Abstract

1-Heterocycle substituted diarylamines, methods of making and using them, and compositions containing them.

Description

This invention relates to diaryl amines such as 1-heterocycle substituted diarylamines.
BACKGROUND
MEK enzymes are dual specificity kinases involved in, for example, immunomodulation, inflammation, and proliferative diseases such as cancer and restenosis.
Proliferative diseases are caused by a defect in the intracellular signaling system, or the signal transduction mechanism of certain proteins. Defects include a change either in the intrinsic activity or in the cellular concentration of one or more signaling proteins in the signaling cascade . The cell may produce a growth factor that binds to its own receptors, resulting in an autocrine loop, which continually stimulates proliferation. Mutations or overexpression of intracellular signaling proteins can lead to spurious mitogenic signals within the cell.
Some of the most common mutations occur in genes encoding the protein known as Ras, a G-protein that is activated when bound to GTP, and inactivated when bound to GDP. The above-mentioned growth factor receptors, and many other mitogenic receptors, when activated, lead to Ras being converted from the GDP-bound state to the GTP-bound state. This signal is an absolute prerequisite for proliferation in most cell types. Defects in this signaling system, especially in the deactivation of the Ras-GTP complex, are common in cancers, and lead to the signaling cascade below Ras being chronically activated.
Activated Ras leads in turn to the activation of a cascade of serine/threonine kinases. One of the groups of kinases known to require an active Ras-GTP for its own activation is the Raf family. These in turn activate MEK (e.g., MEK1 and MEKZ) which then activates MAP kinase, ERK (ERK~ and ERK2). Activation of MAP kinase by mitogens appears to be essential for proliferation; constitutive activation of this kinase is sufficient to induce cellular transformation. Blockade of downstream Ras signaling, for example by use of a dominant negative Raf-1 protein, can completely inhibit mitogenesis, whether induced from cell surface receptors or from oncogenic Ras mutants. Although Ras is not itself a protein kinase, it participates in the activation of Raf and other kinases, most likely through a phosphorylation mechanism. Once activated, Raf and other kinases phosphorylate MEK on two closely adjacent serine residues, S21 s and S222 in the case of MEK-1, which are the prerequisite for activation of MEK as a kinase. MEK in turn phosphorylates MAP kinase on both a tyrosine, Y185, and a threonine residue, T1$3, separated by a single amino acid. This double phosphorylation activates MAP kinase at least 100-fold. Activated MAP
kinase can then catalyze the ohosphorylation of a large number of proteins, including several transcription factors and other kinases. Many of these MAP
kinase phosphorylations are mitogenically activating for the target protein, such as a kinase, a transcription factor, or another cellular protein. In addition to Raf-1 and MEKK, other kinases activate MEK, and MEK itself appears to be a signal integrating kinase. Current understanding is that MEK is highly specific for the phosphorylation of MAP kinase. In fact, no substrate for MEK other than the MAP kinase , ERK, has been demonstrated to date and MEK does not phosphorylate peptides based on the MAP kinase phosphoryiation sequence, or even phosphorylate denatured MAP kinase. MEK also appears to associate strongly with MAP kinase prior to phosphorylating it, suggesting that phosphorylation of MAP kinase by MEK may require a prior strong interaction between the two proteins. Both this requirement and the unusual specificity of MEK are suggestive that it may have enough difference in its mechanism of action to other protein kinases that selective inhibitors of MEK, possibly operating through allosteric mechanisms rather than through the usual blockade of the ATP
binding site, may be found.

Examples include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, 2,3-dimethylpropyl, hexyl, 2,3-dimethylhexyl, 1,1-dimethylpentyl, heptyl, and octyl. Cycloaikyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl.
Alkyl groups can be substituted with 1, 2, 3 or more substituents which are independently selected from halo (fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo), hydroxy, amino, alkoxy, alkylamino, dialkylamino, cycloalkyl, aryl, aryloxy, arylalkyloxy, heterocyclic radical, and (heterocyclic radical)oxy. Specific examples include fluoromethyl, hy~droxyethyl, 2,3-dihydroxyethyl, (2- or 3-furanyl)methyl, cyclopropylmethyl, benzyloxyethyl, (3-pyridinyl)methyl, (2- or 3-furanyl)methyl, (2-thienyl)ethyl, hydroxypropy!, aminocyciohexyl, 2-dimethylaminobutyl, methoxymethyl, N-pyridinylethyl, diethylaminoethyl, and cyclobutylmethyl.

E. EXAMPLES

~Chloro-2-(4 4-Dimethyl-4 5-dihydro oxazol 2 yl) ahenyll l4 iodo 2 methyl phenyl)-amore (18) (Scheme 2, R~=CI, R2=R3=H, R4=CH3) a). A mixture of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid 16 (14.8 g, 0.0793 mole) and SOC12 (28.31 g, 14.97 ml, 0.1584 mole) was refluxed for 2 hours and excess SOC12 removed leaving a white residue. The solid was dissolved in CH2C12 and added to a solution of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (13.98 g, 14.97 ml, 0.1584 mole) in CH2C12 cooled with ice-bath. The ice-bath was removed, and after stirring at room temperature for 3 hours a white solid precipitated. The precipitate was separated by filtration and discarded. The filtrate was concentrated leaving a thick colorless oil. SOC12 1;17.4 ml} was added to the oil dropwise. An exothermic reaction took place resulting in to a freely flowing solution. After stirring for 30 minutes, the reaction mixture was poured in to Et20 (200 ml). An oil separated out. The Et20 layer was removed by decanting and discarded. The oily residue was dissolved in a minimum amount of water, basified with aqueous 20% NaOH, and extracted with Et20. The Et20 layer was dried (K2C03) and concentrated to give 17 as tan oil. Yield 14.63 g (77%).
b). LDA (5 ml of 2.0 M solution in THF) was added to a solution of 4-iodo-2-methylaniline (2.33 g, 0.010 mole) in THF (15 ml) at -78 °C. The mixture was stirred at-78 °C for 30 minutes. To this, a solution of 17 (1.199 g, 0.005 mole) in THF (15 ml) was added. The mixture stirred for 16 hours as it warmed up to room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with aqueous NH4C1 and extracted with Et20. The Et20 layer was dried (MgS04) and concentrated to give crude 18 as brown oil.

Cascade assay for inhibitors of the MAP kinase pathway Incorporation of 32P into myelin basic protein (MBP) is assayed in the presence of a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing p44MAP
kinase (GST-MAPK) and a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing p45MEK
(GST-MEK). The assay solution contains 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM MnCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 50,~M [y-32P]ATP, 10 ~g GST-MEK, 0.5 ~g GST-MAPK and 40 ~.g MBP in a final volume of 100 ~L. Reactions are stopped after 20 minutes by addition of trichloroacetic acid and filtered through a GF/C
filter mat. 32P retained on the filter mat is determined using a 120S
Betaplate.
Compounds are assessed at 10 ~M for ability to inhibit incorporation of 32P.
To ascertain whether compounds are inhibiting GST-MEK or GST MAPK, two additional protocols are employed. In the first protocol, compounds are added to tubes containing GST-MEK, followed by addition of GST-MAPK, MBP
and [y-32P]ATP. In the second protocol, compounds are added to tubes containing both GST-MEK and GST-MAPK, followed by MBP and [y-32P]ATP.
Compounds that show activity in both protocols are scored as MAPK
inhibitors, while compounds showing activity in only the first protocol are scored as MEK inhibitors.

In vitro MAP kinase assay Inhibitory activity can be confirmed in direct assays. For MAP kinase, 1 ~g GST-MAPK is incubated with 40 ~g MBP for 15 minutes at 30°C in a final volume of 50 pL containing 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 10 ~M MgC12, 2 ~M EGTA, and pM [y-32P]ATP. The reaction is stopped by addition of Laemmli SDS sample buffer and phosphorylated MBP resolved by electrophoresis on a 10%
polyacrylamide gel. Radioactivity incorporated into MBP is determined by both 10 autoradiography, and scintillation counting of excised bands.

In vitro MEK assay For evaluation of direct MEK activity, 10 ~,g GST-MEK~ is incubated with 5 pg of a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing p44MAP kinase with a lysine to alanine mutation at position 71 (GST-MAPK-KA). This mutation eliminates kinase activity of MAPK, so only kinase activity attributed to the added MEK remains. Incubations are 15 minutes at 30°C in a final volume of 50 ~,L
containing 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 10 ~M MgC12, 2 , ~M EGTA, and 10 pM
[y-32P]ATP. The reaction is stopped by addition of Laemrnli SDS sample buffer.
Phosphorylated GST-MAPK-KA is resolved by electrophoresis on a 10%
polyacrylamide gel. Radioactivity incorporated into GST-MAPK-KA is determined by autoradiography, and subsequent scintillation counting of excised bands.
Additionally, an artificially activated MEK containing serine to glutamate mutations at positions 218 and 222 (GST-MEK-2E) is used. When these two sites are phosphorylated, MEK activity is increased. Phosphorylation of these sites can be mimicked by mutation of the serine residues to glutamate. For this assay, 5 ~g GST-MEK-2E is incubated with 5 ~g GST-MAPK-KA for 15 minutes at 30°C in the same reactian buffer as described above. Reactions are terminated and analyzed as above.

Whole cell MAP kinase assay To determine if compounds block activation of MAP kinase in whole cells, the following protocol is used. Cells are plated in multi-well plates and grown to confluence. Cells are serum-deprived overnight. Cells are exposed to the desired concentrations of compound or vehicle (DMSO) for 30 minutes, followed by addition of a growth factor, for example, PDGF (100 ng/mL). After a 5-minute treatment with the growth factor, cells are washed with PBS, and lysed in a buffer consisting of 70 mM NaCI, 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), 50 mM glycerol phosphate, and 1 % Triton X-100. Lysates are clarified by centrifugation at 13,000 x g for 10 minutes. Five micrograms of the resulting supernatants are incubated with 10 wg microtubule associated protein-2 {Map2) for 15 minutes at 30°C in a final volume of 25 ~L containing 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 10 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EGTA and 30 wM
[y s2P]ATP. Reactions are terminated by addition of Laermmli sample buffer.
Phosphorylated Map2 is resolved on 7.5% acrylamide gels and incorporated radioactivity is determined by scintillation counting of excised bands.

Monola~rer growth Cells are plated into multi-well plates at 10 to 20,000 ceIIs/mL. Forty-eight hours after seeding, test compounds are added to the cell growth medium and incubation is continued for 2 additional days. Cells are then removed from the wells by incubation with trypsin and enumerated with a Coulter counter.

Growth in soft-a~iar Cells are seeded into 35-mm dishes at 5 to 10,000 cells/dish using growth medium containing 0.3% agar. After chilling to solidify the agar, cells are transferred to a 37°C incubator. After 7 to 10 days' growth. visible colonies are manually enumerated with the aid of a dissecting microscope.

Collagen-Induced Arthritis in Mice Type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in mice is an experimental model of arthritis that has a number of pathologic, immunologic, and genetic features in common with rheumatoid arthritis. The disease is induced by immunization of DBA/1 mice with 100 pg type II collagen, which is a major component of joint cartilage, delivered intradermally in Freund's complete adjuvant. The disease susceptibility is regulated by the class II MHC gene locus, which is analogous to the association of rheumatoid arthritis with HLA-DR4.
A progressive and inflammatory arthritis develops in the majority of mice immunized, characterized by paw width increases of up to 100%. A test compound is administered to mice in a range of amounts, such as 20, 60, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight/day. The duration of the test can be several weeks to a few months, such as 40, 60, or 80 days. A clinical scoring index is used to assess disease progression from erythema and edema (stage 1), joint distortion (stage 2), to joint ankylosis (stage 3). The disease is variable in that it can affect one or all paws in an animal, resulting in a total possible score of 12 for each mouse. Histopathology of an arthritic joint reveals synovitis, pannus formation, and cartilage and bone erosions. All mouse strains that are susceptible to CIA
are high antibody responders to type II collagen, and there is a marked cellular response to CII.

SCW-induced monoarticular arthritis Arthritis is induced as described by Schwab, et al., Infection and Immunity, 59:4436-4442 (1991 ) with minor modifications. Rats receive 6 ~g sonicated SCW
[in 10 ~I Dulbecco's PBS (UPBS)] by an intraarticular injection into the right tibiotalar joint on day 0. On day 21, the DTH is initiated with 100 pg of SCW
(250 p.l) administered i.v. For oral compound studies, compounds are suspended in vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose/0.2% Tween 80), sonicated, and administered twice daily (10 ml/kg volume) beginning 1 hr prior to reactivation with SCW. Compounds are administered in amounts between 10 and 500 mg/kg body weight/day, such as 20, 30, 60, 100, 200, and 300 mg/kglday. Edema measurements are obtained by determining the baseline volumes of the sensitized hindpaw before reactivation on day 21, and comparing them with volumes at subsequent time points such as day 22, 23, 24, and 25. Paw volume is determined by mercury plethysmography.

Mouse ear-heart transalant model Fey, T.A. et al. describe methods for transplanting split-heart neonatal cardiac grafts into the ear pinna of mice and rats (J. Pharm. and Toxic. Meth.
39:9-17 (1998)). Compounds are dissolved in solutions containing combinations of absolute ethanol, 0.2% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in water, propylene glycol, cremophor, and dextrose, or other solvent or suspending vehicle. Mice are dosed orally or intraperitoneally once, twice or three times daily from the day of transplant (day 0) through day 13 or until grafts have been rejected. Rats are dosed once, twice, or three times daily from day 0 through day 13. Each animal is anesthetized and an incision is made at the base of the recipient ear, cutting only the dorsal epidermis and derrnis. The incision is spread open and down to the cartilage parallel to the head, and sufficiently wide to accommodate the appropriate tunneling for a rat or insertion tool for a mouse. A neonatal mouse or rat pup less than 60 hours old is anesthetized and cervically dislocated. The heart is removed from the chest, rinsed with saline, bisected longitudinally with a scalpel, and rinsed with sterile saline. The donor heart fragment is placed into the preformed tunnel with the insertion tool and air or residual fluid is gently expressed from the tunnel with light pressure. No suturing, adhesive bonding, bandaging, or treatment with antibiotics is required.
Implants are examined at 10-20-fold magnification with a stereoscopic dissecting microscope without anesthesia. Recipients whose grafts are not visibly beating may be anesthetized and evaluated for the presence of electrical activity using Grass E-2 platinum subdermal pin microelectodes placed either in the pinna or directly into the graft and a tachograph. Implants can be examined 1-4 times a day for 10, 20, 30 or more days. The ability of a test compound to ameliorate symptoms of transplant rejection can be compared with a control compound such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or orally-administered lefluonomide.

Murine ovalbumin-induced eosinoahilia Female C57BL/6 imice are obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME). All animals are given food and water ad libitum. Mice are sensitized with a single i.p. injection of OVA (grade V, Sigma Chemical Company, St.
Louis, MO) adsorbed to alum, ( 10 pg OVA + 9 mg alum in 200 ~I saline) or vehicle control, (9 mg alum in 200 ~I saline) on day 0. On day 14, the mice are challenged with a 12-minute inhalation of an aerosol consisting of 1.5% OVA
(weight/volume) in saline produced by a nebulizer (small particle generator, model SPAG-2; ICN Pharmaceuticals, Costa Mesa, CA). Groups of eight mice are dosed with oral vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose / 0.25% TWEEN-80), or a test compound at 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg in oral vehicle, 200 ~.! per mouse p.o. Dosing is performed once per day starting on day 7 or day 13, and extending through day 16.
For determination of pulmonary eosinophilia, three days after the first OVA aerosol challenge (day 17), the mice are anesthetized with an i.p.
injection of anesthetic (Ketamine/Acepromazine/Xylazine), and the tracheae is exposed and cannulated. The lungs and upper airways are lavaged twice with 0.5 ml of cold PBS. A portion (200 pl) of the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is enumerated using a Coulter counter Model ZB1 (Coulter Electronics, Hialeah, FL). The remaining BAL fluid is then centrifuged at 300 x g for five minutes, and the cells are resuspended in 1 ml of HBSS (Gibco BRL) containing 0.5% fetal calf serum (HyClone) and 10 mM HEPES (Gibco BRL). The cell suspension is centrifuged in a cytospin (Shandon Southern Instruments, Sewickley, PA) and stained by Diff Quick (American Scientific Products, McGraw Park, IL) to differentiate BAL leukocytes into neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte or lymphocyte subsets. The number of eosinophils in the BAL fluid is determined by multiplying the percentage of eosinophils by the total cell count.
