BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention is directed to the inhibition of cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chennotaxis) and/or T cell activation and proliferation using of quinoline/quinoxaline compounds which are useful protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKJs).
Cellular signaling is mediated through a system of interactions which include cell-cell contact or cell-matrix contact or extracellular receptor-substrate contact. The extracellular signal is often communicated to other parts of the cell via a tyrosine kinase mediated phosphorylation event which affects substrate proteins downstream of the cell Membrane bound signaling complex. A specific set of receptor-enzymes such as the insulin receptor, epidermal grouch factor receptor (EGF-R) or platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R) are examples of tyrosine kinase enzymes which are involved in cellular signaling. Autophosphorylation of the enzyme is required for efficient enzyme-mediated phosphorylation of substrate proteins containing tyrosine residues. These substrates are known to be responsible for a variety of cellular events including cellular proliferation, cellular matrix production. cellular migration and apoptosis to name a few.
It is understood that a large number of disease states are caused by either uncontrolled reproduction of cells or overproduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell death (apoptosis). These disease states involve a variety of cell types and include disorders such as leukemia, cancer, glioblastoma, psoriasis, inflammatory diseases, bone diseases, fibrotic diseases, atherosclerosis and restenosis occurring subsequent to angioplasty of the coronary, femoral or kidney arteries or, fibroproliferative disease such as in arthritis, fibrosis of the lung, kidney and liver. In addition, deregulated cellular proliferative conditions follow from coronary bypass surgery. The inhibition of tyrosine kinase activit>' is believed to have utility in the control of uncontrolled reproduction of cells or overproduction of matrix or poorly regulated programmed cell deatli (apoptosis).
It is also known that certain tyrosine kinase inhibitors can interact with more than one type of tyrosine kinase enzyme. Several tyrosine kinase enzymes are critical for the normal function of the body. For instance, it would be undesirable to inhibit insulin action in most normal circumstances. Therefore, compounds which inhibit PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activity at concentrations less than the concentrations effective in inhibiting the insulin receptor kinase could provide valuable agents for the

selective treatment of diseases characterized by cell proliferation and/or cell matrix production and/or cell movement (chemotaxis) such as restenosis.
This invention relates to the modulation and/or inhibition of cell signaling, cell proliferation, extracellular matrix production, chemotaxis, the control of abnormal cell growth and cell inflammalorv response. More specifically, this invention relates to the use of substituted quinoxaline compounds which exhibit selective inhibition of differentiation, proliferation or mediator release by effectively inhibiting platelet-derived growth factor-receptor (PDGF-R) tyrosine kinase activir>' and/or Lck tyrosine kinase activity.
2. Reported Developments
A number of literature reports describe tyrosine kinase inhibitors which are selective for tyrosine kinase receptor enzymes such as EGF-R or PDGF-R or non-receptor cytosolic tyrosine kinase enzymes such as v-abi, p56lck or c-src. Recent reviews by Spada and Myers {Exp. Opin. Ther, Patents 1995. j(8). 805) and Bridges (E^xp. Opin, Thcr. Patents 1995, 5(12), 1245) summarize the literature for tNrosinc kinase inhibitors and EGF-R selective inhibitors respectively. Additionally Law and Lydon have summarized the anticancer potential of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (Emerging; Drugs: The Prospect For Improved Medicines 1996, 241 "260).
Known inhibitors of PDGF-R tyrosine kinase activirv' includes quinoline-based inhibitors reported by Maguire et al. U Med Chem. 1994, i7, 2129). and by Dolle et al. (J, Med, Cheni. 1994, 37, 2627), A class of phenylamino-pyrimidine-based inhibitors was recently reported by Traxler el al. in EP 564409 and by Zimmennan, J.: and Traxler, P. et al. {Biorg, & Med. Chem, Lett. 1996. The correlation between the multifactorial disease of restenosis with PDGF and PDGF-R is well-documented throughout the scientific literature. However, recent developments into the imderstanding of fibrotic diseases of the lung (Antoniadcs, H. N.: et al../ Clin, Invest, 1990, 86. 1055), kidney and liver (Peterson, T. C. Hepatohg}\ 1993, 77, 486) have also implicated PDGF and PDGF-R as playing a role. For instance glomerulonephritis is a major cause of renal failure and PDGF has been identified to be a potent mitogen for mesangial cells in vitro as demonstrated by Shultz et al. (Am. J. Physiol. 1988. 255, F674) and by Floege, et al. (Clin, Exp. Immim, 199L 86, 334). It has been reported by Thomton, S. C: et al. (Clin. Exp, Imimin. 1991. 86, 79) that TNF-alpha and PDGF (obtained from human rheumatoid arthritis patients) are the major cylokines involved in proliferation of synovial cells. Furthermore, specific tumor cell types have been identified (see Silver, B. J., BioFactors, 1992, i, 217) such as glioblastoma and Kaposi's sarcoma which overexpress either the PDGF protein or receptor thus leading to the uncontrolled growth of cancer ceils via an autocrine or paracrine mechanism. Therefore, it is anticipated that a PDGF tyrosine kinase inhibitor would be useful in treating a variety of seemingly unrelated human disease conditions that can be characterized by the involvement of PDGF and or PDGF-R in their etiology.
The role of various non-receptor tyrosine kinases such as p56'* (hereinafter 'Lck') in infiammalion-relatcd conditions involving T cell activation and proliferation has been reviewed by

Hankc, et al {Inflamm. Res, 1995, -/-/. 357) and by Bolen and Brugge (Ann. Rev. Immwioi, 1997, 15. 371). These inflammatory conditions include allergy, autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis and transplant rejection. Another recent review summarizes various classes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors including compounds having Lck inhibitory activity (Groundwater, et. al Progress in MeJichinl Chcmistrv. 1996, 33, 233). Inhibitors of Lck tyrosine kinase activity include several natural products which arc generally non-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as staurosporine, genistein. certain flavones and erbstatin. Damnacanthol was recently reported to be a low nM inhibitor of Lck (Faltynek, et. al. Biochemistry. 1995, 34. 12404). Examples of synthetic Lck inhibitors include: a series ofdihydroxy-isoquinoline inhibitors reported as having low micromolar to submicromolar activity (Burke, et. al J. Med. Cheni. 1993. 36. 425); and a quinoline derivative found to be much less active having an Lck IC50 of 610 micromolar. Researchers have also disclosed a series of 4-subsiilulcd quinazolines thai inhibit Lck in the low micromolar to submicromolar range (Myers et al, W095/15758 and Myers, et. al Bioorg Med. Chem. Lett. 1997, 7, 417). Researchers at Pfizer (Hanke, et. al J. Biol. Chem. 1996. 27L 695) have disclosed two specific pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitors known as PIN and PP2 which have low nanomolar potency against Lck and Fyn. (another Src-faniilv kinase). No Lck inhibitory has been reported regarding quinoline or quinoxaline based compounds. Therefore, it is anticipated that a quinoline or quinoxaline based inhibitor of Lck tyrosine kinase activity could be useful in treating a variety of seemingly unrelated human disease conditions that can be characterized by the involvement of Lck tyrosine kinase signaling in their etiology.

3. Reductive amination reaction with amino-quinolines and aldehydes or ketones.
An appropriately substituted 3-amino quinoline (1 eq.) is stin-ed with I eq. of the appropriate aldehyde or ketone in methanol (or another suitable solvent mixture) until TLC indicates imine formation is complete. Excess NaCNBHj or NaBHj, or another suitable reducing agent is added and the mixture is stirred until TLC shows consumption of the intermediate imine. The mixture is concentrated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel with hexane/ethyl acetate (0-100 %) or chlorofonn/methanol (0-20%) to give the desired product.
4. coupling reaction of 3-amino substituted quinolines and bromopheny! compounds.
An appropriatf^ly substituted 3-amino quinoline (1 eq.) is stirred with -1.4 eq. of a strong base such as sodium /-butoxide, 1 eq. of the appropriate bromophenyl compound, and catalytic amounts of 2.2"-bis(diphcnylphosphino)-l-l '-binaphthyl (S-BINAP) and bis{dibenzylideneacetone)-Palladium (Pd(dba).) are mixed in an inert organic solvent such as toluene under an inert atmosphere such as argon and heated to about 80°C overnight. The mixture is cooled, diluted with a solvent such as ether, fdtered. concentrated and chromatographed with 50% EtOAc/hexane to give the desired product.
5. Ether formation from 3-hydroxy substituted quinolines via Mitsunobu conditions.
A THF solution of an appropriately substituted hydroxyquinoxaline (at about 0 to about 25 °C) is treated with I eq. each of the desired alcohol, triphenylphosphlne and llnally diethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD) or a suitable equivalent. The reaction progress is monitored via TLC and upon completion of the reaction (about I to about 24 hours) the mixture is concentrated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel to yield the desired product.
6. Dealkylation of a lower alkoxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline, and subsequent alkylalion.
An appropriate lower alkoxy substituted quinoline or quinoxaline (I eq.) in DMF is treated with
excess sodium ethanihiolate (usually about 2 or more eq.) and the reaction mixture is stirred with heating from about I to about 24 hours. The mixture is partitioned between water and ethyl acetate.

The compounds of the present invention arc useful in the form of the free base or acid or in the form ot a pharmaceulically acceptable salt thereof. All forms are within the scope of the invention.
Where the compound of the present invention is substituted with a basic moiet>\ acid,addition salts are formed and are simply a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the free base form. The acids which can be used to prepare the acid addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free base, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, thai is, salts whose anions are non-toxic to the patient in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial inhibitory effects on PDGF inherent in the free base are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the anions. Although pharmaceutically acceptable salts of said basic compounds are preferred, all acid addition salts are useful as sources of the free base form even if the particular salt, per se, is desired only as an intermediate product as. for example, when the salt is formed only for purposes of purification, and identification, or when it is used as intermediate in preparing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by ion exchange procedures. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention are those derived from the following acids: mineral adds such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfamic acid; and organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, methanesufonic acid, eihanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cyclohexylsulfamic acid, quinic acid, and the like. The corresponding acid addition salts comprise the following: hydrohalides. e.g. hydrochloride and hydrobroniide. sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, sulfamate, acetate, citrate, lactate, tartarate, malonate, oxalate, salicylate, propionate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, methylene-bis-p-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, mesylates, isethionates and di-p-loluoyltartratesmethanesulfonate, elhanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, cyclohexylsulfamate and quinate, respectively.
According to a further feature of the invention, acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared by reaction of the free base with the appropriate acid, by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, the acid addition salts of the compounds of this invention are prepared either by dissolving the free base in aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution or other suitable solvents containing the appropriate acid and isolating the sah by evaporating the solution, or by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent, in which case the salt separates directly or can be obtained by concentration of the solution.
The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the acid addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their acid addition salts by treatment with an alkali, e.g. aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution or aqueous ammonia solution.

Where the compound of the invention is substituted with an acidic moiety, base addition salts may be formed and are simply a more convenient form for use; and in practice, use of the salt form inherently amounts to use of the free acid fonn. The bases which can be used to prepare the base addition salts include preferably those which produce, when combined with the free acid, pharmaccutically acceptable salts, that is, salts whose cations are non-toxic to the animal organism in pharmaceutical doses of the salts, so that the beneficial inhibitory effects on PDGF inherent in the free acid are not vitiated by side effects ascribable to the cations. Pharmaccutically acceptable salts, including for example alkali and alkaline earth metal salts, within the scope of the invention are those derived trom the following bases: sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide, ammonia, trimcthvlammonia. Iriethylammonia, ethylenediamine, ?7-methyI-glucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline.

Metal salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting a hydride, hydroxide, carbonate or similar reactive compound of the chosen metal in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. The aqueous solvent employed may be water or it may be a mixture of water with an organic solvent, preferably an alcohol such as methanol or ethanoL a ketone such as acetone, an aliphatic ether such as tetrahydrofuran. or an ester such as ethyl acetate. Such reactions are normally conducted at ambient temperature but they may. if desired, be conducted with heating.
Amine salts of compounds of the present invention may be obtained by contacting an amine in an aqueous or organic solvent with the free acid form of the compound. Suitable aqueous solvents include water and mixtures of water with alcohols such as methanol or ethanol, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran. nitriles such as acetonitrile, or ketones such as acetone. Amino acid salts may be similarly prepared.
The compounds of this invention can be regenerated from the base addition salts by the application or adaptation of known methods. For example, parent compounds of the invention can be regenerated from their base addition salts by treatment with an acid, e.g., hydrochloric acid.
As well as being useful in themselves as active compounds, salts of compounds of the invention arc useful for the purposes of purification of the compounds, for example by exploitation of the solubility differences between the sails and the parent compounds, side products and/or starting materials by techniques well known to those skilled in the art-Compounds of the present invention may contain asymmetric centers. These asymmetric centers may independently be in either the R or S configuration. It will also be apparent to those skilled in the art thai certain compounds of formula I may exhibit geometrical isomerism. Geometrical isomers include the cis and frans forms of compounds of the invention, i.e., compounds having alkenyl moieties or substituents on the ring systems. In addition, bicyclo ring systems include encio and e.xo isomers. The present invention comprises the individual geometrical isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers and mixtures thereof

Such isomers can be separated from their mixtures^ by the application or adaptation of known
methods, for example chromatographic techniques and recrysiallization techniques, or they are
separately prepared from the appropriate isomers of their intermediates, for example by the application
or adaptation of methods described herein.
The starting materials and intermediates are prepared by the application or adaptation of known
methods, for example methods as described in the Reference Examples or their obvious chemical
equivalents, or by methods described according to the invention herein.

Compositions according to the invention may also be formulated in a manner which resists rapid clearance from the vascular (arterial or venous) wall by convection and/or diffusion, thereby increasing the residence time of the viral particles at the desired site of action. A periadventitial depot comprising a compound according to the invention may be used for sustained release. One such useful depot for administering a compound according to the invention may be a copolymer matrix, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate, or a polyvinyl alcohol gel surrounded by a Silastic shell. Alternatively, a compound according to the invention may be delivered locally from a silicone polymer implanted in the adventitia.
An alternative approach for minimizing washout of a compound according to the invention during percutaneous, transvascular delivery comprises the use of nondiffusible, drug-eluting microparticles. The microparticles may be comprised of a variety of synthetic polymers, such as polylactide for example, or natural substances, including proteins or polysaccharides. Such microparticles enable strategic manipulation of variables including total dose of drug and kinetics of its release. Microparticles can be injected efficiently into the arterial or venous wall through a porous balloon catheter or a balloon over stent, and are retained in Uie vascular wall and the periadventitial tissue for at least about two weeks. Formulations and methodologies for local, intravascular site-specific

delivery of therapeutic agents are discussed in Reissen et al. (J. Am. Coli Cardioi. 1994; 23: 1234-1244), ilic entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
A composition according to the invention may also comprise a hydrogel which is prepared from any biocompatible or non-c\lotoxic (homo or hetero) polymer, such as a bydrophilic polyacrylic acid polymer that can act as a drug absorbing sponge. Such polymers have been described, for example, in application WO93/08845, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference, Cenain of them, such as, in particular, those obtained from ethylene and/or propylene oxide are commercially .ivailable.
In the use of compounds according to the invention for treating pathologies which are linked to Mypeiprolifcrative disorders, the compounds according to the invention can be administered in'different ways. For the treatment of restenosis, the compounds of the invention are administered directly to the \Aoo6 vessel wall by means of an angioplasty balloon which is coated with a hydrophilic film (for t \ample a hydrogel) which is saturated with the compoimd. or by means of any other catheter containing ;in infusion chanibcr for the compound, which can thus be applied in a precise manner to the site to be licated and allow the compound to be liberated locally and efficiently at the location of the cells to be luMied. This method of administration advantageously makes it possible for the compound to contact .|iiickly the cells in need of treatment.
The treatment method of the invention preferably consists in introducing a compound according tu the invention at the site to be treated. For example, a hydrogel containing composition can be dtposited directly onto the surface of the tissue to be treated, for example during a surgical intervention. Nilvantageously. the hydrogel is introduced at the desired intravascular site by coating a catheter, for r.\a/iiple a balloon catheter, and delivery to the vascular wall, preferably at the time of angioplasty. In a p;iriicularly advantageous manner, the saturated hydrogel is introduced at the site to be treated by means ( t a balloon catheter. The balloon may be chaperoned by a protective sheath as the catheter is advanced (c>dstream.
Another embodiment of the invention provides for a compound according to the invention to be uiministered by means of perfusion balloons. These perfusion balloons, which make it possible to maintain a blood flow and thus to decrease the risks of ischaemia of the myocardium, on inflation of the halioon. also enable the compound to be delivered locally at normal pressure for a relatively long time, \\\ The use of a perfusion balloon catheter is especially advantageous, as it Has the advantages of \n^\\\ keeping the balloon inflated for a longer period of time by retaining the properties of facilitated Jhiini: and of site-spccificily of the hydrogeL are gained simultaneously.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to the invention and poloxamer, such as Poloxamer 407 is a non-toxic, biocompatible polyol, commercially available (BASF, Parsippany, NJ).
A poloxamer impregnated with a compound according to the invention may be deposited directly on the surface of the tissue to be treated, for example during a surgical intervention. Poloxamer possesses essentially the same advantages as hydrogei while having a lower viscosity,
I he use of a channel balloon catheter with a poloxamer impregnated with a compound according to the invention is especially advantageous. In this case, the advantages of both keeping the balloon inflated for a longer period of time, while retaining the properties of facilitated sliding, and of site-spccificity of the poloxamer, are gained simultaneously.
The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained. Obviouslv, several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. A dose employed may be dctcmiined by a physician or qualified medical professional, and depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration and the duration of the treatment, and the condition of the patient.

The compounds of the present invention may also be formulated for use in conjunction with other therapeutic agents such as agents or in connection with the application of therapeutic techniques to address pharmacological conditions which may be ameliorated through the application of a compound of formula I, such as in the following:
The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of restenosis post angioplasty using any device such as balloon, ablation or laser techniques. The compounds of the present invention may be used in the treatment of restenosis following stent placement in the vasculature either as I) primary treatment for vascular blockage, or 2) in the instance where angioplasty using any device fails to give a patent artery. The compounds of the present invention may be used either orally, by parenteral administration or the compound could be applied topically through the intervention of a specific device or as a properly formulated coating on a stent device.

In one aspect, the coating on a stent device is formed by applying polymeric material in which the compound of the invention is incorporated to at least one surface of the stent device.
Polymeric materials suitable for incorporating the compound of the invention include polymers having relatively low processing temperatures such as polycaprolactonc, poly(ethyIene-co-vinyl acetate) or poly(vinyl acetate or silicone gum rubber and polymers having similar relatively low processing temperatures. Other suitable polymers include non-degradable polymers capable of carrying and delivering therapeutic drugs such as latexes, urethanes, polysiloxanes. styrene-ethylene/butylene-stN'rene block copolymers (SEES) and biodegradable, bioabsorbable polymers capable of carr>'ing and delivering therapeutic drugs, such as poly-DL-laciic acid (DL-PLA), and poly-L-lactic acid (L-PLA), polyonhoesters, polyiminocarbonates, aliphatic polycarbonates, and polyphosphazenes.
A porosigen may also be incorporated in the drug loaded polymer by adding the porosigen to the polymer along with the therapeutic drug to form a porous, drug loaded polymeric membrane. "Porosigen'* means as any moiety, such as microgranules of sodium chloride, lactose, or sodium heparin, for example, which will dissolve or otherwise be degraded when immersed in body fluids to leave behind a porous network in the polymeric material. The pores left by such porosignes can typically be a large as 10 microns. The pores formed by porosignes such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide (PEO/PPO) copolymers, for example, can also be smaller than one micron, although other similar materials which form phase separations from the continuous drug loaded polymeric matrix and can later be leached out by body fluids can also be suitable for forming pores smaller than one micron. The polymeric material can be applied to the stent while the therapeutic drug and porosigen material are contained within the polymeric material, to allow the porosigen to be dissolved or degraded by body fluids when the stent is placed in a blood vessel, or alternatively, the porosigen can be dissolved and removed from the polymeric material to form pores in the polymeric material prior to placement of the polymeric material combined with the stent within a blood vessel.
If desired, a rate-controlling membrane can also be applied over the drug loaded polymer, to limit the release rate of the compound of the invention. The rate-controlling membrane can be added by applying a coating form a solution, or a lamination. The rate-controlling membrane applied over the polymeric material can be fomied to include a uniform dispersion of a porosigen in the rate-controlling membrane, and the porosigen in the rate-controlling membrane can be dissolved to leave pores in the rate-controlling membrane t>'pically as large as 10 microns, or as small as 1 micron, for example, although the pores can also be smaller than 1 micron. The porosigen in the rate-controlling membrane can be, for example sodium chloride, lactose, sodium heparin, polyethylene glycol polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide copolymers, and mixtures thereof.
In another aspect, the coating on the stent device can be formed by applying the compound of the invention to at least one surface of the stent device to form a bioaclive layer and then applying one or more coats of porous polymeric material over the bioactive layer, such that the porous polymeric material has a thickness adequate to provide a controlled release of the compound.
The porous polymeric material may be composed of a polyamide, parylene or a paiylene derivative applied by catalyst-free vapor desposition. "Parylene" refers to a polymer based on p-xylylene and made by vapor phase polymerization as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,824.049, incorporated herein by reference.

dimelhacrylate.
Also useful in some special instances are monoacr>'lates such as n-buiyl-acrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, lauryl-acrylate. and 2-hydro.\y-propyl acr>'late. Small quantities of amides of (meth)acrylic acid such as N-methylol melhacrylamide butyl ether are also suitable, N-vinyl compounds such as N-vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl esters of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids such as vinyl oleate, vinyl ethers of diols such as butanediol-l.4-divinyl ether and allyl ether and allyl ester are also suitable. Also included are other monomers such as the reaction products of di- or polyepoxides such as butanediol-1. 4-diglycidyl ether or bisphenol A diglycidyl ether with {meth)acrylic acid. The characteristics of the photopolymerizable liquid dispersing medium can be modified for the specific purpose by a suitable selection of monomers or mixtures thereof.
Other useful polymer systems include a polymer that is biocompatible and minimizes irritation to the vessel wall when the stent is implanted. The polymer may be either a biostable or a bioabsorbable polymer depending on the desired rate of release or the desired degree of polymer stability.
