Field of the Invention.

Provided are novel pyrido-pyrimidine derivatives, which can be used as antiinflammatory agents. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more pyrido-pyrimidine derivatives, as well as methods of treating autoimmune diseases, inflammation or associated pathologies, including for example, sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type-1 diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, organ transplant rejection and psoriasis, comprising administering such compounds or pharmaceutical compositions comprising them. Background of the Invention

During the last decade, numerous studies have focused on the roles played by cytokines, a unique class of intercellular regulatory proteins, in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Cytokines play a crucial role in initiating, maintaining, and regulating immunological and inflammatory processes. Advances in our understanding of their role in immune and inflammatory disorders have led to the development of cytokine-based therapies, i.e., therapies that aim to inhibit or restore the activity of specific cytokines. Today, drugs that block inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), are among the most successful agents being introduced to the market.

Elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines viz TNF-α and IL- lα are associated with the pathogenesis of many immune mediated inflammatory disorders, for example, sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, type-1 diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, organ transplant rejection or psoriasis. Inflammation is regulated by a large number of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, which include cytokines, eicosanoids, nitric oxide, and reactive oxygen species. The central role of these inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of both chronic and acute inflammatory diseases is well documented. Until a few years ago, inflammatory disorders were treated primarily with relatively non-selective anti-inflammatory agents, such as corticosteroids and various non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hi recent years, novel therapies have been developed that specifically interfere with the action of selected pro-inflammatory mediators, such as TNFα and PGE2. These specific anti-inflammatory therapies have

already proven to be very successful in treating rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and several other inflammatory diseases.

The development of protein-based therapies that inhibit the activities of tumour- necrosis factor-G! (TNF-O!), including etanercept (Enbrel; Amgen/Wyeth), infliximab (Remicade; Centocor), and adalimumab (Humira; Abbott), has been an important advancement in treating autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The approval of KTNERET, an interleukin-1 (IL-I) receptor antagonist, further indicates the clinical activity of protein-based therapies that regulate cytokine activities. However, current injectable therapies have associated limitations and risks, including the potential for increased malignancies and infections and increased congestive heart failure. Studies in rodent models have provided evidence that targeting specific pathways involved in TKF-O! activities are effective approaches to interrupting the pro-inflammatory process. Oral small molecules that regulate these pathways should be the next significant advancement in treating chronic inflammatory diseases when used either as a monotherapy or in combination with the current inj ectables .

Numerous studies have now established that the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases require cytokine-mediated communication between endothelial cells, infiltrating leukocytes, resident macrophages, mast cells, epithelial cells and osteoclasts. The p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) regulates cytokine levels and therefore plays a central role in both the cellular infiltration and activation responses associated with inflammatory diseases.

The p38 MAPK is a member of a large family of MAPK's whose signaling pathways also include the extracellular regulated kinases (ERK) & the c-jun N terminal kinases (PNK). MAP kinases are serine threonine kinases that transduce environmental stimuli to the nucleus and they themselves are activated by upstream MAPK kinases by phosphorylation on both tyrosine and threonine residues. The MAPK pathways are involved in alterations in cell physiology resulting from a variety of stimuli and control cell death, cell cycle machinery, gene transcription and protein translation. p38α MAPK was first identified as a tyrosine phosphorylated protein in LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) stimulated macrophages. The human p38α MAPK was identified as the target of pyridinyl imidazole compounds (cytokine suppressive anti-inflammatory drugs) that were

known to block TNF-α and IL-I release from LPS stimulated monocytes. After the cloning of first p38MAPK (p38α), additional members of the p38MAPK family were cloned by homology, including the p38α, p38β and p38γ.

The p38 pathway controls the activity of multiple transcription factors and the expression of many genes. There is ample evidence implicating a pivotal role for p38 in inflammatory processes mediated by IL-I and TNF-α. p38 inhibitors have been shown to effectively block both TNFα and IL-I biosynthesis by LPS stimulated human monocytes. hi addition, p38MAPk also plays a role in the production of IL-4, IL-6, IL-8 and IL- 12. p38MAPk is also critical for cell response to certain cytokines. Treatment of human neutrophils with GM-CSF, TNF-α or TGF-α results in p38 activation. GM-CSF and TNF-α are potent enhancers of neutrophil respiratory activity suggesting a role for p38MAPk in respiratory burst. p38 has also been implicated in the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS induced monocytes. COX-2 enzyme is the key enzyme in the production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. Inhibitors of p38MAP kinase are also expected to inhibit COX-2 expression. Accordingly inhibitors of cytokine synthesis would be expected to be effective in disorders currently treated with NSADD 's. These disorders include acute and chronic pain as well as symptoms of inflammation and cardiovascular disease. Compounds, which modulate release of one or more of the aforementioned inflammatory cytokines, can be useful in treating diseases associated with the release of these cytokines.

Inhibition of phosphorylation of EGF receptor Peptide

This assay was carried out in the presence of 10 mM MgC12, 25 mM β- glycerophosphate, 10 % glycerol and 100 mM HEPES buffer at pH 7.6. For a typical IC ₅₀ determination, a stock solution was prepared containing all of the above components and activated p38 (5nM). The stock solution was aliquoted into vials. A fixed volume of

DMSO or inhibitor in DMSO (final concentration of DMSO in the reaction was 5 %) was introduced to each vial, mixed and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature.

EGF receptor peptide, KRELVEPLTPS GEAPNQ ALLR, a phosphoryl acceptor in p38-catalysed kinase reaction (1) was added to each vial to a final concentration of 200μM. The kinase reaction was initiated with ATP (lOOμm) and the vials were incubated at 30 ⁰ C. After 30 minutes, the reactions were quenched with equal volume of 10 % trifluoroacetic acid (TFA).

The phosphorylated peptide was quantified by HPLC analysis. Separation of the phosphorylated peptide from the unphosphorylated peptide was achieved on a reverse phase column (Deltapak, 5 μM,C18 10OD, part no. 011795) with a binary gradient of water and acetonitrile, each containing 0.1 % TFA. IC ₅₀ (concentration of inhibitor yielding 50 % inhibition) was determined by plotting the % activity remaining against inhibitor concentration.

Cell based Assay for TNF-α release Method of isolation of Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells:

Human whole blood was collected in vacutainer tubes containing EDTA as an anti coagulant. A blood sample (7 mL) was carefully layered over 5 mL PMN Cell Isolation Medium (Robbins Scientific) in a 15 mL round bottom centrifuge tubes. The sample was centrifuged at 450-500 x g for 30 - 35 minutes in a swing out rotor at room temperature. After centrifugation the top band of cells were removed and washed 3 times with PBS w/o calcium or magnesium. The cells were centrifuged at 40Ox g for 10 minutes at room temperature. The cells were resuspended in Macrophage Serum Free Medium (Gibco BRL) at concentration of 2 million cells/mL.

LPS stimulation of Human PBMNCs : PBM cells (0.1 mL ; 2 million/niL) were co-incubated with 0.1 mL of compound

(10 -0.41 μM, final concentration) for 1 hour in flat bottom 96 well microtiter plate. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO initially and diluted in TCM for a final concentration of 0.1 % DMSO. LPS (CaI biochem, 20ng/mL, final concentration) was then added at volume of 0.010 mL. Cultures were incubated overnight at 37 ⁰ C). Supernatant was then removed and tested by ELISA for TNF-α release. Viability was

analyzed using MTT. After 0.1 mL supernatant was collected, 0.1 mL of 0.25mg/mL of MTT was added to remaining 0.1 mL of cells. The cells were incubated at 37 ⁰ C for 2-4 hours, then the O.D was measured at 490-650 urn.

The TNF-α levels released in the culture medium was quantified by ELISA. Tested compounds exhibited inhibitory activity of TNF-α levels (expressed as IC ₅₀ ) of from about 2.3 nM to about 1000 nM, from about 2.3 nM to about 300 nM, and from about 2.3 nM to about 55 nM.

Tested compounds exhibited p38 kinase inhibitory activity (expressed as IC ₅₀ ) of from about 4.5 nM to about 32000 nM, from about 4.5 nM to about 300 nM and from about 4.5 nM to about 20 nM.
