Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION FOR A STANDARD PATENT Name of Applicant: Address for Service: Invention Title: Bayer Corporation CULLEN CO Patent Trade Mark Attorneys, 239 George Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Australia Inhibition of Raf Kinase Using Substituted Heterocyclic Ureas The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it, known to us: Field of the Invention This invention relates to the us eof a group of aryl ureas in treating raf mediated diseases, and pharmaceutical compositions for use in such therapy.
Background of the Invention The p21"' oncogene is a major contributor to the development and progression of human solid cancers and is mutated in 30% of all human cancers (Bolton et al. Ann.
Rep. Med. Chem. 1994, 29, 165-74; Bos. Cancer Res. 1989, 49, 4682-9). In its normal, unmutated form, the ras protein is a key element of the signal transduction cascade directed by growth factor receptors in almost all tissues (Avruch et al. Trends Biochem. Sci. 1994, 19, 279-83). Biochemically, ras is a guanine nucleotide binding protein, and cycling between a GTP-bound activated and a GDP-bound resting form is strictly controlled by ras' endogenous GTPase activity and other regulatory proteins.
In the ras mutants in cancer cells, the endogenous GTPase activity is alleviated and, therefore, the protein delivers constitutive growth signals to downstream effectors such as the enzyme raf kinase. This leads to the cancerous growth of the cells which carry these mutants (Magnuson et al. Semin. Cancer Biol. 1994, 5, 247-53). It has been shown that inhibiting the effect of active ras by inhibiting the raf kinase signaling pathway by administration of deactivating antibodies to raf kinase or by coexpression of dominant negative raf kinase or dominant negative MEK, the substrate of raf kinase, leads to the reversion of transformed cells to the normal growth phenotype (see: Daum et al. Trends Biochem. Sci. 1994, 19, 474-80; Fridman et al. J Biol. Chem. 1994, 269, 30105-8. Kolch et al. (Nature 1991, 349, 426-28) have further indicated that inhibition of raf expression by antisense RNA blocks cell proliferation in membrane-associated oncogenes. Similarly, inhibition of raf kinase (by antisense oligodeoxynucleotides) has been correlated in vitro and in vivo with inhibition of the growth of a variety of human tumor types (Monia et al., Nat. Med. 1996, 2, 668-75).
Summary of the Invention The present invention provides compounds which are inhibitors of the enzyme raf kinase. Since the enzyme is a downstream effector of p21"', the instant inhibitors are useful in pharmaceutical compositions for human or veterinary use where inhibition of the raf kinase pathway is indicated, in the treatment of tumors and/or cancerous cell growth mediated by raf kinase. In particular, the compounds are useful in the treatment of human or animal, murine cancer, since the progression of these cancers is dependent upon the ras protein signal transduction cascade and therefore susceptible to treatment by interruption of the cascade, by inhibiting raf kinase. Accordingly, the compounds of the invention are useful in treating solid cancers, such as, for example, carcinomas of the lungs, pancreas, thyroid, bladder or colon, myeloid disorders myeloid leukemia) or adenomas villous colon adenoma).
The present invention therefore provides compounds generally described as aryl ureas, including both aryl and heteroaryl analogues, which inhibit the raf pathway. The invention also provides a method for treating a raf mediated disease state in humans or mammals. Thus, the invention is directed to compounds and methods for the treatment of cancerous cell growth mediated by raf kinase comprising administering a compound of formula I: 0 A-NH-C-NH-B I wherein B is generally an unsubstituted or substituted, up to tricyclic, aryl or heteroaryl moiety with up to 30 carbon atoms with at least one 5 or 6 member aromatic structure containing 0-4 members of the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. A is a heteroaryl moiety discussed in more detail below.
The aryl and heteroaryl moiety of B may contain separate cyclic structures and can include a combination of aryl, heteroaryl and cycloalkyl structures. The substituents for these aryl and heteroaryl moieties can vary widely and include halogen, hydrogen, hydrosulfide, cyano, nitro, amines and various carbon-based moieties, including those which contain one or more of sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen and/or halogen and are discussed more particularly below.
Suitable aryl and heteroaryl moieties for B of formula I include, but are not limited to aromatic ring structures containing 4-30 carbon atoms and 1-3 rings, at least one of which is a 5-6 member aromatic ring. One or more of these rings may have 1-4 carbon atoms replaced by oxygen, nitrogen and/or sulfur atoms.
Examples of suitable aromatic ring structures include phenyl, pyridinyl, naphthyl, pyrimidinyl, benzothiazolyl, quinoline, isoquinoline, phthalimidinyl and combinations thereof, such as, diphenyl ether (phenyloxyphenyl), diphenyl thioether (phenylthiophenyl), diphenyl amine (phenylaminophenyl), phenylpyridinyl ether (pyridinyloxyphenyl), pyridinylmethylphenyl, phenylpyridinyl thioether (pyridinyithiophenyl), phenylbenzothiazolyl ether (benzothiazolyloxyphenyl), phenylbenzothiazolyl thioether (benzothiazolylthiophenyl), phenylpyrimidinyl ether, phenylquinoline thioether, phenylnaphthyl ether, pyridinylnapthyl ether, pyridinylnaphthyl thioether, and phthalimidylmethylphenyl.
Examples of suitable heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, 5-12 carbonatom aromatic rings or ring systems containing 1-3 rings, at least one of which is aromatic, in which one or more, 1-4 carbon atoms in one or more of the rings can be replaced by oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur atoms. Each ring typically has 3-7 atoms.

The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutically acceptable salts of formula I. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known to those skilled in the art and include basic salts of inorganic and organic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulphonic acid, sulphonic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, phenylacetic acid, and mandelic acid. In addition, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid salts of inorganic bases, such as salts containing alkaline cations Li- Na' or alkaline earth cations Mg' 2 Ca' 2 or Ba'2), the ammonium cation, as well as acid salts of organic bases, including aliphatic and aromatic substituted ammonium, and quaternary ammonium cations such as those arising from protonation or peralkylation of triethylamine, N,N-diethylamine, NN-dicyclohexylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 1,4-diazabiclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN) and 1,8diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene
(DBU).
A number of the compounds of Formula I possess asymmetric carbons and can therefore exist in racemic and optically active forms. Methods of separation of enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures are well known to one skilled in the art.
The present invention encompasses any isolated racemic or optically active form of compounds described in Formula I which possess Raf kinase inhibitory activity.
General Preparative Methods The compounds of Formula I may be prepared by use of known chemical reactions and procedures, some of which are commercially available. Nevertheless, the following general preparative methods are presented to aid one of skill in the art in synthesizing the inhibitors, with more detailed examples being presented in the experimental section describing the working examples.
Heterocyclic amines may be synthesized utilizing known methodology (Katritzky, et al. Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry; Permagon Press: Oxford, UK (1984).
March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3" Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985)). For 19 example. 3 -substituted-5-aminoisoxazoles are available by the reaction of hydroxylamine with an a-cyanoketone as shown in Scheme I. Cyanoketone 2, in turn, is available from the reaction of acetamidate ion with an appropriate acyl derivative, such as an ester, an acid halide, or an acid anhydride. Reaction of an cyanoketone with hydrazine (R 2 or a monosubstituted hydrazine affords the 3substituted- or 1, 3 -disubstituted-5-aminopyrazole Pyrazoles unsubstituted at N-I
(R
2 may be acylated at N-1, for example using di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, to give pyrazole 7. Similarly, reaction of nitrile 8 with an -thioacetate ester gives the substituted-3-amino-2-thiophenecarboxylate Ishizaki et al. JP 6025221).
Decarboxylation of ester 9 may be achieved by protection of the amine, for example as the tert-butoxy (BOC) carbamate followed by saponification and treatment with acid. When BOC protection is used, decarboxylation may be accompanied by deprotection giving the substituted 3-thiopheneammonium salt 11. Alternatively, ammonium salt 11 may be directly generated through saponification of ester 9 followed by treatment with acid.

Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3" Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985); Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH Publishers: New York (1989)). As shown in Scheme II, aryl amines are commonly synthesized by reduction of nitroaryls using a metal catalyst, such as Ni, Pd, or Pt, and H 2 or a hydride transfer agent, such as formate, cyclohexadiene, or a borohydride (Rylander. Hydrogenation Methods; Academic Press: London, UK (1985)). Nitroaryls may also be directly reduced using a strong hydride source, such as LiAIH 4 (Seyden-Penne. Reductions by the Alumino- and Borohydrides in Organic Synthesis; VCH Publishers: New York (1991)), or using a 21 zero valent metal, such as Fe, Sn or Ca, often in acidic media. Many methods exist for the synthesis of nitroaryls (March. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3 Ed.; John Wiley: New York (1985). Larock. Comprehensive Organic Transformations; VCH Publishers: New York (1989)).

Thus, nitroaryls substituted with
HNO
3 Ar-H 0 ArNO 2 potential leaving groups (eg. F, Cl, Br, etc.) may undergo substitution reactions on treatment with nucleophiles, such as thiolate (exemplified in Scheme III) or phenoxide. Nitroaryls may also undergo Ullman-type coupling reactions (Scheme

The isocyanate may also be derived from a heterocyclic carboxylic acid derivative, such as an ester, an Sacid halide or an anhydride by a Curtius-type rearrangement. Thus, reaction of acid derivative 21 with an azide source, followed by rearrangement affords the isocyanate.
The corresponding carboxylic acid (22) may also be subjected to Curtius-type Srearrangements using diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) or a similar reagent. A urea 0 may also be generated from the reaction of an aryl isocyanate (20) with a heterocyclic I0 amine.

The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions including a compound of Formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a physiologically acceptable carrier.
The compounds may be administered orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spray or sublingually, rectally or vaginally in dosage unit formulations. The term 'administration by injection' includes intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous and parenteral injections, as well as use of infusion techniques. Dermal administration may include topical application or transdermal administration. One or more compounds may be present in association with one or more non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and if desired other active ingredients.
Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any suitable method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions. Such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of diluents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; and binding agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. These compounds may also be prepared in solid, rapidly released form.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally occurring phosphatide, for example, lecithin, or condensation products or an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethylene oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for.preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example, sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.
The compounds may also be in the form of non-aqueous liquid formulations, oily suspensions which may be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or peanut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide palatable oral preparations. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative and flavoring and coloring agents.
The compounds may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing 26 the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal or vaginal, temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum or vagina to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

This protein solution ]iL) is mixed with water (5 |iL) or with compounds diluted with distilled water from mM stock solutions of compounds dissolved in DMSO. The kinase reaction is initiated by adding 25 VL [y-"P]ATP (1000-3000 dpm/pmol) in 80 mM Tris-HCI, pH 120 mM NaCI, 1.6 mM DTT, 16 mM MgCI,. The reaction mixtures are incubated at 32 usually for 22 min. Incorporation of "P into protein is assayed by harvesting the reaction onto phosphocellulose mats, washing away free counts with a 1% phosphoric acid solution and quantitating phosphorylation by liquid scintillation counting. For high throughput screening, 10 p.M ATP and 0.4 piM MEK are used. In some experiments, the kinase reaction is stopped by adding an equal amount of Laemmli sample buffer. Samples are boiled 3 min and the proteins resolved by electrophoresis on 7.5% Laemmli gels. Gels are fixed, dried and exposed to an imaging plate (Fuji). Phosphorylation is analyzed using a Fujix Bio-Imaging Analyzer System.
All compounds exemplified displayed IC 5 so of between 1 nM and 10 p.M.
Cellular Assay: For in vitro growth assay, human tumor cell lines, including but not limited to HCT116 and DLD-1, containing mutated K-ras genes are used in standard proliferation assays for anchorage dependent growth on plastic or anchorage independent growth in soft agar. Human tumor cell lines were obtained from ATCC (Rockville MD) and maintained in RPMI with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum and 200 mM glutamine. Cell culture media and additives are obtained from Gibco/BRL (Gaithersburg, MD) except for fetal bovine serum (JRH Biosciences, Lenexa, KS). In a standard proliferation assay for anchorage dependent growth, 3 X cells are seeded into 96-well tissue culture plates and allowed to attach overnight at 37 °C in a 5% CO, incubator. Compounds are titrated in media in dilution series and added to 96 well cell cultures. Cells are allowed to grow 5 days typically with a feeding of fresh compound containing media on day three. Proliferation is monitored by measuring metabolic activity with standard XTT colorimetric assay (Boehringer Mannheim) measured by standard ELISA plate reader at OD 490/560, or by measuring 'H-thymidine incorporation into DNA following an 8 h culture with 1 .Cu 'H-thymidine, harvesting the cells onto glass fiber mats using a cell harvester and measuring 'H-thymidine incorporation by liquid scintillant counting.
For anchorage independent cell growth, cells are plated at 1 x 10' to 3 x 10' in 0.4% Seaplaque agarose in RPMI complete media, overlaying a bottom layer containing only 0.64% agar in RPMI complete media in 24-well tissue culture plates. Complete media plus dilution series of compounds are added to wells and incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO, incubator for 10-14 days with repeated feedings of fresh media containing compound at 3-4 day intervals. Colony formation is monitored and total cell mass, average colony size and number of colonies are quantitated using image capture technology and image analysis software (Image Pro Plus, media Cybernetics).
These assays establish that the compounds of Formula I are active to inhibit raf kinase activity and to inhibit oncogenic cell growth.
In Vivo Assay: An in vivo assay of the inhibitory effect of the compounds on tumors solid cancers) mediated by raf kinase can be performed as follows: CDI nu/nu mice (6-8 weeks old) are injected subcutaneously into the flank at 1 x 106 cells with human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. The mice are dosed i.v. or p.o.
at 10, 30, 100, or 300 mg/Kg beginning on approximately day 10, when tumor size is between 50-100 mg. Animals are dosed for 14 consecutive days once a day; tumor size was monitored with calipers twice a week.
The inhibitory effect of the compounds on raf kinase and therefore on tumors solid cancers) mediated by raf kinase can further be demonstrated in vivo according to the technique of Monia et al. (Nat. Med. 1996, 2, 668-75).
