Description

BENZIMIDAZOLES
The present invention relates to new benzimidazoles of general formula (1)
Figure imgf000002_0001
wherein the groups R1, R2 and X have the meanings given in the claims and specification, the isomers thereof, processes for preparing these benzimidazoles and their use as medicaments.
Background to the invention
A number of protein kinases have already proved to be suitable target molecules for therapeutic intervention in a variety of indications, e.g. cancer and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Since a high percentage of the genes involved in the development of cancer which have been identified thus far encode kinases, these enzymes are attractive target molecules for the therapy of cancer in particular.
Phosphatidylinosito 1-3 -kinases (PB -kinases) are a subfamily of the lipid kinases which catalyse the transfer of a phosphate group to the 3 '-position of the inositol ring of phosphoinositides.
They play an important role in numerous cell processes such as e.g. cell growth and differentiation processes, the control of cytoskeletal changes and the regulation of intracellular transport processes. On the basis of their in vitro specificity for certain phosphoinositide substrates the PI3-kinases can be divided into different categories. WO00/29404 describes pyrimidinylbenzimidazole and triazinylbenzimidazole derivatives as agricultural/horticultural bactericides.
Detailed description of the invention
It has now surprisingly been found that compounds of general formula (1), wherein the groups R1, R2 and X have the meanings given below, act as inhibitors of kinases. Thus, the compounds according to the invention may be used for example for the treatment of diseases connected with the activity of kinases and characterised by excessive or abnormal cell proliferation.

Definitions As used herein the following definitions apply, unless stated otherwise.
By alkyl substituents are meant in each case saturated, unsaturated, straight-chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon groups (alkyl group) and this includes both saturated alkyl groups and unsaturated alkenyl and alkynyl groups. Alkenyl substituents are in each case straight-chain or branched, unsaturated alkyl groups, which have at least one double bond. By alkynyl substituents are meant in each case straight-chain or branched, unsaturated alkyl groups, which have at least one triple bond.
The term heteroalkyl refers to groups which can be derived from alkyl as defined above in its broadest sense by replacing one or more of the groups -CH3 in the hydrocarbon chains independently of one another by the groups -OH, -SH or -NH2, one or more of the groups -CH2- independently of one another by the groups -O-, -S- or -NH- , one or more of the groups
H
I
— c —
by the group
— N —
one or more of the groups =CH- by the group =N-, one or more of the groups =CH2 by the group =NH or one or more of the groups ≡CH by the group ≡N, while in all only a maximum of three heteroatoms may be present in a heteroalkyl, there must be at least one carbon atom between two oxygen and between two sulphur atoms or between one oxygen and one sulphur atom and the group as a whole must have chemical stability.
It flows from the indirect definition/derivation from alkyl that heteroalkyl is made up of the sub-groups of saturated hydrocarbon chains with hetero-atom(s), heteroalkenyl and heteroalkynyl, while further subdivision into straight-chain (unbranched) and branched may be carried out. If a heteroalkyl is supposed to be substituted, the substitution may take place independently of one another, in each case mono- or polysubstituted, at all the hydrogen-carrying oxygen, sulphur, nitrogen and/or carbon atoms. Heteroalkyl itself may be linked to the molecule as substituent both through a carbon atom and through a heteroatom.
By way of example, the following representative compounds are listed: dimethylamino methyl; dimethylaminoethyl (1- dimethylaminoethyl; 2-dimethyl- aminoethyl); dimethylaminopropyl (1-dimethylaminopropyl, 2-dimethylaminopropyl, 3 -dimethylaminopropyl); diethylamino methyl; diethylaminoethyl (1-diethylamino ethyl, 2- diethylaminoethyl); diethylaminopropyl (1-diethylaminopropyl, 2- diethylamino -propyl, 3- diethylaminopropyl); diisopropylaminoethyl (1-diisopropylaminoethyl, 2-di- isopropylaminoethyl); bis-2-methoxyethylamino; [2-(dimethylamino-ethyl)-ethyl-amino]- methyl; 3-[2-(dimethylamino-ethyl)-ethyl-amino]-propyl; hydroxymethyl; 2-hydroxy- ethyl; 3-hydroxypropyl; methoxy; ethoxy; propoxy; methoxymethyl; 2-methoxyethyl etc.

The Examples that follow describe the biological activity of the compounds according to the invention without restricting the invention to these Examples.
PC3 proliferation test
The test is based on measurement of cellular DNA content via fluorescent dye binding. Because cellular DNA content is highly regulated, it is closely proportional to cell number. The extent of proliferation is determined by comparing cell counts for samples treated with drugs with untreated controls.
PC3 (human prostate carcinoma cell line) cells are sown in microtitre plates and incubated overnight in culture medium at 37 0C and 5 % CO2. The test substances are diluted stepwise and added to the cells such that the total volume is 200 μl/well. Cells to which diluent, but not substance, is added serve as controls. After an incubation time of 3 days, the medium is replaced by 100 μL/well dye-binding solution and the cells are incubated at 37 0C in the dark for a further 60 min. For measuring the fluorescence, excitation takes place at a wavelength of 485 nm and the emission is measured at 530 nm. EC50 values are calculated using the GraphPad Prism program.
P-AKT measurement in PC3 cells
P-AKT levels in PC3 cells are detected by cell-based ELISA. Cells are cultured in 96-well plates and treated with serial dilutions of test substances for 2 h. Cells to which diluent, but not substance, is added serve as controls. Subsequently, the cells are fixed rapidly to preserve protein modifications. Each well is then incubated with a primary antibody specific for Ser473-phosphorylated AKT. Subsequent incubation with secondary HRP- conjugated antibody and developing solution provides a colorimetric readout at 450 nm. EC50 values are calculated using the GraphPad Prism program.
The substances of the present invention are PB kinase inhibitors. On account of their biological properties, the novel compounds of the general formula (1) and their isomers and their physiologically tolerated salts are suitable for treating diseases which are characterized by excessive or anomalous cell proliferation.

Examples of suitable forms for use are tablets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, in particular solutions for injection (s.c, i.v., i.m.) and infusion, syrups, emulsions or dispersible powders. In this connection, the proportion of the pharmaceutically active compound(s) should in each case be in the range of 0.1-90% by weight, preferably 0.5- 50% by weight, of the total composition, that is in quantities which are sufficient to achieve the dosage range which is specified below. If necessary, the doses mentioned can be given several times a day.
Appropriate tablets can be obtained, for example, by mixing the active compound(s) with known auxiliary substances, for example inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or lactose, disintegrants, such as maize starch or alginic acid, binders, such as starch or gelatine, lubricants, such as magnesium stearate or talc, and/or agents for achieving a depot effect, such as carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate or polyvinyl acetate. The tablets can also comprise several layers.
Correspondingly, sugar-coated tablets can be produced by coating cores, which have been prepared in analogy with tablets, with agents which are customarily used in sugar coatings, for example collidone or shellac, gum arabic, talc, titanium dioxide or sugar. The core can also comprise several layers in order to achieve a depot effect or to avoid incompatibilities. In the same way, the sugar coating can also comprise several layers in order to achieve a depot effect, with it being possible to use the auxiliary substances which are mentioned above in the case of the tablets.
Syrups of the active compounds or active compound combinations according to the invention can additionally comprise a sweetening agent, such as saccharine, cyclamate, glycerol or sugar as well as a taste-improving agent, e.g. flavouring agents such as vanillin or orange extract. They can also comprise suspension aids or thickeners, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, wetting agents, for example condensation products of fatty alcohols and ethylene oxide, or protectants such as p-hydroxybenzoates. Injection and infusion solutions are produced in a customary manner, e.g. while adding isotonizing agents, preservatives, such as p-hydroxybenzoates, or stabilizers, such as alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, where appropriate using emulsifiers and/or dispersants, with it being possible, for example, to employ, where appropriate, organic solvents as solubilizing agents or auxiliary solvents when using water as diluent, and aliquoted into injection bottles or ampoules or infusion bottles.
The capsules, which comprise one or more active compounds or active compound combinations, can, for example, be produced by mixing the active compounds with inert carriers, such as lactose or sorbitol, and encapsulating the mixture in gelatine capsules. Suitable suppositories can be produced, for example, by mixing with excipients which are envisaged for this purpose, such as neutral fats or polyethylene glycol, or their derivatives.
Auxiliary substances which may be mentioned by way of example are water, pharmaceutically unobjectionable organic solvents, such as paraffins (e.g. petroleum fractions), oils of vegetable origin (e.g. groundnut oil or sesame oil), mono functional or polyfunctional alcohols (e.g. EtOH or glycerol), carrier substances such as natural mineral powders (e.g. kaolins, argillaceous earths, talc and chalk), synthetic mineral powders (e.g. highly disperse silicic acid and silicates), sugars (e.g. cane sugar, lactose and grape sugar), emulsifiers (e.g. lignin, sulphite waste liquors, methyl cellulose, starch and polyvinylpyrrolidone) and glidants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc, stearic acid and sodium lauryl sulphate). Administration is effected in a customary manner, preferably orally or transdermally, in particular and preferably orally. In the case of oral use, the tablets can naturally also comprise, in addition to the abovementioned carrier substances, additives such as sodium citrate, calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate together with a variety of further substances such as starch, preferably potato starch, gelatine and the like. It is furthermore also possible to use glidants, such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate and talc, for the tableting. In the case of aqueous suspensions, a variety of taste improvers or dyes can also be added to the active compounds in addition to the abovementioned auxiliary substances.
For parenteral administration, it is possible to employ solutions of the active compounds while using suitable liquid carrier materials. The dosage for intravenous administration is 1-1000 mg per h, preferably between 5 and 500 mg per h.
Despite this, it may be necessary, where appropriate, to diverge from the abovementioned quantities, depending on the body weight or the nature of the route of administration, on the individual response to the medicament, on the nature of its formulation and on the time or interval at which the administration is effected. Thus, it may, in some cases, be sufficient to make do with less than the previously mentioned lowest quantity whereas, in other cases, the abovementioned upper limit has to be exceeded. When relatively large quantities are being administered, it may be advisable to divide these into several single doses which are given over the course of the day. The following formulation examples illustrate the present invention without, however, restricting its scope:
