FIELD OF THE INVENTION The instant invention provides formulations for compounds, such as pyrrole substituted 2-indolinones, which compounds are ionizable as free acids or free bases.
Also provided are methods of making and using the formulations of the invention.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The following description of the background of the invention is provided to aid in understanding the invention, but is not admitted to describe or constitute prior art to the invention. Various methods are available for administering therapeutic agents to a patient. Such methods include parenteral, oral, ocular, nasal, topical, and transmucosal administration. Variations of these different types of administrations exist. For example, parenteral administration includes intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intraosseous, and intramedullary injection. The chosen mode of administration should take into account the nature of the therapeutic compound and the illness being treated.
Certain potential pharmaceuticals are hydrophobic and typically have very low aqueous solubility and hence low oral bioavailability. Different techniques concerned with solubilizing hydrophobic compounds include those described by Praveen et al., U. S. Patent No. 5, 314, 685, and Fernandes et al., U. S. Patent No.
4, 992, 271, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, including any figures, tables, and drawings.
One measure of the potential usefulness of an oral formulation of a new pharmaceutical agent is the bioavailability observed after oral administration of the formulation. Various factors can affect the oral bioavailability of the drug. These factors include aqueous solubility, drug absorption throughout the gastrointestinal
tract, drug stability in gastrointestinal tract, and first pass effect. Aqueous solubility is one of the most important factors. The oral bioavailability of an aqueous solution formulation of a drug is generally used as the standard or the ideal bioavailability against which other oral formulations are measured. Formulations of drugs that increase the relative bioavailability of the drug as compared to an aqueous solution are desirable, especially with hydrophobic compounds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The instant invention features formulations for compounds, such as indolinones, which compounds are ionizable as free acids or free bases.
In one aspect, the invention features a formulation suitable for parenteral or oral administration, said formulation comprising an ionizable substituted indolinone, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.
The term"ionizable substituted indolinone"as used herein includes pyrrole substituted 2-indolinones which, in addition to being otherwise optionally substituted on both the pyrrole and 2-indolinone portions of the compound, are necessarily substituted on the pyrrole moiety with one or more hydrocarbon chains which themselves are substituted with at least one polar group. Physiologically acceptable salts and prodrugs of the claimed compounds are also within the scope of this invention.
A"hydrocarbon chain"refers to an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group, as defined herein.
A"polar"group refers to a group wherein the nuclei of the atoms covalently bound to each other to form the group do not share the electrons of the covalent bond (s) joining them equally ; that is the electron cloud is denser about one atom than another. This results in one end of the covalent bond (s) being relatively negative and the other end relatively positive ; i. e., there is a negative pole and a. positive pole. Examples of polar groups include, without limitation, hydroxy, alkoxy, carboxy, nitro, cyano, amino (primary, secondary and tertiary), ammonium, amido, ureido, sulfonamido, sulfinyl, sulfhydryl, silyl, S-sulfonamido, N-
sulfonamido, C-carboxy, O-carboxy, C-amido, N-amido, sulfonyl, phosphono, morpholino, piperazinyl, tetrazolo, and the like.
While not being bound to any particular theory, applicants at this time believe that the polar groups may interact electronically, for example, but without limitation, through hydrogen bonds, Van der Walls forces and/or ionic bonds (but not covalent bonding), with the amino acids at a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) active site. The PTK active site is involved with ligand binding (or similar interaction) that contributes to cellular response. These interactions may assist the molecules of this invention to bind to an active site with sufficient tenacity to interfere with or prevent the natural substrate from entering the site. Polar groups may also contribute to the selectivity of the compounds ; i. e., one polar group may have greater affinity for a PTK binding domain than other polar groups so that the compound containing the first particular polar group is more potent than the compounds containing the other polar groups.
Thus, the"pyrrole substituted 2-indolinones"contemplated for use in the present invention include compounds having the following chemical structure : R'is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, hydroxy, alkoxy, C-carboxy, O-carboxy, acetyl, C-amido, C- thioamido, sulfonyl and trihalomethanesulfonyl.

It will be clear to those skilled in the art, based both on known general principles of organic synthesis and on the disclosures herein which base would be most appropriate for the reaction contemplated.
The solvent in which the reaction is carried out may be a protic or an aprotic solvent, preferably it is a protic solvent. A"protic solvent"is a solvent which has hydrogen atom (s) covalently bonded to oxygen or nitrogen atoms which renders the hydrogen atoms appreciably acidic and thus capable of being"shared"with a solute through hydrogen bonding. Examples of protic solvents include, without limitation, water and alcohols.
An"aprotic solvent"may be polar or non-polar but, in either case, does not contain acidic hydrogens and therefore is not capable of hydrogen bonding with solutes. Examples, without limitation, of non-polar aprotic solvents, are pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. Examples of polar aprotic solvents are chloroform, tetrahydro-furan, dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide.
In a presently preferred aspect of this method, the solvent is a protic solvent, preferably water or an alcohol such as ethanol.
The reaction is carried out at temperatures greater than room temperature.
The temperature is generally from about 30° C to about 150° C, preferably about 80°C to about 100° C, most preferable about 75° C to about 85° C, which is about the boiling point of ethanol. By"about"is meant that the temperature range is preferably within 10° C of the indicated temperature, more preferably within 5° C of
the indicated temperature and, most preferably, within 2° C of the indicated temperature. Thus, for example, by"about 75° C"is meant 75° C + 10° C, preferably 75°C ~ 5°C and most preferably, 75° C i 2° C.

Also included within the ionizable substituted indolinones contemplated for use in the present invention are pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, derivatives, and analogs of the above-identified pyrrole substituted 2-indolinones.
As utilized herein, the term"pharmaceutically acceptable salt"includes formulations of a compound that do not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compound. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be obtained by reacting a pyrrole substituted 2-indolinone contemplated for use in the invention with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p- toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid and the like, or with inorganic or organic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, choline, n-methyl glucamine, diethylamine, procaine and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts which the compounds of this invention may form include the negatively or the positively charged species. Examples of salts in which the compound forms the positively charged moiety include, without limitation, quaternary ammonium (defined elsewhere herein), salts such as the hydrochloride, sulfate, carbonate, lactate, tartrate, maleate, succinate wherein the nitrogen atom of the quaternary ammonium group is a nitrogen of the selected compound of this invention which has reacted with the appropriate acid. Salts in which a compound of this invention forms the negatively charged species include, without limitation, the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid group in the compound with an appropriate base (e. g. sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), calcium hydroxide (Ca (OH) 2), etc.). As utilized herein,"quaternary ammonium"includes a quaternized nitrogen (e. g.,-NRR'R", where each of R, R' and R"is independently selected from H, aryl, alkyl, and the like), a quaternized nitrogen containing heterocyclic aryl, and the like.
As utilized herein, the term"prodrug"includes any compounds that, when administered to a biological system, are converted into the active ionizable substituted indolinone contemplated for use in the invention either as a result of spontaneous chemical reaction (s), enzyme catalyzed reaction (s), metabolic reaction (s), or the like. A"prodrug"also refers to an agent which is converted into
the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent drug is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug.
An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound of the present invention which is administered as an ester (the"prodrug") to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short polypeptide bonded to a carboxy group wherein metabolic removal of the polypeptide group releases the active compound.
In one aspect of the invention formulation, a therapeutically effective amount of the ionizable substituted indolinone is utilized in the invention formulation.
As used herein, a"pharmaceutically acceptable carrier"refers to a carrier or diluent that does not abrogate the biological activity and/or properties of the administered compound while facilitating administration by, for example, stabilizing or solubilizing the compound. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, without limitation, one or more polyoxyhydrocarbyl compounds, one or more buffers, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable preservatives, one or more antioxidants, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable alcohols, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous solutions, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable oils, liposomes, one or more polyglycolized lipids, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable granulating agents, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable binders, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable disintegrants, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable lubricants, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable flow enhancers, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable suspending agents, and suitable combinations of any two or more thereof.
The term"pharmaceutically acceptable"or"pharmaceutical"as used herein refers to solutions or components of the formulation that do not prevent the therapeutic compound from exerting a therapeutic effect and do not cause
unacceptable adverse side effects. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable reagents are provided in The United States Pharmacopeia The National Formulary, United States Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., Rockville, MD 1990 and FDA Inactive Ingredient Guide 1990, 1996 issued by the Division of Drug Information Resources (both are hereby incorporated by reference herein, including any drawings).
Unacceptable side effects vary for different diseases. Generally, the more severe the disease the more toxic effects which will be tolerated. Unacceptable side effects for different diseases are known in the art.
Although all permutations of specific components within the invention formulations are contemplated to be within the scope of the present invention, the following combinations of one or more specific pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (s) and specific ionizable substituted indolinones are preferred in one aspect of the invention.
In one aspect of the invention formulation, the formulation is suitable for parenteral administration. A preferred embodiment of this aspect has the ionizable substituted indolinone be a pyrrole substituted 2-indolinone of Formula I having R9 be-(alkl) Zl, and each of R8 and Rl° independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and unsubstituted lower alkyl. In a presently preferred aspect, the ionizable substituted indolinone is 3- [2, 4-dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro- indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid (compound IV), and pharmaceutically active salts, prodrugs, derivatives, and analogs thereof.
In another aspect of the invention formulation suitable for parenteral or oral administration, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises one or more polyoxyhydrocarbyl compounds. A preferred embodiment of this aspect has the ionizable substituted indolinone be a pyrrole substituted 2-indolinone of Formula I having R9 be- (alkl) Z, and each of R8 and Rl° independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and unsubstituted lower alkyl. In a presently preferred aspect, the ionizable substituted indolinone is 3- [2, 4-dimethyl-5- (2-oxo- 1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid (compound IV), and pharmaceutically active salts, prodrugs, derivatives, and analogs thereof.
In another aspect of the invention, the formulation includes permeability and penetrating enhancers. These include ionic compounds (e. g., 3, 5-diidosalicylate sodium) dimethylsulfoxide and related compounds (e. g., decylmethyl sulfoxide) azone, and related compounds (e. g., N-alkyl-dihydro-1, 4-oxazepine-5, 7-diones), solvents, and related compounds (e. g., ethanol, dimethyl acetamide, dimethylformamide) fatty alcohols, fatty acids and enzymes (e. g. ; acid phosphatase and papin). These are other examples of permeability and pentration enhancers can be found in Pharmaceutical Skin Penetration Enhancement, K. A. Walters and J.
Hadgraft, Eds. (Dekker, New York, 1993).
The term"polyoxyhydrocarbyl compound"as used herein includes without limitation water soluble carbohydrates (such as glucose, sucrose, maltotriose, and the like) ; water soluble carbohydrate derivatives (such as gluconic acid and mannitol and oligosaccharides, and the like) ; water soluble polypeptides ; water soluble polymers (such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, poly (vinyl alcohol), and in particular, polyethers such as other polyoxyalkylenes including poly (ethylene glycol) and the like) ; water soluble mixed oxyalkylene polymers ; and the polymeric forms of ethylene glycol ; and the like ; and suitable combinations of two or more thereof.
Although polyoxyhydrocarbyl compounds preferably contain more than one carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen atom, some molecules such as poly (ethyleneimine) are also included.
A particularly preferred class of solubilizing polyoxyhydrocarbyl compounds comprises poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) and PEG derivatives, such as PEG monomethyl ether. Other suitable PEG derivatives include PEG-silicon derived ethers. Many of these polymers are commercially available in a variety of molecular weights. Others may be conveniently prepared from commercially available materials, such as by coupling of an amino-PEG moiety to a haloalkyl silyl or silane moiety.
Suitable PEGs may vary in molecular weight from about 200 g/mol to about 20, 000 g/mol or more, more preferably 200 g/mol to 5, 000 g/mol, even more preferably 250 g/mol to 1, 000 g/mol, and most preferably 250 g/mol to 500 g/mol.
The choice of a particular molecular weight may depend on the particular ionizable
substituted indolinone chosen and its molecular weight and degree of hydrophobicity, as well as the particular application for which the formulation is to be used.
Thus, the one or more polyoxyhydrocarbyl compounds can be selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol 300, polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, and glycerin, and the like, and suitable combinations of two or more hereof.

1. Properties of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3- yl]-propionic acid, is an indolinone compound that is a potent inhibitor of signal transduction via Flk-1/KDR, PDGF receptor, and FGF receptor. It is also efficacious in inhibiting SC growth of multiple tumor types and inhibited the growth of established tumors. This compound is a preferred compound for use in the formulations of the present invention. Properties of formulations comprising this compound are set forth in the experimental materials that follow.
2. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND USES A compound or combination of the present invention, a prodrug thereof or a physiologically acceptable salt of either the compound or its prodrug, can be administered as such to a human patient or it can be administered in pharmaceutical compositions or formulations in which the foregoing materials are mixed with suitable carriers or excipient (s). Techniques for formulation and administration of drugs may be found in"Remington's Pharmacological Sciences,"Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, latest edition.
A. Routes of Administration.
General Suitable routes of administration may include, without limitation, oral, rectal, transmucosal or intestinal administration or intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary, intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections. The preferred routes of administration are oral and parenteral.
Alternatively, one may administer the compound in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection of the compound directly into a solid tumor, often in a depot or sustained release formulation.
Furthermore, one may administer the drug in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in a liposome coated with tumor-specific antibody. The liposomes will be targeted to and taken up selectively by the tumor.
B. Composition/Formulation General Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations of the present invention may be manufactured by processes well known in the art ; e. g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.
Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for use in accordance with the present invention may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.
For injection, the compounds of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks'solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation.
Such penetrants are generally known in the art.
For oral administration, the compounds can be formulated by combining the active compounds with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art.
Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, lozenges, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient. Pharmaceutical preparations and formulations for oral use can be made using a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding other suitable auxiliaries if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Useful excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol ; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch and potato starch and other materials such as gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid. A salt such as sodium alginate may also be used.
Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures.
Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.
Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with a filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, and/or a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols.
Stabilizers may be added in these formulations, also.
For buccal administration, the compositions and formulations may take the form of tablets or lozenges formulated in conventional manner.
For administration by inhalation, the compounds for use according to the present invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray using a pressurized pack or a nebulizer and a suitable propellant, e. g., without limitation, dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetra-fluoroethane or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be controlled by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, for example, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
The compounds may also be formulated for parenteral administration, e. g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e. g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulating materials such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.
Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of a water soluble form, such as, without limitation, a salt, of the active compound. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared in a lipophilic vehicle. Suitable lipophilic vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, synthetic fatty acid esters such as ethyl oleate and triglycerides, or materials such as liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers and/or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.
Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e. g., sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
The compounds may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, using, e. g., conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
In addition to the formulations described previously, the compounds may also be formulated as depot preparations. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. A compound of this invention may be formulated for this route of administration with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for instance, in an emulsion with a pharmacologically acceptable oil), with ion exchange resins, or as a sparingly soluble derivative such as, without limitation, a sparingly soluble salt.
A non-limiting example of a pharmaceutical carrier for the hydrophobic compounds of the invention is a cosolvent system comprising benzyl alcohol, a nonpolar surfactant, a water-miscible organic polymer and an aqueous phase such as the VPD co-solvent system. VPD is a solution of 3% w/v benzyl alcohol, 8% w/v of the nonpolar surfactant Polysorbate 80tam, and 65% w/v polyethylene glycol 300, made up to volume in absolute ethanol. The VPD co-solvent system (VPD : DSW) consists of VPD diluted 1 : 1 with a 5% dextrose in water solution. This co-solvent system dissolves hydrophobic compounds well, and itself produces low toxicity upon systemic administration. The proportions of such a co-solvent system may be varied considerably without destroying its solubility and toxicity characteristics.
Furthermore, the identity of the co-solvent components may be varied : for example, other low-toxicity nonpolar surfactants may be used instead of Polysorbate 80TM ; the fraction size of polyethylene glycol may be varied ; other biocompatible polymers may replace polyethylene glycol, e. g., polyvinyl pyrrolidone ; and other sugars or polysaccharides may substitute for dextrose.
Alternatively, other delivery systems for hydrophobic pharmaceutical compounds may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well known examples of delivery vehicles or carriers for hydrophobic drugs. In addition, certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide also may be employed, although often at the cost of greater toxicity.
Additionally, the compounds and formulations may be delivered using a sustained-release system, such as semi-permeable matrices of solid hydrophobic
polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various sustained-release materials have been established and are well known by those skilled in the art.
The pharmaceutical compositions and formulations herein also may comprise suitable solid or gel phase carriers or excipients. Examples of such carriers or excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars, starches, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, and polymers such as polyethylene glycols.
Many of the compounds of the invention may be provided as salts with pharmaceutically compatible counterions. Pharmaceutically compatible salts may be formed with many acids, including but not limited to hydrochloric, sulfuric, acetic, lactic, tartaric, malic, succinic, etc. Salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous or other protonic solvents than are the corresponding free base forms.
3-l2, 4-Dimethyl-5-(2-oxo-12-dihvdro-indol-3-vlidenemethYl)-1 H pyrrol-3-yll-propionic acid composition This compound may be formulated as any of the compositions and formulations described above. Presently preferred formulations, however, comprise 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3-yl]- propionic acid composition in sufficient sterile parenteral solution to afford a final concentration of about 10 mg/ml.
3. DOSAGE A. General Compounds, combinations, and pharmaceutical compositions and formulations suitable for use in the present invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an amount sufficient to achieve the intended purpose ; i. e., the modulation of protein kinase (PK) activity or the treatment or prevention of a PK-related disorder.
The above referenced protein kinase related disorder is selected from the group consisting of an EGFR related disorder, a PDGFR related disorder, an IGFR related disorder and a flk related disorder.
The above referenced protein kinase related disorder is a cancer selected from the group consisting of squamous cell carcinoma, sarcomas such as Kaposi's sarcoma, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, colorectal cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, head and neck cancer, melanoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer and glioma in a further aspect of this invention.
The above referenced protein kinase related disorder is selected from the group consisting of diabetes, a hyper-proliferation disorder, von Hippel-Lindau disease, restenosis, fibrosis, psoriasis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory disorder and angiogenesis in yet another aspect of this invention.
Additional disorders which may be treated or prevented using the compounds of this invention are immunological disorders such as autoimmune disease (AIDS) and cardiovasular disorders such as atherosclerosis.
More specifically, a therapeutically effective amount means an amount of compound effective to prevent, alleviate or ameliorate symptoms of disease or prolong the survival of the subject being treated.
Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein.
For any compound used in the methods of the invention, the therapeutically effective amount or dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. Then, the dosage can be formulated for use in animal models so as to achieve a circulating concentration range that includes the ICso as determined in cell culture (i. e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of the PK activity). Such information can then be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.
Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the compounds described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e. g., by determining the ICSO and the LD$o (both of which are discussed elsewhere herein) for a subject compound. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in
humans. The dosage may vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition.
(See e. g., Fingl, et al., 1975, in"The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics", Ch. 1 p. l).
Therapeutic compounds should be more potent in inhibiting receptor tyrosine kinase activity than in exerting a cytotoxic effect. A measure of the effectiveness and cell toxicity of a compound can be obtained by determining the therapeutic index ; i. e., ICso/LDo. IC5o, the dose required to achieve 50% inhibition, can be measured using standard techniques such as those described herein. LDso, the dosage which results in 50% toxicity, can also be measured by standard techniques as well (Mossman, 1983, J. Immunol. Methods, 65 : 55-63), by measuring the amount of LDH released (Korzeniewski and Callewaert, 1983, J. Immunol. Methods, 64 : 313 ; Decker and Lohmann-Matthes, 1988, J. Immunol. Methods, 115 : 61), or by measuring the lethal dose in animal models. Compounds with a large therapeutic index are preferred. Thus, in one aspect of the invention, a preferred dosage of the compounds, agents, combinations, and pharmaceutical compositions contemplated for use in the invention requires the therapeutic index of each active component to be greater than 2, preferably at least 10, more preferably at least 50.
Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active species, which are sufficient to maintain the kinase modulating effects. These plasma levels are referred to as minimal effective concentrations (MECs). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from in vitro data ; e. g., the concentration necessary to achieve 50-90% inhibition of a kinase may be ascertained using the assays described herein. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. HPLC assays or bioassays can be used to determine plasma concentrations.
Dosage intervals can also be determined using MEC value. Compounds should be administered using a regimen that maintains plasma levels above the MEC for 10-90% of the time, preferably between 30-90% and most preferably between 50-90%.
In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration and other procedures known in the art may be employed to determine the correct dosage amount and interval.
The amount of a composition administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, the judgment of the prescribing physician, etc.

Therapeuticallv Effective Amounts In general, a"therapeutically effective amount"refers to that amount of an agent or its metabolite which is effective to prevent, alleviate, reduce or ameliorate symptoms of disease and/or the undesired side effects attributable to treatment of disease with another agent or its metabolite, or to prolong the survival of the patient being treated. More particularly, in reference to the treatment of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount which has the effect of (1) reducing the size of (or preferably eliminating) the tumor ; (2) inhibiting (that is, slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor metastasis ; (3) inhibiting to some extent (that is slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) tumor growth ; and/or, (4) relieving to some extent (or preferably eliminating) one or more symptoms associated with the cancer and/or one or more undesired side effects attributable to treatment of the cancer with another agent or its metabolite. Non- limiting examples of therapeutically effective amounts of particular agents and compounds contemplated for use in the present invention are further described below.
In addition to the above general definition, by a"therapeutically effective amount"of an agent is meant any amount administered in any manner and in any treatment regime as may be currently recognized in the medical arts or as may come about as the result of future developments regarding the use of these agents.
A"treatment regime"refers to specific quantities of the ionizable substituted indolinone contemplated for use in this invention) administered at set times in a set manner over an established time period.
When referring to"set times"of administration within a treatment regime, "consecutive days"means consecutive calendar days ; i. e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc."Staggered"days means calendar days with other calendar days between them, e. g., without limitation, Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, etc.
Furthermore, with regard to a"therapeutically effective amount"of an ionizable substituted indolinone, the phrase refers to an amount of the compound sufficient to inhibit the growth, size and vascularization ; i. e., angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis, of tumors during the"recovery"periods, i. e., the periods in a treatment regime when no other chemotherapeutic agent is being administered to a patient.
Specific Amounts Based on the pharmacological data obtained regarding 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2- oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid composition (see above), the compound may be administered in doses ranging from about 1 mg/m2 to about 3000 mg/m2. In a presently preferred embodiment, the dosage is between about 50 mg/m2 and about 2400 mg/m2. In another preferred embodiment, therapeutically effective amounts of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid composition comprise from about 50 to about 800 mg/m2. Of course, the dose would depend on a number os factors, including patient specific factor, e. g., weight, dosing regimen (e. g., frequency, route of administration, effect of food) etc.
The formulation (s) described in the above composition section may be administered to a patient at a rate of from about 0. 1 to about 200 cc/hour. The rate of administration for a particular patient is dependent on achieving therapeutically relevant plasma levels for the particular indication. The prescribing physician is skilled in making such as determination.
By"about,"wherever the term appears herein, is meant 10% ; i. e., about 175 cc/hour means from 157. 5 cc/hour to 192. 5 cc/hour, etc.
In a presently preferred embodiment, the 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid composition dose is administered during rest periods when no other agent is being administered to a patient.

are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, including any drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that such descriptions are applicable to the present invention and can be easily adapted to it.
SYNTHESIS EXAMPLES The compounds of this invention, as well as the precursor 2-oxindoles and aldehydes, may be readily synthesized using techniques well known in the chemical arts. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other synthetic pathways for forming the compounds of the invention are available and that the following is offered by way of example and not limitation.
A. General synthetic procedure.
The following general methodology may be employed to prepare the compounds of this invention : The appropriately substituted 2-oxindole (1 equiv.), the appropriately substituted aldehyde (1. 2 equiv.) and a base (0. 1 equiv.) are mixed in a solvent (1-2 ml/mmol 2-oxindole) and the mixture is then heated for from about 2 to about 12 hours. After cooling, the precipitate that forms is filtered, washed with cold ethanol or ether and vacuum dried to give the solid product. If no precipitate forms, the reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue is triturated with dichloromethane/ether, the resulting solid is collected by filtration and then dried.
The product may optionally be further purified by chromatography.
The base may be an organic or an inorganic base. If an organic base is used, preferably it is a nitrogen base. Examples of organic nitrogen bases include, but are not limited to, diisopropylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, aniline, pyridine, 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5. 4. 1] undec-7-ene, pyrrolidine and piperidine.
Examples of inorganic bases are, without limitation, ammonia, alkali metal or alkaline earth hydroxides, phosphates, carbonates, bicarbonates, bisulfates and amides.
The alkali metals include, lithium, sodium and potassium while the alkaline earths include calcium, magnesium and barium.
In a presently preferred embodiment of this invention, when the solvent is a protic solvent, such as water or alcohol, the base is an alkali metal or an alkaline earth inorganic base, preferably, a alkali metal or an alkaline earth hydroxide.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art, based both on known general principles of organic synthesis and on the disclosures herein which base would be most appropriate for the reaction contemplated.
The solvent in which the reaction is carried out may be a protic or an aprotic solvent, preferably it is a protic solvent. A"protic solvent"is a solvent which has hydrogen atom (s) covalently bonded to oxygen or nitrogen atoms which renders the hydrogen atoms appreciably acidic and thus capable of being"shared"with a solute through hydrogen bonding. Examples of protic solvents include, without limitation, water and alcohols.
An"aprotic solvent"may be polar or non-polar but, in either case, does not contain acidic hydrogens and therefore is not capable of hydrogen bonding with solutes.
Examples, without limitation, of non-polar aprotic solvents, are pentane, hexane, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. Examples of polar aprotic solvents are chloroform, tetrahydro-furan, dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide.
In a presently preferred embodiment of this invention, the solvent is a protic solvent, preferably water or an alcohol such as ethanol.
The reaction is carried out at temperatures greater than room temperature. The temperature is generally from about 30° C to about 150° C, preferably about 80°C to about 100° C, most preferable about 75° C to about 85° C, which is about the boiling point of ethanol. By"about"is meant that the temperature range is preferably within 10 degrees Celcius of the indicated temperature, more preferably within 5 degrees Celcius of the indicated temperature and, most preferably, within 2 degrees Celcius of the indicated temperature. Thus, for example, by"about 75° C"is meant 75° C i 10° C, preferably 75° C 5° C and most preferably, 75° C + 2° C.
B. Synthetic methods used in the examples which follow :
Method A : Formylation of pyrroles POC13 (1. 1 equiv.) is added dropwise to dimethylformamide (3 equiv.) at- 10° C followed by addition of the appropriate pyrrole dissolved in dimethylformamide. After stirring for two hours, the reaction mixture is diluted with H20 and basified to pH 11 with 10 N KOH. The precipitate which forms is collected by filtration, washed with H20 and dried in a vacuum oven to give the desired aldehyde.
Method B : Saponification of pyrrolecarboxylic acid esters A mixture of a pyrrolecarboxylic acid ester and koh (2-4 equiv.) In etoh is refluxed until reaction completion is indicated by thin layer chromatography (tlc).
The cooled reaction mixtrue is acidified to ph 3 with 1 n hcl. The precipitate which forms is collected by filtration, washed with h2O and dried in a vacuum oven to give the desired pyrrolecarboxylic acid.
Method C : Amidation . To a stirred solution of a pyrrolecarboxylic acid dissolved in dimethylformamide (0. 3M) is added 1-ethyl-3- (3-dimethylamino- propyl) carbodiimide (1. 2 equiv.), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1. 2 equiv.), and triethylamine (2 equiv.). The appropriate amine is added (1 equiv.) and the reaction stirred until completion is indicated by TLC. Ethyl acetate is then added to the reaction mixture and the solution washed with saturated NaHC03 and brine (with extra salt), dried over anhydrous MgS04 and concentrated to afford the desired amide.
Method D : Condensation of aldehydes and oxindoles containing carboxylic acid substituents A mixture of the oxindole (1 equivalent), 1 equivalent of the aldehyde and 1 -3 equivalents of piperidine (or pyrrolidine) in ethanol (0. 4 M) is stirred at 90-100° C until reaction completion is indicated by TLC. The mixture is then concentrated and the residue acidified with 2N HC1. The precipitate that forms is washed with H20 and EtOH and then dried in a vacuum oven to give the product.
Method E : Condensation of aldehydes and oxindoles not containing carboxylic acid substituents A mixture of the oxindole (1 equivalent), 1 equivalent of the aldehyde and 1 -3 equivalents of piperidine (or pyrrolidine) in ethanol (0. 4 M) is stirred at 90-100° C until reaction completion is indicated by TLC. The mixture is cooled to room temperature and the solid which forms is collected by vacuum filtration, washed with ethanol and dried to give the product. If a precipitate does not form upon cooling of the reaction mixture, the mixture is concentrated and purified by column chromatography.

Sulfuryl chloride (435 g) was added dropwise over 145 minutes. As the addition proceeded the mixture turned cloudy and green, then cleared. At the end of the addition the mixture was clear and faintly yellow. The mixture was stirred for 1 additional hour and then heated to reflux for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled and rotary evaporated, diluted with 1500 mL of ether, and rotary evaporated again. The dilution and evaporation was repeated again. The residue was added to 8 L of water containing 802 g of acetic acid and 535 g of sodium hydroxide. The mixture was briefly heated to 85 °C and then allowed to cool overnight with stirring. The
aqueous layer, which contained solids, was separated and extracted with 800 mL of ether. The solids and the ether layer were added to 2. 5 L of water containing 300 g of sodium carbonate, stirred for 1 hour and filtered to remove a small amount (-7 g) of solid. Sulfurous acid (137 g) was added to the mixture and the resulting precipitate washed twice with 250 mL of water and dried under vacuum to give 56. 4 g of product. Sulfurous acid (92 g) was added to the filtrate and the resulting precipitate washed twice with 0. 5 L of water and dried under vacuum to give 220 g of product for a total of 276. 4 g (86. 8 % yield) of 2-carboxy-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3- (2- ethoxycarbonylethyl)-4-methylpyrrole.
2-Carboxy-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3- (2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)-4-methylpyrrole (50. 5 g) and 400 ml 10 % sodium hydroxide solution was heated to 180 °C in a Parr autoclave for 90 minutes. This process was repeated 4 more times until a total of 252. 5 g of 2-carboxy-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3- (2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)-4-methylpyrrole had been treated. The five solutions were combined and rotary evaporated to a volume of about 1. 8 L of thick black residue. The mixture was cooled to 10 °C in a water bath and 50 % sulfuric acid was slowly added so as to keep the temperature at < 20 °C until the pH was 2. Ethyl ether (1400 mL) was added, the mixture filtered and the precipitate saved. The precipitate was extracted in a Soxhlet extractor with 500 mL of ether. The combined ether layers were washed with 250 mL water followed by 150 mL of water. The combined water layers were back extracted with 150 mL of ether. All the ether layers were rotary evaporated and the residue dried to give 123. 5 g of 3- (2-carboxyethyl)-4-methylpyrrole.
3- (2-Carboxyethyl)-4-methylpyrrole (123 g) was mixed with 1500 mL of ethyl ether and 250 mL of methanol in a magnetically stirred receiver flask. A separate 3 L, 3 neck round bottom flask was equipped with magnetic stirring, a distillation head and condenser leading to the inlet of the receiver flask, and heated in a water bath.

distillation continued until complete. The receiver flask was stirred for another 30 minutes and then 10 mL of acetic acid was added. The mixture was extracted twice with 500 mL of water, then twice with 200 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate. The ether layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and distilled to leave a dark fluid residue. The residue was distilled twice through a 4 inch Vigreux column and once through a 10 inch vacuum-jacketed Vigreux column to give 108 g (80. 6 % yield) of 3- (2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)-4-methylpyrrole. BP 108-113 °C at 0. 5 mm.
Dimethylformamide was charged to a 500 mL, 3 neck round bottom flask equipped with mechanical stirring, a thermometer and a dropping funnel and maintained under a nitrogen atmosphere. The flask was cooled to 0 °C and 58. 4 mL of phosphorus oxychloride was added dropwise over 80 minutes. Dichloroethane (280 mL) was added and the mixture allowed to warm to room temperature and then cooled to-10 °C. 3- (2-methoxycarbonyl-ethyl)-4-methylpyrrole (55. 7 g) dissolved in 80 mL dichloroethane was added dropwise over 1 hour and the mixture stirred for another 35 minutes. The mixture was rotary evaporated at < 30 °C. The fluid residue was poured into 2700 mL of ice-cold 2 N sodium hydroxide solution. The resulting solution was heated to 88 °C over 20 minutes and then maintained at this temperature for an additional 30 minutes. The solution was cooled to ambient temperature and extracted with 200 mL of ethyl ether. The aqueous solution was cooled to 0 °C and acidified to pH 3. 5 by slowly adding about 1350 mL of 5 N hydrochloric acid. The yellow precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration, washed four times with 100 mL of water, and dried in a vacuum oven at ambient temperature to give 54. 4 g (90. 2 % yield) of crude 4- (2-carboxyethyl)-2-formyl-3- methylpyrrole.
The crude material was placed in a refluxing mixture of 425 mL of ethanol and 700 mL of ethyl ether and hot filtered to remove an insoluble residue, which was retained. The filtrate was put in the freezer and the resulting precipitate collected by vacuum filtration and washed with 50 mL of ether. The filtrate was used to again extract the insoluble residue, hot filtered and put in the freezer. The resulting precipitate and the first precipitate were combined to give 26. 1 g of 4- (2-
carboxyethyl)-2-formyl-3-methylpyrrole as a brown powder, MP 149. 0-150. 3 °C.
The filtrate was combined with the filtrate from a previous preparation and concentrated to give 43 g of a brown solid. The solid was put into a refluxing mixture of 500 ml ether and 100 mL ethanol, filtered. The filtrate treated with Norit at reflux and hot filtered again. The filtrate was put in the freezer to give 3 additional crops of 4- (2-carboxyethyl)-2-formyl-3-ethylpyrrole, 7. 7 g, MP 148-151 °C, 3. 2 g MP 128-134 °C and 4. 1 g, MP 148. 2-150. 0 °C.

BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION EXAMPLES The examples given below are not limiting and are merely representative of various aspects and features of the present invention. The examples demonstrate parenteral and oral formulations, methods of making such formulations and uses of the formulations. The ionizable free acid, 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro- indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid, is used as a representative example for the genus of ionizable free acids and free bases.
EXAMPLE 1 : In vivo Efficacy of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro- indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid The ability of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)- lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid to inhibit subcutaneous (SC) growth of multiple tumor types in athymic mice was evaluated.
Experimental Procedures Tumor Cell Lines C6, SKOV3 and A431 cell lines were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD). SF763 and SF767 cells were obtained from Dr.
Michael Berens (Barrow Neurological Institute). SF763T, SF767T, and SKOV3TP5 are tumor-derived sublines of SF763, SF767, and SKOV3 cells, respectively.
SF763T, SF767T, and SKOV3TP5 were derived by implanting the parental cells SC into BALB/c nu/nu mice. Tumors that displayed desirable growth characteristics were resected and finely minced in a sterile petri dish.
For the SF763T and SF767T cell lines, two to five mL of appropriate medium was added to the slurry and the tumor pieces were further mechanically teased apart. The resulting suspension was placed into tissue culture flasks and incubated with the appropriate culture medium supplemented with 100 units/mL penicillin G sodium and 100 g/mL streptomycin sulfate (Gibco, Grand Island, NY).
Medium was changed every two to three days. After three to five passages, the antibiotic supplements were removed and the cells maintained in antibiotic-free medium.
For the SKOV3TP5 cells, fragments of resected tumors were injected SC into mice for in vivo passaging. This procedure was repeated five times before cells were returned to culture as described above.
Cell Culture All reagents and media for cell culture were obtained from Life Technologies, Inc. (Gaithersburg, MD). C6 cells were cultured in Ham's F-10 supplemented with 5% FBS and 2mM L-glutamine. A375, A431 and EpH4-VEGF1
cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine.
SKOV3TP5 cells were cultured in McCoy's 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 2mM L-glutamine. Calu-6, SF763T and SF767T cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate and 0. 1 mM MEM non-essential amino acids. All cell cultures were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5-10% CO2.
Subcutaneous Xenograft Models in Athvmic Mice Experiments were conducted in accordance with Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines as listed under protocol SAF029. Tumor cell lines (0. 6-10 x 106 cells/animal ; n = 8-20 animals/group) were implanted SC in the hindflank region of 8-12 week old BALB/c nu/nu female mice. With the exception of experiments where the efficacy of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid on established tumors was evaluated, treatment with either 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro- indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid or vehicle commenced one day post-implantation.
For parenteral dosing, animals received a 50 J. L IP bolus injection of either 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1 H-pyrrol-3-yl]- propionic acid in DMSO or DMSO alone for the indicated number of days. In most experiments, compound was administered daily. In the dosing regimen studies, compound was administered according to the schedules outlined in Table 2.
For oral administration, 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid was delivered by oral gavage (PO) at 200 mg/kg in a Labrasol (D-containing vehicle.
Tumor growth was measured using venier calipers. Tumor volumes were calculated as the product of length x width x height. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's t-test.
Results Significant inhibition of SC tumor growth of Calu-6 (human lung carcinoma) cells in BALB/c nu/nu mice was observed following IP administration of 3- [2, 4-
Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid at 75 and 100 mg/kg/day. At the conclusion of the experiment (Day 25), inhibition of tumor growth was 79 to 86% compared to vehicle-treated control animals, and mortality was 12. 5% at both doses.
In subsequent experiments, 3-[2, 4-Dimethyl-5-(2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid was administered IP to mice which had received implants of tumor xenografts representing several different tissue origins. The results of these studies are summarized in Table 1.

Table 1. Daily administration (except where indicated by *, dosed 3x/week) at the indicated doses (mg/kg/day) in DMSO began one day post-implantation. Percent inhibition compared to the vehicle-treated control group was calculated on the indicated days post-implantation. P values were calculated by comparing mean tumor size of the treated group to mean tumor size of the vehicle control group using the Student's t-test. ns = not significant (P > 0. 05).
Including the Calu-6 data depicted in Table 1, 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid significantly inhibited the SC growth of 6 to 7 tumor cell lines tested, representing tumors of skin, brain, and lung origin. These results suggest that 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid inhibits the in vivo growth of multiple tumor types when administered systemically in a daily regimen.
The studies described above demonstrated that 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid was efficacious at
inhibiting the growth of several tumor types in vivo if drug administration began one day post-implantation. In the clinical scenario, this might simulate therapy on re- growth of tumors following tumor shrinkage by surgical resection or chemotherapy, or following metastastis of cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid as first line therapy, that is, its effect on tumors that are already established, tumors were implanted and allowed to grow to a measurable size (approximately 100 mm3) prior to initiation of drug administration.
C6 cells were implanted SC into athymic mice on day zero. When measurable tumors had developed in a majority of the animals (Day 7), they were divided into 3 groups : Group 1 received daily IP administration of compound (75 mg/kg/day) from Day 7 through Day 16 ; Group 2 received daily IP administration of compound (75 mg/kg/day) from Day 7 through Day 22, and Group 3 received daily IP administration of DMSO from Day 7 though Day 16. On Day 16, all Group 3 animals were humanely sacrificed due to tumor burden (mean tumor diameter approximately 1300 mm3), and the growth of tumors in Groups 1 and 2 was monitored until the mean tumor burden of each group reached 1300 mm3.
The results demonstrate that 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid was efficacious even when the onset of administration was delayed until measurable tumors were present. Furthermore, there was a finite window of efficacy (Days 7 through 21, Group 1) that was not significantly prolonged by continued dosing beyond Day 16 (Group 2).
To assist in the development of a clinical dosing plan, dosing regimen studies were conducted to determine if tumor growth could be inhibited by dosing less frequently than daily. The results are summarized in Table 2. For comparison, the results obtained with daily dosing are included.

C6 cells were implanted SC in BALB/c nu/nu mice. Beginning one day post- implantation, animals received the indicated doses of compound, administered IP according to the schedules indicated. Control animals were dosed with vehicle (DMSO) according to the same schedules. Tumor volumes were measured and percent inhibition was calculated as described in the legend to Figure 1. n = 8-16 animals/group. ns = not significant (P > 0. 05).
These data suggest that 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid can be delivered using a dosing regimen that is less frequent than daily administration. For example, doses of 50 to 75 mg/kg delivered Daily X 5 yielded efficacy similar to that seen when 100 mg/kg was administered Daily X 7. Also, a dose of 100 mg/kg was administered twice weekly or three times weekly yielded statistically significant tumor growth inhibition of approximately 40%. Thus, daily administration of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid is not necessary to achieve significant efficacy in preclinical models.
The efficacy of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)- lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid by the oral route of administration was examined in the C6 (rat glioma) SC xenograft model in athymic mice. Beginning one day post-
implantation, compound (200 mg/kg/day in solution in a Labrasol#-containing vehicle) was administered to mice PO. Tumor growth was measured using venier calipers and tumor volumes were calculated as the product of length x width x height.
In this SC xenograft model, significant inhibition of tumor growth occurred following oral treatment of mice with 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol- 3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid at 200 mg/kg/day. On Day 18 post-implantation, tumor growth was inhibited by 82% compared to vehicle-treated animals, with only 10% mortality. These data demonstrate that 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid effectively inhibited tumor growth when administered PO EXAMPLE 2 : Preformulation Studies Preformulation studies evaluate the physico-chemical properties of the compound and enable formulation development of the compound.

The preformulation studies indicated that the aqueous solubility of the compound could be enhanced about 1000 times by in situ salt formation (e. g., the sodium salt has a solubility of about 25 mg/ml in comparison to the free acid which is about 30 pg/ml). This strategy was used in the formulation development.
EXAMPLE 3 : Parenteral formulations of Ionizable Substituted Indolinone Compounds To be used as a parenteral formulation, and especially an intravenous formulation, a high aqueous solubility of the drug candidate is desirable. The solubility of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-IH- pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid was enhanced several folds by salt formation. The sodium salt of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H- pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid has a solubility of 20 mg/mL compared to the less than 0. 1 mg/mL of the free acid. The solubility of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2- dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl1-propionic acid was either enhanced by using the sodium salt of 3- [2, 4-Dimethyl-5- (2-oxo-1, 2-dihydro-indol-3- ylidenemethyl)-lH-pyrrol-3-yl]-propionic acid or by in situ salt formation using acid equivalents of sodium hydroxide during manufacture of the formulation.
Following salt formation, the formulation was buffered with various solutions, including glutamate, glycine, tris-phosphate and sodium hydroxide solutions, at pH ranging from 8-9 at different buffer strengths (0. 01, 0. 05, and 0. 1 M). Some water miscible cosolvents like PEG-300 in varying amounts (0% to 40%) were used to enhance the solubility and to stabilize the formulation. Addition of other solubilizers, such as Polysorbate 80, was also tested.
The composition of an exemplary formulation are given in Table 6, below.
The formulation if it does not contain any Cremophorg or Polysorbate-80 should be diluted 1 : 1 (one part formulation to 1 part IV fluid) with intravenous fluid such as sterile water for injection, containing 0. 45% sodium chloride, before administration.
The dilution is much higher (1 : 1 to 1 : 50) depending on the concentration of Polyethoxylated 35 Castor Oil (Cremophor EL) and Polysorbate-80 These parenteral formulations can also be administered orally.

Example 5-Oral Administration-Oil Suspension The formulation described below enhance the oral bioaviability of COMPOUND IV in beagle dogs, a preclinical absorption model. At higher doses in fasted conditions, bioavailability studies in beagle dogs indicated that COMPOUND IV coiuld have a low bioavailability due to its poor solubility.
Two oral oil suspension formulations of COMPOUND IV (50mg/gm- formulation F3 and 250 mg/gm) were developed and evaluated in dogs for oral bioavailability. Both formulations contain 50 mg/gm of Pluronic F-68. The formulation at 50 mg/gm of COMPOUND IV contains 900 mgs of sesame oil and the one that contains 250 mg/gm of COMPOUND IV contains 700 mgs of sesame oil.
Another formulation composed of as high as 750 mg/gm drug load of COMPOUND IV (formulation F4) was developed using wet granulation. The
formulation contains 200 mgs sesame oil. An emulsion of oil in water was prepared with 50 mg/gm PLURONICTM F68 as emulsion agent and used as granulating liquid.
