Technical Field The present invention relates a method for inhibiting adenosine kinase by administering 6,7-disubstituted-4-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, as well as novel 6,7-disubstituted-4-aminopyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds.
Backeround O~T'JZe Invention Adenosine kinase (ATP:adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.20) is a ubiquitous enzyme which catalyzes the phosphorylation of adenosine to AMP, using ATP, preferentially, as the phosphate source. Adenosine kinase has broad tissue and species distribution, and has been isolated from yeast, a variety of mammalian sources and certain microorganisms. It has been found to be present in virtually every human tissue assayed including kidney, liver, brain, spleen, placenta and pancreas. Adenosine kinase is a key enzyme in the control of the cellular concentrations of adenosine.
Adenosine is a purine nucleoside that is an intermediate in the pathways of purine nucleotide degradation and salvage. Adenosine also has many important physiologic effects, many of which are mediated through the activation of specific ectocellular receptors, termed P 1 receptors (Burnstock, in Cell Membrane Receptors for Drugs and Hormones, 1978, (Bolis and Straub, eds.) Raven, New York, pp. 107-118; Fredholm, et al., Pharrnacol. Rev. 1994, 46: 143-156).
In the central nervous system, adenosine inhibits the release of certain neurotransmitters (Corradetti, et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol.. 1984, 104: 19-26), stabilizes membrane potential (Rudolphi, et al., Cerebrovasc. Brain Metab. Rev. 1992, 4:
346-360)., functions as an endogenous anticonvulsant (Dragunow, Trends Pharmacol. Sci.
1986, 7:
128-130) and may have a role as an endogenous neuroprotective agent (Rudolphi, et al., Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 1992, 13: 439-445). Adenosine may play a role in several disorders of the central nervous system such as schizophrenia, anxiety, depression and Parkinson's disease. (Williams, M., in Psychopharmacc~logy: The Fourth Generation of Progress; Bloom, Kupfer (eds.), Raven Press, New York, 1995, pp 643-655.
Adenosine has also been implicated in modulating transmission in pain pathways in the spinal cord (Sawynok, et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 1986, 88: 923-930), and in mediating the analgesic effects of morphine (Sweeney, et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther.
1987, 243:
657-665). In the immune system, adenosine inhibits certain neutrophil functions and exhibits anti-inflammatory effects (Cronstein, J. Appl. Physiol. 1994, 76: 5-13). An AK

inhibitor has been reported to decrease paw swelling in a model of adjuvant arthritis in rats (Firestein, et.al., Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1993, 36, S48.
Adenosine also exerts a variety of effects on the cardiovascular system, including vasodilation, impairment of atrioventricular conduction and endogenous cardioprotection in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (Mullane and Williams, in Adenosine and Adenosine Receptors, 1990 (Williams, ed.) Humana Press, New Jersey, pp. 289-334). The widespread actions of adenosine also include effects on the renal, respiratory, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems, as well as on blood cells and adipocytes.
Adenosine, via its A1 receptor activation on adipocytes, plays a role in diabetes by inhibiting lipolysis (Londos, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1980, 77, 2551.
Endogenous adenosine release appears to have a role as a natural defense mechanism in various pathophysiologic conditions, including cerebral and myocardial ischemia, seizures, pain, inflammation and sepsis. While adenosine is normally present at low levels in the extracellular space, its release is locally enhanced at the sites) of excessive cellular activity, trauma or metabolic stress. Once in the extracellular space, adenosine activates specific extracellular receptors to elicit a variety of responses which tend to restore cellular function towards normal (Bruns, Nucleosides Nucleotides, 1991, 10: 931-943;
Miller and Hsu, J. Neurotrauma, 1992, 9: S563-S577). Adenosine has a half-life measured in seconds in extracellular fluids (Moser, et al., Am. J. Physiol. 1989, 25: C799-C806), and its endogenous actions are therefore highly localized.
The inhibition of adenosine kinase can result in augmentation of the local adenosine concentrations at foci of tissue injury, further enhancing cytoprotection.
This effect is likely to be most pronounced at tissue sites where uauma results in increased adenosine production, thereby minimizing systemic toxicities.
Pharmacologic compounds directed towards adenosine kinase inhibition provide potentially effective new therapies for disorders benefited by the site- and event-specific potentiation of adenosine. Disorders where such compounds may be useful include ischemic conditions such as cerebral ischemia, myocardial ischemia, angina, coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA), stroke, other thrombotic and embolic conditions, and neurological disorders such as epilepsy, anxiety, schizophrenia, nociperception including pain perception, neuropathic pain, visceral pain, as well as inflammation, arthritis, immunosuppression, sepsis, diabetes and gastrointestinal disfunctions such as abnormal gastrointestinal motility.
A number of compounds have been reported to inhibit adenosine kinase. The most potent of these include 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine (Miller, et al., J. Biol.
Chem. 1979, 254: 2339-2345), 5-iodotubercidin {Wotring and Townsend, Cancer Res. 1979, 39:

3023) and 5'-deoxy-5-iodotubercidin (Davies, et al., Biochem. Pharmacol. 1984, 33: 347-355).
Adenosine kinase is also responsible for the activation of many pharmacologically active nucleosides (Miller, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1979, 254: 2339-2345), including tubercidin, formycin, ribavirin, pyrazofurin and 6-(methylmercapto)purine riboside. These purine nucleoside analogs represent an important group of antimetabolites which possess cytotoxic, anticancer and antiviral properties. They serve as substrates for adenosine kinase and are phosphorylated by the enzyme to generate the active form. The loss of adenosine kinase activity has been implicated as a mechanism of cellular resistance to the pharmacological effects of these nucleoside analogs (e.~~. Bennett, et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 1966, 2: 432-443; Caldwell, et al., Can. J. Biochem., 1967, 45: 735-744;
Suttle, et al., Europ. J. Cancer, 1981, 17: 43-51). Decreased cellular levels of adenosine kinase have also been associated with resistance to the toxic effects of 2'-deoxyadenosine (Hershfield and Kredich, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1980, 77: 4292-4296). The accumulation of deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), derived from the phosphorylation of 2'-deoxyadenosine, has been suggested as a toxic mechanism in the immune defect associated with inheritable adenosine deaminase deficiency (Kredic:h and Hershfleld, in The Metabolic Basis of Inherited Diseases, 1989 (Scryver, et al., eds.), McGraw-Hill, New York, pp.
1045-1075).

Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention further include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or transdermal patches. Transdermal administration via a transdermal patch is a particularly effective and preferred dosage form of the present invention. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservative, buffers or propellants as may be required. It is known that some agents may require special handling in the preparation of transdermal paitch formulations. For example, compounds that are volatile in nature may require admixture with special formulating agents or with special packaging materials to assure proper dosage delivery. In addition, compounds which are very rapidly absorbed through the skin may require formulation with absorption-retarding agents or barriers. Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
The present compounds may also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or mufti-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes may be used. The present compositions in liposome foml may contain, in addition to the compounds of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic.
Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N. Y., (1976), p 33 et seq.
Synthetic Methods The compounds and processes of the present invention will be better understood in connection with the following synthetic Schemes 1 and 2 which illustrate the methods by which the compounds of the invention may be prepared. The groups R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined above unless otherwise noted.

N N tie N~ N ~ Ra In aCCOrdance with Scheme 1 are prepared compounds of Formula (II) wherein Rl and R2 are hydrogen. A starting material, 4,6-diamino-S-iodopyrimidine (1), is reacted with ethenylboronic acid derivatives (2), wherein R3 is loweralkyl, loweralkenyl, loweralkynyl, aryl, arylalkyl, hcoerocyclic or heteroaryl or substituted versions thereof, to prepare compound (3) in the presence of tetrakistriphenylphosphinepalladium(0) or other suitable palladium(0) complexes, and aqueous allcali metal base, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, for example, preferably buffered with an aqueous sodium or potassium bicarbonate at reflux for about 8 to about 24 hours. Compound ( 1 ) may be prepared from 4,6-diaminopyridine by treatment with iodine in DMF at about 40 °C to about 50 °C for about 24 hours in the presence of potassium carbonate.
Compounds of formula (2) may be prepared by reaction of an R3-substituted acetylene with catecholborane in a solvent such as THF. R3-substituted acetylenes may be prepared according to various literature procedures, such as, for example, Van Hijfte et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1989, ~Q 3655; Tao et al., J. Org.Chem., 1990, ,5~: 63; and Rossi et al., Gazz.
Chim. Ital., 1990, 1~: 783-791.
Compound (3) is then reacted with the aldehyde compound (4), wherein R4 is aryl, heteroaryl, or a heterocyclic group, to prepare compound (5) in a suitable anhydrous solvent, under Suzuki reaction conditions, such as Biphenyl ether, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, toluene, or the like, in the presence of 4A molecular sieves to adsorb the water of reaction, at reflux for from about 2 to about 24 hours. Compounds (5) are compounds of Formula (II) wherein R1 and R2 are hydrogen. The compounds prepared according to Scheme 1 may be further treated with a suitable reducing agent such as hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst or other reducing agent to form the 5,6 and/or 7,8 reduced versions of a compound of formula II. In addition, reduction can proceed to form single bonds at the 5,6 and 7,8 positions and a double bond between the 6, 7 carbons. In the former case(s), stereoisomers are formed and are included within the scope of the invention. These isomers may be isolated by conventional means.

N N R4 ~N~ N~ R4 In accordance with Scheme 2, compounds of Formula (II) wherein one or both of R1 and R2 are loweralkyl, arylalkyl or acyl, may be prepared by treatment of compound (5) with the appropriate reagent. To prepare compounds of formula (I) or (II) wherein R1 and R2 are not both hydrogen atoms, it is possible to prepared the desired derivative from the compound of Formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 are both hydrogen atoms. When R1 or R2 is loweralkyl this may be accomplished by reaction of the free amino group with the appropriate alkylating reagent, such as an alkyl halide, an alkyl mesylate or an alkyl tosylate, for example, in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate in a suitable solvent, such as for example, methylene chloride or THF. When R1 or R2 is arylalkyl this may be accomplished by reaction of the free amino group with the appropriate arylalkyl halide, an alkyl mesylate or an alkyl tosylate, for example, in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate in a suitable solvent, such as for example, methylene chloride or THF. When R1 or R2 is acyl this may be accomplished by reaction of the free amino group with the appropriate acid anhydride, an acyl halide such as acyl chloride, or an activated acyl group, such as an acyl cyanide, an acyl azide or a thiolester, in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or potassium carbonate in a suitable solvent, such as for example, methylene chloride or THF. When R1 and R2 are taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a 5-to-7 membered ring optionally containing an additional oxygen or nitrogen atom, the compound may be prepared by reacting a precursor compound having a halogen atom in place of the amino group at the 4-position with a 5-7 membered ring compound optionally containing an additional oxygen or nitrogen atom. Examples of such compounds include, but are not limited to, morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, piperazine, thiomorpholine, and the like. Also, this alternate procedure may be used to prepare alkyl substituted amino compounds, for example by reacting the chloro compound with a mono- or disubstituted amine, such as for example, diethylamine, allyl amine, dibutylamine. This reaction takes place readily in a solvent such as methylene chloride, for example, in the presence of a tertiary amine. The precursor compound having a halogen atom in place of the amino group at the 4-position may be prepared by substitution of 6-amino-4-chloro-5-iodopyrimidine for the 4,6-diamino-5 iodopyrimidine (compound ( 1 ) of Scheme 1 ) and carrying the product forward.
In yet another aspect of the present invention a method of inhibiting adenosine kinase is disclosed. In accordance with this method, an adenosine kinase enzyme is exposed to an effective inhibiting amount of an adenosine kinase inhibitor compound of the present invention. Preferred such compounds for use in the method are the same as set forth above. Means for determining an effective inhibiting amount are well known in the art.
The adenosine kinase to be inhibited can be located in vitro, in situ or in vivo.
Where the adenosine kinase is located in vitro, adenosine kinase f s contacted with the inhibitor compound, typically by adding the compound to an aqueous solution containing WO 98/46603 PCT'/ITS98/04127 the enzyme, radiolabeled substrate adenosine, magnesium chloride and ATP. The enzyme can exist in intact cells or in isolated subcellular fractions containing the enzyme. The enzyme is then maintained in the presence of the inhibitor for a period of time and under suitable physiological conditions. Means for determining maintenance times are well known in the art and depend inter alia on the concentrations of enzyme and the physiological conditions. Suitable physiological conditions are those necessary to maintain adenosine kinase viability and include temperature, acidity, tonicity and the like.
Inhibition of adenosine kinase can be performed, by example, according to standard procedures well known in the art (Yamada, et al., Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 1982, ~1B: 367-372).
Where the adenosine kinase is located in situ or in vivo, is typically administered to a fluid perfusing the tissue containing the enzyme. That fluid can be a naturally occuring fluid such as blood or plasma or an artificial fluid such as saline, Ringer's solution and the like.
A process of inhibiting adenosine kinase in vivo is particularly useful in mammals such as humans. Administering an inhibitor compound is typically accomplished by the parenteral (e.g., intravenous injection or oral) administration of the compound. The amount administered is an effective inhibiting or therapeutic amount.
By a "therapeutically-effective amount" of the compound of the invention is meant a sufficient amount of the compound to treat or mitigate adenosine kinase related disorders or those diseases or conditions which are ameliorated by adenosine kinase inhibition and elevated levels of adenosine, at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention is to be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically-effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; activity of the specific compound employed;
the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, gender and diet of the patient;
the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with specific compound employed; and the like factors well known in the medical arts and well within the capabilities of attending physicians.
Compounds of the present invention inhibit adenosine kinase activity in vitro and in vivo. In vitro adenosine kinase activity can be measured using any of the standard procedures well known in the art. By way of example, cells containing adenosine kinase, such as IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cells, are cultured in the presence and absence of an inhibitor. Inhibition is measured as the ability to inhibit phosphorylation of endogenous or externally applied 14C-adenosine by these cells. The cells can be intact or broken. The specificity of adenosine kinase inhibitory activity is determined by studying the effects of inhibitors on adenosine A 1 and A2a receptor binding, adenosine deaminase activity and adenosine transport.
Compounds of the present invention are effective in inhibiting adenosine kinase activity in vivo. Numerous animal models for studying adenosine kinase activity and the affects of inhibiting such activity are well known in the alt. By way of example, adenosine kinase inhibitors have been reported to protect rodents (e.g., mice and rats) from seizures induced by the subcutaneous administration of pentylenetetrazol (PT'Z).
Typically the rodents are injected with various doses of a given inhibitor followed at various times by the subcutaneous administration of from about 10 to about 500 milligrams per kilogram of PTZ.
t0 The injected animals are then observed for the onset of seizures.
The compounds of the invention were tested in vivo in the hot plate test of analgesia in mammals such as mice. For example, the compounds of examples 55, 103 and 104 in the procedure described directly below were tested thirty minutes after pretreatment with the drugs {30 ~tmol/kg i.p.) for latency to 10th jump (in seconds). The longer the number of 15 seconds, the more effective the drug at masking the pain felt from the hot plate. Compound 55 resulted in 132.86 seconds relative to the vehicle alone of 72.76~10.51 seconds.
Compound 103 resulted in 103.29 seconds. Compound 104, when tested, resulted in an insignificant score of 62.44 seconds and will be retested in additional models of pain.
Compounds of the invention are therefore potent pain relievers as well as adenosine kinase 20 inhibitors as demonstrated in this animal model and the additional assays described below.
Male CF1 mice (Charles River) of approximately 25-30 g body weight are pretreated with 25 10 ml/kg of the test compounds, i.p. or p.o, in groups of 8 animals per dose. At the end of the pretreatment period, the mice are placed in an Omnitech Electronics Automated 16 Animal Hot Plate Analgesia Monitor (Columbus, OH; Model AHP16AN) in individual, 9.8 x 7.2 x 15.3 cm {l x w x h) plastic enclosures on top of a copper plate warmed to SSoC.
Infared sensors located near the top of each enclosure record beam crossings that occur as 30 the mice jump off of the heated surface. Latency times for each jump are automatically recorded, and latency to both the first and tenth jumps are used for data analysis. Mice that do not reach the criteria of 10 jumps by 180 seconds are immediately removed from the hotplate to avoid tissue damage, and they are assigned the maximum value of 180 seconds as their latency to tenth jump.
35 Numerous other animal models of adenosine kinase activity have been described [See, e.g., Davies" et al., Biochem. Pharmacol., 33:347-355 (1984); Keil, et al., Eur. .~.
Pharmacol., 271:37-46 ( 1994); Murray, et al., Drug Development Res., 28:410-( 1993)].

Numerous inhibitor compounds of the present invention were tested in vitro and found to inhibit adenosine kinase activity. The results of some representative studies are shown below in Table 1 below. The data indicate that the compounds inhibit adenosine kinase.

Alterations in cellular adenosine kinase activity have been observed in certain disorders. Adenosine kinase activity was found to be decreased, relative to normal liver, in a variety of rat hepatomas: activity of the enzyme giving a negative correlation with tumor growth rate (Jackson, et al., Br. J. Cancer, 1978, :37: 701-713). Adenosine kinase activity was also diminished in regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy in experimental animals (Jackson, et al., Br. J. Cancer, 1978, 37: 701-713;1. Erythrocyte Adenosine kinase activity was found to be diminished in patients with gout (;Nishizawa, et al., Clin.
Chim. Acta 1976, 67: 15-20). Lymphocyte adenosine kinase activity was decreased in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) exhibiting symptoms of AIDS, and increased in SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 2B) asymptomatic HIV-seropositive and HIV-seronegative high-risk subjects, compared to normal healthy controls (Renouf, et al., Cliia. Chem. 1989, 35: 1478-1481). It has been suggested that measurement of adenosine ldnase activity may prove useful in monitoring the clinical progress of patients with HIV infection (Renouf, et al., Clin. Chem.
1989, 35:
1478-1481). Sepsis infection may lead to a systemic inflammatory syndrome (SIRS), characterized by an increase in cytokine production, neutrophil accumulation, hemodynamic effects, and tissue damage or death. The ability of adenosine kinase inhibitor to elevate adenosine levels in tissues has been demonstrated to ameliorate syndrome symptoms, due to the know anti-inflammatory effects of adenosine. (Firestein, et al., J. of Immunology, 1994, pp. 5853-5859). The ability of adenosine kinase inhibitors to elevate adenosine levels is expected to alleviate pain states, since it has been demonstrated that administration of adenosine or its analogs results in antinociception or antinociperception.
(Swaynok, et al., Neuroscience, 1989, 32: No. 3, pp. 557-569).
