BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that are released by a wide variety of cells to attract macrophages, T-cells, eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils and endothelial cells to sites of inflammation and tumor growth. There are two main classes of chemokines, the CXC-chemokines and the CC-chemokines. The class depends on whether the first two cystines are separated by a single amino acid (CXC-chemokines) or are adjacent (CC-chemokines). The CXC-chemokines include, but are not limited to, interleukin-8 (IL-8), neutrophil-activating protein-1 (NAP-1), neutrophil-activating protein-2 (NAP-2), GROa, GROß, GROy, ENA-78, GCP-2, IP-10, MIG and PF4. CC chemokines include, but are not limited to, RANTES, MIP-1a, MIP-2p, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, MCP-3, CCL19, CCL21 and eotaxin. Individual members of the chemokine families are known to be bound by at least one chemokine receptor, with CXC-chemokines generally bound by members of the CXCR class of receptors, and CC-chemokines by members of the CCR class of receptors. For example, IL-8 is bound by the CXCR-1 and CXCR-2 receptors.

Since CXC-chemokines promote the accumulation and activation of neutrophils, these chemokines have been implicated in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders including psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. Baggiolini

et al., FEBS Lett. 307,97 (1992); Miller et al., Crit. Rev. Immunol. 12,17 (1992); Oppenheim et al., Annu. Fev. Immunol. 9,617 (1991); Seitz et al., J. Clin. Invest. 87, 463 (1991); Miller et al., Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. 146,427 (1992); Donnely et al., Lancet 341,643 (1993).

ELRCXC chemokines including IL-8, GROa, GROß, GROy, NAP-2, and ENA- 78 (Strieter et al. 1995 JBC 270 p. 27348-57) have also been implicated in the induction of tumor angiogenesis (new blood vessel growth). All of these chemokines are believed to exert their actions by binding to the 7 transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor CXCR2 (also known as IL-8RB), while IL-8 also binds CXCR1 (also known as IL-8RA). Thus, their angiogenic activity is due to their binding to and activation of CXCR2, and possible CXCR1 for IL-8, expressed on the surface of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in surrounding vessels.

Many different types of tumors have been shown to produce ELRCXC chemokines and their production has been correlated with a more aggressive phenotype (Inoue et al. 2000 Clin Cancer Res 6 p. 2104-2119) and poor prognosis (Yoneda et. al. 1998 J Nat Cancer Inst 90 p. 447-454). Chemokines are potent chemotactic factors and the ELRCXC chemokines have been shown to induce EC chemotaxis. Thus, these chemokines probably induce chemotaxis of endothelial cells toward their site of production in the tumor. This may be a critical step in the induction of angiogenesis by the tumor. Inhibitors of CXCR2 or dual inhibitors of CXCR2 and CXCR1 will inhibit the angiogenic activity of the ELRCXC chemokines and therefore block the growth of the tumor. This anti-tumor activity has been demonstrated for antibodies to IL-8 (Arenberg et al. 1996 J Clin Invest 97 p. 2792-2802), ENA-78 (Arenberg et al. 1998 J Clin Invest 102 p. 465-72), and GROa (Haghnegahdar et al.

J. Leukoc Biology 2000 67 p. 53-62).

Many tumor cells have also been shown to express CXCR2 and thus tumor cells may also stimulate their own growth when they secrete ELRCXC chemokines.

Thus, along with decreasing angiogenesis, inhibitors of CXCR2 may directly inhibit the growth of tumor cells.

Hence, the CXC-chemokine receptors represent promising targets for the development of novel anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agents.

There remains a need for compounds that are capable of modulating activity at CXC-chemokine receptors. For example, conditions associated with an increase in

IL-8 production (which is responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophil and T-cell subsets into the inflammatory site and growth of tumors) would benefit by compounds that are inhibitors of IL-8 receptor binding.

Representative compounds include the final compounds of Examples 1,2-4, 6- 35,100-105, 107,108, 110,111, 112,114-116, 118-132,134-145, 148,180, 182,

183, 185,186, 188,300-389, 500-639,700-787, and 900-987, or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof.

Preferred compounds of the invention are the final compounds of Examples 1, 6, 8, 110,111, 112,114, 122,120, 123,124, 127,128, 129,130, 131,139, 142,144, 145,300, 305,306, 307,313, 316,317, 318,323, 324,327, 328,329, 330,334, 335, 338,339, 340,349, 350,351, 359,360, 361,362, 364,370, 372,373, 374,381, 544, 545,546, 548,558, 559,560, 561,562, 572,573, 587, 601,616, 708, 718, 719,721, 732,754, 774,784, 928,930, 931,939, 942,941, 950,952, or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof.

More preferred compounds of the invention are the final compounds of Examples 1,6, 8,110, 111,112, 114,122, 120,123, 124,129, 130,131, 142,144, 145,300, 305,306, 307,313, 316,317, 318,323, 324,327, 328,329, 334,335, 338, 339,340, 349,350, 351,359, 360,361, 362,364, 370,372, 373,374, 381,544, 545, 546,548, 558,559, 560,561, 562,572, 708,718, 719,721, 732,754, 774,784, 928, 930, 931,939, 942,941, 950,952, or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Most preferred compounds of the invention are the final compounds of Examples 1,6, 8,114, 120,123, 129,131, 300,305, 306, 307,316, 317,318, 323, 327,328, 329,334, 359,360, 361,370, 372,373, 374,544, 545,546, 548,558, 559, 560,561, 562,928, 930,931, 939, 942, 941,950, 952, or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof.

Certain compounds of the invention may exist in different stereoisomeric forms (e. g. , enantiomers, diastereoisomers and atropisomers). The invention contemplates all such stereoisomers both in pure form and in admixture, including racemic mixtures.

Isomers can be prepared using conventional methods.

All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts and solvates of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this invention. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers of the

present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms"salt","solvate""prodrug"and the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, racemates or prodrugs of the inventive compounds.

Certain compounds will be acidic in nature, e. g. those compounds which possess a carboxyl or phenolic hydroxyl group. These compounds may form pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Examples of such salts may include sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, gold and silver salts. Also contemplated are salts formed with pharmaceutical acceptable amines such as ammonia, alkyl amines, hydroxyalkylamines, N-methylglucamine and the like.

Certain basic compounds also form pharmaceutical acceptable salts, e. g., acid addition salts. For example, the pyrido-nitrogen atoms may form salts with strong acid, while compounds having basic substituents such as amino groups also form salts with weaker acids. Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic and other mineral and carboxylic acids well known to those skilled in the art. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce a salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt with a suitable dilute aqueous base solution such as dilute aqueous NaOH, potassium carbonate, ammonia and sodium bicarbonate. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but the acid and base salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention.

All such acid and base salts are intended to be pharmaceutical acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.

Compounds of formula IA can exist in unsolvated and solvate forms (or compounds of formula IA can optionally be converted to a solvate), including hydrated forms. In general, the solvate forms, with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such

as water, ethanol and the like, are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of this invention.

Preparation of solvates is generally known. Thus, for example, M. Caira et al, J. Pharmaceutical Sci., 93 (3), 601-611 (2004) describe the preparation of the solvates of the antifungal fluconazole in ethyl acetate as well as from water. Similar preparations of solvates, hemisolvate, hydrates and the like are described by E. C. van Tonder et al, AAPS PharmSciTech., 5 (1 !, article 12 (2004); and A. L. Bingham et al, Chem. Commun., 603-604 (2001). A typical, non-limiting, process involves dissolving the inventive compound in desired amounts of the desired solvent (organic or water or mixtures thereof) at a higher than ambient temperature, and cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals which are then isolated by standard methods. Analytical techniques such as, for example 1. R. spectroscopy, show the presence of the solvent (or water) in the crystals as a solvate (or hydrate).

This invention also includes Prodrugs of the novel compounds of this invention.

The term"prodrug, "as used herein, represents compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to the parent compound (i. e., a compound of formula IA), for example, by hydrolysis in blood. A thorough discussion is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A. C. S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

This invention also includes the compounds of this invention in isolated and pure form.

This invention also includes polymorphic forms of the compounds of this invention. The polymorphic forms of the compounds of formula IA, and of the salts, solvates and prodrugs of the compounds of formula IA, are intended to be included in the present invention.

For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutical acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid.

Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets and suppositories. The powders and tablets may be comprised of from about 5 to about 95 percent active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are known in the art, e. g. , magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar or lactose. Tablets,

powders, cachets and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and methods of manufacture for various compositions may be found in A. Gennaro (ed. ), Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, (2000), Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, MD..

Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection or addition of sweeteners and opacifiers for oral solutions, suspensions and emulsions. Liquid form preparations may also include solutions for intranasal administration.

Aerosol preparations suitable for inhalation may include solutions and solids in powder form, which may be in combination with a pharmaceutical acceptable carrier, such as an inert compressed gas, e. g. nitrogen.

Also included are solid form preparations that are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions.

The compounds of the invention may also be deliverable transdermally. The transdermal composition can take the form of creams, lotions, aerosols and/or emulsions and can be included in a transdermal patch of the matrix or reservoir type as are conventional in the art for this purpose.

Preferably the compound is administered orally.

Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in a unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into suitably sized unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component, e. g. , an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose.

The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably from about 0.01 mg to about 750 mg, more preferably from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg, and most preferably from about 0.01 mg to about 250 mg, according to the particular application.

The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage regimen for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. For

convenience, the total dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day as required.

The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of the invention and/or the pharmaceutical acceptable salts thereof will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the symptoms being treated. A typical recommended daily dosage regimen for oral administration can range from about 0.04 mg/day to about 4000 mg/day, in two to four divided doses.

Methods for the safe and effective administration of most of these chemotherapeutic agents are known to those skilled in the art. In addition, their administration is described in the standard literature. For example, the administration of many of the chemotherapeutic agents is described in the"Physicians'Desk Reference" (PDR), e. g. , Physician's Desk Reference, 57th edition, 2003, Thompson PDR at Montvale, NJ 07645-1742, USA; the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.

As used herein, a microtubule affecting agent is a compound that interferes with cellular mitosis, i. e., having an anti-mitotic effect, by affecting microtubule formation and/or action. Such agents can be, for instance, microtubule stabilizing agents or agents that disrupt microtubule formation.

Microtubule affecting agents useful in the invention are well known to those of skill in the art and include, but are not limited to allocolchicine (NSC 406042), Halichondrin B (NSC 609395), colchicine (NSC 757), colchicine derivatives (e. g. , NSC 33410), dolastatin 10 (NSC 376128), maytansine (NSC 153858), rhizoxin (NSC 332598), paclitaxel (Taxolo, NSC 125973), Taxolo derivatives (e. g. , derivatives (e. g., NSC 608832), thiocolchicine (NSC 361792), trityl cysteine (NSC 83265), vinblastine sulfate (NSC 49842), vincristine sulfate (NSC 67574), epothilone A, epothilone, and discodermolide (see Service, (1996) Science, 274: 2009) estramustine, nocodazole, MAP4, and the like. Examples of such agents are also described in the scientific and patent literature, see, e. g., Bulinski (1997) J. Cell Sci. 110: 3055-3064; Panda (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94: 10560-10564; Muhiradt (1997) Cancer Res. 57: 3344- 3346; Nicolaou (1997) Nature 387: 268-272; Vasquez (1997) Mol. Biol. Cell. 8 : 973- 985; Panda (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271: 29807-29812.

Particularly preferred agents are compounds with paclitaxel-like activity. These include, but are not limited to paclitaxel and paclitaxel derivatives (paclitaxel-like compounds) and analogues. Paclitaxel and its derivatives are available commercially.

In addition, methods of making paclitaxel and paclitaxel derivatives and analogues are

well known to those of skill in the art (see, e. g. , U. S. Patent Nos: 5,569, 729; 5,565, 478; 5,530, 020; 5,527, 924; 5,508, 447; 5,489, 589; 5,488, 116; 5, 484, 809 ; 5, 478, 854; 5, 478, 736; 5,475, 120; 5,468, 769; 5,461, 169; 5,440, 057; 5,422, 364; 5,411, 984; 5,405, 972; and 5,296, 506).

More specifically, the term"paclitaxel"as used herein refers to the drug commercially available as Taxole (NSC number: 125973). Taxons inhibits eukaryotic cell replication by enhancing polymerization of tubulin moieties into stabilized microtubule bundles that are unable to reorganize into the proper structures for mitosis. Of the many available chemotherapeutic drugs, paclitaxel has generated interest because of its efficacy in clinical trials against drug-refractory tumors, including ovarian and mammary gland tumors (Hawkins (1992) Oncology, 6: 17-23, Horwitz (1992) Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 13: 134-146, Rowinsky (1990) J. Natl. Canc.

Inst. 82: 1247-1259).

Additional microtubule affecting agents can be assessed using one of many such assays known in the art, e. g. , a semiautomated assay which measures the tubulin-polymerizing activity of paclitaxel analogs in combination with a cellular assay to measure the potential of these compounds to block cells in mitosis (see Lopes (1997) Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 41: 37-47).

Generally, activity of a test compound is determined by contacting a cell with that compound and determining whether or not the cell cycle is disrupted, in particular, through the inhibition of a mitotic event. Such inhibition may be mediated by disruption of the mitotic apparatus, e. g., disruption of normal spindle formation. Cells in which mitosis is interrupted may be characterized by altered morphology (e. g., microtubule compaction, increased chromosome number, etc.).

Compounds with possible tubulin polymerization activity can be screened in vitro. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds are screened against cultured WR21 cells (derived from line 69-2 wap-ras mice) for inhibition of proliferation and/or for altered cellular morphology, in particular for microtubule compaction. In vivo screening of positive-testing compounds can then be performed using nude mice bearing the WR21 tumor cells. Detailed protocols for this screening method are described by Porter (1995) Lab. Anim. Sci., 45 (2): 145-150.

Other methods of screening compounds for desired activity are well known to those of skill in the art. Typically such assays involve assays for inhibition of

microtubule assembly and/or disassembly. Assays for microtubule assembly are described, for example, by Gaskin et aL (1974) J. Molec. Biol., 89: 737-758. U. S.

Patent No. 5,569, 720 also provides in vitro and in vivo assays for compounds with paclitaxel-like activity.

Methods for the safe and effective administration of the above-mentioned microtubule affecting agents are known to those skilled in the art. In addition, their administration is described in the standard literature. For example, the administration of many of the chemotherapeutic agents is described in the"Physicians'Desk Reference" (PDR), e. g. , 1996 edition (Medical Economics Company, Montvale, NJ 07645-1742, USA); the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference thereto.

The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of formula IA and the chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician (physician) considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the disease being treated. A dosage regimen of the compound of formula IA can be oral administration of from 10 mg to 2000 mg/day, preferably 10 to 1000 mg/day, more preferably 50 to 600 mg/day, in two to four (preferably two) divided doses, to block tumor growth. Intermittant therapy (e. g. , one week out of three weeks or three out of four weeks) may also be used.

The chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy can be administered according to therapeutic protocols well known in the art. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy can be varied depending on the disease being treated and the known effects of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy on that disease. Also, in accordance with the knowledge of the skilled clinician, the therapeutic protocols (e. g., dosage amounts and times of administration) can be varied in view of the observed effects of the administered therapeutic agents (i. e., antineoplastic agent or radiation) on the patient, and in view of the observed responses of the disease to the administered therapeutic agents.

In the methods of this invention, a compound of formula IA is administered concurrently or sequentially with a chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation. Thus, it is not necessary that, for example, the chemotherapeutic agent and the compound of

formula IA, or the radiation and the compound of formula IA, should be administered simultaneously or essentially simultaneously. The advantage of a simultaneous or essentially simultaneous administration is well within the determination of the skilled clinician.

Also, in general, the compound of formula IA and the chemotherapeutic agent do not have to be administered in the same pharmaceutical composition, and may, because of different physical and chemical characteristics, have to be administered by different routes. For example, the compound of formula IA may be administered orally to generate and maintain good blood levels thereof, while the chemotherapeutic agent may be administered intravenously. The determination of the mode of administration and the advisability of administration, where possible, in the same pharmaceutical composition, is well within the knowledge of the skilled clinician. The initial administration can be made according to established protocols known in the art, and then, based upon the observed effects, the dosage, modes of administration and times of administration can be modified by the skilled clinician.

The particular choice of a compound of formula IA, and chemo-therapeutic agent and/or radiation will depend upon the diagnosis of the attending physicians and their judgement of the condition of the patient and the appropriate treatment protocol.

The compound of formula IA, and chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation may be administered concurrently (e. g. , simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within the same treatment protocol) or sequentially, depending upon the nature of the proliferative disease, the condition of the patient, and the actual choice of chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation to be administered in conjunction (i. e. , within a single treatment protocol) with the compound of formula or IA.

If the compound of formula IA, and the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation are not administered simultaneously or essentially simultaneously, then the initial order of administration of the compound of formula IA, and the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation, may not be important. Thus, the compound of formula IA may be administered first, followed by the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation; or the chemo-therapeutic agent and/or radiation may be administered first, followed by the administration of the compound of formula IA. This alternate administration may be repeated during a single treatment protocol. The determination of the order of administration, and the number of

repetitions of administration of each therapeutic agent during a treatment protocol, is well within the knowledge of the skilled physician after evaluation of the disease being treated and the condition of the patient.

For example, the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation may be administered first, especially if it is a cytotoxic agent, and then the treatment continued with the administration of the compound of formula IA followed, where determined advantageous, by the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation, and so on until the treatment protocol is complete.

Thus, in accordance with experience and knowledge, the practicing physician can modify each protocol for the administration of a component (therapeutic agent-- i. e., the compound of formula IA, chemotherapeutic agent or radiation) of the treatment according to the individual patient's needs, as the treatment proceeds.

The attending clinician, in judging whether treatment is effective at the dosage administered, will consider the general well-being of the patient as well as more definite signs such as relief of disease-related symptoms, inhibition of tumor growth, actual shrinkage of the tumor, or inhibition of metastasis. Size of the tumor can be measured by standard methods such as radio-logical studies, e. g. , CAT or MRI scan, and successive measurements can be used to judge whether or not growth of the tumor has been retarded or even reversed. Relief of disease-related symptoms such as pain, and improvement in overall condition can also be used to help judge effectiveness of treatment.

Rat Carraqeenan-lnduced Thermal Hvseralaesia Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River Laboratories; 150-200gm) can be maintained under normal housing and lighting conditions, with food and water supplied ad libitum. Each animal can be tested for its baseline paw withdrawal response to a heat source by placement of the animal into a plantar testing unit (Ugo Basile, Italy), in which a light source is moved under its paw and the time of withdrawal is measured. The animals can then be dosed orally with a compound of this invention, and then can be injected intraplantarly with 2-3 mg lambda carrageenan (FMC Colloids) in 100 ul of saline while under isofurane anesthesia. Three hours later, the animals can be re-measured for their withdrawal response to the heat source.

Plantar tissue can also be analyzed for myeloperoxidase levels as a surrogate for neutrophil infiltration.

Compounds of formula IA may be produced by processes known to those skilled in the art, in the following reaction schemes, and in the preparations and examples below.

A general procedure for the preparation of compounds of formula IA is as follows : Compounds of this invention are prepared by condensing an amine (either A- NH2 or B-NH2) with the known diethoxy thiadiazole mono-oxide prepared according to the literature to give the monoethoxy thiadizoleoxide intermediate. Subsequent condensation of this intermediate with the commercially available or prepared amine (either A-NH2 or B-NH2) provides the desired 3,4-diamino mono oxide intermediate, which is reduced with triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrachloride in dichloromethane to produce the final thiadiazole chemokine antagonist.

The invention disclosed herein is exemplified by the following preparations and examples which should not be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure.

Alternative mechanistic pathways and analogous structures may be apparent to those skilled in the art.

Omg, 0. 0336mol) in anhydrous dichloromethane at O C was added triphenylphosphine (44mg, 0. 1681 mmol) followed by the drop-wise addition of carbon tetrachloride (1. OmL). The reaction mixture was warmed to 40-45 C and stirred for 2-3 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the product was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography using dichloromethane-methanol (20: 1) to afford the title compound as a white solid. (6mg, 43%, m. p = 65 C).
