Description

Selective Anthranilamide Pyridinamides as VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 Inhibitors The invention relates to selective anthranilamide pyridinamides as VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 inhibitors, their production and use as pharmaceutical agents for treating diseases that are triggered by persistent angiogenesis.
Persistent angiogenesis can be the cause of various diseases, such as psoriasis;
arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemangioma, endometriosis, angiofibroma; eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma; renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombotic microangiopathic syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy; fibrotic diseases, such as cirrhosis of the liver, mesangial cell proliferative diseases and arteriosclerosis or can result in an aggravation of these diseases.
Persistent angiogenesis is induced by the factor VEGF via its receptor. So that VEGF can exert this action, it is necessary that VEGF bind to the receptor, and a tyrosine phosphorylation is induced.
Direct or indirect inhibition of the VEGF receptor (VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor) can be used for treating such diseases and other VEGF-induced pathological angiogenesis and vascular permeable conditions, such as tumor vascularization. For example, it is known that the growth of tumors can be inhibited by soluble receptors and antibodies against VEGF.
Anthranilic acid amides that are used as pharmaceutical agents for treating psoriasis; arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemangioma, angiofibroma;
eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma; renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombic microangiopathic syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy; fibrotic diseases, such as cirrhosis of the liver, mesangial cell proliferative diseases, arteriosclerosis, injuries to nerve tissue, and for inhibiting the reocclusion of vessels after balloon catheter treatment, in vascular prosthetics or after mechanical devices are used to keep vessels open, such as, e.g., stems, are known from WO 00127819.
Strong angiogenesis is a prerequisite for the proliferation of the extrauterine endometrium in the case of endometriosis. Angiogenesis inhibition can therefore also be used for the treatment of this form of disease that causes painful conditions and often results in infertility.
The known compounds are generally effective in the indications cited, but their effectiveness generally accompanies toxicity and an inferior compatibility of the medication.
There is therefore a desire, on the one hand, for more effective compounds, and, on the other hand, for more toxicologically harmless compounds, which, moreover, should also be more compatible.
It has now been found that compounds of general formula I

The compounds according to the invention as well as their physiologically compatible salts prevent a tyrosine phosphorylation or stop the persistent angiogenesis and thus the growth and a propagation of tumors, whereby they are distinguished in particular by a slighter inhibition of isoforms of Cytochrome P 450 (2C9 and 2C 19).
Medication using the compounds according to the invention can therefore be done at no risk even without regard to pharmaceutical agents that are administered at the same time and that are degraded via these isoforms.
The compounds of formula I as well as their physiologically compatible salts can be used as pharmaceutical agents based on their inhibitory activity relative to the 1?

phosphorylation of the VEGF receptor. Based on their profile of action, the compounds according to the invention are suitable for treating diseases that are caused or promoted by persistent angiogenesis.
Since the compounds of formula I are identified as inhibitors of the tyrosine kinases VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, they are suitable in particular for treating those diseases that are caused or promoted by persistent angiogenesis that is triggered via the VEGF receptor or by an increase in vascular permeability.
The subject of this invention is also the use of the compounds according to the invention as inhibitors of the tyrosine kinases VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2, or KDR
and FLT.
Subjects of this invention are thus also pharmaceutical agents for treating tumors or use thereof.
The compounds according to the invention can be used either alone or in a formulation as pharmaceutical agents for treating psoriasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, restenosis, such as, e.g., stmt-induced restenosis, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Hodgkin's disease, leukemia; arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemangioma, angiofibroma; eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma; renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombic microangiopathic syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy; fibrotic diseases, such as cirrhosis of the liver, mesangial cell proliferative diseases, arteriosclerosis, injuries to nerve tissue, and for inhibiting the reocclusion of vessels after balloon catheter treatment, in vascular prosthetics or after mechanical devices are used to keep vessels open, such as, e.g., stems, as immunosuppressive agents, for supporting scar-free healing, in senile keratosis and in contact dermatitis.

In treating injuries to nerve tissue, quick scar formation on the injury sites can be prevented with the compounds according to the invention, i.e., scar formation is prevented from occurring before the axons reconnect. A reconstruction of the nerve compounds was thus facilitated.
The formation of ascites in patients can also be suppressed with the compounds according to the invention. VEGF-induced edemas can also be suppressed.
Lymphangiogenesis plays an important role in lymphogenic metastasizing (Karpanen, T. et al., Cancere Res. 2001 Mar l, 61(5): 1786-90, Veikkola, T., et al., EMBO J. 2001, Mar 15; 20 (6): 1223-31).
The compounds according to the invention now also show excellent action as VEGFR kinase 3 inhibitors and are therefore also suitable as effective inhibitors of lymphangiogenesis.
By a treatment with the compounds according to the invention, not only a reduction in the size of metastases but also a reduction in the number of metastases is achieved.
The compounds according to the invention are also effective in the case of diseases that are associated with excessive lymphangiogenesis and are therefore expected in the lymphangiohyperplasia and - dysplasia syndrome.
Such pharmaceutical agents, their formulations and uses, are also subjects of this invention.
The invention thus also relates to the use of the compounds of general formula I
for the production of a pharmaceutical agent for use as or for treatment of psoriasis, Kaposi's sarcoma, restenosis, such as, e.g., stmt-induced restenosis, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Hodgkin's disease, leukemia; arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, hemangioma, angiofibroma; eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma; renal diseases, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, malignant nephrosclerosis, thrombic microangiopathic syndrome, transplant rejections and glomerulopathy; fibrotic diseases, such as cirrhosis of the liver, mesangial cell proliferative diseases, arteriosclerosis, injuries to nerve tissue, and for inhibiting the reocclusion of vessels after balloon catheter treatment, in vascular prosthetics or after mechanical devices are used to keep vessels open, such as, e.g., stems, as immunosuppressive agents, for supporting scar-free healing, in senile keratosis and in contact dermatitis.
The formation of ascites in patients can also be suppressed with the compounds according to the invention. VEGF-induced edemas can also be suppressed.
To use the compounds of formula I as pharmaceutical agents, the latter are brought into the form of a pharmaceutical preparation, which in addition to the active ingredient for enteral or parenteral administration contains suitable pharmaceutical, organic or inorganic inert Garner materials, such as, for example, water, gelatin, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetable oils, polyalkylene glycols, etc. The pharmaceutical preparations can be present in solid form, for example as tablets, coated tablets, suppositories, capsules or in liquid form, for example as solutions, suspensions or emulsions. They also contain, moreover, adjuvants such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents or emulsifiers, salts for changing osmotic pressure or buffers.
For parenteral administration, especially injection solutions or suspensions, especially aqueous solutions of the active compounds in polyhydroxyethoxylated castor oil, are suitable.

As carrier systems, surface-active adjuvants such as salts of bile acids or animal or plant phospholipids, but also mixtures thereof as well as liposomes or components thereof can also be used.
For oral administration, especially tablets, coated tablets or capsules with talc and/or hydrocarbon vehicles or binders, such as for example, lactose, corn starch or potato starch, are suitable. The administration can also be carned out in liquid form, such as, for example, as juice, to which optionally a sweetener or, if necessary, one or more flavoring substances, is added.
The dosage of the active ingredients can vary depending on the method of administration, age and weight of the patient, type and severity of the disease to be treated and similar factors. The daily dose is 0.5-1000 mg, preferably 50-200 mg, whereby the dose can be given as a single dose to be administered once or divided into 2 or more daily doses.
The above-described formulations and forms for dispensing are also subjects of this invention.
The production of the compounds according to the invention is carried out according to methods that are known in the art. For example, compounds of formula I
are obtained, in that a compound of general formula II

(IV), in which A, B, D, G, L, M, Q, W, R8 and R9 have the meanings that are indicated in general formula I, and R" means an ester or acid group, is converted into the corresponding amide.
The amide formation is carned out according to methods that are known in the literature.
For amide formation, it is possible to start from a corresponding ester. The ester is reacted according to 3. Org. Chem. 1995, 8414 with aluminum trimethyl and the corresponding amine in solvents such as toluene at temperatures of 0°C to the boiling point of the solvent. If the molecule contains two ester groups, both are converted into the same amide. Instead of aluminum trimethyl, sodium hexamethyldisilazide can also be used.
For amide formation, however, all processes that are known from peptide chemistry are also available. For example, the corresponding acid can be reacted with the amine in aprotic polar solvents, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, via an activated acid derivative, obtainable, for example, with hydroxybenzotriazole and a carbodiimide, such as, for example, diisopropylcarbodiimide, or else with preformed reagents, such as, for example, HATU CChem. Comm. 1994, 201 ) or BTU, at temperatures of between 0°C and the boiling point of the solvent, preferably at 80°C.
For the amide formation, the process can also be used with the mixed acid anhydride, imidazolide or azide.
Nitriles can also be saponified to form amides according to processes that are known in the literature. The reaction with potassium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide is very effective in an aprotic polar solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, preferably at room temperature according to Synthesis, 1989, 949.

"Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses," Academic Press 1985, New York, pp. 179 ff.) or with vinylboronic acids or vinylboronic acid esters in a Suzuki reaction (cf. Tetrahedron Lett.

Chem. 1985, 57, 1771 ), or b. is coupled with any substituted terminal alkines, for example, according to the method of Stephens-Castro (cf. J. Org. Chem. 1963, 28, 3313 ff.) or palladium-catalyzed according to the method of Sonogashira (cf. "Comprehensive Organic Synthesis: Carbon-Carbon 6-Bond Formation," Pergamon Press 1991, Oxford UK, Volume 3, pp.

2000, 122, 4020 ff.) or with aryl and hetaryl stannanes in a Stifle reaction (cf. Angew. Chem. 1986, 98, 504 ff. or Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.
1999, 38, 2411 ff.) or with aryl and hetaryl Grignard compounds or the analogous zinc-organic derivatives in a Negishi reaction (cf. "Metal-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reaction," Eds. Diederich/Stang, Wiley-VCH 1998, New York, Chapter I or else J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 2719 f~), or d. is converted in a palladium-catalyzed carbonylation under 1 to 20 bar of carbon monoxide atmosphere in dimethylformamide in the presence of the corresponding alcohol (cf. "Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses," Academic Press 1985, New York, pp. 352 ff. or Synth.
Comm. 1997, 27, 515 ff.) into the corresponding carboxylic acid ester, or e. is converted in a palladium-catalyzed carbonylation under 1 to 20 bar of carbon monoxide atmosphere in dimethylformamide-water mixtures into the corresponding carboxylic acid (cf. J. Org. Chem. 1981, 46, 4614 ff.). The carboxylic acids can also be obtained by saponification of the carboxylic acid esters, or f. the corresponding carboxylic acid amides are produced in a palladium-catalyzed carbonylation under 1 to 20 bar of carbon monoxide atmosphere in dimethylformamide in the presence of amines (cf.
"Palladium Reagents in Organic Syntheses," Academic Press 1985, New York, pp. 352 ff., Tetrahedron Lett. 1982, 23, 3383 ff.). The synthesis of the carboxylic acid amides can also be carned out from carboxylic acid esters; the method according to Weinreb has especially proven its value here (cf. Tetrahedron Lett. 1977, 17, 4171 ff., J. Org.
Chem. 1995, 60, 8414 ff.). The carboxylic acid amides can also be synthesized from the carboxylic acids that are produced under e);
basically all processes that are known from the peptide chemistry are available for this purpose (cf. Synthesis 1972, 453-63 or "Comprehensive Organic Transformations," Wiley-VCH 1989, New York, 972-6). For example, the corresponding carboxylic acid in aprotic polar solvents, such as, for example dimethylformamide, can be reacted with an activated carboxylic acid derivative, produced, for example, by adding carbonyldiimidazole, at temperatures of between 0-120°C, preferably at room temperature, with amines, such as, for example HATU CChem. Comm. 1994, 201 ), or g. the corresponding sulfide is converted with thioalkylene, thioarylene and thiohetarylene directly, in the presence of bases, such as, for example, potassium hydride or potassium tert-butanolate or transition metals, such as, for example, copper chips, copper chloride or copper bromide or palladium dichloride in aprotic solvents, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or xylene at temperatures of between 20-200°C. The execution of the- reaction in a microwave device can turn out to be advantageous in this case (cf. Tetrahedron 1983, 39, 4153 ff.). The production of 2-thio-substituted pyridyl derivatives can also be carried out easily from the 2-pyridone derivative after thionylation with phosphorus pentasulfide (cf. Bull. Soc. Chim. Fr.; 1953; 1001 ff.) or Lawesson's reagent (Tetrahedron 1984, 40, 2047 f~) and subsequent alkylation with alkyl halides, preferably with alkyl iodides (cf. J. Org.
Chem. 1999; 64, 7935-9) or alkyl sulfonates, preferably alkyltrifluoromethylsulfonates.
h. The corresponding sulfoxides can be obtained by oxidation of sulfides with standard oxidizing agents, such as, for example, hydrogen peroxide, sodium periodate, tent-butoxy hypochlorite, sodium chlorite, metachloroperbenzoic acid, trifluoroperoxyacetic acid, dimethyl dioxiram, cerium ammonium nitrate or nitric acid (cf. "Oxidations in Organic Chemistry," ACS Washington 1990, pp. 252-63) in solvents, such as, for example, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidinone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethoxyethane, diglyme, tetraglyme or water, at temperatures of between 20°C and the boiling point of the solvent. The thus obtained sulfoxides can further be oxidized to the corresponding sulfones; the latter is achieved, for example, by oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, sodium perborate or potassium hydrogen persulfate (c~
Tetrahedron Lett. 1981, 22, 1287 ff.) in solvents, such as, for example, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or water, at temperatures of between 20°C and the boiling point of the solvent. The treatment of sulfides with an excess of the above-cited oxidizing agents results directly in the corresponding sulfones (cf. "The Chemistry of Sulphones and Sulfoxides" in Patai, Wiley 1988, New York, pp. 165-231 ).
i. By oxidation of the thiols that are obtained under g), the chlorosulfonates can be produced; the oxidation with chlorine in aqueous hydrochloric acid (cf. J. Org. Chem. 1999; 64, 5896-903) or carbon tetrachloride (cf. J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 843-58) or with sodium hypochlorite in sulfuric acid (cf. Tetrahedron Asymm. 1997; 8;
3559-62) has especially proven its value here.

j. By reaction with a mixture that consists of copper rhodanide and potassium rhodanide in polar aprotic solvents, such as, for example, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, diglyme, tetraglyme, N-methylpyrrolidinone, the corresponding thiocyanates can be obtained (cf. J. Chem. Soc. Chem.
Comm. 1989, 81 f~. From the latter in turn, the corresponding sulfonic acid chlorides can be obtained by oxidation with hypochlorite.
k. By reaction of the chlorosulfonates that are cited under i) with amines, in solvents, such as, for example, dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethoxyethane or water, at temperatures of between 0°C and the boiling point of the solvent, the corresponding sulfonamides can be obtained (cf. Tetrahedron 2000, 56, 8253-62).
I. By hydrolysis of the chlorosulfonates that are obtained under i) in water or aqueous alkaline solution at temperatures of between 5°C and 100°C, the corresponding sulfonic acids are obtained.
m. By palladium-catalyzed reaction with O,O-dialkylphosphites in aprotic solvents, such as, for example, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-pyrrolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide or toluene in the presence of a base, such as, for example, triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine, at temperatures of between 0°C and the boiling temperature of the solvent, preferably at 80°C, the corresponding phosphonates can be obtained (cf. Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1982, 55, 909 ff.).

n. By metallation, for example with n-butyllithium, sec-butyllithium, tert-butyllithium, methyllithium, lithium diisopropylamide or ethyl magnesium bromide, in aprotic solvents such as, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, at temperatures of between -100°C
and 0°C, preferably at -78°C in tetrahydrofuran and reaction with isocyanates, the corresponding carboxylic acid amides can be obtained.
o. By having the reaction carried out analogously to what is described under n) and having the recovery of the inetallated intermediate stages be done with chloroformic acid ester, the corresponding carboxylic acid esters can be obtained'.
p. By having the reaction carned out analogously to what is described under n) and having the recovery of the metallated intermediate stages be done with dimethylformamide, ethyl formate or N-formylmorpholine, the corresponding aldehydes can be obtained.
q. By having the reaction carried out analogously to what is described under n) and having the recovery of the metallated intermediate stages be done with alkyl halides or alkyl sulfonates, preferably alkyl iodides or alkyltrifluoromethanesulfonates, the corresponding pyridylalkyl derivatives can be produced.
r. By reduction with hydrogen in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium, nickel or rhodium metal or salts of these metals, for example palladium on activated carbon in polar-protic solvents or solvent mixtures, such as, for example, methanol-glacial acetic acid, the pyridylalkenes that are produced under a) and the pyridylalkines that are produced under b) are converted into the corresponding pyridylalkanes.
The sequence of the process steps can also be interchanged in all cases.

\) ~ -Prop NH
50 mg (0.13 mmol) of 5-{[2-(isoquinolin-3-ylcarbamoyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and 42 mg (0.26 mmol) of carbonyldiimidazole are introduced into 2.5 ml of dimethylformamide under argon and in a moisture-free environment, and it is stirs ed for 30 minutes at room temperature. 15 mg (0.26 mmol) of n-propylamine is then added to the batch, and stirnng is continued for 12 hours at room temperature. It is then diluted with water to about 30 ml and shaken out three times with 20 ml of ethyl acetate each. The collected organic phase is dried, filtered and concentrated by evaporation, and the residue is chromatographed on a Flash column (5 g; Isolute flash silica, Separtis Company) with a gradient of 100% hexane to 50% hexane and 50% ethyl acetate. 45 mg (79% of theory) of 5-{[2-(isoquinolin-3-ylcarbamoyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid propylamide with a molar peak in MS

It is thoroughly mixed and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, 10 ~1 of stop solution (250 mmol of EDTA, pH 7.0) is added, mixed, and 10 p1 of the solution is transferred to a P 81 phosphocellulose filter.
Then, it is washed several times in 0.1 M phosphoric acid. The filter paper is dried, coated with Meltilex and measured in a microbeta counter.
The IC50 values are determined from the inhibitor concentration, which is necessary to inhibit the phosphate incorporation to 50% of the uninhibited incorporation after removal of the blank reading (EDTA-stopped reaction).
The results of the kinase inhibition IC50 in nM are presented in the table below:
