BISARYLSULFONAMIDES USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATION
AND CANCER
TECHNICAL FIELD
The t invention s to novel sulfonamide derivatives, to pharmaceutical composi-
tions comprising these derivatives, to processes for their preparation and to sulfonamide de-
rivatives for use in a diagnostic method, profylaxis, or in therapy, e.g. for the treatment of
inflammation and cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the 1920s Otto g first proposed non-oxidative metabolism of glucose as a unique
feature oftumors rg, (1930) Ueber den stoffwechsel der tumoren (London: Consta-
ble); Warburg, (1956) Science 123, 4). This esis has since caused significant
interest and although mechanistic links are still, almost 100 years later, under investigation. A
high glucose flux of tumor is today exploited clinically, using PET imaging of 18F
lucose uptake as a diagnostic tool for solid tumors.
Lately, energy processing of cancer cells has been given new attention (e.g. Vander Heiden, et
al., 2009, Science 324, 1029). The hypoxic microenvironment and consequential lactate ac-
cumulation resulting from altered tumor metabolism are reported predictive for both metastat-
ic potential and therapy resistance, and thus survival of cancer patients (Brown, (1999) Can-
cer Res. 59, 5863-5870; Walenta& Mueller-Klieser, (2004) Semin. Radiat. Oncol. 14, 267-
274; Walentaet al., (2004) Curr.Med. Chem. 11, 2195-2204). Targeting of hypoxic and/or
acidotic tumor areas has therefore drawn attention as a complement to anti-proliferative
treatments (see e.g. Pan &Mak, (2007) Sci. STKE 381, pe14; Bache et al., (2008) Curr. Med.
Chem. 15, 322-338 for reviews).
Known inhibitors of ysis include among others 2-deoxyglucose and o-puruvate
targeting hexokinase (Liu et al., (2001) Biochemistry 40, 5542-5547; Liu et al. (2002) Bio-
chem. Pharmacol. 64, 1745-1751; Xu et al., (2005) Cancer Res. 65, 613-621; Ramanathan et
al., (2005) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 102, 5992-5997). Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F-2,6-P2)
plays a regulatory role in glucose metabolism by relieving ATP inhibition of phospho fructo-
kinase-l. The levels of F-2,6-P2 are ted by the tional enzyme family 6-
phosphofructokinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFKFB1-4).
Out of these four isozymes, mainly PFKFB3 and PFKFB4 are of particular interest for play-
ing a role in cancer. Anti-sense treatment against PFKFB3 was shown to reduce tumor growth
rate in viva (Chesney et al., (1999) Proc.Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 3047-3052). Similarly, a
decreased anchorage independent growth was shown for siRNA treated fibroblasts (Telang et
al., (2006) Oncogene 25, 7225-7234). A link between inflammation and ed glycolysis
and a possible potential for PFKFB3 inhibitors to act as a anti-inflammatory agents was indi-
cated by a report that the ILSTAT3 pathway may enhance ysis through the induction
ofPFKFB3 (Ando et al. J Nippon Med Sch (2010), 77, (2), 97-105). This possibility was
further supported by a recent study using a small molecule; 3-(3 -pyridinyl)(4-pyridinyl)
propen—1-one (3P0), previously shown to reduce F-2,6-P2 sis, glucose uptake and pro-
liferation in transformed cells (see below). Telang et al. demonstrated that 3P0 ates the
tion of T cells in vitro and suppresses T cell dependent immunity in vivo, indicating that
small molecule inhibitors of PFKFB3 may prove effective as T cell immunosuppressive
agents (Telang et al., (2012) Journal of ational Medicine 2012, . Moreover, hy-
poxia is a prominent feature in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovium and induces significant
changes in the sion of PFKFB3 and PFKFB4 (Del Rey et al., (2010) Arthritis & Rheu-
matism 62, 3584—3594).
The PFKFB4 n was reported to be strongly responsive to hypoxia (Minchenko et al.,
(2004) FEBS Lett. 576, 14-20); Minchenko et al., (2005), mie 87, 1005-1010; Bo-
barykina et al., (2006), Acta Biochemica Polonica 3, 789-799). US2010/0267815 A1). Min-
chenko et al. trated an increased expression of PFKFB4 mRNA in malignant breast
and colon s, as ed to corresponding non-malignant tissue counterparts. Recent-
ly, Telang et al. showed decreased levels of F-2,6-P2 and lactate as well as decreased tumor
growth following siRNA silencing of PFKFB4 (Telang, S. et a], (2010). Further support for
PFKFB4 as a potential target for the development of antineoplastic agents came from a fianc-
tional metabolic screen that identified PFKFB4 as an important regulator in prostate cancer
(Ros et al. (2012) Cancer Discov. 2(4):328-43).
Only a small number of specific inhibitors of the kinase activities of PFKFB3 and PFKFB4
have been identified. In one study, an alkylating inhibitor, N—bromoacetylethanolamine phos-
phate, was used as a tool to igate the binding sites of the kinase and phosphatase do-
mains ofPFKFB3 and demonstrated to irreversibly inactivate PFK—2(Sakakibara et al. (1984),
J. Bio Chem 259, 14023-14028). The compound is a competitive inhibitor of PFK—2 with re-
spect to F6P but a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to ATP. Analogues of this com-
pound, N-(2-methoxyethyl)-bromoacetamide, N-(2-ethoxyethyl)-bromoacetamide and N-(3-
methoxypropyl)-bromoacetamide, have demonstrated in viva activity with increased survival
rate of P388 transplant BDF1 mice (Hirata et al. (2000) . Biotechnol. Biochem. 64,
2047-2052).
A l structure of the PFKFB3 *ADP*phosphoenolpyruvate complex was described by
Kim et al. (Kim et al. (2007), J. Mol. Biol. 370, 14—26). This paper also described the crystal
structures of PFKFB3 *AMPPCP*fructose-6 phosphate complex in which thylene-
adenosine 5’-triphosphate (AMPPCP) constituted a non-hydrolysable ATP-analogue. Recent-
ly, small molecule PFKFB3 inhibitors identified by virtual screening were bed
(Chrochet et al. (2011), Anal. Biochem. 418, 8; Seo et al., (2011), Plosone, 9, e24179
& Lee et al. (2012) US 2012/0302631). The identified PFKFB3 inhibitors were shown to re-
duce the levels of F-2,6-P2, resulting in decreased tumor growth and increased cell death.
A drug-like compound was described (Clem et al. (2008) Mol. Cancer Ther. 7, 0;
Chesney et al. (2008) ) where 3-(3-pyridinyl)(4-pyridinyl)propen
one (3PO), by computational methods, was fied as a PFKFB3 tor. stration
of 3PO reduced the intracellular concentration of F-2,6-P2, glucose uptake, and growth of
established tumors in viva. Recently, substituted doles were bed as inhibitors of
PFKFB3. The benzindoles were shown to inhibit proliferation in several cancer cell lines,
inhibit glucose uptake as well as to reduce tumor growth in vivo in tumor models (Chand et
al. (2011) WO2011/103557A1).

The 5-isopropylmethylbenzothiophenesulfonyl chloride was prepared according to
the following multistep procedure. A mixture of 4-isopropyl-thiophenol (5.0 g, 32.8 mmol),
chloroacetone (7.0 mL, 88 mmol) and K2C03 (6.4 g, 46.3 mmol) in acetone (100 mL) was
refluxed overnight. More K2C03 (2 g, 14.5 mmol) and chloroacetone (3.5 mL, 43 mmol) were
added and the reaction mixture was heated for r 5 h. The on mixture was filtered
and the solvent was evaporated. The crude product was mixed with polyphosphoric acid (15
g) and chlorobenzene (100 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 5 hours (Ple
et al., (1988) J. Heterocyclic Chem. 25, 1271-1272). The reaction mixture was diluted with
CH2C12 and washed with water. The ed organic phases were dried and the t was
evaporated. The crude t was purified on silica using heptane as eluent, giving 4.2 g of
-isopropylmethylbenzothiophene as a colorless oil (67% over two steps). 1H NMR (400

A solution of sulfur trioxide (580 mg, 7.24 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) was cooled
on ice and dioxane (610 uL, 7.15 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (1 mL) was added dropwise.
The resulting white e was stirred for 30 s at 0 0C. A solution of 5-isopropyl
methylbenzothiophene (420 mg, 2.2 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (4 mL) was added and the
resulting dark purple mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was
poured on ice and extracted with EtOAc. The acid crystallized spontaneously in the organic
phase and 265 mg (44%) of 5-isopropylmethylbenzothiophenesulfonic acid was collect-
ed. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDgOD) 8 ppm 1.32 (d, J=6.90 Hz, 6 H) 2.64 (s, 3 H) 3.05 (spt,

2 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of ice and water and stirred for 1 h. The organic
phase was separated and dried. 1.74 g yl chloride was obtained as an oil after evapora-
tion ofthe solvents. The crude product was purified on silica using CH2C12 as eluent giving

BIOLOGICAL TESTS
6-phosphofructokinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (PFK—2/BPase-2) is a bi—functional
enzyme that catalyses the formation and degradation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate -P2)
(For reviews see e.g. Pilkis et al., (1995) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 64, 799-835; and Okar et al.,
(2001) Trends Biochem. Sci. 26, 30-5). The relative kinase (formation) and phosphatase (degradation
) activities of the ctional enzymes PFKFB3 and PFKFB4 control the intracellu-
lar levels of this regulator (F-2,6-P2), which acts as an allosteric activator of glycolysis. Both
W0 93095 212
the relative activities as well as the kinase to phosphatase ratios differ between the isoforms of
the bi-filnctional enzymes, referred to as PFKFBl, PFKFB2, PFKFB3 and PFKFB4. Intracel-
lular F-2,6-P2 levels are uently controlled by variable tissue expression of these
isoforms, including splice variants or ranslational modifications (see e.g. Rider et al.
(2007) Biochem J. 381, 561-579).
Method for quantification of F-2,6—P2 in six different cancer cell lines
A method for quantification of F-2,6-P2 has been described by Van Schaftingen et al. (1982)
Eur. J. Biochem. 129, 191-5. This sensitive assay is based on the potent activation of pyro-
phosphate dependent phosphofructokinase-l FK) from potato tubers by F-2,6-P2. The
use of a series of coupled s leads to a consumption ofNADH (nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide) that can be followed spectrophotometrically (an updated protocol is available in
Van Schaftingen, (1984) Methods of tic Analysis (Bergmeyer, H. U., ed.), 3rd edn.,
vol. 6, pp. 335-341, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim). A protocol for measurements in 96-well mi-
crotiter plate format is also ble (Bruni et al., (1989) Anal. m. 178, 324-6).
The levels of F-2,6-P2 have been determined using the van Shaftingen assay as bed in
the protocol below, in six different cancer cell lines endogenously expressing varying levels
ofthe different isoforms of PFK—2/BPase-2 (MCF-7, PANC-l, NUGC-3, SW480, SW620 and
MIA PaCa-2). All reagents were purchased from commercial sources or prepared in—house.

Cells were seeded in 96-well Corning Costar tissue culture plates (CLS3595, Sigma-Aldrich)
using the concentrations specified above for the different cell lines A-F and incubated over
night at 37 0C and 5% C02. Row A in the plate was left empty and the cell lines added to
rows B-H. Next day the growth medium was discarded and replaced with 100 uL tion
medium. The plates were incubated for 18 h at 37 0C and 5% C02. After 18 h of starvation the
cells were induced with 100 uL nd or control solutions. Compounds were either tested
in two concentrations (50 uM and 10 uM) or in dose response curves starting from 50 uM.
The final DMSO concentration in assay plates was 0.5%. Also a dose response curve of a
reference inhibitor was ed in row H on each plate. All compounds were tested in dupli-
cate plates. nds (in 96 well CLS 3365, Sigma-Aldrich plates) were serial diluted in
DMSO from 10 mM compound DMSO stock ons with Janus (automated liquid handling
workstation from PerkinElmer). Five uL were transferred to a Greiner deep well plate (73 6-
0155, VWR) with 495 uL starvation medium. The final start concentration of compounds in
W0 2013/093095 214
the dilution plate was 100 uM, 1% DMSO. For compounds tested as single points, 10 mM
compound solutions were diluted five fold in DMSO to 2 mM, followed by the transfer of 5
uL to separate dilution plates with 495 uL starvation medium. The final trations of
compounds in these dilution plates were 100 or 20 uM, respectively, and final concentration
ofDMSO was 1%. The plates were incubated at 37 0C and 5% CO2 for l h, followed by the
addition of 10 uL 20 mM D-glucose in starvation medium. ls, with and without 1 mM
glucose, were included in row B. The final assay volume was 210 uL per well. After 2 h of
incubation at 37 0C and 5% C02, the supematants were discarded and the cells lysed by the
addition of 25 uL 250 mM NaOH. The plates were incubated at 37 0C and 5% CO2 for 5 min
followed by an addition of 75 uL MilliQ dH20. The supematants were further diluted with
210 uL MilliQ dH20 to a final concentration of 20 mM NaOH. 200 uL were transferred to
NUNC l plates (7322661, VWR) and the plates were sealed and stored at -20 0C until
analysis.
A few compounds were also tested, in parallel in NUGC-3 (9 000 cells/well) and PANC-l (25
000 cells/well), under hypoxic ions with oxygen 02 levels set to 1%. During the addi-
tion of compounds and glucose the 02 levels were ~0.6%. All additions were done manually.
The amount of F-2,6-P2 was quantified based on the coupled enzymatic reaction described by
Van ingen. If necessary the samples were further diluted in 20 mM NaOH before quan-
tification. Plates stored at -20 0C were thawed and the F-2,6-P2 quantification was initiated by
transferring 40 uL from each well of the NUNC plate to the corresponding position in a trans-
parent 96-well SpectraPlate-MB (6005649, PerkinElmer). In order to ensure that all F-2,6-P2
measured values were within the linear range of response (between 0-1 nM final tra-
tion of F-2,6-P2 as described by Van ingen), the same sample volume (40 uL) of an in-
house produced F-2,6-P2 standard was ed on each plate in row A.
The ure bed below involved consecutive additions of three solutions with the
following ed components:
0 Assay-mix (40 uL): Tris-acetate at pH 8.0, NADH and Mg(0Ac)2
0 Substrate-mix (80 uL): Pyrophosphate and F6P
o Enzyme-mix (40 uL): Tris-acetate at pH 8.0, aldolase, triose phos-
phate isomerase, glycerolphosphate dehydrogenase, pyrophosphate-dependent
phosphofructokinase fiom potato tubers and bovine serum albumin (BSA)
The final concentrations of all reagents in a total assay volume of 200 uL per well were: 50
mM Tris-acetate at pH 8.0; 0.15 mM NADH; 2 mM Mg(OAc)2; 1 mM F6P (acid treated and
then neutralized to remove any contaminating F-2,6-P2; see Van Schaftingen, 1984 in

The coupled enzymatic reaction was allowed to proceed for 45 minutes at room temperature
and the absorbance at 340 nm was uously ed every 30 seconds (SpectraMax
plate reader, Molecular Devices). The ed absorbance is proportional to the concentra-
tion ofNADH, which in turn is proportional to the levels of F-2,6-P2 within the linear range.
This was defined by the 0 to 1.0 nM F-2,6-P2 controls in row A of the aPlate. The IC50
values for test compounds were calculated using a four-parameter model (model 205) in XLfit
(Excel) and in XLfit (IDBS ActivityBase).
Examples included herein have IC50 values in the range 100 nM to 25 uM (see Table I for
exemplary data) or Z 50% inhibition at 125-50 uM as measured using the above described
assay. es 23, 31, 35, 36, 42, 43, 64, 65, 73, 77, 83, 98, 100, 121, 129, 130, 140, 207,

Method for measurement of inhibition of cancer cell proliferation
To assess the antiproliferative response ed by the compounds of the present invention in
different tumour cell lines, total cellular protein in samples was quantified using the
Sulphorhodamine B kit, TOX6, (Sigma-Aldrich). The protocol is based on quantitation of
total cellular n after indicated treatments and incubation times using the Sulphorhoda-
mine B kit, TOX6, (Sigma-Aldrich).
Briefly, after protein precipitation using TCA ing to the manufacturer's instructions,
the sulphorhodamine dye (80 uL/well) was added to the air-dried wells. After 20 min incuba-
tion at room temperature, the dye was discarded and the samples were gently rinsed with 1%
HOAc until clear. After air drying, bound dye was solubilised in 200 ML 10 mM Tris base,
and the absorbance of dye was measured at 565 nm. To quantify growth, s were col-
lected also at t=0 h, and the resulting absorbance was set to 100%.
To assess the chemotherapy-p0tentiating, antiproliferative and anti-outgrowth s elicited
by Example 27 in combination with the standard chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin, the f0 1-
lowing protocol was applied:
The c cancer cell line NUGC3 was cultured at 37°C, 5% C02, in DMEM/Fl2 medium
with 10 % FBS and penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were plated at a density of 6,000 cells/well
and allowed to attach overnight. Cellular n in five or more wells was quantitated using
the Sulphorhodamine B kit, in order to create a to value from which to calculate subsequent
growth. From all other s, media supernatants were then replaced with either fresh me-
dium, or cisplatin or Example 27 diluted in cell culture medium to ted concentrations,
and to a maximal DMSO concentration of 0.1%. Combination treatments with cisplatin and
Example 27 at the indicated concentrations were also prepared. All treatments were in quad-
ruplicate.
After 48 h, the media were removed from all samples. In one complete set of samples, the
total cellular protein in each well was quantitated. In another complete set, post-treatment
capacity for regrowth was assessed by allowing the cells to recuperate in fresh drug-free me-
dium for another 48 h, after which time cellular protein was tated. Results (growth) are
expressed as fold increase in cellular n compared to the level at t=0.

For experiments studying the effect of the herein described compounds per se, z'.e. without
combination treatment with tin, the above protocol was applied with the following mod-
ifications. See Table II for details for each specific cell line. Briefly, cells were plated at a
y of 6,000 cells/well 96-well Corning Costar tissue culture plates (CLS3596, Sigma-
Aldrich) in assay medium and allowed to attach over night at 37°C, 5% C02. Day 2 the compounds
were diluted 1/2 in dose response curve mode in 100% DMSO, required volume was
transferred to assay medium to a l DMSO concentration of 0.1%. The diluted com-
pounds were added to the cells with a ng dose response concentration of 100 uM. All
compounds were tested in duplicate plates. After a total of 72 h, the measured effect on cancer
cell proliferation was quantified as the ratio between 72 h value and the 0 h value in percent,
and this value was subsequently divided with the 72 h 0.1% DMSO control sample in percent
demonstrating the growth-inhibitory effect.
After n precipitation using TCA according to the manufacturer's instructions, the sul-
forhodamine B dye (50 uL/well) was added to the air-dried wells. After 20 min incubation at
room temperature, the dye was discarded and the samples were gently rinsed with 1% HOAc
until clear. After air drying, bound dye was solubilised in 100 uL 10 mM Tris base, and the
absorbance of dye was measured at 530 nm and a background absorbance (subtract from the
measurement at 530nm) at 690nm. To fy growth, samples were collected also at t=0 h.

Method for measurement of cell toxicity
The CellTiter-Blue® Cell Viability Assay provides a homogeneous, fluorometric method for
ting the number of viable cells present in multi-well plates. It uses the indicator dye
resazurin to measure the metabolic ty of cells. Viable cells retain the ability to reduce
resazurin into resorufin, which is highly cent. Nonviable cells rapidly lose metabolic
capacity, do not reduce the tor dye, and thus do not generate a fluorescent signal.
Stock solutions (10 or 100 mM in DMSO) of compounds were serially diluted 1:2 in 11 con-
centrations. 25 l (100 mM stock) or 50 nL/well (10 mM stock) were acoustically dis-
pensed in assay plates with EDC acoustic dispenser. Final starting cone. in assay was 20 uM
(0.2% DMSO) or 100 uM (0.1% DMSO) for test nds.
Cells (MIA-PaCa-2; pancreatic carcinoma) were seeded in assay plates (3 84-well black/clear,
Greiner #781091) pre-dispensed with compounds, 25 uL/well, and cultured for 72 h. The cell
concentration was 750 cells/well. After 72 h culture, Celltiter Blue reagent was added (5
l) and the plates were incubated for 2 h. The plates were read in an Envision fluores-
W0 93095 220
cence reader with Ex544 nm/Em590 nm. Results were calculated as % cytotoxicity compared
to background (cells d with 0.2% DMSO).

In vitro metabolic stability in human liver omes
Pooled human liver microsomes (final protein conc 0.5 mg/ml), 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH
7.4) and NADPH (final conc 1 mM) were pre-incubated at 37 CC. Example 183 (final conc 3
uM) was added to initiate the reaction. A control incubation where 0.1 M phosphate buffer
(pH 7.4) was added instead ofNADPH was done as a parallel experiment. After incubation
for 0, 5, 10, 30 and 45 min with NADPH (for 45 min in the control incubation), MeCN con-
taining internal standard was added to stop the reactions. The samples were centrifuged at
2500 rpm for 20 min at 4 CC before analysis using MS. The in vitro half life of Ex-
ample 183 was found 55 min and the intrinsic clearance was 25 uL/min/mg.
In vivo tolerance, plasma exposure and inhibition of tumour growth
In vivo tolerance was tested in NMRI mice using Examples 157 and 183 in 2 doses (25 and
45 mg/kg), following intraperitoneal injections daily for seven days. Macro observations dur-
ing and after treatment showed no sign of abnormal behavior or health problem during and
after treatment. Specific lesions consistent with toxic damage were not ed in histologi-
cal examinations of adrenal gland, brain, cerebellum, heart, intestines, kidneys, liver, lungs,
mesenteric lymph node, pancreas and spleen.
W0 2013/093095 221
Figure 3 illustrates the effects of treatment with Example 183 on the growth of established
xenografts from the human pancreatic carcinoma cell line MIA PaCa-2 in NMRI nude mice.
NMRI nude mice were injected subcutaneously with MIA PaCa-2 cells. At an average tumor
size of around 100 mm3 mice were selected and randomized into treated (injected with sub-
stance) and control (vehicle treated) groups. Example 183 was administered at two doses, 25
mg/kg and 45 mg/kg, twice a day with 12 hours between administrations. From the day of
inoculation the tumors were scored or measured three times a week using a digital r, and
the body weights were determined at the same time . The dose of injected substance
was adjusted to the actual body weight of each animal. The dosing of the animals was in a
period of 3 weeks. Treatment with Example 183 at 45 mg/kg caused a significant tion
(p<0.01) of the tumor growth ed to a vehicle treated group.
In a related study using the same dosing schedule in NMRI nude mice, blood samples were
drawn 0.5 h after last injection (day 21) to determine exposure of Example 183. Plasma, pre-
pared by centrifugation of the blood, was frozen and kept at -20 CC. Thawed plasma samples
were precipitated with MeCN, centrifuged and the supematants were analyzed by LC-MSMS.
Standard samples, prepared by g blank plasma with Example 183, were used for quanti-
fication. The re of d Example 183 exceeded the in vitro IC50 value (MIA PaCa-
2 cells) in animals dosed with 45 mg/kg (Figure 4).
