of the patient; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the compound employed; the duration of treatment; and drugs used in combination with or coincidently with the compound used. The compounds can be administered orally, parenterally, osmotically (nasal sprays), rectally, vaginally, or topically in unit dosage formulations containing carriers, adjuvants, diluents, vehicles, or combinations thereof. The term “parenteral” includes infusion as well as subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, and intrasternal injection.

[0175] Parenterally administered aqueous or oleaginous suspensions of the compounds can be formulated with dispersing, wetting, or suspending agents. The injectable preparation can also be an injectable solution or suspension in a diluent or solvent. Among the acceptable diluents or solvents employed are water, saline, Ringer's solution, buffers, monoglycerides, diglycerides, fatty acids such as oleic acid, and fixed oils such as monoglycerides or diglycerides.

[0176] The antiangiogenic effect of parenterally administered compounds can be prolonged by slowing their absorption. One way to slow the absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising suspensions of crystalline, amorphous, or otherwise water-insoluble forms of the compound. The rate of absorption of the compound is dependent on its rate of dissolution which is, in turn, dependent on its physical state. Another way to slow absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising the compound as an oleaginous solution or suspension. Yet another way to slow absorption of a particular compound is administering injectable depot forms comprising microcapsule matrices of the compound trapped within liposomes, microemulsions, or biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide, polyorthoesters or polyanhydrides. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer and the composition of the polymer, the rate of drug release can be controlled.

[0177] Transdermal patches can also provide controlled delivery of the compounds. The rate of absorption can be slowed by using rate controlling membranes or by trapping the compound within a polymer matrix or gel. Conversely, absorption enhancers can be used to increase absorption.

[0178] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In these solid dosage forms, the active compound can optionally comprise diluents such as sucrose, lactose, starch, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates, polyamide powder, tableting lubricants, and tableting aids such as magnesium stearate or microcrystalline cellulose. Capsules, tablets and pills can also comprise buffering agents, and tablets and pills can be prepared with enteric coatings or other release-controlling coatings. Powders and sprays can also contain excipients such as talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate, polyamide powder, or mixtures thereof. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons or substitutes therefore.

[0179] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs comprising inert diluents such as water. These compositions can also comprise adjuvants such as wetting, emulsifying, suspending, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

[0180] Topical dosage forms include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, and transdermal patches. The compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers. These dosage forms can also include excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration can be prepared by mixing the compounds with a suitable non-irritating excipient such as cocoa butter or polyethylene glycol, each of which is solid at ordinary temperature but fluid in the rectum or vagina. Ophthalmic formulations comprising eye drops, eye ointments, powders, and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.

[0181] The total daily dose of the compounds administered to a host in single or divided doses can be in amounts from about 0.1 to about 200 mg/kg body weight or preferably from about 0.25 to about 100 mg/kg body weight. Single dose compositions can contain these amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose.

[0182] Determination of Biological Activity

[0183] Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 6099-6103 (1997) and Chemistry and Biology, 4(6): 461-471 (1997) report that both AGM-1470 and ovalicin, a sequiterpene isolated from the fungus Pseudorotium ocalis have been found to bind to a common bifunctional protein, type 2-methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP-2) and conclude that MetAP2 plays a critical role in the proliferation of endothelial cells and may serve as a promising target for the development of new anti-angiogenic drugs.

[0184] Assays for the inhibition of catalytic activity of MetAP2 were performed in 96-well microtiter plates. Compounds to be tested (compounds of formula (I) where R2 is hydrogen) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide at 10 mM and diluted ten-fold in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 125 mM NaCl). Ten microliters of solution of each compound to be tested for inhibition were introduced into each cell of the plate. Zero inhibition of enzyme activity was taken to be the result obtained in cells in which 10 μL of assay buffer was placed. A mixture totaling 90 μL per well and made up of 84 μL of assay buffer, 1 μL of L-amino acid oxidase (Sigma Catalog No. A-9378, 11 mg/mL), 1 μL of horseradish peroxidase (Sigma Catalog No. P-8451, dissolved in assay buffer at a concentration of 10 mg/mL), 1 μL of the tripeptide Met-Ala-Ser (Bachem) dissolved in assay buffer at concentration of 50 mM, 1 μL of ortho-dianisidine (Sigma Catalog No. D-1954, freshly made solution in water at a concentration of 10 mg/mL), and MetAP2 at a final concentration of 8 nM was rapidly mixed and added to each cell containing test or control compound. The absorbance at 450 nanometers was measured every 20 seconds over a period of twenty minutes using an automatic plate reader (Molecular Devices, CA, USA). The Vmax in mOD/min, calculated for each well, was used to represent MetAP2 activity. The IC50 for each inhibitor was obtained by plotting the remaining activity versus inhibitor concentrations. Representative compounds of the present invention had IC50's between about 0.005 μM and >100 μM. Preferred compounds of the present invention had IC50's between about 0.005 μM and about 10 μM. Most preferred compounds had IC50's of between about 0.005 μM and about 0.1 μM.

[0185] As the literature has established a causal link between inhibition of MetAP2 and the resultant inhibition of endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis (see Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 6099-6103 (1997) and Chemistry and Biology, 4(6): 461-471 (1997)), it can be inferred that the compounds of the invention, including, but not limited to those specified in the examples, possess antiangiogenic activity. As angiogenesis inhibitors, such compounds are useful in the treatment of both primary and metastatic solid tumors, including carcinomas of breast, colon, rectum, lung, oropharynx, hypopharynx, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder and bile ducts, small intestine, urinary tract (including kidney, bladder, and urothelium), female genital tract (including cervix, uterus, and ovaries as well as choriocarcinoma and gestational trophoblastic disease), male genital tract (including prostate, seminal vesicles, testes, and germ cell tumors), endocrine glands (including the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands), and skin, as well as hemangiomas, melanomas, sarcomas (including those arising from bone and soft tissues as well as Kaposi's sarcoma) and tumors of the brain, nerves, eyes, and meninges (including astrocytomas, gliomas, glioblastomas, retinoblastomas, neuromas, neuroblastomas, Schwannomas, and meningiomas). Such compounds may also be useful in treating solid tumors arising from hematopoietic malignancies such as leukemias (i.e., chloromas, plasmacytomas and the plaques and tumors of mycosis fungicides and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma/leukemia) as well as in the treatment of lymphomas (both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas). In addition, these compounds may be useful in the prevention of metastases from the tumors described above either when used alone or in combination with radiotherapy and/or other chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, the compounds of the invention can be used in the prevention of cancer (chemo prevention). The compounds of the invention can also be useful in the treatment of the aforementioned conditions by mechanisms other than the inhibition of angiogenesis.

[0186] Further uses include the treatment and prophylaxis of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid, immune and degenerative arthritis; psoriatic arthritis; various ocular diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, corneal graft rejection, retrolental fibroplasia, neovascular glaucoma, rubeosis, retinal neovascularization due to macular degeneration, hypoxia, angiogenesis in the eye associated with infection or surgical intervention, and other abnormal neovascularization conditions of the eye; skin diseases such as psoriasis; blood vessel diseases such as hemagiomas, and capillary proliferation within atherosclerotic plaques; endometriosis; obesity; systemic sclerosis; juvenile angiofibroma; septic shock; cerebral edema (from head trauma); Osler-Webber Syndrome; myocardial angiogenesis; plaque neovascularization; telangiectasia; hemophiliac joints; angiofibroma; and wound granulation. Other uses include the treatmnent of diseases characterized by excessive or abnormal stimulation of endothelial cells, including not limited to intestinal adhesions, Crohn's disease, atherosclerosis, scleroderma, and hypertrophic scars, i.e., keloids. Another use is as a birth control agent, by inhibiting ovulation and establishment of the placenta. The compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of diseases that have angiogenesis as a pathologic consequence such as cat scratch disease (Rochele minutesalia quintosa) and ulcers (Helicobacter pylori). The compounds of the invention are also useful to reduce bleeding by administration prior to surgery, especially for the treatment of resectable tumors.

[0187] As MetAP2 inhibitors, the compounds of the invention also have use as antibacterial, antimalarial, and antileishmaniasis agents.
