FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to macrocyclic compounds, and compositions thereof as well as methods of use the same for treatment of Janus Kinase and/or Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (JAK/ALK)-associated diseases including, for example, inflammatory disorders, autoimmune disorders, skin disorders, myeloid proliferative disorders, as well as cancer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein kinases (PKs) are a group of enzymes that regulate diverse, important biological processes including cell growth, survival and differentiation, organ formation and morphogenesis, neovascularization, tissue repair and regeneration, among others. Protein kinases exert their physiological functions through catalyzing the phosphorylation of proteins (or other substrates such as lipids) and thereby modulating the cellular activities of the substrates in various biological contexts. In addition to the functions in normal tissues/organs, many protein kinases also play a central role in a host of human diseases including cancer. A subset of protein kinases (also referred to as oncogenic protein kinases), when dysregulated, can cause tumor formation and inappropriate tumor cell survival and proliferation, and further contribute to tumor progression [See e.g. Blume-Jensen P. et al, Nature 2001, 411(6835):355-365]. Thus far, oncogenic protein kinases represent one of the largest and most attractive groups of protein targets for cancer intervention and drug development.
Protein kinases can be categorized as receptor type and non-receptor type. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have an extracellular portion, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion, while non-receptor tyrosine kinases are entirely intracellular. RTK mediated signal transduction is typically initiated by extracellular interaction with a specific growth factor (ligand), typically followed by receptor dimerization, stimulation of the intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity, and receptor transphosphorylation. Binding sites are thereby created for intracellular signal transduction molecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum of cytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate cellular responses such as cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, metabolic effects, and changes in the extracellular microenvironment.
At present, at least nineteen (19) distinct RTK subfamilies have been identified. One RTK subfamily, designated the HER subfamily, includes EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4, and bind such ligands as epithelial growth factor (EGF), TGF-α, amphiregulin, HB-EGF, betacellulin and heregulin. A second family of RTKs, designated the insulin subfamily, includes the INS-R, the IGF-1R and the IR-R. A third family, the “PDGF” subfamily, includes the PDGF alpha and beta receptors, CSFIR, c-kit and FLK-II. Another subfamily of RTKs, referred to as the FLK subfamily, encompasses the Kinase insert Domain-Receptor fetal liver kinase-1 (KDR/FLK-1), the fetal liver kinase 4 (FLK-4) and the fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (flt-1). Two other subfamilies of RTKs have been designated as the FGF receptor family (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4) and the Met subfamily (c-Met, Ron and Sea). For a detailed discussion of protein kinases, see for example, Blume-Jensen, P. et al., Nature. 2001, 411(6835):355-365, and Manning, G. et al., Science. 2002, 298(5600):1912-1934.
The non-receptor type of tyrosine kinases are also composed of numerous sub-families, including Src, Btk, Abl, Fak, and Jak. Each of these subfamilies can be further subdivided into multiple members that have been frequently linked to oncogenesis. The Src family, for example, is the largest and includes Src, Fyn, Lck and Fgr among others. For a detailed discussion of these kinases, see Bolen J B, “Non-receptor tyrosine protein kinases, ” Oncogene., 1993, 8(8):2025-31.
A significant number of tyrosine kinases (both receptor and nonreceptor) are associated with cancer (see Madhusudan S, Ganesan T S. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer therapy. Clin Biochem. 2004, 37(7):618-35.). Clinical studies suggest that overexpression or dysregulation of tyrosine kinases may also be of prognostic value. For example, members of the HER family of RTKs have been associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, head and neck and lung cancer. Mutation of c-Kit tyrosine kinase has been associated with decreased survival in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Flt-3 mutation predicts shorter disease free survival. VEGFR expression, which is important for tumor angiogenesis, is associated with a lower survival rate in lung cancer. Tie-1 kinase expression inversely correlates with survival in gastric cancer. BCR-Abl expression is an important predictor of response in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and Src tyrosine kinase is an indicator of poor prognosis in all stages of colorectal cancer.
The immune system responds to injury and threats from pathogens. Cytokines are low-molecular weight polypeptides or glycoproteins that stimulate biological responses in virtually all cell types. For example, cytokines regulate many of the pathways involved in the host inflammatory response to sepsis. Cytokines influence cell differentiation, proliferation and activation, and they can modulate both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses to allow the host to react appropriately to pathogens.
Binding of a cytokine to its cell surface receptor initiates intracellular signaling cascades that transduce the extracellular signal to the nucleus, ultimately leading to changes in gene expression. The pathway involving the Janus kinase family of protein tyrosine kinases (JAKs) and Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs) is engaged in the signaling of a wide range of cytokines. Generally, cytokine receptors do not have intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity, and thus require receptor-associated kinases to propagate a phosphorylation cascade. JAKs fulfill this function. Cytokines bind to their receptors, causing receptor dimerization, and this enables JAKs to phosphorylate each other as well as specific tyrosine motifs within the cytokine receptors. STATs, and other proteins, recognize these phosphotyrosine motifs and are recruited to the receptor where they are activated by a JAK-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation events. Upon activation, STATs dissociate from the receptors and translocate to the nucleus to bind to specific DNA sites and alter transcription [Scott, M. J., C. J. Godshall, et al. (2002). “Jaks, STATs, Cytokines, and Sepsis.” Clin Diagn Lab Immunol 9(6): 1153-9].
The Janus Kinase (JAK) family plays a role in the cytokine-dependent regulation of proliferation and function of cells involved in immune response. Currently, there are four known mammalian JAK family members: JAK1 (also known as Janus kinase-1), JAK2 (also known as Janus kinase-2), JAK3 (also known as Janus kinase, leukocyte; JAKL; L-JAK and Janus kinase-3) and TYK2 (also known as protein-tyrosine kinase 2). The JAK proteins range in size from 120 to 140 kDa and comprise seven conserved JAK homology (JH) domains; one of these is a functional catalytic kinase domain, and another is a pseudokinase domain potentially serving a regulatory function and/or serving as a docking site for STATs (Scott, Godshall et al. 2002, supra).
While JAK1, JAK2 and TYK2 are widely expressed, JAK3 is reported to be preferentially expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and activated T cells, suggesting a role in lymphoid activation (Kawamura, M., D. W. McVicar, et al. (1994). “Molecular cloning of L-JAK, a Janus family protein-tyrosine kinase expressed in natural killer cells and activated leukocytes.” Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 91(14): 6374-8).
Not only do the cytokine-stimulated immune and inflammatory responses contribute to normal host defense, they also play roles in the pathogenesis of diseases. Pathologies such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) can arise from hypoactivity, e.g. the inability of various cytokines to signal through JAK3 (Macchi, et al. Nature, 337:65-68, 1995). In contrast, hyperactive or inappropriate immune/inflammatory responses can contribute to the pathology of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, asthma and systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis, thyroiditis, immunoglobulin nephropathies, myocarditis as well as illnesses such as scleroderma and osteoarthritis (Ortmann, R. A., T. Cheng, et al. (2000). “Janus kinases and signal transducers and activators of transcription: their roles in cytokine signaling, development and immunoregulation.” Arthritis Res 2(1): 16-32). Furthermore, syndromes with a mixed presentation of autoimmune and immunodeficiency disease are quite common (Candotti, F., L. Notarangelo, et al. (2002). “Molecular aspects of primary immunodeficiencies: lessons from cytokine and other signaling pathways.” J Clin Invest 109(10): 1261-9). Thus, therapeutic agents are typically aimed at augmentation or suppression of the immune and inflammatory pathways, accordingly.
Deficiencies in expression of various JAK family members have been associated with pathologies in rodents. Jak1−/− mice are runted at birth, fail to nurse, and die perinatally (Rodig, S. J., M. A. Meraz, et al. (1998). “Disruption of the Jak1 gene demonstrates obligatory and non-redundant roles of the Jaks in cytokine-induced biologic responses.” Cell 93(3): 373-83). Jak2−/− mouse embryos are anemic and die around day 12.5 postcoitum due to the absence of definitive erythropoiesis. In addition, JAK2 deficiency resulted in cell-type specific deficiencies in the signaling of some cytokines such as those required for definitive erythropoiesis (Neubauer, H., A. Cumano, et al. (1998). Cell 93(3): 397-409; Parganas, E., D. Wang, et al. (1998). Cell 93(3): 385-95.). JAK3 appears to play a role in normal development and function of B and T lymphocytes. Mutations of JAK3 are reported to be responsible for autosomal recessive severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in humans (Candotti, F., S. A. Oakes, et al. (1997). “Structural and functional basis for JAK3-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency.” Blood 90(10): 3996-4003).
The JAK/STAT pathway, and in particular all four members of the JAK family, are believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of the asthmatic response, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis other related inflammatory diseases of the lower respiratory tract, inflammatory diseases or conditions of the upper respiratory tract such as those affecting the nose and sinuses (e.g. rhinitis, sinusitis) whether classically allergic reactions or not, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), and septic shock. See e.g., Pernis, A. B. and P. B. Rothman, “JAK—STAT signaling in asthma, ” J Clin Invest 109(10): 1279-83 (2002); and Seto, Y., H. Nakajima, et al, “Enhanced Th2 cell-mediated allergic inflammation in Tyk2-deficient mice.” J Immunol 170(2): 1077-83 (2003).
The JAK/STAT pathway has also been implicated to play a role in inflammatory diseases/conditions of the eye including, but not limited to, dry eye disorder, iritis, uveitis, scleritis, conjunctivitis, as well as chronic allergic responses. Therefore, inhibition of JAK kinases may have a beneficial role in the therapeutic treatment of these diseases.
As used herein, “dry eye disorder” is intended to encompass the disease states summarized in a recent official report of the Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS), which defined dry eye as “a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface.” Lemp, “The Definition and Classification of Dry Eye Disease: Report of the Definition and Classification Subcommittee of the International Dry Eye WorkShop”, The Ocular Surface, 5(2), 75-92 April 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Dry eye is also sometimes referred to as keratoconjunctivitis sicca. In some embodiments, the treatment of the dry eye disorder involves ameliorating a particular symptom of dry eye disorder, such as eye discomfort, visual disturbance, tear film instability, tear hyperosmolarity, and inflammation of the ocular surface.
The JAK/STAT pathway also plays a role in cancers of the immune system. In adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), human CD4+ T cells acquire a transformed phenotype, an event that correlates with acquisition of constitutive phosphorylation of JAKs and STATs. Furthermore, an association between JAK3 and STAT-1, STAT-3, and STAT-5 activation and cell-cycle progression was demonstrated by both propidium iodide staining and bromodeoxyuridine incorporation in cells of four ATLL patients tested. These results imply that JAK/STAT activation is associated with expansion of leukemic cells and that therapeutic approaches aimed at JAK/STAT inhibition may be considered to halt neoplastic growth (Takemoto, S., J. C. Mulloy, et al. (1997). “Proliferation of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma cells is associated with the constitutive activation of JAK/STAT proteins.” Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 94(25): 13897-902).
Blocking cytokine and growth factor signal transduction at the level of the JAK kinases holds promise for the treatment of a number of human cancers. For example, cytokines of the interleukin 6 (IL-6) family, which activate the signal transducer gp130, are major survival and growth factors for human multiple myeloma (MM) cells. The signal transduction of gp130 is believed to involve JAK1, JAK2 and
Tyk2 and the downstream effectors STAT3 and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and AKT pathways. In IL-6-dependent MM cell lines treated with the JAK2 inhibitor pyridone 6 STAT3 phosphorylation and tumor cell proliferation and survival were inhibited (Pedranzini, L, et al, Cancer Research 66:9714-21, 2006.
Activation of JAK/STAT in cancers may occur by multiple mechanisms including cytokine stimulation (e.g. IL-6 or GM-CSF) or by a reduction in the endogenous suppressors of JAK signaling such as SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signaling) or PIAS (protein inhibitor of activated STAT) (Boudny, V., and Kovarik, J., Neoplasm. 49:349-355, 2002). Importantly, activation of STAT signaling, as well as other pathways downstream of JAKs (e.g. Akt), has been correlated with poor prognosis in many cancer types (Bowman, T., et al. Oncogene 19:2474-2488, 2000). Moreover, elevated levels of circulating cytokines that signal through JAK/STAT may adversely impact patient health as they are thought to play a causal role in cachexia and/or chronic fatigue. As such, JAK inhibition may be therapeutic for the treatment of cancer patients for reasons that extend beyond potential anti-tumor activity. The cachexia indication may gain further mechanistic support with the realization that the satiety factor leptin signals through JAKs.
Pharmacological targeting of Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) has been employed successfully to control allograft rejection and graft versus host disease (GVHD). In addition to its involvement in signaling of cytokine receptors, JAK3 is also engaged in the CD40 signaling pathway of peripheral blood monocytes. During CD40-induced maturation of myeloid dendritic cells (DCs), JAK3 activity is induced, and increases in costimulatory molecule expression, IL-12 production, and potent allogeneic stimulatory capacity are observed. A rationally designed JAK3 inhibitor WHI-P-154 prevented these effects arresting the DCs at an immature level, suggesting that immunosuppressive therapies targeting the tyrosine kinase JAK3 may also affect the function of myeloid cells (Saemann, M. D., C. Diakos, et al. (2003). “Prevention of CD40-triggered dendritic cell maturation and induction of T-cell hyporeactivity by targeting of Janus kinase 3.” Am J Transplant 3(11): 1341-9). In the mouse model system, JAK3 was also shown to be an important molecular target for treatment of autoimmune insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus. The rationally designed JAK3 inhibitor JANEX-1 exhibited potent immunomodulatory activity and delayed the onset of diabetes in the NOD mouse model of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (Cetkovic-Cvrlje, M., A. L. Dragt, et al. (2003). “Targeting JAK3 with JANEX-1 for prevention of autoimmune type 1 diabetes in NOD mice.” Clin Immunol 106(3): 213-25).
It has been suggested that inhibition of JAK2 tyrosine kinase can be beneficial for patients with myeloproliferative disorders. (Levin, et al., Cancer Cell, vol. 7, 2005: 387-397) Myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), systemic mast cell disease (SMCD) and the like. Although myeloproliferative disorders (such as PV, ET and MMM) are thought to be caused by acquired somatic mutation in hematopoietic progenitors, the genetic basis for these diseases has not been known. However, it has been reported that hematopoietic cells from a majority of patients with PV and a significant number of patients with ET and MMM possess a recurrent somatic activating mutation in the JAK2 tyrosine kinase. It has also been reported that inhibition of the JAK2V617F kinase with a small molecule inhibitor leads to inhibition of proliferation of hematopoietic cells, suggesting that the JAK2 tyrosine kinase is a potential target for pharmacologic inhibition in patients with PV, ET and MMM. In addition, mutations in the receptor for thrombopoietin have also been described in MPD patients and due to the requirement of JAK2 for this receptor to signal, inhibition of JAKs may be therapeutic (Tefferi, A. Leukemia & Lymphoma, March 2008; 49(3): 388-397).
Inhibition of the JAK kinases is also envisioned to have therapeutic benefits in patients suffering from skin immune disorders such as psoriasis, and skin sensitization. In psoriasis vulgaris, the most common form of psoriasis, it has been generally accepted that activated T lymphocytes are important for the maintenance of the disease and its associated psoriatic plaques (Gottlieb, A. B., et al, Nat Rev Drug Disc., 4:19-34). Psoriatic plaques contain a significant immune infiltrate, including leukocytes and monocytes, as well as multiple epidermal layers with increased keratinocyte proliferation. While the initial activation of immune cells in psoriasis occurs by an ill defined mechanism, the maintenance is believed to be dependent on a number of inflammatory cytokines, in addition to various chemokines and growth factors (JCI, 113:1664-1675). Many of these, including interleukins -2, -4, -6, -7, -12, -15, -18, and -23 as well as GM-CSF and IFNg, signal through the Janus (JAK) kinases (Adv Pharmacol. 2000; 47:113-74). As such, blocking signal transduction at the level of JAK kinases may result in therapeutic benefits in patients suffering from psoriasis or other immune disorders of the skin (Kimbal, A. B., et al. Arch Dermatol. 2008 February; 144(2):200-7).
It has been known that certain therapeutics can cause immune reactions such as skin rash or diarrhea in some patients. For instance, administration of some of the new targeted anti-cancer agents such as Iressa, Erbitux, and Tarceva has induced acneiform rash with some patients. Another example is that some therapeutics used topically induce skin irritation, skin rash, contact dermatitis or allergic contact sensitization. For some patients, these immune reactions may be bothersome, but for others, the immune reactions such as rash or diarrhea may result in the inability to continue treatment. Although the driving force behind these immune reactions has not been elucidated completely at the present time, these immune reactions are likely linked to immune infiltrate.
Inhibitors of Janus kinases or related kinases are widely sought and several publications report effective classes of compounds. For example, certain inhibitors are reported in WO 99/65909, US 2004/0198737; WO 2004/099204; WO 2004/099205; and WO 01/42246. Heteroaryl substituted pyrroles and other compounds are reported in WO 2004/72063 and WO 99/62908. For another example, certain JAK inhibitors, including pyrrolopyridine and pyrrolopyrimidines, are reported in U.S. Ser. No. 11/637, 545, filed Dec. 12, 2006.
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), is a receptor tyrosine kinase, believed to play an important role in the development and function of the nervous system. ALK is normally expressed in the central nervous system, with peak expression during the neonatal period. However, due to chromosomal translocations, ALK is also aberrantly expressed and activated in some cancers in the form of oncogenic fusion proteins. ALK fusion proteins are responsible for approximately 5-10% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Additional mutations/translocations and increased expression have also been identified in lung cancer and neurological tumors (Soda, M., et al. Nature 448:561-566, 2007 and Mosse, Y P, AACR 2008). Accordingly, ALK inhibitors are useful for the treatment of ALK-related tumors, including anaplastic large cell lymphomas and non-Hodgkin lymphomas in addition to skin diseases and lung cancers.
The annual incidence of ALK positive lymphomas is about 100, 000 worldwide. ALK is an excellent candidate for therapeutic intervention, as it plays an essential role in oncogenicity and its normal expression is mostly restricted to the central nervous system.
Hence, a specific ALK inhibitor could be an efficient treatment for ALK positive lymphomas with few associated clinical side effects. Accordingly, potential ALK inhibitors are highly desirable as potential treatments of ALK-related diseases/tumors. For example, certain ALK inhibitors such staurosporine derivatives are reported in WO2004079326.
Thus, new or improved agents which inhibit kinases such as Janus kinases and/or ALK are continually needed for developing new and more effective pharmaceuticals to treat cancer, myeloproliferative disorders, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory diseases, to name a few. The compounds, compositions and methods described herein are directed toward these needs and other ends.

For example, when L¹and L²together form —O—(CH₂)₂—S—, the sulfur atom (S) can be linked to the ring containing A¹, B¹, D¹, and E¹, and oxygen atom (O) to the ring containing A², B², D², and E². Alternatively, when L¹and L²together form —O—(CH₂)₂—S—, the oxygen atom (O) can be linked to the ring containing A¹, B¹, D¹, and E¹, and the sulfur atom (S) to the ring containing A², B², D², and E². For another example, when W¹in —W¹-Q¹-Y¹—Z¹is O(CR^11aR^11b)_q1NR^f, W¹can be linked to Q¹either via the O or the N atom.

At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds of the invention are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the invention include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C_1-6alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, C₃alkyl, C₄alkyl, C₅alkyl, and C₆alkyl.
For compounds of the invention in which a variable appears more than once, each variable can be a different moiety selected from the Markush group defining the variable. For example, each of R⁵, R⁶, —W¹-Q¹-Y¹—Z¹, Cy¹, and R^a1can be a different moiety selected from the Markush group defining the variable. For another example, where a structure is described having two R groups that are simultaneously present on the same compound; the two R groups can represent different moieties selected from the Markush group defined for R. In another example, when an optionally multiple substituent is designated in the form:
then it is understood that substituent R can occur s number of times on the ring, and R can be a different moiety at each occurrence. Further, in the above example, should the variable T¹be defined to include hydrogens, such as when T¹is said to be CH₂, NH, etc., any floating substituent such as R in the above example, can replace a hydrogen of the T¹variable as well as a hydrogen in any other non-variable component of the ring.
As used herein, the term “adjacent” in describing the relative positions of two substitution groups on a same ring structure refers to two substitution groups that are respectively attached to two ring-forming atoms of the same ring, wherein the two-ring forming atoms are directly connected through a chemical bond. For example, in the following structure:
R^100aand R²⁰⁰are two adjacent groups. For another example, each of R²⁰⁰, R^400a, and R^400bis an adjacent group of R^300a. For yet another example, each of R²⁰⁰, R^400a, and R^400bis an adjacent group of R^300b.
It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.
The term “n-membered” where n is an integer typically describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number of ring-forming atoms is n. For example, pyridine is an example of a 6-membered heteroaryl ring and thiophene is an example of a 5-membered heteroaryl group.
As used herein, the term “alkyl” is meant to refer to a saturated hydrocarbon group which is straight-chained or branched. Example alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (e.g., n-propyl and isopropyl), butyl (e.g., n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl), pentyl (e.g., n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl), and the like. An alkyl group can contain from 1 to about 20, from 2 to about 20, from 1 to about 10, from 1 to about 8, from 1 to about 6, from 1 to about 4, or from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms. The term “alkylene” refers to a divalent alkyl linking group. An example of alkylene is methylene (CH₂).
As used herein, “alkenyl” refers to an alkyl group having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds. Example alkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethenyl, propenyl, cyclohexenyl, and the like. The term “alkenylenyl” refers to a divalent linking alkenyl group.
As used herein, “alkynyl” refers to an alkyl group having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds. Example alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl, propynyl, and the like. The term “alkynylenyl” refers to a divalent linking alkynyl group.
As used herein, “haloalkyl” refers to an alkyl group having one or more halogen substituents. Example haloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, CF₃, C₂F₅, CHF₂, CCl₃, CHCl₂, C₂Cl₅, CH₂CF₃, and the like.
As used herein, “aryl” refers to monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., having 2, 3 or 4 fused rings) aromatic hydrocarbons such as, for example, phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, phenanthrenyl, indanyl, indenyl, and the like. In some embodiments, aryl groups have from 6 to about 20 carbon atoms. In some embodiments, aryl groups have from 6 to about 10 carbon atoms.
As used herein, “cycloalkyl” refers to non-aromatic cyclic hydrocarbons including cyclized alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups that contain up to 20 ring-forming carbon atoms.

Sulfamide 3-25c can be made by reacting amines 3-25a and 3-25b with SO₂Cl₂or its equivalent (such as other thionyl halides, e.g., SO₂Br₂). The protecting group Pg⁴of compounds 3-21, 3-23, or 3-25 can be removed under suitable conditions. Compounds 3-21, 3-23, and 3-25 can undergo further chemical transformations when suitable reactive groups are present. For example, when R²⁵²(and/or R^201a) is NO₂, it can be reduced to NH₂under suitable conditions.
Useful intermediates 3-21-1, 3-23-1, 3-25-1, or 3-25-1c [wherein Pg⁴, L^1d, and L^2dcan be the same as those in Scheme 3e] can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 3e-1 (similar to the reactions depicted in Scheme 3e). The protecting group Pg⁴of compounds 3-21, 3-23, or 3-25 can be removed under suitable conditions.

For example, the NO₂of compound 3-21, 3-23, or 3-25 can be reduced to NH₂under suitable conditions.
A more detailed scheme (similar to Scheme 3d-1) is provided in Scheme 3f. Sulfonamide 3-27 [wherein L^1a, and L^2acan be the same as those in Scheme 3a] can be obtained by reacting sulfonyl halide 3-26a (such as chloride) with amine 3-26b. The NO₂of compound 3-27 can be reduced to NH₂, for example in the presence of Fe/CH₃COOH, to afford compound 3-27a. The Boc group of compound 3-27 can be removed, for example, in the presence of HCl, to afford compound 3-27b.
In Schemes 3a, 3b, 3b-1, 3c, 3c-1, 3d, 3e, 3e-1, and 3f wherein the compounds have a moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂[for example, —(CR′R″)_t—R²⁵²wherein R²⁵²is NO₂; —(CR′R″)_t—R³⁰¹wherein R³⁰¹is NO₂, or —(CR′R″)_t—R^301awherein R^301ais NO₂], the moiety —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂can be replaced with a moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (wherein ttt is 0, 1, or 2). Subsequently, the moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN can be reduced to —(CR′R″)_ttt—CH₂NH₂under suitable conditions such as hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel, to provide additional useful intermediates.
As shown in Scheme 4, macrocycle 4-2 [wherein L^1aand L^2acan be the same as those in Scheme 3a] can be cyclized from acyclic precursor 4-1 by intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction/coupling. Preferably, one of L^1aand L^2aof acyclic precursor 4-1 is a bond in the intramolecular Mitsunobu reactions/couplings. Alternatively, one of the OH groups can be converted to a better leaving group such as halo or mesylate, and the intramolecular cyclization can be performed under suitable conditions.
As shown in Scheme 4-1, the free OH group of compound 4-1a (wherein Pg¹⁰⁰is a hydroxyl protecting group such as methyl) can be converted to a better leaving group for example Br under suitable conditions (for example, using boron tribromide to convert OH to Br) to provide compound 4-2a. Removal of the protecting group Pg¹⁰⁰of 4-2a provides acyclic precursor 4-3a. Macrocycle 4-4a [wherein L^1aand L^2acan be the same as those in Scheme 3a] can be cyclized from acyclic precursor 4-3a [wherein Lg¹is a good leaving group such as halo (e.g Br)] under suitable conditions (such as in the presence of a base such as NaOH). Alternatively, the above described chemical transformation can be started with a compound similar to compound 4-1a, except that the hydroxyl protecting group Pg¹⁰⁰is on the OH attached to L^2a; and that a free OH group (instead of OPg¹⁰⁰) is attached to L^1a.
In addition, many other intramolecular macrocyclizations can be useful for synthesizing the compounds of the present invention. For example, amine alkylations and reductive aminations can be useful for cyclizations as shown in Scheme 5a [wherein L^1aand L^2acan be the same as those in Scheme 3b].

Aryl halide or heteroaryl halide 7-1 can be reacted with alkyne 7-2 under Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions to afford alkyne 7-3. [See, K. Sonogashira, Y. Tohda, N. Hagihara (1975). “A convenient synthesis of acetylenes: catalytic substitutions of acetylenic hydrogen with bromoalkenes, iodoarenes and bromopyridines”. Tetrahedron Letters 16 (50): 4467-4470.]. The amino group of alkyne 7-3 can be protected with a protecting group Pg⁴, followed by the C≡C bond being reduced to a saturated bond by hydrogenation to afford intermediate 7-4.
Aryl halide or heteroaryl halide 7-5 can be reacted with silyl substituted acetylene 7-6 [e.g. (trimethylsilyl)-acetylene] under Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions, followed by removal of the silyl group under suitable conditions [e.g., in the presence of a base (e.g., K₂CO₃)] to afford alkyne 7-7. Alkyne 7-7 can be reacted with aryl halide or heteroaryl halide 7-8 under Sonogashira coupling reaction condition to afford alkyne 7-9. Alkyne 7-9 can be reduced via hydrogenation to produce intermediate 7-10. Aryl halide or heteroaryl halide 7-11 can be reacted with alkyne 7-12 under Sonogashira coupling reaction conditions, followed by hydrogenation to reduce the C≡C bond, to afford alkyne 7-13.
Useful intermediates 7-4a, 7-10a, and 7-13a can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 7-1 (similar to the reactions depicted in Scheme 7). Alternatively, in Scheme 7-1 wherein the compounds have a moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂(i.e. compounds 7-1a, 7-3a, 7-5a, 7-7a,), the moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂can be replaced with a moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (wherein ttt is 0, 1, or 2). Subsequently, the moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (such as those in compounds 7-3a and 7-7a) can be reduced to —(CR′R″)_ttt—CH₂NH₂under suitable conditions such as hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel, to provide additional useful intermediates.
Useful intermediates 7-4b, 7-10b, and 7-13b can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 7-2. Aryl halide/triflate or heteroaryl halide/triflate 7-5b can be reacted with vinylboronate 7-6b (R groups can be each, independently, H (e.g., compound 7-6b is a vinylboronic acid when both R are H) or alklyl; or together with the —O—B—O— to which they are attached form an optionally substituted heterocycloalkyl) under Suzuki-Miyaura reaction condition/Suzuki coupling to form alkene 7-2b [for reviews of the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, see e.g. Miyaura, N; Suzuki, A. Chem. Rev., 1995, 95:2457-2483]. Alternatively, a vinyl stannane (such as tributyl(vinyl)stannane, equivalent to vinylboronate 7-6b in the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction described herein) can be used to react with aryl halide or heteroaryl halide 7-5b to form alkene 7-2b under Stille reaction conditions [See e.g. P. Espinet, A. M. Echavarren “The Mechanisms of the Stille Reaction”; Angewandte Chemie International Edition; 43 (36): 4704-4734 (2004)]. Aryl halide/triflate or heteroaryl halide/triflate 7-1b can be reacted with alkene 7-2b under Heck coupling reaction conditions to afford alkene 7-3b. [See e.g. Heck, R. F.; Nolley, Jr., J. P., “Palladium-catalyzed vinylic hydrogen substitution reactions with aryl, benzyl, and styryl halides”; J. Org. Chem., 37(14): 2320-2322 (1972)]. The amino group of alkene 7-3b can optionally be protected by an amine protecting group such as Boc group, followed by reduction of the C═C bond to a saturated bond via hydrogenation to afford intermediate 7-4b under an appropriate condition such as palladium catalyzed hydrogenation or using a hydrazine compound. [See e.g. Y. Imada, H. Iida, T. Naota, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2005, 127, 14544-14545].
Intermediate 7-10b can be synthesized starting from aryl halide/triflate or heteroaryl halide/triflate 7-1b (also substituted with a nitro group) through similar chemical transformations to those described in the formation of intermediate 7-4b.
Alternatively, aryl halide/triflate or heteroaryl halide/triflate 7-11b can be reacted with alkene 7-12b under Heck coupling reaction conditions, followed by reduction of the C═C bond, for example, via hydrogenation, to afford intermediate 7-13b.
Useful intermediates 7-4c, 7-10c, and 7-13c can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 7-3 (similar to those depicted in Scheme 7-2). Alternatively, in Scheme 7-1 wherein the compounds have a moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂(i.e. compounds 7-1c, 7-3c, 7-5c, 7-7c,), the moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂can be replaced with a moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (wherein ttt is 0, 1, or 2). Subsequently, the moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (such as those in compounds 7-3c and 7-7c) can be reduced to —(CR′R″)_ttt—CH₂NH₂under suitable conditions such as hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel, to provide additional useful intermediates.
Useful intermediates 7-2d, 7-4d, 7-10d, and 7-13d can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 7-4 (similar to the reactions depicted in Scheme 7). The trimethylsilyl (TMS) group of 7-2-2d can be removed in the presence of a base such as K₂CO₃to give compound 7-2d.
As shown in Scheme 8, aryl (or heteroaryl) methyl ketone 8-1 can be reacted with aryl (or heteroaryl) aldehyde 8-2 under basic conditions [(such as in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide (e.g. NaOH)] to afford derivative 8-3. Intermediate 8-3 can be reduced via hydrogenation (such as in the presence of Pd/C, hydrogen and acetic acid) to afford compound 8-4, which further can be reduced to compound 8-5. R^201aand R^301agroups of compounds 8-4 or 8-5 can undergo further chemical transformations. For example, the NO₂group can be reduced to NH₂; and a protected amino group can be de-protected to NH₂. Alternatively, in Scheme 8 wherein the compounds have a moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂(i.e. R^301ais NO₂), the moiety —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂can be replaced with a moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (wherein ttt is 0, 1, or 2). Subsequently, the moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (such as those in compounds 8-3 and 8-5) can be reduced to —(CR′R″)_ttt—CH₂NH₂under suitable conditions such as hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel, to provide additional useful intermediates.
Useful intermediates 8-3a, 8-4a, and 8-5a can be made according to the methods outlined in Scheme 8-1 (similar to the reactions depicted in Scheme 8). Alternatively, in Scheme 8-1 wherein the compounds have a moiety of —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂(i.e. R^201ais NO₂), the moiety —(CR′R″)_t—NO₂can be replaced with a moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (wherein ttt is 0, 1, or 2). Subsequently, the moiety of —(CR′R″)_ttt—CN (such as those in compounds 8-3a and 8-5a) can be reduced to —(CR′R″)_ttt—CH₂NH₂under suitable conditions such as hydrogenation in the presence of Raney nickel, to provide additional useful intermediates.
Some additional useful intermediates can be made by the methods outlined in Scheme 9. Aryl (or heteroaryl) compound 9-1 can be reacted with a halogenating reagent [such as bromine (Br₂), N-bromoacetamide (NBA), N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH), 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH), N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS)] to afford halogenated compounds 9-2.
A fluorinated compound 9-3 can be reacted with an amine, an alcohol, or thioalcohol in the presence of a base (such as a tertiary amine, e.g., TEA) to form compound 9-4. Where R⁵⁰is SR^a1, compound 9-4 can be oxidized to sulfinyl or sulfonyl compounds 9-5 (wherein y is 1 or 2), using an oxidizing reagent such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA).
A fluorinated compound 9-6 can be reacted with an amine, an alcohol, or thioalcohol in the presence of a base (such as a tertiary amine, e.g., triethylamine or TEA) to form compound 9-7. Where R⁵⁰is SR^a1, compound 9-7 can be oxidized to sulfinyl or sulfonyl compound 9-8 (wherein y is 1 or 2), using an oxidizing reagent such as m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). The nitro (NO₂) group of compound 9-8 can be reduced, for example, in the presence of Fe (or Zn) and acetic acid, followed by introduction of an amine protecting group (such as Boc), to afford compound 9-9.
As shown in Scheme 10, compound 10-1 [wherein R⁴can be H, methyl, ethyl, or the like; and Lg³is a leaving group such as halo (e.g., chloro)] can be reacted with substituted heteroaromatic compound 10-2 [wherein Lg¹and Lg²are each, independently, a leaving group such as halo (e.g., chloro)] in the presence of a suitable base (such as an inorganic base, for example a metal carbonate (e.g., potassium carbonate), a metal hydride (e.g., sodium hydride), a metal hydroxide (e.g., sodium hydroxide), a metal alkoxide (e.g., sodium ethoxide)] and/or in the presence of a transition metal catalyst for example a palladium catalyst [e.g., Pd(PPh₃)₄] to afford compound 10-3. Reaction of compound 10-3 and alkene 10-4 under Heck coupling reaction conditions gives alkene compound 10-5. Reduction of the C═C bond (between the two aromatic rings) of compound 10-5 to a saturated bond under an appropriate condition such as palladium catalyzed hydrogenation or using a hydrazine compound, followed by optional deprotection (when R¹⁰¹is an amine protecting group) and ring closure step [in the presence of an acid (e.g. p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) or HCl,) or a Pd catalyst], gives compound 10-6.

As shown in Scheme 12, arylamine 12-1 can be converted to its corresponding diazonium salt intermediate using NaNO₂under acidic condition, followed by conversion of the diazonium salt to halide 12-2 [Se e.g., “The Chemistry of Functional Groups. The Chemistry of Diazonium and Diazo Groups” Wiley: New York, 1978, the articles by Hegarty, pt. 2, pp. 511-591, and Schank, pt. 2, pp. 645-657; See also, P. S. Kalsi, “Organic Reactions Stereochemistry and Mechanism: Through Solved Problems”; Chapter 6, page 362 (Sandmeyer Reaction), New Age Publishers, 4th edition, 2006]. The compound 12-2 can be converted to a carbamate compound such as the BOC-protected amine 12-3 via Curtis rearrangement [See Ende, D. J. a.; DeVries, K. M.; Clifford, P. J.; Brenek, S. J. Org. Proc. Res. Dev. 1998, 2, 382-392]. The CN group of compound 12-3 can be reduced to CH₂NH₂, followed by coupling to compound 12-5 (for example, in the presence of a base or a Pd catalyst), to afford compound 12-6. Compound 12-6 can be reacted with alkene 12-7 under Heck Reaction conditions to afford compound 12-8. Reduction of the C═C bond (between the two aromatic rings) of compound 12-8 to a saturated bond via hydrogenation, followed by ring closure step (for example in the presence of a Pd catalyst or an acid such as HCl or PTSA), gives compound 12-9. Optional deprotection (when R¹⁰¹is an amine protecting group) of compound 12-9, followed by further chemical modifications such as acylation (or sulfonylation, urea formation, carbamate formation, or arylation/heteraylation) can afford different compounds of invention such as compound 12-10.
As shown in Scheme 13, compound 13-6 can be synthesized starting from amine 13-1, by chemical reactions similar to those for making compound 12-9 in Scheme 12. After the demethylation step (see. e.g. J. F. W. McOmie, M. L. Watts, and D. E. West, “Demethylation of aryl methyl ethers by boron tribromide”; Tetrahedron, Volume 24, Issue 5, 1968, Pages 2289-2292), the OH group of compound 13-6 can undergo further chemical modifications such as ether formation (R³⁰⁰can be, e.g., C₁,₆alkyl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, or heterocycloalkylalkyl), ester formation (R³⁰⁰can be, e.g., C(O)R^b1), or carbamate formation (R³⁰⁰can be, e.g., C(O)NR^c1R^d1).
Additional starting materials and intermediates useful for making the compounds of the present invention can be obtained from chemical vendors such as Sigma-Aldrich or can be made according to methods described in the chemical art. For example, introducing pentafluorosulfanyl (SF₅) group to aromatic rings can be achieved according to the methods disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,919,484 and/or the references cited therein.
Those skilled in the art can recognize that in all of the schemes described herein, if there are functional (reactive) groups present on a substituent group such as R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, R¹⁰, L¹, L², etc., further modification can be made if appropriate and/or desired. For example, a CN group can be hydrolyzed to afford an amide group; a carboxylic acid can be converted to an amide; a carboxylic acid can be converted to an ester, which in turn can be reduced to an alcohol, which in turn can be further modified. For another example, an OH group can be converted into a better leaving group such as mesylate, which in turn is suitable for nucleophilic substitution, such as by CN. For another example, an —S— can be oxidized to —S(O)— and/or —S(O)₂—. For yet another example, unsaturated bond such as C═C or C≡C can be reduced to saturated bond by hydrogenation. In some embodiments, a primary amine or a secondary amine moiety (present on a substituent group such as R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, R¹⁰, L¹, L², etc.) can be converted to amide, sulfonamide, urea, or thiourea moiety by reacting it with an appropriate reagent such as an acid chloride, a sulfonyl chloride, an isocyanate, or a thioisocyanate compound. In some embodiments, a primary amine, a secondary amine, or a tertiary amine moiety (present on a substituent group such as R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵, R⁶, R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, R¹⁰, L¹, L², etc.) can be alkylated to form a quaternary ammonium salt. One skilled in the art will recognize further such modifications. Thus, a compound of Formula I (such as compound 1-2 of Scheme 1) having a substituent which contains a functional group can be converted to another compound of Formula I having a different substituent group.

Pharmaceutical Formulations and Dosage Forms

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the invention can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including transdermal, epidermal, ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal or intranasal), oral or parenteral. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal intramuscular or injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable. Coated condoms, gloves and the like may also be useful.
This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds of the invention above in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (excipients). In making the compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.
The compounds of the invention may be milled using known milling procedures such as wet milling to obtain a particle size appropriate for tablet formation and for other formulation types. Finely divided (nano particulate) preparations of the compounds of the invention can be prepared by processes known in the art, for example see International Patent Application No. WO 2002/000196.
Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.
The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 1000 mg (1 g), more usually about 100 to about 500 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and can be generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. For example, the dosage of the active compounds of the invention as employed for the treatment of a patient in need thereof (such as an adult human) may range from 0.1 to 3000 mg per day, depending on the route and frequency of administration. Such a dosage corresponds to 0.001 to 50 mg/kg per day. In some embodiments, the dosage of the active compounds of the invention as employed for the treatment of a patient in need thereof (such as an adult human) may range from 1 to 2000 mg per day, from 1 to 1000 mg per day, from 10 to 1000 mg per day, or from 10 to 500 mg per day. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient can be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid pre-formulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these pre-formulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid pre-formulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, about 0.1 to about 1000 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.
The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the like.
The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.
The therapeutic dosage of the compounds of the present invention can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds of the invention can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.
The compositions of the invention can further include one or more additional pharmaceutical agents such as a chemotherapeutic, steroid, anti-inflammatory compound, or immunosuppressant, examples of which are listed hereinabove.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present invention relates to labeled compounds of the invention (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) that would be useful not only in radio-imaging but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for localizing and quantitating the enzyme in tissue samples, including human, and for identifying ligands by inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Accordingly, the present invention includes enzyme assays that contain such labeled compounds.
The present invention further includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is a compound of the invention where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of the present invention include but are not limited to ²H (also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium), ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. The radionuclide that is incorporated in the radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro receptor labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I, ³⁵S or will generally be most useful. For radio imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br will generally be most useful.
It is understood that a “radio-labeled compound” is a compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments the radionuclide is selected from ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br.
In some embodiments, the labeled compounds of the present invention contain a fluorescent label.
Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes and fluorescent labels into organic compounds are well known in the art.
A labeled compound of the invention (radio-labeled, fluorescent-labeled, etc.) can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. For example, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) which is labeled can be evaluated for its ability to bind a JAK/ALK by monitoring its concentration variation when contacting with the JAK/ALK, through tracking the labeling. For another example, a test compound (labeled) can be evaluated for its ability to reduce binding of another compound which is known to bind to JAK/ALK (i.e., standard compound). Accordingly, the ability of a test compound to compete with the standard compound for binding to the JAK/ALK directly correlates to its binding affinity. Conversely, in some other screening assays, the standard compound is labeled and test compounds are unlabeled. Accordingly, the concentration of the labeled standard compound is monitored in order to evaluate the competition between the standard compound and the test compound, and the relative binding affinity of the test compound is thus ascertained.

Kits

The present invention also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of JAK/ALK-associated diseases or disorders such as prostate cancer, renal cancer, hepatic cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and other diseases referred to herein which include one or more containers containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, etc., as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelines for administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.
The invention will be described in greater detail by way of specific examples. The following examples are offered for illustrative purposes, and are not intended to limit the invention in any manner. Those of skill in the art will readily recognize a variety of non-critical parameters which can be changed or modified to yield essentially the same results. In some instances where the compounds of the examples were isolated by preparative HPLC in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) or other acid, the compound may have been obtained as the corresponding salt. Certain compounds of the Examples were found to be inhibitors of JAK/ALK according to one or more of the assays provided herein. In some embodiments, the IC₅₀value for the compound of invention with respect one or more of JAK/ALK is less than about 100, 80, 50, 20, 10, 8, 5, 2, or 1 μM. In some embodiments, the IC₅₀value for the compound of invention with respect to one or more of ALK is less than about 100, 80, 50, 20, 10, 8, 5, 2, or 1 μM. In some embodiments, the IC₅₀value for the compound of invention with respect to one or more of JAK is less than about 100, 80, 50, 20, 10, 8, 5, 2, or 1 μM. In some embodiments, the IC₅₀value for the compound of invention with respect one or more of JAK/ALK is less than about 1000, 800, 500, 200, 100, 80, 50, 20, or 10 nM. Certain compounds described in Tables 1 and in the Example section were tested for inhibitory activity of JAK/ALK targets according to assays such as those described herein or those known in the art [e.g., ALK assays described in WO 04/079326; and TYK2 assays described by James E. Thompson et. al, “Photochemical preparation of a pyridone containing tetracycle: A JAK protein kinase inhibitor,” Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Volume 12, Issue 8, 22 Apr. 2002, Pages 1219-1223]. For instance, Examples 1-10 and 12-16 were found to have IC₅₀values less than 1000 nM, 800 nM, 500 nM, 200 nM, or 100 nM for at least one of JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, TYK2, and ALK. Some exemplary data of the compounds of the invention are shown in Table 1 in the experimental section.

In Vitro JAK Kinase Assay

One or more compounds herein were tested for inhibitory activity of JAK targets according to the following in vitro assay described in Park et al., Analytical Biochemistry 1999, 269, 94-104. The catalytic domains of human JAK1 (a.a. 837-1142), JAK2 (a.a. 828-1132) and JAK3 (a.a. 781-1124) with an N-terminal His tag were expressed using baculovirus in insect cells and purified. The catalytic activity of JAK1, JAK2 or JAK3 was assayed by measuring the phosphorylation of a biotinylated peptide. The phosphorylated peptide was detected by homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF). IC₅₀s of compounds were measured for each kinase in the reactions that contain the enzyme, ATP and 500 nM peptide in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.8) buffer with 100 mM NaCl, 5 mM DTT, and 0.1 mg/mL (0.01%) BSA. The ATP concentration in the reactions was 90 μM for JAK1, 30 μM for JAK2 and 3 μM for JAK3. Reactions were carried out at room temperature for 1 hr and then stopped with 20 μL 45 mM EDTA, 300 nM SA-APC, 6 nM Eu-Py20 in assay buffer (Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass.). Binding to the Europium labeled antibody took place for 40 minutes and HTRF signal was measured on a Fusion plate reader (Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass.).

Cancer cell lines dependent on cytokines and hence JAK/STAT signal transduction, for growth, were plated at 6000 cells per well (96 well plate format) in RPMI 1640, 10% FBS, and 1 nG/mL of appropriate cytokine. Compounds were added to the cells in DMSO/media (final concentration 0.2% DMSO) and incubated for 72 hours at 37° C., 5% CO₂. The effect of compound on cell viability was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) followed by TopCount (Perkin Elmer, Boston, Mass.) quantitation. Potential off-target effects of compounds were measured in parallel using a non-JAK driven cell line with the same assay readout. All experiments were performed in duplicate.
The above cell lines can also be used to examine the effects of compounds on phosphorylation of JAK kinases or potential downstream substrates such as STAT proteins, Akt, Shp2, or Erk. These experiments can be performed following an overnight cytokine starvation, followed by a brief preincubation with compound (2 hours or less) and cytokine stimulation of approximately 1 hour or less. Proteins are then extracted from cells and analyzed by techniques familiar to those schooled in the art including Western blotting or ELISAs using antibodies that can differentiate between phosphorylated and total protein. These experiments can utilize normal or cancer cells to investigate the activity of compounds on tumor cell survival biology or on mediators of inflammatory disease. For example, with regards to the latter, cytokines such as IL-6, IL-12, IL-23, or IFN can be used to stimulate JAK activation resulting in phosphorylation of STAT protein(s) and potentially in transcriptional profiles (assessed by array or qPCR technology) or production and/or secretion of proteins, such as IL-17. The ability of compounds to inhibit these cytokine mediated effects can be measured using techniques common to those schooled in the art.
Compounds herein can also be tested in cellular models designed to evaluate their potency and activity against mutant JAKs, for example, the JAK2V617F mutation found in myeloid proliferative disorders. These experiments often utilize cytokine dependent cells of hematological lineage (e.g. BaF/3) into which the wild-type or mutant JAK kinases are ectopically expressed (James, C., et al. Nature 434:1144-1148; Staerk, J., et al. JBC 280:41893-41899). Endpoints include the effects of compounds on cell survival, proliferation, and phosphorylated JAK, STAT, Akt, or Erk proteins.
Certain compounds herein have been or can be evaluated for their activity inhibiting T-cell proliferation. Such as assay can be considered a second cytokine (i.e. JAK) driven proliferation assay and also a simplistic assay of immune suppression or inhibition of immune activation. The following is a brief outline of how such experiments can be performed. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are prepared from human whole blood samples using Ficoll Hypaque separation method and T-cells (fraction 2000) can be obtained from PBMCs by elutriation. Freshly isolated human T-cells can be maintained in culture medium (RPMI 1640 supplemented with10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin) at a density of 2×10⁶cells/mL at 37° C. for up to 2 days. For IL-2 stimulated cell proliferation analysis, T-cells are first treated with Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) at a final concentration of 10 μg/mL for 72 hours. After washing once with PBS, 6000 cells/well are plated in 96-well plates and treated with compounds at different concentrations in the culture medium in the presence of 100 U/mL human IL-2 (ProSpec-Tany TechnoGene; Rehovot, Israel). The plates are incubated at 37° C. for 72 hours and the proliferation index is assessed using CellTiter-Glo Luminescent reagents following the manufactory suggested protocol (Promega; Madison, Wis.).

Example CC

In Vivo Anti-Tumor Efficacy

Compounds herein can be evaluated in human tumor xenograft models in immune compromised mice. For example, a tumorigenic variant of the INA-6 plasmacytoma cell line can be used to inoculate SCID mice subcutaneously (Burger, R., et al. Hematol J. 2:42-53, 2001). Tumor bearing animals can then be randomized into drug or vehicle treatment groups and different doses of compounds can be administered by any number of the usual routes including oral, i.p., or continuous infusion using implantable pumps. Tumor growth is followed over time using calipers. Further, tumor samples can be harvested at any time after the initiation of treatment for analysis as described above (Example B) to evaluate compound effects on JAK activity and downstream signaling pathways. In addition, selectivity of the compound(s) can be assessed using xenograft tumor models that are driven by other know kinases (e.g. Bcr-Abl) such as the K562 tumor model.

Example DD

Murine Skin Contact Delayed Hypersensitivity Response Test

Compounds herein can also be tested for their efficacies (of inhibiting JAK targets) in the T-cell driven murine delayed hypersensitivity test model. The murine skin contact delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response is considered to be a valid model of clinical contact dermatitis, and other T-lymphocyte mediated immune disorders of the skin, such as psoriasis (Immunol Today. 1998 January; 19(1):37-44). Murine DTH shares multiple characteristics with psoriasis, including the immune infiltrate, the accompanying increase in inflammatory cytokines, and keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Furthermore, many classes of agents that are efficacious in treating psoriasis in the clinic are also effective inhibitors of the DTH response in mice (Agents Actions. 1993 January; 38(1-2):116-21).
On Day 0 and 1, Balb/c mice are sensitized with a topical application, to their shaved abdomen with the antigen 2,4,dinitro-fluorobenzene (DNFB). On day 5, ears are measured for thickness using an engineer's micrometer. This measurement is recorded and used as a baseline. Both of the animals' ears are then challenged by a topical application of DNFB in a total of 20 μL (10 μL on the internal pinna and 10 μL on the external pinna) at a concentration of 0.2%. Twenty-four to seventy-two hours after the challenge, ears are measured again. Treatment with the test compounds was given throughout the sensitization and challenge phases (day-1 to day 7) or prior to and throughout the challenge phase (usually afternoon of day 4 to day 7). Treatment of the test compounds (in different concentration) was administered either systemically or topically (topical application of the treatment to the ears). Efficacies of the test compounds are indicated by a reduction in ear swelling comparing to the situation without the treatment. Compounds causing a reduction of 20% or more were considered efficacious. In some experiments, the mice are challenged but not sensitized (negative control).
The inhibitive effect (inhibiting activation of the JAK-STAT pathways) of the test compounds can be confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis. Activation of the JAK-STAT pathway(s) results in the formation and translocation of functional transcription factors. Further, the influx of immune cells and the increased proliferation of keratinocytes should also provide unique expression profile changes in the ear that can be investigated and quantified. Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded ear sections (harvested after the challenge phase in the DTH model) are subjected to immunohistochemical analysis using an antibody that specifically interacts with phosphorylated STAT3 (clone 58E12, Cell Signaling Technologies). The mouse ears are treated with test compounds, vehicle, or dexamethasone (a clinically efficacious treatment for psoriasis), or without any treatment, in the DTH model for comparisons. Test compounds and the dexamethasone can produce similar transcriptional changes both qualitatively and quantitatively, and both the test compounds and dexamethasone can reduce the number of infiltrating cells. Both systemically and topical administration of the test compounds can produce inhibitive effects, i.e., reduction in the number of infiltrating cells and inhibition of the transcriptional changes.

Example EE

In Vivo Anti-Inflammatory Activity

Compounds herein can be evaluated in rodent or non-rodent models designed to replicate a single or complex inflammation response. For instance, rodent models of arthritis can be used to evaluate the therapeutic potential of compounds dosed preventatively or therapeutically. These models include but are not limited to mouse or rat collagen-induced arthritis, rat adjuvant-induced arthritis, and collagen antibody-induced arthritis. Autoimmune diseases including, but not limited to, multiple sclerosis, type I-diabetes mellitus, uveoretinitis, thyroditis, myasthenia gravis, immunoglobulin nephropathies, myocarditis, airway sensitization (asthma), lupus, or colitis may also be used to evaluate the therapeutic potential of compounds herein. These models are well established in the research community and are familiar to those schooled in the art (Current Protocols in Immunology, Vol 3., Coligan, J. E. et al, Wiley Press.; Methods in Molecular Biology: Vol. 225, Inflammation Protocols., Winyard, P. G. and Willoughby, D. A., Humana Press, 2003.).

pALK Assay

To determine the activity of numerous compounds on the phosphorylation of ALK in cells, an ELISA method testing lymphoma cell lysates was developed. Human lymphoma cells were treated with examples for 4 hours. Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (Cell Signaling #9803, Danvers, Mass.) supplemented with complete mini protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, Ind.) on ice and after 15 minutes, lysates were cleared by centrifugation. According to the manufacturer's instructions, lysates were placed in wells precoated with anti-phospho-ALK antibody (Cell Signaling #7324, Danvers, Mass.) and allowed to incubate overnight at 4° C. After washing, an anti-ALK antibody is added to wells. Colorimetric (TMB) detection of HRP-linked anti-mouse IgG is used to quantify relative levels of phospho-ALK.

Example GG

Cell Proliferation Assay

The activity of numerous compounds on ALK driven proliferation was assessed using Karpas-299 human anaplastic lymphoma cells. Cells were seeded at 2500 cells per well in clear bottom 96 well plates. On the first day, replicate plates were treated with various concentrations of compounds or processed using the manufacturer's instructions for Cell Titer Glo (Promega, Madison, Wis.) to determine baseline levels. After 72 hours, the dosed plate was processed using Cell Titer Glo. After calculating the specific proliferation of cells in the presence of compounds, IC₅₀s were determined using Prism software (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).

ALK HTRF Kinase Assay

Materials: Recombinant Human Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase was purchased from Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif. Peptide substrate (Biotin-KKKGPWLEEEEEAYGWLDF-amide) was custom synthesized at EZBiolab, Westfield, Ind. Streptavidin conjugated SureLight-Allophycocyania and LANCE Eu-W1024 labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody were from Perkin-Elmer, Boston, Mass. Microplates were from Corning Inc., Acton, Mass. All other reagents were from Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.
HTRF kinase assay: 40 μL reactions were run in black 384 well polystyrene plates in assay buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.8, 100 mM NaCI, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, 5 mM DTT), containing 0.5 μM Biotinylated peptide substrate, 10 mM MgCl₂, 90 μM ATP, and 0.25 nM enzyme for 2 hours at 25° C. Reactions were stopped by addition of 20 μL assay buffer supplemented with an additional 50 mM NaCl, 0.4 mg/mL BSA, 45 mM EDTA, 4.5 nM LANCE Eu-W1024 labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody and 200 nM streptavidin conjugated SureLight-allophycocyanin. Plates were read in Fusion α-FP instrument (Perkin-Elmer). The concentrations needed to reach 50% inhibition, the IC₅₀value, were determined by fitting the assay signal to the following equation using Graphpad Prizm.
Signal=Bottom+(Top−Bottom)/(1+10̂((Log(IC50)−Log [I])*Hill Slope)
