C C eeee 5845c Intermediates for the preparation of 4-(substituted phenylamino)quinazoline derivatives Background of the Invention This invention relates to 4-(substitutedphenylamino)quinazoline derivatives which are useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancers, in mammals.

Many of the current treatment regimes for cancer utilize compounds which inhibit DNA synthesis. Such compounds are toxic to cells generally but their toxic effect on the rapidly dividing tumor cells can be beneficial. Altemative approaches to anticancer agents which act by mechanisms other than the inhibition of DNA synthesis have been explored in order to enhance the selectivity of action against cancer cells.

It is known that a cell may become cancerous by virtue of the transformation of a portion of its DNA into an oncogene a gene which, on activation, leads to the formation of malignant tumor cells). Many oncogenes encode proteins which are aberrant tyrosine kinases capable of causing cell transformation. Alternatively, the overexpression of a normal proto-oncogenic tyrosine kinase may also result in proliferative disorders, sometimes resulting in a malignant phenotype.

Receptor tyrosine kinases are large enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular binding domain for growth factors such as epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion which functions as a kinase to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residues in proteins and hence to influence cell proliferation. It is known that such kinases are frequently aberrantly expressed in common human cancers such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer such as colon, rectal or stomach cancer, leukemia, and ovarian, bronchial or pancreatic cancer. It has also been shown that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) which possesses S tyrosine kinase activity is mutated and/or overexpressed in many human cancers such as brain, lung, squamous cell, bladder, gastric, breast, head and neck, oesophageal, gynecological and thyroid tumors.

Accordingly, it has been recognized that inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases are useful as a selective inhibitors of the growth of mammalian cancer cells. For example, erbstatin, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor selectively attenuates the growth in athymic nude mice of a transplanted human mammary carcinoma which expresses epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) but is without effect on the growth of another carcinoma which does not express the EGF receptor.

Various other compounds, such as styrene derivatives, have also been shown to possess tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. More recently five European patent publications, namely EP 0 566 226 Al, EP 0 602 851 Al, EP 0 635 507 Al, EP 0 635 498 Al and EP 0 520 722 Al have disclosed that certain quinazoline derivatives possess anti-cancer properties which result from their tyrosine kinase inhibitory properties. Also PCT publication WO 92/20642 discloses bis-mono and bicyclic aryl and heteroaryl compounds as tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Although the anti-cancer compounds described above make a significant contribution to the art there is a continuing search in this field of art for improved anticancer pharmaceuticals.

L -11- SCHEME (continued) 3 (R ,j- HC~ (R')m x 2 Detailed Description of the Invention The Formula I compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof (hereafter the active compounds) may be prepared by any process known to be applicable to the preparation of chemically-related compounds.

In general the active compounds may be made from the appropriately substituted quinazoline using the appropriately substituted amine.

As shown in the Scheme the appropriate 4-substituted quinazoline 2 wherein X is a suitable displaceable leaving group such as halo, aryloxy, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl such as trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy, arylsulfinyl, arylsulfonyl, siloxy, cyano, pyrazolo, triazolo or tetrazolo, preferably a 4-chloroquinazoline, is reacted with the appropriate amine or amine hydrochloride 4 or 5, wherein R 4 is as described above and Y is Br, I, or trifluoromethane-sulfonyloxy in a solvent such as a (C,-C,)alcohol, dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, chloroform, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1-4 dioxane, pyridine or other aprotic solvent. The reaction may be effected in the presence of a base, preferably an alkali or alkaline earth metal carbonate or hydroxide or a tertiary amine base, such as pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, collidine, N-methyl-morpholine, triethylamine, 4-dimethylamino-pyridine or N,N-dimethylaniline.

These bases are hereinafter refered to as suitable bases. The reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature from about ambient to about the reflux temperature of the solvent, preferably from about 350C to about reflux, until substantially no remaining 4haloquinazoline can be detected, typically about 2 to about 24 hours. Preferably, the reaction is performed under an inert atmosphere such as dry nitrogen.

Generally the reactants are combined stoichiometrically. When an amine base S. is used for those compounds where a salt (typically the HCI salt) of an amine 4 or 5 is used, it is preferable to use excess amine base, generally an extra equivalent of amine base. (Alternatively, if an amine base is not used an excess of the amine 4 or 5 may be used).

For those compounds where a sterically hindered amine 4 (such as a 2-alkyl-3ethynylaniline) or very reactive 4-haloquinazoline is used it is preferable to use t-butyl 30 alcohol or a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF or N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one as the solvent.

Alternatively, a 4-substituted quinazoline 2 wherein X is hydroxyl or oxo (and the 2- nitrogen is hydrogenated) is reacted with carbon tetrachloride and an optionally -13substituted triarylphosphine which is optionally supported on an inert polymer (e.g.

triphenylphosphine, polymer supported, Aldrich Cat. No. 36,645-5, which is a 2% divinylbenzene cross-linked polystyrene containing 3 mmol phosphorous per gram resin) in a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, dichloroethane, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile or other aprotic solvent or mixtures thereof. The reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature from about ambient to reflux, preferably from about 350C to reflux, for 2 to 24 hours. This mixture is reacted with the appropriate amine or amine hydrochloride 4 or 5 either directly or after removal of solvent, for example by vacuum evaporation, and addition of a suitable altemative solvent such as a (C 1 -Ce) alcohol, DMF, N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, pyridine or 14 dioxane. Then, the reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature from about ambient to the reflux temperature of the solvent preferably from about 35 C to about reflux, until substantially complete formation of product is acheived, typically from about 2 to about 24 hours.

Preferably the reaction is performed under an inert atmosphere such as dry nitrogen.

When compound 4, wherein Y is Br, I, or trifluoromethanesuffonyloxy, is used as starting material in the reaction with quinazoline 2, a compound of formula 3 is formed wherein R 1

R

2

R

3 and Y are as described above. Compound 3 is converted to compounds of formula 1 wherein R' is R"ethynyl, and R 11 is as defined above, by reaction with a suitable palladium reagent such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium or bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride in the presence of a suitable Lewis acid such as cuprous chloride and a suitable alkyne such as trimethylsilylacetylene propargyl alcohol or 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)-propyne in a solvent such as diethylamine i *or triethylamine. Compounds 3, wherein Y is NH may be converted to compounds 1 wherein R 4 is azide by treatment of compound 3 with a diazotizing agent, such asan acid and a nitrite acetic acid and NaNO 2 followed by treatment of the resulting product with an azide, such as NaN 3 For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein an R' is an amino or hydroxyamino group the reduction of the corresponding Formula I compound wherein R' is nitro is employed.

30 The reduction may conveniently be carried out by any of the many procedures known for such transformations. The reduction may be carried out, for example, by **hydrogenation of the nitro compound in a reaction-inert solvent in the presence of a suitable metal catalyst such as palladium, platinum or nickel. A further suitable -14reducing agent is, for example, an activated metal such as activated iron (produced by washing iron powder with a dilute solution of an acid such as hydrochloric acid). Thus, for example, the reduction may be carried out by heating a mixture of the nitro compound and the activated metal with concentrated hydrochloric acid in a solvent such as a mixture of water and an alcohol, for example, methanol or ethanol, to a temperature in the range, for example, 50 to 1500C, conveniently at or near 700C.

Another suitable class of reducing agents are the alkali metal dithionites, such as sodium dithionite, which may be used in (Cl-C 4 )alkanoic acids, (C,-C,)alkanols, water or mixtures thereof.

For the production of those compounds of Formula I wherein R 2 or R 3 incorporates a primary or secondary amino moiety (other than the amino group intended to react with the quinazoline), such free amino group is preferably protected prior to the above described reaction followed by deprotection, subsequent to the above described reaction with 4-(substituted)quinazoline 2.

Several well known nitrogen protecting groups can be used. Such groups include (C,-Ce)alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, aryloxycarbonyl, trityl, vinyloxycarbonyl, O-nitrophenylsulfonyl, diphenylphosphinyl, ptoluenesulfonyl, and benzyl. The addition of the nitrogen protecting group may be carried out in a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent such as methylene chloride or 1,2dichloroethane, or an ethereal solvent such as glyme, diglyme or THF, in the presence or absence of a tertiary amine base such as triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine or pyridine, preferably triethylamine, at a temperature from about OOC to about 500C, e preferably about ambient temperature. Alternatively, the protecting groups are conveniently attached using Schotten-Baumann conditions.

Subsequent to the above described coupling reaction, of compounds 2 and the protecting group may be removed by deprotecting methods known to those skilled in the art such as treatment with trifluoroacetic acid in methylene chloride for the tertbutoxycarbonyl protected products.

For a description of protecting groups and their use, see T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" Second Ed., John Wiley Sons, New York, 1991.

For the production of compounds of Formula I wherein R' or R 2 is hydroxy, cleavage of a Formula I compound wherein R' or R 2 is (C,-C)alkoxy is preferred.

The cleavage reaction may conveniently be carried out by any of the many procedures known for such a transformation. Treatment of the protected formula I derivative with molten pyridine hydrochloride (20-30 eq.) at 150 to 175 0 C may be employed for O-dealkylations. Alternatively, the cleavage reaction may be carried out, for example, by treatment of the protected quinazoline derivative with an alkali metal

(C,-C

4 )alkylsulphide, such as sodium ethanethiolate or by treatment with an alkali metal diarylphosphide such as lithium diphenylphosphide. The cleavage reaction may also, conveniently, be carried out by treatment of the protected quinazoline derivative with a boron or aluminum trihalide such as boron tribromide. Such reactions are preferably carried out in the presence of a reaction-inert solvent at a suitable temperature.

Compounds of formula I, wherein R 1 or R 2 is a (C,-C 4 )alkylsulphinyl or

C

4 )alkylsulphonyl group are preferably prepared by oxidation of a formula I compound wherein R 1 or R 2 is a (Ci-C 4 )alkylsulfanyl group. Suitable oxidizing agents are known in the art for the oxidation of sulfanyl to sulphinyl and/or sulphonyl, e. hydrogen peroxide, a peracid (such as 3-chloroperoxybenzoic or peroxyacetic acid), an alkali metal peroxysulphate (such as potassium peroxymonosulphate), chromium trioxide or gaseous oxygen in the presence of platinum. The oxidation is generally carried out under as mild conditions as possible using the stoichiometric amount of oxidizing agent in order to reduce the risk of over oxidation and damage to other functional groups.

In general, the reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, acetone, tetrahydrofuran or tert-butyl methyl ether and at a temperature from about -25 to 50°C, preferably at or near ambient temperature, i. in the range of 15 to 350C. When a compound carrying a sulphinyl group is desired a milder oxidizing agents should be used such as sodium or potassium metaperiodate, 25 conveniently in a polar solvent such as acetic acid or ethanol. The compounds of formula I containing a (C,-C 4 )alkylsulphonyl group may be obtained by oxidation of the corresponding (C,-C)alkylsulphinyl compound as well as of the corresponding C4)alkylsulfanyl compound.

The activation and coupling of formula I compounds wherein R' is carboxy may be performed by a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. Suitable methods include activation of the carboxyl as an acid halide, azide, symmetric or mixed anhydride, or active ester of appropriate reactivity for coupling with the desired amine.

Examples of such types of intermediates and their production and use in couplings with amines may be found extensively in the literature; for example M. Bodansky and A.

Bodansky, "The Practice of Peptide Synthesis', Springer,-Verlag, New York, 1984. The resulting formula I compounds may be isolated and purified by standard methods, such as solvent removal and recrystallization or chromatography.

The starting materials for the above described reaction schemes amines, quinazolines and amine protecting groups) are readily available or can be easily synthesized by those skilled in the art using conventional methods of organic synthesis.

For example, the preparation of 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives are described in R. C. Elderfield, W.H. Todd, S. Gerber, Ch. 12 in 'Heterocyclic Compounds', Vol. 6, R. C. Elderfield ed., John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1957. Substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzothiazinyl compounds are described by R.C. Elderfield and E.E. Harris in Ch. 13 of Volume 6 of the Elderfield 'Heterocyclic Compounds" book.

Certain Formula I quinazolines can exist in solvated, as well as unsolvated forms, such as the hydrated forms. It is to be understood that the invention encompasses all such solvated, as well as unsolvated forms, which possess activity against hyperproliferative diseases.

A suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable salt of a compound of formula I is, for example, an acid-addition salt of a corresponding compound which is sufficiently basic, an acid-addition salt with, for example, an inorganic or organic acid such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, phosphoric, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, trifluoroacetic, citric, lactic or maleic acid. A suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable base- 25 addition salt of a compound of formula I which is acidic is an alkali metal salt, for example, a lithium, sodium or potassium salt; an alkaline earth metal salt, for example, '6 a calcium or magnesium salt; an ammonium salt; or a salt with an organic base which affords a physiologically-acceptable cation for example a salt with methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, piperidine, morpholine or tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.

30 All such salts are within the scope of this invention and they can be prepared by conventional methods. For example, they can be prepared simply by contacting the acidic and basic entities, usually in a stoichiometric ratio, in either an aqueous, nonaqueous or partially aqueous medium, as appropriate. The salts are recovered by filtration; by precipitation with a non-solvent, preferably an etheral or hydrocarbon solvent, followed by filtration and by evaporation of a solvent, or, in the case of aqueous solutions, by lyophilization.

Some of the compounds of Formula I have asymmetric carbon atoms. Such diasteromeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known per se., for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixtures into a diastereomric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound alcohol), separating the diastereomers and converting hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. All such isomers, including diastereomers mixtures and pure enantiomers are considered as part of the invention.

The active compounds of this invention are potent inhibitors of the erbB family of oncogenic and protooncogenic protein tyrosine kinases such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), erbB2, HER3, or HER4 and thus are all adapted to therapeutic use as antiproliferative agents anticancer) in mammals, particularly humans. In particular, the compounds of this invention are therapeutants or prophylactics for the treatment of a variety of human tumors (renal, liver, kidney, bladder, breast, gastric, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, lung, vulval, thyroid, hepatic carcinomas, 20 sarcomas, glioblastomas, various head and neck tumors), and other hyperplastic conditions such as benign hyperplasia of the skin psoriasis) or prostate BPH). It is, in addition, expected that a quinazoline of the present invention may possess activity against a range of leukemias and lymphoid malignancies.

The active compounds may also be expected to be useful in the treatment of additional disorders in which aberrant expression ligand/receptor interactions, activation oo or signalling events related to various protein tyrosine kinases, whose activity is inhibited by the agents of Formula I, are involved.

uch disorders may include those of neuronal, glial, astrocytal, hypothalamic, and other glandular, macrophagal, epithelial, stromal, and blastocoelic nature in which aberrant function, expression, activation or signalling of the erbB tyrosine kinases may be involved. In addition, compounds of Formula I may have therapeutic utility in S*inflammatory, angiogenic and immunologic disorders involving both identified and as S0 yet unidentified tyrosine kinases which are inhibited by compounds of Formula I.

The in vitro activity of the active compounds in inhibiting the receptor tyrosine kinase (and thus subsequent proliferative response, cancer) may be determined by the procedure detailed below.

Activity of the active compunds, in vitro, can be determined by the amount of inhibition of the phosphorylation of an exogenous substrate Lys 3 Gastrin or polyGluTyr random copolymer Posner et. al., J. Biol. Chem. 267 2063847 (1992)) on tyrosine by epidermal growth factor receptor kinase by a test compound relative to a control. Affinity purified, soluble human EGF receptor (96 ng) is obtained according to the procedure in G. N. Gill, W. Weber, Methods in Enzymoloy 46, 82-88 (1987) from A431 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD) and preincubated in a microfuge tube with EGF (2pg/ml) in phosphorylation buffer vanadate (PBV: 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.4; 125 mM NaCI; 24 mM MgCI,; 100pM sodium orthovanadate), in a total volume of 10 1p, for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. The test compound, dissolved in dimethylsuffoxide (DMSO), is diluted in PBV, and 10 p/ is mixed with the EGF receptor /EGF mix, and incubated for 10-30 minutes at 300C. The phosphorylation reaction is initiated by addition of 20 Ap "P-ATP/ substrate mix (120 pM Lys 3 -Gastrin (sequence in single letter code for amino acids, KKKGPWLEEEEEAYGWLDF), 50 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 40 pM ATP, 2 pCi y-[ 33 P]-ATP) to the EGFr/EGF mix and incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. The reaction is stopped by addition of 10 p1 stop solution (0.5 M EDTA, pH 8; 2mM ATP) and 6 p1 2N HCI. The tubes are centrifuged at 14,000 RPM, 40C, for 10 minutes. 35 pl of superatant from each tube is pipetted onto a 2.5 cm circle of Whatman P81 paper, bulk washed four times in 5% acetic acid, 1 liter per wash, and then air dried. This *o results in the binding of substrate to the paper with loss of free ATP on washing. The 33 P] incorporated is measured by liquid scintillation counting. Incorporation in the Sabsence of substrate lys,-gastrin) is subtracted from all values as a background and percent inhibition is calculated relative to controls without test compound present.

Such assays, carried out with a range of doses of test compounds, allow the determination of an approximate ICso value for the in vitro inhibition of EGFR kinase activity. Although the inhibitory properties of the compounds of Formula I vary with structural change as expected, the activity generally exhibited by these agents, S. determined in the manner described above, is in the range of ICso=0.0001-30 pM.

*o oo Activity of the active compounds, in vivo, can be determined by the amount of inhibition of tumor growth by a test compound relative to a control. The tumor growth inhibitory effects of various compounds are measured according to the methods of Corbett T. et al. "Tumor Induction Relationships in Development of Transplantable Cancers of the Colon in Mice for Chemotherapy Assays, with a Note on Carcinogen Structure', Cancer Res., 35, 2434-2439 (1975) and Corbett, T. et al., 'A Mouse Colon-tumor Model for Experimental Therapy", Cancer Chemother. Rep. (Part 169-186 (1975), with slight modifications. Tumors are induced in the left flank by s.c.

injection of 1 X 106 log phase cultured tumor cells (human MDA-MB-468 breast or human HN5 head and neck carcinoma cells) suspended in 0.10 ml RPMI 1640. After sufficient time has elapsed for the tumors to become palpable (2-3 mm in diameter) the test animals (athymic mice) are treated with active compound (formulated by dissolution in DMSO typically at a concentration of 50 to 100 mg/mL followed by 1:9 dilution into saline or, alternatively, 1:9 dilution into 0.1% Pluronic' P105 in 0.9% saline) by the intraperitoneal (ip) or oral (po) routes of administration twice daily every 12 hours) for 5 consecutive days. In order to determine an anti-tumor effect, the tumor is measured in millimeters with Vernier calipers across two diameters and the tumor size (mg) is calculated using the formula: Tumor weight (length x [width] 2 according to the methods of Geran, et al. "Protocols for Screening Chemical Agents and 20 Natural Products Against Animal Tumors and Other Biological Systems', Third Edition, Cancer Chemother. Rep., 3, 1-104 (1972). Results are expressed as percent inhibition, according to the formula: Inhibition TuW,.J/TuW., x 100%. The flank site of tumor implantation provides reproducible dose/response effects for a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, and the method of measurement (tumor diameter) is a reliable method for assessing tumor growth rates.

*Administration of the active compounds can be effected by any method which enables delivery of the compounds to the site of action cancer cells). These methods include oral routes, intraduodenal routes, parenteral injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravascular or infusion), topical S' 30 administration, etc.

S.The amount of active compound administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the severity of the affliction, on the manner of administration and on the judgement of the prescribing physician. However an effective dosage is in the range of approximately 0.001-100 mg/kg, preferably 1 to 35 mg/kg in single or divided doses. For an average 70kg human, this would amount to 0.05 to 7 g/day, preferably 0.2 to 2.5 g/day.

The composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule, pill, powder, sustained release formulations, solution, suspension, for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion, for topical administration as an ointment or cream or for rectal administration as a suppository.

Suitable pharmaceutical carriers include inert diluents orfillers, water and various organic solvents. The pharmaceutical compositions may, if desired, contain additional ingredients such as flavorings, binders, excipients and the like. Thus for oral administration, tablets containing various excipients, such as citric acid may be employed together with various disintegrants such as starch, alginic acid and certain complex silicates and with binding agents such as sucrose, gelatin and acacia.

Additionally, lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate and talc are often useful for tableting purposes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules. Preferred materials, therefor, include lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
