Definitions

  • the present invention relates to benzene sulfonamide thiazole and oxazole compounds, compositions containing the same, as well as processes for the preparation and methods of using such compounds and compositions.
  • Both receptor tyrosine kinases and serine/threonine kinases have been implicated in cellular signaling pathways that control cell function, division, growth, differentiation, and death (apoptosis) through reversible phosphorylation of the hydroxyl groups of tyrosine or serine and threonine residues, respectively, in proteins.
  • signal transduction for example, extracellular signals are transduced via membrane receptor activation, with amplification and propagation using a complex choreography of cascades of protein phosphorylation, and protein dephosphorylation events to avoid uncontrolled signaling.
  • RTKs Receptor tyrosine kinases
  • Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK kinase pathway Downstream of the several RTKs lie several signaling pathways, among them is the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK kinase pathway. It is currently understood that activation of Ras GTPase proteins in response to growth factors, hormones, cytokines, etc. stimulates phosphorylation and activation of Raf kinases. These kinases then phosphorylate and activate the intracellular protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate and activate other protein kinases, ERK1 and 2. This signaling pathway, also known as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway or cytoplasmic cascade, mediates cellular responses to growth signals.
  • MAPK mitogen-activated protein kinase
  • the ultimate function of this is to link receptor activity at the cell membrane with modification of cytoplasmic or nuclear targets that govern cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Mutations in various Ras GTPases and the B-Raf kinase have been identified that can lead to sustained and constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway, ultimately resulting in increased cell division and survival. As a consequence of this, these mutations have been strongly linked with the establishment, development, and progression of a wide range of human cancers.
  • the biological role of the Raf kinases, and specifically that of B-Raf, in signal transduction is described in Davies, H., et al., Nature (2002) 9:1-6; Garnett, M. J.
  • Raf family kinases By virtue of the role played by the Raf family kinases in these cancers and exploratory studies with a range of preclinical and therapeutic agents, including one selectively targeted to inhibition of B-Raf kinase activity (King A. J., et al., (2006) Cancer Res. 66:11100-11105), it is generally accepted that inhibitors of one or more Raf family kinases will be useful for the treatment of such cancers or other condition associated with Raf kinase.
  • B-Raf has also been implicated in other conditions, including cardio-facio cutaneous syndrome (Rodriguez-Viciana et al Science (2006) 311(5765) 1287-1290) and polycystic kidney disease (Nagao et al Kidney Int . (2003) 63(2) 427-437).

    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to benzene sulfonamide thiazole and oxazole compounds, compositions containing the same, as well as processes for the preparation and methods of using such compounds and compositions.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Both receptor tyrosine kinases and serine/threonine kinases have been implicated in cellular signaling pathways that control cell function, division, growth, differentiation, and death (apoptosis) through reversible phosphorylation of the hydroxyl groups of tyrosine or serine and threonine residues, respectively, in proteins. In signal transduction, for example, extracellular signals are transduced via membrane receptor activation, with amplification and propagation using a complex choreography of cascades of protein phosphorylation, and protein dephosphorylation events to avoid uncontrolled signaling. These signaling pathways are highly regulated, often by complex and intermeshed kinase pathways where each kinase may itself be regulated by one or more other kinases and protein phosphatases. The biological importance of these finely tuned systems is such that a variety of cell proliferative disorders have been linked to defects in one or more of the various cell signaling pathways mediated by tyrosine or serine/threonine kinases.
  • Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) catalyze phosphorylation of certain tyrosyl amino acid residues in various proteins, including themselves, which govern cell growth, proliferation and differentiation.
  • Downstream of the several RTKs lie several signaling pathways, among them is the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK kinase pathway. It is currently understood that activation of Ras GTPase proteins in response to growth factors, hormones, cytokines, etc. stimulates phosphorylation and activation of Raf kinases. These kinases then phosphorylate and activate the intracellular protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2, which in turn phosphorylate and activate other protein kinases, ERK1 and 2. This signaling pathway, also known as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway or cytoplasmic cascade, mediates cellular responses to growth signals. The ultimate function of this is to link receptor activity at the cell membrane with modification of cytoplasmic or nuclear targets that govern cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. Mutations in various Ras GTPases and the B-Raf kinase have been identified that can lead to sustained and constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway, ultimately resulting in increased cell division and survival. As a consequence of this, these mutations have been strongly linked with the establishment, development, and progression of a wide range of human cancers. The biological role of the Raf kinases, and specifically that of B-Raf, in signal transduction is described in Davies, H., et al., Nature (2002) 9:1-6; Garnett, M. J. & Marais, R., Cancer Cell (2004) 6:313-319; Zebisch, A. & Troppmair, J., Cell. Mol. Life Sci. (2006) 63:1314-1330; Midgley, R. S. & Kerr, D. J., Crit. Rev. Onc/Hematol.

  • Naturally occurring mutations of the B-Raf kinase that activate MAPK pathway signaling have been found in a large percentage of human melanomas (Davies (2002) supra) and thyroid cancers (Cohen et al J. Nat. Cancer Inst. (2003) 95(8) 625-627 and Kimura et al Cancer Res. (2003) 63(7) 1454-1457), as well as at lower, but still significant, frequencies in the following:

  • By virtue of the role played by the Raf family kinases in these cancers and exploratory studies with a range of preclinical and therapeutic agents, including one selectively targeted to inhibition of B-Raf kinase activity (King A. J., et al., (2006) Cancer Res. 66:11100-11105), it is generally accepted that inhibitors of one or more Raf family kinases will be useful for the treatment of such cancers or other condition associated with Raf kinase.
  • Mutation of B-Raf has also been implicated in other conditions, including cardio-facio cutaneous syndrome (Rodriguez-Viciana et al Science (2006) 311(5765) 1287-1290) and polycystic kidney disease (Nagao et al Kidney Int. (2003) 63(2) 427-437).

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • As used herein, the term “Raf family kinase” refers to Raf kinases including A-Raf, B-Raf and c-Raf (also known as Raf-1). Unless distinguished herein, the term refers to both wildtype and mutant variations thereof.
  • As used herein, “compound(s) of formula (I)” means any compound having the structural formula (I) as defined by the variable definitions provided, possible solvates, including hydrates thereof, and amorphous and crystal forms, including one or more polymorphic forms and mixtures thereof. In the case of compounds of formula (I) which possess one or more chiral centers, the compounds may be in the form of a racemic mixture, or one or more isomerically enriched or pure stereoisomers, including enantiomers and diastereomers thereof. In such embodiments, “compound(s) of formula (I)” includes the racemic form as well as the enriched or pure enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomerically enriched or pure compounds will be designated using conventional nomenclature, including the designations +, −, R, S, d, I, D and L, according to the predominant isomer present. Where a compound of the invention contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, cis (E) and trans (Z) isomerism may also occur. In such embodiments, “compound(s) of formula (I)” includes the individual stereoisomers of the compound of the invention, which will be indicated using conventional, cis/trans nomenclature. It should also be understood that compounds of formula (I) may exist in tautomeric forms other than that shown in the formula and alternative tautomeric forms are also included within “compound(s) of formula (I).”
  • As used herein, “compound(s) of the invention” means a compound of formula (I) (as defined above) in any version, i.e., as the free base or as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound as any version may be in any form, including amorphous or crystalline forms, specific polymorphic forms, solvates, including hydrates (e.g., mono-, di- and hemi-hydrates), and mixtures of various forms.
  • Intermediates may also be present as salts. Thus, in reference to intermediates, the phrase “compound(s) of formula (number)” means a compound having that structural formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
  • The term “alkyl” as used herein refers to linear or branched hydrocarbon chains having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, unless a different number of atoms is specified. Examples of “alkyl” as used herein include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, n-pentyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, and tert-butyl. The term “alkyl” and variations thereof (i.e., “C1-4alkyl”) is intended to independently describe each member of the genus. Similarly, the term “alkylene” refers to linear or branched divalent hydrocarbon chains containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, unless a different number of atoms is specified.

In an additional aspect, the present invention provides the use of a compound of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a condition mediated by inappropriate activity of one or more Raf family kinases (particularly B-Raf), in a mammal. One example of a condition mediated by inappropriate activity of one or more Raf family kinases includes neoplasms.
  • By “inappropriate activity” is meant Raf family kinase activity that deviates from the expected activity for that kinase or for an upstream activator of that kinase in a particular mammal. The inappropriate activity of a Raf family kinase may arise from one or more of A-Raf, B-Raf or c-Raf or an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase. Inappropriate Raf family kinase activity may take the form of, for instance, an abnormal increase in activity, or an aberration in the timing and/or control of Raf family kinase activity. Such inappropriate activity may result, for example, from overexpression or mutation of the kinase, upstream activator, receptor or ligand leading to inappropriate or uncontrolled activation of the corresponding kinase or receptor. Furthermore, it is also contemplated that unwanted Raf family kinase activity may reside in an abnormal source, such as a neoplasm. Thus, the level of Raf family kinase activity does not need to be abnormal to be considered inappropriate in the case where the activity derives from an abnormal source including, but not limited to, upstream activators (e.g., activated mutant Ras GTPases) or neoplasm. In one example of inappropriate Raf family kinase activity not resulting from mutation or overexpression of a Raf family kinase, inappropriate activity of a Ras GTPase may result from mutation or overexpression of Ras GTPase, for example the G13D mutation in KRas2, and may lead to overactivation of the MAPK pathway mediated by Raf family kinase activity.
  • Thus, in one embodiment, the present invention provides compounds for use in the treatment of a condition which directly or indirectly results from a mutation of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of a Raf family kinase, or a mutation of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase in a mammal in need thereof. The present invention provides methods for the treatment of a condition which directly or indirectly results from mutation of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of a Raf family kinase, or a mutation of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase in a mammal in need thereof, comprising administering to the mammal, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. In an additional aspect, the present invention provides the use of a compound of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a condition which directly or indirectly results from mutation of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of a Raf family kinase, or a mutation of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase in a mammal. Conditions which are mediated by at least one Raf family kinase, and particularly conditions mediated by inappropriate activity of one or more Raf family kinases, including those which directly or indirectly result from mutation of a Raf family kinase, overexpression of a Raf family kinase, or mutation of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase are known in the art and include but are not limited to neoplasms.
  • Compounds of the invention may also be used in the treatment of conditions attenuated by inhibition of a Raf family kinase (particularly B-Raf). Further provided are methods for treating a condition attenuated by inhibition of a Raf family kinase (particularly B-Raf) in a mammal in need thereof, comprising administering to the mammal, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. Also provided is the use of a compound of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a condition attenuated by inhibition of a Raf family kinase (particularly B-Raf) in a mammal. Conditions attenuated by inhibition of a Raf family kinase (including B-Raf) include but are not limited to neoplasms.
  • Accordingly, compounds of the invention may be used in the treatment of a neoplasm, particularly a susceptible neoplasm (a cancer or tumor) in a mammal. The present invention also provides a method for treating a neoplasm, particularly a susceptible neoplasm in a mammal in need thereof, which method comprises administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of the invention. The invention also provides the use of a compound of the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of neoplasm, particularly a susceptible neoplasm, in a mammal.
  • “Susceptible neoplasm” as used herein refers to neoplasms which are susceptible to treatment by a kinase inhibitor and particularly neoplasms that are susceptible to treatment by a Raf inhibitor. Neoplasms which have been associated with inappropriate activity of one or more Raf family kinases and particularly neoplasms which are exhibit mutation of a Raf family kinase, overexpression of a Raf family kinase, or mutation of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase or overexpression of an upstream activator of a Raf family kinase, and are therefore susceptible to treatment with an Raf inhibitor are known in the art, and include both primary and metastatic tumors and cancers.

The compounds of the invention may be useful for restoring effectiveness of certain existing chemotherapies and radiation and or increasing sensitivity to certain existing chemotherapies and/or radiation.
  • In addition to the treatment of susceptible neoplasms, the compounds of the invention may also be used in the treatment of other conditions attenuated by inhibition of a Raf family kinase, such as cardio-facio cutaneous syndrome and polycystic kidney disease.
  • In one aspect, the present invention provides a method for treating a susceptible neoplasm in a mammal in need thereof comprising the steps of:
      • (a) analyzing a sample from said neoplasm to determine whether an activating mutation is present in the coding sequence for B-Raf in cells of said neoplasm;
      • (b) selecting a mammal having a neoplasm with an activating mutation in the coding sequence for B-Raf; and
      • (c) administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention to the mammal selected in step (b).
  • In certain embodiments, the activating mutation present in the coding sequence for BRAF results in a BRAF having an amino acid substitution selected from the group consisting of R462I, I463S, G464V, G464E, G466A, G466E, G466V, G469A, G469E, D594V, F595L, G596R, L597V, L597R, T599I, V600E, V600D, V600K, V600R, T119S, and K601E. See, for example, FIG. 2 of Halilovic and Solvit (2008) Current Opinion in Pharmacology 8:419-26.
  • In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for treating a susceptible neoplasm in a mammal in need thereof comprising the steps of:
      • (a) analyzing a sample from said neoplasm to determine whether a mutation encoding a V600E amino acid substitution is present in the coding sequence for B-Raf in cells of said neoplasm;
      • (b) selecting a mammal having a neoplasm with a mutation encoding the V600E amino acid substitution in B-Raf; and
      • (c) administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention to the mammal selected in step (b).
  • The V600E amino acid substitution in B-Raf is described, for example, in Kumar et al. (2004) J Invest Dermatol. 122(2):342-8. This mutation commonly results from a T1799A mutation in the coding sequence for human B-Raf. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, the step of analyzing a sample from said neoplasm to determine whether a mutation encoding a V600E amino acid substitution is present in the coding sequence for B-Raf is performed by determining whether the coding sequence for B-Raf in cells of the neoplasm contains the T1799A mutation.
  • The neoplasm may be selected from Barret's adenocarcinoma; billiary tract carcinomas; breast cancer; cervical cancer; cholangiocarcinoma; central nervous system tumors including primary CNS tumors such as glioblastomas, astrocytomas (e.g., glioblastoma multiforme) and ependymomas, and secondary CNS tumors (i.e., metastases to the central nervous system of tumors originating outside of the central nervous system); colorectal cancer including large intestinal colon carcinoma; gastric cancer; carcinoma of the head and neck including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; hematologic cancers including leukemias and lymphomas such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelogenous leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, megakaryoblastic leukemia, multiple myeloma and erythroleukemia; hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer including small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer; ovarian cancer; endometrial cancer; pancreatic cancer; pituitary adenoma; prostate cancer; renal cancer; sarcoma; skin cancers including melanomas; and thyroid cancers.
  • In particular embodiments, the neoplasm is selected from breast cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal cancer, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and thyroid cancer. In one preferred embodiment, the neoplasm is melanoma.
  • In one embodiment, the mammal is a human.
  • In one embodiment, the compound of the invention is, N-{3-[5-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a particular embodiment, the compound of the invention is N-{3-[5-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide mesylate. In an alternate embodiment, the compound of the invention is N-{3-[5-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide
  • The sample of the neoplasm to be analyzed for the presence of B-raf activating mutations can be derived from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, single cells, a collection of cells, tissue, cell culture, bone marrow, blood, or other bodily fluids. The tissue or cell source may include a tissue biopsy sample, a cell sorted population, cell culture, or a single cell. In selecting a sample, the percentage of the sample that constitutes neoplastic cells should be considered. In some embodiments, the sample from the neoplasm is fixed using a preservative prior to analyzing for the presence of an activating mutation.
  • The step of analyzing a sample from the neoplasm to determine whether an activating mutation is present in the coding sequence for B-Raf in cells of said neoplasm may be performed using any method known in the art. For example, the coding sequence for B-raf in cells of the sample may be analyzed to determine if it contains a mutation which results in the expression of activated B-Raf. Methods for detecting such mutations are well known in the art. See, for example, Whitcombe et al. (1999) Nature Biotechnology 17:804-7, Gibson (2006) Clinica Chimica Acta 363: 32-47, Kim and Misra (2007) Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering 9:289-320, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,326,145 and 6,270,967). Alternatively, activating mutations in B-Raf may be identified by directly detecting the activated B-raf protein using an agent (e.g. an antibody) that selectively binds activated B-raf.
  • As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a compound of the invention which is sufficient, in the subject to which it is administered, to elicit a biological or medical response of a cell culture, tissue, system, mammal (including human) that is being sought, for instance, by a researcher or clinician. The term also includes within its scope amounts effective to enhance normal physiological function. For example, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention for the treatment of a condition mediated by at least one Raf family kinase is an amount sufficient to treat the condition in the particular subject. Similarly, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention for the treatment of a susceptible neoplasm is an amount sufficient to treat the particular susceptible neoplasm in the subject. In one embodiment of the present invention, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention is an amount sufficient to regulate, modulate, bind or inhibit at least one Raf family kinase. More particularly, in such embodiment, the therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention is an amount sufficient to regulate, modulate, bind or inhibit B-Raf.
  • The precise therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the invention will depend on a number of factors. There are variables inherent to the compounds including, but not limited to, the following: molecular weight, inhibitory activity at the target kinase, absorption, bioavailability, distribution in the body, tissue penetration, half-life, metabolism, protein binding, and excretion. These variables determine what dose of compound needs to be administered in order to inhibit the target kinase by a sufficient percentage and for a sufficient amount of time to have the desired effect on the condition being treated (e.g., neoplasm). In general, the goal will be to inhibit the target kinase by 50% or more for as long as possible. The duration of drug exposure will be limited only by the compound half-life, and side effects from treatment requiring cessation of dosing. The amount of compound administered will also depend on factors related to patients and disease including, but not limited to, the following: the age, weight, concomitant medications and medical condition of the subject being treated, the precise condition requiring treatment and its severity, the nature of the formulation, and the route of administration. Ultimately the dose will be at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. Typically, the compound of the invention will be given for treatment in the range of 0.01 to 30 mg/kg body weight of recipient (mammal) per day or per dose or per cycle of treatment and more usually in the range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day or per dose or per cycle of treatment. Thus, for a 70 kg adult human being treated for a condition mediated by or correlated to at least one Raf family kinase, the actual amount per day or per dose or per cycle of treatment would usually be from 1 to 2000 mg and this amount may be given in a single or multiple doses per day or per dose or per cycle of treatment. Dosing regimens may vary significantly and will be determined and altered based on clinical experience with the compound. The full spectrum of dosing regimens may be employed ranging from continuous dosing (with daily doses) to intermittent dosing. A therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I) may be determined as a proportion of the therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I) as the free base. It is envisaged that similar dosages would be appropriate for treatment of the susceptible neoplasms described above.
  • While it is possible that, for use in therapy, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention may be administered as the raw chemical, it is typically presented as the active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition or formulation. Accordingly, the invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention. The pharmaceutical composition may further comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, and/or excipients. The carrier(s), diluent(s) and/or excipient(s) must be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. In accordance with another aspect of the invention there is also provided a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation including admixing a compound of the invention with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents and/or excipients.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations may be presented in unit dose forms containing a predetermined amount of active ingredient per unit dose. Such a unit may contain, for example, 0.5 mg to 1 g, preferably 1 mg to 700 mg, more preferably 5 mg to 100 mg of a compound of the invention (as a free-base, solvate (including hydrate) or salt, in any form), depending on the condition being treated, the route of administration, and the age, weight and condition of the patient. Preferred unit dosage formulations are those containing a daily dose, weekly dose, monthly dose, a sub-dose or an appropriate fraction thereof, of an active ingredient. Furthermore, such pharmaceutical formulations may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the pharmacy art.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations may be adapted for administration by any appropriate route, for example by the oral (including capsules, tablets, liquid-filled capsules, disintegrating tablets, immediate, delayed and controlled release tablets, oral strips, solutions, syrups, buccal and sublingual), rectal, nasal, inhalation, topical (including transdermal), vaginal or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intradermal) route. Such formulations may be prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy, for example by bringing into association the active ingredient with the carrier(s), excipient(s) or diluent. Generally, the carrier, excipient or diluent employed in the pharmaceutical formulation is “non-toxic,” meaning that it/they is/are deemed safe for consumption in the amount delivered in the pharmaceutical composition, and “inert” meaning that it/they does/do not appreciably react with or result in an undesired effect on the therapeutic activity of the active ingredient.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as liquid-filled or solid capsules; immediate, delayed or controlled release tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or whips; oil-in-water liquid emulsions, water-in-oil liquid emulsions or oral strips, such as impregnated gel strips.
  • For instance, for oral administration in the form of a tablet or capsule, the active drug component can be combined with an oral pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water and the like. Powders are prepared by comminuting the compound to a suitable fine size and mixing with a similarly comminuted pharmaceutical carrier such as an edible carbohydrate, as, for example, starch or mannitol. Flavoring, preservative, dispersing and coloring agent can also be present.
  • Solid capsules are made by preparing a powder mixture, as described above, and filling formed gelatin sheaths. Glidants and lubricants such as colloidal silica, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or solid polyethylene glycol can be added to the powder mixture before the filling operation. A disintegrating or solubilizing agent such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate or sodium carbonate can also be added to improve the availability of the medicament when the capsule is ingested.
  • Moreover, when desired or necessary, suitable binders, lubricants, disintegrating agents and coloring agents can also be incorporated into the mixture. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methyl cellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like. Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, an alginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting with a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compounds of the present invention can also be combined with a free flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear or opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar or polymeric material and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different unit dosages.
  • Oral fluids such as solutions, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of the compound. Solutions and syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a pharmaceutically acceptable alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. Solubilizers and emulsifiers such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols and polyoxy ethylene sorbitol ethers, preservatives, flavor additive such as peppermint oil or natural sweeteners or saccharin or other artificial sweeteners, and the like can also be added.
  • Where appropriate, unit dosage formulations for oral administration can be microencapsulated. The formulation can also be prepared to prolong or sustain the release as for example by coating or embedding particulate material in polymers, wax or the like.
  • The compounds of the invention can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.
  • The compounds of the invention may also be delivered by the use of monoclonal antibodies as individual carriers to which the compound molecules are coupled. The compounds may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropyl-methacrylamidephenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polycentric acid, polepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches intended to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. For example, the active ingredient may be delivered from the patch by iontophoresis as generally described in Pharmaceutical Research (1986) 3(6):318.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration may be formulated as ointments, creams, suspensions, lotions, powders, solutions, pastes, gels, sprays, aerosols or oils. For treatments of external tissues, such as skin, the formulations may be applied as a topical ointment or cream. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredient may be employed with either a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base or a water-in-oil base. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administrations to the eye include eye drops wherein the active ingredient is dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges, pastilles and mouth washes.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for rectal administration may be presented as suppositories or as enemas.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for nasal administration wherein the carrier is a solid include a coarse powder having a particle size for example in the range 20 to 500 microns which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e. by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose. Suitable formulations wherein the carrier is a liquid, for administration as a nasal spray or as nasal drops, include aqueous or oil solutions of the active ingredient.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for administration by inhalation include fine particle dusts or mists, which may be generated by means of various types of metered dose pressurized aerosols, metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, nebulizers or insufflators.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations.
  • Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous sterile injection solutions which may contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and solutes which render the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable tonicity with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets.
  • It should be understood that in addition to the ingredients particularly mentioned above, the formulations may include other agents conventional in the art having regard to the type of formulation in question, for example those suitable for oral administration may include flavoring agents.
  • In the above-described methods of treatment and uses, a compound of the invention may be employed alone, in combination with one or more other compounds of the invention or in combination with other therapeutic methods or agents. In particular, in methods of treating a condition attenuated by inhibition of at least one Raf family kinase and in methods of treating susceptible neoplasms, combination with other chemotherapeutic, biologic, hormonal, antibody and supportive care agents is envisaged as well as combination with surgical therapy and radiotherapy. Supportive care agents include analgesics, anti-emetics and agents used to treat heamatologic side effects such as neutropenia. Analgesics are well known in the art. Anti-emetics include but are not limited to 5HT3 antagonists such as ondansetron, granisetron, dolasetron, palonosetron and the like; prochlorperazine; metaclopromide; diphenhydramine; promethazine; dexamethasone; lorazepam; haloperidol; dronabinol; olanzapine; and neurokinin-1 antagonists such as aprepitant, fosaprepitant and casopitant administered alone or in various combinations.
  • The term “chemotherapeutic” as used herein refers to any chemical agent having a therapeutic effect on the subject to which it is administered. “Chemotherapeutic” agents include but are not limited to anti-neoplastic agents. As used herein, “anti-neoplastic agents” include both cytotoxic and cytostatic agents including biological, immunological and vaccine therapies. Combination therapies according to the invention thus comprise the administration of at least one compound of the invention and the use of at least one other treatment method. In one embodiment, combination therapies according to the invention comprise the administration of at least one compound of the invention and surgical therapy. In one embodiment, combination therapies according to the invention comprise the administration of at least one compound of the invention and radiotherapy.

  • The compounds of the invention and at least one additional anti-neoplastic or supportive care therapy may be employed in combination concomitantly or sequentially in any therapeutically appropriate combination. The administration of a compound of the invention with one or more other anti-neoplastic agents may be in combination in accordance with the invention by administration concomitantly in one unitary pharmaceutical composition including both or all compounds or two or more separate pharmaceutical compositions each including one or more of the compounds. The components of the combination may be administered separately in a sequential manner wherein one active ingredient is administered first and the other(s) second or vice versa. Such sequential administration may be close in time or remote in time.
  • When a compound of the invention is used in combination with an anti-neoplastic and/or supportive care agent, the dose of each compound may differ from that when the compound is used alone. Appropriate doses will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art. The appropriate dose of the compound(s) of the invention and the other therapeutically active agent(s) and the relative timings of administration will be selected in order to achieve the desired combined therapeutic effect, and are within the expertise and discretion of the attendant clinician.
  • Typically, any chemotherapeutic agent that has activity against a susceptible neoplasm being treated may be utilized in combination with the compounds of the invention, provided that the particular agent is clinically compatible with therapy employing a compound of the invention. Typical anti-neoplastic agents useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to: alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, antitumor antibiotics, antimitotic agents, topoisomerase I and II inhibitors, hormones and hormonal analogues; retinoids, signal transduction pathway inhibitors including inhibitors of cell growth or growth factor function, angiogenesis inhibitors, and serine/threonine or other kinase inhibitors; cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors; antisense therapies and immunotherapeutic agents, including monoclonals, vaccines or other biological agents.
  • Alkylating agents are non-phase specific anti-neoplastic agents and strong electrophiles. Typically, alkylating agents form covalent linkages, by alkylation, to DNA through nucleophilic moieties of the DNA molecule such as phosphate, amino, and hydroxyl groups. Such alkylation disrupts nucleic acid function leading to cell death. Alkylating agents may be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention in the compositions and methods described above. Examples of alkylating agents include but are not limited to nitrogen mustards such as cyclophosphamides, temozolamide, melphalan, and chlorambucil; oxazaphosphor-ines; alkyl sulfonates such as busulfan; nitrosoureas such as carmustine; triazenes such as dacarbazine; and platinum coordination complexes such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin.
  • Antimetabolite neoplastic agents are phase specific anti-neoplastic agents that act at S phase (DNA synthesis) of the cell cycle by inhibiting DNA synthesis or by inhibiting purine or pyrimidine base synthesis and thereby limiting DNA synthesis. The end result of discontinuing S phase is cell death. Antimetabolite neoplastic agents may be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention in the compositions and methods described above. Examples of antimetabolite anti-neoplastic agents include but are not limited to purine and pyrimidine analogues and anti-folate compounds, and more specifically, hydroxyurea, cytosine, arabinoside, ralitrexed, tegafur, fluorouracil (e.g., 5FU), methotrexate, cytarabine, mecaptopurine and thioguanine.
  • Antitumor antibiotic agents are non-phase specific agents, which bind to or intercalate with DNA. Typically, such action disrupts ordinary function of the nucleic acids, leading to cell death. Antitumor antibiotics may be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention in the compositions and methods described above.

Examples of vinca alkaloids include, but are not limited to, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine and vinorelbine. Plk inhibitors are discussed further below.
  • Topoisomerase inhibitors include inhibitors of Topoisomerase II and inhibitors of Topoisomerase I. Topoisomerase II inhibitors, such as epipodophyllotoxins, are anti-neoplastic agents derived from the mandrake plant, that typically affect cells in the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle by forming a ternary complex with topoisomerase II and DNA, causing DNA strand breaks. The strand breaks accumulate and cell death follows. Examples of epipodophyllotoxins include, but are not limited to, etoposide and teniposide. Camptothecins, including camptothecin and camptothecin derivatives, are available or under development as Topoisomerase I inhibitors. Examples of camptothecins include, but are not limited to amsacrine, irinotecan, topotecan, and the various optical forms of 7-(4-methylpiperazino-methylene)-10,11-ethylenedioxy-20-camptothecin. Topoisomerase inhibitors may be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention in the compositions and methods described above.
  • Hormones and hormonal analogues are useful compounds for treating cancers in which there is a relationship between the hormone(s) and growth and/or lack of growth of the cancer. Antitumor hormones and hormonal analogues may be employed in combination with the compounds of the invention in the compositions and methods described above. Examples of hormones and hormonal analogues believed to be useful in the treatment of neoplasms include, but are not limited to antiestrogens, such as tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene, fulvestrant, iodoxyfene and droloxifene; anti-androgens; such as flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamide and cyproterone acetate; adrenocorticosteroids such as prednisone and prednisolone; aminoglutethimide and other aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole, letrazole, vorazole, and exemestane; progestrins such as megestrol acetate; 5α-reductase inhibitors such as finasteride and dutasteride; and gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRH) and analogues thereof, such as Leutinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonists and antagonists such as goserelin luprolide, leuprorelin and buserelin.

Studies have shown that the epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family (i.e., mcl-1). Therefore, strategies designed to downregulate the expression of Bcl-2 in tumors have demonstrated clinical benefit and are now in Phase II/III trials, namely Genta's G3139 bcl-2 antisense oligonucleotide. Such proapoptotic strategies using the antisense oligonucleotide strategy for Bcl-2 are discussed in Water, J. S., et al., J. Clin. Oncol. (2000) 18:1812-1823; and Kitada, S., et al., Antisense Res. Dev. (1994) 4:71-79.

For example, the thiazole may be prepared by reacting the aminothiazole with an appropriate reagent, for example t-butyl nitrite, in an appropriate solvent, for example tetrahydrofuran, and at a temperature of 35-75° C., particularly 40-60° C.
  • When a substituted thiazole is desired, an aminothiazole of formula (VIII) may be modified according to methods that will be familiar to those skilled in the art. For example, the aminothiazole compound of formula (VIII-A) may be converted to a compound of formula (VIII-B) by reaction with reagents capable of replacing the amino group with a halide, preferably a bromide.

The solution was stirred at rt overnight. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated by about half, and 200 mL of water was added. A red oil precipitated from the mixture. The oil was separated, and crystallized upon standing. The crystals were collected by vacuum filtration, washed with ether, and dried in vacuo to generate 16.8 g (46.4 mmol, 52.8% yield) as a white powder. LC/MS indicates that the product is a 2:1 mixture of the desired product and the bis-sulfonamide. The white powder was dissolved in THF (100 mL), and a 1 M solution of LiHMDS in THF (100 mL, 100 mmol) was added. A solution of 2-chloro-4-methylpyrimidine (8.0 g, 62.2 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added dropwise over 15 minutes. The solution was stirred at 20° C. for an additional 20 minutes, and then the reaction was quenched with MeOH (5 mL). The solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator, and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH<9 with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous NaSO4, filtered, and concentrated to 50 mL. The brown solution was passed through a pad of silica gel (eluting with EtOAc) and concentrated to generate the title compound (6.78 g, 14.8 mmol, 16.8% yield) as a yellow powder. MS (ESI): 458.0 [M+H]+.

    • Biological Examples
  • Compounds of the present invention were tested for B-Raf protein kinase inhibitory activity in substrate phosphorylation assays and cell proliferation assays.
    • A. B-Raf Enzyme Assay:
  • Compounds of the present invention were tested for B-Raf protein serine kinase inhibitory activity in a B-Raf Accelerated MEK ATPase assay (BRAMA). Baculovirus-expressed His6-tagged BRAFV600E full-length (amino acids 2-766) was used in the BRAMA assay. The BRAMA assay is a high sensitivity assay which measures an intrinsic MEK-mediated ATP hydrolysis uncoupled from downstream ERK phosphorylation by coupling the formation of ADP to NADH oxidation through the enzymes pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. When ADP production is initiated by addition of catalytic amounts of an activated Raf enzyme and non-phosphorylated MEK, one observes robust ADP production concomitant with Raf-mediated phosphorylation of MEK. The method is disclosed in: C. Rominger, M. Schaber, E. May. Assay for B-Raf Activity Based on Intrinsic MEK ATPase Activity. Statutory Invention Registration 11/084,993 (March, 2005) but includes the following changes: 1) the assay was performed with a final MEK concentration of 150 nM and 2) the assay was read as single end point instead of a kinetic read.
  • Acceleration of MEK ATPase activity was determined from the data and plotted as a function of inhibitor concentration to give concentration response curves, from which the pIC50 values were generated following standard pIC50 fitting protocol.
  • Many of the exemplified compounds Examples 1-217 were run in the recited assay (A). The results are reported in the following Table 1a in which the highest pIC50 for the one or more runs of each assayed compound is categorized as indicated. In the following table:
    • “+” indicates no pIC50 measurement greater than 6 against B-Raf
    • “++” indicates at least one pIC50 measurement greater than 6 against B-Raf but no measurement greater than pIC50 of 7; and
    • “+++” indicates at least one pIC50 measurement of greater than 7 against B-Raf.

    • B. Cellular Assays—Cell Growth Inhibition Assay
  • Human colon tumor cells (Colo205) were cultured in RPMI (Mediatech 50-020-PB) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Human melanoma cancer cells (SK-MEL-28) were cultured in EMEM with nonessential amino acids (Mediatech 50-011-PB) containing 10% FBS, 1% sodium pyruvate (JT Baker 3354-04), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. All cell lines were maintained at 37° C. in a humidified 5% CO2, 95% air incubator. Cells were harvested using trypsin/EDTA (Invitrogen 25200), counted using a haemocytometer, and plated. For 96-well assays (using white full-area NUNC plates cat. #136102), cells were plated in 105 μL at the following densities (cells/well): Colo205, 500; SK-MEL-28, 500. For 384-well assays (white full-area NUNC plates, cat. #781080), cells were plated in 48 μL at the following densities (cells/well): Colo205, 500; SK-MEL-28, 500.
  • The next day, compounds were diluted as follow: For 96-well assays, 13.5 μL of compound in DMSO were diluted using nine (9) serial 1:3 dilutions of 4.5 μL in 9 μL of DMSO. Medium (270 μL/well of RPMI with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin) was added to the plates. Aliquots (7 μL) were added to cells in the final assay giving a final DMSO concentration of 0.2%. For 384-well assays, 15 μL of compound in DMSO were diluted using nine (9) serial 1:3 dilutions of 5 μL in 10 μL of DMSO, followed by a further dilution of 5 μL of compound with 95 μL of medium, of which 2 μL were added to cells in the final assay giving a final DMSO concentration of 0.2%. Cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 3 days.
  • Total ATP was measured (as a surrogate estimate of cell number) using CellTiter-Glo® reagent (Promega G7571). Briefly, plates were removed from the incubator and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature for 30 minutes. CellTiter-Glo® (25 μL or 55 μL for 384-well or 96-well assays, respectively) reagent was added to each well and plates were shaken on an orbital plate shaker for 2 minutes. Plates were incubated without shaking for a further 30 minutes and read on an LJL Analyst GT reader in luminometer mode with an integration time of 0.5 seconds per well. Percent inhibition of cell growth was calculated relative to DMSO vehicle-treated control wells. Concentration of compound required to give 50% inhibition of vehicle-treated control cell growth (IC50) was interpolated using a 4-parameter fit for determining IC50 using the following equation: Y=A+((B−A)/(1+((C/X)̂D))) where X=IC50.
  • Many of the compounds of Examples 1-217 were run in the recited assay and the results are reported in the following Table 2a. In the following table:
    • “+” indicates that the compound showed activity of >1 μM in Colo205 tumor cells;
    • “++” indicates that the compound showed activity of between 100 nM and 1 μM in Colo205 tumor cells; and
    • “+++” indicates that the compound showed activity of less than 100 nM in Colo205 tumor cells.

    • D. In Vivo Experiments
  • 1. Dose Dependent Tumor Inhibition Using Compound of Example 58a
  • A375P F11s were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% Penicillin-streptomycin and 1% sodium pyruvate. Tumor cells (2×106 A375P F11s) were implanted subcutaneously into the right flank of athymic mice on Day 1. To facilitate their growth, A375P F11s cells were suspended in Matrigel diluted 1:1 in phosphate-buffered saline before implantation. When tumors had reached approximately 200 mm3 in volume (Day 19-22), tumor-bearing mice were randomized into study groups (n=7 or 8). Animals were dosed orally once or twice daily for a 14-day period. The compound of Example 58a was dosed in a 0.5% HPMC/0.2% Tween 80 pH 7-8 vehicle. Tumor growth was measured twice a week using calipers for the duration of the study. Tumor volumes were calculated as a product of (length×width×width)/2 and median values were used to compare groups. Complete regressions (CR) were defined as three consecutive tumor measurements of ≦13.5 mm3. Partial regressions were defined as three consecutive measurements of ≦50% of starting tumor volume. Tumor growth delay was defined as the difference in time taken for treated and control groups to reach 1000 mm3 (T-C1000).
  • In the following table:
      • “−” indicates no response
      • “+” indicates growth delay (1-2× doubling)

  • 2. Pharmacodynamic Effect of Various Compounds
  • Activity of select exemplified compounds was tested in vivo against A375PF11s (melanoma cell line encoding a B-Raf V600E mutation) xenograft mouse model. The A375P F11s cell line, encoding a mutation for BRAFV600E, was subcloned from the A375P human melanoma cell line (obtained from ATCC, Cat #CRL-1619) by limiting dilution and selected based on high (90%) sensitivity to the BRAF inhibitor, SB-590885 (commercially available), in 3-day proliferation assays. The selected clone (A375P F11s) was isolated and mutation in B-Raf (T1799A) encoding the V600E amino acid change was reconfirmed.
  • Female CD-1 nu/nu mice of 8-10 weeks in age were used in these studies; all mice were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, Del.). Animals were housed in pathogen free conditions and handled with aseptic technique. A375P F11s were harvested from culture flasks by exposure to 0.25% trypsin/EDTA for 5 min at 37° C. Detached cells were collected, centrifuged (1500 rpm, 5 min, 4° C.) and rinsed to remove the trypsin solution. Cells were resuspended in PBS without magnesium or calcium and counted. Cells were spun as previously to remove PBS and a single cell suspension was created either in 50% Matrigel: 50% PBS (v:v) or 100% PBS so that a 100 μL subcutaneous injection would deliver the required number of cells per mouse. The A375P F11s melanoma line was injected with Matrigel at 4 million cells per mouse. Tumors were established (˜150-300 mm3) for all cell lines within 2-4 weeks post-injection.
  • Compounds of examples 24, 25, 26, 57, 58, 59, 64, 65, 66, and 156 were prepared in formulations of either 0.5% HPMC/0.2% TWEEN 80 ph 7-8 or 20% encapsin/1% DMSO. The preparations were administered orally to the mice as a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg.
  • At 2 h following oral administration of compound mice were euthanized using carbon dioxide. Tumors were carefully excised, homogenized using Medimachine (BD Bioscience) with 1 ml of lysis buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 2 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 2 mM EGTA (pH 8.0), 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM Na—B—PO4, 2 mM NaVO4, 4 mM Na-Pyr-PO4, 2× phosphatase inhibitor cocktail. Crude homogenate was transferred to a 12 ml polypropylene tube containing 1.5 ml of lysis buffer and kept on ice. Following homogenization of all samples, 1 ml of homogenate was transferred to an eppendorf tube and centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 15 min at 4° C. Five hundred microliter of clarified lysate was transferred to a new tube, flash frozen and processed for quantitation of pERK and tERK using western blot or Elisa (MSD) assays. Before the ratio of pERK/tERK was determined and to ensure linear range, a BSA standard curve was made by performing serial ⅓-fold dilution to reach concentrations of 20, 13.3, 8.9, 5.9, 3.9, 2.6, 1.7, 1.2, 0.8, 0.5, 0 μg/μl. BioRad dye was added to BSA dilutions and diluted test lysates. Samples were incubated at room temperature for 15 min and read on the SpectraMax plate reader at 595 nM. Comparison to the standard curve provides a relative measurement of protein concentration. For determination of pERK/tERK ratio by western blot analysis 50 μg microgram of tumor lysates were electrophoresed on Invitrogen 4-12% bis-Tris HCl SDS-PAGE. The gels were transferred onto nitro-cellulose membranes using the iBlot transfer apparatus, which were then blocked and incubated with different primary antibodies overnight at 4° C. Western blots dually probed against pERK and tERK were scanned using LI-COR Odyssey® reader. A ratio of the immunofluorescent density obtained for pERK/tERK is calculated and expressed as a ratio (in percentage) to control untreated samples. For determination of pERK/tERK ratio by ELISA, MesoScale Discovery (MSD) (cat#K15107) plate were used according to manufacturer's instructions. In brief, MSD plates were block with 150 μl/well of blocking buffer for 1 hr before being washed 4 times with 200 μl of washing buffer. Thirty microliter (30 μl) of serially diluted samples was added to wells and plates were incubated overnight at 4° C. under slow agitation (˜500 rpm). Plates were washed 4 times in 200 μl 1×Tris wash buffer and 25 μl detection antibody solution was added to all wells and incubated at room temperature for 1 hr (˜500 rpm). Plates were washed 4 times in 200 μl wash buffer and 150 μl of read buffer was added to all wells. Plates were read on MSD.SI6000. In this assay vehicle and compound treated samples were tested at 4 different dilutions to allow linear range coverage of the assay. From pERK and tERK signal, background (BSA signal) was subtracted and ratio of pERK/tERK determined and normalized to untreated vehicle samples, arbitrarily set at 100%.
  • Inhibition of pERK by B-Raf inhibitors is a good pharmacodynamic marker (PD marker) for BRAF inhibition. The compounds of examples 24, 25, 26, 57, 58, 59, 64, 65, 66, and 156 exhibited inhibition of pERK (pERK/tERK) of equal to or greater than 30%.
  • 3. Efficacy In Vivo Study in Mouse.
  • Of the 10 compounds tested for inhibition of pERK, in C.2 above, eight of the compounds (compounds described in example numbers 24, 26, 58, 59, 64, 65, 66, and 156) were tested in an efficacy study similar to study D.1 above. The results demonstrate that six of the eight tested compounds caused tumor regression (mean tumor volume smaller after 14 day treatment than initial tumor volume) or stable disease (mean tumor volume similar after 14 day treatment to initial mean tumor volume) compared to vehicle treated animals.

    • X-Ray Crystallography of Example Nos. 58, 64 and 65:
  • The X-ray powder diffraction pattern of Form 1 of Example Nos. 58, 64 and 65 can be determined using conventional techniques and equipment known to those skilled in the art of analytical chemistry and physical characterization. The diffraction patterns of FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 were obtained with a PANalytical diffractometer system utilizing copper K X-radiation and equipped with automated divergent slits, nickel filter, and a real time multiple strip detector. The powder sample used to generate the X-ray powder diffraction data was mounted on a silicon zero background plate. In FIGS. 1, 3 and 5, 2 theta angles in degrees (x-axis) is plotted against peak intensity (y-axis). The XRD pattern for each form of Example No. 58, 64 and 65 is unique to the particular form; exhibiting a unique set of diffraction peaks which can be expressed in 2 theta angles ( ) d-spacings (Å) and/or relative peak intensities.
  • Since some margin of error is possible in the assignment of 2 theta angles and d-spacings, the preferred method of comparing XRD patterns in order to identify a particular form of a sample is to overlay the XRD pattern of the unknown sample over the XRD pattern of a known form. For example, one skilled in the art can overlay an XRD pattern of an unknown sample of Example No. 58, obtained using the methods described herein, over FIG. 1 and, using expertise and knowledge in the art, readily determine whether the XRD pattern of the unknown sample is substantially the same as the XRD pattern of Form 1 of Example No. 58. If the XRD pattern is substantially the same as FIG. 1, the previously unknown form can be readily and accurately identified as Form 1 of Example No. 58. The same method may be used to compare a sample of an unknown form of Example Nos. 64 and 65 with FIGS. 3 and 5.
  • Although 2 theta angles or d-spacings are the primary method of identifying a particular crystalline form, it may be desirable to also compare relative peak intensities. As noted above, relative peak intensities may vary depending upon the specific diffractometer employed and the analyst's sample preparation technique. The peak intensities are reported as intensities relative to the peak intensity of the strongest peak. The intensity units on the XRD are counts/sec. The absolute counts=counts/time×count time=counts/sec×10 sec.
    • Differential Scanning Calorimetry of Form 1 of Example Nos. 58, 64 and 65.
  • Differential scanning calorimetry was carried out on TA Instruments DSC Q100 DSC system. Heating rate of 10° C. per minute. Sample size 0.4-1.5 mg. The thermograms are provided at FIGS. 2, 4, and 6, respectively.
  • As an additional aspects, the present invention provides a particular solid state form, identified as “Form 1” of N-{3-[5-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide; a particular solid state form identified as “Form 1” of N-{3-[5-(2-amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide; and a particular solid state form identified as “Form 1” of N-{3-[2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-(2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]-2-fluorophenyl}-2,5-difluorobenzenesulfonamide.
