Definitions

  • the present application relates to novel fluorinated derivatives, to processes for their preparation, to compositions comprising them, and to their use in therapy. More particularly, it relates to compounds useful in the treatment of diseases, disorders or conditions mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor. Such compounds and salts thereof may be useful in the treatment or prevention of a number of different cancers.
  • the application also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds and salts thereof, especially useful polymorphic forms of these compounds and salts, intermediates useful in the manufacture of said compounds and to methods of treatment of diseases mediated by various different forms of EGFR using said compounds and salts thereof.
  • Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is a transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase of the ErbB receptor family.
  • a growth factor ligand such as epidermal growth factor (EGF)
  • the receptor can homo- dimerise with another EGFR molecule or hetero-dimerise with another family member such as ErbB2 (HER2), ErbB3 (HER3), or ErbB4 (HER4).
  • HER2 ErbB2
  • HER3 ErbB3
  • HER4 ErbB4
  • ErbB family signalling promotes proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, and tumour cell survival and has been described in many human cancers, including those of the lung, head, neck and breast.
  • the ErbB family therefore represents a rational target for anticancer drug development and a number of agents targeting EGFR or ErbB2 are now clinically available, including gefitinib (IRESSATM), erlotinib (TARCEVATM) and lapatinib (TYKERBTM, TYVERBTM).
  • IRESSATM gefitinib
  • TARCEVATM erlotinib
  • TYKERBTM lapatinib
  • Detailed reviews of ErbB receptor signalling and its involvement in tumourigenesis are provided in New England Journal of Medicine (2008) Vol. 358, 1 160-74 and Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications (2004) Vol. 319, l-ll.
  • This mutation is not believed to hinder the binding of gefitinib or erlotinib to EGFR sterically, it merely alters the affinity to ATP to levels comparable to WT EGFR.
  • agents which inhibit EGFR harbouring the gatekeeper mutation may be especially useful in the treatment of cancer.
  • compounds that exhibit favourable potency against WT EGFR versus activating mutant forms of EGFR for example the L858R EGFR mutant, or the del E746-A750 mutant or the Exon19 deletion EGFR mutant
  • resistant mutant forms of EGFR for example T790M EGFR mutant
  • the human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) channels encode the pore- forming subunit of the inward rectifying voltage gated potassium channel expressed in the heart (kr) as well as in brain regions and endocrine cells.
  • This subunit is involved in cardiac action potential repolarization, and reduced function of hERG lengthens ventricular action potentials amd prolongs the QT interval in an electrocardiogram. Blockade of this target increases the risk for potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia therefore it is desirable for compounds that are to act as drugs to have minimal potency at the hERG channel [Physiological Reviews 2012 92(3) 1393 ⁇
  • compounds that can effectively penetrate the blood brain barrier Such compounds may be expected to be more suitable as therapeutic agents, particularly for the treatment of cancers of the brain.
  • GBM Glioblastoma multiforme
  • PI3K phosphoinositide-3'-kinase
  • Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) tumor suppressor is frequently phosphorylated at a conserved tyrosine residue, Y240, in GBM clinical samples.
  • Phosphorylation of Y240 is associated with shortened overall survival and resistance to EGFR inhibitor therapy in GBM patients and plays an active role in mediating resistance to EGFR inhibition in vitro.
  • Y240 phosphorylation can be mediated by both fibroblast growth factor receptors and SRC family kinases (SFKs) but does not affect the ability of PTEN to antagonize PI3K signaling.
  • a novel class of fluorinated derivatives of Formula I has been prepared and found to be useful in the treatment of cancers and other EGFR related disorders. Surprisingly, it was observed that replacement of a nitrogen atom in a previously known class of non-covalent EGFR inhibitors with an oxygen atom retained biochemical activity and showed reduced hERG channel potency.

  • Bone marrow smears were extracted from the femur at the level of the proximal diaphysis. Marrow was removed using curved forceps and was added to a drop of bovine serum albumin on a glass slide. The marrow was gently mixed with the albumin and spread using the edge of a separate glass slide. The smear was air-dried and fixed in 100% methanol for 5 minutes.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une nouvelle classe de dérivés fluorés de formule I qui ont été préparés et se sont avérés utiles dans le traitement de cancers et d'autres troubles liés au récepteur du facteur de croissance épidermique (EGFR). Les composés de formule I présentent une excellente pénétration du cerveau et un profil d'effet secondaire amélioré par rapport aux composés précédemment connus (par exemple) l'erlotinib.
