The compounds of the present invention are selective kinase or dual-kinase inhibitors useful in a method for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder. In particular, the kinase is selected from a cyclin dependent kinase and a tyrosine kinase. More particularly, the kinase is selected from cyclin dependent kinase- 1, cyclin dependent kinase-2, cyclin dependent kinase-4, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, endothelial growth factor receptor or human epidermal growth factor receptor-2.

Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors play a critical role in regulating progression of the eukaryotic cell through the cell cycle by associating with protein complexes composed of cyclins and cyclin- dependent kinases and thus down-regulating the activity of the cyclin- dependent kinases. Pathways involving cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors are frequently disrupted in tumor cells leading to abnormal regulation of the cell cycle. Overexpression of cyclin- dependent kinase inhibitors leads to arrest of cells at one of the check points in the cell cycle. Therefore, using cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors for tumor therapy is intuitively attractive because it has the potential for tumour growth. Inhibition or for the inhibition or control of uncontrolled cell proliferation such as occurs in some angiopathies, benign tumor growth, leukemias, and the like. A particularly good CDK inhibitor target for the design of anti-tumor agents is the CDK-1 receptor. This protein controls the last checkpoint in the cell cycle between the G2 and M phase.

A second protein target that can facilitate elimination of a tumor is the tyrosine kinase vascular endothelial growth factor (NEGF) receptor. This protein is associated with both normal and pathological angiogenesis. The NEGF receptors are tripartite, consisting of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Presently there are two known NEGF receptors: (1) NEGF-R2 (KDR/Flkl/NEGF-R2), a receptor that mediates the biological activities of mitogenesis and proliferation of endothelial cells; and (2) NEGF-R1 (Fltl/NEGF- Rl), a receptor that mediates functions such as endothelial cell adhesion, inhibition of NEGF-R2 signalling has been shown to inhibit the process of angiogenesis. Inhibitors of this receptor are likely useful in controlling or limiting angiogenesis.

Many conventional cytotoxic cancer therapies destroy the rapidly dividing epithelium of the hair follicle and induce alopecia (hair loss). Inhibition of cyclin dependent kinases may represent a therapeutic strategy for prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia by arresting the cell cycle and reducing the sensitivity of epithelial cells to antitumor agents (Davis S.T., etal., Prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in rats by CDK inhibitors, Science, 2001, (Jan 5), 291, 5501, 25-6). Topical application of non-apoptotic CDK inhibitors represents a potentially useful approach for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia in cancer patients.

Although coronary angioplasty is a highly effective procedure used to reduce the severity of coronary occlusion, its long-term success is limited by a high rate of restenosis. Vascular smooth muscle cell activation, migration, and proliferation is largely responsible for restenosis following angioplasty (Ross, R., Nature, 1993, 362, 801-809). Recent studies have shown that CDK2 is activated very early after endothelial denudation in a rat carotid artery model of restenosis (Wei, G. L., et al., Circ. Res., 1997, 80, 418-426). Therefore, antiproliferative therapies targeted to cyclin dependent kinases or other components of the cell cycle machinery may be a suitable approach to treat these disorders.

Embodiments of the method of the present invention include a method for treating or ameliorating a selective kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an instant compound or pharmaceutical composition thereof. The therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of Formula (I) exemplified in such a method is from about 0.001 mg/kg/day to about 300 mg/kg/day. Embodiments of the present invention include the use of a compound of Formula (I) for the preparation of a medicament for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof.

In accordance with the methods of the present invention, an individual compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutical composition thereof can be administered separately at different times during the course of therapy or concurrently in divided or single combination forms. The instant invention is therefore to be understood as embracing all such regimes of simultaneous or alternating treatment and the term "administering" is to be interpreted accordingly.

Embodiments of the present method include a compound or pharmaceutical composition thereof advantageously co-administered in combination with other agents for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder. The combination product comprises co-administration of a compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutical composition thereof and an additional agent for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder, the sequential administration of a compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutical composition thereof and an additional agent for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder, administration of a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound of Fonnula (I) or pharmaceutical composition thereof and an additional agent for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder or the essentially simultaneous admimstration of a separate pharmaceutical composition containing a compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutical composition thereof and a separate pharmaceutical composition containing an additional agent for treating or ameliorating a kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorder.

The term "other agents" includes, and is not limited to, anti-angiogenic agents, anti-tumor agents, cytotoxic agents, inhibitors of cell proliferation, and the like. The term "treating or ameliorating" includes, and is not limited to, facilitating the eradication of, inhibiting the progression of or promoting stasis of a malignancy. For example, a dual CDK1-NEGF-R inhibitor compound of the present invention, acting as an anti-angiogenic agent can be administered in a dosing regimen with at least one other cytotoxic compound, such as a DNA alkylating agent. Preferred anti-tumor agents are selected from the group consisting of cladribine (2-chloro-2'-deoxy-(beta)- D-adenosine), Chlorambucil (4-[bis(2-chlorethyl)amino]benzenebutanoic acid), DTIC- Dome (5-(3,3-dimethyl-l-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide), platinum chemotherapeutics and nonplatinum chemotherapeutics. Platinum containing anti- tumor agents include, but are not limited to, cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum). Non-platinum containing anti-tumor agents include, but are not limited to, cyclophosphamide, fluorouracil, epirubicin, methotrexate, vincristine, doxorubicin, bleomycin, and etoposide. Each anti-tumor agent is administered in a therapeutically effective amount, which varies based on the agent used, the type of malignancy to be treated or ameliorated and other conditions, according to methods well known in the art.

The term "subject" as used herein, refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, most preferably a human, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein, means that amount of active compound or pharmaceutical agent that elicits the biological or medicinal response in a tissue system, animal or human, that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor, or other clinician, which includes alleviation of the symptoms of the disease or disorder being treated.

The ubiquitous nature of the kinase isoforms and their important roles in physiology provide incentive to produce highly selective kinase inhibitors. Given the evidence demonstrating linkage of certain isoforms to disease states, it is reasonable to assume that inhibitory compounds that are selective to one or two isoforms (those compounds selective to at least two cyclin dependent kinase or tyrosine kinase isoforms are refened to as dual kinase inhibitors) or to a single isoform relative to other isoforms and other kinases are superior therapeutic agents. Such compounds should demonstrate greater efficacy and lower toxicity by virtue of their specificity. Accordingly, it will be appreciated by one skilled in the art that a compound of Formula (I) is therapeutically effective for certain kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorders based on the modulation of the disorder by selective kinase or dual-kinase inhibition. The activity of the instant compounds as selective kinase or dual-kinase inhibitors is derived from the novel combination of the structural elements X, R₃ and R₄ optimally substituted on the triazole scaffold. The usefulness of a compound of Formula (I) as a selective kinase or dual-kinase inhibitor can be determined according to the methods disclosed herein and the scope of such usefulness includes use in one or more kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorders.

Therefore, the term "kinase or dual-kinase mediated disorders" as used herein, includes, and is not limited to compounds capable of inhibiting one or more kinases where knase inhibition is also associated with cancers, abnormal cell proliferation, tumor growth, tumor vascularization, as well as angiopathy, angiogenesis, chemotherapy-induced alopecia and restenosis.

The compounds of this invention are useful as an adjunct to a variety of chemotherapeutic agents that are recommended for specific cancer therapy regimes. For example, the compounds of this invention have been demonstrated to be useful in combination therapies with at least one other chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of a number of different cancers and advantageously appears to facilitate the use of a reduced dose of the chemotherapeutic agent that is recommended for a particular cancer or cell proliferation disorder. Therefore, it is contemplated that the compounds of this invention can be used in a treatment regime before the administration of a particular chemotherapeutic agent recommended for the treatment of a particular cancer, during adminstration of the chemotherapeutic agent or after treatment with a particular chemotherapeutic agent.

Pharmaceutical compositions contemplated within this invention can be prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical techniques. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier may be used in the composition of the invention. The composition may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration including, but not limited to, intravenous (both bolus and infusion), oral, nasal, transdermal, topical with or without occlusion, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular or parenteral, all using forms well known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. In preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, one or more of the usual pharmaceutical carriers may be employed, such as water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents, syrup and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations (for example, suspensions, elixirs and solutions), or carriers such as starches, sugars, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of oral solid preparations (for example, powders, capsules and tablets).

As is also known in the art, the compounds may alternatively be administered parenterally via injection of a formulation consisting of the active ingredient dissolved in an inert liquid carrier. The injectable formulation can include the active ingredient mixed with an appropriate inert liquid carrier. Acceptable liquid carriers include vegetable oils such as peanut oil, cotton seed oil, sesame oil, and the like, as well as organic solvents such as solketal, glycerol, formal, and the like. As an alternative, aqueous parenteral formulations may also be used. For example, acceptable aqueous solvents include water, Ringer's solution and an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Further, a sterile non- volatile oil can usually be employed as solvent or suspending agent in the aqueous formulation. The formulations are prepared by dissolving or suspending the active ingredient in the liquid carrier such that the final formulation contains from 0.005 to 10% by weight of the active ingredient. Other additives including a preservative, an isotonizer, a solubilizer, a stabilizer and a pain-soothing agent may adequately be employed.

Furthermore, compounds of the present invention can be administered in intranasal fonn via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.

Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent an advantageous oral dosage unit form, wherein solid pharmaceutical carriers are employed. If desired, tablets may be sugarcoated or enteric-coated by standard techniques.

For liquid forms the active drug component can be combined in suitably flavored suspending or dispersing agents such as the synthetic and natural gums, including for example, tragacanth, acacia, methyl-cellulose and the like. Other dispersing agents that may be employed include glycerin and the like.

The compounds of the present invention can also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes containing delivery systems as well known in the art are formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine or phosphatidylcholines.

The instant pharmaceutical composition will generally contain a per dosage unit

(e.g., tablet, capsule, powder, injection, teaspoonful and the like) from about 0.001 to about 100 mg/kg. In one embodiment, the instant pharmaceutical composition contains a per dosage unit of from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg of compound, and preferably from about 0.05 to about 20 mg/kg. Methods are known in the art for determining therapeutically effective doses for the instant pharmaceutical composition. The therapeutically effective amount for administering the pharmaceutical composition to a human, for example, can be determined mathematically from the results of animal studies.

Biological Examples The utility of the compounds to treat or ameliorate a cyclin dependent kinase and tyrosine kinase mediated disorders was determined using the following procedures.

Example 1 CDK1 Screening Assay

A kinase reaction mixture was prepared containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mM a₃PO₄, 1 mM DTT, 10 μM ATP, 0.025 μM biotinylated histone-Hl peptide substrate and 0.2 μCuries per well^33P-γ-ATP [2000-3000 Ci/mmol]. 70 μL of the kinase reaction mixture was dispensed into the well of a streptavidin coated FlashPlate™ (Cat. # SMP103, NEN, Boston, MA). Then 1 μL of test compound stock in 100% DMSO was added to the wells resulting in a final concentration of 1% DMSO in the reaction with a 100 μl final reaction volume. Next, CDK1 :Cyclin-B protein was diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.0, 0.1% BSA at a concentration of 1 ng per μL and 30 μl (30ng enzyme per test well) was added to each well to initiate the reaction. The reaction was incubated for one hour at 30°C. At the end of the 1-hour incubation, the reaction was terminated by aspirating the reaction mixture from the plate and washing the wells twice with PBS containing 100 mM EDTA. The histone-Hl biotinylated peptide substrate became immobilized on the Flashplate^™ and the incorporation of ³³P-γ- ATP was measured by reading the plate on a scintillation counter. Inhibition of the enzymatic activity of CDK1 was measured by observing a reduced amount of ³³P-γ- ATP incorporated into the immobilized peptide.

VEGF-R Screening Assay

A kinase reaction mixture was prepared containing 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mM Na^O 1 mM DTT, 10 μM ATP, 0.025 μM biotinylated peptide substrate and 0.8 μCuries per well ^33P-γ- ATP [2000-3000 Ci/mmol]. 70 μL of the kinase reaction mixture was dispensed into the well of a streptavidin coated FlashPlate™ (Cat. # SMP103, NEN, Boston, MA). Then 1 μL of test compound stock in 100% DMSO was added to the wells resulting in a final concentration of 1% DMSO in the reaction with a 100 μL final reaction volume. Next, soluble rat tyrosine kinase containing an N-terminal 6XHIS tag was diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.0, 0.1% BSA at a concentration of 5 ng per μL and 30 μL (150 ng enzyme per test well) was added to each well to initiate the reaction. The reaction was incubated for one hour at 30°C. At the end of the 1-hour incubation, the reaction was terminated by aspirating the reaction mixture from the plate and washing the wells twice with PBS containing 100 mM EDTA. The PLC1 biotinylated peptide substrate became immobilized on the Flashplate^™ and the incorporation of ³³P-γ-ATP was measured by reading the plate on a scintillation counter. Inhibition of the enzymatic activity of the VEGF-R was measured by observing a reduced amount of ³³P-γ-ATP incorporated into the immobilized peptide.

IC₅₀ data for NEGF-R and CDK are shown in Table 1. IC₅₀ values listed as >10 or >100 indicate no observed 50% inhibition at the highest dose tested, nor was an inhibition maxima observed. ΝD means not tested.

Kinase Selectivity Assays

Assays to test compound inhibition of other kinases were preformed using methods that measure the amount of phosphorylation of a biotinylated peptide substrate.

Biotinylated peptide substrates were selected from the literature as appropriate for the enzyme being evaluated. The general procedure used to assay for kinase activity is as follows: A kinase reaction mix was prepared in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.1 mM NaaVC 1 mM DTT, 10 μM ATP, 0.25-1 μM biotinylated peptide substrate, 0.2-0.8 μCuries per well ³³P-γ-ATP [2000-3000 Ci/mmol]. Assay conditions vary slightly for each protein kinase, for example, insulin receptor kinase requires 10 mM MnCl₂ for activity and Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase requires calmodulin and 10 mM CaCl₂. These assay conditions are known in the art. The reaction mixture was dispensed into the wells of a streptavidin coated Flashplate and 1 μl drug stock in 100% DMSO was added to a 100 μl reaction volume resulting in a final concentration of 1% DMSO in the reaction. Enzyme was diluted in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH=8.0, 0.1% BSA and added to each well. The reaction was incubated for one hour at 30°C in the presence of compound. After one hour the reaction mix was aspirated from, the plate and the plate was washed with PBS containing 100 mM EDTA. The plate was read on a scintillation counter to determine ³³P-γ-ATP incorporated into the immobilized peptide. Test compounds were assayed in duplicate at 8 concentrations [100 uM, 10 uM, 1 uM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 100 pM, 10 pM]. A maximum and minimum signal for the assay was determined on each plate. The IC₅₀ was calculated from the dose response curve of the percent inhibition of the maximum signal in the assay according to the formula [max signal - background/test compound signal - background (100) = % inhibition] by graphing the percent inhibition against the log concentration of test compound. Known inhibitor compounds appropriate for the kinase being assayed were also included on each plate.

Definition and Source of Kinase Enzymes

NEGF-R (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2) is a fusion protein containing a polyhistidine tag at the Ν-terminus followed by amino acids 786-1343 of the rat NEGF- R2 kinase domain (GenBank Accession #U93306). CDK1 (cyclin dependent kinase 1) was isolated from insect cells expressing both the human CDK1 catalytic subunit and its positive regulatory subunit cyclin B (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, Cat. # 6020). CDK2 in complex with cyclin A is commercially available (Upstate Biotech, Lake Placid, NY). The CDK4 complex was composed of a mouse CDK4 protein and a mouse Cyclin Dl protein (The mouse CDK4 protein was genetically fused to an N- terminal Flag-epitope tag and the mouse Cyclin Dl protein was fused with an N- tenninal AU-1 epitope tag. The genes encoding these proteins were transfened to commercially available baculo viral vectors. The recombinant CDK4/D1 complex was then made by co-infecting commercially available insect cells with viruses carrying these two constructs). Insulin Receptor Kinase consists of residues 941-1313 of the cytoplasmic domain of the beta-subunit of the human insulin receptor (BIOMOL, Plymouth Meeting, PA, Cat. #SE-195). Protein Kinase A is the catalytic subunit of cAMP dependent protein kinase-A purified from bovine heart (Upstate Biotech, Lake Placid, NY, Cat#14-114). PKC (protein kinase-C) is the gamma or beta isoform of the human protein produced in insect cells (BIOMOL, Plymouth Meeting, PA, Cat. #SE- 143). Casein Kinase 1 is a truncation at amino acid 318 of the C-terminal portion of the rat CK1 delta isoform produced in E.coli (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, Cat. #6030). Casein Kinase 2 includes the alpha and beta subunits of the human CK2 protein produced in E.coli (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, Cat. #6010). Calmodulin Kinase (calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 2) is a truncated version of the alpha subunit of the rat protein produced in insect cells (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, Cat. #6060). Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 is the beta isoform of the rabbit enzyme produced in E.coli (New England Biolabs, Beverly, MA, Cat. #6040). MAP Kinase is the rat ERK-2 isofonn containing a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus produced in E.coli. and activated by phosphorylation with MEK1 prior to purification (BIOMOL, Plymouth Meeting, PA, Cat. #SE-137). ERK-1 protein (Discontinued from Calbiochem). EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is purified from human A431 cell membranes (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, Cat.# E3641). PDGF-R (platelet derived growth factor receptor) is a fusion protein containing a polyhistidine tag at the N- terminus followed by nucleotides 1874-3507 of the human PDGF-R beta subunit kinase domain (Accession #M21616). The HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) construct contains a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus followed by 24 additional amino acids and begins at amino acid 676 followed by the remainder of the HER2 cytoplasmic domain.

Example 3

Assay to Measure Inhibition of Cell Proliferation The ability of a test compound to inhibit the proliferation of cell growth was determined by measuring incorporation of ¹⁴C-labelled thymidine into newly synthesized DΝA within the cells. This method was used on cell lines derived from carcinomas originating from several tissues such as HeLa cervical adenocarcinoma (American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Virginia, Cat. #CCL-2), A375 malignant melanoma (ATCC CRL- 1619), SK-OV-3 ovarian adenocarcinoma (ATCC HTB-77) HCT-116 colon carcinoma (CCL-247), PC-3 prostate adenocarcinoma (ATCC CRL- 1435), and MDA-MB-231 (Xenogen Corp.) In this way the effect of a compound on cell growth of cells with many different phenotypes can be determined. Cells were trypsinized and counted and 3000-8000 cells were added to each well of a 96-well CytoStar tissue culture treated scintillating microplate (Amersham #RPΝQ0160) in complete medium in a volume of 100 μl. Cells were incubated for 24 hours in complete medium at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO₂.

Next, 1 μl of test compound in 100% DMSO was added to the wells of the plate. DMSO only was added to control wells. Cells were incubated for 24 more hours in complete medium at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5% CO₂. Methyl ¹⁴C-thymidine 56 mCi/mmol (NEN #NEC568 or Amersham #CFA532) was diluted in complete medium and 0.2 uCi/well was added to each well of the CytoStar plate in a volume of 20 ul. The plate was incubated for 24 hours at 37°C plus 5% CO₂ in drug plus ¹⁴C- thymidine. The contents of the plate were discarded into a ¹⁴C radioactive waste container by inverting the plate and the plate was washed twice with 200 μl PBS. 200 μl of PBS is added to each well. The top of the plate was sealed with a transparent plate sealer and a white plate backing sealer (Packard #6005199) was applied to the bottom of the plate. The degree of methyl ¹⁴C-thymidine incorporation was quantified on a Packard Top Count.

In Vivo Models - Inhibition of Tumor Growth

The in vivo effect of a compound on the growth of human tumor cells can be evaluated by implanting human tumor cells into the hindflank of athymic mice and administering test compound to the mice. Human tumor cells originating from a variety of different tumor types, such as A375 human melanoma cells, are implanted subcutaneously into the hindflank of male athymic mice (Charles River) and allowed to establish a sizeable tumor for 6-10 days as determined by caliper measurements. Test compound is then administered by injecting the compound formulated in an appropriate vehicle intraperitoneally into the mice once a day for 30 days. The test compound can also be administered by other routes such as orally, sub cutaneously or by intravenous infusion. The size of the tumor in this study is measured every four days and the degree of inhibition is determined by comparing drug-treated animals to animals that are injected with vehicle only

The synergistic action or enhancement of conventional chemotherapeutic agent by a test compound can also be determined with this model by comparing animals treated with the standard therapy alone to animals treated with test compound plus the same standard therapy. An additive effect on the delay of tumor growth will be observed if synergistic action due to test compound is occurring.

While the foregoing specification teaches the principles of the present invention, with examples provided for the purpose of illustration, it will be understood that the practice of the invention encompasses all of the usual variations, adaptations and modifications as come within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
