Description

~1 7 ~7 6 6 PCT~S94111553 W095/12612 L11 ~1 SUBS~ ul~ DI- AND TRIPEPTIDE INHIBITORS
OF PROTEIN:FARNESYL TRANSFERASE

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention pertains to a number of compounds which can be used in the medicinal field to treat, prophylactically or otherwise, uncontrolled or abnormal proliferation of ht1mAn tissues. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a number of compounds which act to inhibit the farnesyl transferase enzyme that has been determined to activate ras proteins which in turn activate cellular divi~ion and are implicated in cancer and restenosis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ras protein (or p21) has been ~x~mi n~d extensively because mutant forms are found in 20~ of most types of human cancer and greater than 50~ of colon and pancreatic carc~nnm~s (Gibbs J.B., Cell, 65:l (l99l), Cartwright T., et al., Chimica Og~i, 10:26 (1992)).
These mutant ras proteins are deficient in the capability for feedback regulation that is present in native ras and this deficiency is associated with their oncogenic action since the ability to stimulate normal cell division can not be controlled by the normal endogenous regulatory cofactors. The recent discovery that the transforming activity of mutant ras is critically dependent on post-translational modifications (Gibbs J., et al., Microbiol. Rev., ~3:171 (1989)) has unveiled an important aspect of ras function and identified novel prospects for cancer therapy.

WO95/l2612 PCT~S94/1l553
2-In addition to cancer, there are other conditions of uncontrolled cellular proliferation that may be related to excessive expression and/or function of native ras proteins. Post surgical vascular restenosis is such a condition. The use of various surgical revascularization techniques such as saphenous vein bypass grafting, endarterectomy and translllm; n~ 1 coronary angioplasty is often accompanied by complications due to uncontrolled growth of neointimal tissue, known as restenosis. The biochemical causes of restenosis are poorly understood and numerous growth factors and protooncogenes have been implicated (Naftilan A.J., et al., Hypertension, 13:706 (1989) and J. Clin. Invest., 83:1419; Gibbons G.H., et al., Hypertension, 14:358 (1989); Satoh T., et al., Mollec.
Cell. Biol., 13:3706 (1993)). The fact that ras proteins are known to be involved in cell division processes makes them a candidate for intervention in many situations where cells are dividing uncontrol-lably. In direct analogy to the inhibition of mutant ras related cancer, blockade of ras dependant processes has the potential to reduce or eliminate the inappropriate tissue proliferation associated with restenosis, particularly in those instances where normal ras expression and/or function is exaggerated by growth stimulatory factors.
Ras functioning is dependent upon the modification of the proteins in order to associate with the inner face of plasma membranes. Unlike other membrane-associated proteins, ras proteins lack conventionaltr~ncm~mhrane or hydrophobic sequences and are initially synthesized in a cytosol soluble form. Ras protein membrane association is triggered by a series of posttranslational processing steps that are signaled by a carboxyl term;n~l amino acid consensus sequence that is recognized by protein:farnesyl transferase.

WO 95/12612 2 1 7 ~ 7 6 ~ PCT/US9~/115~i3 .

This consensus sequence consists of a cysteine residue located four amino acids from the carboxyl term;
followed by two lipophilic amino acids and the C-t~rm;n~l residue. The sulfhydryl group of the cysteine residue is alkylated by farnesyl pyrophosphate in a reaction that is catalyzed by protein:farnesyl transferase. Following prenylation, the C-termln~1 three amino acids are cleaved by an endoproteaQe and the newly exposed alpha-carboxyl group of the prenylated cysteine is methylated by a methyl transferase. The enzymatic processing of ras proteins that begins with farnesylation enables the protein to associate with the cell membrane. Mutational analysis of oncogenic ras proteins indicate that these posttranslational modifications are essential for transforming activity. Replacement of the consensus sequence cysteine residue with other amino acids gives a ras protein that is no longer farnesylated, fails to migrate to the cell membrane and lacks the ability to stimulate cell proliferation (Hancock J.F., et al., Cell, 57:1617 (1989); Scha~er w.R., et al., Science, 245:379 (1989); Casey P.J., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86:8323 (1989)).
Recently, protein:farnesyl transferases (PFTs, also referred to as farnesyl:protein transferaseQ) have been identified and a specific PFT from rat brain was purified to homogeneity (Reiss Y., et al., Bioch. Soc.
Trans., 20:487-88 (1992)). The enzyme was charac-terized as a heterodimer composed of one alpha-subunit (49 kDa) and one beta-subunit (46 kDa), both of which are required for catalytic activity. High level expression of m~mm~lian PFT in a baculovirus system and purification of the recombinant enzyme in active fonm has also been accomplished (Chen W.-J., et al., J. Biol. Chem., 268:9675 (1993)).

PCT~S9411lS53 In light of the foregoing, the discovery that the function of oncogenic ras pro.teins is critically dependent on their posttranslational processing provides a means of cancer chemotherapy through S inhibition of the processing enzymes. The identification and isolation of a protein:farnesyl transferase that catalyzes the addition of a farnesyl group to ras proteins provides a promising target for such intervention. Recently it has been determined that prototypical inhibitors of PFT can inhibit ras processing and reverse cancerous morphology in tumor cell models (Kohl N.E., et al., Science, 260:1934 (1993); James G.L., et al., Science, 260:1937 (1993);
Garcia A.M., et al., J. Biol. Chem., 268:18415 (1993)).
Thus, it is possible to prevent or delay the onset of cellular proliferation in cancers that exhibit mutant ras proteins by blocking PFT. By analogous logic, inhibition of PFT would provide a potential means for controlling cellular proliferation associated with restenosis, especially in those cases wherein the expression and/or function of native ras is overstimulated.

Methodology for the solid phase synthesis of peptides is widely known to those skilled in the art thereof (see, for example:
J.M. Stewart and J.D. Young in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis; Pierce Chemical Co.; Rockford, IL (1984);
Fields G.B. and Noble R.L., Int. J. Peptide Protein ~ç~, 35:161-214 (1990)).
Additionally, the compounds of Formula I may also be prepared by conventional solution peptide synthesis, substituting ~m; n~s, acid chlorides, isocyanates, etc, for amino acid derivatives where appropriate. Methods for solution phase synthesis of peptides are widely known to those skilled in the art (see, for example, M. Bodanszky, Principles of Peptide Synthesia, Springer-Verlag (1984)).
Finally, the compounds of Formula I may be prepared by simultaneous multiple solid phase syntheses using an apparatus described by S. H. DeWitt, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90:6909 (1993), and referred to by the trademark, Diversomer~, both trA~m~rk and apparatus being owned in whole by the Warner-~ambert Company. The multiple solid phase synthesis apparatus is currently the subject of now ab;tn~on~ US Serial 07/958,383 filed October 8, 1992 and pending continuation-in-part US Serial 08/012,557 filed February 2, 1993.
For example (Scheme I below), Fmoc-D-His-Tyr(OBn)-CO2-CH2CH2Si(CH3)3 is linked to 2-Cl-Tr resin using a sterically hindered amine such as DIEA as an HCl scavenger, the Fmoc protecting group is removed with piperidine, the resulting free amino term;ntl~ is acylated with a series of isocyanates, isothiocyanates, activated esters, acid chlorides and the like, the TMS-ethyl ester is cleaved with TBAF, the resulting ~ ~ PCT~Ss4/11553 WO95112612 ~ ~ 70~66 .

free carboxy term;nl~ is activated with a carbodiimide reagent such as EDAC, DCC, or DIC, the activated carboxyl group is reacted with alcohols such as HOBT, NHOS, or pentachlorophenol to give an activated eQter, 5 the activated ester is reacted with a series of amines and the reculting array of compounds of Formula I i8 cleaved from the resin by with hot HOAc or by treatment with TFA at room temperature.
For all three synthetic methods described above appropriate consideration is given to protection and deprotection of reactive functional groups and to the sequence of synthetic steps. Knowledge of the use of common protecting groups and strategy for the assembly of complex organic molecules are within the usual realm of expertise of a practitioner of the art of organic chemistry (see, for example: T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Chçmistry, John Wiley and Sons (l99l); E.J. Corey and X.-M. Cheng, The Logic of Chemical Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (l989)).
The homogeneity and composition of the resulting compounds is verified by reverse-phase-high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), capillary electrophoresis, thin layer chromatography (T~C), proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), amino acid analysis, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) and electrospray mass spectrometry (ES-MS).

pcT~ss~llls53 Wo 95112612 2 ~ 6 6 The compounds of Formula I are capable of further forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. A11 of these forms are within the scope of the present invention.
Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of Formula I include ~alts derived from nontoxic inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, nitric, pho~phoric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, hyd~ofluoric, phosphorous, and the like, as well as the salts derived from nontoxic organic acids, such a~
aliphatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids, phenyl-substituted alkanoic acids, hydroxy alkanoic acids, ~k~nedioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, etc. Such salts thus include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, trifluoroacetate, propionate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, phenylacetate, citrate, lactate, maleate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, and the like.
Also contemplated are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like and gluconate, galacturonate, n-methyl glucamine (see, for example, Berge S.M., et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts," Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1977)).
The acid addition salts of said basic compounds are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Preferably a compound o~ Formula I can be converted to an acidic salt by treating with an aqueous solution of the desired acid, such that the resulting pH is less than 4. The b~ -22-solution can be passed through a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious amounts of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent such as, for example, methanol, acetonitrile, and the like, and isolated by concentrating under reduced pressure followed by lyophilization. The free base form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with a base and isolating the free base in the conventional manner or as above. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free base for purposes of the present invention.
Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylene~'~m;n~, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, dicyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylgluc~m;ne, and procaine (see, for example, Berge S.M., et al., "Pharmaceutical Salts", Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66:1-19 (1977)).
The base addition salts of said acidic compounds are prepared by contacting the free acid form with a sufficient amount of the desired base to produce the salt in the conventional manner. Preferably, a compound of Formula I can be converted to a base salt by treating with an aqueous solution of the desired base, such that the resulting pH is greater than 9.
The solution can be passed through a C18 cartridge to absorb the compound, washed with copious amounts of water, the compound eluted with a polar organic solvent such as, for example, methanol, acetonitrile and the PCT~S94/11553 Wo95112612 2 1 7 0 7 6 6 like, and i~olated by concentrating under reduced pressure followed by lyophilization. The free acid ~ form may be regenerated by contacting the salt form with an acid and isolating the free acid in the con~entional manner or as above. The free acid forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to their respective free acid for purposes of the present invention.
Certain of the compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated ~orms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms, are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
Certain of the compounds of the present invention possess one or more chiral centers and each center may exist in the R(D) or S(L) configuration. The present invention includes all enantiomeric and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereo~.
The PFT inhibitory activity of compounds o~

phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. Assays were performed in 96 well plates (Wallec) and employed solutions composed of varying concentrations of a compound of Formula I in lO0~ DMS0. Upon addition of both substrates, radiolabeled ~arnesyl pyrophosphate (rl-3~], specific activity 15-30 Ci/mmol, final concentration 0.12 ~M) and (biotinyl)-Ahe-Tyr-Lys-Cys-Val-Ile-Met peptide (final concentration O.l ~M), the enzyme reaction was started by addition of 40-fold purified rat brain farnesyl protein transferase. After incubation at 37C for 30 minutes, the reaction was ~ 7 ~1 6~

H3P04, 0.5~ BSA, and strepavidin beads (Amersham) at a concentration of 1.3 mg/m~. After allowing the plate to settle for 30 minutes at room temperature, radioactivity was quantitated on a microBeta counter (model 1450, Wallec). Compounds of Formula I show IC50 values of 0.5 nM to 80 ~M (see data table) in this assay and are thus valuable inhibitors of protein:

Thus, the compounds of the present invention can be A~mi n; gtered by injection, that is, intravenously, intramuscularly, intracutaneously, subcutaneously, intraduodenally, or intraperitoneally. Also, the compounds of the present invention can be A~ml n; stered by inhalation, for example, intranasally. Additionally, the compounds of the present invention can be administered transdermally. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of Formula I or a corresponding phArm~ceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula I.
For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds of the present invention, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid.
Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, pills, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and dispersible granules. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, binders, preservatives, tablet disintegrating agents, or an encapsulating material.

pcT~ss~ 553 ~ 2 1 70766 In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in a mixture with ~he finely di~ided active component.
In tablets, the active component is mixed with the carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired.
The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or lO to about 70 percent of the active compound.
Sui~able carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as a carrier providing a capsule in which the active component with or without other carriers, is surrounded by a carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets and lozenges are included. Tablet~, powders, capsules, pills, cachets, and lozenges can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral ~m; n; gtration.
For preparing suppositories, a low melting wax, such as a mixture of fatty acid glycerides or cocoa butter, is first melted and the active component is dispersed homogeneously therein, as by stirring. The molten homogenous mixture i5 then poured into convenient sized molds, allowed to cool, and thereby to ~olidify.
Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions, for example, water or water propylene glycol solutions. For parenteral injection liquid preparations can be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution.
Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water WO9S112612 PCT~S9~111553 .

1 ~1 6 ~ -28-and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing and thickening agents as desired.
Aqueous suspensions suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, such as natural or synthetic gums, resins, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and other well-known suspending agents .
Also included are solid form preparations which are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for oral A~m; n; stration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. These preparations may contain, in addition to the active component, colorants, flavors, stabilizers, buffers, artificial and natural sweeteners, dispersants, thickeners, solubilizing agents, and the like.
The phAr~Aceutical preparation is preferably in unit dosage form. In such ~orm the preparation is subdivided into unit doses contA;n;ng appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package contA i nl ng discrete quantities of preparation, such as packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Also, the unit dosage form can be a capsules, tablet, cachet, or lozenge itself, or it can be the appropriate number of any of these in packaged form.
The quantity of active component in a unit dose preparation may be varied or adjusted from O.l mg to lO0 mg preferably 0.5 mg to lO0 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active component. The composition can, if desired, also contain other compatible therapeutic agents.
In therapeutic use as inhibitors of PFT, the compounds utilized in the phanmaceutical methods of WO 95/1~612 _, ~ 6 6 this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg daily. A daily dose range of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and ~m~ n; stered in port:ions during the day, if desired.
The following nonlimiting examples illustrate the inventors' preferred methods for preparing the compounds of the invention. For added clarity, complex chemical names describing compounds of Formula I are followed by structural abbreviations, which are shown in braces, wherein the structural elements are as defi~ed in the Table of Abbreviations above.

Using an ABI model 431A solid phase peptide synthesizer, Fmoc-NH2-Rink resin (0.25 mmol scale) was treated with 20~ piperidine in NMP to afford NH2-Rink resin. Sequential coupling of Fmoc-protected Ser(OBn) and Tyr(OBn) (DCC and HOBT in NMP) and Fmoc deprotection (20~ piperidine in NMP) reactions were run using a 4-fold excess of reagents in the coupling steps and traditional resin washing cycles to afford Tyr(OBn)-Ser(OBn)-CONH2-Rink resin. This dipeptide PCT~S94/11553 ~lQ16~ ' --resin was transferred to an uninstrumented reaction vessel and treated with a 4-fold excess of Cbz-His, DCC, and HOBT in DMF, shaking overnight at room temperature. After removal of excess reagents, the resulting substituted tripeptide was cleaved from the resin by treatment with 50~ TFA in DCM at room temperature for 2.5 hours. Evaporation of solvents and purification by reversed phase chromatography (Cl8-column, eluted with a 20-70~ gradient of MeCN in water (both solvents acidi~ied with 0.l~ TFA) afforded Cbz-His-Tyr(OBn)-Ser(OBn)-CONH2 as its TFA salt upon lyophilization.
