›FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This disclosure relates to certain tropane compounds. In particular, this disclosure relates to certain tropane compounds useful as inhibitors of HSP90.

›BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

HSP90 (heat shock protein 90) is one of the most abundant cellular proteins. There are at least four HSP90 family members in the human genome: the stress-inducible HSP90 (HSP90α or HSP90AA1), the constitutive cytosolic HSP90β (HSP90AB1), the endoplasmic reticulum-localized GRP94 (HSP90B), and the mitochondrial TRAP1 [2]. HSP90 contains approximately 730 amino acids arranged as 3 major domains: an N-terminal ATP-binding domain, a central domain and a C-terminal dimerization domain. HSP90 acts primarily as molecular chaperone, promoting the folding and stabilization of many labile cellular proteins. In general, HSP90 acts in concert with the HSP70 chaperone machinery, and also recruits multiple co-chaperone proteins to regulate its activity. Over 100 HSP90 substrates (“client proteins”) have been described in the art. HSP90 constitutes ˜1-2% of total protein in normal cells and this concentration can double under stress conditions, reflecting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.

HSP90 expression and activity is frequently upregulated in tumor cells and is particularly associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer. Furthermore, HSP90 in tumor cells appears to exist in a hyperactivated state with elevated ATPase activity which is highly sensitive to HSP90 inhibition, compared to the largely latent form found in normal cells. This hyperactivated state suggests that HSP90 inhibitors can selectively target tumor cells, with relatively low impact on normal tissues. Many HSP90 client proteins are involved in various aspects of tumor growth and progression. HSP90 promotes the folding and/or stabilization of many oncogenic proteins that confer autonomous growth on cells (eg, EGFR and ErbB2, B-Raf and steroid hormone receptors, and also regulates multiple proteins that promote tumor cell survival (eg, IGF-1 receptor, PDK1 and Akt, RIP, IκBand survivin. HSP90 can also promote aberrant cell cycle progression by stabilizing Cdk4, Cdk6 and cyclin D, Cdk2, and Plk1. Conversely, HSP90 inhibitors can downregulate the cell cycle checkpoint kinase Chk1 and sensitize tumors to various forms of chemotherapy. HSP90 inhibition can also blunt tumor angiogenesis, since hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases are HSP90 clients. The receptor tyrosine kinase Met, which stimulates cellular motility, migration and invasion, is also downregulated in response to HSP90 inhibition, both directly and via inhibition of HIF-1α. Apart from its role as a cellular chaperone, HSP90α has also been implicated in extracellular matrix degradation and tumor cell invasion, via activation (and possibly stabilization) of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP2. HSP90 depletion or inhibition promotes telomere erosion and apoptosis, and can also enable the evolution of heterogenous, metastatic and drug-resistant phenotypes by allowing propagation of metastable mutations. HSP90 has been implicated in activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR,). Failure of the UPR (for example, via inhibition of HSP90) leads to an ER stress signal and apoptosis. Therefore, HSP90 inhibitors can promote tumor cell death indirectly by disrupting the UPR, as well as by directly targeting pro-survival factors.

Accordingly, there is a need for new compounds that can inhibit HSP90.

Compounds in Tables I and II are named according to systematic application of the nomenclature rules agreed upon by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB), and the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS). Names were generated using ACD/Labs naming software 8.00 release, product version 8.08.

The activity for each of the compounds in Table I is represented by the letters A, B, C and D. These letters are listed next to each of the compounds in Table I in the same row as each of the compounds. The activity that is associated with each of these letters is defined below:

A stands for HSP90 IC 50 values less than 500 nM.

B stands for HSP90 IC 50 values ranging from 500 nM to 999 nM.

C stands for HSP90 IC 50 values ranging from 1000 nM to 1999 nM.

D stands for HSP90 IC 50 values of ranging from 2000 nM to 10,000 nM.

HSP90 expression and activity is frequently upregulated in tumor cells [5-8] and is particularly associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer [9,10]. Furthermore, HSP90 in tumor cells appears to exist in a hyperactivated state with elevated ATPase activity which is highly sensitive to HSP90 inhibition, compared to the largely latent form found in normal cells [11]. This hyperactivated state suggests that HSP90 inhibitors can selectively target tumor cells, with relatively low impact on normal tissues. Many HSP90 client proteins are involved in various aspects of tumor growth and progression [6, 7, 12, 13]. HSP90 promotes the folding and/or stabilization of many oncogenic proteins that confer autonomous growth on cells (eg, EGFR and ErbB2 [14-17], B-Raf [18,19] and steroid hormone receptors [20]) and also regulates multiple proteins that promote tumor cell survival (eg, IGF 1 receptor [21], PDK1 and Akt [22,23], RIP [24], IκB [24,25] and survivin [26]). HSP90 can also promote aberrant cell cycle progression by stabilizing Cdk4, Cdk6 and cyclin D [27], Cdk2, and Plk1 [28,29]. Conversely, HSP90 inhibitors can downregulate the cell cycle checkpoint kinase Chk1 and sensitize tumors to various forms of chemotherapy [30,31]. HSP90 inhibition can also blunt tumor angiogenesis, since hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF-1α) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinases are HSP90 clients [32]. The receptor tyrosine kinase Met, which stimulates cellular motility, migration and invasion, is also downregulated in response to HSP90 inhibition, both directly and via inhibition of HIF-1α [33,34]. Apart from its role as a cellular chaperone, HSP90α has also been implicated in extracellular matrix degradation and tumor cell invasion, via activation (and possibly stabilization) of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP2 [35, 36]. HSP90 depletion or inhibition promotes telomere erosion and apoptosis [37], and can also enable the evolution of heterogenous, metastatic and drug-resistant phenotypes by allowing propagation of metastable mutations [38,39]. HSP90 has been implicated in activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR, [40,41]). Failure of the UPR (for example, via inhibition of HSP90) leads to an ER stress signal and apoptosis. Therefore, HSP90 inhibitors can promote tumor cell death indirectly by disrupting the UPR, as well as by directly targeting pro-survival factors.

In addition to cancer, several other diseases can be amenable to treatment using HSP90 inhibitors. There is substantial data supporting a role for HSP90 inhibitors in treating neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. Other possible HSP90 non-oncology indications include inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, stroke, ischemia, cardiac disorders, sepsis, fibrogenetic disorders (for example, scleroderma, polymyositis, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, liver cirrhosis, keloid formation, interstitial nephritis, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis) and metabolic diseases.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION · 11 of 12

Several neurodegenerative diseases (“tauopathies”), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobal dementia, are characterized by accumulation of hyperphosphorylated or mutated forms of the microtubule-associated protein Tau [42]. HSP90 inhibitors can be able to degrade aberrant Tau proteins via two complementary mechanisms. First, HSP90 appears to stabilize p35 (a neuronal protein involved in aberrant Tau phosphorylation) and mutant (but not wild-type) Tau protein [43]. Second, HSP90 inhibition induces expression of HSP70, which can promote productive folding of Tau [44] and/or selective degradation of aberrant Tau proteins [45]. Moreover, HSP90 isolated from brain tissue affected by AD showed markedly higher affinity for an HSP90 inhibitor compared with HSP90 from normal brain tissue [45], concordant with a similar observation in tumor cells [11].

HSP90 expression in the host organism has been implicated in mediating both infection and replication of a broad range of viral pathogens, including negative, strand RNA viruses and influenza virus [46-48], hepatitis B [49], hepatitis C [50,51] and herpes simplex virus type 1 [52]. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of HSP90 was found to impair the replication of RNA without selecting for the emergence of drug-resistant mutants [53]. HSP90 also promotes the growth and survival of pathogenic yeast, though in this case the endogenous fungal enzyme is involved. Geldanamycin increases the susceptibility of Candida and Aspergillus species to other antibiotics [54], and an antibody directed against yeast HSP90 (Mycograb) was recently shown to significantly enhance the activity of amphotericin B in a randomized, double blind clinical study [55]. Fungal HSP90 can also help to promote drug resistance [54]. HSP90 inhibition was also recently shown to ameliorate pulmonary damage and inflammation in a mouse model of acute sepsis [56], suggesting a broader role for HSP90 inhibitors in treating infectious and inflammatory diseases.

The benzoquinone ansamycin geldanamycin was identified as an inhibitor of HSP90 [57], and several geldanamycin analogs have been evaluated as anticancer agents in clinical trials, with some evidence of activity. However, formulation and administration of these agents remains challenging. An orally available inhibitor of HSP90 would have broad utility in the treatment of a wide range of malignancies and potentially other diseases.

HSP90 inhibitors have been reported to show synergistic effects on tumor cell growth and survival when combined with various chemotherapeutics. Examples include HSP90 inhibitors in combination with proteosome inhibitors (eg bortezomib) in multiple myeloma, EGFR (eg Iressa) or PI3K (eg LY294002) inhibitors in malignant glioma, DNA damaging agents (eg etoposide or cisplatin) in leukemia and pediatric tumors, and radiation in various tumors including cervical, prostate, glioma and pancreatic. While observed synergy can be hypothesized to be due to loss of stability of specific HSP90 client proteins, it may also be due to loss of general stress buffering capacity of the cell.

Additionally, several drug-resistant mutant proteins have been shown to be dependent on HSP90 for their stabilization and activity, paving the way for in vivo proof of concept studies and clinical trial design for use of HSP90 inhibitors against certain drug-resistant tumors. Examples include imatinib-resistant c-KIT mutations in GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor), gefitinib and erlotinib-resistant EGFR (L858R/T790M) mutants in NSCL, and imatinib-resistant BCR-ABL(T3151) mutant in CML. In fact, the 17-AAG related HSP90 inhibitor IPI-504 was recently granted orphan drug status for GIST after a high rate of response was observed in Gleevec-resistant GIST patients enrolled in a Phase I trial.

Additionally, inhibition of HSP90 may be in part responsible for the anti-tumor activity of the recently FDA-approved histone deacetylase inhibitor Vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, or SAHA). HSP90 activity has been reported to be negatively regulated through direct acetylation of the chaperone, and HDAC inhibitors are shown to result in the accumulation of inactive, acetylated HSP90 protein and increased degradation of HSP90 client proteins, implicating HDAC function in the positive control of HSP90 function. Hence, the clinical mechanism of action of HDAC inhibitors alone or in combination may in certain instances be due to inhibition of HSP90 function.

HSP90 expression in the host organism has been implicated in mediating both infection and replication of a broad range of viral pathogens. The HSP90 inhibitors geldanamycin and radicicol impair the replication of negative strand RNA viruses and influenza virus by destabilizing the viral RNA polymerase, and geldanamycin can also inhibit replication of hepatitis C virus. HSP90 also directs the folding and intracellular localization of the DNA polymerase from herpes simplex virus type 1 and is required for hepatitis B reverse transcriptase activity. Pharmacological inhibition of HSP90 was found to impair the replication of RNA viruses in cell culture and infected animals, without selecting for the emergence of drug-resistant mutants. Indeed, HSP90 may be broadly implicated in the development of drug resistance in microorganisms, as discussed below.

HSP90 also promotes the growth and survival of pathogenic yeast, though in this case the endogenous fungal enzyme is involved. Geldanamycin increases the susceptibility of Candida and Aspergillus species to other antibiotics, and an antibody directed against yeast HSP90 (Mycograb) was recently shown to significantly enhance the activity of amphotericin B in a randomized, double blind clinical study. As in the case of tumor cells HSP90 may act via multiple mechanisms, but perhaps most striking is the potential for fungal HSP90 to promote drug resistance. Endogenous HSP90 may support the expression of mutant proteins that confer drug resistance, and HSP90 inhibitors appear to inhibit drug resistance under acute selection conditions, but have less effect on resistance that is acquired by more gradual selection in the presence of antibiotics. Thus, HSP90 inhibitors may have utility early in treatment of fungal infections, before resistance mutations have a chance to emerge. Intriguingly the drug resistance-inducing effects of HSP90 are mediated by calcineurin, which is also implicated in both cyclosporine A resistance and geldanamycin activity in the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum.

›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION · 12 of 12

HSP90 inhibition was also recently shown to ameliorate pulmonary damage and inflammation in a mouse model of acute sepsis, suggesting a broader role for HSP90 inhibitors in treating infectious and inflammatory diseases.

In addition to cancer, several other diseases may be amenable to treatment using HSP90 inhibitors. These include neurodegenerative disorders and infectious diseases. Several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobal dementia, are characterized by accumulation of hyperphosphorylated or mutated forms of the microtubule-associated protein Tau. These pathogenic Tau proteins form intracellular aggregates known as neurofibrillary tangles, which have been proposed to have a causative role in disease but may alternatively represent a cellular protective mechanism against the toxic, soluble form of Tau. Selective degradation of aberrant Tau proteins may therefore represent a novel therapeutic strategy. HSP90 inhibitors may achieve this degradation via two complementary mechanisms. First, HSP90 appears to stabilize p35 (a neuronal protein involved in aberrant Tau phosphorylation) and mutant (but not wild-type) Tau protein: the activity of these pathogenic proteins would therefore be reduced by HSP90 inhibition. Second, HSP90 inhibition induces expression of HSP70, which may promote productive folding of Tau and/or selective degradation of aberrant Tau proteins. Moreover, HSP90 isolated from brain tissue affected by AD showed markedly higher affinity for an HSP90 inhibitor compared with HSP90 from normal brain tissue, concordant with a similar observation in tumor cells.

›ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS · 1 of 9

The following abbreviations and terms have the indicated meanings throughout:

As used in the present specification, the following words and phrases are generally intended to have the meanings as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used indicates otherwise or they are expressly defined to mean something different.

The symbol “—” means a single bond, “═” means a double bond, “≡” means a triple bond, means a single or double bond. When a group is depicted removed from its parent formula, the symbol will be used at the end of the bond which was theoretically cleaved in order to separate the group from its parent structural formula.

When chemical structures are depicted or described, unless explicitly stated otherwise, all carbons are assumed to have hydrogen substitution to conform to a valence of four. For example, in the structure on the left-hand side of the schematic below there are nine hydrogens implied. The nine hydrogens are depicted in the right-hand structure. Sometimes a particular atom in a structure is described in textual formula as having a hydrogen or hydrogens as substitution (expressly defined hydrogen), for example, —CH 2 CH 2 —. It is understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the aforementioned descriptive techniques are common in the chemical arts to provide brevity and simplicity to description of otherwise complex structures.

If a group “R” is depicted as “floating” on a ring system, as for example in the formula:

then, unless otherwise defined, a substituent “R” can reside on any atom of the ring system, assuming replacement of a depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen from one of the ring atoms, so long as a stable structure is formed.

If a group “R” is depicted as floating on a fused ring system, as for example in the formulae:

then, unless otherwise defined, a substituent “R” can reside on any atom of the fused ring system, assuming replacement of a depicted hydrogen (for example the —NH— in the formula above), implied hydrogen (for example as in the formula above, where the hydrogens are not shown but understood to be present), or expressly defined hydrogen (for example where in the formula above, “X” equals ═CH—) from one of the ring atoms, so long as a stable structure is formed. In the example depicted, the “R” group can reside on either the 5-membered or the 6-membered ring of the fused ring system. In the formula depicted above, when y is 2 for example, then the two “R's” can reside on any two atoms of the ring system, again assuming each replaces a depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen on the ring.

When a group “R” is depicted as existing on a ring system containing saturated carbons, as for example in the formula:

where, in this example, “y” can be more than one, assuming each replaces a currently depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen on the ring; then, unless otherwise defined, where the resulting structure is stable, two “R's” can reside on the same carbon. A simple example is when R is a methyl group; there can exist a geminal dimethyl on a carbon of the depicted ring (an “annular” carbon). In another example, two R's on the same carbon, including that carbon, can form a ring, thus creating a spirocyclic ring (a “spirocyclyl” group) structure with the depicted ring as for example in the formula:

“Administration” and variants thereof (e.g., “administering” a compound) in reference to a compound of this disclosure (i.e., a compound of formula I, II or III as described herein) means introducing the compound or a prodrug of the compound into the system of the animal in need of treatment. When a compound of this disclosure or prodrug thereof is provided in combination with one or more other active agents (e.g., surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, etc.), “administration” and its variants are each understood to include concurrent and sequential introduction of the compound or prodrug thereof and other agents.

“Alkyl” is intended to include molecules having 1-12 carbons in size (C—C 12 )alkyl, which can be straight chained or branched. For example, alkyl can refer to an n-hexyl, iso-hexyl, cyclobutylethyl, and the like. Alkyl is intended to include lower alkyl groups of from 1-6 carbons in size, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, s-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl and the like. An alkyl residue having a specific number of carbons is named, all geometric isomers having that number of carbons are intended to be encompassed; thus, for example, either “butyl” or “C 4 alkyl” is meant to include n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl; and for example, “propyl” or “C 3 alkyl” each include n-propyl and isopropyl.

—(C 1 -C 6 )alkyl is a subset of alkyl groups that are from one to six carbon atoms in length, and can be straight chained or branched.

—(C 1 -C 3 )alkyl is a subset of alkyl groups that are from one to three carbon atoms in length, and can be straight chained or branched.

“Cycloalkyl” means a non-aromatic mono- or multicyclic ring system comprising about 3 to about 14 carbon atoms, including 5 to 10 carbon atoms, or 5 to 7 carbon ring atoms. Non-limiting examples of monocyclic cycloalkyls include cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and the like. Non-limiting examples of multicyclic cycloalkyls include 1-decalin, norbornyl, adamantyl and the like. Cycloalkyls can be fused or bridge ring systems or spirocyclic systems.

“Cycloalkylalkyl” means a “cycloalkyl” group, as defined herein, attached to an “alkyl” group, as defined herein, wherein the alkyl group is attached to the parent moiety.

“Alkyl substituted with one or more halo and hydroxy” means an alkyl group substituted with 1, 2, or 3 hydroxy or 1, 2 or 3 halo.

“Alkylene” refers to straight or branched chain divalent group consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms, containing no unsaturation and having from one to ten carbon atoms, for example, methylene, ethylene, propylene, n-butylene and the like. Alkylene is a subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as alkyl, but having two points of attachment and, specifically, fully saturated. Examples of alkylene include ethylene (—CH 2 CH 2 —), propylene (—CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 —), dimethylpropylene (—CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 —), and cyclohexylpropylene (—CH 2 CH 2 CH(C 6 H 13 )).

›ABBREVIATIONS AND DEFINITIONS · 2 of 9

“Alkenylene” refers to a straight or branched chain unsaturated divalent group consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms, having from two to ten carbon atoms. Alkenylene is a subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as alkyl, but having two points of attachment and, specifically, double bond unsaturation. The unsaturation present includes at least one double bond.

“Alkynylene” refers to a straight or branched chain unsaturated divalent group consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms having from two to ten carbon atoms, for example, propylid-2-ynyl, n-butylid-1-ynyl, and the like. Alkylidyne is a subset of alkyl, referring to the same residues as alkyl, but having two points of attachment and, specifically, triple bond unsaturation. The unsaturation present includes at least one triple bond.

Any of the above groups, “alkylene,” “alkenylene” and “alkynylene,” when optionally substituted, can contain alkyl substitution which itself contains unsaturation. For example, 2-(2-phenylethynyl-but-3-enyl)-naphthalene (IUPAC name) contains an n-butylid-3-ynyl group with a vinyl substituent at the 2-position of said group.

“Alkoxy” or “alkoxyl” both refer to the group —O-alkyl, wherein the term “alkyl” is as defined hereinabove. Examples include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, and the like.

“Aryl” means a monovalent six- to fourteen-membered mono- or multicyclic ring, wherein the monocyclic ring is aromatic and at least one of the rings in the multicyclic ring is aromatic. A multicyclic ring that contains only one aryl ring is intended to be included within the definition of aryl. An aryl can also be six- to ten membered, or six membered. Representative non-limiting examples of aryl include phenyl, naphthyl, and the like.

The phrases “the compounds in this disclosure,” the compounds in the disclosure, the compounds disclosed herein, compounds of this disclosure, and similar phrases that contain both of the words “compounds” and “disclosure” are meant to mean compounds of Formula I, II or III, and all of the embodiments for each of these three compounds.

In the case where there is a point of attachment for a monovalent substituent, such as —CH 3 , —NH 2 , or —OH, the indication of where the point of attachment is not necessary. That is, —CH 3 has the same meaning as CH 3 , —NH 2 has the same meaning as NH 2 , and —OH has the same meaning as OH.

In Tables 1 and II, where there appears to be an empty valence for oxygen or nitrogen for any of the compounds listed in this table, where the name of the structure requires that the empty valence is filled with hydrogen, it is assumed that the missing valence is filled with hydrogen for each of these cases.

When a group is referred to as “—(C 1 -C 6 )alkyl heterocyclyl” the heterocyclyl is attached to a parent structure via an alkyl group.

“Hydroxyalkyl” means -alkyl-OH, wherein alkyl is as defined hereinabove.

“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or can not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that with respect to any molecule described as containing one or more optional substituents, only sterically practical and/or synthetically feasible compounds are meant to be included. “Optionally substituted” refers to all subsequent modifiers in a term. So, for example, in the term “optionally substituted arylalkyl,” both the “alkyl” portion and the “aryl” portion of the molecule can or can not be substituted.

Unless otherwise specified, the term “optionally substituted” applies to the chemical moiety immediately preceding it. For instance, if a variable group (such as R) is defined as aryl, optionally substituted alkyl, or cycloalkyl, then only the alkyl group is optionally substituted.

“Saturated bridged ring system” refers to a bicyclic or polycyclic ring system that is not aromatic. Such a system can contain isolated or conjugated unsaturation, but not aromatic or heteroaromatic rings in its core structure (but can have aromatic substitution thereon). For example, hexahydro-furo[3,2-b]furan, 2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-indene, 7-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]-heptane, and 1,2,3,4,4a,5,8,8a-octahydro-naphthalene are all included in the class “saturated bridged ring system.

“Spirocyclyl” or “spirocyclic ring” refers to a ring originating from a particular annular carbon of another ring. For example, as depicted below, a ring atom of a saturated bridged ring system (rings B and B′), but not a bridgehead atom, can be a shared atom between the saturated bridged ring system and a spirocyclyl (ring A) attached thereto. A spirocyclyl can be carbocyclic or heteroalicyclic.

Some of the compounds of the disclosure can have imino, amino, oxo or hydroxy substituents off aromatic heterocyclyl systems. For purposes of this disclosure, it is understood that such imino, amino, oxo or hydroxy substituents can exist in their corresponding tautomeric form, i.e., amino, imino, hydroxy or oxo, respectively.

“Animal” for the purposes of this disclosure includes humans (including patients receiving treatment) and other animals, particularly mammals, and other organisms.

While not wishing to be bound to theory, phosphatases can also play a role in “kinase-dependent diseases or conditions” as cognates of kinases; that is, kinases phosphorylate and phosphatases dephosphorylate, for example protein substrates. Therefore compounds of this disclosure, while modulating kinase activity as described herein, can also modulate, either directly or indirectly, phosphatase activity. This additional modulation, if present, can be synergistic (or not) to activity of compounds of this disclosure toward a related or otherwise interdependent kinase or kinase family.

“Treating” or “treatment” of a disease, disorder, or syndrome, as used herein, includes (i) preventing the disease, disorder, or syndrome from occurring in a human, i.e. causing the clinical symptoms of the disease, disorder, or syndrome not to develop in an animal that can be exposed to or predisposed to the disease, disorder, or syndrome but does not yet experience or display symptoms of the disease, disorder, or syndrome; (ii) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or syndrome, i.e., arresting its development; and (iii) relieving the disease, disorder, or syndrome, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, or syndrome. As is known in the art, adjustments for systemic versus localized delivery, age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, drug interaction and the severity of the condition can be necessary, and will be ascertainable with routine experimentation by one of ordinary skill in the art.

One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that certain crystallized, protein-ligand complexes, in particular HSP90-ligand complexes, and their corresponding x-ray structure coordinates can be used to reveal new structural information useful for understanding the biological activity of kinases as described herein. As well, the key structural features of the aforementioned proteins, particularly, the shape of the ligand binding site, are useful in methods for designing or identifying selective modulators of kinases and in solving the structures of other proteins with similar features. Such protein-ligand complexes, having compounds of this disclosure as their ligand component, are an aspect of this disclosure.

As well, one of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that such suitable x-ray quality crystals can be used as part of a method of identifying a candidate agent capable of binding to and modulating the activity of kinases. Such methods can be characterized by the following aspects: a) introducing into a suitable computer program, information defining a ligand binding domain of a kinase in a conformation (e.g. as defined by x-ray structure coordinates obtained from suitable x-ray quality crystals as described above) wherein the computer program creates a model of the three dimensional structures of the ligand binding domain, b) introducing a model of the three dimensional structure of a candidate agent in the computer program, c) superimposing the model of the candidate agent on the model of the ligand binding domain, and d) assessing whether the candidate agent model fits spatially into the ligand binding domain.

Additionally, one skilled in the art would appreciate that such methods can further entail: employing a candidate agent, so-determined to fit spatially into the ligand binding domain, in a biological activity assay for kinase modulation, and determining whether said candidate agent modulates kinase activity in the assay. Such methods can also include administering the candidate agent, determined to modulate kinase activity, to a mammal suffering from a condition treatable by kinase modulation, such as those described above.

Also, one skilled in the art would appreciate that compounds disclosed herein can be used in a method of evaluating the ability of a test agent to associate with a molecule or molecular complex comprising a ligand binding domain of a kinase. Such a method can be characterized by the following aspects: a) creating a computer model of a kinase binding pocket using structure coordinates obtained from suitable x-ray quality crystals of the kinase, b) employing computational algorithms to perform a fitting operation between the test agent and the computer model of the binding pocket, and c) analyzing the results of the fitting operation to quantify the association between the test agent and the computer model of the binding pocket.

The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administration, formulations in the form of tablets, pills or capsules are preferred) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crosslinked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat.

Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Ed., (Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1990). The composition to be administered will, in any event, contain a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for treatment of a disease-state in accordance with the teachings of this disclosure.

The compounds of this disclosure, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are administered in a therapeutically effective amount which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of the compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular disease-states, and the host undergoing therapy. The compounds of this disclosure can be administered to a patient at dosage levels in the range of about 0.1 to about 1,000 mg per day. For a normal human adult having a body weight of about 70 kilograms, a dosage in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day is an example. The specific dosage used, however, can vary. For example, the dosage can depend on a number of factors including the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the pharmacological activity of the compound being used. The determination of optimum dosages for a particular patient is well known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The compositions will include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a compound of this disclosure as the/an active agent, and, in addition, can include other medicinal agents and pharmaceutical agents. Compositions of the compounds in this disclosure can be used in combination with anticancer and/or other agents that are generally administered to a patient being treated for cancer, e.g. surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapeutic agent(s). Chemotherapeutic agents that can be useful for administration in combination with compounds of Formula I in treating cancer include alkylating agents, platinum containing agents.

If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this disclosure within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent(s) within its approved dosage range. Compounds of this disclosure can alternatively be used sequentially with known pharmaceutically acceptable agent(s) when a combination formulation is inappropriate.

Representative pharmaceutical formulations containing the compounds disclosed herein are described below.

Synthetic Procedures

The compounds disclosed herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, can have asymmetric carbon atoms, oxidized sulfur atoms or quaternized nitrogen atoms in their structure.

The compounds disclosed herein and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can exist as single stereoisomers, racemates, and as mixtures of enantiomers and diastereomers. The compounds disclosed herein can also exist as geometric isomers. All such single stereoisomers, racemates and mixtures thereof, and geometric isomers are intended to be within the scope of the compounds disclosed herein.

It is assumed that when considering generic descriptions of compounds of the disclosed herein for the purpose of constructing a compound, such construction results in the creation of a stable structure. That is, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that theoretically some constructs which would not normally be considered as stable compounds (that is, sterically practical and/or synthetically feasible, supra).

Methods for the preparation and/or separation and isolation of single stereoisomers from racemic mixtures or non-racemic mixtures of stereoisomers are well known in the art. For example, optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. Enantiomers (R- and S-isomers) can be resolved by methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, for example by: formation of diastereoisomeric salts or complexes which can be separated, for example, by crystallization; via formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives which can be separated, for example, by crystallization, selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic oxidation or reduction, followed by separation of the modified and unmodified enantiomers; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support, such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where a desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step can be required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific enantiomer can be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents or by converting on enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation. For a mixture of enantiomers, enriched in a particular enantiomer, the major component enantiomer can be further enriched (with concomitant loss in yield) by recrystallization.

In addition, the compounds of this disclosure can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the compounds of this disclosure.

In addition, it is intended that the present disclosure cover compounds made either using standard organic synthetic techniques, including combinatorial chemistry or by biological methods, such as bacterial digestion, metabolism, enzymatic conversion, and the like.

The examples and scheme below depict the general synthetic procedure for the compounds disclosed herein. Synthesis of the compounds disclosed herein is not limited by these examples and schemes. One skilled in the art will know that other procedures can be used to synthesize the compounds disclosed herein, and that the procedures described in the examples and schemes is only one such procedure. In the descriptions below, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that specific reaction conditions, added reagents, solvents, and reaction temperatures can be modified for the synthesis of specific compounds that fall within the scope of this disclosure.

Scheme 1 describes the synthesis of all of the compound(s) listed in Example 1 wherein R 1 and R 3 are as defined in the specification.

In Scheme 1, compound (B) is added to compound (A) under appropriate reaction conditions to undergo an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction to arrive at compound (C). Compound (C) is then deprotected under acidic conditions, such as HCl, to remove BOC and arrive at compound (D). To compound (D), R 1 COOH is added under appropriate reaction conditions and with a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU, to condense and form the amide bond in compound (E). The carboxylate of compound (E) is then hydrolyzed under basic conditions to yield the carboxylic acid of compound (F). R 3 NH 2 is then added to compound F under appropriate reaction conditions and with a suitable coupling reagent, such as HATU, to condense and form the amide bond in compound (G).

STEP 1: A solution of 2,5-Dimethylbenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (1.14 g, 5.86 mmol), 2-(7-aza-1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (2.23 g, 5.86 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (4.7 mL, 27 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then ethyl 6-(3-endo-amino-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylate hydrochloride (prepared in example 1) (1.66 g, 5.32 mmol) was added and the resultant solution was stirred at 50° C. for 12 hours. On cooling to room temperature, the solution was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was split into two portions and both portions were taken up in 10 mL N,N-dimethylformamide, and 2-(7-aza-1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (1.11 g, 2.93 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2.3 mL, 13 mmol) were added to each. The solutions were warmed to 50° C. and ammonia (gas) was bubbled through the solutions for 20 minutes. The solutions were combined, then the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude material was partitioned between water and 10% methanol in dichloromethane. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted (2×100 mL dichloromethane). The combined organic layers were dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and concentrated. The crude solid was triturated with methanol/hexanes/ethyl acetate and the solid collected by filtration to give ethyl 6-[3-endo-({[4-(aminocarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylphenyl]carbonyl}amino)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]pyridine-3-carboxylate (1.79 g, 75% yield). 1 H NMR (400 MHz, d 6 -DMSO): 8.58 (d, 1H), 8.28 (d, 1H), 8.01 (dd, 1H), 7.70 (br s, 1H), 7.40 (br s, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.13 (s, 1H), 6.93 (d, 1H), 4.64 (broad s, 2H), 4.27 (q, 2H), 3.88 (m, 1H), 2.32 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 2.24 (m, 2H), 2.13 (m, 2H), 2.01 (m, 2H), 1.93 (d, 2H), 1.30 (t, 3H).

STEP 2: To a solution of ethyl 6-[3-endo-({[4-(aminocarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylphenyl]carbonyl}amino)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]pyridine-3-carboxylate (1.00 g, 2.21 mmol) in methanol (6.0 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (6.0 mL) was added 3.0 mL of 2.0 M lithium hydroxide (aqueous) and the resultant solution was warmed to 50° C. for one hour. The organic solvents were removed in vacuo, and the remaining aqueous solution was brought to pH 2 using concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid. The solid thus formed was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo to give 1.18 g (70% yield) of the desired 6-[3-endo-({[4-(aminocarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylphenyl]carbonyl}amino)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, which was used without further purification in step 3.

STEP 3: A solution of 6-[3-endo-({[4-(aminocarbonyl)-2,5-dimethylphenyl]carbonyl}amino)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-8-yl]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (0.050 g, 0.12 mmol), (3R)-1-(1-methylethyl)pyrrolidin-3-amine hydrochloride (synthesized in reagent preparation 9) (0.14 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.019 g, 0.14 mmol), 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (0.027 g, 0.14 mmol), and 4-methylmorpholine (0.05 mL, 0.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The solution was then diluted with water and purified by HPLC (reverse-phase, acetonitrile/water with 0.1% ammonium acetate). Concentration in vacuo and lyophilization from water gave 0.034 g (54% yield) of the desired 2,5-dimethyl-N-{8-[5-({[(3R)-1-(1-methylethyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]amino}carbonyl)pyridin-2-yl]-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-endo-yl}benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide as the acetate salt. 1 H NMR (400 MHz, d 6 -DMSO): 8.61 (d, 1H), 8.22 (dd, 1H), 7.98 (dd, 1H), 7.70 (broad s, 1H), 7.40 (broad s, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 7.12 (s, 1H), 6.74 (d, 1H), 4.55 (broad s, 2H), 4.35 (m, 1H), 3.84 (m, 1H), 2.81 (t, 1H), 2.67 (t, 1H), 2.44 (m, 1H), 2.34 (s, 3H), 2.30 (s, 3H), 2.19 (m, 2H), 2.10 (m, 4H), 1.98 (m, 2H), 1.91 (s, 3H), 1.83 (m, 2H), 1.73 (m, 2H), 1.02 (t, 6H).
