SUBSTITUTED PYRROLOTRIAZINES AS PROTEIN KINASE INHIBITORS

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 61/319,562 filed March 31, 2010.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention relates to novel substituted pyrrolotriazine compounds useful as protein kinase inhibitors. The invention also relates to methods of using the compounds in the treatment of proliferative and other types of diseases and to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention relates to fused heterocyclic compounds which inhibit protein kinase enzymes, compositions which contain protein kinase inhibiting compounds and methods of using inhibitors of protein kinase enzymes to treat diseases which are characterized by an overexpression or upregulation of protein kinases. Protein kinases mediate intracellular signal transduction. They do this by effecting a phosphoryl transfer from a nucleoside triphosphate to a protein acceptor that is involved in a signaling pathway. There are a number of kinases and pathways through which extracellular and other stimuli cause a variety of cellular responses to occur inside the cell. An extracellular stimulus may effect one or more cellular responses related to cell growth, migration, differentiation, secretion of hormones, activation of transcription factors, muscle contraction, glucose metabolism, control of protein synthesis and regulation of cell cycle.

[0004] Many diseases are associated with abnormal cellular responses triggered by protein kinase-mediated events. These diseases include autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, allergies and asthma, Alzheimer's disease or hormone-related diseases. Accordingly, there has been a substantial effort in medicinal chemistry to find protein kinase inhibitors that are effective as therapeutic agents. [0005] Serine/threonine kinases are a class of protein kinases that are among the most promising drug targets for future small molecule inhibitors. Inhibition of serine/threonine kinases is likely to have relevance to the treatment of cancer, diabetes and a variety of inflammatory disorders. The successful development of GLEEVEC® as a Bcr/Abl protein kinase inhibitor has provided further evidence that protein kinases including protein kinase CK2 are valid drug targets for potential cancer therapies.

[0006] Protein kinase CK2 (formerly known as casein kinase IT) is a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase. Protein kinase CK2 is ubiquitously distributed and constitutively active in eukaryotes. In mammals, the enzyme exists in two isozymic forms due to variations in the catalytic subunits of the enzyme. The CK2 holoenzyme is a heterotetrameric complex composed of two catalytic a (CK2A1) subunits or a' (CK2A2) subunits and two regulatory β-subunits. The formation of CK2 complexes containing the catalytic subunits requires dimerization of the regulatory β-subunits. CK2 interacts with a variety of cellular proteins and has been implicated in cell replication such as cell proliferation and differentiation, cellular survival, and tumorigenesis. With respect to tumorigenesis, protein kinase CK2 has been implicated in kidney tumors (Stalter et al., "Asymmetric expression of protein kinase CK2 subunits in human kidney tumors", Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 202: 141- 147 (1994)), mammary gland tumors (Landesman-Bollag et al., "Protein kinase CK2 in mammaiy gland tumorigenesis", Oncology, 20:3247-3257 (2001)), lung carcinoma (Daya-Makin et al., "Activation of a tumor-associated protein kinase (p40TAK) and casein kinase II in human squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the lung", Cancer Res., 54:2262-2268 (1994)), head and neck carcinoma (Faust et al., "Antisense oligonucleotides against protein kinase CK2-a inhibit growth of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in vitro", Head Neck, 22:341-346 (2000)), and prostate cancer (Wang et al., "Role of protein kinase CK2 in the regulation of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells", Cancer Res., 66:2242-2249 (2006)).

[0007] Inhibitors of protein kinases are widely sought and small molecule compounds capable of modulating protein kinases have been reported. In particular, pyrrolotriazine derivatives have been described in patent literature such as PCT publications WO 2005/097052, WO 2007/087395, WO 2008/089105, WO

2009/008992, WO 2009/009016, WO 2009/023179, WO2009/136966, and European patents EP 1674467 and EP 1149583. In addition, PCT publications WO 2000/71 129 and WO 2004/013145, which are assigned to the present assignee, disclose pyrrolotriazine compounds useful as VEGF receptor inhibitors. The present invention relates to a new class of pyrrolotriazines found to be effective inhibitors of protein kinases, particularly the CK2 kinase. These novel compounds are provided to be useful as pharmaceuticals with desirable stability, bioavailability, therapeutic index and toxicity values that are important to their drugability.

Preferred bridges are one or two carbon atoms. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a tricyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge. Preferred carbocycles, unless otherwise specified, are cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl, and indanyl. When the term "carbocycle,"

"carbocyclic residue," or "carbocyclyl" is used, it is intended to include "aryl". [0057] The term "aryl" refers to monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 6 to 15 carbon atoms in the ring portion, such as phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl and diphenyl groups, each of which may be substituted. Aryl groups which are bicyclic or tricyclic must include at least one fully aromatic ring but the other fused ring or rings may be aromatic or non-aromatic.

[0067] Bridged rings are also included in the definition of heterocycle. A bridged ring occurs when one or more atoms (i.e., C, O, N, or S) link two non-adjacent carbon or nitrogen atoms. Preferred bridges include, but are not limited to, one carbon atom, two carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom, two nitrogen atoms, and a carbon-nitrogen group. It is noted that a bridge always converts a monocyclic ring into a tricyclic ring. When a ring is bridged, the substituents recited for the ring may also be present on the bridge.

[0068] The term "heteroaryl" refers to substituted and unsubstituted aromatic 5- or 6-membered monocyclic groups, 9- or 10-membered bicyclic groups, and 11- to 14-membered tricyclic groups which have at least one heteroatom (O, S or N) in at least one of the rings, said heteroatom-containing ring preferably having 1, 2, or 3 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N. Each ring of the heteroaryl group containing a heteroatom can contain one or two oxygen or sulfur atoms and/or from one to four nitrogen atoms provided that the total number of heteroatoms in each ring is four or less and each ring has at least one carbon atom. Heteroaryl groups can be substituted or unsubstituted. The nitrogen atom may be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e., N or NR wherein R is H or another substituent, if defined). The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N→0 and S(0) _p ) and the nitrogen atoms may optionally be quaternized.

[0069] Heteroaryl groups which are bicyclic or tricyclic must include at least one fully aromatic ring but the other fused ring or rings may be aromatic or non-aromatic. The heteroaryl group may be attached at any available nitrogen or carbon atom of any ring. The heteroaryl ring system may contain zero, one, two or three substituents.

[0073] The term "heteroatoms" shall include oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen.

[0074] As referred to herein, the term "substituted" means that one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with a non-hydrogen group, provided that normal valencies are maintained and that the substitution results in a stable compound. When a substituent is keto (i.e., =0), then 2 hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Keto substituents are not present on aromatic moieties. When a ring system (e.g., carbocyclic or heterocyclic) is said to be substituted with a carbonyl group or a double bond, it is intended that the carbonyl group or double bond be part (i.e., within) of the ring. Ring double bonds, as used herein, are double bonds that are formed between two adjacent ring atoms (e.g., C=C, C=N, or N=N).

[0075] When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-3 R _e , then said group may optionally be substituted with up to three R _e groups and R _e at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R _e . Also, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

[0083] In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of different forms of treatment to treat each patient with cancer. In medical oncology the other component(s) of such treatment in addition to the antiproliferative treatment defined herein may be surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Such chemotherapy may cover three main categories of therapeutic agent:

(i) antiangiogenic agents that work by different mechanisms from those defined herein before (for example, linomide, inhibitors of integrin ανβ3 function, angiostatin, razoxane);

(ii) cytostatic agents such as antiestrogens (for example, tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene, droloxifene, iodoxifene), progestogens (for example, megestrol acetate), aromatase inhibitors (for example, anastrozole, letrozole, borazole, exemestane), antihormones, antiprogestogens, antiandrogens (for example, flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate), LHRH agonists and antagonists (for example, gosereline acetate, leuprolide), inhibitors of testosterone 5 a- dihydroreductase (for example, finasteride), farnesyltransferase inhibitors, anti- invasion agents (for example, metalloproteinase inhibitors such as marimastat and inhibitors of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor function) and inhibitors of growth factor function, (such growth factors include for example, EGF, FGF, platelet derived growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor, such inhibitors include growth factor antibodies, growth factor receptor antibodies such as AVASTIN®

(bevacizumab) and ERBITUX® (cetuximab); tyrosine kinase inhibitors and serine/threonine kinase inhibitors); and

[0084] As stated above, the Formula (I) compounds of the invention are of interest for their antiproliferative effects. Such compounds of the invention are expected to be useful in a wide range of disease states including cancer, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

[0085] More specifically, the compounds of Formula (I) are useful in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including (but not limited to) the following:

- carcinoma, including that of the prostate, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, breast, colon, lung, ovary, pancreas, and thyroid;

- tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, including

neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, and medulloblastoma; and

- other tumors, including melanoma and multiple myeloma. [0086] Due to the key role of kinases in the regulation of cellular proliferation in general, inliibitors could act as reversible cytostatic agents which may be useful in the treatment of any disease process which features abnormal cellular proliferation, e.g., benign prostate hyperplasia, familial adenomatosis polyposis, neurofibromatosis, pulmonary fibrosis, arthritis, psoriasis, glomerulonephritis, restenosis following angioplasty or vascular surgery, hypertrophic scar formation and inflammatory bowel disease.

[0087] The compounds of Formula (I) are especially useful in treatment of tumors having a high incidence of serine /threonine kinase activity, such as prostate, colon, brain, thyroid and pancreatic tumors. Additionally, the compounds of the invention may be useful in treatment of sarcomas and pediatric sarcomas. By the administration of a composition (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, development of tumors in a mammalian host is reduced.

[0088] Compounds of Formula (I) may also be useful in the treatment of other cancerous diseases (such as acute myelogenous leukemia) that may be associated with signal transduction pathways operating through kinases such as DYRKla, CDK, and GSK3p. The inventive compositions may contain other therapeutic agents as described above and may be formulated, for example, by employing conventional solid or liquid vehicles or diluents, as well as pharmaceutical additives of a type appropriate to the mode of desired administration {e.g., excipients, binders, preservatives, stabilizers, flavors, etc.) according to techniques such as those well known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation.

[0089] Accordingly, the present invention further includes compositions comprising one or more compounds of Formul a (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0090] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and, the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th Edition (1985), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0091] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations.

[0092] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

[0093] The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of sterile injectable aqueous solutions. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable oil-in-water microemulsion where the active ingredient is dissolved in the oily phase. For example, the active ingredient may be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulation. [0094] The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound. In order to maintain such a constant concentration, a continuous intravenous delivery device may be utilized. An example of such a device is the Deltec CADD-PLUS® Model 5400 intravenous pump.

[0095] The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above.

[0096] The compounds of Formula (I) may be administered by any means suitable for the condition to be treated, which may depend on the need for site- specific treatment or quantity of drug to be delivered. Topical administration is generally preferred for skin-related diseases, and systematic treatment preferred for cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions, although other modes of delivery are contemplated. For example, the compounds may be delivered orally, such as in the form of tablets, capsules, granules, powders, or liquid formulations including syrups; topically, such as in the form of solutions, suspensions, gels or ointments; sublingually; bucally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular or intrasternal injection or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aq. or non-aq. solutions or suspensions); nasally such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; rectally such as in the form of suppositories; or liposomally.

Dosage unit formulations containing non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or diluents may be administered. The compounds may be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release may be achieved with suitable pharmaceutical compositions or, particularly in the case of extended release, with devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps.

[0097] Exemplary compositions for topical administration include a topical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene). [0098] Exemplary compositions for oral administration include suspensions which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and immediate release tablets which may contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesium stearate and/or lactose and/or other excipients, binders, extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those known in the art. The inventive compounds may also be orally delivered by sublingual and/or buccal administration, e.g., with molded, compressed, or freeze- dried tablets. Exemplary compositions may include fast-dissolving diluents such as mannitol, lactose, sucrose, and/or cyclodextrins. Also included in such formulations may be high molecular weight excipients such as celluloses (AVICEL®) or polyethylene glycols (PEG); an excipient to aid mucosal adhesion such as hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC), and/or maleic anhydride copolymer (e.g., Gantrez); and agents to control release such as polyacrylic copolymer (e.g., Carbopol 934). Lubricants, glidants, flavors, coloring agents and stabilizers may also be added for ease of fabrication and use.

[0099] Exemplary compositions for nasal aerosol or inhalation administration include solutions which may contain, for example, benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance absorption and/or bioavailability, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents such as those known in the art.

[00100] Exemplary compositions for parenteral administration include injectable solutions or suspensions which may contain, for example, suitable non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, such as mannitol, 1,3-butanediol, water, Ringer's solution, an isotonic sodium chloride solution, or other suitable dispersing or wetting and suspending agents, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleic acid.

[00101] Exemplary compositions for rectal administration include suppositories which may contain, for example, suitable non-irritating excipients, such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquefy and/or dissolve in the rectal cavity to release the drug. [00102] When a compound according to this invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, sex and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms. Exemplary dosage amounts for a mammal may include from about 0.05 to 1000 mg/kg; 1-1000 mg/kg; 1-50 mg/kg; 5-250 mg/kg; 250-1000 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition. Preferred subjects for treatment include animals, most preferably mammalian species such as humans, and domestic animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and the like. Thus, when the term "patient" is used herein, this term is intended to include all subjects, most preferably mammalian species, that are affected by mediation of protein kinase enzyme levels.

[00103] If formulated as a fixed dose, a combination product can, for example, utilize a dosage of the compound of Formula (I) within the dosage range described above and the dosage of another anti-cancer agent/treatment within the approved dosage range for such known anti-cancer agent/treatment. If a combination product is inappropriate, the compounds of Formula (I) and the other anti-cancer agentftreatment can, for example, be administered simultaneously or sequentially. If administered sequentially, the present invention is not limited to any particular sequence of administration. For example, compounds of Formulas (I) can be administered either prior to, or after, administration of the known anti-cancer agent or treatment.

BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS

A. CK2 Kinase Assay

[00104] The effectiveness of compounds of the present invention as inhibitors of protein kinases can be readily tested by assays known to those skilled in the art. For example, in vitro protein kinase assays may be conducted with a relevant purified protein kinase and an appropriate synthetic substrate to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds. Assays for inhibition of CK2 by the instant compounds were performed in 384 -well plates with reaction mixtures containing 10 μΜ of peptide substrate (RRRADDSDDDDD-NH2), [γ- ³³ Ρ]ΑΤΡ (10 μθί) at 25 μΜ

(CK2A1) or 5 μΜ (CK2A2), 20 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl ₂ , 0.25 mM dithiothreitol, Brij-35 at 0.015%, and recombinant CK2A1 (10 nM, Invitrogen) or CK2A2 (5 nM, Upstate Biotechnology). R _e action mixtures were incubated at 30 °C for 1 hour, and reaction products were captured by binding to phosphocellulose (P81) filter plates. Incorporation of radioactive phosphate into the peptide substrate was determined by liquid scintillation counting. The potency of compounds in inhibiting CK2 is expressed as IC ₅₀ , defined as the concentrations of compounds required to inhibit the enzymatic activity by 50%.

[00105] The inhibitory activity of the instant compounds may also be measured by recombinant CK2 holoenzyme kinase assays. The assays were performed in U- bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μΐ prepared from 15 μΐ additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide FL-RRRADDSDDDDD- NH2 and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl _2, 100 mM NaCl, 0.015% Brij35 and 0.25 mM DTT). The reaction was initiated by the combination of bacterially expressed, CK2 α/β or CK2 α'/β holoenzyme with substrates and test compounds. The reaction was incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes and terminated by adding 30 μΐ of 35 mM EDTA to each sample. The reaction mixture was analyzed on the Caliper LABCHIP® 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, MA) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to no enzyme control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the CK2 α/β assay was 25 μΜ ATP, 1.5 μΜ FL- RRRADDSDDDDD-NH2, 50 pM CK2 α/β holoenzyme, and 1.6% DMSO. The final concentration of reagents in the CK2 α'/β assay was 10 μΜ ATP, 1.5 μΜ FL- RRRADDSDDDDD-NH2, 100 pM CK2 α7β holoenzyme, and 1.6% DMSO. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC ₅₀ ). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations. ICso values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.

B. Cell Proliferation Inhibition Assay

[0Θ106] Compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit cell proliferation, using an assay that measures mitochondrial metabolic activity, that is directly correlated with cell numbers. Cells were plated at 2000 cells/well in 96-well plates and were cultured for 24 h in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum, before test compounds were added. Compounds were diluted in culture medium such that the final concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide never exceeded 1%. Following the addition of compounds, the cells were cultured for an additional 72 h before cell viability was determined by measuring the conversion of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)- 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) dye using the CELLTITER 96® kit

(Promega) or by measuring the conversion of [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3- carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) dye using the CELLTITER 96® AQueous (Promega).

[00107] The following compounds were found to have the IC ₅₀ described in Table 1 when measured in the assays described above.

[00111] Compound (/) (Scheme 1, R = alkyl, e.g., an Ethyl group), prepared as described in U.S. Patent No. 7,514,435 can be converted by the action of a halogenating agent, preferably bromine or N-bromosuccinimide and catalytic TFA, in a solvent such as dichloromethane, to the halogenopyrrolotriazines (ii) (Xj = halogen). Treatment with an aqueous base such as an alkali metal hydroxide furnishes carboxylic acid (Hi) which can be converted to halogenopyrrolotriazine acid halides (iv) by the action of an agent such as thionyl chloride, generally with heating and addition of a catalytic amount of DMF (X ₂ = halogen). Other methods for the conversion of (if) to (Hi) could include hydrolysis with a strong acid or nucleophillic dealkylation.

Amides such as these are electrophillic, undergoing exchange to provide amides or hydrazides (vi) when heated with amines or hydrazines R ₁ NUR ₂ either neat or in a solvent. Conversion to compounds of Formula (I) is accomplished from (vi) by cross-coupling with an appropriate boronic acid, organozinc, organostannane or the like, preferably using the conditions of Suzuki.

[00112] Scheme 2 describes further methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula (I). eme 2

[00113] Triazinone esters (ii) (preparation shown in Scheme 1) can be converted to a halogenopyrrolotriazines (vii) by the action of an agent such as thionyl chloride, generally with heating (Y = halogen). Nucleophillic aromatic substitution occurs upon treatment with ammonia or a primary amine, providing pyrrolotriazine amino ester iyiii). Transformation to the carboxylic acids (be) is accomplished as in Scheme 1. These carboxylic acids can be converted to amides or hydrazides (vi) using amines or hydrazines RiNHR ₂ , a coupling reagent such as BOP and a tertiary amine base in a solvent such as DMF. The use of such peptide coupling reagents has been reviewed by Han, S-Y et al., Tetrahedron, 60:2447-2467 (2004). Conversion to compounds of Formula (I) is accomplished as in Scheme 1. [00114] Scheme 3 describes further methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula (Γ).

[00115] As shown in Scheme 3, triazinone esters (viii) (preparation shown in Scheme 2) or homologous esters can be converted to amides (vi) by heating with amines R ₁ NHR ₂ either neat or in a solvent. Conversion to compounds of Formula (I) is accomplished as in Scheme 1. Alternatively, the order of these two steps could be reversed, with intermediate (viii) undergoing a Suzuki or related coupling to provide intermediate (x) which undergoes aminolysis with an amine of the form RiNHR ₂ to provide compounds of the invention.

[00116] Scheme 4 describes further methodology for the preparation of compounds of Formula I.

[00117] Halotriazinone acid (ix) (preparation shown in Scheme 2) can be converted to the cross-coupled product (xi) using the conditions described for conversion of (vi) to Formula (I) in Scheme 1. Conversion of (xi) to compounds of Formula (I) is accomplished using the peptide coupling conditions described for the conversion of (ix) to (vi) in Scheme 2. [00118] Compounds of Formula (I) or suitably-protected derivatives thereof (For the use of protecting groups in organic synthesis see: Greene, T.W. et al., eds., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley-Interscience, New York (1999)) can be deprotected to afford further compounds of Formula (I).

Additionally, these deprotected compounds may undergo further elaboration by methods familiar to those proficient in the art of organic/medicinal chemistry. Such transformations may include, but are not limited to, reaction with chloroformates, isocyanates, sulfonyl halides, acid halides or activated esters, alkyl

halides/mesylates/tosylates and the like, reductive aminations, and Mitsunobu (see Hughes, D.L., Organic Preparations and Procedures International, 28: 127-164 (1996)) reactions. Some of these transformations are illustrated in the following schemes.

[00119] Scheme 5 shows the elaboration of carboxylic acid intermediates such as (xi) by coupling with mono-protected difunctional compounds such as diamines then deprotection to afford species such as (xiii). The range of connectivity (illustrated by a circle) between the functional groups is further defined below and in the claims. The scope of the reaction should allow incorporation of symmetrical or

unsymrnetrical and linear or cyclic diamines. Additionally, diamines with substituents, stereogenic centers, or incorporated heteroatoms on the ring or chain could be introduced by this methodology. Alternatively, the coupling could be performed to afford (xiii) directly using an aminoalcohol or excess of an unprotected diamine. R _e action of nucleophillic species such as (xiii) with electrophiles affords additional compounds of the invention. For example, an amine (xiii) could undergo amide bond formation to provide compounds of the invention under conditions described above. The scope of the reaction could, however, include additional reactions of amines, alcohols, or other nucleophiles with electrophiles as discussed above, all of which are familiar to those proficient in the art of organic/medicinal chemistry.

[00120] Carboxylic acid intermediates such as (xf) can be coupled with amines bearing functional groups which can be further derivatized such as carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones and the like or protected versions thereof. An example of this is provided in Scheme 6, wherein (xv) are prepared and saponified to provide carboxylic acids such as (xvi). As in Scheme 5, the range of connectivity (illustrated by a circle) between the functional groups is further defined below and exemplified in the specification. The scope of the reaction should allow incorporation of symmetrical or un symmetrical and linear or cyclic amines. Additionally, amines with substituents, stereogenic centers, or incorporated heteroatoms on the ring or chain could be introduced by this methodology. Coupling with electrophiles such as amines affords additional compounds of the invention. Further, such esters and acids may be converted to alcohols, ketones, or aldehydes which may be compounds of the invention or which may serve as intermediates for conversion into compounds of the invention using transformations familiar to those skilled in the art of

organic/medicinal chemistry. Such transformations could include, but are not limited to, alkylations, Wittig reactions, and addition of organometallic reagents or other carbon or heteroatom-based nucleophiles.

[00121] Further compounds of the invention may be prepared by the procedures outlined in Scheme 7. Incorporation of a protected amine onto the triazine core

(Stepl) furnishes protected aminopyrrolotriazines xvii (R" = protecting group). It is often necessary to incorporate functional groups such as alcohols, amines, and acyl groups and the like in protected form in order to facilitate further manipulations. Conditions for incorporation of protecting groups as well as their selective removal are known to those of ordinary skill in the art of organic chemistry. Conversion of xvii (preferably X = Br or I) into carboxyhc acid, ester, or related acyl intermediates xviii (Step2) may be accomplished through metal-halogen exchange followed by quenching with an electrophile such as C0 ₂ , DMF or a related carboxamide, or a chloroformate or related acyl. An alternative method for this transformation is the palladium (or related metal)-catalyzed carbonylation. Carboxyhc acids xviii are useful intermediates for elaboration into compounds of the invention or advanced intermediates xix through reactions such as the coupling with a hydrazine or related protected or alkylated/acylated fragment. (Step 3) Transformation of esters xix into carboxamides xx (Step 4) is accomplished as described in the preceeding schemes, for instance by direct nucleophilic addition of amine R]R ₂ NH to the ester or by saponification followed by an amide coupling reaction. In Step 5 any protecting groups are removed, and the hydrazide or related group is cyclized to furnish compounds of the invention. Such cyclizations could proceed by treatment of a free hydrazide with CDL phosgene, or a related acyl equivalent or via heating or treatment of an acylated or similarly-derivatized hydrazide with acid or base. Additional compounds of the invention may be prepared by performing further transformations on the heteroaromatic R ₃ group. It is further understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that some cases the sequence of the above steps may be altered or various transformations may be telescoped (combined into a one-pot process).

EXAMPLES

[00123] The invention is now described with reference to the following examples. These examples are provided for the purpose of illustration only and the invention should in no way be construed as being limited to these examples but rather should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teaching provided herein. Analytical Methods

[00124] Air- or moisture-sensitive reactions were performed under an atmosphere of nitrogen in anhydrous solvents (EMD DRISOLV®) and were monitored for completeness by thin layer chromatography (TLC) or tandem liquid chromatography- mass spectroscopy (LCMS). For TLC, 0.25 mm plates coated with Silica60/F254 were used with visualization by UV light at 254 nM, exposure to iodine vapor, or heating with PMA (phosphomolybdic acid solution), ninhydrin in ethanol, anisaldehyde solution, or eerie ammonium molybdate solution. Unless otherwise specified, "dried" refers to the addition of anhydrous MgS0 ₄ followed by filtration and rinsing the residual solids with an appropriate organic solvent. "Stripped" means concentration under reduced pressure, generally on a rotary evaporator. "Silica gel chromatography" or "chromatographed on silica gel" refers to glass column chromatography performed in a manner similar to that described by Still (J Org. Chem., 43:2923 (1978)). Typically silica gel 60 (EMD, 230-400 mesh ASTM) is used with solvents from JT Baker or Mallinckrodt. For all chromatographic purifications the isolation of product by concentration of the appropriate fractions by evaporation at or below ambient pressure is implied. Melting points were determined on a Thomas- Hoover uni-melt apparatus and are uncorrected. Generally, mass spectral results are reported as the (M+H) ⁺ value. For halogenated compounds where two or more peaks are significant, m/z for one peak in the cluster, generally the most intense, is reported. Ή NMR spectra were recorded on dilute solutions at 400 or 500 MHz on Varian or Jeol instruments in the solvents indicated. Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from internal tetramethylsilane (TMS) or from the position of TMS inferred by the deuterated NMR solvent. Multiplicities are reported as: singlet-s, doublet-d, triplet-t, quartet-q, or multiplet-m. Peaks which exhibit broadening are further denoted as br. Integrations are approximate. It should be noted that integration intensities, peak shapes, chemical shifts and coupling constants can be dependent on solvent, concentration, temperature, pH, and other factors. Example 1
