[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S Provisional Application No. 60/584,768, filed July 1, 2004, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to compounds that inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of growth factor receptors such as HERl, HER2, HER4, VEGFR-2, FGFR-I, and PDGFR thereby making them useful as anti-cancer agents. The compounds are also useful in the treatment of diseases, other than cancer, which are associated with signal transduction pathways operating through these growth factor receptors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are important in the transmission of biochemical signals across the plasma membrane of cells. These transmembrane molecules characteristically consist of an extracellular ligand-binding domain connected through a segment in the plasma membrane to an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. [0004] The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family consists of four distinct receptor tyrosine kinases referred to HERl, HER2, HER3, and HER4. These kinases are also referred to as erbBl, erbB2, etc. HERl is also commonly referred to as the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. With the exception of HER3, these receptors have intrinsic protein kinase activity that is specific for tyrosine residues of phosphoacceptor proteins. The HER kinases are expressed in most epithelial cells as well as tumor cells of epithelial origin. They are also often expressed in tumor cells of mesenchymal origin such as sarcomas or rhabdomyosarcomas. RTKs such as HERl and HER2 are involved in cell proliferation and are associated with diseases such as psoriasis and cancer. Disruption of signal transduction by inhibition of these kinases would have an antiproliferative and therapeutic effect. [0005] The enzymatic activity of receptor tyrosine kinases can be stimulated by either overexpression, or by ligand-mediated dimerization. The formation of homodimers as well as heterodimers has been demonstrated for the HER receptor family. An example of homodimerization is the dimerization of EERl (EGF receptor) by one of the EGF family of ligands (which includes EGF, transforming growth factor alpha, betacellulin, heparin-binding EGF, and epiregulin). Heterodimerization among the four HER receptor kinases can be promoted by binding to members of the heregulin (also referred to neuregulin) family of ligands. Such heterodimerization as involving HER2 and HER3, or a HER3/HER4 combination, results in a significant stimulation of the tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor dimers even though one of the receptors (HER3) is enzymatically inert. The kinase activity of HER2 has been shown to be activated also by virtue of overexpression of the receptor alone in a variety of cell types. Activation of receptor homodimers and heterodimers results in phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on the receptors and on other intracellular proteins. This is followed by the activation of intracellular signaling pathways such as those involving the microtubule associated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase). Activation of these pathways have been shown to lead to cell proliferation and the inhibition of apoptosis. Inhibition of HER kinase signaling has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and survival. [0006] Other RTKs such as VEGFR-2 are associated with the proliferation of endothelial cells as well as tumor cells. Disruption of this pathway would have an antiproliferative effect and a therapeutic effect on disorders related to vasculogenesis or angiogenesis.

[0044] Compounds of the formula I may also have prodrug forms. Any compound that will be converted in vivo to provide the bioactive agent (i.e., the compound for formulas I) is a prodrug within the scope and spirit of the invention. [0045] Various forms of prodrugs are well known in the art. For examples of such prodrug derivatives, see: a) Design of Prodrugs, edited by H. Bundgaard, (Elsevier, 1985) and Methods in Enzymology, Vol.112, p. 309-396, edited by K. Widder, et al.

[0046] It should further be understood that solvates (e.g., hydrates) of the compounds of formula I are also with the scope of the present invention. Methods of • solvation are generally known in the art. USE AND UTILITY [0047] The present invention is based on the discovery that certain pyrrolotriazines are inhibitors of protein kinases. More specifically, pyrrolotriazines such as those described in this invention inhibit the protein tyrosine kinase activity of members of the HER family of receptors. These inhibitors will be useful in the treatment of proliferative diseases that are dependent on signaling by one or more of these receptors. Such diseases include psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and solid tumors of the lung, head and neck, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate. The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition of compound of formula I, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in the treatment of hyperproliferative disorder in mammal. In particular, the said pharmaceutical composition is expected to inhibit the growth of those primary and recurrent solid tumors which are associated with HERl (EGF receptor) and HER2, especially those tumors which are significantly dependent on HERl or HER2 for their growth and spread, including for example, cancers of the bladder, squamous cell, head, colorectal, esophageal, gynecological (such as ovarian), pancreas, breast, prostate, vulva, skin, brain, genitourinary tract, lymphatic system (such as thyroid), stomach, larynx and lung. In another embodiment, the compounds of the present invention are also useful in the treatment of noncancerous disorders such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. [0048] Thus according to a further aspect of the invention there is provided the use of a compound of the formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the production of an antiproliferative effect in a mammalian species such as a human being. [0049] According to a further feature of the invention there is provided a method for producing an antiproliferative effect in a mammalian species, such as a human being, in need of such treatment which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as defined herein before. [0050] By virtue of their ability to inhibit HERl , HER2, and HER4 kinases, compounds of the present invention can be used for the treatment of proliferative diseases, including psoriasis and cancer. The HERl receptor kinase has been shown to be expressed and activated in many solid tumors including head and neck, prostate, non-small cell lung, colorectal, and breast cancer. Similarly, the HER2 receptor kinase has been shown to be overexpressed in breast, ovarian, lung and gastric cancer. Monoclonal antibodies that downregulate the abundance of the HER2 receptor or inhibit signaling by the HERl receptor have shown anti-tumor efficacy in preclincal and clinical studies. It is therefore expected that inhibitors of the HERl and HER2 kinases will have efficacy in the treatment of tumors that depend on signaling from either of the two receptors. In addition, these compounds will have efficacy in inhibiting tumors that rely on HER receptor heterodimer signaling. These compounds are expected to have efficacy either as single agent or in combination (simultaneous or sequentially) with other chemotherapeutic agens such as Taxol, adriamycin, and cisplatin. Since HERl and HER2 signaling has been shown to regulate expression of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin 8 (IL8), these compounds are expected to have anti-tumor efficacy resulting from the inhibition of angiogenesis in addition to the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and survival. The HER2 receptor has been shown to be involved in the hyperproliferation of synovial cells in rheumatoid arthritis, and may contribute to the angiogenic component of that inflammatory disease state. The inhibitors described in this invention are therefore expected to have efficacy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The ability of these compounds to inhibit HERl further adds to their use as anti-angiogenic agents.

[0051] The antiproliferative treatment defined herein before may be applied as a sole therapy or may involve, in addition to a compound of the invention, one or more other substances and/or treatments. Such treatment may be achieved by way of the simultaneous, sequential or separate administration of the individual components of the treatment. The compounds of this invention may also be useful in combination with known anti-cancer and cytotoxic agents and treatments, including radiation. If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described below and the other pharmaceutically active agent within its approved dosage range. Compounds of formula I may be used sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents and treatment, including radiation when a combination formulation is inappropriate. [0052] In the field of medical oncology it is normal practice to use a combination of different forms of treatment to treat each patient with cancer. In medical oncology the other component(s) of such conjoint treatment in addition to the antiproliferative treatment defined herein before may be: surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Such chemotherapy may cover three main categories of therapeutic agent: (i) antiangiogenic agents that work by different mechanisms from those defined hereinbefore (for example, linomide, inhibitors of integrin αvβ3 function, angiostatin, razoxane); (ii) cytostatic agents such as antiestrogens (for example, tamoxifen, toremifene, raloxifene, droloxifene, iodoxifene), progestogens (for example megestrol acetate), aromatase inhibitors (for example anastrozole, letrozole, borazole, exemestane), antihormones, antiprogestogens, antiandrogens (for example flutamide, nilutamide, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate), LHRH agonists and antagonists (for example, gosereline acetate, leuprolide), inhibitors of testosterone 5α-dihydroreductase (for example, finasteride), farnesyltransferase inhibitors, anti-invasion agents (for example, metalloproteinase inhibitors like marimastat and inhibitors of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor function) and inhibitors of growth factor function, (such growth factors include for example, EGF, FGF, platelet derived growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor such inhibitors include growth factor antibodies, growth factor receptor antibodies such as Avastin® (bevacizumab) and Erbitux® (cetuximab); tyrosine kinase inhibitors and serine/threonine kinase inhibitors); and (iii) antiproliferative/antineoplastic drugs and combinations thereof, as used in medical oncology, such as antimetabolites (for example antifolates like methotrexate, fluoropyrimidines like 5-fluorouracil, purine and adenosine analogues, cytosine arabinoside); Intercalating antitumour antibiotics (for example anthracyclines like doxorubicin, daunomycin, epirubicin and idarubicin, mitomycin-C, dactinomycin, mithramycin); platinum derivatives (for example cisplatin, carboplatin); alkylating agents (for example nitrogen mustard, melphalan, chlorambucil, busulphan, cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide nitrosoureas, thiotepa; antimitotic agents (for example vinca alkaloids like vincristine and taxoids like Taxol® (paclitaxel), Taxotere® (docetaxel) and newer microbtubule agents such as epothilone analogs, discodermolide analogs, and eleutherobin analogs); topoisomerase inhibitors (for example epipodophyllotoxins like etoposide and teniposide, amsacrine, topotecan); cell cycle inhibitors; biological response modifiers and proteasome inhibitors such as Velcade® (bortezomib). [0053] As stated above, the formula I compounds of the present invention are of interest for their antiproliferative effects. Such compounds of the invention are expected to be useful in a wide range of disease states including cancer, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis. [0054] More specifically, the compounds of formula I are useful in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including (but not limited to) the following: -carcinoma, including that of the bladder, breast, colon, kidney, liver, lung, including small cell lung cancer, esophagus, gall bladder, ovary, pancreas, stomach, cervix, thyroid, prostate, and skin, including squamous cell carcinoma; -tumors of mesenchymal origin, including fibrosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma; - tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system, including astrocytoma, neuroblastoma, glioma and schwannomas; and -other tumors, including melanoma, seminoma, teratocarcinoma, and osteosarcoma. [0055] Due to the key role of kinases in the regulation of cellular proliferation in general, inhibitors could act as reversible cytostatic agents which may be useful in the treatment of any disease process which features abnormal cellular proliferation, e.g., benign prostate hyperplasia, familial adenomatosis polyposis, neuro-fibromatosis, pulmonary fibrosis, arthritis, psoriasis, glomerulonephritis, restenosis following angioplasty or vascular surgery, hypertrophic scar formation and inflammatory bowel disease [0056] The compounds of formula I are especially useful in treatment of tumors having a high incidence of tyrosine kinase activity, such as colon, lung, and pancreatic tumors. By the administration of a composition (or a combination) of the compounds of this invention, development of tumors in a mammalian host is reduced. [0057] Compounds of formula I may also be useful in the treatment of diseases other than cancer that may be associated with signal transduction pathways operating through growth factor receptors such as HERl (EGF receptor), HER2, or HER4. [0058] The compounds of this invention may be formulated with a pharmaceutical vehicle or diluent for oral, intravenous or subcutaneous administration. The pharmaceutical composition can be formulated in a classical manner using solid or liquid vehicles, diluents and additives appropriate to the desired mode of administration. Orally, the compounds can be administered in the form of tablets, capsules, granules, powders, suspensions and the like. The compounds may be administered in a dosage range of about 0.05 to 300 mg/kg/day, preferably less than 200 mg/kg/day, in a single dose or in 2 to 4 divided doses. [0059] The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non¬ toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium crosscarmellose, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to mask the unpleasant taste of the drug or delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a water soluble taste masking material such as hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose or hydroxypropyl-cellulose, or a time delay material such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate buryrate may be employed. [0060] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. [0061] Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethylene- oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n- propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose, saccharin or aspartame. [0062] Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisol or alpha-tocopherol. [0063] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid. [0064] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening, flavoring agents, preservatives and antioxidants. [0065] Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative, flavoring and coloring agents and antioxidant. [0066] The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous solutions. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. [0067] The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable oil-in- water microemulsion where the active ingredient is dissolved in the oily phase. For example, the active ingredient may be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulation. [0068] The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound. In order to maintain such a constant concentration, a continuous intravenous delivery device may be utilized. An example of such a device is the Deltec CADD-PLUS .TM. model 5400 intravenous pump. [0069] The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. This suspension may be formulated according to the known ait using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables. [0070] Compounds of Formula I may also be administered in the form of a suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drag with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drag. Such materials include cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol. [0071] For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compound of Formula I are employed. (For purposes of this application, topical application shall include mouth washes and gargles.) [0072] The compounds for the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles and delivery devices, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Compounds of the present invention may also be delivered as a suppository employing bases such as cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol. [0073] When a compound according to this invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, sex and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms. [0074] If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutically active agent or treatment within its approved dosage range. Compounds of formula I may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of formula I may be administered either prior to or after administration of the known anticancer or cytotoxic agent(s). [0075] The compounds may be administered in a dosage range of about 0.05 to 200 mg/kg/day, preferably less than 100 mg/kg/day, in a single dose or in 2 to 4 divided doses. BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS

HERl. HER2 or HER4 Kinase assays; [0076] Compounds of interest were assayed in a kinase buffer that contained 20 mM Tris.HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MnCl2, 0.5 mM dithiothreitol, bovine serum albumin at 0.1 mg/ml, poly(glu/tyr, 4:1) at 0.1 mg/ml, 1 μM ATP, and 4 μCi/ml [γ-33P]ATP. Poly(glu/tyr, 4:1) is a synthetic polymer that serves as a phosphoryl acceptor and is purchased from Sigma Chemicals. The kinase reaction is initiated by the addition of enzyme and the reaction mixtures were incubated at 26 °C for 1 h. The reaction is terminated by the addition of EDTA to 50 mM and proteins are precipitated by the addition of trichloroacetic acid to 5%. The precipitated proteins are recovered by filtration onto Packard Unifilter plates and the amount of radioactivity incorporated is measured in a Topcount scintillation counter. [0077] For the preparation of recombinant HERl and HER4, the cytoplasmic sequences of the receptors were expressed in insect cells as GST fusion proteins, which were purified by affinity chromatography. The cytoplasmic sequence of HER2 was subcloned into the baculovirus expression vector pBlueBac4 (Invitrogen) and was expressed as an untagged protein in insect cells. The recombinant protein was partially purified by ion-exchange chromatography. [0078] The instant compounds inhibit HERl , HER2, and HER4 kinases with IC50 values between 0.001 and 25 μM. Preferred compounds have IC50 values between 0.001 - 5.0 μM. More preferred compounds have IC50 values between 0.001 - 1.0 μM. Most preferred compounds have IC50 values between 0.001 - 0.1 μM. [0079] A HERG potassium channel assay may be used to screen compounds for HERG activity (see Caballero R, et al, Direct Effects of Candesartan and Eprosartan on Human Cloned Potassium Channels Involved in Cardiac Repolarization, Molecular Pharmacology, Vol. 59, No. 4, pp. 825-36, 2001). Accordingly, preferred compounds have lower HERG assay activity.

METHODS OF PREPARATION [0080] Certain compounds of formula I may generally be prepared according to the following schemes and the knowledge of one skilled in the art. Supplemental preparation information may also be found in co-pending US patent application serial number 09/573,829 filed May 18, 2000 and international applications published under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), International Publication Number WO 00/71129 and WO 03/042172, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Scheme 1

ts

Mi

iv [0081] Step 1: The first step of Scheme 1 involves oxidation of the 5- hydroxymethyl pyrrolotriazine i (Ref. WO 03/042172 A2) to the aldehyde ii. This can be accomplished with a variety of oxidizing agents, e.g., manganese dioxide.

[0082] Step 2: The aldehyde ii undergoes a Bayer-Villiger rearrangement (review: G. R. Krow, Organic Reactions, 1993, 43, 251) with concomitant hydrolysis of the formate ester intermediate on treatment with the appropriate oxidant to give iii.

[0083] Step 3: Treatment of iii with a base such a NaH in an anhydrous solvent such as DMF with the appropriate alkylating agent (e.g., alkyl halides, dialkyl sulfates, alkyl triflates) gives, after the removal of any protecting groups that were on the alkylating agent and/or after the modification or further elaboration of functional groups that were on this residue, the final product, iv. Alternatively, the Mitsunobu reaction (review: D. L. Hughes, Organic Reactions, 1992, 42, 335) of iii with the appropriate alcohol gives, after the removal of any protecting groups that were on the alkylating agent and/or after the modification or further elaboration of functional groups that were on this residue, the final product, iv. Other variants of the Mitsunobu reaction can also be used for this, e.g., T. Tsunoda et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36, 2529.

Scheme 2

viii ix x

wherein E is an ester group and PO is a protected hydroxy group and Y is a halogen [0084] Step 1: The first step of Scheme 1, involves protection of the 3-hydroxy group of a 3-hydroxy-lH-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ester v (T. Momose et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 1978, 26, 2224) to give vi. Various protected alcohol groups can be used for this, e.g., arylsulfonates or substituted benzyl ethers. These protecting groups are attached by treatment of v with a base such as diisopropylethylamine in an anhydrous solvent such as DCM followed by an arylsulfonyl halide, or an arylsulfonic anhydride or by treatment of v with a base such as NaH in an anhydrous solvent such as THF or DMF followed by a benzyl halide or a substituted benzyl halide.

[0085] Step 2: This involves treating the pyrrole vi with a base such as potassium t-butoxide or sodium hydride in an anhydrous solvent such as THF or DMF followed by an animating reagent, such as O-(2,4-dinitro-phenyl)-hydroxylamine (T. Sheradsky, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 1967, 4, 413) or chloramines (I. P. Sword, J. Chem. Soc. C, 1971, 820) to give the 1-aminopyrrole vii.

[0086] Step 3: The 1-aminopyrrole vii is heated with excess formamide to give the pyrrolotriazinone viii. [0087] Step 4: Compound viii is converted to a 4-halo-pyrrolotriazine ix by heating with the appropriate phosphorus oxyhalide, e.g., the 4-chloro-pyrrolotriazine ix is obtained by heating viii with phosphorus oxychloride. [0088] Step 5: Treatment of viii with the appropriate amine, alcohol or thiol in the presence of a base such as NaHCO3 or triethylamine in a solvent such as acetonitrile affords x. Alternatively, heating a mixture of viii and the appropriate amine in a alcoholic solvent or a solvent mixture such as that of an alcohol and 1,2- dichloroethane affords the acid (HX) salt of x.

[0089] Step 6: Standard removal of the protecting group of vi gives the 5- hydroxypyrroltriazine iii which can be converted to the final product iv as was outlined in Scheme 1.

[0090] In addition, other compounds of formula I may be prepared using procedures generally known to those skilled in the art. In particular, the following examples provide additional methods for the preparation of the compounds of this invention. [0091] Unless otherwise indicated, "HPLC Ret. Time" is the HPLC retention time that was obtained under the following conditions: column type and length, gradient time (unless otherwise indicated, all gradients started with 100 % solvent A and ended with 100 % solvent B; for Phenomenex Primeshpere columns, solvent A was a mixture of CH3CN : water : 5.0 M NH4OAc = 1 : 9 : 0.005 and solvent B was CH3CN : water : 5.0 M NH4OAc = 9 : 1 : 0.005; for YMC xterra columns, solvent A was a mixture of MeOH : water : TFA = 1 : 9 : 0.01 and solvent B was MeOH : water : TFA = 9 : 1 : 0.01), flow rate (mL/min). UV detection was always conducted at 220 nM.
