Definitions

• the present invention relates to novel compounds, to methods for their preparation, to compositions comprising the compounds, to the use of these compounds as medicaments and their use in therapy, where such compounds of Formula 1 are pharmacologically useful inhibitors of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPases) such as PTP1 B, CD45, SHP-1 , SHP-2, PTP ⁇ , LAR and HePTP or the like,
• PTPases Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases
• PTPases plays a major role in the intracellular modulation and regulation of fundamental cellular signalling mechanisms involved in metabolism, growth, proliferation and differentiation (Flint et al., The EMBO J. 12:1937-46 (1993); Fischer et al, Science 253:401-6 (1991)). Overexpression or altered activity of tyrosi- ne phosphatases can also contribute to the symptoms and progression of various diseases (Wiener, et al., J. Natl. cancer Inst. 86:372-8 (1994); Hunter and Cooper, Ann. Rev. Biochem, 54:897-930 (1985)).
• Protein phosphorylation is now well recognized as an important mechanism utilized by cells to transduce signals during different stages of cellular function (Fischer et al, Science 253:401-6 (1991); Flint et al., The EMBO J. 12:1937-46 (1993)).
• phosphatases There are at least two major classes of phosphatases: (1) those that dephosphorylate proteins (or peptides) that contain a phosphate group(s) on a serine or threonine moiety (termed Ser/Thr phosphatases) and (2) those that remove a phosphate group(s) from the amino acid tyrosine (termed protein tyrosine phosphatases or PTPases).
• the PTPases are a family of enzymes that can be classified into two groups: a) intracellular or nontransmembrane PTPases and b) receptor-type or transmembrane PTPases.
• Intracellular PTPases Most known intracellular type PTPases contain a single conserved catalytic phosphatase domain consisting of 220-240 amino acid residues. The regions outside the PTPase domains are believed to play important roles in localizing the intracellular PTPases subcellularly (Mauro, L.J. and Dixon, J.E. TIBS 19: 151-155 (1994)). The first intracellular PTPase to be purified and characterized was PTP1B which was isolated from human placenta (Tonks et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263: 6722-6730 (1988)). Shortly after, PTP1B was cloned (Charbonneau et al., Proc.
• intracellular PTPases include (1) T-cell PTPase (Cool et al. Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 86: 5257-5261 (1989)), (2) rat brain PTPase (Guan et al., Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 87:1501-1502 (1990)), (3) neuronal phosphatase STEP (Lombroso et al., Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci.
• LMW-PTPase Low molecular weight phosphotyrosine-protein phosphatase shows very little sequence identity to the intracellular PTPases described above.
• this enzyme belongs to the PTPase family due to the following characteristics: (i) it possesses the PTPase active site motif: Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Xxx- Xxx-Xxx-Arg (Cirri et al., Eur. J. Biochem. 214: 647-657 (1993)); (ii) this Cys residue forms a phospho-intermediate during the catalytic reaction similar to the situation with 'classical' PTPases (Cirri et al., supra; Chiarugi et al., FEBS Lett.
• Receptor-type PTPases consist of a) a putative ligand-binding extracellular domain, b) a transmembrane segment, and c) an intracellular catalytic region.
• the structures and sizes of the putative ligand-binding extracellular domains of receptor-type PTPases are quite divergent.
• the intracellular catalytic regions of receptor-type PTPases are very homologous to each other and to the intracellular PTPases.
• Most receptor-type PTPases have two tandemly duplicated catalytic PTPase domains.
• the first receptor-type PTPases to be identified were (1) CD45/LCA (Ralph, S.J., EMBO J. 6: 1251-1257 (1987)) and (2) LAR (Streuli et al., J. Exp. Med. 168: 1523-1530 (1988)) that were recognized to belong to this class of enzymes based on homology to PTP1B (Charbonneau et al., Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 86: 5252- 5256 (1989)).
• CD45 is a family of high molecular weight glycoproteins and is one 4 of the most abundant leukocyte cell surface glycoproteins and appears to be exclusively expressed upon cells of the hematopoietic system (Trowbridge and Thomas, Ann. Rev. Immunol. 12: 85-116 (1994)).
• PTPa,_PTPe All receptor-type PTPases except Type IV contain two PTPase domains. Novel PTPases are continuously identified, and it is anticipated that more than 500 different species will be found in the human genome, i.e. close to the predicted size of the protein tyrosine kinase superfamily (Hanks and Hunter, FASEB J. 9: 576-596 (1995)).
• PTPases are the biological counterparts to protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Therefore, one important function of PTPases is to control, down-regulate, the activity of PTKs.
• PTKs protein tyrosine kinases
• a more complex picture of the function of PTPases now emerges.
• Several studies have shown that some PTPases may actually act as positive mediators of cellular signalling.
• the SH2 domain- containing PTP1 D seems to act as a positive mediator in insulin-stimulated Ras activation (Noguchi et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 6674-6682 (1994)) and of growth 5 factor-induced mitogenic signal transduction (Xiao et al., J. Biol. Chem.
• PTPases as positive regulators has been provided by studies designed to define the activation of the Src-family of tyrosine kinases. In particular, several lines of evidence indicate that CD45 is positively regulating the activation of hematopoietic cells, possibly through dephosphorylation of the C-terminal tyrosine of Fyn and Lck (Chan et al., Annu. Rev. Immunol. 12: 555-592 (1994)).
• Dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases define a subclass within the PTPases family that can hydrolyze phosphate from phosphortyrosine as well as from phosphor-serine/threonine.
• dsPTPases contain the signature sequence of PTPases: His-Cys-Xxx-Xxx-Gly-Xxx-Xxx-Arg. At least three dsPTPases have been shown to dephosphorylate and inactivate extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERKs)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK): MAPK phosphatase (CL100, 3CH134) (Charles et al., Proc. Natl.
• dsPTPases Transcription of dsPTPases are induced by different stimuli, e.g. oxidative stress or heat shock (Ishibashi et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 29897-29902 (1994); Keyse and Emslie, Nature 359: 644-647 (1992)).

• tyrosine dephosphorylation of cdc2 by a dual specific phosphatase, cdc25 is required for induction of mitosis in yeast (review by Walton and Dixon, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 62: 101-120 (1993)).
• PTPases were originally identified and purified from cell and tissue lysates using a variety of artificial substrates and therefore their natural function of dephosphorylati- on was not well known. Since tyrosine phosphorylation by tyrosine kinases is usually 6 associated with cell proliferation, cell transformation and cell differentiation, it was assumed that PTPases were also associated with these events. This association has now been proven to be the case with many PTPases.
• PTP1B a phosphatase whose structure was recently elucidated (Barford et al., Science 263:1397-1404 (1994)) has been shown to be involved in insulin-induced oocyte maturation (Flint et al., The EMBO J.
• PTPases the insulin receptor signalling pathway/diabetes
• Insulin is an important regulator of different metabolic processes and plays a key role in the control of blood glucose. Defects related to its synthesis or signalling 7 lead to diabetes mellitus. Binding of insulin to its receptor causes rapid (auto)phosphorylation of several tyrosine residues in the intracellular part of the b- subunit. Three closely positioned tyrosine residues (the tyrosine-1150 domain) must all be phosphorylated to obtain full activity of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRTK) which transmits the signal further downstream by tyrosine phosphorylation of other cellular substrates, including insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) (Wilden et al., J. Biol. Chem.
• IRTK appears to be tightly regulated by PTP- mediated dephosphorylation in vivo (Khan et al., J. Biol. Chem. 264: 12931-12940 (1989); Faure et al., J. Biol. Chem. 267: 11215-11221 (1992); Rothenberg et al., J. Biol. Chem. 266: 8302-8311 (1991)).
• PTPases have distinct structural features that determine their subcellular localization and thereby their access to defined cellular substrates (Frangione et ai, Cell 68: 545-560 (1992); Faure and Posner, Glia 9: 311-314 (1993)).
• PTP1 B and TC-PTP may, at least in part, be explained by the fact that they do not co-localize with the activated insulin receptor.
• PTP1B and TC-PTP have been excluded as candidates for the IR-associated PTPases in hepatocytes based on subcellular localization studies (Faure et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 267: 11215-11221 (1992)).
• the transmembrane PTPase CD45 which is believed to be hematopoietic cell- specific, was in a recent study found to negatively regulate the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase in the human multiple myeloma cell line U266 (Kulas et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 271: 755-760 (1996)). 10
• Somatostatin inhibits several biological functions including cellular proliferation (Lamberts et al., Molec. Endocrinoi 8: 1289-1297 (1994)). While part of the antiproliferative activities of somatostatin are secondary to its inhibition of hormone and growth factor secretion (e.g. growth hormone and epidermal growth factor), other antiproliferative effects of somatostatin are due to a direct effect on the target cells. As an example, somatostatin analogs inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer presumably via stimulation of a single PTPase, or a subset of PTPases, rather than a general activation of PTPase levels in the cells (Liebow et ai, Proc. Natl. Aead.
• PTPases the immune system/autoimmunity
• CD45 is one of the most abundant of the cell surface glycoproteins and is expressed exclusively on hemopoetic cells. In T cells, it has been shown that CD45 is one of the critical components of the signal transduction machinery of lymphocytes. In particular, evidence has suggested that CD45 phosphatase plays a pivotal role in antigen- stimulated proliferation of T lymphocytes after an antigen has bound to the T cell receptor (Trowbridge, Ann. Rev. Immunol, 12:85-116 (1994)). Several studies suggest 11 that the PTPase activity of CD45 plays a role in the activation of Lck, a lymphocyte- specific member of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinase (Mustelin etal., Proc. Natl. Aead.
• the p56lck-CD45 interaction seems to be mediated via a nonconventional SH2 domain interaction not requiring phosphotyrosine.
• Fyn another member of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinases, Fyn, seems to be a selective substrate for CD45 compared to Lck and Syk (Katagiri et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270: 27987-27990 (1995)).
• CD45 has also been shown to be essential for the antibody mediated degranulation of mast cells (Berger et al., J. Exp. Med. 180:471-6 (1994)). These studies were also done with mice that were CD45-def ⁇ cient. In this case, an IgE-mediated degranulation was demonstrated in wild type but not CD45-deficient T cells from mice. These data suggest that CD45 inhibitors could also play a role in the symptomatic or therapeutic treatment of allergic disorders.
• HePTP lymphoid-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase
• HePTP may function during sustained stimulation to modulate the immune response through dephosphorylation of specific residues. Its exact role, however remains to be defined.
• PTPase inhibitors may be attractive drug candidates both as immunosuppressors and as immunostimulants.
• BMLOV vanadium-based PTPase inhibitor
• PTPases cell-cell interactions/cancer
• Focal adhesion plaques an in vitro phenomenon in which specific contact points are formed when fibroblasts grow on appropriate substrates, seem to mimic, at least in part, cells and their natural surroundings.
• Several focal adhesion proteins are phosphorylated on tyrosine residues when fibroblasts adhere to and spread on extracellular matrix (Gumbiner, Neuron 11, 551-564 (1993)).
• Aberrant tyrosine phosphorylation of these proteins can lead to cellular transformation.
• the intimate association between PTPases and focal adhesions is supported by the finding of several intracellular PTPases with ezrin-like N-terminal domains, e.g. PTPMEG1 (Gu et ai, Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci.
• PTPH1 Yang and Tonks, Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 88: 5949-5953 (1991)
• PTPD1 Yang and Tonks, Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 88: 5949-5953 (1991)
• PTPD1 M ⁇ ller et al., Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 91: 7477-7481 (1994)
• the ezrin-like domain show similarity to several proteins that are believed to act as links between the cell membrane and the cytoskeleton.
• PTPD1 was found to be phosphorylated by and associated with c-src in vitro and is hypothesized to be involved in the regulation of phosphorylation of focal adhesions (M ⁇ ller et ai, supra). 13
• PTPases may oppose the action of tyrosine kinases, including those responsible for phosphorylation of focal adhesion proteins, and may therefore function as natural inhibitors of transformation.
• TC-PTP and especially the truncated form of this enzyme (Cool et ai, Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 87: 7280-7284 (1990)), can inhibit the transforming activity of v-erb and v-fms (Lammers et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 268: 22456-22462 (1993); Zander et ai, Oncogene 8: 1175-1182 (1993)).
• PTP1B The expression level of PTP1B was found to be increased in a mammary cell line transformed with neu (Zhay et ai, Cancer Res. 53: 2272-2278 (1993)).
• the intimate relationship between tyrosine kinases and PTPases in the development of cancer is further evidenced by the recent finding that PTPe is highly expressed in murine mammary tumors in transgenic mice over-expressing c-neu and v-Ha-ras, but not c-myc or int-2 (Elson and Leder, J. Biol. Chem. 270: 26116-26122 (1995)).
• PTPases appear to be involved in controlling the growth of fibroblasts.
• Swiss 3T3 cells harvested at high density contain a membrane-associated PTPase whose activity on an average is 8-fold higher than that of cells harvested at low or medium density (Pallen and Tong, Proc. Natl. Aead. Sci. USA 88: 6996-7000 (1991)). It was hypothesized by the authors that density-dependent inhibition of cell growth involves the regulated elevation of the activity of the PTPase(s) in question.
• PTPases Two closely related receptor-type PTPases, PTPK and PTP ⁇ , can mediate homophilic cell-cell interaction when expressed in non-adherent insect cells, suggesting that these PTPases might have a normal physiological function in cell- to-cell signalling (Gebbink er a/., J. Biol. Chem. 268: 16101-16104 (1993); Brady- Kalnay er /., J. Cell Biol. 122: 961-972 (1993); Sap et ai, Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 1-9 (1994)).
• PTPk and PTP ⁇ do not interact with each other, despite their structural similarity (Zondag et ai, J. Biol. Chem.
• PTPases may play an important role in regulating normal cell growth.
• PTPases may also function as positive mediators of intracellular signalling and thereby induce or enhance mitogenic responses. Increased activity of certain PTPases might therefore result in cellular transformation and tumor formation.
• over-expression of PTP ⁇ was found to lead to transformation of rat embryo fibroblasts (Zheng, supra).
• SAP-1 a novel PTP, SAP-1 , was found to be highly expressed in pancreatic and colorectal cancer cells.
• SAP-1 is mapped to chromosome 19 region q13.4 and might be related to carcinoembryonic antigen mapped to 19q13.2 (Uchida et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 269: 12220-12228 (1994)). Further, the dsPTPase, cdc25, dephosphorylates cdc2 at Thr14/Tyr-15 and thereby functions as positive regulator of mitosis (reviewed by Hunter, Cell 80: 225-236 (1995)). Inhibitors of specific PTPases are therefore likely to be of significant therapeutic value in the treatment of certain forms of cancer.
• PTPases platelet aggregation
• the rate of bone formation is determined by the number and the activity of osteoblasts, which in term are determined by the rate of proliferation and differentiation of osteoblast progenitor cells, respectively. Histomorphometric studies indicate that the osteoblast number is the primary determinant of the rate of bone formation in humans (Gruber et ai, Mineral Electrolyte Metab. 12: 246-254 (1987); reviewed in Lau etal., Biochem. J. 257: 23-36 (1989)). Acid phosphatases/PTPases may be involved in negative regulation of osteoblast proliferation. Thus, fluoride, which has phosphatase inhibitory activity, has been found to increase spinal bone density in osteoporotics by increasing osteoblast proliferation (Lau ef ai, supra).
• an osteoblastic acid phosphatase with PTPase activity was found to be highly sensitive to mitogenic concentrations of fluoride (Lau er a/., J. Biol. Chem. 260: 4653-4660 (1985); Lau et ai, J. Biol. Chem. 262: 1389-1397 (1987); Lau et ai, Adv. Protein Phosphatases 4: 165-198 (1987)).
• the level of membrane-bound PTPase activity was increased dramatically when the 16 osteoblast-like cell line UMR 106.06 was grown on collagen type-l matrix compared to uncoated tissue culture plates.
