  • anticancer agents include:
  • the products of the invention are useful as inhibitors of a reaction catalysed by a kinase.
  • FAK, KDR and Tie2 are kinases for which the products of the invention will be particularly useful as inhibitors.
  • FAK is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in transducing the signal transmitted by the integrins, a family of heterodimeric cellular adhesion receptors. FAK and the integrins are colocated in perimembrane structures known as adhesion plaques. It has been shown in many cell types that the activation of FAK and its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues and in particular its autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 were dependent on the binding of integrins to their extracellular ligands and thus induced during cellular adhesion [Kornberg L, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 267(33): 23439-442 (1992)].
  • Autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 of FAK represents a binding site for another tyrosine kinase, Src, via its SH2 domain [Schaller et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 1680-1688 1994; Xing et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 5: 413-421 1994].
  • Src may then phosphorylate FAK on tyrosine 925, thus recruiting the adapter protein Grb2 and inducing in certain cells activation of the ras and MAP kinase pathway involved in controlling cell proliferation [Schlaepfer et al. Nature; 372: 786-791 1994; Schlaepfer et al. Prog. Biophy. Mol. Biol.
  • PI3-kinase Phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase also binds to FAK on tyrosine 397 and this interaction might be necessary for activating PI3-kinase [Chen and Guan, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA.
  • the FAK/Src complex phosphorylates various substrates, for instance paxillin and p130CAS in fibroblasts [Vuori et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 16: 2606-2613 1996].
  • fibroblasts that are deficient for FAK expression show a rounded morphology and deficiencies in cellular migration in response to chemotactic signals, and these defects are eliminated by re-expression of FAK [D J. Sieg et al., J. Cell Science. 112: 2677-91 1999].
  • Overexpression of the C-terminal domain of FAK blocks the stretching of adherent cells and reduces cell migration in vitro [Richardson A. and Parsons J. T. Nature. 380: 538-540 1996].
  • Overexpression of FAK in CHO or COS cells or in human astrocytoma cells promotes migration of the cells.
  • KDR Keratinase insert Domain Receptor
  • VEGF-R2 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2
  • VEGF-R2 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2
  • VEGF-R2 Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2
  • VEGF-R2 mutants have no other function in adults than that associated with the angiogenic activity of VEGF.
  • a selective inhibitor of the kinase activity of VEGF-R2 should show only little toxicity.
  • Tie-2 is a member of a family of tyrosine kinase receptors, which is specific to endothelial cells.
  • Tie2 is the first receptor with tyrosine kinase activity for which both the agonist (angiopoietin 1 or Ang1), which stimulates the autophosphorylation of the receptor and cell signalling [S. Davis et al. (1996) Cell 87, 1161-1169], and the antagonist (angiopoietin 2 or Ang2) [P. C. Maisonpierre et al. (1997) Science 277, 55-60] are known.
  • Angiopoietin 1 can synergize with VEGF in the final stages of neoangiogenesis [Asahara T. Circ. Res. (1998) 233-240]. Knock-out experiments and transgenic manipulations of the expression of Tie2 or of Ang1 lead to animals that present vascularization defects [D. J. Dumont et al. (1994) Genes Dev. 8, 1897-1909 and C. Sun (1996) Cell 87, 1171-1180].
  • PNAS 95, 8829-8834 have shown an inhibition of tumour growth and vascularization, and also a reduction in lung metastases, during adenoviral infections or injections of the extracellular domain of Tie-2 (Tek) into models of melanoma and breast tumour xenografts.
  • Tie2 inhibitors may be used in situations in which neovascularization takes place inappropriately (i.e. in diabetic retinopathy, chronic inflammation, psoriasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, chronic neovascularization due to macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, infantile haemoangioma and cancers).

Abstract

The disclosure relates to substituted pyrazolo-pyridines, compositions containing them, methods for the production thereof, and to their use as medicaments, in particular, as anticancer agents.

Description

    RELATED APPLICATION
  • The present application is a continuation of copending application having U.S. Ser. No. 11/778,870, filed on Jul. 17, 2007, which is a continuation of PCT/FR2006/000114 filed Jan. 18, 2006.
  • The present invention relates especially to novel chemical compounds, particularly novel substituted pyrazolopyridines, to compositions containing them and to their use as medicaments.
  • More particularly, and according to a first aspect, the invention relates to novel specific pyrazolopyridines with anticancer activity, via modulation of the activity of proteins, in particular kinases.
  • At the present time, most of the commercial compounds used in chemotherapy present considerable problems of side effects and of patient tolerance. These effects might be limited if the medicaments used act selectively on cancer cells, without touching healthy cells. One of the solutions for limiting the adverse effects of a chemotherapy may thus consist in using medicaments that act on metabolic pathways or on constituent elements of these pathways, expressed predominantly in cancer cells, and which are expressed little or not at all in healthy cells.
  • Protein kinases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the phosphorylation of hydroxyl groups of specific residues of proteins, such as tyrosine, serine or threonine residues. Such phosphorylations may greatly modify the function of the proteins; thus, protein kinases play an important role in regulating a wide variety of cell processes including, especially, metabolism, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell migration and cell survival. Among the various cellular functions in which the activity of a protein kinase is involved, certain processes represent attractive targets for treating cancer cells and also other diseases.
  • Thus, one of the objects of the present invention is to propose compositions with anticancer activity, by acting in particular with respect to kinases. Among the kinases for which modulation of the activity is desired, FAK, KDR and Tie2 are preferred.

  • The products of the invention are useful as inhibitors of a reaction catalysed by a kinase. FAK, KDR and Tie2 are kinases for which the products of the invention will be particularly useful as inhibitors.
  • The reasons for which these kinases are chosen are given below:
    • FAK
  • FAK is a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase that plays an important role in transducing the signal transmitted by the integrins, a family of heterodimeric cellular adhesion receptors. FAK and the integrins are colocated in perimembrane structures known as adhesion plaques. It has been shown in many cell types that the activation of FAK and its phosphorylation on tyrosine residues and in particular its autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 were dependent on the binding of integrins to their extracellular ligands and thus induced during cellular adhesion [Kornberg L, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 267(33): 23439-442 (1992)]. Autophosphorylation on tyrosine 397 of FAK represents a binding site for another tyrosine kinase, Src, via its SH2 domain [Schaller et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 14: 1680-1688 1994; Xing et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 5: 413-421 1994]. Src may then phosphorylate FAK on tyrosine 925, thus recruiting the adapter protein Grb2 and inducing in certain cells activation of the ras and MAP kinase pathway involved in controlling cell proliferation [Schlaepfer et al. Nature; 372: 786-791 1994; Schlaepfer et al. Prog. Biophy. Mol. Biol. 71: 435-478 1999; Schlaepfer and Hunter, J. Biol. Chem. 272: 13189-13195 1997]. The activation of FAK may also induce the jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signalling pathway and result in the progression of cells towards the G1 phase of the cell cycle [Oktay et al., J. Cell. Biol. 145: 1461-1469 1999]. Phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3-kinase) also binds to FAK on tyrosine 397 and this interaction might be necessary for activating PI3-kinase [Chen and Guan, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA. 91: 10148-10152 1994; Ling et al. J. Cell. Biochem. 73: 533-544 1999]. The FAK/Src complex phosphorylates various substrates, for instance paxillin and p130CAS in fibroblasts [Vuori et al. Mol. Cell. Biol. 16: 2606-2613 1996].
  • The results of numerous studies support the hypothesis that FAK inhibitors might be useful in treating cancer. Studies have suggested that FAK might play an important role in cell proliferation and/or survival in vitro. For example, in CHO cells, some authors have demonstrated that the overexpression of p125FAK leads to an acceleration of the transition G1 to S, suggesting that p125FAK promotes cell proliferation [Zhao J.-H et al. J. Cell Biol. 143: 1997-2008 1998]. Other authors have shown that tumour cells treated with FAK antisense oligonucleotides lose their adhesion and enter into apoptosis (Xu et al., Cell Growth Differ. 4: 413-418 1996). It has also been demonstrated that FAK promotes the migration of cells in vitro. Thus, fibroblasts that are deficient for FAK expression (FAK “knockout” mice) show a rounded morphology and deficiencies in cellular migration in response to chemotactic signals, and these defects are eliminated by re-expression of FAK [D J. Sieg et al., J. Cell Science. 112: 2677-91 1999]. Overexpression of the C-terminal domain of FAK (FRNK) blocks the stretching of adherent cells and reduces cell migration in vitro [Richardson A. and Parsons J. T. Nature. 380: 538-540 1996]. Overexpression of FAK in CHO or COS cells or in human astrocytoma cells promotes migration of the cells. The involvement of FAK in promotion of the proliferation and migration of cells in many cell types in vitro suggests the potential role of FAK in neoplastic processes. A recent study has effectively demonstrated the increase in the proliferation of tumour cells in vivo after inducing the expression of FAK in human astrocytoma cells [Cary L. A. et al. J. Cell Sci. 109: 1787-94 1996; Wang D et al. J. Cell Sci. 113: 4221-4230 2000]. Furthermore, immunohistochemical studies of human biopsies have demonstrated that FAK was overexpressed in prostate cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, brain cancer and lung cancer, the level of expression of FAK being directly correlated to the tumours showing the most aggressive phenotype [Weiner T M, et al. Lancet. 342 (8878): 1024-1025 1993; Owens et al. Cancer Research. 55: 2752-2755 1995; Maung K. et al. Oncogene 18: 6824-6828 1999; Wang D et al. J. Cell Sci. 113: 4221-4230 2000].
    • KDR
  • KDR (Kinase insert Domain Receptor), also known as VEGF-R2 (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2), is expressed solely in endothelial cells. This receptor binds to the angiogenic growth factor VEGF, and thus serves as a transduction signal mediator via the activation of its intracellular kinase domain. The direct inhibition of the kinase activity of VEGF-R2 makes it possible to reduce the phenomenon of angiogenesis in the presence of exogenous VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) (Strawn et al., Cancer Research, 1996, vol. 56, p. 3540-3545). This process has especially been demonstrated using VEGF-R2 mutants (Millauer et al., Cancer Research, 1996, vol. 56, p. 1615-1620). The VEGF-R2 receptor appears to have no other function in adults than that associated with the angiogenic activity of VEGF. Thus, a selective inhibitor of the kinase activity of VEGF-R2 should show only little toxicity.
  • In addition to this central role in the dynamic angiogenic process, recent results suggest that the expression of VEGF contributes towards the survival of tumoral cells after chemotherapy and radiotherapy, underlining the potential synergy of KDR inhibitors with other agents (Lee et al. Cancer Research, 2000, vol. 60, p. 5565-5570).
    • Tie2
  • Tie-2 (TEK) is a member of a family of tyrosine kinase receptors, which is specific to endothelial cells. Tie2 is the first receptor with tyrosine kinase activity for which both the agonist (angiopoietin 1 or Ang1), which stimulates the autophosphorylation of the receptor and cell signalling [S. Davis et al. (1996) Cell 87, 1161-1169], and the antagonist (angiopoietin 2 or Ang2) [P. C. Maisonpierre et al. (1997) Science 277, 55-60] are known. Angiopoietin 1 can synergize with VEGF in the final stages of neoangiogenesis [Asahara T. Circ. Res. (1998) 233-240]. Knock-out experiments and transgenic manipulations of the expression of Tie2 or of Ang1 lead to animals that present vascularization defects [D. J. Dumont et al. (1994) Genes Dev. 8, 1897-1909 and C. Sun (1996) Cell 87, 1171-1180]. The binding of Ang1 to its receptor leads to autophosphorylation of the kinase domain of Tie2, which is essential for neovascularization and also for the recruitment and interaction of blood vessels with the pericytes and smooth muscle cells; these phenomena contribute towards the maturation and stability of the newly formed blood vessels [P. C. Maisonpierre et al. (1997) Science 277, 55-60]. Lin et al. (1997) J. Clin. Invest. 100, 8: 2072-2078 and Lin P. (1998) PNAS 95, 8829-8834 have shown an inhibition of tumour growth and vascularization, and also a reduction in lung metastases, during adenoviral infections or injections of the extracellular domain of Tie-2 (Tek) into models of melanoma and breast tumour xenografts.
  • Tie2 inhibitors may be used in situations in which neovascularization takes place inappropriately (i.e. in diabetic retinopathy, chronic inflammation, psoriasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, chronic neovascularization due to macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, infantile haemoangioma and cancers).

  • It is understood by a person skilled in the art that, for the implementation of the processes according to the invention described above, it may be necessary to introduce protecting groups for the amino, carboxyl and alcohol functions in order to avoid side reactions. These groups are those that can be removed without affecting the rest of the molecule. As examples of protecting groups for the amino function, mention may be made of tert-butyl carbamate, which may be regenerated using trifluoroacetic acid or iodotrimethylsilane, and acetyl, which may be regenerated in acidic medium (for example hydrochloric acid). As protecting groups for the carboxyl function, mention may be made of esters (for example methoxymethyl ester or benzyl ester). As protecting groups for the alcohol function, mention may be made of esters (for example benzoyl ester), which may be regenerated in acidic medium or by catalytic hydrogenation. Other protecting groups that may be used are described by T. W. Greene et al. in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, third edition, 1999, Wiley-Interscience.

  • The invention is also described by the examples that follow, which are given as illustrations of the invention.
  • The LC/MS analyses were performed on an LCT Micromass machine connected to an HP 1100 machine. The abundance of the products was measured using an HP G1315A diode array detector over a wavelength range of 200-600 nm and a Sedex 65 light scattering detector. The mass spectra were acquired over a range from 180 to 800. The data were analysed using the Micromass MassLynx software. The separation was performed on a Hypersil BDS C18 3 μm (50×4.6 mm) column, eluting with a linear gradient of 5% to 90% acetonitrile containing 0.05% (v/v) of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in water containing 0.05% (v/v) of TFA, over 3.5 minutes at a flow rate of 1 ml/minute. The total analysis time, including the column reequilibration period, is 7 minutes.
  • The mass spectra were acquired in electrospray (ES+) mode on a Platform II (Micromass) machine. The main ions observed are described.
  • The melting points were measured by capillary, on a Mettler FP62 machine, over the range 30° C. to 300° C., with a temperature rise of 2° C. per minute.
    • Purification by LC/MS:
  • The products may be purified by LC/MS using a Waters FractionsLynx system composed of a Waters 600 gradient pump, a Waters 515 regeneration pump, a Waters Reagent Manager dilution pump, a Waters 2700 auto-injector, two Rheodyne LabPro valves, a Waters 996 diode array detector, a Waters ZMD mass spectrometer and a Gilson 204 fraction collector. The system was controlled by the Waters FractionLynx software. The separation was performed alternately on two Waters Symmetry (C18, 5 μM, 19×50 mm, catalogue reference 186000210) columns, one column undergoing regeneration with a 95/5 (v/v) water/acetonitrile mixture containing 0.07% (v/v) of trifluoroacetic acid, while the other column was being used for separation. The columns were eluted using a linear gradient of 5% to 95% acetonitrile containing 0.07% (v/v) of trifluoroacetic acid in water containing 0.07% (v/v) of trifluoroacetic acid, at a flow rate of 10 ml/minute. On leaving the separation column, one thousandth of the effluent is separated out using an LC Packing Accurate machine, diluted with methanol at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/minute and conveyed to the detectors, in a proportion of 75% to the diode array detector and the remaining 25% to the mass spectrometer. The rest of the effluent (999/1000) is conveyed to the fraction collector, where the flow is discarded if the mass of the expected product is not detected by the FractionLynx software. The molecular formulae of the expected products are supplied to the FractionLynx software, which triggers the collection of the product when the mass signal detected corresponds to the [M+H]+ion and/or to the [M+Na]+ion. In certain cases, depending on the analytical LC/MS results, when an intense ion corresponding to [M+2H]++ was detected, the value corresponding to half the calculated molecular mass (MW/2) is also supplied to the FractionLynx software. Under these conditions, collection is also triggered when the mass signal of the [M+2H]++ and/or [M+Na+H]++ ion is detected. The products were collected in tared glass tubes. After collection, the solvents were evaporated off, in a Savant AES 2000 or Genevac HT8 centrifugal evaporator and the masses of the products were determined by weighing the tubes after evaporation of the solvents.

    • Determination of the Activity of the Compounds—Experimental Protocols 1. FAK
  • The inhibitory activity of the compounds on FAK is determined by measuring the inhibition of autophosphorylation of the enzyme using a time-resolved fluorescence test (HTRF).
  • The whole cDNA of human FAK, the N-terminal end of which has been labelled with histidine, was cloned in a pFastBac HTc baculovirus expression vector. The protein was expressed and purified to about 70% homogeneity.
  • The kinase activity is determined by incubating the enzyme (6.6 μg/mL) with different concentrations of test compound in a 50 mM Hepes pH=7.2, 10 mM MgCl2, 100 μm Na3VO4, 15 μM ATP buffer for 1 hour at 37° C. The enzymatic reaction is stopped by adding Hepes pH=7.0 buffer containing 0.4 mM KF, 133 mM EDTA, 0.1% BSA and the labelling is performed, for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature, by adding to this buffer an anti-Histidine antibody labelled with XL665 and a tyrosine phosphospecific monoclonal antibody conjugated to europium cryptate (Eu—K). The characteristics of the two fluorophores are available in G. Mathis et al., Anticancer Research, 1997, 17, pages 3011-3014. The energy transfer from the excited europium cryptate to the acceptor XL665 is proportional to the degree of autophosphorylation of FAK. The long-lasting signal specific for XL-665 is measured in a Packard Discovery plate counter. All the tests are performed in duplicate and the average of the two tests is calculated. The inhibition of the autophosphorylation activity of FAK with compounds of the invention is expressed as a percentage of inhibition relative to a control whose activity is measured in the absence of test compound. To calculate the percentage inhibition, the ratio [signal at 665 nm/signal at 620 nm] is considered.
    • 2. KDR
  • The inhibitory effect of the compounds is determined in an in vitro test of phosphorylation of substrate with the enzyme KDR via a scintillation technique (96-well plate, NEN).
  • The cytoplasmic domain of the human KDR enzyme was cloned in the form of a GST fusion protein in the pFastBac baculovirus expression vector. The protein was expressed in the SF21 cells and purified to about 60% homogeneity.
  • The KDR kinase activity is measured in a 20 mM MOPS, 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MnCl2, 1 mM DTT, 2.5 mM EGTA, 10 mM b-glycerophosphate, pH=7.2 buffer, in the presence of 10 mM MgCl2, 100 μm Na3VO4, 1 mM NaF. 10 μl of the compound are added to 70 μL of kinase buffer containing 100 ng of KDR enzyme at 4° C. The reaction is initiated by adding 20 μL of solution containing 2 μg of substrate (SH2-SH3 fragment of PLCγ expressed in the form of a GST fusion protein), 2 μCi of γ 33P[ATP] and 2 μm of cold ATP. After incubation for one hour at 37° C., the reaction is stopped by adding 1 volume (100 μl) of 200 mM EDTA. The incubation buffer is removed, and the wells are washed three times with 300 μL of PBS. The radioactivity in each well is measured using a Top Count NXT radioactivity counter (Packard).
  • The background is determined by measuring the radioactivity in four different wells containing radioactive ATP and the substrate alone.
  • A total activity control is measured in four different wells containing all the reagents (γ33P-[ATP], KDR and substrate PLCγ), but in the absence of compound.
  • The inhibition of the KDR activity with the compound of the invention is expressed as a percentage of inhibition of the control activity determined in the absence of compound.
  • Compound SU5614 (Calbiochem) (1 μm) is included in each plate as an inhibition control.
    • 3. Tie2
  • The coding sequence of human Tie2 corresponding to the amino acids of the intracellular domain 776-1124 was generated by PCR using the cDNA isolated from human placenta as a model. This sequence was introduced into a pFastBacGT baculovirus expression vector in the form of a GST fusion protein.
  • The inhibitory effect of the molecules is determined in a test of phosphorylation of PLC with Tie2 in the presence of GST-Tie2 purified to about 80% homogeneity. The substrate is composed of the SH2-SH3 fragments of PLC expressed in the form of a GST fusion protein.
  • The kinase activity of Tie2 is measured in a MOPS 20 mM pH 7.2 buffer, containing 10 mM MgCl2, 10 mM MnCl2, 1 mM DTT, 10 mM of glycerophosphate. In a 96-well FlashPlate plate maintained on ice, a reaction mixture is deposited, composed of 70 μL of kinase buffer containing 100 ng of enzyme GST-Tie2 per well. Next, 10 μL of the test molecule diluted in DMSO to a maximum concentration of 10% are added. For a given concentration, each measurement is performed four times. The reaction is initiated by adding 20 μL of solution containing 2 μg of GST-PLC, 2 μm of cold ATP and 1 μCi of 33P[ATP]. After incubation for one hour at 37° C., the reaction is stopped by adding 1 volume (100 μl) of EDTA 200 mM. After removal of the incubation buffer, the wells are washed three times with 300 μL of PBS. The radioactivity is measured on a MicroBeta1450 Wallac.
  • The inhibition of the Tie2 activity is calculated and expressed as a percentage of inhibition relative to the control activity determined in the absence of compound.
