Phosphorous Derivatives as Kinase Inhibitors

This is a divisional of Australian patent application No. 2013205506, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Background of the Invention

The protein kinases represent a large family of proteins which play a central role in the regulation of a wide variety of cellular processes and maintain control over cellular function. A partial, non limiting, list of such kinases includes ALK, abl, Akt, bcr-abl, Blk, Brk, c-kit, c-met, c-src, CDK1, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK5, CDK6, CDK7, CDK8, CDK9, CDK10, bRaf, cRafl, CSK, EGFR, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, Erk, Pak, fes, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGFR5, Fgr, flt-1, flt-3, Fps, Frk, Fyn, Hck, IGF-1R, INS-R, Jakl, Jak2, Jak3, KDR, Lck, Lyn, FAK, MEK, p38, PDGFR, PIK, PKC, PYK2, ros, tie, tie2, Pim-1, P13k,TRK and Zap70. Abnormal protein kinase activity has been related to several disorders, ranging from non-life threatening diseases such as psoriasis to extremely serious diseases such as cancers.

In view of this large number of protein kinases and the multitude of protein kinase-related diseases, there is an ever-existing need to provide new classes of compounds with increased selectivity that are useful as protein kinase inhibitors and therefore useful in the treatment of protein tyrosine-kinase related diseases.

The invention concerns a new family of phosphorous compounds and their use in treating cancers and other diseases.

When a ring system (e.g., cycloalkyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, or heteroaryl) is substituted with a number of substituents varying within an expressly defined range, it is understood that the total number of substituents does not exceed the normal available valencies under the existing conditions.

5 Thus, for example, a phenyl ring substituted with “n” substituents (where “n” ranges from 1 to 5) can have 1 to 5 substituents, whereas it is understood that a pyridinyl ring substituted with “n” substituents has a number of substituents ranging from 1 to 4. The maximum number of substituents that a group in the compounds of the invention may have can be easily determined.

An alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl,

0 cycloalkynyl or non-aromatic heterocyclic group may thus also contain one or more substituents.

Examples of suitable substituents on such groups include, but are not limited to those listed above for the carbon atoms of an aryl or heteroaryl group and in addition include the following substituents for a saturated carbon atom: =0, =S, =NH, =NNR²R³, =NNHC(0)R², =NNHCO2R², or =NNHSO2R², wherein R² and R³ at each occurence are independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl,

5 alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, heteroalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocyclyl.

2016205003 18Jul2016

Illustrative examples of substituents on an aliphatic, heteroaliphatic or heterocyclic group include amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, aminocarbonyl, halogen, alkyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyloxy, dialkylaminocarbonyloxy, alkoxy, nitro, -CN, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyl, -OH, haloalkoxy, or haloalkyl groups.

Illustrative substituents on a nitrogen, e.g., in an heteroaryl or non-aromatic heterocyclic ring include R¹, -NR'R², -C(=O)R², -C(=O)OR², -C(=O)SR², -C(=O)NR*R², -C(=NR²)NR'R², -C(=NR²)OR², -C(=NR')R³,-COCOR², -COMCOR², -CN, -SO2R², S(O)R², -P(=O)(YR³)(YR³),-NRⁱSO2R² and wherein each occurrence of R³ is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclyl; each occurrence of R¹ and R² is independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkkyl, cycloalkenyl, cycloalkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl and heterocyclyl.

Thus, for example, a phenyl ring substituted with “m” substituents (where “m” ranges from 0 to 5) can have 0 to 5 substituents, whereas it is understood that a pyridinyl ring substituted with “m” substituents has a number of substituents ranging from 0 to 4. The maximum number of substituents that a group in the compounds of the invention may have can be easily determined.

Certain compounds of the invention may exist in tautomeric forms, and the invention

0 includes all such tautomeric forms of those compounds unless otherwise specified.

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all stereochemical forms of the structure; i.e., the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center. Thus, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Thus, the invention encompasses each

5 diasteriomer or enantiomer substantially free of other isomers (>90%, and preferably >95%, free from other stereoisomers on a molar basis) as well as a mixture of such isomers.

Particular optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, e.g., by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids are tartaric, diacetyltartaric,

0 dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric, and camphorsulfonic acid and then separation of the mixture of diastereoisomers by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from these salts. A different process for separation of optical isomers involves the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by reacting compounds of the invention with an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography,

2016205003 18Jul2016 distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to deliver the enantiomerical ly pure compound.

Optically active compounds of the invention can be obtained by using active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt.

Compounds of the invention can exist in radiolabelled form, i.e., said compounds may contain one or more atoms containing an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number: ordinarily found in nature. Radioisotopes of hydrogen, carbon, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine include ³H, ¹⁴C, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F and ³⁶C1, respectively. Compounds of the invention which contain those radioisotopes and/or other radioisotopes of other atoms are within the scope of the invention. Tritiated, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i. e., ^I4C, radioisotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability.

Radiolabelled compounds of the invention can generally be prepared by methods well known to those skilled in the art. Conveniently, such radiolabelled compounds can be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed herein except substituting a readily available radiolabelled reagent for a non-radiolabelled reagent.

4. Synthetic Overview

The practitioner has a well-established literature of heterocyclic and other relevant chemical transformations, recovery and purification technologies to draw upon, in combination with the information contained in the examples which follow, for guidance on synthetic strategies, protecting groups, and other materials and methods useful for the synthesis, recovery and characterization of compounds of the invention, including compounds containing the various choices for the R\ R^b, R^c, R^d, R', R^bl, R^cl, R^dl, R^el, R^f, R⁶, and Rings A, B, C, D, E and F.

5 Various synthetic approaches may be used to produce the compounds described herein, including those approaches depicted schematically below. The practitioner will appreciate that protecting groups may be used in these approaches. “Protecting groups”, are moieties that are used to temporarily block chemical reaction at a potentially reactive site (e.g., an amine, hydroxy, thiol, aldehyde, etc.) so that a reaction can be carried out selectively at another site in a multifunctional compound. In preferred embodiments, a protecting group reacts selectively in good yield to give a protected substrate that is suitable for the planned reactions; the protecting group should be selectively removable in good yield by readily available, preferably nontoxic reagents that do not unduly attack the other functional groups present; the protecting group preferably forms an readily separable derivative (more preferably without the generation of new stereogenic centers); and the protecting group preferably has a minimum of additional functionality to avoid the complication of further sites of reaction. A wide variety of protecting groups and strategies, reagents and conditions for deploying and removing them are known in

2016205003 18Jul2016 the art. See, e.g., “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis” Third Ed. Greene, T.W. and Wuts, P.G., Eds., John Wiley & Sons, New York: 1999. For additional background information on protecting group methodologies (materials, methods and strategies for protection and deprotection) and other synthetic chemistry transformations useful in producing the compounds described herein, see in R. Larock, Comprehensive organic Transformations, VCH Publishers (1989); T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd. Ed., John Wiley and Sons (1999); L. Fieser and M. Fieser, Fieser and Fieser’s Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1994); and L. Paquette, ed., Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis, John Wiley and Sons (1995). The entire contents of these references are hereby incorporated by reference.

Also, one may chose reagents enriched for a desired isotope, e.g. deuterium in place of hydrogen, to create compounds of the invention containing such isotope(s). Compounds containing deuterium in place of hydrogen in one or more locations, or containing various isotopes of C, N, P and O, are encompassed by the invention and may be used, for instance, for studying metabolism and/or tissue distribution of the compounds or to alter the rate or path of metabolism or other aspects of biological functioning.

Compounds of the invention can be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or by a variation thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include, but are

0 not limited to those described below. The reactions are preformed in a solvent appropriate to the reagents and materials employed and suitable for the transformation being effected. It will be understood by those skilled in the art of organic synthesis that the functionality present on the molecule should be consistent the transformations proposed. This will sometimes required some judgment to modify the order of the synthetic steps or to select one particular process scheme

5 over another in order to obtain a desired compound of the invention.

5. Uses, Formulations, Administration

Pharmaceutical Uses; indications

The invention features compounds having biological properties which make them of interest for treating or modulating disease in which kinases may be involved, symptoms of such disease, or the effect of other physiological events mediated by kinases. For instance, a number of compounds of the invention have been shown to inhibit tyrosine kinase activity of ALK, fak and c-met, among other tyrosine kinases which are believed to mediate the growth, development and/or metastasis of cancer. A number of compounds of the invention have also been found to possess potent in vitro activity against cancer cell lines, including among others karpas 299 cells. Such compounds are thus of interest for the treatment of cancers, including solid tumors as well as lymphomas and including cancers which are resistant to other therapies.

0 Such cancers include, among others, cancers of the breast, non small cell lung cancer (NSCLS), neural tumors such as glioblastomas and neuroblastomas; esophaegeal carcinomas, soft tissue cancers such as rhabdomyosarcomas, among others); various forms of lymphoma such as a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) known as anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), various forms of leukemia; and including cancers which are ALK orc-met mediated.

5 Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a cell membrane-spannning receptor tyrosine kinase, which belong to the insulin receptor subfamily. ALK receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) was initially identified due to its involvement in the human non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtype known as anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). ALK normally has a restricted distribution

103

2016205003 18Jul2016 in mammalian cells, being found at significant levels only in nervous system during embryonic development, suggesting a possible role for ALK in brain development (Duyster, J. Et al.., Oncogene, 2001, 20, 5623-5637).

In addition to its role in normal development, expression of the full-length normal ALK 5 has also been detected in cell lines derived from a variety of tumors such as neuroblastomas, neuroectodermal tumors (Lamant L. Etal.,y4zzi. J. Pathol., 2000,156, 1711-1721; OsajimaHakomori Y., et ai., Am. J. Pathol. 2005,167, 213-222) and glioblastoma (Powers C. et al., J. Biol. Chem. 2002, 277, 14153-14158; Grzelinski M. et al., Int. J. Cancer, 2005,117, 942-951; Mentlein, R. Et al., J. Neurochem., 2002, 83, 747-753) as well as breast cancer and melanoma lines (Dirk WG. Et al., Int. J. Cancer, 2002,100, 49-56).

In common with othe RTKs, translocations affect the ALK gene, resulting in expression of oncogenic fusion kinases-the most common of which is NPM-ALK. For example, approximately sixty percent of anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL) are associated with a chromosome mutation that generates a fusion protein consisting of nucleophosmin (NMP) and the intracellular domain of ALK. (Armitage, J.O. et al., Cancer: principle and practice of oncology, 6^th Edition, 2001,2256-2316; kutok, J.L. & Aster J.C., J. Clin. Oncol., 2002, 20, 3691-3702; Wan, W. et al., Blood, 2006,107, 1617-1623. This mutant protein, NMP-ALK, possesses a constitutively active tyrosine kinase domain that is responsible for its oncogenic property through activation of downstream effectors (Falini, B and al., Blood, 1999, 94, 350920 3515; Monis, S.W. et al., Brit. J. Haematol., 2001,113, 275-295). Experimental data have demonstrated that the aberrant expression of constitutuvely active ALK is directly implicated in the pathogenesis of ALCL and that inhibition of ALK can markedly impair the growth of ALK positive lymphoma cells (Kuefer, Mu et al., Blood, 1997,90,2901-2910; Bai, R.Y. et al., Exp. Hematol., 2001,29, 1082-1090; Slupianek, A. et al., Cancer Res., 2001,61,2194-2199;

5 Turturro, F. et al., Clin. Cancer. Res., 2002, 8,240-245). The constitutively activated chimeric ALK has also been demonstrated in about 60% of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), a slow growing sarcoma that mainly affects children and young adults (Lawrence, B. et al., Am. J. Pathol., 2000, 157, 377-384). Furthermore, recent reports have also described the occurrence of a variant ALK fusion, TPM4-ALK, in cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the esophagus (Jazzi fr., et al., World J. Gastroenterol., 2006,12, 7104-7112; Du X., et al., J. Mol. Med., 2007, 85, 863-875; Aklilu M., Semin. Radiat. Oncol., 2007,17, 62-69). Thus, ALK is one of the few examples of an RTK implicated in oncogenesis in both non-hematopoietic and hematopoietic malignancies. More recently it has been shown that a small inversion within chromosome 2p results in the formation of a fusion gene comprisinig portions of the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) gene and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells (Soda M., et al., Nature, 2007, 448, 561-567).

We therefore envision that an ALK inhibitor would either permit durable cures when used as a single therapeutic agent or combined with current chemotherapy for ALCL, 1MT, proliferative disorders, glioblastoma and other possible solid tumors cited herein, or, as a single therapeutic agent, could be used in a maintenance role to prevent recurrence in patients in need of such a treatment.

Pharmaceutical Methods

The invention features methods for treating a subject having or at risk of contracting cancer by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention.

A “therapeutically effective amount” is that amount effective for detectable killing or inhibition of the growth or spread of cancer cells; the size or number of tumors; or other measure of the level, stage, progression or severity of the cancer. The exact amount required will vaiy from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the particular anticancer agent, its mode of administration, combination treatment with other therapies, and the like.

The compound, or a composition containing the compound, may be administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for killing or inhibiting the growth of tumors or other forms of cancer.

The anticancer compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for 2 0 ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of anticancer agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. As is normally the case, the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the invention will be decided by the attending physician using routine reliance upon sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a

5 variety of factors including the disorder being treated; the severity of the disorder; the potency of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the route and schedule of administration; the rate of metabolism and/or excretion of the compound; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincident with administration of the compound of the invention; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

Furthermore, after formulation with an appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a desired dosage, the compositions of the invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by transdermal patch, powders, ointments, or drops), sublingually, bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like.

The effective systemic dose of the compound will typically be in the range of 0.01 to 500 mg of compound per kg of patient body weight, preferably 0.1 to 125 mg/kg, and in some cases 1 to 25 mg/kg, administered in single or multiple doses. Generally, the compound may be administered to patients in need of such treatment in a daily dose range of about 50 to about 2000 mg per patient.

Administration may be once or multiple times daily, weekly (or at some other multiple-day interval) or on an intermittent schedule. For example, the compound may be administered one or more times per day on a weekly basis (e.g. every Monday) indefinitely or for a period of weeks, e.g. 4-10 weeks. Alternatively, it may be administered daily for a period of days (e.g. 2-10 days) followed by a period of days (e.g. 1 - 30 days) without administration of the compound, with that cycle repeated indefinitely or for a given number of repititions, e.g. 4-10 cycles. As an example, a compound of the invention may be administered daily for 5 days, then discontinued for 9 days, then administered daily for another 5 day period, then discontinued for 9 days, and so on, repeating the cycle indefinitely, or for a total of 4 - 10 times.

The amount of compound which will be effective in the treatment or prevention of a particular disorder or condition will depend in part on well known factors affecting drug dosage. In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays may optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. A rough guide to effective doses may be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems. The precise dosage level should be determined by the attending physician or other health care provider and will depend upon well known factors,

0 including route of administration, and the age, body weight, sex and general health of the individual; the nature, severity and clinical stage of the disease; the use (or not) of concomitant therapies; and the nature and extent of genetic engineering of cells in the patient.

When administered for the treatment or inhibition of a particular disease state or disorder, the effective dosage of the compound of the invention may vary depending upon the particular

5 compound utilized, the mode of administration, the condition, and severity thereof, of the condition being treated, as well as the various physical factors related to the individual being treated. In many cases, satisfactory results may be obtained when the compound is administered in a daily dosage of from about 0.01 mg/kg-500 mg/kg, preferably between 0.1 and 125 mg/kg, and more preferably between 1 and 25 mg/kg. The projected daily dosages are expected to vary with route of

0 administration. Thus, parenteral dosing will often be at levels of roughly 10% to 20% of oral dosing levels.

When the compound of the invention is used as part of a combination regimen, dosages of each of the components of the combination are administered during a desired treatment period. The components of the combination may administered at the same time; either as a unitary dosage form containing both components, or as separate dosage units; the components of the combination can also be administered at different times during a treatment period, or one may be administered as a pretreatment for the other.

Regarding the Compounds

Compounds of present invention can exist in free form for treatment, or where appropriate, as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or prodrug. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, imitation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of amines, carboxylic acids, phosphonates and other types of compounds, are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge, et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66: 1-19 (1977), incorporated herein by reference. The salts can be prepared in situ during the isolation and purification of compounds of the invention, or separately by reacting the free base or free acid of a compound of the invention with a suitable base or acid, respectively. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group fonned with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate,

0 hernisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, ptoluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Representative alkali or alkaline earth

5 metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate.

Additionally, as used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable ester” refers preferably to esters which hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moiety advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters include formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates. Obviously, esters can be formed with a hydroxyl or carboxylic acid group of the compound of the invention.

107

2016205003 18 Jul 2016

Furthermore, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein refers to those prodrugs of compounds of the invention. The term “prodrug” refers to compounds that are transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. See, e.g., T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the

A.C.S. Symposium Series, and Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The invention also features pharmaceutical compositions including a compound of the invention, or a prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt or other pharmaceutically acceptable ester thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. The pharmaceutical compositions optionally further comprise one or more additional therapeutic agents. In certain instances a compound of the invention may be administered to a subject undergoing one or more other therapeutic interventions (e.g. Gleevec or other kinase inhibitors, interferon, bone marrow transplant, famesyl transferase inhibitors, bisphosphonates, thalidomide, cancer vaccines, hormonal therapy, antibodies, radiation, etc). For example, the compound of the invention can be used as one component of a combination therapy in which one or more additional therapeutic agents (e.g., an anticancer agent), the agents being either formulated together or separately, is administered to the subject.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and excipient that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include, without limtiation, solvents, diluents, or other vehicle, dispersion or suspension aids, surface active agents, isotonic agents, thickening or ! 5 emulsifying agents, preservatives, solid binders, lubricants and the like, as suited to the particular dosage form desired. Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Fifteenth Edition, E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1975) discloses various carriers used in formulating pharmaceutical compositions and known techniques for the preparation thereof. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients include, but are not limited to, sugars i 0 such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as com starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil; safflower oil; sesame oil; olive oil; com oil and soybean oil; glycols; such a propylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer’s solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring

108

2016205003 18Jul2016 agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition.

Compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. Compounds of the invention may, for example, be administered orally, mucosally, topically, rectally, pulmonarily such as by inhalation spray, or parentally including intravascularly, intravenously, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, intrastemally and infusion techniques, in dosage unit formulations containing conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Each unit dosage may contain an amount of active ingredient from about 1 to 2000 mg, preferably from about 1 to 500 mg, more commonly from about 5 to 200 mg. The amount of a compound of the invention to be administered will typically be in the range of 0.01 to 500 mg of compound per kg body weight, preferably between 0.1 and 125 mg/kg body weight and in some cases between 1 and 25 mg/kg body weight. As mentioned previously, the daily dose can be given in one administration or may be divided between 2, 3, 4 or more administrations.

In the case of skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of

0 compounds of the invention to the affected area two to four times a day. Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations suitable for penetration through the skin (e.g., liniments, lotions, ointments, creams, or pastes) and drops suitable for administration to the eye, ear, or nose. A suitable topical dose of active ingredient of a compound of the invention is 0.1 mg to 150 mg administered one to four, preferably one or two times daily. For topical administration,

5 the active ingredient may comprise from 0.001 % to 10% w/w, e.g., from 1 % to 2% by weight of the formulation, although it may comprise as much as 10% w/w, but preferably not more than 5% w/w, and more preferably from 0.1% to 1% of the formulation.

When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at Least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane-1,3diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogs.

Compounds of the invention can also be administered by a transdermal device. Preferably transdermal administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous

109

2016205003 18Jul2016 membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered - continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane.

The oily phase of the emulsions of the invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner.

While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizers) make-up the socalled emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax, or other materials well known in the art.

The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non2 0 greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required.

5 Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.

Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients.

The active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of’0.5 to

20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w.

Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules using one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in

5 the formulations for oral administration or by using other suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene

110

2016205003 18 Jul 2016 glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, tragacanth gum, and/or various buffers.

Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. The active ingredient may also be administered by injection as a composition with suitable carriers including saline, dextrose, or water, or with cyclodextrin (i.e. Captisol), cosolvent solubilization (i.e. propylene glycol) or micellar solubilization (i.e. Tween 80).

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-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer’s solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. 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.

For pulmonary administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol or with an inhaler including dry powder aerosol.

Suppositories for rectal administration of the drug can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable nonirritating excipient such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols that are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.

0 The pharmaceutical compositions may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations such as sterilization and/or may contain conventional adjuvants, such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, buffers etc. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Combination Therapy

Compounds of the invention can be administered as part of a treatment regimen in which the compound is the sole active pharmaceutical agent, or used in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents as part of a combination therapy. When administered as one component of a a

0 combination therapy, the therapeutic agents being administered can be formulated as separate compositions that are administered at the same time or sequentially at different times (e.g., within 72 hours, 48 hours, or 24 hours of one another), or the therapeutic agents can be formulated together in a single pharmaceutical composition and administered simultaneously.

Thus, the administration of compounds of the invention may be in conjunction with 35 additional therapies known to those skilled in the art in the prevention or treatment of cancer, such as radiation therapy or cytostatic agents, cytotoxic agents, other anti-cancer agents and other drugs to ameliorate symptoms of the cancer or side effects of any of the drugs.

If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ compounds of the invention within the accepted dosage ranges. Compounds of the invention may also be administered sequentially with other anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration; compounds of the invention may be administered prior to, simulateously with, or after administration of the other anticancer or cytotoxic agent.

Currently, standard treatment of primary tumors consists of surgical excision, when appropriate, followed by either radiation or chemotherapy, and typically administered intravenously (IV). The typical chemotherapy regime consists of either DNA alkylating agents, DNA intercalating agents, CDK inhibitors, or microtubule poisons. The chemotherapy doses used are just below the maximal tolerated dose and therefore dose limiting toxicities typically include, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, neutropenia and the like.

There are large numbers of antineoplastic agents available in commercial use, in clinical evaluation and in pre-clinical development, which would be selected for treatment of cancer by combination drug chemotherapy.

Kinase inhibition

More specifically, the compounds described herein are screened for kinase inhibition activity as follows. Kinases suitable for use in the following protocol include, but are not limited to: ALK, Jak2, b-Raf, c-Met, Tie-2, FLT3, Abl, Lck, Lyn, Src, Fyn, Syk, Zap-70, Itk, Tec, Btk, EGFR,

ErbB2, Kdr, FLT1, Tek, InsR, and AKT.

Kinases are expressed as either kinase domains or full length constructs fused to glutathione

S-transferase (GST) or polyHistidine tagged fusion proteins in either E. coli or Baculovirus-High Five expression systems. They are purified to near homogeneity by affinity chromatography as previously described (Lehr et al., 1996; Gish et al., 1995). In some instances, kinases are co10 expressed or mixed with purified or partially purified regulatory polypeptides prior to measurement of activity.

Kinase activity and inhibition can be measured by established protocols (see e.g.,

Braunwalder et al., 1996). In such cases, the transfer of ³³PO₄ from ATP to the synthetic substrates poly(Glu, Tyr) 4:1 or poly(Arg, Ser) 3:1 attached to the bioactive surface of microtiter plates is taken as a measure of enzyme activity. After an incubation period, the amount of phosphate transferred is measured by first washing the plate with 0.5% phosphoric acid, adding liquid scintillant, and then counting in a liquid scintillation detector. The IC₅₀ is determined by the concentration of compound that causes a 50% reduction in the amount of ³³P incorporated onto the substrate bound to the plate.

0 Other methods relying upon the transfer of phosphate to peptide or polypeptide substrate containing tyrosine, serine, threonine or histidine, alone, in combination with each other, or in combination with other amino acids, in solution or immobilized (i.e., solid phase) are also useful.

For example, transfer of phosphate to a peptide or polypeptide can also be detected using scintillation proximity, Fluorescence Polarization and homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence.

5 Alternatively, kinase activity can be measured using antibody-based methods in which an antibody or polypeptide is used as a reagent to detect phosphorylated target polypeptide.

For additional background information on such assay methodologies, see e,.g., Braunwalder etal., 1996, Anal. Biochem. 234(1):23; Cleaveland etal., 1990, Anal Biochem. 190(2):249 Gish et al. (1995). Protein Eng. 8(6):609 Kolb et al. (1998). Drug Discov. Toda V. 3:333 Lehr et al. (1996).

Gene 169(2):27527 - 87 Seethala et al. (1998). Anal Biochem. 255(2):257 Wu et al. (2000).

The inhibition of ALK tyrosine kinase activity can be demonstrated using known methods.

For example, in one method, compounds can be tested for their ability to inhibit kinase activity of baculovirus-expressed ALK using a modification of the ELISA protocol reported for trkA in Angeles, T.S. et al., Anal. Biochem. 1996,236, 49-55, which is incorporated herein by reference.

5 Phosphorylation of the substrate, phopholipase C-gamma (PLC-y) generated as a fusion protein with

230

2016205003 18Jul2016 glutathione-S-transferase (GST) as reported in rotin, D. et al., EMBO J. 1992,11, 559-567, which is incorporated by reference, can be detected with europium-labeled anti-phosphotyrosine antibody and measured by time-resolved fluorescence (TRF). In this assay, 96-well plate is coated with 100pL/well of 10pg/mL substrate (phospholipase C-y in tris-buffered saline (TBS). The assay mixture (total volume = 100pL/well) consisting of 20nM HEPES (pH 7.2, 1 μΜΑΤΡ (K_m level), 5nM MnCI₂, 0.1% BSA, 2.5% DMSO, and various concentrations of test compound is then added to the assay plate. The reaction is initiated by adding the enzyme (30ng/mL ALK) and is allowed to proceed at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes. Detection of the phosphorylated product can be performed by adding 100pL/well of Eu-Nl labeled PT66 antibody (Perkim Elmer # AD0041). Incubation at

37degrees C then proceeds for one hour, followed by addition of 100CL enhancement solution (for example Wallac # 1244-105). The plate is gently agitated and after thirty minutes, the fluorescence of the resulting solution can be measured (for example using EnVision 2100 (or 2102) multilabel plate reader from Perkin Elmer).

Data analysis can then be performed. IC₅o values can be calculated by plotting percent inhibition versus logio of concentration of compound.

The inhibition of ALK tyrosine kinase activity can also be measured using the recombinant kinase domain of the ALK in analogy to VEDG-R kinase assay described in J. Wood et al., Cancer Res 2000, 60, 2178-2189. In vitro enzyme assays using GST-ALK protein tyrosine kinase can be performed in 96-well plate as a filter binding assay in 20mMTris.HCI, pH 7.5, 3mM MgCl₂, 1 OmM

MnCl₂, InM DTT, 0.1 pCi/assay (=30pL) [γ-³³Ρ]-ΑΤΡ, 2μΜ ATP, 3 pg/mL poly (Glu, tyr 4:1) PolyEY (sigma P-0275), 1% DMSO, 25 ng ALK enzyme. Assays can be incubated for 10 min, at ambient temperature. Reactions can be terminated by adding 50pL of 125 mM EDTA, and the reaction mixture can be transferred onto a MAIP Multiscreen plate (Millipore, Bedford, MA) previously wet with methanol, and rehydrated for 5 minutes with water. Following washing (0.5% H3PO4), plates

5 can be counted in a liquid scintillation counter. IC₅₀ values are calculated by linear regression analysis of the percentage inhibition.

Cell-based assays

Certain compounds of the invention have also been demonstrated cytotoxic or growth inhibitory effects on tumor and other cancer cell lines and thus may be useful in the treatment of cancer and other cell proliferative diseases. Compounds are assayed for anti-tumor activity using in vivo and in vitro assays which are well known to those skilled in the art. Generally, initial screens of compounds to identify candidate anti-cancer drugs are performed in cellular assays. Compounds identified as having anti-proliferative activity in such cell-based assays can then be subsequently assayed in whole organisms for anti-tumor activity and toxicity. Generally speaking, cell-based screens can be performed more rapidly and cost-effectively relative to assays that use whole

231

2016205003 18 Jul 2016 organisms. For purposes of the invention, the terms “anti-tumor” and “anti-cancer” activity are used interchangeably.

Cell-based methods for measuring antiproliferative activity are well known and can be used for comparative characterization of compounds of the invention. In general, cell proliferation and cell viability assays are designed to provide a detectable signal when cells are metabolically active. Compounds may be tested for antiproliferative activity by measuring any observed decrease in metabolic activity of the cells after exposure of the cells to compound. Commonly used methods include, for example, measurement of membrane integrity (as a measure of cell viability)(e.g. using trypan blue exclusion) or measurement of DNA synthesis (e.g. by measuring incorporation of BrdU or 3H-thymidine).

Some methods for assaying cell proliferation use a reagent that is converted into a detectable compound during cell proliferation. Particularly preferred compounds are tetrazolium salts and include without limitation MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyItetrazolium bromide; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)15 2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium), XTT (2,3-bis(2-Methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2Htetrazolium-5-carboxanilide), INT, NBT, and NTV (Bemas et al. Biochim Biophys Acta 1451(1):73-81, 1999). More commonly used assays utilizing tetrazolium salts detect cell proliferation by detecting the product of the enzymatic conversion of the tetrazolium salts into blue formazan derivatives, which are readily detected by spectroscopic methods (Mosman. J. Immunol.

0 Methods. 65:55-63, 1983).

Other methods for assaying cell proliferation involve incubating cells in a desired growth medium with and without the compounds to be tested. Growth conditions for various prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art (Ausubel et al. Current Protocols in Molecular Biology. Wiley and Sons. 1999; Bonifacino et al. Current Protocols in Cell

Biology. Wiley and Sons. 1999 both incorporated herein by reference). To detect cell proliferation, the tetrazolium salts are added to the incubated cultured cells to allow enzymatic conversion to the detectable product by active cells. Cells are processed, and the optical density of the cells is determined to measure the amount of formazan derivatives. Furthermore, commercially available kits, including reagents and protocols, are availabe for examples, from Promega Corporation (Madison, WI), Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO), and Trevigen (Gaithersburg, MD).

In addition, a wide variety of cell types may be used to screen compounds for antiproliferative activity, including the following cell lines, among others: COLO 205 (colon cancer), DLD-1 (colon cancer), HCT-15 (colon cancer), HT29 (colon cancer), HEP G2 (Hepatoma), K-562 (Leukemia), A549 (Lung), NCI-H249 (Lung), MCF7 (Mammary), MDA-MB-231 (Mammary), SAOS-2 (Osteosarcoma), OVCAR-3 (Ovarian), PANC-1 (Pancreas), DU-145 (Prostate), PC-3 (Prostate), ACHN (Renal), CAKI-1 (Renal), MG-63 (Sarcoma).

232

2016205003 18 Jul 2016

While the cell line is preferably mammalian, lower order eukaryotic cells such as yeast may also be used to screen compounds. Preferred mammalian cell lines are derived from humans, rats, mice, rabbits, monkeys, hamsters, and guinea pigs since cells lines from these organisms are wellstudied and characterized. However, others may be used as well.

Suitable mammalian cell lines are often derived from tumors. For example, the following tumor cell-types may be sources of cells for culturing cells: melanoma, myeloid leukemia, carcinomas of the lung, breast, ovaries, colon, kidney, prostate, pancreas and testes), cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, lymphocytes (T-cell and B cell), mast cells, eosinophils, vascular intimal cells, hepatocytes, leukocytes including mononuclear leukocytes, stem cells such as haemopoetic, neural, skin, lung, kidney, liver and myocyte stem cells (for use in screening for differentiation and de-differentiation factors), osteoclasts, chondrocytes and other connective tissue cells, keratinocytes, melanocytes, liver cells, kidney cells, and adipocytes. Nonlimiting examples of mammalian cells lines that have been widely used by researchers include HeLa, NIH/3T3, HT1080, CHO, COS-1,293T, Wl-38 and CV1/EBNA-1.

Other cellular assays may be used which rely upon a reporter gene to detect metabolically active cells. Non-limiting examples of reporter gene expression systems include green fluorescent protein (GFP), and luciferase. As an example of the use of GFP to screen for potential antitumor drugs, Sandman et al. (Chem Biol. 6:541-51; incorporated herein by reference) used HeLa cells containing an inducible variant of GFP to detect compounds that inhibited expression of the GFP,

0 and thus inhibited cell proliferation.

An example of cell-based assay is shown as below. The cell lines that can be used in the assay are Ba/F3, a murine pro-B cell line, which has been stably transfected with an expression vector pClneo™ (Promega Corp., Madison WI) coding for NPM-ALK and subsequent selection of G418 resistant cells. Non-transfected Ba/F3 cells depend on IL-3 for cell survival. In constrast

5 NPM-ALK expressing Ba/F3 cells (named Ba/F3-NPM-ALK) can proliferate in the absence of IL-3 because they obtain proliferative signal through NMP-ALK kinase. Putative inhibitors of NPMALK kinase therefore abolish the growth signal and result in antiproliferative activity. The antiproliferative activity of inhibitors of the NPM-ALK kinase can however be overcome by addition of IL-3 which provides growth signals through an NPM-ALK independent mechanism. For an analogous cell system using FLT3 kinase see E. Weisberg et al. Cancer cell, 2002,1, 433-443. The inhibitory activity of the compounds of formula I can be determined as follows: BaF3-NPMALK cells (15,000/microtitre plate well) can be transferred to a 96-well microtitre plates. The test compound (dissolved in DMSO) is then added in a series of concentrations (dilution series) in such a manner that the final concentration of DMSO is not greater than 1 % (v/v). After the addition, the

5 plates can be incubated for two days during which the control cultures without test compound are able to undergo two cell-division cycles. The growth of BaF3-NPM-ALK cells can be measured by means of Yopro™ staining (T Idziorek et al., J. Immunol. Methods 1995,185,249-258). 25 pL of

233

2016205003 18Jul2016 lysis buffer consisting of 20mM sodium citrate, pH 4.0,26.8 nM sodium chloride, 0.4% NP40, 20mM EDTA and 20mM is added into each well. Cell lysis is completed within 60 minutes at room temperature and total amount of Yopro bound to DNA is determined by measurement using for example a CytoFluor II 96-well reader (PerSeptive Biosystems). The ICjo can be determined by a computer aided system using the formula:

ICjo⁼ [(ABStea-ABSsianyiABScontrorABSstanllxl 00 in which ABS is absorption. The IC₅₀ value in such an experiment is given as that concentration of the test compound in question that results in a cell count that is 50% lower than that obtained using the control without inhibitor.

The antiproliferative action of compounds of the invention can also be determined in the human KARPAS-299 lymphoma cell line by means of an immunoblot as described in WG Dirks et al. Int. J. Cancer 2002,100, 49-56., using the methodology described above for the BaF3-NPMALK cell line.

In another example, antiproliferative activity can be determined using KARPAS-299 lumphoma cell line in the following procedure: Compounds of the invention were incubated with the cells for 3 days, and the number of viable cells in each well was measured indirectly using an MTS tetrazolium assay (Promega). This assay is a colorimetric method for determining the number of viable cells through measurement of their metabolic activity. For example the detection of the product of the enzymatic conversion of tetrazolium salts into blue formazan derivatives is achieved by measuring absorbance at 490 nm using a plate reader. 40 pL of the MTS reagent was added to all wells except the edge wells and then the plates were returned to the incubator at 37°C for 2 hours. The absorbance in each well was then measured at 490 nm using a Wallac VictoriV plate reader.

The IC50 was calculated by determining the concentration of compound required to decrease the MTS signal by 50% in best-fit curves using Microsoft XLfit software, by comparing with baseline,

5 the DMSO control, as 0% inhibition.

Compounds identified by such cellular assays as having anti-cell proliferation activity are then tested for anti-tumor activity in whole organisms. Preferably, the organisms are mammalian. Well-characterized mammalians systems for studying cancer include rodents such as rats and mice. Typically, a tumor of interest is transplanted into a mouse having a reduced ability to mount an immune response to the tumor to reduce the likelihood of rejection. Such mice include for example, nude mice (athymic) and SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) mice. Other transgenic mice such as oncogene containing mice may be used in the present assays (see for example USP 4,736,866 and USP 5,175,383). For a review and discussion on the use of rodent models for antitumor drug testing see Kerbel (Cancer Metastasis Rev. 17:301-304, 1998-99).

In general, the tumors of interest are implanted in a test organism preferably subcutaneously. The organism containing the tumor is treated with doses of candidate anti-tumor compounds. The size of the tumor is periodically measured to determine the effects of the test

Results

A wide variety of compounds of this invention were found to potently inhibit a number of important kinase targets. Many exhibited IC50’s under lOOnM, and in many cases under lOnM and '10 in some cases under 1 nM when tested as inhibitors of the kinase, ALK, for instance. Those included compounds containing the phosphine oxide moiety as an R° or R^e substituent as well as compounds in which positions X³ and X⁴ were the base of a substituted or unsubstituted fused ring which is present in a number of embodiments. Some compounds were single digit nanomolar inhibitors of a panel of kinases including kinases like ALK, FER, FLT3, FES/FPS, FAK/PTK2, BRK and others.

Compounds of the invention of various structures were found to exhibit preferences for inhibiting some kinases over others as well as variations in pharmacokinetic profiles, confirming that this class of compounds is of great interest as a source of potential pharmaceutical agents.

To illustrate the foregoing, a varied group of compounds (shown below) were tested and found to have 1C50 values under InM when tested against the kinase ALK.
