BACKGROUND

Protein kinases constitute a large family of structurally related enzymes that are responsible for the control of a wide variety of signal transduction processes within the cell (Hardie, G. and Hanks, S. (1995) The Protein Kinase Facts Book. I and II, Academic Press, San Diego, CA). The kinases may be categorized into families by the substrates they phosphorylate (e.g., protein-tyrosine, protein-serine/threonine, lipids, etc.). Sequence motifs have been identified that generally correspond to each of these kinase families (e.g., Hanks & Hunter, FASEB J. 9: 576-596 (1995); Knighton et al., Science 253: 407-414 (1991 ); Hiles et al., Cell 70: 419-429 (1992); Kunz et al., Cell 73:585-596 (1993); Garcia-Bustos et al., EMBO J. 13:2352-2361 (1994)).

Protein kinases may be characterized by their regulation mechanisms. These mechanisms include, for example, autophosphorylation, transphosphorylation by other kinases, protein- protein interactions, protein-lipid interactions, and protein-polynucleotide interactions. An individual protein kinase may be regulated by more than one mechanism.

Kinases regulate many different cell processes including, but not limited to, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, motility, transcription, translation and other signaling processes, by adding phosphate groups to target proteins. These phosphorylation events act as molecular on/off switches that can modulate or regulate the target protein biological function.

Phosphorylation of target proteins occurs in response to a variety of extracellular signals (hormones, neurotransmitters, growth and differentiation factors, etc.), cell cycle events, environmental or nutritional stresses, etc. The appropriate protein kinase are involved in signaling pathways to activate or inactivate (either directly or indirectly), for example, a metabolic enzyme, regulatory protein, receptor, cytoskeletal protein, ion channel or pump, or transcription factor. Uncontrolled signaling due to defective control of protein phosphorylation has been implicated in a number of diseases, including, for example, inflammation, cancer, allergy/asthma, diseases and conditions of the immune system, diseases and conditions of the central nervous system, and angiogenesis.

Protein kinase 70S6K, the 70 kDa ribosomal protein kinase p70S6K (also known as SK6, p70/p85 S6 kinase, p70/p85 ribosomal S6 kinase and pp70S6K), is a member of the AGC subfamily of protein kinases. p70S6K is a serine-threonine kinase that is a component of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathway. p70S6K is downstream of PI3K, and activation occurs through phosphorylation at a number of sites in response to numerous mitogens, hormones and growth factors. p70S6K activity is also under the control of a mTOR-containing complex (TORC1 ) since rapamycin acts to inhibit p70S6K activity.

p70S6K is regulated by PI3K downstream targets AKT and ΡΚΟζ. Akt directly

phosphorylates and inactivates TSC2, thereby activating mTOR. In addition, studies with mutant alleles of p70S6K that are inhibited by Wortmannin but not by rapamycin suggest that the PI3K pathway can exhibit effects on p70S6K independent of the regulation of mTOR activity. The enzyme p70S6K modulates protein synthesis by phosphorylation of the S6 ribosomal protein. S6 phosphorylation correlates with increased translation of mRNAs encoding components of the translational apparatus, including ribosomal proteins and translational elongation factors whose increased expression is essential for cell growth and proliferation. These mRNAs contain an oligopyrimidime tract at their 5' transcriptional start (termed 5'TOP), which has been shown to be essential for their regulation at the translational level.

In addition to its involvement in translation, p70S6K activation has also been implicated in cell cycle control, neuronal cell differentiation, regulation of cell motility and a cellular response that is important in tumor metastases, the immune response and tissue repair. Antibodies to p70S6K abolish the mitogenic response driven entry of rat fibroblasts into S phase, indicating that p70S6K function is essential for the progression from G1 to S phase in the cell cycle. Furthermore, inhibition of cell cycle proliferation at the G1 to S phase of the cell cycle by rapamycin has been identified as a consequence of inhibition of the production of the hyperphosphorylated, activated form of p70S6K.

A role for p70S6K in tumor cell proliferation and protection of cells from apoptosis is supported based on its participation in growth factor receptor signal transduction, overexpression and activation in tumor tissues. For example, Northern and Western analyses revealed that amplification of the PS6K gene was accompanied by corresponding increases in mRNA and protein expression, respectively (Cancer Res. (1999) 59: 1408-1 1 - Localization of PS6K to Chromosomal Region 17q23 and Determination of Its Amplification in Breast Cancer). Chromosome 17q23 is amplified in up to 20% of primary breast tumors, in 87% of breast tumors containing BRCA2 mutations and in 50% of tumors containing BRCA1 mutations, as well as other cancer types such as pancreatic, bladder and neuroblastoma (cf. Barlund et al., Cancer Res. 60: 5340-5346 (2000)). It has been shown that 17q23 amplifications in breast cancer involve the PAT1 , RAD51 C, PS6K, and SIGMA1 B genes (Cancer Res. (2000): 60, pp. 5371 -5375). The p70S6K gene has been identified as a target of amplification and overexpression in this region, and statistically significant association between amplification and poor prognosis has been observed.

Clinical inhibition of p70S6K activation was observed in renal carcinoma patients treated with CCI-779 (rapamycin ester), an inhibitor of the upstream kinase mTOR. A significant linear association between disease progression and inhibition of p70S6K activity was reported. In response to energy stress, the tumor suppressor LKB1 activates AMPK which phosphorylates the TSC1/2 complex and enables it to inactivate the mTOR/p70S6K pathway. Mutations in LKB1 cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), where patients with PJS are 15 times more likely to develop cancer than the general population. In addition, 1/3 of lung adenocarcinomas harbor inactivating LKB1 mutations. p70S6K has been implicated in metabolic diseases and disorders. It was reported that the absence of p70S6K protects against age-and diet-induced obesity while enhancing insulin sensitivity. A role for p70S6K in metabolic diseases and disorders such as obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hyperaminoacidemia, and hyperlipidmia is supported based upon the findings.

Compounds described as suitable for p70S6K inhibition are disclosed in WO 03/064397, WO 04/092154, WO 05/054237, WO 05/056014, WO 05/033086, WO 05/1 17909,

WO 05/039506, WO 06/120573, WO 06/136821 , WO 06/071819, WO 06/131835, WO 08/140947, WO 10/093419, and WO 12/069146.

In part, aurora kinases modulate a cell's progression through the cell cycle and mitosis. Hallmarks of cancer cell physiology are pathological changes to the normal progression through the cell cycle and mitosis. It has been documented that some compounds which inhibit aurora kinases are also associated with impaired chromosome alignment, weakening of the mitotic checkpoint, polyploidy, and subsequent cell death. More specifically, inhibition of Aurora B kinase has been shown to cause neutropenia as dose limiting toxicity in several clinical trials (Dar et al., Mol Cancer Ther 9: 268-278 (2010)). In addition, inhibition of Aurora B kinase can be an off target effect in ATP competitive kinase inhibitors. These Aurora B kinase inhibitors would also be expected to show neutropenia as dose limiting toxicity caused by aurora inhibition and, therefore, have a limited therapeutic window. Moreover, some aurora kinase inhibitors can also induce polyploidy in normal mammary epithelial cell cultures, thereby, raising the issue of adverse long-term clinical.

Therefore, it is expected that p70S6K inhibitors, which substantially spare or significantly reduce the inhibition of Aurora B kinase, hold special promise in the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases, such as cancer, by reducing neutropenia as dose limiting toxicity and, thereby, improving the therapeutic window for these compounds. Furthermore, it is expected that p70S6K inhibitors, which also inhibit kinase Akt (upstream of p70S6K in the PI3K pathway), provide more efficient PI3K pathway shutdown (Choo et al., PNAS USA 105(45): 17414-9 (2008)), and allow for capture of any Akt feedback loop activation (Tamburini et al., Blood 1 1 1 : 379-82 (2008)).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the meaning of the present invention, the compound is defined to include pharmaceutically usable derivatives, solvates, prodrugs, tautomers, enantiomers, racemates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios. The term "pharmaceutically usable derivatives" is taken to mean, for example, the salts of the compounds according to the invention and also so-called prodrug compounds. The term "solvates" of the compounds is taken to mean adductions of inert solvent molecules onto the compounds, which are formed owing to their mutual attractive force. Solvates are, for example, mono- or dihydrates or alkoxides. The invention also comprises solvates of salts of the compounds according to the invention. The term "prodrug" is taken to mean compounds according to the invention which have been modified by means of, for example, alkyl or acyl groups, sugars or oligopeptides and which are rapidly cleaved in the organism to form the effective compounds according to the invention. These also include biodegradable polymer derivatives of the compounds according to the invention, as described, for example, in Int. J. Pharm. 1 15, 61 -67 (1995). It is likewise possible for the compounds of the invention to be in the form of any desired prodrugs such as, for example, esters, carbonates, carbamates, ureas, amides or phosphates, in which cases the actually biologically active form is released only through metabolism. Any compound that can be converted in-vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e. compounds of the invention) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention. Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art and are described (e.g. Wermuth CG et al., Chapter 31 : 671 -696, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry, Academic Press 1996; Bundgaard H, Design of Prodrugs, Elsevier 1985; Bundgaard H, Chapter 5: 131 -191 , A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Harwood Academic Publishers 1991 ). Said references are incorporated herein by reference. It is further known that chemical substances are converted in the body into metabolites which may where appropriate likewise elicit the desired biological effect - in some circumstances even in more pronounced form. Any biologically active compound that was converted in-vivo by metabolism from any of the compounds of the invention is a metabolite within the scope and spirit of the invention.

The compounds of the invention may be present in the form of their double bond isomers as pure E or Z isomers, or in the form of mixtures of these double bond isomers. Where possible, the compounds of the invention may be in the form of the tautomers, such as keto- enol tautomers. All stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention are contemplated, either in a mixture or in pure or substantially pure form. The compounds of the invention can have asymmetric centers at any of the carbon atoms. Consequently, they can exist in the form of their racemates, in the form of the pure enantiomers and/or diastereomers or in the form of mixtures of these enantiomers and/or diastereomers. The mixtures may have any desired mixing ratio of the stereoisomers. Thus, for example, the compounds of the invention which have one or more centers of chirality and which occur as racemates or as

diastereomer mixtures can be fractionated by methods known per se into their optical pure isomers, i.e. enantiomers or diastereomers. The separation of the compounds of the invention can take place by column separation on chiral or nonchiral phases or by recrystallization from an optionally optically active solvent or with use of an optically active acid or base or by derivatization with an optically active reagent such as, for example, an optically active alcohol, and subsequent elimination of the radical.

The invention also relates to the use of mixtures of the compounds according to the invention, for example mixtures of two diastereomers, for example in the ratio 1 :1 , 1 :2, 1 :3, 1 :4, 1 :5, 1 :10, 1 :100 or 1 :1000. These are particularly preferably mixtures of stereoisomeric compounds.

The nomenclature as used herein for defining compounds, especially the compounds according to the invention, is in general based on the rules of the lUPAC-organization for chemical compounds and especially organic compounds. The terms indicated for explanation of the above compounds of the invention always, unless indicated otherwise in the description or in the claims, have the following meanings:

The term "unsubstituted" means that the corresponding radical, group or moiety has no substituents. The term "substituted" means that the corresponding radical, group or moiety has one or more substituents. Where a radical has a plurality of substituents, and a selection of various substituents is specified, the substituents are selected independently of one another and do not need to be identical. Even though a radical has a plurality of a specific- designated substituent (e.g. Y ₂ or YY) the expression of such substituent may differ from each other (e.g. methyl and ethyl). It shall be understood accordingly that a multiple substitution by any radical of the invention may involve identical or different radicals. Hence, if individual radicals occur several times within a compound, the radicals adopt the meanings indicated, independently of one another. In case of a multiple substitution, the radical could be alternatively designated with R', R", R'", R"" etc. The terms "alkyl" or "A" refer to acyclic saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals, which may be branched or straight-chain and preferably have 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 carbon atoms, i.e. d -C ₁₀ -alkyls.

The azaquinazoline carboxamide derivatives according to formula (I) and the starting materials for its preparation, respectively, are produced by methods known per se, as described in the literature (for example in standard works, such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods of Organic Chemistry], Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart), i.e. under reaction conditions that are known and suitable for said reactions.

Use can also be made of variants that are known per se, but are not mentioned in greater detail herein. If desired, the starting materials can also be formed in-situ by leaving them in the un-isolated status in the crude reaction mixture, but immediately converting them further into the compound according to the invention. On the other hand, it is possible to carry out the reaction stepwise.

The reaction is generally carried out in an inert solvent. Suitable inert solvents are, for example, hydrocarbons, such as hexane, petroleum ether, benzene, toluene or xylene; chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as trichloroethylene, 1 ,2-dichloroethane, carbon

tetrachloride, chloroform or dichloromethane; alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, n-butanol or tert-butanol; ethers, such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane; glycol ethers, such as ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglyme); ketones, such as acetone or butanone; amides, such as acetamide, dimethylacetamide or dimethylformamide (DMF); nitriles, such as acetonitrile; sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); carbon disulfide; carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA); nitro compounds, such as nitromethane or nitrobenzene; esters, such as ethyl acetate, or mixtures of the said solvents. Particular preference is given to DMF, TFA, H ₂ 0, THF, tert- butanol, tert-amylalcohol, triethylamine or dioxane.

Depending on the conditions used, the reaction time is between a few minutes and 14 days, the reaction temperature is between about -30 °C and 140°C, normally between -10°C and 130°C, preferably between 0°C and 100°C. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing compounds of formula (I) comprising the steps of:

(a) reacting a compound of formula (IX)

(IX) wherein W ¹ , W ² , W ³ and W ⁴ have the meaning as defined above, with a compound of formula (X)

(X) wherein R ¹ , R ² , R ³ and m have the meaning as defined above, to yield a compound of formula (I)

(I) wherein W ¹ , W ² , W ³ , W ⁴ , R ¹ , R ² , R ³ and m have the meaning as defined above, and optionally

converting a base or an acid of the compound of formula (I) into a salt thereof.

The azaquinazoline carboxamide derivatives of formula (I) are accessible via the route above. The starting materials, including the compounds of formulae (IX) and (X) are usually known to the skilled artisan, or they can be easily prepared by known methods. Accordingly, any compound of formulae (IX) and (X) can be purified, provided as intermediate product and used as starting material for the preparation of compounds of formula (I).

In the final step of the processes above, a salt of the compounds according to formula (I) is optionally provided. The said compounds according to the invention can be used in their final non-salt form. On the other hand, the present invention also encompasses the use of these compounds in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which can be derived from various organic and inorganic acids and bases by procedures known in the art.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds according to the invention are for the most part prepared by conventional methods. If the compound according to the invention contains a carboxyl group, one of its suitable salts can be formed by the reaction of the compound with a suitable base to give the corresponding base-addition salt. Such bases are, for example, alkali metal hydroxides, including potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide; alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as barium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide; alkali metal alkoxides, for example potassium ethoxide and sodium propoxide; and various organic bases, such as piperidine, diethanolamine and N- methylglutamine. The aluminum salts of the compounds according to the invention are likewise included. In most case of the compounds according to the invention, it is preferred that acid-addition salts are formed by treating these compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable organic and inorganic acids, for example hydrogen halides, such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen iodide, other mineral acids and corresponding salts thereof, such as sulfate, nitrate or phosphate and the like, and alkyl- and

monoarylsulfonates, such as ethanesulfonate, toluenesulfonate and benzenesulfonate, and other organic acids and corresponding salts thereof, such as acetate, trifluoroacetate, tartrate, maleate, succinate, citrate, benzoate, salicylate, ascorbate and the like. Accordingly, pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition salts of the compounds according to the invention include the following: acetate, adipate, alginate, arginate, aspartate, benzoate,

benzenesulfonate (besylate), bisulfate, bisulfite, bromide, butyrate, camphorate, camphor- sulfonate, caprylate, chloride, chlorobenzoate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dihydrogenphosphate, dinitrobenzoate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, galacterate (from mucic acid), galacturonate, glucoheptanoate, gluconate, glutamate, glycerophosphate, hemisuccinate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hippurate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, iodide, isethionate, isobutyrate, lactate, lactobionate, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, metaphosphate, methanesulfonate, methylbenzoate, monohydrogenphosphate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oxalate, oleate, palmoate, pectinate, persulfate, phenylacetate, 3- phenylpropionate, phosphate, phosphonate, phthalate, but this does not represent a restriction.

With regard to that stated above, it can be seen that the expressions "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" and "physiologically acceptable salt", which are used interchangeable herein, in the present connection are taken to mean an active ingredient which comprises a compound according to the invention in the form of one of its salts, in particular if this salt form imparts improved pharmacokinetic properties on the active ingredient compared with the free form of the active ingredient or any other salt form of the active ingredient used earlier. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt form of the active ingredient can also provide this active ingredient for the first time with a desired pharmacokinetic property which it did not have earlier and can even have a positive influence on the pharmacodynamics of this active ingredient with respect to its therapeutic efficacy in the body.

Object of the present invention is also the use of compounds according to formula (I) and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for modulating and preferably inhibiting p70S6 kinase activity. The term "modulation" denotes any change in p70S6K-mediated signal transduction, which is based on the action of the specific inventive compounds capable to interact with the p70S6K target in such a manner that makes recognition, binding and inhibition possible. The term "inhibition" denotes any reduction in p70S6K activity, which is based on the action of the specific inventive compounds capable to interact with the target p70S6K in such a manner that makes recognition, binding and blocking possible. The compounds are characterized by such an appreciable affinity to p70S6K, which ensures a reliable binding and blocking of p70S6K activity. The same is valid for the Akt target, if appropriate. Preferably, the substances are p70S6K-specific in order to guarantee an exclusive and directed recognition of the p70S6K target. More preferably, the substances are bi-specific in order to guarantee an exclusive and directed recognition of the p70S6K target and the Akt target. In the context of the present invention, the term "recognition" - without being limited thereto - relates to any type of interaction between the specific compounds and the target, particularly covalent or non-covalent binding or association, such as a covalent bond, hydrophobic/ hydrophilic interactions, van der Waals forces, ion pairs, hydrogen bonds, ligand-receptor interactions, and the like. Such association may also encompass the presence of other molecules such as peptides, proteins or nucleotide sequences. The present interaction is characterized by high affinity, high selectivity and minimal or even lacking cross-reactivity to other target molecules to exclude unhealthy and harmful impacts to the treated subject.

A preferred object of the present invention relates to a method for inhibiting p70S6 kinase, wherein a system capable of expressing the p70S6 kinase, preferably expressing the p70S6 kinase, is contacted with at least one compound of formula (I) according to the invention and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof, under conditions such that said p70S6 kinase is inhibited. A cellular system is preferred in the scope of the invention. The cellular system is defined to be any subject provided that the subject comprises cells. Hence, the cellular system can be selected from the group of single cells, cell cultures, tissues, organs and animals. The method for inhibiting p70S6 kinase is preferably performed in-vitro. The prior teaching of the present specification concerning the compounds of formula (I), including any preferred embodiment thereof, is valid and applicable without restrictions to the compounds according to formula (I) and their salts when used in the method for inhibiting p70S6 kinase.

The compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit an advantageous biological activity, which is easily demonstrated in cell culture-based assays, for example assays as described herein or in prior art. In such assays, the compounds according to the invention preferably exhibit and cause an inhibiting effect. The compounds of the invention exhibit EC ₅₀ values in the range of 10 nM to 25 μΜ. It is preferred that the compounds of the invention have an activity, as expressed by an EC ₅₀ standard, of 5 μΜ or less, preferably 1 μΜ or less, more preferably 0.5 μΜ or less, most preferably less than 0.1 μΜ. "EC ₅₀ " is the effective concentration of a compound that produces 50% of the maximum possible response for that compound.

The method of the invention can be performed either in-vitro or in-vivo. The susceptibility of a particular cell to treatment with the compounds according to the invention can be particularly determined by in-vitro tests, whether in the course of research or clinical application. Typically, a culture of the cell is combined with a compound according to the invention at various concentrations for a period of time which is sufficient to allow the active agents to modulate p70S6K activity, usually between about one hour and one week. In-vitro treatment can be carried out using cultivated cells from a biopsy sample or cell line. In a preferred aspect of the invention, a follicle cell is stimulated for maturation. The viable cells remaining after the treatment are counted and further processed.

The host or patient can belong to any mammalian species, for example a primate species, particularly humans; rodents, including mice, rats and hamsters; rabbits; horses, cows, dogs, cats, etc. Animal models are of interest for experimental investigations, providing a model for treatment of human disease.

For identification of a signal transduction pathway and for detection of interactions between various signal transduction pathways, various scientists have developed suitable models or model systems, for example cell culture models and models of transgenic animals. For the determination of certain stages in the signal transduction cascade, interacting compounds can be utilized in order to modulate the signal. The compounds according to the invention can also be used as reagents for testing p70S6K-dependent signal transduction pathways in animals and/or cell culture models or in the clinical diseases mentioned in this application.

The use according to the previous paragraphs of the specification may be either performed in-vitro or in-vivo models. The modulation can be monitored by the techniques described in the course of the present specification. The in-vitro use is preferably applied to samples of humans suffering from hyperproliferative disorders. Testing of several specific compounds and/or derivatives thereof makes the selection of that active ingredient possible that is best suited for the treatment of the human subject. The in-vivo dose rate of the chosen derivative is advantageously pre-adjusted to the p70S6K susceptibility and/or severity of disease of the respective subject with regard to the in-vitro data. Therefore, the therapeutic efficacy is remarkably enhanced. Moreover, the subsequent teaching of the present specification concerning the use of the compounds according to formula (I) and its derivatives for the production of a medicament for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment and/or monitoring is considered as valid and applicable without restrictions to the use of the compound for the modulation of p70S6K activity if expedient.

As discussed herein, the PI3K signaling pathway is relevant for various diseases, preferably in oncology. Accordingly, the compounds according to the invention are useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases that are dependent on the said signaling pathways by interaction with one or more of the said signaling pathways. The present invention therefore relates to compounds according to the invention as modulators, preferably inhibitors, of the signaling pathways described herein, preferably of the PI3K-mediated signaling pathway. In particular, the invention relates to the use of compounds according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases related to the hyperactivity of p70S6K as well as diseases modulated by the p70S6K cascade in mammals, or disorders mediated by aberrant proliferation, such as cancer and inflammation.

The invention furthermore relates to a medicament comprising at least one compound according to the invention and/or pharmaceutically usable derivatives, salts, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios. Preferably, the invention relates to a medicament comprising at least one compound according to the invention and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof.

A "medicament" in the meaning of the invention is any agent in the field of medicine, which comprises one or more compounds of formula (I) or preparations thereof (e.g. a

pharmaceutical composition or pharmaceutical formulation) and can be used in prophylaxis, therapy, follow-up or aftercare of patients who suffer from diseases, which are associated with p70S6K activity, in such a way that a pathogenic modification of their overall condition or of the condition of particular regions of the organism could establish at least temporarily.

Consequently, the invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising as active ingredient at least one compound of formula (I) according to the invention and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof together with pharmaceutically tolerable adjuvants and/or excipients. It shall be understood that the compound of the invention is provided in an effective amount.

In the meaning of the invention, an "adjuvant" denotes every substance that enables, intensifies or modifies a specific response against the active ingredient of the invention if administered simultaneously, contemporarily or sequentially. Known adjuvants for injection solutions are, for example, aluminum compositions, such as aluminum hydroxide or aluminum phosphate, saponins, such as QS21 , muramyldipeptide or muramyltripeptide, proteins, such as gamma-interferon or TNF, M59, squalen or polyols.

Furthermore, the active ingredient may be administered alone or in combination with other treatments. A synergistic effect may be achieved by using more than one compound in the pharmaceutical composition, i.e. the compound of formula (I) is combined with at least another agent as active ingredient, which is either another compound of formula (I) or a compound of different structural scaffold. The active ingredients can be used either simultaneously or sequentially. The invention also relates to a compound or pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting abnormal cell growth / cancer in a mammal which comprises an amount of a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate or prodrug thereof, in combination with an amount of another anti-cancer therapeutic, wherein the amounts of the compound, salt, solvate, or prodrug, and of the

chemotherapeutic are together effective in inhibiting abnormal cell growth / cancer. The present compounds are suitable for combination with known anti-cancer agents.

Many oncology therapeutics are presently known in the art. In a preferred embodiment, the other active pharmaceutical ingredient is an anti-cancer therapeutic that is a

chemotherapeutic selected from the group consisting of mitotic inhibitors, alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, intercalating antibiotics, growth factor inhibitors, cell cycle inhibitors, enzymes, topoisomerase inhibitors, biological response modifiers, anti-hormones, angiogenesis inhibitors, and anti-androgens. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the anti-cancer therapeutic is an antibody selected from the group consisting of bevacizumab, CD40-specific antibodies, chTNT-1 /B, denosumab, zanolimumab, IGF1 R- specific antibodies, lintuzumab, edrecolomab, WX G250, rituximab, ticilimumab, trastuzumab and cetuximab. In yet another preferred embodiment of the invention, the anti-cancer therapeutic is an inhibitor of another protein kinase, such as Akt, Axl, dyrk2, epha2, fgfr3, igf 1 r, IKK2, JNK3, Vegfrl , Vegfr2, Vegfr3 (also known as Flt-4), KDR, MEK, MET, Plk1 ,

RSK1 , Src, TrkA, Zap70, cKit, bRaf, EGFR, Jak2, PI3K, NPM-Alk, c-Abl, BTK, FAK, PDGFR, TAK1 , LimK, Flt-3, PDK1 , and Erk. Further anti-cancer agents are known to those of skill in the art and are useful with the compounds of the present invention.

The invention also relates to a set (kit) consisting of separate packs of an effective amount of a compound according to the invention and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, derivatives, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, and an effective amount of a further medicament active ingredient. The set comprises suitable containers, such as boxes, individual bottles, bags or ampoules. The set may, for example, comprise separate ampoules, each containing an effective amount of a compound according to the invention and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, derivatives, solvates and stereoisomers thereof, including mixtures thereof in all ratios, and an effective amount of a further medicament active ingredient in dissolved or lyophilized form.

Pharmaceutical formulations can be adapted for administration via any desired suitable method, for example by oral (including buccal or sublingual), rectal, nasal, topical (including buccal, sublingual or transdermal), vaginal or parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or intradermal) methods. Such formulations can be prepared using all processes known in the pharmaceutical art by, for example, combining the active ingredient with the excipient(s) or adjuvant(s).

The pharmaceutical composition of the invention is produced in a known way using common solid or liquid carriers, diluents and/or additives and usual adjuvants for pharmaceutical engineering and with an appropriate dosage. The amount of excipient material that is combined with the active ingredient to produce a single dosage form varies depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Suitable excipients include organic or inorganic substances that are suitable for the different routes of administration, such as enteral (e.g. oral), parenteral or topical application, and which do not react with compounds of formula (I) or salts thereof. Examples of suitable excipients are water, vegetable oils, benzyl alcohols, alkylene glycols, polyethylene glycols, glycerol triacetate, gelatin, carbohydrates, e.g. lactose or starch, magnesium stearate, talc and petroleum jelly.

Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for oral administration can be administered as separate units, such as, for example, capsules or tablets; powders or granules; solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids; edible foams or foam foods; or oil-in-water liquid emulsions or water-in-oil liquid emulsions. Pharmaceutical formulations adapted for parenteral administration include aqueous and nonaqueous sterile injection solutions comprising antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatics and solutes, by means of which the formulation is rendered isotonic with the blood of the recipient to be treated; and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions, which may comprise suspension media and thickeners. The formulations can be administered in single- dose or multi-dose containers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and stored in freeze- dried (lyophilized) state, so that only the addition of the sterile carrier liquid, for example water for injection purposes, immediately before use is necessary. Injection solutions and suspensions prepared in accordance with the recipe can be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets.

It goes without saying that, in addition to the above particularly mentioned constituents, the formulations may also comprise other agents usual in the art with respect to the particular type of formulation; thus, for example, formulations which are suitable for oral administration may comprise flavors.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition is adapted for oral administration. The preparations can be sterilized and/or can comprise auxiliaries, such as carrier proteins (e.g. serum albumin), lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, fillers, chelating agents, antioxidants, solvents, bonding agents, suspending agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts (for influencing the osmotic pressure), buffer substances, colorants, flavorings and one or more further active substances, for example one or more vitamins. Additives are well known in the art, and they are used in a variety of formulations.

Accordingly, the invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising as active pharmaceutical ingredient at least one compound of formula (I) according to the invention and/or physiologically acceptable salts thereof together with pharmaceutically tolerable adjuvants, optionally in combination with at least another active pharmaceutical ingredient. Both active pharmaceutical ingredients are particularly provided in effective amounts. The prior teaching of the present specification concerning administration route and combination product, respectively, is valid and applicable without restrictions to the combination of both features if expedient. The terms "effective amount" or "effective dose" or "dose" are interchangeably used herein and denote an amount of the pharmaceutical compound having a prophylactically or therapeutically relevant effect on a disease or pathological conditions, i.e. which causes in a tissue, system, animal or human a biological or medical response which is sought or desired, for example, by a researcher or physician. A "prophylactic effect" reduces the likelihood of developing a disease or even prevents the onset of a disease. A "therapeutically relevant effect" relieves to some extent one or more symptoms of a disease or returns to normality either partially or completely one or more physiological or biochemical parameters associated with or causative of the disease or pathological conditions. In addition, the expression "therapeutically effective amount" denotes an amount which, compared with a corresponding subject who has not received this amount, has the following consequence: improved treatment, healing, prevention or elimination of a disease, syndrome, condition, complaint, disorder or side-effects or also the reduction in the advance of a disease, complaint or disorder. The expression "therapeutically effective amount" also encompasses the amounts which are effective for increasing normal physiological function. The respective dose or dosage range for administering the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is sufficiently high in order to achieve the desired prophylactic or therapeutic effect of reducing symptoms of the aforementioned diseases, such as cancer and inflammation. It will be understood that the specific dose level, frequency and period of administration to any particular human will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general state of health, gender, diet, time and route of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease to which the specific therapy is applied. Using well-known means and methods, the exact dose can be determined by one of skill in the art as a matter of routine experimentation. The prior teaching of the present specification is valid and applicable without restrictions to the pharmaceutical composition comprising the compounds of formula (I) if expedient.

Pharmaceutical formulations can be administered in the form of dosage units which comprise a predetermined amount of active ingredient per dosage unit. The concentration of the prophylactically or therapeutically active ingredient in the formulation may vary from about 0.1 to 100 wt%. Preferably, the compound of formula (I) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are administered in doses of approximately 0.5 to 1000 mg, more preferably between 1 and 700 mg, most preferably 5 and 100 mg per dose unit. Generally, such a dose range is appropriate for total daily incorporation. In other terms, the daily dose is preferably between approximately 0.02 and 100 mg/kg of body weight. The specific dose for each patient depends, however, on a wide variety of factors as already described in the present specification (e.g. depending on the condition treated, the method of administration and the age, weight and condition of the patient). Preferred dosage unit formulations are those which comprise a daily dose or part-dose, as indicated above, or a corresponding fraction thereof of an active ingredient. Furthermore, pharmaceutical formulations of this type can be prepared using a process which is generally known in the pharmaceutical art.

Although a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to the invention has to be ultimately determined by the treating doctor or vet by considering a number of factors (e.g. the age and weight of the animal, the precise condition that requires treatment, severity of condition, the nature of the formulation and the method of administration), an effective amount of a compound according to the invention for the treatment of neoplastic growth, for example colon or breast carcinoma, is generally in the range from 0.1 to 100 mg/kg of body weight of the recipient (mammal) per day and particularly typically in the range from 1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight per day. Thus, the actual amount per day for an adult mammal weighing 70 kg is usually between 70 and 700 mg, where this amount can be administered as a single dose per day or usually in a series of part-doses (such as, for example, two, three, four, five or six) per day, so that the total daily dose is the same. An effective amount of a salt or solvate or of a physiologically functional derivative thereof can be determined as the fraction of the effective amount of the compound according to the invention per se. It can be assumed that similar doses are suitable for the treatment of other conditions mentioned above.

In the scope of the present invention, novel azaquinazoline carboxamide compounds of formula (I) are provided for the first time. The p70S6K inhibitors of the invention are structurally distinct from compounds in the art because of introducing heteroatoms into the quinazoline carboxamide scaffold. The invention comprises the use of compounds of formula (I) in the regulation, modulation and/or inhibition of the PI3K signal cascade via p70S6K, which a member of said pathway. The compounds of the invention can be advantageously applied as research tool, for diagnosis and/or in treatment of any disorders that are

responsive to p70S6K signaling and inhibition.

For example, the compounds of the invention are useful in-vitro as unique tools for understanding the biological role of p70S6K, including the evaluation of the many factors thought to influence, and be influenced by, the production of p70S6K. The present

compounds are also useful in the development of other compounds that interact with p70S6K since the present compounds provide important structure-activity relationship (SAR) information that facilitate that development. The compounds of the invention are potent, selective and orally bioavailable p70S6K inhibitors that address this unmet medical need for the several conditions, particularly cancer and inflammation, with respect to the progressive features of the diseases. Medicaments and pharmaceutical compositions containing said compounds and the use of said compounds to treat p70S6K-mediated conditions is a promising, novel approach for a broad spectrum of therapies causing a direct and immediate improvement in the state of health, whether in man and animal. The impact is of special benefit to efficiently combat hyperproliferative disorders, either alone or in combination with other treatments.

Due to the surprisingly appreciable inhibitory activity on p70S6K, the compounds of the invention can be advantageously administered at lower doses compared to other less potent or selective inhibitors of prior art while still achieving equivalent or even superior desired biological effects. In addition, such a dose reduction advantageously leads to less or even no medicinal adverse effects. Moreover, the compounds of formula (I), their salts, isomers, tautomers, enantiomeric forms, diastereomers, racemates, derivatives, prodrugs and/or metabolites are characterized by a high specificity and stability, low manufacturing costs and convenient handling. These features form the basis for a reproducible action, wherein the lack of cross- reactivity is included, and for a reliable and safe interaction with the target structure.

EXAMPLE 3: p70S6K enzyme assay

p70S6K inhibitor compounds were diluted and plated in 96 well plates. A reaction mixture including the following components were then added to the compound plate to initiate the enzyme reaction: p70S6K (3 nM, T412E mutant, Millipore) was mixed with 24 μΜ ATP in an assay buffer containing 100 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCI ₂ , 1 mM DTT, 0.015% Brij and 1 μΜ of the substrate peptide FITC-AHA-AKRRRLSSLRA-OH (derived from the S6 ribosomal protein sequence, FITC = fluorescein isothiocyanate, AHA = 6-aminohexanoic acid). The reaction was incubated for 90 min at 25°C, before the addition of 10 mM EDTA to stop the reaction. The proportion of substrate and product (phosphorylated) peptide was analyzed on a Caliper Life Sciences Lab Chip 3000, using a pressure of - 1 .4 psi, and upstream and downstream voltages of - 3000 and - 700, respectively. Product peaks were resolved before substrate peaks on the resulting chromatograms. To assess the inhibitory potential of the compounds, IC ₅₀ values were determined, as shown above. EXAMPLE 4: AKT/PKB kinase assay

In order to measure AKT inhibition in the Caliper Life Sciences LC3000, a TTP Mosquito liquid handling instrument was used to place 125 nl of the appropriate concentration of inhibitor in 100% DMSO (for a dose response curve calculation) into each well of a 384-well plate. To this reaction, the following components were added to a final volume of 12.5 μΙ:

0.1 ng/μΙ His-AKT (Full Length) (Invitrogen, Part # P2999, Lot # 641228C);

160 μΜ ATP (Fluka, 02055);

1 mM DTT (Sigma, D0632);

1 mM MgCI ₂ (Sigma, M1028);

1 μΜ substrate peptide (sequence FITC-AHA-GRPRTSSFAEG-NH ₂ ), synthesized by

Tufts Peptide Synthesis service;

100 mM HEPES pH 7.5 (Calbiochem, 391338); and

0.015 % Brij-35 (Sigma, B4184).

The reaction was incubated for 90 min at 25°C, and then stopped by the addition of 70 μΙ of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij-35, 10 mM EDTA (Sigma, E7889)). The plate was read on a Caliper LC 3000 in an Off-Chip mobility shift assay format, using the following parameters for a 12-sipper chip: screening pressure -2.3 psi, upstream voltage - 500, and downstream voltage -3000. These conditions cause unphosphorylated substrate and phosphorylated product peptide to resolve as separate peaks allowing direct measurement of percentage of conversion of substrate to product. The percent conversion was plotted against concentration of inhibitor to produce a sigmoidal dose response curve, from which an IC ₅₀ was calculated.

The values for the p70S6K and AKT enzyme inhibition assays for selected compounds set out in the Experimental section are presented in Table 1 . The data are presented as follows:

+++++: < 25 nM;

++++: 25 - 100 nM;
