Description:
PYRROLOTRIAZINONE DERIVATIVES AS PI3K INHIBITORS FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel compounds having PI3K activity. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing them, processes for their preparation and their use in the treatment of several disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When cells are activated by extracellular stimuli, intracellular signalling cascades involving the regulation of second messengers are initiated that eventually produce a response of the cell to the stimuli. Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases (PI3Ks) are among the enzymes involved in early signalling events to a plethora of different types of stimuli.

PI3Ks phosphorylate the 3-hydroxyl group of the inositol ring of phosphatidylinositol

(Ptdlns), Ptdlns-4-phosphate (Ptdlns4P), and Ptdlns-4,5-bisphosphate (Ptdlns(4,5)P2).

The resulting 3-phosphoinositides mediate correct localization and subsequent activation of a number of downstream effector proteins that bind to the lipids via specific lipid binding sequences such as the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain

(Vanhaesebroeck B, 2010, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 5:11381-6).

The PI3K family is divided into 3 different classes (PI3K class I, class II, and class III), depending on substrate preference and structural features.

The best characterized is the PI3K class I with the preferential substrate Ptdlns- (4,5)P2. It englobes 4 different isoforms which originally were further subdivided into class IA (p1 10a, p1 10b, p1 10d), binding to a p85 type of regulatory subunit, and class IB (p1 10g) which is regulated by p101 and p87 subunits. Whereas p1 10a (PI3Ka or PI3Ka) and p1 10b (PI3Kb or ΡΙ3Κβ) isoforms are expressed ubiquitously, p1 10g (PI3Kg or ΡΙ3Κγ) and especially p1 10d (PI3Kd or PI3K5) have a more restricted expression pattern and seem to play a major role in leukocytes (Kok K, Trends

Biochem Science 34:115-127, 2009). Both, PI3Kd and PI3Kg are involved in activation of immune cells by a large variety of different stimuli. Pharmacological inhibition or genetic deficiency in active p1 10d has been shown to inhibit T cell proliferation and cytokine production in response to different stimuli such as anti-CD3, anti-CD3/CD28, superantigen or antigen in vitro (Ji H, Blood 2007; Okkenhaug K, Science 2002; Garcon F, 2009; Soond DR, Blood 2010; Herman SEM, Blood June 3, 2010; William O, Chemistry & Biology 17, 2010) and to suppress concanavalin A and anti-CD3 induced cytokine production as well as antigen- dependent tissue retention in vivo (Soond DR, Blood 2010; Jarmin SJ, JCI 2008). In addition, B cell function is critically dependent on functional PI3Kd activity as demonstrated by suppressed B cell proliferation and cytokine release in vitro in response to anti-lgM (Bilancio A, Blood 107, 2006), toll like receptor agonists such as LPS and oligodeoxynucleotides (Dil N, Mol Immunol 46, 2009) or impaired ability to stimulate antigen-specific T cells (Al-Alwan M, JI 2007) in the absence of functional p1 10d or pharmacological inhibition. In vivo, PI3Kg deficient mice display partially suppressed antibody production upon immunization (Garcon F, 2009; Durand CA, JI

2009) . Further studies have demonstrated an important role of PI3Kd in inhibition of T cell apoptosis and in TH17 differentiation (Haylock-Jacobs S, J. Autoimmun 2010).

In addition, mast cell degranulation was reduced in cells from mice with inactivated PI3Kd or by pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kd (AN K, Nature 431 :1007-101 1 , 2004; AN K, Journal of Immunology 180:2538-2544, 2008) and basophil activation via the FcE receptor is suppressed by pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kd (Lannutti BJ, Blood Oct.

2010) . In terms of neutrophil function, PI3Kd inhibition inhibits migration of mouse neutrophils to fMLP in an under-agarose migration assay by inhibiting cell polarization and directional movement (Sadhu C, JI 170, 2003) and mouse PI3Kd deficient or inhibitor treated neutrophils show slightly (25%) reduced in vitro chemotaxis to LTB4, whereas in vivo accumulation in the lung in response to LPS was reduced by more than 80%, indicating an important role of PI3Kd in endothelial cells for mediating PMN

transendothelial migration (Puri KD, Blood 103, 2004). Furthermore, TNF induced neutrophil infiltration to an air pouch in mice and elastase release is partially inhibited by a PI3Kd selective inhibitor (Sadhu C, Biochem Biophys Res Comm 308, 2003). In addition, TNF mediated priming of oxidative burst by human neutrophils depends on PI3Kd activity (Condliffe AM, Blood 106, 2005). In contrast to the dominant role of PI3Kd in lymphocyte activation, PI3Kg seems to affect primarily chemotaxis of different immune cells induced by various mediators and chemokines (Martin AL, Jl 180, 2008; Thomas MS, J Leukoc Biol 84, 2008; Jarmin SJ, JCI 2008; Matthew T, Immunology 126, 2008), as well as degranulation and oxidative burst of innate immuce cells induced by GPCR mediated stimuli such as fMLP, IL-8 or C5a (Condliffe AM, Blood 106, 2005; Yum HK, Jl 167, 2001 ; Pinho V, Jl 179, 2007

The above mentioned findings suggest that selective PI3Kd or dual PI3Kd/PI3Kg pharmacological inhibition represents a promising approach for treating a variety of diseases.

There is substantial experimental evidence supporting this view. In rodent models of allergic lung inflammation, genetic or pharmacolocical inactivation of PI3Kd or dual PI3Kd/g dual inhibition reduces cell influx, mucus production, cytokine production and airway hyperreactivity (Nashed et a. 2007, Eur J Immunol 37:416; Lee et al. 2006, FASEB J 20:455 & Lee KS et al. 2006, J Allergy Clin Immunol 1 18:403; Doukas J, JPET 2009;328:758; Par SJ, ERJ 2010). Moreover, LPS induced lung neutrophil infiltration is blocked by PI3Kd inhibition (Puri KD, Blood 2004;103:3448) and inflammation in response to LPS or tobacco smoke exposure is suppressed by a dual PI3Kd/g inhibitor (Doukas J, JPET 2009;328:758). Moreover, PI3Kd seems to be involved in the reduction of responsiveness to corticosteroid treatment associated with oxidative stress and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This notion is based on the findings that tobacco smoke induced inflammation remains responsive to treatment with budesonide, whereas wild type or PI3Kg deficient mice develop resistance to corticosteroid treatment (Marwick JA, JRCCM 179:542-548, 2009).

Similar results were obtained with a PI3Kd selective inhibitor (To Y, AJRCCM 182:897- 904, 2010). In addition, in vitro induction of corticosteroid resistance by oxidative stress is prevented by PI3Kd inhibition (To Y, AJRCCM 2010). In COPD patients, lung macrophages display increased expression of PI3Kd and phosphorylation of its downstream effector Akt and non-selective PI3K or PI3Kd- selective inhibition restored the impaired inhibitory efficacy of dexamethasone in PBMC from COPD patients (To Y, AJRCCM 182:897-904, 2010; Marwick JA, JACI 125:1 146-53, 2010).

Furthermore, PI3Kd inhibition was effective in a model of contact hypersensitivity (Soond DR, Blood Jan 2010). In a model of experimental autoimmune

encephalomyelitis, PI3Kd deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kd attenuated T cell activation and function and reduced T cell numbers in the CNS, suggesting a therapeutic benefit of PI3Kd inhibitor in multiple sclerosis and other Th17-mediated autoimmune diseases (Haylock-Jacobs S, J. Autoimmun 2010). In line with that, genetic deficiency or pharmacological inhibition of PI3Kd diminished joint erosion in a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis (Randis TM, Eur J Immunol 38, 2008).

Concerning metabolic diseases, PI3Kd overexpression seems to contribute to excessive vascular contraction and PI3Kd inhibition normalized vascular contractive responses in a mouse model of type I diabetes, suggesting a therapeutic potential of PI3Kd blockade to treat vascular dysfunction in diabetic patients (Pinho JF, Br. J. Pharmacol 161 , 2010).

There is also substantial experimental evidence supporting that genetic of

pharmacolocical inactivation of PI3Kd or dual PI3Kd/g dual inhibition is effective in the treatment of cancers including but not restricted to leukemias, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, non-hodgkins lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, acute myeloid leukaemia, myelo-dysplastic syndrome or myelo-proliferative diseases. In this aspect, the selective PI3Kd inhibitor CAL-101 demonstrated anti-proliferative properties on different tumor cells in vitro and efficacy in cancer patients with a dysregulated PI3Kd activity, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (Hermann SE, Blood 1 16:2078-88, 2010; Lannutti BJ, Blood Oct. 2010).

In view of the numerous conditions that are contemplated to benefit by treatment involving modulation of the PI3K pathway or modulation of the PI3 Kinases it is immediately apparent that new compounds that modulate PI3K pathways and use of these compounds should provide substantial therapeutic benefits to a wide variety of patients.

Provided herein are novel pyrrolotriazinone derivatives for use in the treatment of conditions in which targeting of the PI3K pathway or inhibition of PI3 Kinases can be therapeutically useful.

It has now been found that certain pyrrolotriazinone derivatives are novel and potent PI3K inhibitors and can therefore be used in the treatment or prevention of these diseases. The introduction of a -CH2- group linked to the tertiary amine (as described in the general Formula (I)) surprisingly increases the exposure in the lung for such compounds after i.t. administration in pre-clinical species.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

When describing the compounds, compositions, combinations and methods of the invention, the following terms have the following meanings, unless otherwise indicated.

As used herein the term C1-C4 alkyl embraces linear or branched radicals having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 2 carbon atoms. Examples include methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl or t-butyl radicals. As used herein, the term C1-C4 haloalkyl group is an alkyl group, for example a C1-C4 or C1-C2 alkyl group, which is bonded to one or more, preferably 1 , 2 or 3 halogen atoms. Preferably, said haloakyl group is chosen from -CCI3, -CHF2 and -CF3.

As used herein, the term C1-C4 alkoxy (or alkyloxy) embraces linear or branched oxy- containing radicals each having alkyl portions of 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

As used herein, the term 3- to 7-membered heterocyclyl radical embraces typically a non-aromatic, saturated or unsaturated C3-C7 carbocyclic ring system, preferably C5-C6 carbocyclic ring system, in which one or more, for example 1 , 2, 3 or 4 of the carbon atoms preferably 1 or 2 of the carbon atoms are replaced by a heteroatom selected from N, O and S. Examples of 3- to 7-membered heterocyclyl radicals include piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl or thiomorpholinyl.

Where a 3- to 7-membered heterocyclyl radical carries 2 or more substituents, the substituents may be the same or different.

As used herein, some of the atoms, radicals, moieties, chains and cycles present in the general structures of the invention are "optionally substituted". This means that these atoms, radicals, moieties, chains and cycles can be either unsubstituted or substituted in any position by one or more, for example 1 , 2, 3 or 4, substituents, whereby the hydrogen atoms bound to the unsubstituted atoms, radicals, moieties, chains and cycles are replaced by chemically acceptable atoms, radicals, moieties, chains and cycles. When two or more substituents are present, each substituent may be the same or different. The substituents are typically themselves unsubstituted. As used herein, the term halogen atom embraces chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine atoms. A halogen atom is typically a fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, most preferably chlorine or fluorine. The term halo when used as a prefix has the same meaning.

Also included within the scope of the invention are the isomers, polymorphs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, N-oxides, isotopes, solvates and prodrugs of the compounds of formula (I). Any reference to a compound of formula (I) throughout the present specification includes a reference to any isomer, polymorph, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, N-oxide, isotope, solvate or prodrug of such compound of formula (I).

Isomers

Compounds containing one or more chiral centre may be used in enantiomerically or diastereoisomerically pure form, in the form of racemic mixtures and in the form of mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. The compounds of Formula (I) as described and claimed encompass the racemic forms of the compounds as well as the individual enantiomers, diastereomers, and stereoisomer-enriched mixtures.

Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound contains an acidic or basic moiety, an acid or base such as tartaric acid or 1 -phenylethylamine. The resulting diastereoisomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to one skilled in the art. Chiral compounds of the invention (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0 to 50% isopropanol, typically from 2 to 20%, and from 0 to 5% of an alkylamine, typically 0.1 % diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. Stereoisomer conglomerates may be separated by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art. See, e.g. "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds" by Ernest L. Eliel (Wiley, New York, 1994).

Atropisomers are stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about single bonds where the steric strain barrier to rotation is high enough to allow for the isolation of the conformers. Oki (Oki, M; Topics in Stereochemistry 1983, 1 ) defined atropisomers as conformers that interconvert with a half-life of more than 1000 seconds at a given temperature. The scope of the invention as described and claimed encompasses the racemic forms of the compounds as well as the individual atropisomers (an atropisomer "substantially free" of its corresponding enantiomer) and stereoisomer-enriched mixtures, i.e. mixtures of atropisomers. Separation of atropisomers is possibly by chiral resolution methods such as selective crystallization. In an atropo-enantioselective or atroposelective synthesis one atropisomer is formed at the expense of the other. Atroposelective synthesis may be carried out by use of chiral auxiliaries like a Corey-Bakshi-Shibata (CBS) catalyst (asymmetric catalyst derived from proline) in the total synthesis of knipholone or by approaches based on thermodynamic equilibration when an isomerization reaction favors one atropisomer over the other.

The compounds of Formula (I) may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism and structural isomerism. Tautomers exist as mixtures of a tautomeric set in solution. In solid form, usually one tautomer predominates. Even though one tautomer may be described, the present invention includes all tautomers of the compounds of Formula

(I)- Polymorphs

The compounds of formula (I) may exist in different physical forms, i.e. amorphous and crystalline forms.

Moreover, the compounds of the invention may have the ability to crystallize in more than one form, a characteristic which is known as polymorphism. Polymorphs can be distinguished by various physical properties well known in the art such as X-ray diffraction pattern, melting point or solubility. All physical forms of the compounds of formula (I), including all polymorphic forms ("polymorphs") or amorphous forms thereof, are included within the scope of the invention. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts

As used herein, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to a salt prepared from a base or acid which is acceptable for administration to a patient, such as a mammal. Such salts can be derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic bases and from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic or organic acids.

As used herein, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salt embraces salts with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base. Pharmaceutically acceptable acids include both inorganic acids, for example hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic and nitric acid; and organic acids, for example citric, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, mucic, ascorbic, oxalic, pantothenic, succinic, tartaric, benzoic, acetic, methanesulphonic, ethanesulphonic, benzenesulphonic, p-toluenesulphonic acid, xinafoic (1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid), napadisilic (1 ,5-naphthalenedisulfonic acid) and the like. Particularly preferred are salts derived from fumaric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, acetic, sulfuric, methanesulfonic, xinafoic, and tartaric acids. Salts derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc and the like. Particularly preferred are ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium salts. Salts derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable organic bases include salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, including alkyl amines, arylalkyl amines, heterocyclyl amines, cyclic amines, naturally-occurring amines and the like, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, Ν,Ν'-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2- diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N- ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like. Other preferred salts according to the invention are quaternary ammonium compounds wherein an equivalent of an anion (X-) is associated with the positive charge of the N atom. X- may be an anion of various mineral acids such as, for example, chloride, bromide, iodide, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, or an anion of an organic acid such as, for example, acetate, maleate, fumarate, citrate, oxalate, succinate, tartrate, malate, mandelate, trifluoroacetate, methanesulphonate and p-toluenesulphonate. X- is preferably an anion selected from chloride, bromide, iodide, sulphate, nitrate, acetate, maleate, oxalate, succinate or trifluoroacetate. More preferably X- is chloride, bromide, trifluoroacetate or methanesulphonate. N-oxides

As used herein, an N-oxide is formed from the tertiary basic amines or imines present in the molecule, using a convenient oxidising agent.

Isotopes

The invention also includes isotopically-labeled derivatives of the compounds of the invention, wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, such as 2H and 3H, carbon, such as 1 1 C, 13C and 14C, chlorine, such as 36CI, fluorine, such as 18F, iodine, such as 1231 and 1251, nitrogen, such as 13N and 15N, oxygen, such as 150, 170 and 180, phosphorus, such as 32P, and sulfur, such as 35S. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention, for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, 3H, and carbon-14, 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 1 1 C, 18F, 150 and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.

Isotopically-labeled derivatives of the compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described herein, using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.

Preferred isotopically-labeled derivatives include deuterated derivatives of the compounds of the invention. As used herein, the term deuterated derivative embraces compounds of the invention where in a particular position at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by deuterium. Deuterium (D or 2H) is a stable isotope of hydrogen which is present at a natural abundance of 0.015 molar %.

Solvates

The compounds of the invention may exist in both unsolvated and solvated forms. The term solvate is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising a compound of the invention and an amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules. The term hydrate is employed when said solvent is water. Examples of solvate forms include, but are not limited to, compounds of the invention in association with water, acetone, dichloromethane, 2-propanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or mixtures thereof. It is specifically contemplated that in the present invention one solvent molecule can be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a hydrate. Furthermore, it is specifically contemplated that in the present invention, more than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a dihydrate. Additionally, it is specifically contemplated that in the present invention less than one solvent molecule may be associated with one molecule of the compounds of the present invention, such as a hemihydrate. Furthermore, solvates of the present invention are contemplated as solvates of compounds of the present invention that retain the biological effectiveness of the non- solvate form of the compounds. Prodrugs

Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also within the scope of the invention. Thus certain derivatives of the compounds of the present invention, which derivatives may have little or no pharmacological activity themselves, when administered into or onto the body may be converted into compounds of the present invention having the desired activity, for example, by hydrolytic cleavage. Such derivatives are referred to as 'prodrugs'. Further information on the use of prodrugs may be found in Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14, ACS Symposium Series (T. Higuchi and W. Stella) and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (ed. E. B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association).

Prodrugs in accordance with the invention can, for example, be produced by replacing appropriate functionalities present in the compounds of the present invention with certain moieties known to those skilled in the art as 'pro-moieties' as described, for example, in Design of Prodrugs by H. Bundgaard (Elsevier, 1985).

As used herein, the term PI3Kd inhibitor generally refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of the PI3Kd isoform more effectively than other isoforms of the PI3K family.

As used herein, the term PI3Kd/g inhibitor generally refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of both the PI3Kd isoform and the PI3Kg isoform more effectively than other isoforms of the PI3K family.

The relative efficacies of compounds as inhibitors of an enzyme activity (or other biological activity) can be established by determining the concentrations at which each compound inhibits the activity to a predefined extent and then comparing the results. Typically, the preferred determination is the concentration that inhibits 50% of the activity in a biochemical assay, i.e., the 50% inhibitory concentration or "IC50." IC50 determinations can be accomplished using conventional techniques known in the art. In general, an IC50 can be determined by measuring the activity of a given enzyme in the presence of a range of concentrations of the inhibitor under study. The experimentally obtained values of enzyme activity then are plotted against the inhibitor concentrations used. The concentration of the inhibitor that shows 50% enzyme activity (as compared to the activity in the absence of any inhibitor) is taken as the IC50 value.

Accordingly, a PI3Kd inhibitor alternatively can be understood to refer to a compound that exhibits a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) with respect to PI3Kd that is at least of less than about 100 μΜ, preferably of less than about 50 μΜ, more preferably of less than about 20 μΜ, even more preferably of less than about 10 μΜ PI3K HTRF assay (as described in Gray et al. Anal Biochem, 2003; 313: 234-45).

X represents a CH group and Y represents a nitrogen atom;

GENERAL SYNTHETIC METHODS

The compounds of the invention can be prepared using the methods and procedures described herein, or using similar methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given; other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.

Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. The choice of a suitable protecting group for a particular functional group, as well as suitable conditions for protection and deprotection, are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups, and their introduction and removal are described in T. W. Greene and G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley, New York, 1999, and references cited therein.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, compounds of general Formula (I) may be prepared by the synthetic route illustrated in Scheme 1 , from compounds of general Formula (II) where Zi represents an halogen by treatment with compounds of Formula (III) where Z2 represents a boronic acid or ester using standard Suzuki coupling conditions.

Alternatively, compounds of Formula (I) can be obtained from compounds of general Formula (II) where Zi represents a boronic acid or ester by treatment with compounds of Formula (III) where Z2 represents an halogen using also standard Suzuki coupling conditions.

All boronic acids or esters can be prepared from the corresponding halogenated derivatives by treatment with standard reagents well known for those skilled in the art, such as 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1 ,3,2-dioxaborolane or bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of a palladium catalyst such as bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene-palladium (ll)dichloromethane complex, an appropriate base such as potassium carbonate and in a suitable solvent such as dioxane at a temperature ranging from 60°C to 120°C.

In addition, compounds of general Formula (III) can be prepared by reductive amination from compounds of general Formula (IV) where Z3 is a carboxaldehyde and the corresponding amines of general Formula (V) as is shown in Scheme 2, with the presence of a reducing agent such as sodium triacetoxyborohydride and in a solvent such as dichloroethane or methanol. Alternatively, compounds of general Formula (III) can be prepared by nucleophilic substitution from compounds of general Formula (IV) where Z3 is a methylene group attached to a leaving group by treatment with the corresponding amine of general Formula (V) with or without the presence of a base and in a solvent such as ethanol or methanol.

In another embodiment of the present invention, compounds of general Formula (I) may be prepared by the synthetic route illustrated in Scheme 3, from compounds of general Formula (VI) by treatment with compounds of general Formula (V) using the same general methods as described for compounds of Formula (III).

Finally, compounds of general Formula (VI) may be prepared by standard Suzuki conditions well known for those skilled in the art, from an halogenated derivative of general Formula (II) and a boronic acid or ester of general Formula (IV) or the other way around.

As explained in the general description some intermediates were prepared using the methods and procedures described in WO2014060432A1 .

Reagents, starting materials, and solvents were purchased from commercial suppliers and used as received. Concentration or evaporation refers to evaporation under vacuum using a Buchi rotatory evaporator.

Reaction products were purified, when necessary, in a Biotage SP1 ® automated purification system. Purifications in normal phase were made in the solvent system as indicated. Purifications in reverse phase were made using a Cie column and two different methods depending on the compound. Method A consist of a gradient of water-acetonitrile/MeOH (1 : 1 ) (0.1 % v/v ammonium formate both phases) from 0% to 100% acetonitrile/MeOH (1 : 1 ) in 40 column volumes. Method B consist of a gradient of water-acetonitrile (0.1 % v/v formic acid both phases) from 0% to 100% acetonitrile in 40 column volumes. The appropriate fractions were collected and the solvents evaporated under reduced pressure and/or lyophilized.

Preparative HPLC-MS were performed on a Waters instrument equipped with a 2767 injector/collector, a 2525 binary gradient pump, a 2996 PDA detector, a 515 pump as a make-up pump and a ZQ4000 Mass spectrometer detector or on a Agilent 1200 Series coupled to an Agilent 6120 Mass spectrometer detector. Both systems were equipped with a Symmetry Prep Cie (19 x 300 mm, 7 μιη) column or a XBridge Prep Cie (19 x 100 mm, 5 μιη) column. The mobile phase was formic acid (0.4 mL), ammonia (0.1 mL), methanol (500 mL) and acetonitrile (500 mL) (B) and formic acid (0.5 mL), ammonia (0.125 mL) and water (1000 mL) (A), the specific gradients used are specified in each particular case. The flow rate was 20 mL/min.

Purity and MS identification was performed in a Waters 2795 system coupled to a 2996 Diode array detector and to a Waters ZQ mass spectrometer detector or in a Waters Acquity UPLC system coupled to a SQD mass spectrometer detector. The injection volume was 5 microliter on the H PLC and 0.5 microliter on the UPLC. Chromatograms were processed at 210 nM or 254 nM. Mass spectra of the chromatograms were acquired using positive and negative electrospray ionization. The mobile phase was formic acid (0.4 mL), ammonia (0.1 mL), methanol (500 mL) and acetonitrile (500 mL) (B) and formic acid (0.5 mL), ammonia (0.125 mL) and water (1000 mL) (A) and a gradient between 0 to 95% of B was used. Columns: HPLC: Waters Symmetry (2.1 x50mm, 3.5 μιη); UPLC: ACQUITY UPLC BEH C-18 (2.1 x50mm, 1 .7 [im) 1 H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra were recorded on a Varian Mercury plus operating at a frequency of 400 MHz for the 1 H spectra. Samples were dissolved in the specified deuterated solvent. Tetramethylsilane was used as reference.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

PI3K α, β, δ and γ Enzymatic Inhibition Assays

Compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit PI3Ka (PI3Ka), ΡΙ3Κβ (PI3Kb), PI3K5 (PI3Kd) and ΡΙ3Κγ (PI3Kg) using a cell-free based PI3K HTRF assay (Millipore, ref. #33-017).

PI-3 Kinase HTRF kit (ref. #33-037) and the different PI3K recombinant isoforms (ref. #14-602, ref. #14-603, ref .#14-604, ref .#15-558 for Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma respectively) were purchased at Millipore (expressed in insect cells). ATP was purchased at Sigma Aldrich (ref. #A7699).

The compounds were pre-incubated with the enzyme for 30 min before starting of the catalytic reaction. [PIP2] was used at its Km. [ATP] was used at 15 μΜ for all isoforms for technical reasons (Km values varied between 10 and 20 μΜ depending on the isoform). Time of assay and [Enzyme] were optimized to work in the linear rang and Detection mixtures were used as specified in the Millipore PI-3 Kinase kit.

• Final Assay conditions

Reaction time and enzyme concentration in the assay will depend of each batch.

All experiments were analysed using Activity Base software from IDBS and the four- parameter log equation. The results are shown in Table 1.

The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions which comprise, as an active ingredient, at least a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or N-oxide, or isotopically-labeled derivative thereof in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient such as a carrier or diluent. The active ingredient may comprise 0.001 % to 99% by weight, preferably 0.01 % to 90% by weight, of the composition depending upon the nature of the formulation and whether further dilution is to be made prior to application. Preferably the compositions are made up in a form suitable for oral, inhalation, topical, nasal, rectal, percutaneous or injectable administration.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the delivery of compounds of the invention and methods for their preparation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such compositions and methods for their preparation can be found, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21 st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa., 2001 . The pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are admixed with the active compound or salts of such compound, to form the compositions of this invention are well-known per se and the actual excipients used depend inter alia on the intended method of administering the compositions. Examples, without limitation, of excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils and polyethylene glycols.

Additional suitable carriers for formulations of the compounds of the present invention can be found in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21 st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa., 2001 . i) Oral Administration

The compounds of the invention may be administered orally (peroral administration; per os (latin)). Oral administration involve swallowing, so that the compound is absorbed from the gut and delivered to the liver via the portal circulation (hepatic first pass metabolism) and finally enters the gastrointestinal (Gl) tract.

Compositions for oral administration may take the form of tablets, retard tablets, sublingual tablets, capsules, inhalation aerosols, inhalation solutions, dry powder inhalation, or liquid preparations, such as mixtures, solutions, elixirs, syrups or suspensions, all containing the compound of the invention; such preparations may be made by methods well-known in the art. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste. ii) Oral mucosal administration

The compounds of the invention can also be administered via the oral mucosal. Within the oral mucosal cavity, delivery of drugs is classified into three categories: (a) sublingual delivery, which is systemic delivery of drugs through the mucosal membranes lining the floor of the mouth, (b) buccal delivery, which is drug

administration through the mucosal membranes lining the cheeks (buccal mucosa), and (c) local delivery, which is drug delivery into the oral cavity. iii) Inhaled administration

The compounds of the invention can also be administered by inhalation, typically in the form of a dry powder (either alone, as a mixture, for example, in a dry blend with lactose, or as a mixed component particle, for example, mixed with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine) from a dry powder inhaler or as an aerosol spray from a pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer (preferably an atomizer using

electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist), or nebulizer, with or without the use of a suitable propellant, such as 1 ,1 ,1 ,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1 ,1 ,1 ,2,3,3,3- heptafluoropropane. For intranasal use, the powder may include a bioadhesive agent, for example, chitosan or cyclodextrin.

Dry powder compositions for topical delivery to the lung by inhalation may, for example, be presented in capsules and cartridges of for example gelatine or blisters of for example laminated aluminium foil, for use in an inhaler or insufflator. Formulations generally contain a powder mix for inhalation of the compound of the invention and a suitable powder base (carrier substance) such as lactose or starch. Use of lactose is preferred. Each capsule or cartridge may generally contain between 0.001 -50 mg, more preferably 0.01-5 mg of active ingredient or the equivalent amount of a

pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Alternatively, the active ingredient (s) may be presented without excipients.

Packaging of the formulation may be suitable for unit dose or multi-dose delivery. In the case of multi- dose delivery, the formulation can be pre-metered or metered in use. Dry powder inhalers are thus classified into three groups: (a) single dose, (b) multiple unit dose and (c) multi dose devices.

For inhalers of the first type, single doses have been weighed by the manufacturer into small containers, which are mostly hard gelatine capsules. A capsule has to be taken from a separate box or container and inserted into a receptacle area of the inhaler. Next, the capsule has to be opened or perforated with pins or cutting blades in order to allow part of the inspiratory air stream to pass through the capsule for powder entrainment or to discharge the powder from the capsule through these perforations by means of centrifugal force during inhalation. After inhalation, the emptied capsule has to be removed from the inhaler again. Mostly, disassembling of the inhaler is necessary for inserting and removing the capsule, which is an operation that can be difficult and burdensome for some patients. Other drawbacks related to the use of hard gelatine capsules for inhalation powders are (a) poor protection against moisture uptake from the ambient air, (b) problems with opening or perforation after the capsules have been exposed previously to extreme relative humidity, which causes fragmentation or indenture, and (c) possible inhalation of capsule fragments. Moreover, for a number of capsule inhalers, incomplete expulsion has been reported (e. g. Nielsen et al, 1997).

Some capsule inhalers have a magazine from which individual capsules can be transferred to a receiving chamber, in which perforation and emptying takes place, as described in WO 92/03175. Other capsule inhalers have revolving magazines with capsule chambers that can be brought in line with the air conduit for dose discharge (e. g. WO91/02558 and GB 2242134). They comprise the type of multiple unit dose inhalers together with blister inhalers, which have a limited number of unit doses in supply on a disk or on a strip. Blister inhalers provide better moisture protection of the medicament than capsule inhalers. Access to the powder is obtained by perforating the cover as well as the blister foil, or by peeling off the cover foil. When a blister strip is used instead of a disk, the number of doses can be increased, but it is inconvenient for the patient to replace an empty strip. Therefore, such devices are often disposable with the incorporated dose system, including the technique used to transport the strip and open the blister pockets.

Multi-dose inhalers do not contain pre-measured quantities of the powder formulation. They consist of a relatively large container and a dose measuring principle that has to be operated by the patient. The container bears multiple doses that are isolated individually from the bulk of powder by volumetric displacement. Various dose measuring principles exist, including rotatable membranes (Ex. EP0069715) or disks (Ex. GB 2041763; EP 0424790; DE 4239402 and EP 0674533), rotatable cylinders (Ex. EP 0166294; GB 2165159 and WO 92/09322) and rotatable frustums (Ex. WO

92/00771 ), all having cavities which have to be filled with powder from the container. Other multi dose devices have measuring slides (Ex. US 5201308 and WO 97/00703) or measuring plungers with a local or circumferential recess to displace a certain volume of powder from the container to a delivery chamber or an air conduit (Ex. EP 0505321 , WO 92/04068 and WO 92/04928), or measuring slides such as the Genuair® (formerly known as Novolizer SD2FL), which is described the following patent applications Nos: WO97/000703, WO03/000325 and WO2006/008027.

Apart from applications through dry powder inhalers the compositions of the invention can be administered in aerosols which operate via propellant gases or by means of so- called atomisers, via which solutions of pharmacologically-active substances can be sprayed under high pressure so that a mist of inhalable particles results. The advantage of these atomisers is that the use of propellant gases can be completely dispensed with. Such atomiser is the Respimat® which is described, for example, in PCT Patent Applications Nos. W0 91/14468 and WO 97/12687, reference here is being made to the contents thereof. Spray compositions for topical delivery to the lung by inhalation may for example be formulated as aqueous solutions or suspensions or as aerosols delivered from pressurised packs, such as a metered dose inhaler, with the use of a suitable liquefied propellant. Aerosol compositions suitable for inhalation can be either a suspension or a solution and generally contain the active ingredient (s) and a suitable propellant such as a fluorocarbon or hydrogen-containing chlorofluorocarbon or mixtures thereof, particularly hydrofluoroalkanes, e. g. dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetra-fluoroethane, especially 1 ,1 , 1 , 2-tetrafluoroethane, 1 ,1 , 1 ,2, 3,3, 3- heptafluoro-n-propane or a mixture thereof. Carbon dioxide or other suitable gas may also be used as propellant.

The aerosol composition may be excipient free or may optionally contain additional formulation excipients well known in the art such as surfactants (eg oleic acid or lecithin) and cosolvens (eg ethanol). Pressurised formulations will generally be retained in a canister (eg an aluminium canister) closed with a valve (eg a metering valve) and fitted into an actuator provided with a mouthpiece.

Medicaments for administration by inhalation desirably have a controlled particle size. The optimum particle size for inhalation into the bronchial system is usually 1 -10 μΐη, preferably 2-5 μΐη. Particles having a size above 20 μΐη are generally too large when inhaled to reach the small airways. To achieve these particle sizes the particles of the active ingredient as produced may be size reduced by conventional means eg by micronisation. The desired fraction may be separated out by air classification or sieving. Preferably, the particles will be crystalline.

Achieving high dose reproducibility with micronised powders is difficult because of their poor flowability and extreme agglomeration tendency. To improve the efficiency of dry powder compositions, the particles should be large while in the inhaler, but small when discharged into the respiratory tract. Thus, an excipient such as lactose or glucose is generally employed. The particle size of the excipient will usually be much greater than the inhaled medicament within the present invention. When the excipient is lactose it will typically be present as milled lactose, preferably crystalline alpha lactose monohydrate. iv) Nasal mucosal administration

The compounds of the invention may also be administered via the nasal mucosal. Typical compositions for nasal mucosa administration are typically applied by a metering, atomizing spray pump and are in the form of a solution or suspension in an inert vehicle such as water optionally in combination with conventional excipients such as buffers, anti-microbials, tonicity modifying agents and viscosity modifying agents. v) Parenteral Administration

The compounds of the invention may also be administered directly into the blood stream, into muscle, or into an internal organ. Suitable means for parenteral administration include intravenous, intraarterial, intraperitoneal, intrathecal,

intraventricular, intraurethral, intrasternal, intracranial, intramuscular and

subcutaneous. Suitable devices for parenteral administration include needle (including microneedle) injectors, needle-free injectors and infusion techniques.

Parenteral formulations are typically aqueous solutions which may contain excipients such as salts, carbohydrates and buffering agents (preferably to a pH of from 3 to 9), but, for some applications, they may be more suitably formulated as a sterile nonaqueous solution or as a dried form to be used in conjunction with a suitable vehicle such as sterile, pyrogen-free water.

The preparation of parenteral formulations under sterile conditions, for example, by lyophilization, may readily be accomplished using standard pharmaceutical techniques well known to those skilled in the art. vi) Topical Administration

The compounds of the invention may also be administered topically to the skin or mucosa, that is, dermally or transdermally. Typical formulations for this purpose include gels, hydrogels, lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings, foams, films, skin patches, wafers, implants, sponges, fibers, bandages and microemulsions. Liposomes may also be used. Typical carriers include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Penetration enhancers may be incorporated; see, for example, J Pharm Sci, 88 (10), 955-958 by Finnin and Morgan (October 1999). Other means of topical administration include delivery by electroporation, iontophoresis,

phonophoresis, sonophoresis and microneedle or needle-free injection. vii) Rectal/lntravaginal Administration

Compounds of the invention may be administered rectally or vaginally, for example, in the form of a suppository, pessary, or enema. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various alternatives may be used as appropriate. viii) Ocular Administration

Compounds of the invention may also be administered directly to the eye or ear, typically in the form of drops of a micronized suspension or solution in isotonic, pH- adjusted, sterile saline. Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration include ointments, biodegradable {e.g. absorbable gel sponges, collagen) and nonbiodegradable (e.g. silicone) implants, wafers, lenses and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or liposomes. A polymer such as crossed-linked polyacrylic acid, polyvinylalcohol, hyaluronic acid, a cellulosic polymer, for example,

hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, or methyl cellulose, or a heteropolysaccharide polymer, for example, gelan gum, may be incorporated together with a preservative, such as benzalkonium chloride. Such formulations may also be delivered by iontophoresis. ix) Other Technologies

Compounds of the invention may be combined with soluble macromolecular entities, such as cyclodextrin and suitable derivatives thereof or polyethylene glycol-containing polymers, in order to improve their solubility, dissolution rate, taste-masking, bioavailability and/or stability for use in any of the aforementioned modes of administration. The amount of the active compound administered will be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the disorder or condition, the rate of administration, the disposition of the compound and the discretion of the prescribing physician. However, an effective dosage is typically in the range of 0.01-3000 mg, more preferably 0.5-1000 mg of active ingredient or the equivalent amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof per day. Daily dosage may be administered in one or more treatments, preferably from 1 to 4 treatments, per day.

Preferably, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are made up in a form suitable inhaled or topical administration, being particularly preferred the inhaled administration.

The pharmaceutical formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.

Preferably the composition is in unit dosage form, for example a tablet, capsule or metered aerosol dose, so that the patient may administer a single dose.

The amount of each active which is required to achieve a therapeutic effect will, of course, vary with the particular active, the route of administration, the subject under treatment, and the particular disorder or disease being treated.
