CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the priority of U.S. Provisional

Application No. 61/744,821, filed October 3, 2012; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

[0002] Provided herein are (sulfinyl and sulfonyl benzimidazolyl) pyrimidines and triazines, and their pharmaceutical compositions, and use for treating proliferative diseases.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Phosphoinositide-3 -kinases (PI3Ks) are a group of lipid kinases, which phosphorylate the 3-hydroxyl of phosphoinositides. They are classified into at least three classes (classes I, II, and III) and play an important role in cellular signaling (Stephens et al, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 2005, 5, 357). Class I enzymes are further classified into classes la and lb based on their mechanism of activation. Class la PI3Ks are heterodimeric structures consisting of a catalytic subunit (pi 10a, pi 10β, or pi 10δ) in complex with a regulatory p85 subunit, while class-lb PI3K (pi 10γ) is structurally similar but lacks the p85 regulatory subunit, and instead is activated by βγ subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins (Walker et al, Mol .Cell. 2000, 6, 909).

[0004] PI3Ks play a variety of roles in normal tissue physiology (Foukas & Shepherd,

Biochem. Soc. Trans. 2004, 32, 330; Shepherd, Acta Physiol. Scand. 2005, 183, 3), with pi 10a having a specific role in cancer growth, pi 10β in thrombus formation mediated by integrin απβ ₃ (Jackson et al, Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 507), and pi 10γ in inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and other chronic inflammation states (Barber et al, Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 933; Camps et al, Nat. Med. 2005, 11, 936; Rommel et al, Nat. Rev. 2007, 7, 191; and Ito, et al., J. Pharm. Exp. Therap. 2007, 321, 1). Therefore, there is a need for PI3K inhibitors for treating cancer and/or inflammatory diseases. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0005] Provided herein

Abnormal PI3K functional activity might arise as the result of PI3K overexpression in cells, expression of PI3K in cells which normally do not express PI3K, or dysregulation due to constitutive activation, caused, for example, by a mutation in PI3K. A PI3K-mediated disorder, disease, or condition may be completely or partially mediated by abnormal PI3K activity. In particular, PI3K-mediated disorder, disease, or condition is one in which modulation of a PI3K activity results in some effect on the underlying disorder, disease, or condition, e.g., a PI3K inhibitor results in some improvement in at least some of patients being treated.

[0027] The terms "pi ΙΟδ-mediated disorder, disease, or condition," "a disorder, disease, or condition mediated by pi 105," "ΡΒΚδ-mediated disorder, disease, or condition," and "a disorder, disease, or condition mediated by ΡΙ3Κδ" refer to a disorder, disease, or condition characterized by abnormal or dysregulated, e.g., less than or greater than normal, pi 10δ activity. Abnormal pi 105 functional activity might arise as the result of pi 105 overexpression in cells, expression of pi 105 in cells which normally do not express pi 10δ, or dysregulation due to constitutive activation, caused, for example, by a mutation in pi 10δ. A pi ΙΟδ-mediated disorder, disease, or condition may be completely or partially mediated by abnormal pi 10δ activity. In particular, pi ΙΟδ-mediated disorder, disease, or condition is one in which modulation of a pi 10δ activity results in some effect on the underlying disorder, disease, or condition, e.g., a pi 10δ inhibitor results in some improvement in at least some of patients being treated.

4-yl)phenyl)propan-2-yl)-4-(2-(methylsulfonyl)- lH-benzo[d]imidazol- 1 -yl)-6-morpholino- 1 ,3,5-triazin-2-amine, or N-(2 -methyl- 1 -(2-(piperidin-4-yl)phenyl)propan-2 -yl)-4-(2- (methylsulfonyl)-lH-benzo[ ]imidazol-l-yl)-6-morpholino-l,3,5-triazin-2-amine; or an isotopic variant thereof; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof.

[00189] The compounds provided herein are intended to encompass all possible stereoisomers, unless a particular stereochemistry is specified. Where the compound provided herein contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, the compound may exist as one or mixture of geometric cisltrans (or Z/E) isomers. Where structural isomers are

interconvertible, the compound may exist as a single tautomer or a mixture of tautomers. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in the compound that contains, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group; or so-called valence tautomerism in the compound that contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

[00190] The compounds provided herein may be enantiomerically pure, such as a single enantiomer or a single diastereomer, or be stereoisomeric mixtures, such as a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemic mixture of two enantiomers; or a mixture of two or more diastereomers. As such, one of skill in the art will recognize that administration of a compound in its (R) form is equivalent, for compounds that undergo epimerization in vivo, to administration of the compound in its (S) form. Conventional techniques for the

preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor, asymmetric synthesis from achiral starting materials, or resolution of an enantiomeric mixture, for example, chiral chromatography, recrystallization, resolution, diastereomeric salt formation, or derivatization into diastereomeric adducts followed by separation.

[00191] When the compound provided herein contains an acidic or basic moiety, it may also be provided as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt (See, Berge et al. , J. Pharm. Sci. 1977, 66, 1-19; and "Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts, Properties, and Use," Stahl and Wermuth, Ed.; Wiley- VCH and VHCA, Zurich, 2002).

[00192] Suitable acids for use in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, acetic acid, 2,2-dichloroacetic acid, acylated amino acids, adipic acid, alginic acid, ascorbic acid, L-aspartic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, boric acid, (+)-camphoric acid, camphorsulfonic acid, (+)-(lS)- camphor-10-sulfonic acid, capric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, cyclamic acid, cyclohexanesulfamic acid, dodecylsulfuric acid, ethane- 1 ,2-disulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, galactaric acid, gentisic acid, glucoheptonic acid, D-gluconic acid, D-glucuronic acid, L-glutamic acid, a- oxoglutaric acid, glycolic acid, hippuric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, (+)-L-lactic acid, (±)-DL-lactic acid, lactobionic acid, lauric acid, maleic acid, (-)-L-malic acid, malonic acid, (±)-DL-mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid,

naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, naphthalene- 1, 5 -disulfonic acid, l-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, nicotinic acid, nitric acid, oleic acid, orotic acid, oxalic acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, L-pyroglutamic acid, saccharic acid, salicylic acid, 4-amino- salicylic acid, sebacic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, tannic acid, (+)-L-tartaric acid, thiocyanic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, undecylenic acid, and valeric acid.

[00193] Suitable bases for use in the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, include, but are not limited to, inorganic bases, such as magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, or sodium hydroxide; and organic bases, such as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary, aliphatic and aromatic amines, including, but not limited to, L-arginine, benethamine, benzathine, choline, deanol, diethanolamine, diethylamine, dimethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, 2-(diethylamino)-ethanol, ethanolamine, ethylamine, ethylenediamine, isopropylamine, N-methyl-glucamine, hydrabamine, lH-imidazole, L-lysine, morpholine, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-morpholine, methylamine, piperidine, piperazine, propylamine, pyrrolidine, l-(2-hydroxyethyl)- pyrrolidine, pyridine, quinuclidine, quinoline, isoquinoline, secondary amines,

triethanolamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, N-methyl-D-glucamine, 2-amino-2- (hydroxymethyl)- 1,3 -propanediol, and tromethamine.

[00194] The compound provided herein may also be provided as a prodrug, which is a functional derivative of the compound, for example, of Formula I, and is readily convertible into the parent compound in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent compound. They may, for instance, be

bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent compound is not. The prodrug may also have enhanced solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent compound. A prodrug may be converted into the parent drug by various mechanisms, including enzymatic processes and metabolic hydrolysis.

[00195] The compound provided herein can be prepared, isolated, or obtained by any methods known to one of skill in the art, and the following examples are only representative and do not exclude other related procedures.

Scheme I

[00196] In one embodiment, for example, a compound of Formula II is prepared, as shown in Scheme I, via a first aromatic substitution reaction of a halo-substituted triazine or pyrimidine with compound 1-1 to form compound 1-2, which is subsequently converted to compound 1-4 via a second aromatic substitution reaction with compound 1-3. Compound I- 4 then reacts with HNR ⁵ R ⁶ via a third aromatic substitution reaction to form a compound of Formula II.

[00197] In another embodiment, for example, a compound of Formula II is prepared, as shown in Scheme II, first via an aromatic substitution reaction of compound 1-2 with compound 1-6 to form compound 1-7, which is subsequently converted to compound 1-8 via an aromatic substitution reaction with FINR ⁵ R ⁶ . Compound 1-8 is then oxidized with an oxidant, e.g., KMn0 ₄ , to form a sulfonyl compound of Formula II; or e.g., hydrogen peroxide, to form a sulfmyl compound of Formula II.

(EUDRAGIT ^® , Rohm America, Inc., Piscataway, NJ); poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate); polylactides; copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ethyl-L-glutamate; degradable lactic acid- glycolic acid copolymers; poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid; and other acrylic acid derivatives, such as homopolymers and copolymers of butylmethacrylate, methyl

methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, ethylacrylate, (2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate, and (trimethylaminoethyl)methacrylate chloride.

[00253] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated with a non-erodible matrix device. The active ingredient(s) is dissolved or dispersed in an inert matrix and is released primarily by diffusion through the inert matrix once administered. Materials suitable for use as a non-erodible matrix device include, but are not limited to, insoluble plastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, methyl acrylate -methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene- vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/ethyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl chloride copolymers with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubbers, epichlorohydrin rubbers, ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer, ethylene/vinyloxyethanol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, silicone rubbers, polydimethylsiloxanes, and silicone carbonate copolymers; hydrophilic polymers, such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, crospovidone, and cross- linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate; and fatty compounds, such as carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, and triglycerides.

[00254] In a matrix controlled release system, the desired release kinetics can be controlled, for example, via the polymer type employed, the polymer viscosity, the particle sizes of the polymer and/or the active ingredient(s), the ratio of the active ingredient(s) versus the polymer, and other excipients or carriers in the compositions.

[00255] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, and melt-granulation followed by compression.

2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices

[00256] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including, but not limited to, one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) a core which contains an active ingredient; and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s). [00257] In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents is water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as "osmopolymers" and "hydrogels." Suitable water-swellable hydrophilic polymers as osmotic agents include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid,

polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium

croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.

[00258] The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol; organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.

[00259] Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MA NOGEM ^™ EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, DE) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.

[00260] The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.

[00261] Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking. Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly- (methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

[00262] Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,119. Such hydrophobic but water- vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.

[00263] The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post- coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.

5,612,059 and 5,698,220.

[00264] The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.

[00265] The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.

[00266] The osmotic controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art {see, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Santus and Baker, J. Controlled Release 1995, 35, 1-21; Verma et al, Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy 2000, 26, 695-708; Verma et al., J. Controlled Release 2002, 79, 7-27).

[00267] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated as AMT controlled-release dosage form, which comprises an asymmetric osmotic membrane that coats a core comprising the active ingredient(s) and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers. See, U.S. Pat. No. 5,612,059 and WO 2002/17918. The AMT controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry

granulation, wet granulation, and a dip-coating method.

[00268] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein are formulated as ESC controlled-release dosage form, which comprises an osmotic membrane that coats a core comprising the active ingredient(s), a hydroxylethyl cellulose, and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.

3. Multiparticulate Controlled Release Devices

Such multiparticulates can be made by the processes known to those skilled in the art, including wet-and dry-granulation, extrusion/spheronization, roller-compaction, melt-congealing, and by spray-coating seed cores. See, for example, Multiparticulate Oral Drug Delivery; Marcel Dekker: 1994; and Pharmaceutical Pelletization Technology; Marcel Dekker: 1989.

[00270] Other excipients or carriers as described herein can be blended with the pharmaceutical compositions to aid in processing and forming the multiparticulates. The resulting particles can themselves constitute the multiparticulate device or can be coated by various film-forming materials, such as enteric polymers, water-swellable, and water-soluble polymers. The multiparticulates can be further processed as a capsule or a tablet.

Example I

A luciferase-based luminescence assay

[00332] PI3K catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and ATP to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) and ADP. For all assays, the reaction buffer comprised 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 3 mM MgCl ₂ , 1 mM EGTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.03% CHAPS and 2 mM DTT. Compounds for testing were dissolved and serially diluted in 100% DMSO (total of 10 concentrations), then diluted 1 :25 in reaction buffer.

[00333] PI3K alpha and PI3K delta enzymatic activity was determined by measuring the amount of ATP consumed following the kinase reaction using a luciferase-based luminescence assay (Kinase Glo®, Promega Corp., Madison, WI, USA). PI3K enzyme solutions were prepared by diluting PI3K alpha (Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA, USA) or PI3K delta (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA ) in reaction buffer, to 4x the final assay concentration (final concentrations of enzymes were 1.65 uM and 6.86 uM for PI3K alpha and PI3K delta, respectively). A substrate solution was prepared by mixing PIP ₂ and ATP in reaction buffer at 2x the final assay concentration (final concentrations were 50 μΜ and 25 μΜ for PIP ₂ and ATP respectively). 2.5 each of the compound and kinase mixtures were added to individual wells of white low volume 384-well assay plates and mixed by shaking. The reactions were started by adding 5 μΐ, of substrate mixture per well and shaking. The assay plates were covered and reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 hour (PI3K alpha) or 2 hours (PI3K delta), after which 10 μΐ, of Kinase Glo® reagent was added. The plates were briefly centrifuged and incubated for 10 minutes, after which luminescence was measured using a FlexStation plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). IC ₅₀ values were determined by curve fitting using Graphpad Prism software (Graphpad Software, La Jolla, CA, USA).

[00334] PI3K beta and gamma enzymatic activity was determined by measuring the amount of ADP produced following the kinase reaction using a luciferase-based

luminescence assay (ADP Glo®, Promega Corp., Madison, WI, USA). PI3K enzyme solutions were prepared by diluting PI3K beta (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) or PI3K gamma (Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA, USA) in reaction buffer, to 4x the final assay concentration (final concentrations of enzymes were 4.8 nM and 7.6 nM for PI3K beta and PI3K gamma respectively). A substrate solution was prepared by mixing PIP ₂ and ATP in reaction buffer at 2x the final assay concentration (final concentrations were 50 μΜ and 25 μΜ for PIP ₂ and ATP respectively). 2.5 μΐ _^ each of the compound and kinase mixtures were added to individual wells of white low volume 384-well assay plates and mixed by shaking. The reactions were started by adding 5 μΐ, of substrate mixture per well and shaking. The assay plates were covered and reactions were allowed to proceed for 1 hour. Then, 5 μΐ, of reaction mix was transferred to another white low volume 384-well plate, and 5 μί of ADP- Glo™ reagent was added. The plates were briefly centrifuged and incubated for 40 minutes, after which ΙΟμΙ, of kinase detection buffer was added. The plates then were centrifuged briefly, shaken slowly and equilibrated at room temperature for 30 minutes, after which luminescence was measured using a FlexStation plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). IC ₅₀ values were determined by curve fitting using Graphpad Prism software (Graphpad Software, La Jolla, CA, USA).
