Description

- 1 SULFONYL AMIDE DERIVATIVES FOR THE TREATMENT OF ABNORMAL CELL GROWTH The present application is a divisional application of Australian Application No: 2008240359, which is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference. 5 Background of the Invention Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field. This invention relates to novel sulfonyl amide derivatives that are useful in the 0 treatment of abnormal cell growth, such as cancer, in mammals. This invention also relates to a method of using such compounds in the treatment of abnormal cell growth in mammals, especially humans, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. It is known that a cell may become cancerous by virtue of the transformation of 5 a portion of its DNA into an oncogene (i.e., a gene which, on activation, leads to the formation of malignant tumor cells). Many oncogenes encode proteins that are aberrant tyrosine kinases capable of causing cell transformation. Alternatively, the overexpression of a normal proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinase may also result in proliferative disorders, sometimes resulting in a malignant phenotype. 20 Receptor tyrosine kinases are enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion which functions as a kinase to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residues in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation. Other receptor tyrosine kinases include c-erbB-2, c-met, tie-2, 25 PDGFr, FGFr, and VEGFR. It is known that such kinases are frequently aberrantly expressed in common human cancers such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer such as colon, rectal or stomach cancer, leukemia, and ovarian, bronchial or pancreatic cancer. It has also been shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which possesses tyrosine kinase activity, is mutated and/or overexpressed in - 1a many human cancers such as brain, lung, squamous cell, bladder, gastric, breast, head and neck, oesophageal, gynecological and thyroid tumors. Accordingly, it has been recognized that inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases are useful as selective inhibitors of the growth of mammalian cancer cells. For 5 example, erbstatin, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, selectively attenuates the growth in athymic nude mice of a transplanted human mammary carcinoma that expresses epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) but is without effect on the growth of another carcinoma that does not express the EGF receptor. Thus, selective inhibitors of certain receptor tyrosine kinases, are useful in the treatment of abnormal 0 cell growth, in -2 particular cancer, in mammals. In addition to receptor tyrosine kinases, selective inhibitors of certain non-receptor tyrosine kinases, such as FAK (focal adhesion kinase), Ick, src, abl or serine/threonine kinases (e.g., cyclin dependent kinases), are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth, in particular cancer, in mammals. FAK is also 5 known as the Protein-Tyrosine Kinase 2, PTK2. Convincing evidence suggests that FAK, a cytoplasmic, non-receptor tyrosine kinase, plays an essential role in cell-matrix signal transduction pathways (Clark and Brugge 1995, Science 268: 233-239) and its aberrant activation is associated with an increase in the metastatic potential of tumors (Owens et al. 1995, Cancer Research 55: 10 2752-2755). FAK was originally identified as a 125 kDa protein highly tyrosine phosphorylated in cells transformed by v-Src. FAK was subsequently found to be a tyrosine kinase that localizes to focal adhesions, which are contact points between cultured cells and their underlying substratum and sites of intense tyrosine phosphorylation. FAK is phosphorylated and, thus, activated in response to extracellular 15 matrix (ECM)-binding to integrins. Recently, studies have demonstrated that an increase in FAK mRNA levels accompanied invasive transformation of tumors and attenuation of the expression of FAK (through the use of antisense oligonucleotides) induces apoptosis in tumor cells (Xu et al. 1996, Cell Growth and Diff. 7: 413-418). In addition to being expressed in most tissue types, FAK is found at elevated levels in most 20 human cancers, particularly in highly invasive metastases. Various compounds, such as styrene derivatives, have also been shown to possess tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. Five European patent publications, namely EP 0 566 226 Al (published October 20,1993), EP 0 602 851 Al (published June 22, 1994), EP 0 635 507 Al (published January 25, 1995), EP 0 635 498 Al 25 (published January 25, 1995), and EP 0 520 722 Al (published December 30, 1992), refer to certain bicyclic derivatives, in particular quinazoline derivatives, as possessing anti-cancer properties that result from their tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. Also, World Patent Application WO 92/20642 (published November 26, 1992), refers to certain bis-mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds as tyrosine kinase 30 inhibitors that are useful in inhibiting abnormal cell proliferation. World Patent Applications W096/16960 (published June 6, 1996), WO 96/09294 (published March 6, 1996), WO 97/30034 (published August 21, 1997), WO 98/02434 (published January 22, 1998), WO 98/02437 (published January 22, 1998), and WO 98/02438 (published January 22, 1998), also refer to substituted bicyclic heteroaromatic derivatives as -3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors that are useful for the same purpose. In addition, the following list of publications relate to bis-mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds that may optionally be used as tyrosine kinase inhibitors: WO 03/030909, WO 03/032997, US Patent Application Publication No. 5 2003/0181474, US Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0162802, US Patent No. 5,863,924, WO 03/078404, US Patent No. 4,507146, WO 99/41253, WO 01/72744, WO 02/48133, US Patent Application Publication No. 2002/156087, WO 02/102783, and WO 03/063794. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20040220177 relates to a broad 10 class of novel pyrimidine derivatives that are kinase inhibitors, and more specifically, inhibitors of FAK. Moreover, U.S. Patent No. 7,109,335 relates more specifically to a subset of pyrimidine derivatives, i.e., those bearing a 5 aminooxindole, which are tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and more particularly, FAK inhibitors. Compounds such as these are useful in the treatment of abnormal 15 cell growth. Accordingly, a need exists for additional selective inhibitors of certain receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases, useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth, such as cancer, in mammals. The present invention provides novel sulfonyl amide derivatives that are kinase inhibitors and inhibitors of the non 20 receptor tyrosine kinase, FAK, Aurora (e.g., Aurora-1 and Aurora-2), Pyk, HgK, and are useful in the treatment of abnormal cell growth.

Such non toxic base salts include, but are not limited to those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations such as alkali metal cations (e.g., potassium and sodium) and alkaline earth metal cations (e.g., calcium and magnesium), ammonium or water-soluble amine 30 addition salts such as N-methyiglucamine-(meglumine), and the lower alkanolammonium and other base salts of pharmaceutically acceptable organic amines. Suitable base salts are formed from bases which form non-toxic salts. Non limiting examples of suitable base salts include the aluminum, arginine, benzathine, -45 calcium, choline, diethylamine, diolamine, glycine, lysine, magnesium, megiumine, olamine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine and zinc salts. Hemisa Its of acids and bases may also be formed, for example, hemisulphate and hemicalcium salts. 5 For a review on suitable salts, see Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 2002). Methods for making pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of the invention are known to one of skill in the art. This invention also encompasses compounds of the invention containing 10 protective groups. One skilled in the art will also appreciate that compounds of the invention can also be prepared with certain protecting groups that are useful for purification or storage and can be removed before administration to a patient. The protection and deprotection of functional groups is described in "Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", edited by J.W.F. McOmie, Plenum Press (1973) and "Protective 15 Groups in Organic Synthesis", 3rd edition, T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Wiley I nterscience (1999). The compounds of this invention include all stereoisomers (e.g., cis and trans isomers) and all optical isomers of compounds of the invention (e.g., R and S enantiomers), as well as racemic, diastereomeric and other mixtures of such isomers. 20 The compounds, salts and prodrugs of the present invention can exist in several tautomeric forms, including the enol and imine form, and the keto and enamine form and geometric isomers and mixtures thereof. All such tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the present invention. Tautomers exist as mixtures of a tautomeric set in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer predominates. Even though one tautomer 25 may be described, the present invention includes all tautomers of the present compounds. The present invention also includes atropisomers of the present invention. Atropisomers refer to compounds of the invention that can be separated into rotationally restricted isomers. 30 The compounds of this invention may contain olefin-like double bonds. When such bonds are present, the compounds of the invention exist as cis and trans configurations and as mixtures thereof. The compounds of the invention may also exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. Accordingly, the invention also relates to the hydrates and solvates of the compounds of - 46 the invention. Thus, it will be understood that the compounds of formula 1, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof also include hydrates and solvates of said compounds of formula I, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as discussed below. 5 The term "solvate" is used herein to describe a noncovelent or easily reversible combination between solvent and solute, or dispersion means and disperse phase. It will be understood that the solvate can be in the form of a solid, slurry (e.g., a suspension or dispersoid), or solution. Non-limiting examples of solvents include ethanol, methanol, propanol, acetonitrile, dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuan, 10 methylene chloride, and water. The term 'hydrate' is employed when said solvent is water. A currently accepted classification system for organic hydrates is one that defines isolated site, channel, or metal-ion coordinated hydrates - see Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solids by K. R. Morris (Ed. H. G. Brittain, Marcel Dekker, 1995). Isolated 15 site hydrates are ones in which the water molecules are isolated from direct contact with each other by intervening organic molecules. In channel hydrates, the water molecules lie in lattice channels where they are next to other water molecules. In metal-ion coordinated hydrates, the water molecules are bonded to the metal ion. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined 20 stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds, the water/solvent content will be dependent on humidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm. The invention also relates to prodrugs of the compounds of the invention, Thus 25 certain derivatives of compounds of the invention which may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves can, when administered into or onto the body, be converted into compounds of the invention having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as "prodrugs". Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, 30 ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (Ed, E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association). Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of the invention with - 47 certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as 'pro-moieties' as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985). Some non-limiting examples of prodrugs in accordance with the invention include (i) where the compound of the invention contains a carboxylic acid 5 functionality (-COOH), an ester thereof, for example, a compound wherein the hydrogen of the carboxylic acid functionality of the compound of formula (1) is replaced by (C Ce)alkyl; (ii) where the compound of the invention contains an alcohol functionality ( OH), an ether thereof, for example, a compound wherein the hydrogen of the alcohol 10 functionality of the compound of the invention is replaced by (C-Cs)alkanoyloxymethyl; and (iii) where the compound of the invention contains a primary or secondary amino functionality (-NH 2 or -NHR where R # H), an amide thereof, for example, a compound wherein, as the case may be, one or both hydrogen atoms of the amino 15 functionality of the compound of the invention is/are replaced by (C-C 6 )alkanoyl. Further examples of replacement groups in accordance with the foregoing examples and examples of other prodrug types may be found in the aforementioned references. Moreover, certain compounds of the invention may themselves act as prodrugs of 20 other compounds of the invention. Also included within the scope of the invention are metabolites of compounds of the invention, that is, compounds formed in vivo upon administration of the drug. Some examples of metabolites in accordance with the invention include: (i) where the compound of the invention contains a methyl group, an 25 hydroxymethyl derivative thereof (e.g., -CH3 -> -CH 2 OH): (ii) where the compound of the invention contains an alkoxy group, an hydroxy derivative thereof (e.g., -OR 7 -> -OH): (iii) where the compound of the invention contains a tertiary amino group, a secondary amino derivative thereof (e.g., -NR 3

R

4 -> -NHR 3 or -NHR4); 30 (iv) where the compound of the invention contains a secondary amino group, a primary derivative thereof (e.g., -NHR 3 -> -NH 2 ); (v) where the compound of the invention contains a phenyl moiety, a phenol derivative thereof (e.g., -Ph -> -PhOH); and -48 (vi) where the compound of the invention contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid derivative thereof (e.g., -CONH 2 -> COOH). Compounds of the invention containing one or more asymmetric carbon atoms can exist as two or more stereoisomers. Where a compound of the invention contains 5 an alkenyl or alkenylene group, geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers are possible. Where structural isomers are interconvertible via a low energy barrier, tautomeric isomerism ('tautomerism') can occur. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in compounds of the invention containing, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group, or so-called valence tautomerism in compounds which contain an aromatic moiety. It 10 follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism. Included within the scope of the present invention are all stereoisomers, geometric isomers and tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention, including compounds exhibiting more than one type of isomerism, and mixtures of one or more thereof. Also included are acid addition or base salts wherein the counterion is optically 15 active, for example, d-lactate or Mysine, or racemic, for example, dl-tartrate or dl arginine. Cis/trans isomers may be separated by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers 20 include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the 25 compound of the invention contains an acidic or basic moiety, a base or acid such as 1 phenylethylamine or tartaric acid. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to a skilled person. 30 Chiral compounds of the invention (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0 to 50% by volume of an alcoholic solvent such as - 49 isopropanol, typically from 2% to 20%, and from 0 to 5% by volume of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. When any racemate crystallizes, crystals of two different types are possible. The first type is the racemic compound (true racemate) referred to above wherein one 5 homogeneous form of crystal is produced containing both enantiomers in equimolar amounts. The second type is the racemic mixture or conglomerate wherein two forms of crystal are produced in equimolar amounts each comprising a single enantiomer. While both of the crystal forms present in a racemic mixture have identical physical properties, they may have different physical properties compared to the true 10 racemate. Racemic mixtures may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art - see, for example, Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds by E. L. Eliel and S. H. Wilen (Wiley, 1994). In one embodiment, the invention relates to compositions comprising a compound of the invention and at least one additional ingredient (hereinafter "the 15 compositions of the invention"). It will be understood that the compositions of the invention will encompass any combination of the compound of the invention and the at least one additional ingredient. Non-limiting examples of the at least one additional ingredient include impurities (e.g., intermediates present in the unrefined compounds of the invention), active ingredients as discussed herein (e.g., an additional anti-tumor 20 agent), pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, or one or more solvents (e.g., a - pharmaceutically acceptable carder as discussed herein). The term "solvent" as it relates to the compositions of the invention includes organic solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, and tetrahydrofuran) and water. The one or more solvents may be present in a 25 non-stoichiometric amount, e.g., as a trace impurity, or in sufficient excess to dissolve the compound of the invention. Alternatively, the one or more solvents may be present in a stoichiometric amount, e.g., 0.5:1, 1:1, or 2:1 molar ratio, based on the amount of compound of the invention.

Non-limiting methods for making the sulfonyl amides of the invention are depicted in Schemes 1 -6 below. For sake of clarity, only the pyrimidine derivatives of the compounds of formula I are depicted in the Schemes (i.e., where K of the compound of 30 formula I is CH). However, the same methods can be used for making the 1,2,4-triazine derivatives compounds of formula I (i.e., where K is N). Scheme I shows one method for preparing 2,4-diamino pyrimidines.

F.: "Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.' (1998), 37, pp. 2046-2067, Wolfe, J. P.; Wagaw, S.; Marcoux, J. F.; Buchwald, S.L.; 'Acc. Chem. Res.", (1998), 31, pp 805-818, Wolfe, J. P.; Buchwald, S.L.; "J. Org.

Further, as understood by those skilled in the art, these same aryl or heteroaryl 15 amination chemical transformations may alternatively be carried out on nitrile (or primary amide) precursors which provide amines after nitrile (or amide) reduction. Other methods for making the intermediate compounds (e.g. A1-7 in Scheme 1) can be found in U.S. Patent Appi. Publ. No. 20040220177, U.S. Patent No. 7,109,335, U.S. Patent No. 7,10,9,337, and PCT/1B2006/003349, the entire contents of each of the 20 foregoing references being expressly incorporated herein by reference. As noted above, amines comprising the ring moiety A (e.g., A6-4 in Scheme 6) are attached to the 2 position of the pyrimidine core (or the 3 position of the 1,2,4-triazine core). Such amino-ring groups are commercially available or can be made by methods known to those skill in the art. For example, amines comprising alkyl-, hydroxyl-, 25 carboxyl-, and halo-substituted ring moieties are commercially available. In addition, certain of these commercially available amines such as, e.g., the halo- and hydroxyl substituted ring compounds, can be reacted to form other compounds of the invention using the methods described above, in the Examples section, or known to those skilled in the art. Such reactions can be carried out prior to the reaction with pyrimidine core. 30 Alternatively, such reactions can be carried out after the cyclic amine is attached to the C2 position of the pyrimidine core.

Administration of the compounds of the present invention (hereinafter the "active compound(s)") can be effected by any method that enables delivery of the compounds to 5 the site of action. These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), topical, and rectal administration. The amount of the active compound administered will be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the 10 disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is in the range of about 0.001 to about 100 mg per kg body weight per day, preferably about 1 to about 35 mg/kg/day, in single or divided doses. For a 70 kg human, this would amount to about 0.05 to about 7 g/day, preferably about 0.2 to about 2.5 g/day. In some instances, dosage levels below the lower limit of the aforesaid range 15 may be more than adequate, while in other cases still larger doses may be employed without causing any harmful side effect, provided that such larger doses are first divided into several small doses for administration throughout the day. The active compound may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve one or more other anti-tumour substances, for example those selected from, for example, mitotic 20 inhibitors, for example vinblastine; alkylating agents, for example cis-platin, carbopatin and cyclophosphamide; anti-metabolites, for example 5-fluorouracil, cytosine arabinoside and hydroxyurea, or, for example, one of the preferred anti-metabolites disclosed in European Patent Application No. 239362 such as N-(5-[N-(3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4 oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl)-N-methylamino]-2-thenoyl)-L-glutamic acid; growth factor 25 inhibitors; cell cycle inhibitors; intercalating antibiotics, for example adriamycin and bleomycin; enzymes, for example interferon; and anti-hormones, for example anti estrogens such as Nolvadex@ (tamoxifen) or, for example anti-androgens such as Casodex@ (4'-cyano-3-(4-fluorophenylsulphonyl)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3' (trifluoromethyl)propionanilide). Such conjoint treatment may be achieved by way of the 30 simultaneous, sequential or separate dosing of the individual components of the treatment. The pharmaceutical composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained release formulations, solution, suspension, for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for -80 topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository. The pharmaceutical composition may be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. The pharmaceutical composition will include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a compound according to the 5 invention as an active ingredient. In addition, it may include other medicinal or pharmaceutical agents, carriers, adjuvants, etc. Exemplary parenteral administration forms include solutions or suspensions of active compounds in sterile aqueous solutions, for example, aqueous propylene glycol or dextrose solutions. Such dosage forms can be suitably buffered, if desired. 10 Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents or fillers, water and various organic solvents. The pharmaceutical compositions may, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as citric acid may be employed together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex 15 silicates and with binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia. Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials, therefor, include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. When aqueous suspensions 20 or elixirs are desired for oral administration the active compound therein may be combined with various sweetening or flavoring agents, coloring matters or dyes and, if desired, emulsifying agents or suspending agents, together with diluents such as water, ethanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, or combinations thereof.
