Full Text FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] This invention pertains generally to methods for inhibiting
fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 and methods of treating multiple myeloma,
particularly in patients or cells with a t(4;14) chromosomal translocation. This
invention also pertains to the use of benzimidazole quinolinone compounds in
the preparation of medicaments for use in inhibiting fibroblast growth factor
receptor 3 and treating multiple myeloma, particular|y in patients or cells with
a t(4;14) chromosomal translocation.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Capillaries reach into almost all tissues of the human body and
supply tissues with oxygen and nutrients as well as removing waste products.
Under typical conditions, the endothelial cells lining the capillaries do not
divide, and capillaries, therefore, do not normally increase in number or size in
a human adult. Under certain normal conditions, however, such as when a
tissue is damaged, or during certain parts of the menstrual cycle, the
capillaries begin to proliferate rapidly. This process of forming new capillaries
from pre-existing blood vessels is known as a ngiogenesis or
neovascularization. See Folkman, J. Scientific American 275,15O-154
(1996). Angiogenesis during wound healing is an example of
pathophysiological neovascularization during adult life. During wound
healing, the additional capillaries provide a supply of oxygen and nutrients,
promote granulation tissue, and aid in waste removal. After termination of the
healing process, the capillaries normally regress. Lymboussaki, A. "Vascular
Endothelial Growth Factors and their Receptors in Embryos, Adults, and in
Tumors" Academic Dissertation, University of Helsinki, Molecular/Cancer
Biology Laboratory and Department of Pathology, Haartman Institute, (1999).

[0003] Angiogenesis also plays an important role in the growth of
cancer cells. It is known that once a nest of cancer cells reaches a certain
size, roughly 1 to 2 mm in diameter, the cancer cells must develop a blood
supply in order for the tumor to grow larger as diffusion will not be sufficient to
supply the cancer cells with enough oxygen and nutrients. Thus, inhibition of
angiogenesis is expected to halt the growth of cancer cells.
[0004] Receptor tylosine kinases (RTKs) are transmembrane
polypeptides that regulate developmental cell growth and differentiation,
remodeling and regeneration of adult tissues. Mustonen, T. et al., J. Cell
Biology 129,895-898 (1995); van der Geer, P. et al. Ann Rev. Cell Biol. 10,
251-337 (1994). Polypeptide ligands known as growth factors or cytokines,
are known to activate RTKs. Signaling RTKs involves ligand binding and a
shift in conformation in the external domain of the receptor resulting in its
dimerization. Lymboussaki, A. "Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors and their
Receptors in Embryos, Adults, and in Tumors* Academic Dissertation,
University of Helsinki, Molecular/Cancer Biology Laboratory and Department
of Pathology, Haartman Institute, (1999); Ullrich, A. et al., Cell 81, 203-212
(1990). Binding of the ligand to the RTK results in receptor trans-
phosphorylation at specific tylosine residues and subsequent activation of the
catalytic domains for the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic substrates. Id.
[0005] Two subfamilies of RTKs are specific to the vascular
endothelium. These include the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
subfamily and the Tie receptor subfamily. Class V RTKs include VEGFR1
(FLT-1), VEGFR2 (KDR (human), Flk-1 (mouse)), and VEG FR3 (FLT-4).

6,1677-1683 (1991); Aprelikova, O. et al., Cancer Res. 52, 746-748 (1992).
[0006] Members of the VEGF subfamily have been described as being
able to induce vascular permeability and endothelial cell proliferation and
further identified as a major inducer of angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.
Ferrara, N. et al., Endocrinol. Rev. 18,4-25 (1997). VEGF Is known to

specifically bind to RTKs including FLT-1 and Flk-1. DeVries, C. et al.,
Science 255,989-991 (1992); Quinn, T. et al.. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 90,7533-
7537 (1993). VEGF stimulates the migration and proliferation of endothelial
cells and induces angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. Connolly, D. et al., J.
Biol. Chem. 264, 20017-20024 (1989); Connolly, D. et al., J. Clin. Invest. 84,

D. et al., Science 246,1306-1309 (1989); Plouet, J. et al., EMBO J 8, 3801-
3806 (1989).
[0007] Because angiogenesis is known to be critical to the growth of
cancer and to be controlled by VEGF and VEGF-RTK, substantial efforts have
been undertaken to develop compounds which inhibit or retard angiogenesis
and inhibit VEGF-RTK.
[0008] Platelet derived growth factor receptor kinase (PDGFR) is
another type of RTK. PDGF expression has been shown in a number of
different solid tumors, from glioblastomas to prostate carcinomas. In these
various tumor types, the biological role of PDGF signaling can vary from
autocrine stimulation of cancer cell growth to more subtle paracrine
interactions involving adjacent stroma and angiogenesis. Therefore, inhibiting
the PDGFR kinase activity with small molecules may interfere with tumor
growth and angiogenesis.
[0009] Tie-2 is a membrane RTK. Upon binding to its ligand, Tie-2 is
activated and phosphorylates its downstream signal proteins. Tie-2 kinase
activity may then trigger a pathway of cellular response that leads to
stabilization of vascular vessels in cancer. Therefore, blocking kinase activity
of Tie-2, in synergy with blockage of activity of other angiogenic kinases such
as VEGF and FGFR1 receptor kinases, may be effective in cutting off the
blood supply to cancer cells and in treating the disease.
[0010] FLT-3 is a receptor tylosine kinase belonging to the PDGF
Receptor family expressed on acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells in a

majority of patients and can be present in wildtype form or have activating
mutations that result in constitutively active kinase function. An internal
tandem repeat (ITD) mutation is expressed in about 25% of AML patients and
has been associated with poor prognosis in AML patients. Levis, M et al
Blood 99,11; 2002.
[0011J c-Kit is another receptor tylosine kinase belonging to PDGF
Receptor family and is normally expressed in hematopoietic progenitor, mast
and germ cells. C-kit expression has been implicated in a number of cancers
including mast cell leukemia, germ cell tumors, small-cell lung carcinoma,
gastroinstestinal stromal tumors, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML),
neuroblastoma, melanoma, ovarian carcinoma, breast carcinoma. Heinrich,
M. C. et al; J. Clin. One. 20,61692-1703,2002 (review article); Smolich, B.
D. et al Blood, 97, 5; 1413-1421.
[0012] c-AB L is a tylosine kinase that was originally identified as an
oncogene product from the genome of the Abelson m urine leukemia virus.
About 90% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), 2O-30% of acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and about 1% of acute myeloblasts leukemia
(AML) have a reciprocal translocation between chromsome 9 and 22. The
translocation results in the Philadelphia' chromosome and is the reason for
the expression of a chimeric BCR/ABL transcript
[0013] FGFR3 is a tylosine kinase associated with various cancers.
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is a class IV receptor tylosine
kinase. FGFR3 is deregulated due to a 1(4,14) translocation in about 15-20%
of multiple myeloma patients. This translocation causes the expression of a
functional FGFR3 that can respond to FGF1 in e.g. the bone
microenvironment. In some cases, activating mutations that make FGFR3
ligand independent have been identified. These activating FGFR3 mutations
have been found to cause Ras-like tumor progression and evidence exists
that similar signaling pathways are utilized (Chesl, et al., Blood 2001 97 729-
736.).

[0014] Multiple myeloma (MM), a disease of malignant B cells, is
characterized by the accumulation of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow
(BM) and osteolytic bone lesions; Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT)
and advances in supportive care have had a significant impact on the disease
and long-term survival. Attal, M. et al., N.Engl. J. Med., 1996; 335:91-97; and
Barlogie, B. et al., Blood, 1997; 89:789-793. However, patients invariably
relapse, and MM remains a universal fatal disease. The identification of
nonrandom chromosomal translocations in MM has resulted in the
development of powerful prognostic tools and the identification of novel
molecular targets. Nearly half of; patients with MM overexpress a putative
oncogene, dysregulated by one of five recurrent immunoglobulin heavy (IgH)
translocations: 11q13 (cyclin D1), 6p21 (cyclin D3), 4p16 (FGFR3 and
MMSET), 16q23 (c-maf) and 20q11 (mafB). Kuehl, W. M. et al, Nat Rev
Cancer, 2002; 2:175-187; and Avet-Loiseau, H. et al.. Blood, 2002; 99:2185-
2191. These translocations likely represent an early and possibly seminal
event in the development of MM. More recently, it has become clear that
these specific IgH translocations impart prognostic significance. Particularly,
the t(4;14) translocation with occurs in approximately 20% of patients appears
to confer a particularly poor prognosis for MM, with no apparent therapeutic
benefit to ASCT. Fonseca, R. et al., Blood, 2003; 101:4569-4575; Keats, J. J.
et al.,Blood,2003; 101:152O-1529; Moreau, P. et al., Blood, 2002; 100:1579-
1583; and Chang, H. et al., Br. J.Haematol., 2004; 125:64-68. Clearly, novel
treatment approaches are required for these patients.
[0015] The t(4;14) translocation is unusual in that it appears to
dysregulate two potential oncogenes, MMSET on der(4) and FGFR3 on
der(14). Chesi, M. et at., Nat Genet, 1997; 16:26O-265; and Ghesi, M. et al.,
Blood, 1998; 92:3025-3034. Whether dysregulation of either or both of these
genes is critical for MM pathogenesis is not known, however several lines of
evidence support a role for FGFR3 in tumor initiation and progression.
Activation ofWT FGFR3, a RTK, promotes proliferation and survival in
myeloma cells and is weakly transforming in a hemato poetic mouse model.

Piowright, E. E. et al., Blood, 2000; 95:992-998; Chesi, M. et al., Blood, 2001;
97:729-736; and Pollett, J. B. et al., Blood, 2002; 100:3819-3821.
Subsequent acquisition of activating mutations of FGFR3 in some MM are
associated with progression to late stage myeloma and are strongly
transforming in several experimental models. Chesi, M. et al., Blood, 2001;
97:729-736; and Li, Z. et ah. Blood, 2001; 97:2413-2419. Invitostudies
suggest that FGFR3 can impart chemoresistance, an observation supported
by clinical data that demonstrate poor responses to conventional
chemotherapy and shortened median survival of t(4;14) MM patients.
Fonseca, R. et al, Blood, 2003; 101:4569-4575; Keats, J. J. et al., Blood,
2003; 101:152O-1529;Moreau, P. et al., Blood, 2002; 100:1579-1583; and
Chang, H. -et al., Br. J. Haematol., 2004; 125:64-68. These findings suggest
that ectopic expression of FGFR3 may play a significant, albeit not a singular,
role in myeloma oncogenesis thus making this RTK a target for molecular
based therapy.
[0016] Inhibition of FGFR3 in t(4;14) MM cell lines induces cytotoxic
responses demonstrating that these cells remain dependent on FGFR3
signaling despite the complexity of genetic alterations in these cells derived
from end stage patients. TrudeLS.ef al., Blood, 2004; 103:3521-3528;
Paterson, J. L. et al., Br. J. Haematol, 2004; 124:595-603; and Grand ,E. K.
et al., Leukemia, 2004; 18:962-966. These observations are congruent with
the results of receptor tylosine inactivation in a range of human malignancies
where clinical successes have been documented and encourage the clinical
development of FGFR3 inhibitors for the treatment of these poor-prognosis
patients. Druker, B. J. et al.,N. Engl. J. Med., 2001; 344:1031-1037; Demetri,
G. D. et al, N. Engl. J. Med., 2002; 347:472-480; Slamon, D. J. et al., N. Engl.
J. Med. 2001; 344:783-792; and Smith, B. D. et al., Blood, 2004; 103:3669-
3676.
[0017] Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) is a serine/threonine
kinase for which two isoforms, a and B, have been identified. Woodgett,
Trends Biochem. Sci., 16:177-81 (1991). Both GSK-3 isoforms are

constitutively active in resting cells. GSK-3 was originally identified as a
kinase that inhibits glycogen synthase by direct phosphorylation. Upon insulin
activation, GSK-3 is inactivated, thereby allowing the activation of glycogen
synthase and possibly other insulin-dependent events, such glucose
transport Subsequently, it has been shown that GSK-3 activity is also
inactivated by other growth factors that, like insulin, signal through receptor
tylosine kinases (RTKs). Examples of such signaling molecules include IGF-
1 and EGF. Saito et al., Biochem. J., 30327-31 (1994); We|sh et al,
Biochem. J. 294:625-29 (1993); and Cross et al, Biochem. J., 303:21-26
(1994).
[0018] Agents that inhibit GSK-3 activity are useful in the treatment of
disorders that are mediated by GSK-3 activity. In addition, inhibition of GSK-3
mimics the activation of growth factor signaling pathways and consequently
GSK-3 inhibitors are useful in the treatment of diseases in which such
pathways are insufficiently active. Examples of diseases that can be treated
with GSK-3 inhibitors are described below.
[0019] Diabetes mellitus is a serious metabolic disease that is defined
by the presence of chronically elevated levels of blood glucose
(hyperglycemia). This state of hyperglycemia is the result of a relative or
absolute lack of activity of the peptide hormone, insulin. Insulin is produced
and secreted by the p cells of the pancreas. Insulin is reported to promote
glucose utilization, protein synthesis, and the formation and storage of
carbohydrate energy as glycogen. Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen,
a form of polymerized glucose, which may be converted back into glucose to
meet metabolism requirements. Under normal conditions, insulin is secreted
at both a basal rate and at enhanced rates following glucose stimulation, all to
maintain metabolic homeostasis by the conversion of glucose into glycogen.
[0020] The term diabetes mellitus encompasses several different
hyperglycemic states. These states include Type 1 (insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus or IDDM) and Type 2 (non-insulin dependent diabetes

mellitus or NIDDM) diabetes. The hyperglycemia present in individuals with
Type 1 diabetes is associated with deficient, reduced, or nonexistent levels of
insulin that are insufficient to maintain blood glucose levels within the
physiological range. Conventionally, Type 1 diabetes is treated by
administration of replacement doses of insulin, generally by a parental route.
Since GSK-3 inhibition stimulates insulin-dependent processes, it is useful in
the treatment of type 1 diabetes.
[0021] Type 2 diabetes is an increasingly prevalent disease of aging. It
is initially characterized by decreased sensitivity to insulin and a
compensatory elevation in circulating insulin concentrations, the latter of
which is required to maintain normal blood glucose levels. Increased insulin
levels are caused by increased secretion from the pancreatic beta cells, and
the resulting hyperinsulinemia is associated with cardiovascular complications
of diabetes. As insulin resistance worsens, the demand on the pancreatic
beta cells steadily increases until the pancreas can no longer provide
adequate levels of insulin, resulting in elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
Ultimately, overt hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia occur, leading to the
devastating long-term complications associated with diabetes, including
cardiovascular disease, renal failure and blindness. The exact mechanism(s)
causing type 2 diabetes are unknown, but result in impaired glucose transport
into skelet al muscle and increased hepatic glucose production, in addition to
inadequate insulin response. Dietary modifications are often ineffective,
therefore the majority of patients ultimately require pharmaceutical
intervention in an effort to prevent and/or slow the progression of the
complications of the disease. Many patients can be treated with one or more
of the many oral anti-diabetic agents available, including sulfonylureas, to
increase insulin secretion. Examples of sulfonylurea drugs include metformin
for suppression of hepatic glucose production, and troglitazone, an insulin-
sensitizing medication. Despite the utility of these agents, 3O-40% of
diabetics are not adequately controlled using these medications and require
subcutaneous insulin injections. Additionally, each of these therapies has

associated side effects. For example, sulfonylureas can cause hypoglycemia
and troglitazone can cause severe hepatoxicity. Presently, there is a need for
new and improved drugs for the treatment of prediabetic and diabetic patients.
[0022] As described above, GSK-3 inhibition stimulates insulin-
dependent processes and is consequently useful in the treatment of type 2
diabetes. Recent data obtained using lithium salts provides evidence for this
notion. The lithium ion has recently been reported to inhibit GSK-3 activity.
Klein et al., PNAS 93:8455-9 (1996). Since 1924, lithium has been reported
to have antidiabetic effects including the ability to reduce plasma glucose
levels, increase glycogen uptake, potentiate insulin, up-regulate glucose
synthase activity and to stimulate glycogen synthesis in skin, muscle a nd fat
cells. However, lithium has not been widely accepted for use in the inhibition
of GSK-3 activity, possibly because of its documented effects on molecular
targets other than GSK-3. The purine analog 5-iodotubercidin, also a GSK-3
inhibitor, likewise stimulates glycogen synthesis and antagonizes inactivation
of glycogen synthase by glucagon and vasopressin in rat liver cells.
Fluckiger-lsler et al., Biochem J. 292:85-91 (1993); and Massillon et al.,
Biochem J. 299:123-8 (1994). However, this compound has also been shown
to inhibit other serine/threonine and tylosine kinases. Massillon et al.,
Biochem J. 299:123-8 (1994).
[0023] One of the main goals in the management of patients with
diabetes mellitus is to achieve blood glucose levels that are as close to
normal as possible. In general, obtaining normal postprandial blood glucose
levels is more difficult than normalizing fasting hyperglycemia. In addition,
some epidemiological studies suggest that postprandial hyperglycemia
(PPHG) or hyperinsulinemia are independent risk factors for the development
of macrovascular complications of diabetes mellitus. Recently, several drugs
with differing pharmacodynamic profiles have been developed which target
PPHG. These include insulin lispro, amylin analogues, alpha-glucosidase
inhibitors and meglitinide analogues. Insulin lispro has a more rapid onset of
action and shorter duration of efficacy compared with regular human insulin.

In clinical trials, the use of insulin lispro has been associated with improved
control of PPHG and a reduced incidence of hypoglycemic episodes.
Repaglinide, a meglitinide analogue, is a short-acting insulinotropic agent
which, when given before meals, stimulates endogenous insulin secretions
and lowers postprandial hyperglycaemic excursions. Both insulin lispro and
repaglinide are associated with postprandial hyperinsulinaemia. In contrast,
amylin analogues reduce PPHG by slowing gastric emptylng and delivery of
nutrients to the absorbing surface of the gut Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
such as acarbose, miglitoi and vogiibose also reduce PPHG primarily by
interfering with the carbohydrate-digesting enzymes and delaylng glucose
absorption. Yamasaki et al., Tohoku J Exp Med 1997; 183(3): 173-83. the
GSK inhibitors of the present invention are also useful, alone or in
combination with the agents set forth above, in the treatment of postprandial
hyperglycemia as well as in the treatment of fasting hyperglycemia.
[0024] GSK-3 is also involved in biological pathways relating to
Alzheimer's disease (AD). The characteristic pathological features of AD are
extracellular plaques of an abnormally processed form of the amyloid
precursor protein (APP), so called β-amyloid peptide (β-AP) and the
development of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles containing paired helical
filaments (PHF) that consist largely of hyperphosphorylated tau protein. GSK-
3 is one of a number of kinases that have been found to phosphorylate tau
protein in vitro on the abnormal sites characteristic of PHF tau, and is the only
kinase also demonstrated to do this in living cells and in animals. Lovestone
et al., Current Biology 4:1077-86 (1994); and Brownlees et al., Neuroreport 8:
3251-3255 (1997). Furthermore, the GSK-3 kinase inhibitor, LiCl, blocks tau
hyperphosphorylation in cells. Stambolic et al., Current Biohgy 6: 1664-8
(1996). Thus GSK-3 activity may contribute to the generation of neurofibrillary
tangles and consequently to disease progression. Recently it has been
shown that GSK-3β associates with another key protein in AD pathogenesis,
presenillin 1 (PS1). Takashima et al., PNAS 95:9637-9641 (1998). Mutations
in the PS1 gene lead to increased production of β-AP, but the authors also

demonstrate that the mutant PS1 proteins bind mdre tightly to GSK-3β and
potentiate the phosphorylation of tau, which is bound to the same region of
PS1.
[0025] -, It has also been shown that another GSK-3 substrate, β-catenin,
binds to PSI. Zhong et al., Nature 395:698-702 (1998). Cytosolic β-catenin is
targeted for degradation upon phosphorylation by GSK-3 and reduced β-
catenin activity is associated with increased sensitivity of neuronal celts to β-
AP induced neuronal apoptosis. Consequently, increased association of
GSK-3β with mutant PS1 may account for the reduced levels of β-catenin that
have been observed in the brains of PS1-mutant AD patients and to the
disease related increase in neuronal cell-death. Consistent with these
observations, it has been shown that injection of GSK-3 antisense but not
sense, blocks the pathological effects of β-AP on neurons in vitro, resulting in
a 24 hour delay in the onset of cell death and increased cell survival at 1 hour
from 12 to 35%. Takashima et al., PNAS 90:7789-93. (1993). In these latter
studies, the effects on cell-death are preceded (within 3-6 hours of β-AP
administration) by a doubling of intracellular GSK-3 activity, suggesting that in
addition to genetic mechanisms that increase the proximity of GSK-3 to its
substrates, β-AP may actually increase GSK-3 activity. Further evidence for a
role for GSK-3 in AD is provided by the observation that the protein
expression level (but, in this case, not specific activity) of GSK-3 is increased
by 50% in postsynaptosomal supernatants of AD vs. normal brain tissue. Per
et al., J. NeuropatholExp., 56:7O-78 (1997). Thus, specific inhibitors of GSK-
3 should slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease.
[0026] In addition to the effects of lithium described above, there is a
long history of the use of lithium to treat bipolar disorder (manic depressive
syndrome). This clinical response to lithium may reflect an involvement of
GSK-3 activity in the etiology of bipolar disorder, in which case GSK-3
inhibitors could be relevant to that indication. In support of this notion it was
recently shown that valproate, another drug commonly used in the treatment

of bipolar disorder, is a(so a GSK-3 inhibitor1. Chen et aU J, Neumchemistry,
72:1327-1330 (1999). One mechanism by which lithium and other GSK-3
inhibitors may act to treat bipolar disorder is to increase the survival of
neurons subjected to aberrantly high levels of excitation induced by the
neurotransmitter; glutamate. Nonaka et ai., PNAS 95:2642-2647 (1998).
Glutamate-induced neuronal excitotoxicity is also believed to be a major
cause of neurodegeneration associated with acute damage, such as in
cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury and bacterial infection. Furthermore it
is believed that excessive glutamate signaling is a factor in the chronic
neuronal damage seen in diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntingdon's,
Parkinson's, AIDS associated dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
and multiple sclerosis (MS). Thomas, J. Am.Geriatr. Soc. 43:1279-89 (1995).
Consequently, GSK-3 inhibitors should provide a useful treatment in these
and other neurodegenerative disorders.
[0027] GSK-3 phosphorylates transcription factor NFrAT and promotes
its export from the nucleus, in opposition to the effect of calcineurin. Beals et
al., Science 275:193O-33 (1997). Thus, GSK-3 blocks early immune
response gene activation via NF-AT, and GSk-3 inhibitors may tend to permit
or prolong activation of immune responses. Thus, GSK-3 inhibitors are
believed to prolong and potentiate the immunostimulatory effects of certain
cytokines, and such an effect may enhance the potential of those cytokines
for tumor immunotherapy or indeed for immunotherapy in general.
[0028] Lithium has other biological effects. It is a potent stimulator of
hematopoiesis, both in vitm and in vivo. Hammond et al., Blood 55:26-28
(1980). In dogs, lithium carbonate eliminated recurrent neutropenia and
normalized other blood cell counts. Doukas et al. Exp. Hematol. 14:215-221
(1986). If these effects of lithium are mediated through the inhibition of GSK-
3, GSK-3 inhibitors may have even broader applications. Since inhibitors of
GSK-3 are useful in the treatment of many diseases, the identification of new
inhibitors of GSK-3 would be highly desirable.

[0029] NEK-2 is a mammalian serine threonine kinase, which is
structurally related to the NimA kinase from the fungus Aspergillus nidulans.
Mutations in NimA result in G2 phase arrest of cells and overexpression of wt
NimA results in premature chromatin condensation, even when ectopically
expressed in mammalian cells. Both protein and kinase levels peak in S/G2
phase of the cell cycle. NimA also appears to be required for the localization
of cdkl/cyclinB complex to the nucleus and spindle pole body. Histone H3
has been shown to be an in vitro substrate for the kinase, and if this is also
the case in vivo, it may explain the role of the kinase in chromosome
condensation. Six NimA kinases have been identified to date in mammals,
and of these, NEK-2 appears to be the most closely related to NimA. lfs
activity is also cell cycle regulated, peaking in S/G2 phase. Overexpression of
NEK-2, however, does not affect chromatin condensation but instead results
in a pronounced splitting of centrosomes, possibly due to the loss of
centriole/centriole adhesion. There is evidence that NEK-2 is regulated by
phosphorylation and can interact with protein phosphatase PPT. NEK-2 is
ubiquitously expressed and appears to be most abundant in testis. Hyseq
cluster 374113, containing only NEK-2 sequences shows dramatic
overexpression of NEK-2 in lymph node metastasis (13.3x) and in primary
tumor (6.5x). Inhibition of NEK-2 by antisense oligonucleotides inhibited cell
proliferation and reduced the capability of cells to grow in soft agar. In
addition, increased cell death was observed in these cells both in the
presence and absence of cisplatin.
[0030] Ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation, environmental agents and
cytotoxic drugs can result in damage to cellular DNA integrity. When such
damage occurs during DNA replication or cell division it is potentially
catastrophic and may result in cell death. The cellular response is to arrest
the cell cycle at one of two checkpoints (G1/S or G2/M) to either permit DNA
repair or initiate apoptosis.


[0031] The G1/S checkpoint is regulated by the p53 transcriptional
activator protein and the absence of this critical protein is often an important
step in tumorigenesis, thus defining p53 as a tumor suppressor. In fact,
nearly 50% of all cancers are p53 defective due to mutation. T. Soussi, Ann.
N.Y. AcadScL, 910,121 (2001). In response to DNA damage, checkpoint
kinase 2 (CHK-2) phosphorylates p53 and this results in stabilization of the
protein and an elevation in p53 levels, A. Hirao et al.t Science, 287,1824
(2000). Consequently, negative cell cycle regulators, such as p21Waf1/Cip1,
are activated and halt the cell cycle at the G1/S checkpoint B. Vogelstein et

[0032] The G2/M checkpoint is monitored by the serine/threonine
checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1). Upon DNA damage, the protein kinase ATR
(ataxia-telangiectasia mutated - rad53 related kinase) is activated. H. Zhao et
al., Mo/. Cell Biol., 21,4129 (2001); Q. Liu et al., Genes Dev., 14,1448
(2000). SATR^Iependent phosphorylation of CHK1 promotes its
phosphorylation of Cdc25 and Weef and ultimately inactivation of Cdc2.
Thus, CHK1 phosphorylation of Cdc25c targets it for nuclear export to the
cytoplasm and as a result the Cdc25c phosphatase is rendered unavailable to
activate Cdc2 by dephosphorylation. Y. Sanchez et al., Science, 277,1497
(1997); C. Y. Peng et al., Science, 277,1501 (1997); T. A. Chen et al.,
Natun3,40l, 616 (1999); and A. Lopez-Girona et al., Nature, 397,172 (1999).
In addition, CHK1 activates the protein kinase Wee1, which phosphorylates
and inactivates Cdc2. J. Lee et al. Mol. Biol Cell, 12,551 (2001); L. L
Parker et al., Science, 257,1955 (1992). These dual pathways thus converge
to result in cell cycle arrest. Because cell cycle arrest is a potential

mechanism by which tumor cells can overcome the damage induced by
cytotoxic agents, abrogation of these checkpoints with novel therapeutic
agents should increase the sensitivity of tumors to chemotherapy. The
presence of two checkpoints, coupled with the tumor specific abrogation of
one of these by p53 mutations in 50% of cancers, can be exploited to design
tumor-selective agents. Thus, in p53 minus tumors, therapeutic inhibition of
G2/M arrest leaves cancerous cells no options for DNA damage repair and
results in apoptosis. Normal cells have wild type p53 and ret aln an intact
G1/S checkpoint Thus these cells have an opportunity to connect DNA
damage and survive. One approach to the design of chemosensitizers that
abrogate the G2/M checkpoint is to identify inhibitors of the key G2/M
regulatory kinase, CHK1.

[0033] It has been shown that PAR-1, also known as HDAK, a regulator
of polarity, is a modulator of Wnt-β-catenin signaling, indicating a link
between two important developmental pathways. See Sun, T-Q. et al. Nature
Cell Biology, 3, 628-636 (2001). An important function of β-catenin, namely
its role in cell signaling, has been elucidated in the past few years. p-Catenin
is the vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila segment polarity gene
armadillo, an important element in the Wingless/Wnt (Wg/Wnt) signaling
pathway. Wingless is a cell-cell signal in Drosophila that triggers many key
developmental processes, Wnt being the vertebrate homologue. In the
absence of a mitotic signal from outside the cell β-catenin is sequestered in a
complex with the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene product, a serine

threonine glycogen synthetase kinase (GSK-3β) and an adapter protein axin
(or a homologue conducting enabling phosphorylation and degradation of free
β-catenin by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The function of and
interactions between the proteins in the complex was something of a mystery
until recently. Axin, a recently recognized component of the complex, acts as
a scaffold protein in the multiprotein structure. Formation of an axin
regulatory complex is critical for GSK-3β activity and β-catenin
phosphorylation and degradation, since GSK-3β does not bind directly to β-
catenin but requires the presence of axin, which binds to both proteins. This
complex formation leads to the maintenance of low levels of free cytoplasmic
β-catenin. Residual catenins hold cells together by binding to cadherins, both
at the adherens junctions and the actin cytoskeJeton.
[0034] When a mitotic signal is delivered by the Wnt pathway, by
association of the Wg/Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins and their
membrane receptor frizzled, it leads to activation of the dishevelled (Dsh)
protein, which is recruited to the cell membrane. The activated Dsh
downregulates the protein complex, so that it can no longer phosphorylate β-
catenin, which then is not degraded! How exactly Wnt signaling leads to the
stabilization of β-catenin remains unclear, although the critical step is possibly
the dissociation of GSK-3β from axin with the help of Dsh. With GSK-3β no
longer bound to axin, it cannot phosphorylate β-catenin, leading to an
increase in β-catenin levels. Another proposed model is that inhibition of
GSK-3β activity upon Wnt signaling by Dsh leads to the dephosphorylation of
axin, resulting in a reduced efficiency of binding to β-catenin. The release of
β-catenin from the phosphorylation and degradation complex promotes β-
catenin stabilization and signaling. The resulting increase in free cytosolic β-
catenin then enters the nucleus. This results in an increase of free cystolic β-
catenin which translocates to the nucleus and directly binds the transcription
factors Lef and Tcf, leading to the activation of gene expression. Recently,
the target genes of these transcription factors have been identified. They are

thought to be involved in inhibiting apoptosis and promoting cellular
proliferation and migration, and include the o-myc oncogene and one of the
cell cycle regulators cyclin D1.
[0035] Transformation of adult mammalian cells into malignant tumors
is believed to reflect an exaggeration of the Wg/Wnt pathway, at least in some
tumors. The PAR-1 gene is involved in Wg/Wnt activity levels as well as
production of free β-catenin in the cell. Down regulating of Wg/Wnt has been
shown to limit β-catenin, which is involved in anti-apoptosis signaling. Small
molecule inhibitors capable of inhibiting PAR-1 such as those disclosed
herein, have been shown to be efficacious in cancer cell lines. Screens
monitoring PAR-1 (HDAK) inhibition depict effective reduction of Wnt activity,
with EC50 values below 10 nM in cell-based assays. Therefore, a need
remains for small molecule inhibitors of the PAR-1, capable of inhibiting
Wg/Wnt signaling and β-catenin production in order to reduce growth of tumor
cell lines and tumors via stimulation of cellular apoptosis.

[0134] The phrase "unsubstituted alkyl" refers to alkyl groups that do
not contain heteroatoms. Thus the phrase includes straight chain alkyl groups

such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl,
undecyl, dodecyl and the like. The phrase also includes branched chain
isomers of straight chain alkyl groups, including but not limited to, the
following which are provided by way of example: -CH(CH3)2, -
CH(CH3)CH2CH3), -CH{CH2CH3}2,-C(CH3)3, -C(CH2CH3)3, -CH2CH(CH3)2,-
CH2CH(CH3)(CH2CH3), -CH2CH(CH2CH3)2, -CH2C(CH3)3, -CH2C{CH2CH3)3, -
CM(eH3)CH(CH3)(CH2CH3), -CH2CH2CH(CH3)2, -CH2CH2CH(CH3)(CH2CH3), -
CH2CH2CH(CH2CH3)2, -CH2CH2C(CH3)3, -CH2CH2C(CH2CH3)3> -
CH(CH3)CH2CH(CH3)2l -CH(CH3)CH3)HsJCHCCH^a,
-CH(CH2CH3)CH(CH3)CH(CH3)(CH2CH3), and others. The phrase also
includes cyclic alkyl groups such as cycloalkyl groups such as cydopropy),
cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, and cyclooctyl and such rings
substituted with straight and branched chain alkyl groups as defined above.
The phrase also includes polycyclic alkyl groups such as, but not limited to,
adamantyl norbomyl, and bicyclo[2.2.2]oclyl and such rings substituted with
straight and branched chain alkyl groups as defined above. Thus, the phrase
unsubstituted alkyl groups includes primary alkyl groups, secondary alkyl
groups, and tertiary alkyl groups. Unsubstituted alkyl groups may be bonded
to one or more carbon atom(s), oxygen atom(s), nitrogen atom(s), and/or
sulfur atom(s) in the parent compound. Preferred unsubstituted alkyl groups
include straight and branched chain alkyl groups and cyclic alkyl groups
having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. More preferred such unsubstituted alkyl groups
have from 1 to 10 carbon atoms while even more preferred such groups have
from 1 to 5 carbon atoms. Most preferred unsubstituted alkyl groups include
straight and branched chain alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and
include methyl, ethyl, propyl, and-CH(CH3)2.
(0135] The phrase "substituted alkyl" refers to an unsubstituted alkyl
group as defined above in which one or more bonds to a carbon(s) or
hydrogen(s) are replaced by a bond to non-hydrogen and non-carbon atoms
such as, but not limited to, a halogen atom in halides such as F, Cl, Br, and I;
an oxygen atom in groups such as hydroxyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryloxy

groups, and ester groups; a sulfur atom in groups such as thiol groups, alkyl
and aryl sulfide groups, sulfone groups, sulfonyl groups, and sulfoxide groups;
a nitrogen atom in groups such as amines, amides, alkylamines,
dialkylamines, arylamines, alkylarylamines, diarylamines, N-oxides, imides,
and enamines; a silicon atom in groups such as in trialkylsilyl groups,
dialkylarylsilyl groups, alkyldiarylsilyl groups, and triarylsilyl groups; and other
heteroatoms in various other groups. Substituted alkyl groups also include
groups in which one or more bonds to a carbon(s) or hydrogen(s) atom is
replaced by a bond to a heteroatom such as oxygen in carbonyl, carboxyl,
and ester groups; nitrogen in groups such as imines, oxlmes, hydrazines,
and nitrites. Preferred substituted alkyl groups include, among others, alkyl
groups in which one or more bonds to a carbon or hydrogen atom is/are
replaced by one or more bonds to fluorine atoms. One example of a
substituted alkyl group is the trifluoromethyl group and other alkyl groups that
contain the trifluoromethyl group. Other alkyl groups include those in which
one or more bonds to a carbon or hydrogen atom is replaced by a bond to an
oxygen atom such that the substituted alkyl group contains a hydroxyl, alkoxy,
aryloxy group, or heterocyclyloxy group. Still other alkyl groups include alkyl
groups that have an amine, alkylamine, dialkylamine, arylamine,
(alkyl)(aryl)amine, diarylamine, heterocyclylamine, (alkyl)(heterocyclyl)amine,
(aryl)(heterocyclyl)amine, or diheterocyclylamine group.
[0136] The phrase "unsubstituted aryl" refers to aryl groups that do not
contain heteroatoms. Thus the phrase includes, but is not limited to, groups
such as phenyl, biphenyl, anthracenyl, naphthenyl by way of example.
Although the phrase "unsubstituted aryl" includes groups containing
condensed rings such as naphthalene, it does not include aryl groups that
have other groups such as alkyl or halo groups bonded to one of the ring
members, as aryl groups such as tolyl are considered herein to be substituted
aryl groups as described below. A preferred unsubstituted aryl group is
phenyl. Unsubstituted aryl groups may be bonded to one or more carbon

atom(s), oxygen atom(s), nitrogen atom(s), and/or sulfur atom(s) in the parent
compound, however.
[0137] The phrase "substituted aryl group" has the same meaning with
respect to unsubstituted aryl groups that substituted alkyl groups had with
respect to unsubstituted alkyl groups. However, a substituted aryl group also
includes aryl groups in which one of the aromatic carbons is bonded to one of
the non-carbon or non-hydrogen atoms described above and also includes
aryl groups in which one or more aromatic carbons of the aryl group is bonded
to a substituted and/or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group as defined
herein. This includes bonding arrangements in which two carbon atoms of an
aryl group are bonded to two atoms of an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group to
define a fused ring system (e.g. dihydronaphthyl or tetrahydronaphthyl).
Thus, the phrase "substituted aryl" includes, but is not limited to tolyl, and
hydroxyphenyl among others.
[0138] The phrase "unsubstituted alkenyl" refers to straight and
branched chain and cyclic groups such as those described with respect to
unsubstituted alkyl groups as defined above, except that at least one double
bond exists between two carbon atoms. Examples include, but are not limited
to vinyl, -CH=C(H)(CH3), -CH=C(CH3)2, -C(CH3)=C(H)2, -C(CH3)=C(H)(CH3), -
C(CH2CH3)=CH2, cyclohexenyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexadienyl, butadienyl,
pentadienyl, and hexadienyl among others.
[0139] The phrase "substituted alkenyl has the same meaning with
respect to unsubstituted alkenyl groups that substituted alkyl groups had with
respect to unsubstituted alkyl groups. A substituted alkenyl group includes
alkenyl groups in which a non-carbon or non-hydrogen atom is bonded to a
carbon double bonded to another carbon and those in which one of the non-
carbon or non-hydrogen atoms is bonded to a carbon not involved in a double
bond to another carbon.

[0140] The phrase "unsubstituted alkynyl" refers to straight and
branched chain groups such as those described with respect to unsubstituted
alkyl groups as defined above, except that at least one triple bond exists
between two carbon atoms. Examples include, but are not limited to -
C=C(H), -C=C(CH3), -OC(CH2CH3), -C(H2)C=C(H), -C(H)2C=C(CH3), and -
C(H)2C=(CH2CH3) among others.
[0141] The phrase "substituted alkynyl" has the same meaning with
respect to unsubstituted alkynyl groups that substituted alkyl groups had with
respect to unsubstituted alkyl groups. A substituted alkynyl group includes
alkynyl groups in which a non-carbon or non-hydrogen atom is bonded to a
carbon triple bonded to another carbon and those in which a non-carbon or
non-hydrogen atom is bonded to a carbon not involved in a triple bond to
another carbon.
[0142] The phrase "unsubstituted aralkyl refers to unsubstituted alkyl
groups as defined above in which a hydrogen or carbon bond of the
unsubstituted alkyl group is replaced with a bond to an aryl group as defined
above. For example, methyl (-CH3) is an unsubstituted alkyl group, if a
hydrogen atom of the methyl group is replaced by a bond to a phenyl group,
such as if the carbon of the methyl were bonded to a carbon of benzene, then
the compound is an unsubstituted aralkyl group {i.e., a benzyl group). Thus
the phrase includes, but is not limited to, groups such as benzyl,
diphenylmethyl, and 1-phenylethyl (-CH(C6H5)(CH3)) among others.
[0143] The phrase "substituted aralkyl" has the same meaning with
respect to unsubstituted aralkyl groups that substituted aryl groups had with
respect to unsubstituted aryl groups. However, a substituted aralkyl group
also includes groups in which a carbon or hydrogen bond of the alkyl part of
the group is replaced by a bond to a non-carbon or a non-hydrogen atom.

limited to, N, O, and S. Although the phrase "unsubstituted heterocyclyl"
includes condensed heterocyclic rings such as benzimidazolyl, it does not
include heterocyclyl groups that have other groups such as alkyl or halo
groups bonded to one of the ring members as compounds such as 2-

[0459] In groups including heterocyclyl groups, the heterocyclyl group
may be attached in various ways. For example, in a heterocycylakoxy group,
the heterocyclyl group may be bonded to a methylene carbon of the alkoxy
group of the heterocyclylalkoxy group through various ring members. By way

of non-limiting example, where the heterocyclyl group of the
heterocyclylalkoxy group is tetrahydrofuran, the group could be represented
by the formula -OCH2CH2(tetrahydrofuranyl) which corresponds to the
following two structures:

where Structure il represents the group that can be referred to as the
-OCH2CH2(2-tetrahydrofuranyl) or ^CH2CH2(tetrahydrofuran-2-yl) group and
Structure III represents the group that can be referred to as the -OCH2CH2(3-
tetrahydrofuranyl) or -OCH2CH2(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)group. When the
heterocyclyl group is a N-containing heterocycle, such as, but not limited to
piperidine, piperazine, morpholine, or pylrolidine, the heterocycle can be
bonded to the methylene carbon through a ring carbon atom or through a
nitrogen atom in the ring of the N-containing heterocycle. Both of these are
preferred. Where the heterocyclyl group is a piperidine for a
-OCH2CH2CH2(heterocyclyl) group, the following structures are possible and
preferred:


[0460] Structure IV is an example of a -0(eH^3(M-piperidinyl) or
-0(CH2)3(1 -piperidinyl) or -0(CH^3(piperldiri-1-yl) group. Structure V is an
example of a -0(CH2)3-(2-piperidinyl) or -0(CH2)3(piperidin-2-yl) group.
Structure VI is an example of a 3-yl) group. Structure VII is an example of a -0(CH2)3(4-pipendinyl) or
-O(CH2)3(piperidin-4-yl] group. Where the heterocyclyl g roup is a piperazine
for an -OCH2CH2(heterocyclyl) group, the following structures are possible
and preferred:

10461] Structure VIH is an example of a-0{CH2)2(2-piperazinyl) or
-0(CH2)2(piperazin-2-yl) group, and Structure IX is an example of a
-0(CH2)2(1-piperazinyl) or-0(CH2)2(N-pipera^nyl) or-0( CH2)2(pipferazin-1-yl)
group. Where the heterocyclyl group is a morpholine for a
-OCH2CH2(heterocycIyl) group, the following structures are possible and
preferred:

[0462] Structure X is an example of a -0(CH2)2(3-morpholinyl) or
-0(CH2)2(morpholin-3-yl) group, Structure XI is an example of a -0(CH2)2(4-

morpholinyl) or -0(CH2)2(N-morphoIinyl) or -0(CH2)2(morpholin-4-yl)group,
and Structure XII Is an example of a ^(CH2)2(2-morpholinyl) or
-0(GH2)2(rnorpholln-2-yl) group. It will be observed that where the
heterocyclyl group is a pylrolidine in a ^CH2CH2(heterocyclyl) group, the
structures available include ~0(CH2)2(1ijynro'dinyl) or -0(CH2MN-
pylrolidinyl) or -0(CH2)2(pylroIidin-1-yl), -0(CH2)2(2-pylrolidinyl) or
-0(CH2)2(pylrolidin-2-yl), and -0(CH2)2(3-pylrolidinyl) or -0(CH2)2(pylrolidin-

[04631 Compounds of Structure I and IB may be synthesized from
simple starting molecules as shown in Schemes 1-6 and the Examples. As
shown in Scheme 1, hydroxy derivatives of compounds of Structure I may
generally be prepared using aromatic compounds substituted with amines and
carboxylic acid groups. These compounds may then be converted to
compounds of Structure I using the methods described in Schemes 3 and 5
and the Examples. Hydroxy derivatives of heterocyclic analogs of Structure I
such as compounds of Structure IB may be similarly prepared using the
appropriate heteroaromatic analogs of the compounds as shown in Scheme
2. These may then be converted to heterocyclic analogs of Structure I such
as compounds of Structure IB using the methods described in Schemes 4 and
5.


[0464] As shown in Scheme 1, a substituted aromatic compound such
as a substituted or unsubstituted 2-aminobenzolc acid may be reacted with an
acyl halide such as methyl 2-(chlorocarbonyl)acetate to produce an amide
that will react with a substituted or unsubstituted 1,2-diaminobenzene. The
resulting product is a 4-hydroxy-substituted analog of a compound of
Structure I.

[0465] As shown in Scheme 2, a substituted pylidine such as a
substituted or unsubstituted 3-amino-pylidine-4-carboxyKc acid may be
reacted with an acyl halide such as methyl 2-(chlorocarbonyl)acetate to
produce an amide that will react with a substituted or unsubstituted 1,2-
diaminobenzene or a pylidine analog. The resulting produ ct is a 4-hydroxy-
substituted heterocyclic analog of a compound of Structure I or IB. The use of
starting pylidines with different substitution patterns such as 2-aminonicotinic
acid (2-aminopylidine-4-carboxylic acid) provides compounds where me
nitrogen is in a different position in the pylidine ring of the final compound.
One skilled in the art will recognize that the procedure set forth in Scheme 2
may be modified to produce various 4-hydroxy heterocyclic analogs of
compounds of Structure I and IB.
[0466] Scheme 3 illustrates a general synthetic route that allows for the
synthesis of various compounds of Structure I. An inspection of Scheme 3

shows that 4-hydroxy substituted analogs of compounds of Structure 1 may be
converted into the 4-chloro derivative by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride
or thionyl chloride. The 4-chloro derivative may then be reacted with an
appropriate amine such as an alkylamine, a dialkylamine, a
heterocyclylamine, a cycioalkylamine, an aromatic amine, and the like to
produce the corresponding protected compound of Structure I. Deprotection
affords the final desired compounds of Structure I.
[0467] The various 2-aminobenzolc acid starting materials used to
synthesize isatoic anhydrides may be obtained from commercial sources or
prepared by methods known to one of skill in the art General isatoic
anhydride synthesis methods are described in J. Med. Chem. 1981,24 (6),
735 and J. Heterocycl. Chem. 1975,12(3), 565 which are both hereby
incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes as if fully set forth .
herein.


[0468] Scheme 4 illustrates a general synthetic route that allows for the
synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds of Structure IB. An inspection of
Scheme 4 shows that 4-hydroxy substituted analogs of Structure IB may be
converted into the 4-chloro derivative by reaction with phosphorous
oxychtoride or thionyl chloride. The 4-chloro derivative may then be reacted
with an appropriate amine such as an alkylamine, a dialkylamine, a
heterocyclylamine, a cycloalkylamine, an aromatic amine, and the like to
produce the corresponding protected compounds of Structure IB.
Deprotection affords the final desired heterocyclic analogs of compounds of
Structure I.

[0469] Scheme 5 depicts a general synthetic route that allows for the
synthesis of various compounds of Structure l, An inspection of Scheme 5
shows that the hydroxy group of 4-hydroxy substituted analogs of compounds
of Structure I may be converted to a leaving group by triflation with triflating
agents such as triflic anhydride. The resulting inflates may then be reacted

with a wide variety of nitrogen nucleophiles such as 3-aminoquinuclidine and
other amines to produce protected analogs of compound of Structure I.
Deprotection of the resulting products affords the desired compounds of
Structure I. An analogous procedure may be used to prepare heterocyclic
compounds of Structure I.

[0470] Heteroaromatic diamines may be simply prepared and used as
precursors of compounds of Structure I and IB and heterocyclic analogs of
compounds of Structure I and IB where one or more of A, B, C, or D is a
nitrogen as shown in Scheme 6.


[0471] As shown in Scheme 6, a compound such as ethyl cyanpacetate
may be condensed with a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycle containing
two ortho amino groups such as substituted or unsubstituted 1,2r
diaminopylidine to obtain a substituted or unsubstituted 2-imidazok>[5,4-
b]pylidin-2-ytethanenitrile, which may subsequently be hydrolyzed in acidic
medium to provide a substituted or unsubstituted ethyl 2-imidazolo[5,4-
b]pylidin-2-ylacetate. As an alternate route, a substituted or unsubstituted
ethyl 2-imidazolo[5,4-b]pylidin-2-ylacetate may be obtained from a compound
such as the hydrochloride salt of &-ethoxy-3-iminopropanoate and a
substituted or unsubstituted 1,2-diaminopylidine. Reaction of a substituted or
unsubstituted ethyl 2-imidazolo[5,4-bJpylidin-2-ylacetates with an appropriate
aromatic compound provides compounds of Structure I and heterocyclic
analogs of compounds of Structure I where one or more of A, B, C, or D is a
nitrogen atom.

[0472] Introduction of substituents on the benzimidazole ring need not
be limited to the early stages of the synthesis and may be accomplished after
formation of the quinolinone ring. For example, amides can be obtained by
coupling the advanced acid intermediate shown in Scheme 7 with a variety of
amine.

embodiments of compounds of Structure I or IB, or a pharmaceuticaHy
acceptable salt thereof, to the patient.
[0506] The invention provides a method of promoting phosphorylation
of Cdc25 and Wee1 in a patient. The method includes administering to the
patient, such as a human patient, a compound according to any of the

embodiments of compounds of Structure! or IB, or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, to the patient.
[0507] The invention provides a method of modulating and/or
preventing cell cycle arrest in a cell. The method includes contacting the cell
with a compound according to any of the embodiments of compounds of
Structure I or IB, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In one
method, the cells are defective in the p53 gene and/or have p53 mutations
and/or are deficient in p53. In some embodiments, the cells are cancer cells
such as those deficient in p53. In some embodiments, arrest at the G2/M
checkpoint is prevented or inhibited. In some embodiments, the method
includes treating a patient, such as a human patient with any of the
compounds of the invention, and in some such further embodiments, the
method further includes treating the patient with another therapeutic agent
such as a chemotherapeutic agent or with radiation or heat
[0508] A method of preparing pharmaceutical formulations and
medicaments includes mixing any of the above-described compounds with a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0509] As noted above, compounds of Structure I and IB, tautomers of
compounds of Structure I and IB, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the
compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the tautomers, and mixtures
thereof are useful inhibitors of GHK1. One of the advantages of many of
these compounds is that they exhibit selectivity for CHK1 over other enzymes
such as CHK2 and FLT-1, VEGFR2, and FGFR1. In some embodiments the
IC50 values with respect to CHK1 show that the inhibitors of the invention are
1,000 times, 100 times, or 10 times more selective towards CHK1 compared
to CHK2. CHK1 inhibitors of the invention may be administered to cancer
patients alone or in combination with other anti-cancer drugs or therapies.
The present CHK1 inhibitors are particularly useful against p53 cancers. In
some embodiments, the cancers that the CHK1 inhibitors of the invention are

useful in treating include breast cancer, particularly human breast cancer, and
colon cancer.
[0510] The CHK1 inhibitors of the present invention are particularly
suitable for use in combination therapy as they have been shown to exhibit
synergistic effect when used in combination with anti-cancer drugs such as
camptothecin, doxorubicin, cisplatin, Irinotecan (CPT-11), alkylating agents,
topoisofrterase I and II inhibitors, and radiation treatment When an inhibitor
of CHK1 of the present invention is used in combination therapy along witfTari
anti-cancer drug such as camptothecin, cisplatin, irinotecan, or doxorubicin,
isobolograms show that the amount of the anti-cancer drug may be reduced
due to the synergistic interaction (supraadditivity) between the CHK1 inhibitor
and the conventional anti-cancer drug. Therefore, the invention provides
pharmaceutical formulations that include the compounds of Structure I and IB
in combination with an anticancer drug, the use of the compounds in creating
such formulations and medicaments.
[0511] The compounds of the invention may be used to inhibit kinases
and used to treat biological conditions mediated by kinases in a variety of
subjects. Suitable subjects include animals such as mammals and humans.
Suitable mammals include, but are not limited to, primates such as, but not
limited to lemurs, apes, and monkeys; rodents such as rats, mice, and guinea
pigs; rabbits and hares; cows; horses; pigs; goats; sheep; marsupials; and
carnivores such as felines, canines, and ursines. In some embodiments, the
subject or patient is a human. In other embodiments, the subject or patient is
a rodent such as a mouse or a rat In some embodiments, the subject or
patient is an animal other than a human and in some such embodiments, the
subject or patient is a mammal other than a human.
[0512] It should be understood that the organic compounds according
to the invention may exhibit the phenomenon of tautomerism. As the
chemical structures within this specification can only represent one of the
possible tautomeric forms, it should be understood that the invention
i

encompasses any tautomeric fomi of the drawn structure. For example,
Structure I is shown below with one tautomer, Tautomer la:

Other tautomers of Structurerl, Tautomer lb and Tautomer Ic, are shown
below:

Notably, the same types of tautomers occur with respect to compounds of
Structure IB.

Method 22:
[0549] A 7-Fluoroquinolinbne derivative in a 8 M solution of MeNhfe in
EtOH: NMP (1:1), was submitted to microwave irradiation 4 times for 5
minutes at 220°C. After cooling, water was added, and the mixture was
extracted with EtOAc. The organic extracts were collected and dried over
NazSO/t. Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification
of the residue by reverse phase preparative HPLC afforded the desired
product Other primary and secondary amines were used neat, 1:1 with NMP.

[0550] Conversion of the C-6 or C-7 halides to an aryl group was
accomplished using standard Suzuki or Stille procedures such as described
below.
[0551] Suzuki Method: To a 1 dram (4 mL) vial was added sequentially
thequinolone (1 equivalent), boronicacid (1.2-1.5 equivalents), Pd(dppf)CI2,
CI2CH2 (0.2 equivalents), DMF (0.5 -1 mL), and TEA (4 equivalents). The

reaction was flushed with argon, capped, and heated at 85°C for 12 hours.
Once complete, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, and filtered
with a sylinge filter disk. The clear solution was then neutralized with TFA (a
couple of drops) and injected directly onto a preparative HPLC. The products
were lyophilized to dryness.
[0552] Stille Method: to a 1 dram (4 mL) vial was added sequentially
the quinolone (1 equivalent), tin reagent (1.8 equivalent), Pd(dppf)CI2/. CI2CH2
(0.2 equivalents), and DMF (0.5 -1 mL). The reaction was flushed with
argon, capped, and heated at 6O-85°C for 4 hours. Once complete, the
reaction was cooled to room temperature, and filtered with a sylinge filter disk.
The clear solution was then neutralized with TFA (a couple of drops) and
injected directly onto a preparative HPLC. The products were lyophilized to
dryness.

[0553] A dihaloquinolone such as a difluoroquinolone (12-15 mg) was
placed in a 1 dram (2 mL) vial. NMP (dry and pre-purged with argon for 5
minutes) was added to the vial (0.5 mL). A selected amine reagent (4O-50
mg) was added next. If the amine was an HCI salt, the reaction was
neutralized with TEA (-1.2-1.5 equivalents). The reaction was purged again
with argon for about 5 seconds, and immediately capped. The reaction was
typically heated in a heating block at 9O-95°C for 18 hours. The reaction was
followed by HPLC or LCMS. After taking samples for HPLC, the vial was
purged with argon again and capped. Some coupling partners took 24 or 48
hours to reach completion. Less nucleophilic amines like pylrole required the

addition of a strong base to reach completion, in these cases, cesium
carbonate (2 equivalents based on the amine used) was added to the
reaction. Once complete, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, and
filtered with a sylinge filter disk. The clear solution was then neutralized with
TFA (a couple of drops) and injected directly onto a preparative HPLC. The
products were lyophilized to dryness.

The reaction was left at 80°C under nitrogen for one additional day. The
palladium was then filtered off through a pad of Celite, and the resulting EtOH
mixture was evaporated in vacuo. "The product was then taken up in a
generous amount of CH2CI2, made basic, filtered over a pad of sodium
sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel chromatography
(10%MeOH:CH2CI2) gave compound IV, which was coupled with 2-amino-6-

dispersion tube. 4-Brqmopylidine hydrochloride (1 equivalent) and N-[4-
(4,4,5,5-tetramethyM ,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]acetamide (1.2
equivalents) were subsequently added, followed by Pd(dppf)2Cl2 (2.5 mol %).
The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight, cooled to room temperature and
diluted with EtOAc. The two phases were separated and the organic phase
was washed with a 2 N Na2CO3 solution, brine, and dried (NazSCU).
Evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure and purification by silica
gel chromatography afforded the desired product as a white solid. MH+ =
213.1.

Step 2: N-[4-(1-methyl-4-piperidyl)phenyl]acetamide
[0763] N-(4-(4-pylidyl)phenyl)acetamicIe (1.0 equivalent) was dissolved
in DMF and dimethyl sulfate (1.5 equivalent) "was added dropwise. After an
initial induction period a solid crashed out. The reaction mixture was stirred
for 6 hour at room temperature and then pou red into diethyl ether. After a
sticky solid crashed out, the ether was decani ted and the residue was
triturated with EtOH, filtered, and washed with EtOH to give a light yellow
solid. The pylidinium salt thus obtained (MHH- = 227.3) was suspended in
EtOH and Pt02 (5 mol%) was added, and the mixture was hydrogenated at
atmospheric pressure for 3 days. After the catalyst was filtered off over a pad
of Cefite, the filter cake was washed repeatedly with water and the resulting
EtOH/water mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The solution
was made basic with 30% NaOH and extracted with CH2CI2. The organic
extracts were collected and dried (Na2SG4). Evaporation of the solvent under
reduced pressure afforded the desired produ ct as a white solid. MH+ = 233.1.
Step 3: N-[4-(1-methyl(4-piperidyl))-2-nitro»phenyl]acetamide
[0764] A round bottom flask was charged with acetic anhydride and
acetic acid, and the mixture was cooled down to -10°C with and ice/ salt bath.
HNO3 (2 equivalents) was added, followed by 2 drops of H2SO4. N-[4-(1-
Methyl-4-piperidyl)phenyl]acetamide (1 equivalent) in acetic acid (in such an
amount as to obtain a final 1:1 ratio between Ac02 and AcOH) was added
dropwise to the cold solution. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to
room temperature and stirred for 6 hours. The reaction was then poured into
diethyl ether. A sticky solid crashed out, the ether was decanted, and the
residue was dissolved in water. The water solution was made basic with 30%
NaOH and an orange solid precipitated. The solid was filtered off and dried to
afford the desired product. MH+ = 278.3.
Step 4:4-(1 -methylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-nitroa niline
[0765] N-[4-(1-methyl(4-piperidyl))-2-nitrophenyl]acetemide (1
equivalent) was dissolved in methanol and 30% KOH (2.5 equivalents) was
added dropwise with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred at

room temperature for 3 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure.
The residue was dissolved in CH2CI2 and washed with water (2x) and brine
(1x). The organic solution was dried (Na2S04) and evaporated to obtain the
desired product as an orange brown solid. MH+ = 236.2.
Example 104: General synthesis of 5-aminopropyl benzimidazoles

[0766] Propargyl amines may be obtained commercially or generally
prepared as shown (see Banholzer, R. et al. U.S. Patent No. 4,699,910 which
is herein incorporated in its entirety and for all purposes as is fully set forth
herein). A mixture of propargyl bromide (70% in toluene, 1.1 equivalents), the
amine 1 (1 equivalents), Na2CO3 (2.5 equivalents) in acetonitrile, (about 0.2
M) was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room
temperature and the solid was filtered off. The solution was evaporated under
reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc (or CH2CI2) and
washed with water. The organic solution was dried (Na2S04). The solvent
was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the desired propargyl amine
II as a brown oil which was used in the next step without further purification.

[0767] Aryl alkynes may be made by following a modified procedure
(Jon L Wright et al. J. Med. Chem. 2000,43,3408-3419 which Is hereby
incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes as if fully set forth
herein). A round bottom flask was charged with THF and the solvent was
sparged with nitrogen for 10 minutes using a dispersion tube. The
propargylamine II (1 equivalent), pylrolidine (2 equivalents) and 2-n'rtro-4-
bromoaniline III (1 equivalent) were added, while still bubbling nitrogen
through the solution. Pd[P(Ph)3]4 (2.5 mol%) was added last, and the
sparging was then discontinued. The flask was equipped with a reflux
condenser, and the reaction mixture was refluxed overnight under nitrogen
and then cooled down room temperature. The THF was evaporated and the
desired product IV was obtained by silica gel chromatography of the crude
mixture (usually EtOAc/hexane 1:1).
[0768] Exposure of IV to catalytic hydrogenation conditions typically
gave the fully reduced alkane, which was then converted to ester V as
described in Example 49.

A. Synthesis of 5-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniline
Procedure A

[0772] 5-Chloro-2-nitroaniline (500 g, 2.898 mol) and 1-methyl
piperazine (871 g, 8.693 mol) were placed in a 2000 mL flask fitted with a
condenser and purged with N2. The flask was placed in an oil bath at 100°C
and heated until the 5-chloro-2-n'rtroaniline was completely reacted (typically
overnight) as determined by HPLC. After HPLC confirmed the disappearance
of the 5-chIoro-2-n"rtroaniline, the reaction mixture was poured directly (still
warm) into 2500 mL of room temperature water with mechanical stirring. The
resulting mixture was stirred until it readied room temperature and then it was
filtered. The yellow solid thus obtained was added to 1000 mL of water and
stirred for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the resulting
solid was washed with TBME (500 mL, 2X) and then was dried under vacuum
for one hour using a rubber dam. The resulting solid was transferred to a
drylng tray and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C to a constant weight to yleld
670 g (97.8%) of the title compound as a ye llow powder.
Procedure B
[0773] 5-Chloror2-nitroaniline (308.2 g, 1.79 mol) was added to a 4-
neck 5000 mL round bottom flask fitted with an overhead stirrer, condenser,
gas inlet, addition funnel, and thermometer probe. The flask was tiien purged
with N2. 1-Methylpiperazine (758.1 g, 840 mL, 7.57 mol) and 200 proof
ethanol (508 mL) were added to the reaction flask with stirring. The flask was
again purged with N2, and the reaction was maintained under N2. The flask
was heated in a heating mantle to an internal temperature of 97°C (+/- 5°C)
and maintained at that temperature until the reaction was complete (typically
about 40 hours) as determined by HPLC. After the reaction was complete,

heating was discontinued and the reaction was cooled to an internal
temperature of about 20°C to 25°C with stirring, and the reaction was stirred
for 2 to 3 hours. Seed crystals (0.20 g, 0.85 mmol) of 5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-
yl)-2-nitroaniline were added to the reaction mixture unless precipitation had
already occurred. Water (2,450 mL) was added to the stirred reaction mixture
over a period of about one hour while the internal temperature was
maintained at a temperature ranging from about 20°C to 30°C. After the
addition of water was complete, the resulting mixture was stirred for about one
hour at a temperature of 20°C to 30°C. The resulting mixture was then
filtered, and the flask and filter cake were washed with water (3 x 2.56 L). The
golden yellow solid product was dried to a constant weight of 416 g (98.6%
yleld) under vacuum at about 50°C in a vacuum oven.
Procedure C
[0774] 5-Chloro-2-nitroaniline (401 g, 2.32 mol) was added to a 4-neck
12 L round bottom flask fitted with an overhead stirrer, condenser, gas inlet,
addition funnel, and thermometer probe. The flask was then purged with N2.
1 -Methylpiperazine (977 g, 1.08 L, 9.75 mol) and 100% ethanol (650 mL)
were added to the reaction flask with stirring. The flask was again purged
with N2, and the reaction was maintained under N2. The flask was heated in a
heating mantle to an internal temperature of 97°C (+/- 5°C) and maintained at
that temperature until the reaction was complete (typically about 40 hours) as
determined by HPLC. After the reaction was complete, heating was
discontinued and the reaction was cooled to an internal temperature of about
80°C with stirring, and water (3.15 L) was added to the mixture via an addition
funnel over the period of 1 hour while the internal temperature was maintained
at 82°C (+/- 3°C). After water addition was complete, heating was
discontinued and the reaction mixture was allowed to cool over a period of no
less than 4 hours to an internal temperature of 2O-25°C. The reaction mixture
was then stirred for an additional hour at an internal temperature of 2O-30°C.
The resulting mixture was then filtered* and the flask and filter cake were
washed with water (1 x 1 L), 50% ethanol (1 x 1L), and 95% ethanol (1 x 1L).

The golden yellow solid product was placed in a drylng pan and dried to a
constant weight of 546 g (99% yleld) under vacuum at about 50°C in a
vacuum oven.
B. Synthesis of [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-
acetic acid ethyl ester
Procedure A

[0775] A 5000 mL, 4-neck flask was fitted with a stirrer, thermometer,
condenser, and gas inlet/outlet. The equipped flask was charged with 265.7 g
(1.12 rnol. 1.0 eq) of 5-(4-me%^piperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniline and 2125 mL of
200 proof EtOH. The resulting solution was purged with N2 for 15 minutes.
Next, 20.0 g of 5% Pd/C (50% H20 w/w) was added. The reaction was
vigorously stirred at 4O-50°C (internal temperature) while H2 was bubbled
through the mixture. The reaction was monitored hourly for the
disappearance of 5-(4-methyli3iperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniline by HPLC. The
typical reaction time was 6 hours.
[0776] After all the 5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniline had
disappeared from the reaction, the solution was purged with N2 for 15
minutes. Next, 440.0 g (2.25 mol) of ethyl 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropanoate
hydrochloride was added as a solid. The reaction was stirred at 4O-50°C
(internal temperature) until the reaction was complete. The reaction was

monitored by following the disappearance of the diamino compound by HPLC.
The typical reaction time was 1-2 hours. After the reaction was complete, it
was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a pad of Celite filtering
material. The Celite filtering material was washed with absolute EtOH (2 x
250 mL), and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure providing
a thick brown/orange oil. The resulting oil was taken up in 850 mL of a 0.37%
HCI solution. Solid NaOH (25 g) was then added in one portion, and a
precipitate formed. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1 hour and then
filtered. The solid was washed with H20 (2 x 400 mL) and dried at 50°C in a
vacuum oven providing 251.7 g (74.1%) of [6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzolmidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester as a pale yellow powder.
Procedure B
[0777] A 5000 mL, 4-neck jacketed flask was fitted with a mechanical
stirrer, condenser, temperature probe, gas inlet, and oil bubbler. The
equipped flask was charged with 300 g (1.27 mol) of 5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-
yl)-2-nitroaniline and 2400 mL of 200 proof EtOH (the reaction may be and
has been conducted with 95% ethanol and it is not necessary to use 200
proof ethanoi for this reaction). The resulting solution was stirred and purged
with N2 for 15 minutes; Next, 22.7 g of 5% Pd/C (50% H20 w/w) was added
to the reaction flask. The reaction vessel was purged with N2 for 15.minutes.
After purging with N2, the reaction vessel was purged with H2 by maintaining a
slow, but constant flow of H2 through the flask. The reaction was stirred at
45-55°C (internal temperature) while H2 was bubbled through the mixture until
the 5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniline was completely consumed as
determined by HPLC. The typical reaction time was 6 hours.
[0778] After all the 5-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-2-nitroaniIine had
disappeared from the reaction, the solution was purged with N2 for 15
minutes. The diamine intermediate is air sensitive so care was taken to avoid
exposure to air. 500 g (2.56 mol) of ethyl 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropanoate
hydrochloride was added to the reaction mixture over a period of about 30
minutes. The reaction was stirred at 45-55°C (internal temperature) under N2

until the diamine was completely consumed as determined by HPLC. The
typical reaction time was about 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, the
reaction was filtered while warm through a pad of Celite. The reaction flask
and Celite were then washed with 200 proof EtOH (3 x 285 mL). The filtrates
were combined in a 5000 mL flask, and about 3300 mL of ethanol was
removed under vacuum producing an orange oil. Water (530 mL) and then
1M HCL (350 mL) were added to the resulting oil, and the resulting mixture
was stirred. The resulting solution was vigorously stirred while 30% NaOH
(200 mL) was added over a period of about 20 minutes maintaining the
internal temperature at about 25-30°C while the pH was brought to between 9
and 10. The resulting suspension was stirred for about 4 hours while
maintaining the internal temperature at about 2O-25°C. The resulting mixture
was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with H20 (3 x 300 mL). The
collected solid was dried to a constant weight at 50°C under vacuum in a
vacuum oven providing 345.9 g (90.1%) of [6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzolmidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester as a pale yellow powder. In an
alternative work up procedure, the filtrates were combined and the ethanol
was removed under vacuum until at least about 90% had been removed.
Water at a neutral pH was then added to the resulting oil, and the solution
was cooled to about 0°C. An aqueous 20% NaOH solution was then added
slowly with rapid stirring to bring the pH up to 9.2 (read with pH meter). The
resulting mixture was then filtered and dried as described above. The
alternative work up procedure provided the light tan to light yellow product in
ylelds as high as 97%.
Method for Reducing Water Content of [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzolmidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid ethyl ester
[0779] [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-:acetJcacid
ethyl ester (120.7 grams) that had been previously worked up and dried to a
water content of about 8-9% H2O was placed in a 2000 mL round bottom flask
and dissolved in absolute ethanol (500 mL). The amber solution was
concentrated to a thick oil using a rotary evaporator with heating until all

solvent was removed. The procedure was repeated two more times. The
thick oil thus obtained was left in the flask and placed in a vacuum oven
heated at 50°C overnight. Karl Fisher analysis results indicated a water
content of 5.25%. The lowered water content obtained by this method
provided increased ylelds in the procedure of the following Example. Other
solvents such as toluene and THF may be used in place of the ethanol for this
drylng process.
C. Synthesis of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-{4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
Procedure A

[0780] [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H4>enzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid
ethyl ester (250 g, 820 mmol) (dried with ethanol as described above) was
dissolved in THF (3800 mL) in a 5000 mL flask fitted with a condenser,
mechanical stirrer, temperature probe, and purged with argon. 2-Amino-6-
fluoro-benzonitrile (95.3 g, 700 mmol) was added to the solution, and the
internal temperature was raised to 40°G. When air the solids had dissolved
and the solution temperature had reached 40°C, solid KHMDS (376.2 g, 1890
mmol) was added over a period of 5 minutes. When addition of the potassium
base was complete, a heterogeneous yellow solution was obtained, and the
internal temperature had risen to 62CC. After a period of 60 minutes, the
internal temperature decreased back to 40°C, and the reaction was
determined to be complete by HPLC (no starting material or uncyclized
intermediate was present). The thick reaction mixture was then quenched by
pouring it into H2O (6000 mL) and stirring the resulting mixture until it had
reached room temperature. The mixture was then filtered, and the filter pad
was washed with water (1000 mL 2X). The bright yellow solid was placed in a
drylng tray and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C overnight providing 155.3 g

(47.9%) of the desired 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazoI-2-yl]-1H-quinoIin-2-one.
Procedure B
[0781] A 5000 mL 4-neck jacketed flask was equipped with a distillation
apparatus, a temperature probe, a N2 gas inlet, an addition funnel, and a
mechanical stirrer. [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic
acid ethyl ester (173.0 g, 570 mmol) was charged into the reactor, and the
reactor was purged with N2 for 15 minutes. Dry THF (2600 mL) was then
charged into the flask with stirring. After all the solid had dissolved, solvent
was removed by distillation (vacuum or atmospheric (the higher temperature
helps to remove the water) using heat as necessary. After 1000 mL of solvent
had been removed, distillation was stopped and the reaction was purged with
N2. 1000 mL of dry THF was then added to the reaction vessel, and when all
solid was dissolved, distillation (vacuum or atmospheric) was again conducted
untij another 1000 mL of solvent had been removed. This process of adding
dry THF and solvent removal was repeated at least 4 times (on the 4th
distillation, 60% of the solvent is removed instead of just 40% as in the first 3
distillations) after which a 1 mL sample was removed for Karl Fischer analysis
to determine water content. If the analysis showed that the sample contained
less than 0.20% water, then reaction was continued as described in the next
paragraph. However, if the analysis showed more than 0.20% water, then the
drylng process described above was continued until a water content of less
than 0.20% was achieved.
[0782] After a water content of less than or about 0.20% was achieved
using the procedure described in the previous paragraph, the distillation.
apparatus was replaced with a reflux condenser, and the reaction was
charged with 2-amino-6-fluoro-benzonitrile (66.2 g, 470 mmol) (in some
procedures 0.95 equivalents is used). The reaction was then heated to an
internal temperature of 38-42°C. When the internal temperature had reached
38-42°C, KHMDS solution (1313 g, 1.32 mol, 20% KHMDS in THF) was
added to the reaction via the additional funnel over a period of 5 minutes

maintaining the internal temperature at about 38-50°C during the addition.
When addition of the potassium base was complete, the reaction was stirred
for 3.5 to 4.5 hours (in some examples it was stirred for 30 to 60 minutes and
the reaction may be complete within that time) while maintaining the internal
temperature at from 38-42°C. A sample of the reaction was then removed
and analyzed by HPLC. If the reaction was not complete, additional KHMDS
solution was added to the flask over a period of 5 minutes and the reaction
was stirred at 38-42°C for 45-60 minutes (the amount of KHMDS solution
added was determined by the following: If the IPC ratio is mL was added; if 10.0 2: IPC ratio s 3.50, then 56 mL was added; if 20.0 S: IPC
ratio 2:10, then 30 mL was added. The IPC ratio is equal to the area
corresponding to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one) divided by the area corresponding to
the uncyclized intermediate). Once the reaction was complete (IPC ratio >
20), the reactor was cooled to an internal temperature of 25-30°C, and water
(350 mL) was charged into the reactor over a period of 15 minutes while
maintaining the internal temperature at 25-35°C (in one alternative, the
reaction is conducted at 40°C and water is added within 5 minutes. The
quicker quench reduces the amount of impurity that forms over time). The
reflux condenser was then replaced with a distillation apparatus and solvent
was removed by distillation (vacuum or atmospheric) using heat as required.
After 1500 mL of solvent had been removed, distillation was discontinued and
the reaction was purged with N* Water (1660 mL) was then added to the
reaction flask while maintaining the internal temperature at 2O-30°C. The
reaction mixture was then stirred at 2O-30°C for 30 minutes before cooling it to
an internal temperature of 5-10°C and then stirring for 1 hour. The resulting
suspension was filtered, and the flask and filter cake were washed with water
(3 x 650 mL). The solid thus obtained was dried to a constant weight under
vacuum at 50°C in a vacuum oven to provide 103.9 g (42.6% yleld) of 4-
amino-5-fIuoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-
quinolin-2-one as a yellow powder.


[0783] [6-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-acetic acid
ethyl ester (608 g, 2.01 mol) (dried) and 2-amino-6-fluoro-benzonitrile (274 g,
2.01 moO were charged into a 4-neck 12 L flask seated on a heating mantle
and fitted with a condenser, mechanical stirrer, gas inlet, and temperature
probe. The reaction vessel was purged with Ns, and toluene (7.7 ,L) was
charged into the reaction mixture while it was stirred. The reaction vessel was
again purged with N2 and maintained under N2. The internal temperature of
the mixture was raised until a temperature of 63°C (+/- 3°C) was achieved.
The internal temperature of the mixture was maintained at 63°C (+/- 3°C)
while approximately 2.6 L of toluene was distilled from the flask under
reduced pressure (380 +/-10 torr, distilling head t = 40°C (+/- 10°C) (Karl
Fischer analysis was used to check the water content in the mixture. If the
water content was greater than 0.03%, then another 2.6 L of toluene was
added and distillation was repeated. This process was repeated until a water
content of less than 0.03% was achieved). After a water content of less than
0.03% was reached, heating was discontinued, and the reaction was cooled
under N2 to an internal temperature of 17-19°C. Potassium t-butoxide in THF
(20% in THF; 3.39 kg, 6.04 moles potassium t-butoxide) was then added to
the reaction under N2 at a rate such that the internal temperature of the
reaction was kept below 20°C. After addition of the potassium t-butoxide was
complete, the reaction was stirred at an internal temperature of less than 20°C
for 30 minutes. The temperature was then raised to 25°C, and the reaction
was stirred for at least 1 hour. The temperature was then raised to 30°C, and
the reaction was stirred for at least 30 minutes. The reaction was then
monitored for completion using HPLC to check for consumption of the starting
materials (typically in 2-3 hours, both starting materials were consumed (less

than 0.5% by area % HPLC)). If the reaction was not complete after 2 hours,
another 0.05 equivalents of potassium t-butbxide was added at a time, and
the process was completed until HPLC showed that the reaction was
complete. After the reaction was complete, 650 ml_ of water was added to the
stirred reaction mixture. The reaction was then warmed to an internal
temperature of 50°C and the THF was distilled away (about 3 L by volume)
under reduced pressure from the reaction mixture. Water (2.6 L) was then
added dropwise to the reaction mixture using an addition funnel. The mixture
was then cooled to room temperature and stirred for at least 1 hour. The
mixture was then filtered, and the filter cake was washed with water (1.2 L),
with 70% ethanol (1.2 L), and with 95% ethanol (1.2 L). The bright yellow
solid was placed in a drylng tray and dried in a vacuum oven at 50°C until a
constant weight was obtained providing 674 g (85.4%) of the desired 4-amino-
5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-
one.
Purification of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1 -ylH H-
benzirnidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
[0784] A 3000 mL 4-neck flask equipped with a condenser,
temperature probe, N2 gas inlet and mechanical stirrer was placed in a
heating mantle. The flask was then charged with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzim!dazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one (101.0 g, 0.26
mol), and the yellow solid was suspended in 95% ethanol (1000 mL) and
stirred. In some cases an 8:1 solvent ratio is used. The suspension was then
heated to a gentle reflux (temperature of about 76°C) with stirring over a
period of about 1 hour. The reaction was then stirred for 45-75 minutes while
refluxed. At this point, the heat was removed from the flask and the
suspension was allowed to cool to a temperature of 25-30°C. The suspension
was then filtered, and the filter pad was washed with water (2 x 500 mL). The
yellow solid was then placed in a drylng tray and dried in a vacuum oven at
50°C until a constant weight was obtained (typically 16 hours) to obtain 97.2 g
(96.2%) of the purified product as a yellow powder.

D. Preparation of Lactic Acid Salt of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-methyl-
piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yU-1H-quinolin-2-one

[0785] A 3000 mL 4-necked jacketed flask was fitted with a condenser,
a temperature probe, a N2 gas inlet and a mechanical stirrer. The reaction
vessel was purged with N2 for at least 15 minutes and then charged with 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-i-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-
quinolin-2-one (484 g, 1.23 mol). A solution of D,L-Lactic acid (243.3 g, 1.72
mol of monomer-«ee the following paragraph), water (339 mL), and ethanol
(1211 mL) was prepared and then charged to the reaction flask. Stirring was
initiated at a medium rate, and the reaction was heated to an internal
temperature of 68-72°C. The internal temperature of the reaction was
maintained at 68-72°C for 15-45 minutes and then heating was discontinued.
The resulting mixture was filtered through a 1O-20 micron frit collecting the
filtrate in a 12 L flask. The 12 L flask was equipped with an internal
temperature probe, a reflux condenser, an addition funnel, a gas inlet an
outlet, and an overhead stirrer. The filtrate was then stirred at a medium rate
and heated to reflux (internal temperature of about 78°C). While maintaining
a gentle reflux, ethanol (3,596 mL) was charged to the flask over a period of
about 20 minutes. The reaction flask was then cooled to an internal
temperature ranging from about 64-70°C within 15-25 minutes and this

temperature was maintained for a period of about 30 minutes. Trie reactor
was inspected for crystals. If no crystals were present, then crystals of the
lactic acid salt of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one (484 mg, 0.1 mole %) were added to the
flask, and the reaction was stirred at 64-70°C for 30 minutes before again
inspecting the flask for crystals. Once crystals were present, stirring was
reduced to a low rate and the reaction was stirred at 64-70°C for an additional
90 minutes. The reaction was then cooled to about 0°C over a period of
about 2 hours, and the resulting mixture was filtered through a 25-50 micron
fritted filter. The reactor was washed with ethanol (484 mL) and stirred until
the internal temperature was about 0°C. The cold ethanol was used to wash
the filter cake, and this procedure was repeated 2 more times. The collected
solid was dried to a constant weight at 50°C under vacuum in a vacuum oven
ylelding 510.7 g (85.7%) of the crystalline yellow lactic acid salt of 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one.
A rubber dam or inert conditions were typically used during the filtration
process. While the dry solid did not appear to be very hygroscopic, the wet
filter cake tends to pick up water and become sticky. Precautions were taken
to avoid prolonged exposure of the wet filter cake to the atmosphere.
[0786] Commercial lactic acid generally contains about 8-12% w/w
water, and contains dimers and trimers in addition to the monomeric lactic
acid. The mole ratio of lactic acid dimer to monomer is generally about
1.0:4.7. Commercial grade lactic acid may be used in the process described
in the preceding paragraph as the monolactate salt preferentially precipitates
from the reaction mixture.
Assay Procedures
Serine/Threonine Kinases
[0787J The kinase activity of various protein serine/threonine kinases
was measured by providing ATP and a suitable peptide or protein containing
a serine or threonine amino acid residue for phosphorylation, and assaylng for

the transfer of phosphate moiety to the serine or threonine residue.
Recombinant proteins containing the kinase domains of GSK-3, RSK-2, PAR-
1, NEK-2, and CHK1 enzymes were expressed in Sf9 insect cells using a
Baculovirus expression system (InWrogen) and purified via Glu antibody
interaction (for Glu-epitope tagged constructs) or by Met al Ion
Chromatography (for Hise (SEQ ID NO: 1) tagged constructs). Cdc2 (GST
fusion construct) and cyclin B were co-expressed in Sf9 insect cells using a
Baculovirus expression system. Recombinant, active Cdk2/cyclin A is
available commercially and was purchased from Upstate Biotechnology. The
purified Cdc2 enzyme used in the assay was commercially available, and it
may be purchased from New England Bio Labs. For each assay, test

appropriate kinase reaction buffer plus 5-10 nM of ^P gamma-labeled ATP.
The kinase protein and the appropriate biotinylated peptide substrate were
added to give a final volume of 150 pL. Reactions were incubated for 3-4
hours at room temperature and then stopped by transferring to a streptavidin-
coated white microtiter plate (Thermo Labsystems) containing 100 nL of stop
reaction buffer. The stop reaction buffer consists of 50 mM unlabeled ATP
and 30 mM EDTA. After 1 hour of incubation, streptavidin plates were

[0789] The kinase activity of a number of protein tylosine kinases was
measured by providing ATP and an appropriate peptide or protein containing
a tylosine amino acid residue for phosphorylation, and assaylng for the
transfer of phosphate moiety to the tylosine residue. Recombinant proteins
corresponding to the cytoplasmic domains of the FLT-1 (VEGFR1), VEGFR2,
VEGFR3, Tie-2, PDGFRα, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 receptors were expressed
in Sf9 insect cells using a Bacuiovirus expression system (InVrtrogen) and
may be purified via GIu antibody interaction (for Glu-epitope tagged
constructs) or by Met al Ion Chromatography (for Hisg (SEQ ID NO: 1) tagged

and then mixed with an appropriate kinase reaction buffer plus ATP. Kinase
protein and an appropriate biotinylated peptide substrate were added to give a
final volume of 5O-100 yL, reactions were incubated for 1-3 hours at room
temperature and then stopped by addition of 25-50 jd. of 45 mM EDTA, 50
mM Hepes pH 7.5. The stopped reaction mixture (75 nL) was transferred to a
streptavidin-coated microtiter plate (Boehringer Mannheim) and incubated for
1 hour. Phosphorylated peptide product was measured with the DELFIA flme-
resolved fluorescence system (Wallac or PE Biosciences), using a Europium
labeled anti-phosphotylosine antibody PT66 with the modification that the
DELFIA assay buffer was supplemented with 1 mM MgCfe for the antibody
dilution. Time resolved fluorescence was read on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA
fluorometer or a PE Victor II multiple signal reader. The concentration of each
compound for 50% inhibition (IC50) was calculated employlng non-linear
regression using XL Fit data analysis software.

[0790] FLT-1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, FGFR3, Tie-2, and FGFR1 kinases
were assayed in 50 mM Hepes pH 7.0,2 mM MgCb* 10 mM MnCI2,1 mM

kinases were added at 0.1 µg/mL, 0.05 jig/mL, or 0.1 µg/mL respectively. For
the PDGFR kinase assay, 120 µg/mL enzyme with the same buffer conditions
as above was used except for changing ATP and peptide substrate
concentrations to 1.4 \M ATP, and 0.25 \JM biotin-GGLFDDPSYVNVQNL-

each assay, test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO and then mixed
with an appropriate kinase reaction buffer plus 10 nM ^P gamma-labeled
ATP. The kinase protein and the appropriate biotinylated peptide substrate

sealed and counted using TopCount. The concentration of each compound
for 50% inhibition (IC50) was calculated employlng non-linear regression using
XL Fit data analysis software.
[0792] The kinase reaction buffer for Fyn, Lck, and c-ABL contained 50

unlabeled ATP, and 1 nM kinase.
[0793] The kinase activity of c-Kit and FLT-3 were measured by
providing ATP and a peptide or protein containing a tylosine amino acid
residue for phosphorylation, and assaylng for the transfer of phosphate moiety
to the tylosine residue. Recombinant proteins corresponding to the
cytoplasmic domains of the o-Kit and FLT-3 receptors were purchased
(Proquinase). For testing, an exemplary compound, for example 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinonn-2(1H)-one,
was diluted in DMSO and then mixed with the kinase reaction buffer

NO: 2}) were added to give a final volume of 100 uL These reactions were
incubated for 2 hours at room temperature and then stopped by addition of 50
uL of 45 mM EDTA, 50 mM HEPES, pH 7.5. The stopped reaction mixture
(75 uL) was transferred to a streptavidin-coated microtiter plate (Boehringer
Mannheim) and incubated for 1 hour. Phosphorylated peptide product was
measured with the DELPHIA time-resolved fluorescence system (Wallac or
PE Biosciences), using a Europium-labeled anti-phosphotylosine antibody,
PT66, with the modification that the DELFIA assay buffer was supplemented
with 1 mM MgCI2 for the antibody dilution. Time resolved fluorescence values
were determined on a Wallac 1232 DELFIA fluorometer or a PE Victor II
multiple signal reader. The concentration of each compound for 50%

Small Molecule Inhibitors of Growth Factor Tylosine Kinase Receptors
Involved in Angiogenesis and Tumor Cell Proliferation
Inhibition of Kinases
[0818] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylp?perazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-ohe is an orally bioavailable benzimidazole-quinoiinone
that exhibits potent inhibition of receptor tylosine kinases that drive both
endothelial and tumor cell proliferation. The inhibitory effect of 4-am|no-5-
fl uoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
on nine tylosine kinases, FGFR1, FGFR3, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3,
PDGFRB, c-Kit, p60src, and FLT-3 was determined using the assay
procedures described above. The IC50S for these tylosine kinases were found
to be less than 30 nM. The compound also displays IC50S of less than 1 µM

against fyn, p^lck, c-ABL, CHK1, CHK2, PAR-1, MEK, and RSK2. 4-Amino-
^-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)*1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
does not significantly inhibit EGFR family kinases or insulin receptor kinase at
these concentrations (IC50S >2 pM). The inhibitory effect of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-
3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzirnidazol-2^yl]quinolin-2|;i H)-one on
phosphorylation of FLT-3 in MV4-11 cells, a tumor cell line, is described
below.
Antiproliferative Effects in Cell Lines
[0819] The antiproliferative activity of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H^one (Example 166)
was assessed in 27 different cancer and primary cell lines and displayed EC50
values of Jess than 10 uM in 26 out of the 27 cell lines. The antiproliferative
activity of the exemplary compound was tested by adding a MTS tetrazolium
compound (available from Promega, Madison, Wisconsin) that is bioreduced
by metabolically-active cells into a soluble colored formazan product, which
was recorded by measuring the absorbance at 490 nm with a
spectrophotometer. In order to determine EC50 values for the exemplary
compound in each of the cell lines, the appropriate number of cells was
determined to give an optimal signal (see Table 6) and plated in 100 pL of
growth media in a 96 well plate. Serially-diluted exemplary compound in a
DMSO stock solution was added to the plate in 100 uL growth media typically -
at a starting concentration of 20 pM and incubated for 72 hours at 37°C and
5% CO2. The final DMSO concentration was 0.5% or less for each cell line
(see Table 6). The cell lines used to determine EC50 values of the exemplary
compounds are listed in Table 6 and were of human origin unless otherwise
noted. For the HMVEC and TF-1 cell lines, the EC50 were determined as
inhibition of VEGF and SCF (Stem cell factor) mediated proliferation,
respectively. After the 72 hours of incubation, 40 pL of MTS solution was
added to the wells and the OD measured after 3-6 hours at 490 nm. The
EC50 values were calculated using nonlinear regression. The exemplary
compound had antiproliferative effects with EC50s
tested with the exception of the U87MG cell line in which the EC50 was
calculated to be about 10 uM for the exemplary compound.



[0820] Significant anti-proliferaflve effects were observed in endothelial
cells and a subset of tumor cell lines. Several human cancer ceil lines have
been identified that are at least 10 fold more sensitive to the antiproliferative
effects of 4-minc-5-fIuoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one than the rest of the cell lines tested. The compound
inhibited VEGF mediated proliferation in HMVEC (human microvascular
endothelial cells) with an IC50 of 25 nM and the compound inhibited KM12L4a,
a human colon cancer cell line, in a dose-dependent manner with an EC50 of 9
nM. SCF (Stem Cell Factor) mediated proliferation of TF-1 cells was inhibited
by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one indicating that c-Kit RTK activity is modulated. The
compound displayed antiproliferative activity in FLT-3 mutant and wild-type
cells: EC50S of 13 nM against MV4-11 (FLT-3 ITD mutant), and 510 nM
against RS4 (FLT-3 wild-type). Reduced tumor cell proliferation was
documented in vivo by immunonistochemistry staining with Ki67. Thus,
4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one is not a general "non-specific" cytotoxic agent, but has potent
activity against many cancer cell lines.

Inhibition of Phosphorylation in Cell-Based Assays
[0821] Studies with plasma and tumors collected from mice following
treatment with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol~2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one were performed to evaluate potential
pharmacodynamic endpoints. Analysis of target modulation in KM12L4a
tumors after 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one treatment indicated mat phosphorylation of VEGFR1,
VEGFR2, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 were inhibited in a time- and dose-
dependent manner. For example, HMVEC'cells showed inhibition of VEGF
mediated VEGFR2 phosphorylation with an IC50 of about 0.1 µM. In addition,
treatment of endothelial cells with 4-aminor5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited MAPKand Akt
phosphorylation mediated by VEGF.
[0822] Furthermore, a time- and dose- dependent inhibition of ERK
(MAPK) activation, a downstream target of receptor tylosine kinases, Was
observed with IC50S ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 uM in KM12L4A cells. (KM12L4A
cells express PDGFRβ and VEGFR1/2 on their surfaces.) The inhibitory
effects of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one on receptor phosphorylation and ERK activation were
maintained for 24 hours after treatment Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in MV4- ,
11 cells was inhibited by the exemplary compound at IC50S of 0.01 to 0.1 µM
in a dose-dependent manner.
[0823] FLT-3 and Stat5 phosphorylation was inhibited at concentrations
of 0.1 and 0.5 uM of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-y()-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one when MV4-11 cells are treated for 1
hour. A dose response study of the exemplary compound showed full
inhibition of Stat5 phosphorylation in MV4-11 cells at 0.1 µM. A pulse-
washout experiment in MV4-11 cells with the exemplary compound showed
full inhibition of Stat5 phosphorylation for at least 4 hours and partial inhibition

at 24 and 44 hours. FLT-3 phosphorylation in RS4 cells was inhibited at 0.1,
1 and 3 pM concentrations of the exemplary compound.
[0824] Significant activity was observed in vivo in the HCT116 human
colon tumor model. In HCT116 tumors, 4-amind-5-fkioro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited the
phosphorylation of ERK (MAPK) in a dose- and time-dependent manner and
significant changes in histology analyses of the tumors was observed.
[0825] These PK/PD evaluations in preclinical models indicate that 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one showed a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of both the target
receptors and the downstream signaling molecule, ERK (MAPK). These
studies will aid in the identification of potential biomarkers to support the
monitoring of biological activity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in clinical trials.
in Vivo Tumor Model Studies
[0826] In vivo daily oral dosing of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one resulted in
significant anti-tumor activity in a broad range of human and murine tumor
models. Established tumor xenografts of prostate, colon, ovarian and
hematologicaily-derived cancer cells have all demonstrated responsiveness to
treatment in a dose-dependent manner, with EDg* ranging from 4-65
mg/kg/d. The in vivo activity ranges from growth inhibition to stable disease
and tumor regressions. For example, the compound induces regression and
growth inhibition in subcutaneous KM12L4a human colon tumor xenografts in
nu/nu mice. FIG. 1 shows tumor volume over time at various doses of 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one. Dosing started when tumor xenografts reached 125 mm3. The
results show significant tumor growth inhibition after 4 doses of greater than
or equal to 30 mg/kg, and tumor regressions at. 60 and 100 mg/kg. Similar

results were observed in 9O-100% of animals with larger KM12L4a colon
tumor xenografts. Treatment started when tumor size reached 500 and 1000
mm3. Tissue concentration studies showed that4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl|quinolin-2(1H)-one was ret alned in
the tumor with levels up to 65-300 fold higher than plasma at 24 hours after
dosing. In addition, target modulation studies showed inhibition was
maintained for more than 24 hours. '
[0827] Example 166 also displayed an ED50 of 4 mg/kg/d in a
subcutaneous MV4-11 (FLT-3 ITD mutant) tumor model in SCID-NOD mice
(treatment initiated when tumor volume at 300 mm3; see FIG. 11). A dose of
30 mg/kg/d inhibited the growth of larger MV4-11 tumors (>86% for 500 mm3;
>80% for 1000 mm3 tumor volume at treatment start) and resulted in several
complete regressions (see FIG. 12). Regressions were found to be stable
after cessation of dosing. In those tumors that recurred, a second cycle of 30
mg/kg/d of the exemplary compound again caused partial regression,
indicating a lack of acquired resistance to the compound.
[0828] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one also proved efficacious in a tumor metastasis study in
which 4T1 murine breast tumor cells were implanted subcutaneously in
BALB/c mice. Treatment was begun when the tumors reached 150 mm3, and
the mice were given oral daily doses for 17 days. Study endpoints at 30 days
after cell implant were primary tumor growth inhibition versus vehicle and
macroscopic counts of gross liver metastases. Example 166 inhibited the
primary tumor up to 82% and inhibited liver metastases by more than 75% at
all doses above 10 mg/kg/d.
Antiangiogenic Effects
[0829] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was assayed in several in vitro angiogenesis assays
including endothelial cell migration and tube formation on fibrin gels (see

FIGS. 9A and 9B) as well as In the ex vivo rat aortic ring assay (see FIG. 10).
It showed dose-dependent inhibition of the respective assay endpoints
compared to the control.
[0830] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpipera2in-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one induces dose-dependent inhibition of angiogenesis in
the in vivo matrigel model. Matrigel supplemented with bFGF was injected
subcutaneously into mice. The compound was orally administered to the
mice for 8 days. The matrigel plug was removed and the hemoglobin
concentration therein was quantitated. As shown in FIG. 2, significant
inhibition of neovascularization was observed, with an ED50 of 3 mg/kg/day.
In addition, all doses were well tolerated by the animals in the 8-day studies.
Dosing Scheduling Effects
[0831] Dose scheduling studies were done to evaluate the relationship
of the extended tumor half-life and prolonged biological activity to the anti-
tumor efficacy. Significant activity was observed with several intermittent and
cyclic dosing regimens. For example, in an intermittent dosing regime, 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1 -y I)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-
2(1H)-one was administered to SCID mice having subcutaneous PC3 human
prostate tumor xenografts. Treatment was started when tumors reached 150
mm3 in size. Dosing was performed at 100 rµg/kg orally qd, q2d, q3d, and
q4d. Significant and similar tumor inhibition was observed in all treatment
groups as shown in FIG. 3.
[0832] In a cyclic dosing experiment, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was
administered to nu/nu mice having KM12L4a human colon tumor xenografts.
Treatment was started when tumors reached 500 mm3. Doses were
administered at 100 or 150 mg/kg on days 1 -5,18-22, and 26-30. Compared
to vehicle, tumor regression of 50% or more was seen. At the higher dose,
tumors continued to regress and then stabilize for about 10 days. In another

dosing study, the effect of the exemplary compound was examined in the
human MV4-11 (FLT-3 ITD mutant) subcutaneous tumor model in SCID-NOD
mice. Alternate dosing schedules (q.o.d. or 7days on/7 off) of 30 mg/kg 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one were equally potent (see FIG. 13).
Combination Therapy Results
[0833] Combination therapy studies were done using the standard
cytotoxics, irinotecan and 5-FU, in the KM12L4a colon tumor model.
Significant potentiation of activity was seen, with the most dramatic effects at
low, inactive doses of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one as shown in FIG. 5. A cyclic dosing
regimen of the compound at 50 mg/kg in combination with irinotecan gave
excellent results, with 3 complete regressions and 7 partial regressions, as
shown in FIG. 6. Synergistic and greater than additive effects were also seen
with trastuzumab combined with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in the erbB2-overexpressing
ovarian tumor model, SKOV3ip1 (see FIG. 7). Additionally, tumor responses
and regressions were significantly improved over each single agent treatment
in the A431 epidermoid tumor model when 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was combined
with ZD1839 (Iressa) (see FIG. 8). These data suggest that 4-amino-5-fluoro-
3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one has the
potential to be a broadly applicable and effective therapy for solid and
hematological cancers.
Metabolism and Pharmacokinetic Studies
[0834] Metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies were carried out on 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one. The compound was stable in human liver microsomes. It did not
demonstrate a significant potential for inhibition of five common cDNA derived

CYP isozymes (1A2,2C9,2C19,2D6,3A4) Having IC50S of greater than 25
uM for each. In addition, the compound displays a half life adequate for once
daily dosing. Thus, the compound displays favorable metabolic and
pharmacokinetic properties.
Inhibition of CSF-1 Mediated Growth by 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
[0835J The antiproliferative activity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl|-1H-quinolin-2-one was shown to
inhibit CSF-1 (Colony Stimulating Factor-1) mediated proliferation of M-NFS-
60 cells (mouse myeloblast cell line) with an EC50 of 300 nM. The assay was
run by plating 5000 cells/well in 50 uL assay media (growth media without
67.1 µg/ml GM-CSF: RPMI-1640+10% FBS+0.044 mM beta
Mercaptoethanol+2 mM L-Glut+Pen/Strep) in a 96 well plate. Serially-diluted
4-amino-5-fluon>3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-
quinolin-2-one in a DMSO stock solution starting at 20 µM was added to the
plate in 50 µL assay media containing CSF-1 to make a final concentration of
10 µg/ml and then incubated for 72 hours at 37°C and 5% CO2. The final
DMSO concentration was 0.2%. After 72 hours of incubation, 100 µL of Cell
Titer Glo (Promega #G755B) was added to the plate and, after shaking and a
10 minute incubation time, the luminescence was measured. The EC50 was
calculated using nonlinear regression.
[0836] Autophosphorylation of CSFR1 is inhibited by 4-amino-5-fluoro-
3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one with
concentrations [6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one and
treatment of the cells with CSF-1 for 5 minutes at the end of the incubation
time, resulted in inhibition of receptor tylosine phosphorylation detected by
immunoprecipitation of CSFR1 and western blotting with an anti-
phosphotylosine antibody.

Inhibition of FGFR3 by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
[0837] The t(4; 14) translocation that occurs uniquely in a subset (15-
20%) of multiple myeloma (MM) patients results in the ectopic expression of
the receptor tylosine kinase (RTK), FGFR3. The subsequent acquisition of
FGFR3 activating mutations in some MM is associated with disease
progression and is strongly transforming in experimental models.
[0838] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one inhibited proliferation of OPM-2 cells that express
constitutively activated FGFR3 due to a K650E mutation with an EC50 of 100
nM. The assay was run by plating 8000 cells/well in 50 µL assay media
(RPMI-1640+10%FBS+Pen/Strep) in a 96 well plate. Serially-diluted 4-
amino-S-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-
quinolin-2-one in a DMSO stock solution starting at 20 nM was added to the
plate in 50 µL assay media and then incubated for 72 hours at 37C and 5%
CO2. The final DMSO concentration was 0.2%. After 72 hours of incubation,
100 µL of Gell Titer Glo (Promega #G755B) was added to the plate and, after
shaking and a 10 minute incubation time, the luminescence was read. The
EC50 was calculated using nonlinear regression. The EC50 for 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
in the H929 cell line (IMDM+10%FBS+Pen/Strep) that expresses WT FGFR3
receptor was 0.63 µM. The EC50 was determined as described above using
assay media that contained 50 µg/ml aFGF, 10 µg/ml Heparin and 1% FBS).
The EC50 was calculated using nonlinear regression from the ODs at 490 nm
which were determined after adding MTS tetrazolium reagent (Promega) for 4
hours.
[0839] Significant apoptosis was seen after 6 days of treatment of
OPM-2 cells with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one (>60% of the cells were AnnexinV

positive using the protocol and instrument from Guava Technologies for
detection of Annexin V positive cells).
[0840] The phosphorylation of downstream signaling component ERK
was completely inhibited after incubation of OPM-2 cells with 0.1 µM of 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-
quinolin-2-one. Western blotting was used to show inhibition of ERK
phosphorylation.
Inhibition of C-Met by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpipera2in-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one
[0841] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one inhibited c-MET with an IC50>3 nM. The kinase
activity of c-MET was measured by providing ATP at a final concentration of
25 µM and 10 nM of the c-MET enzyme (Upstate#14-526) in the presence of
1 µM biotinylated substrate (KKKSPGEYVNIEFG (SEQ ID NO: 8)).
Substrate bound to Streptavidin plates was detected with Europium labeled
antiphosphotylosine Antibody PT66. Phosphorylated peptide substrate was
measured with the DELPHIA time resolved fluorescence system, and the IC50
was calculated employlng non-linear regression using XL Fit data analysis
software. C-MET was constitutively activated in KM12L4A cells which is one
of the most sensitive cell lines with respect to inhibition of proliferation by 4-
ammo-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl|-1H-
quinolin-2-one (EC5020 nM). This suggests that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl]-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]-1H-quinolin-2-one either inhibits
mutated c-MET or a kinase in the downstream signaling pathway of c-MET.
In Vitro Activity of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one Against Various RTKs
[0842] 4-Amino substituted quinolinone behzimidazolyl compounds
such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinoIin-2(1H)-one and tautomers and salts thereof are potent inhibitors of

various kinases such as VEGFR2 (KDR, Flk-1), FGFR1 and PDGFRβ with
IC50S ranging from 1O-27 nM. See U.S. Patent No. 6,605,617, U.S. Patent
Application No. 10/644,055, and U.S. Patent Application No. 10/706,328,
each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all
purposes as if fully set forth herein, for a list of various tylosine and
serine/threonine kinases for which 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one has shown activity and for assay
procedures. These RTKs are important for the initiation and maintenance of
new blood vessel growth as well as tumor proliferation. Systematic profiling
against class III-IV RTKs as well as a subset of RTKs from other classes
shows potent inhibition of CSF-R1/c-fms, c-kit, flt3 and FGFR3. FGFR3 is
abnormally expressed and in some cases constitutively activated in a subset
of multiple myeloma patients as a consequence of the t(4;14) translocation
(about 15-20%).
[0843] The effects of 4-amino substituted quinolinone benzimidazolyl
compounds such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoiin-2(1H)-one on multiple myeloma cell lines with the
t(4;14) translocation were investigated with respect to effects on proliferation,
cell cycle, apoptosis, and FGFR3 and ERK (extracellular regulated kinase)
phosphorylation. Multiple myeloma presents with detrimental bone loss
mainly mediated by the large increase in IL6 production and concomitant activation of osteoclasts responsible for bone resorption. M-CSF has a role in
recruitment of osteoclast precursors and may promote their survival. Blocking
signaling through the CSF-1R may thus provide additional benefit to multiple
myeloma patients. Inhibition of M-CSF mediated proliferation of the murine
myeloid cell line M-NFS-60 con-elated with inhibition of in vitro kinase activity
against c-fms/CSF-1R.
[0844] 4-Amino substituted quinolinone benzimidazolyl compounds
such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one and tautomers and salts thereof act as potent inhibitors
of Class lll-V RTKs. IC50 values of 4-amino-5-fIuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-

1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one are presented in the following
table.

[0845] The in vitro RTK assays used to prepare the above table were
run in the presence of an ATP concentration that was withjn three-fold or at
Km of enzymes used (for enzymes where the Km was available).
Phosphorylated peptide substrate was detected with a Europium labeled anti-
phospho-tylosine Antibody (PT66). The Europium was then detected using
time resolved fluorescence. For some assays, y-P33 ATP was incubated with
the enzyme and the radioactivity of phosphorylated peptide substrate was
quantified in the presence of various concentration of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one and used to
calculate the IC50.

[0846] FIG. 14 shows that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibits proliferation of multiple
myeloma ceil lines. KMST1, OPM-2, and H929 are multiple myeloma cell
lines that were incubated with serial dilutions of 4-airiino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one. After 72
hours, the number of viable cells left was determined using the Cell Titer-Glo™
Assay (Promega). KMS11 and OPM-2 have activating mutations in the
FGFR3 receptor, and H929 expresses WTFGFR3. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited
FGFR3 receptor kinase (IC50 = 9 nM, Table 7) and blocked proliferation of two
cell lines with activating FGFR3 mutations: KMS11 (Y373C) and OPM-2
(K650E) cells with EC50S of 60 nM and 87 nM, respectively (see FIG. 14).
H929 cells express WT FGFR3 and mutant N-ras (13G>D), and proliferation
was inhibited, but less potently, by 4-amino-6-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-
1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in this cell line (EC50 = 2.6 µM,
EC50 in serum reduced growth media = 0.6 µM).
[0847] FGFR3 tylosine phosphorylation was inhibited by 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
at 0.5 uM in KMS11 cells (see FIG. 15). KMS11 cells were starved for two
hours in growth media containing 1% FBS. The cells were men incubated
with different concentrations of 4-amino-5-fIuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one for two hours in growth media
without FBS, washed and lysed for immunoprecipitation with FGFR3 Ab
(sc123 Santa Cruz Biotech). Lysates were analyzed by western blotting and
probed with anti-phosphotylosine Antibody 4G10 (Upstate Biotech). The
lower panel showed total FGFR3 after stripping the western blot and
reprobing with FGFR3 Ab (See FIG. 15).
[0848] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinoiin-2(1H)-one was found to inhibit ERK phosphorylation at 0.5 pM in
KMS11 cells. KMS11 cells were starved for two hours in growth media
containing 1% FBS. The cells were then incubated with different

concentrations of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yllquinolin-2(1H)-one for two hours in growth media without
FBS, washed; lysed, and analyzed by western blotting and probed with anti
phospho-ERK Antibody (Cell. Signaling). The lower panel of FIG. 16A shows
cyclophilin protein (Upstate Biotech) as a loading control. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl|quinolin-2(1H)-one also
inhibited ERK phosphorylation at 0.1 µM in OPM-2 cells. OPM-2 cells were
incubated with different concentration of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one for one hour in
growth media with 1% FBS, washed, lysed, and analyzed by western blotting
and probed with anti phospho-ERK Antibody (Cell Signaling). The lower
panel of FIG. 16B shows 14-3-3 protein (Santa Cruz Biotech) as a loading
control. ERK in the MAPK pathway is a downstream FGFR3 signaling
component and phosphorylation of ERK was inhibited in both OPM-2 and
KMS11 cells at 0.5 µM 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]qumotin-2(1H)-one (See FIGS. 16A and 16B). In contrast,
the compound had no effect on phospho-ERK levels up to 5 uM in H929 cells.
H929 cells were starved for two days in growth media without FBS. The cells
were then incubated with different concentrations of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one for one hour in growth media without FBS, washed, stimulated for 5 minutes with 50 µg/mL
aFGF and 10 µg/mL Heparin, lysed, and analyzed by western blotting and
probed with anti phospho-ERK Ab (Cell Signaling). Only a minor change in
phospho-ERK in response to stimulation with aFGF after two days of serum
starvation indicated that the pathway is constitutively activated due to the Ras
mutation (See FIG. 16C).
[0849] KMS11 cells were incubated with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at various
concentrations for 96 hours. The incubated KMS11 cells were washed and
stained with AnnexinVPE and 7AAD according to the Nexin assay protocol
(Guava Technologies). Samples were run on Guava PCA™ instrument and

percentage of cells In each category were analyzed with the Guava Nexin™
software. OPM-2 cells were Incubated with 4-amino~5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at various
concentrations for 72 hours. The incubated OPM-2 cells were washed and
stained with AnnexinVPE and 7AAD according to the Nexin assay protocol
(Guava Technologies). Samples Were run on Guava PCA™ instrument and
percentage of cells in each category were analyzed with the Guava Nexin™
software. Results of the above experiments show that 4-amino-5-fIuoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-2(1H)-one induced
apoptosis as measured by Annexin VPE staining in KMS11 and OPM-2 cells
starting at concentrations of 0.1 µM and 0.5 µM respectively (FIGS. 17 and
19).
[0850] The experimental data regarding induction of apoptosis by 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one in KMS11 and OPM-2 cells was confirmed by significant increases
in the sub G1 population of cells in a cell cycle analysis observed at
concentrations of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one of 0.1 µM and higher (FIG. 18). KMS11
cells were incubated with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at concentrations of 0.001 µM, 0.01 µM,
0.1 µM, and 1 µM for 72 hours. Cells Were then fixed and stained with
propidium iodide before analyzing the samples by FAGS (See FIG. 18).
These results showed that the compound has mind r effects on the cell cycle,
but induced apoptosis in KMS11 cells at 0.1 µM. OPM-2 cells were also
incubated with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at concentrations of 0.001 µM, 0.01 µM,
0.1 µM, and 1 µM for 72 hours. Cells were similarly fixed and stained with
propidium iodide before analyzing the samples by FACS (See FIG. 20).
These results showed that the compound has minor effects on the cell cycle,
but induced apoptosis in OPM-2 cells at 0.5 pM. Other effects on the cell
cycle by the compound were minor e.g., there was no significant G1 arrest.

Increases in the sub G1 population were less significant in the OPM-2 cell line
compared to the KMS11 cells and started at 0.5 uM (FIG. 20).
[0851] H929 cells were incubated with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at
concentrations of 0.01 µM, 0.1 µM, 0.5 µM, and 1 µM for 72 hours. Cells
were then fixed and stained with propidium iodide before analyzing the
samples by FACS (See FIG. 21). 4-Amino-5-fIuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one had no effects on the cell cycle in
H929 cells with concentrations up to 1 µM confirming that the FGFR3
expressing N-ras mutant cell line is less sensitive to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one (FIG. 21) than
are the KMS11 and OPM-2 cells.
[0852] Osteolytic bone loss is one of the major complications in multiple
myeloma disease. The major cytokines involved in bone resorption are IL1B
and IL6. In addition, increased serum concentrations of M-CSF have been
detected in patients. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibits CSF-1R activity, the only known
receptor for M-CSF with an IC50 of 36 nM (See Table 7). M-CSF mediated
proliferation of a mouse myeloblastic cell line M-NFS-60 was inhibited with an
EC50 of 220 nM (FIG. 22). Murine M-NFS-60 cells were incubated with serial
dilutions of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzjmidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in assay media with 10 µg/mL M-CSF and without GM-
CSF. Cells in control wells were incubated with assay media only. After 72
hours incubation time, the number of viable cells left was determined using
the CellTiter-Glo™ Assay (Prornega). EC50 values were determined using
nonlinear regression (FIG. 22).
[0853] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methy[piperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one has significant antiproliferative activity and inhibits

[0855] Inhibition of M-CSF mediated proliferation of the murine myeloid
cell line M-NFS-60 correlated with inhibition of the in vitro kinase activity of
CSF-1R by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one. Potent activity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one against t(4:14)
multiple myeloma cell lines especially those with activating FGFR3 were

INHIBITION OF FGF3 AND TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA
[0856[ The t(4:14) translocation that occurs uniquely in a subset (20%)
of multiple myeloma (MM) patients results in the ectopic expression of the
receptor tylosine kinase (RTK), fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3).
Inhibition of activated FGFR3 in MM cells induces apoptosis, validating
FGFR3 as a therapeutic target in t(4;14) MM and encouraging the clinical
development of FGFR3 inhibitors for the treatment of these poor-prognosis
patients. 4-Amino substituted quinolinone benzimidazolyl compounds such as
4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one, act as inhibitors of FGFR3. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one potently
inhibits FGFR3 with IC50 of 5 nM in in vitro kinase assays and selectively
inhibited the growth of B9 cells and human myeloma cell lines expressing
wild-type (WT) or activated mutant FGFR3. In responsive cell lines, 4-amino-
5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
induced cytostatic and cytotoxic effects. Importantly, addition of interieukin-6
(IL-6), insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) or co-culture on stroma did not confer
resistance to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one. In primary myeloma cells from t(4;14) patients, 4-

amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one inhibited downstream ERK1/2 phosphorylation with an associated
ototoxic response. Finally, therapeutic efficacy of 4-Amino substituted
quinolinone benzimidazolyl compounds such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was
demonstrated in a xenograft mouse model of FGFR3 MM. 4-Amino
substituted quinolinone benzimidazolyl compounds such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-
3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one are
potent inhibitors of FGFR3-transformed hematopoietic cell lines and human
multiple myeloma cell lines expressing either WT or mutant FGFR3. In
addition, these compounds are potent inhibitors in a mouse model of FGFR3-
mediated MM and are cytotoxic to primary myeloma cells from t(4;14)
patients. Taken together, these data indicate that 4-amino substituted
quinolinone benzimidazolyl compounds such as 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one have
significant potential in treating MM associated with FGFR3 expression.
METHODS
Chemical Compounds and Biological Reagents
[0857] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was dissolved in DMSO at a stock concentration of 20
mM. For animal experiments, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was formulated in 5 mM citrate
buffer. Acidic FGF (aFGF) and heparin were purchased from R&D Systems
(Minneapolis, MN) and Sigma (Ontario, Canada), respectively. FGFR3
antibodies (C15, H100 and B9) were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology
(Santa Cruz, CA), and 4G10 from Upstate Biotechnology (Lake Placid, NY).
In Vitro Kinase Assays
[0858] The IC50 values for the inhibition of RTKs by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one were

determined in a time resolved fluorescence (TRF) or radioactive format,
measuring the inhibition by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-2(1H)-one of phosphate transfer to a substrate by
the respective enzyme. Briefly, the respective RTK domain was expressed or
purchased as recombinant protein and incubated with serial dilutions of 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one in the presence of substrate and ATP concentrations within 2-3
times the Km of the enzyme. IC50 values were calculated using non-linear
regression and represent the average of at least 2 experiments.
FGFR3 Expression Vectors and B9 Cell Transfectants
[0859] B9 cells expressing WT FGFR3 (B9-WT), FGFR3-K650E (B9-
K650E) and empty retrovirus (B9-MINV) have been described previously.
Plowright E. E.et al.,Blood, 2000; 95:992-998. Full-length FGFR3 cDNAs,
containing F384L, Y373C, or J807G (gift of Marta Chesi, Weill Medical
College of Cornell, New York, NY) were cloned into an MSCV-based retroviral
vector containing a green fluorescent protein (GFP) cassette. A construct
carrylng the G384D mutation was created from the FGFR3-WT by replacing
the Pmll-Bglll fragment between amino acid 290 and 413 with the same
fragment obtained from the KMS18 as previously described. Ronchetti, D. et
at., Oncogene, 2001; 20:3553-3562. The constructed retroviral vectors were
transfected into GP-E ecotropic packaging cells. The resulting retroviruses
were used to introduce FGFR3 into the IL-6 dependent murine myeloma cell
line, B9. A limiting cell dilution was further performed to generate single cell
clones. A high-expressing clone for each construct (B9-F384L, B9-Y373C,
B9-G384D and B9-J807C) was cryopreserved.
Cell Lines and Tissue Culture
[0860] All human MM cell lines and B9 cells were maintained in
Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) supplemented with 5% FCS,
100 µg/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Gibco, Invitrogen Canada,
Ontario) and 1% IL-6 conditioned medium (B9 cells only). BM stroma cells

(BMSCs) were derived from BM specimens obtained from MM patients.
Mononuclear cells separated by Ficoll-Hipaque density sedimentation were
used to establish long-term cultures, as described previously. Hideshima, T.
et al., Blood, 2000; 96:2943-2950. For the purposes of viability assays
BMSCs were irradiated with 20 Gy after plating on 96 well plates.
Viability Assay
[0861] Cell viability was assessed by 3-(4,5-dumethylthiazol)-2,5-
diphenyl tetrazolium (MTT) dye absorbance. Cells were seeded in 96-well
plates at a density of 5,000 (B9 cells) or 20,000 (MM cell lines) cells per well
in IMDM with 5% PCS. Cells were incubated with 30 ng/ml aFGFand 100
µg/ml heparin or 1% IL-6 where indicated and increasing concentrations of 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-
2(1H)-one. For each concentration of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimid,azol-2-yl]quinplin-2(1H)-one, 10 µl aliquots
of drug or DMSO diluted in culture medium was added. For drug combination
studies, cells were incubated.with0.5 µM dexamethasone, 100 nM 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
or both simultaneously where indicated. To evaluate the effect of 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
on growth of MM cells adherent to BMSCs, 10,000 KMS11 cells were cultured
on BMSC-coated 96-well plates, in the presence or absence of 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one.
Plates were incubated for 48 to 96 hours at 37oC, 5% CO2. The MTT assay
was performed according to the manufacturer's instruction (Boehringer
Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany). For assessment of macrophage-colony
stimulating factor (M-CSF) mediated growth, 5000 M-NFS-60 cells per well
were incubated with serial dilutions of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in media with
10 µg/ml M-CSF and without granulocytemacrophage-colony stimulating
factor (GM-CSF). After 72 hours, cell viability was determined using Cell
Titer-Glo™ Assay (Prornega, Madison, Wl). EC50 values were determined

using non-linear regression. Each experimentalcondition was performed in
triplicate.
Intracellular Phospho-Protein Staining
[0862] Determination of ERK1/2 phosphorylation by flow cytometryhas
been described previously. Chow, S. et al., Cytometry, 2001; 46:72-78; and
Irish, J. M. et al., Cell, 2004; 118:217-228Briefly, cells were serum starved
overnight and then stirhulated withr30 ng/ml aFGF and 10 µg/ml heparin for
10 minutes at 37°C. The cells were immediately fixed by adding 10%
formaldehyde directly into the culture medium to obtain a final concentration
of 2%. Cells were incubated in fixative for 10 minutes at 37°C then on ice for
an additional 2 minutes. The cells were permeabilized by adding ice-cold
methanol (final concentration of 90%) and incubated on ice for 30 minutes.
Cells were stained with anti-ERK1/2 (Cell'Signalirig Technology, Beverly, MA)
for 15 minutes and labeled with FITOconjugated goat anti-rabbit and anti-
CD138-PE (PharMinogen, San Diego, CA) where indicated; Malignant cells
were identified as cells that express high levels of CD138; Flow cytometry
was performed on a FACS Caliber flow cytometer(BD Biosciences, San Jose,
CA) and analyzed using Cellquest software (Becton Dickinson).
Apoptosis Analysis
[0863] For studies of apoptosis, cells were seeded at an initial density
of 2x105/ml medium supplemented with DMSO, 100 nM or 500 nM 4-amino-
5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
and cultured for up to 6 days. The medium and drug were replenished every
3 days, and the cell density was adjusted to 2 x 105/ml. Apoptosis was
determined by Annexin V staining (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis, IN)
and analyzed by flow cytometry.
Primary Patient Samples
[0864] Patients identified for the study were determined to possess a
t(4; 14) translocation by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Expression

of FGFR3 was confirmed by flow cytometry as described previously. Chesi,
M. ef al., Blood, 2001; 97:729-736. Briefly, erythrocytes were lysed and BM
mononuclear cells were incubated on ice for 30 minutes with rabbit anti-
FGFR3 (H100) or rabbit preimmune serum. The cells were stained with FITC-
conjugated goat antirabbit IgG and mouse anti-CD138-PE to identify MM
cells. The samples were then analyzed by flow cytometry.
[0865] All t(4;14) positive samples were further analyzed for the
presence of FGFR3 or Ras mutations. Four pairs of primers were designed to
amplify the regions of FGFR3-coritaining codons of the extracellular (EC)
domain, transmembrane (TM) domain tylosine kinase (TK) domain and stop
codon (SC), known hot spots for activating mutations. Two pairs of primers
were designed to amplify regions of codons 12,13, and 61 of N-ras and K-
ras. Chesi, M. et al., Blood, 2001; 97:729-736. A first PCR reaction was
performed on genomic DNA extracted from GD138 purified myeloma cells and
amplicons were used for DHPLC analysis. Results were confirmed by
sequence analysis of the PCR products.
[0866] For cell death analysis, mononuclear cells were separated by
Ficoll-Hipaque gradient sedimentation and plated at a cell density of 5 x 105
cells/ml in IMDM supplemented with 20% FCS and 30 µg/ml aFGF and 10
µg/ml heparin. Cells were cultured in the presence of DMSO or 500 nM 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one for up to 12 days. The medium, aFGF/heparin and drug were
replenished every 3 days. After 3,7 and 12 days, cells were triple stained
with anti-CD38-PE, anti-CD45-CyChrome (PharMinogen) and FITc-
conjugated Annexin Vas previously described. LeBlanc, R. et al., Cancer
Res., 2002; 62:4996-5000. Controls included unstained cells, isotype control
stained cells, and single-stained cells. Malignant cells plasma cells were
defined as cells that express high levels of CD38 and no or low levels of
CD45 (CD38++/CD45"). Samples were analyzed by FACScan analysis using
Cellquest software. BM aspirates were obtained by consent under an IRB-
approved protocol.

Xenograft Mouse Model
[0867] the xenograft mouse model was prepared as previously
described. Mohammadi, M. et al Embo.J., 1998; 17:5896-5904. Briefly, six
to eight week old female BNX mice obtained from Frederick Cancer Research
and Development Centre (Frederick, MD) were inoculated s.c. into the right
flank with 3 x 107 KMS11 cells in 150 µl of IMDM, together with 150 µl of
matrigel basement membrane matrix (Becton Dickinson, Bedford, MA).
Treatment was initiated when tumors reached volumes of approximately 200
mm3 at which time mice were randomized to receive 10,30 or 60 mg/kg 4-
aminoT5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-mettiylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one or 5 mM citrate buffer. Dosing was performed daily by gavage and
continued for 21 days. Eight to 10 mice were included in each treatment
group. Calliper measurements were performed twice weekly to estimate
tumor volume, using the formula: 4π/3 x (width/2)2 x (length/2). One way
analysis of variance was used to compare differences between vehicle and 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one treated groups.
Immunoprecipitation and Immunoblotting
[0868] Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed as
described previously. LeBlanc, R. et al., Cancer Res., 2002; 62:4996-5000.
Briefly, tumors from sacrificed mice were immediately homogenized on ice
and lysed in detergent buffer. Clarified ceil extracts (1 mg/sample) were
incubated for 6 hours with C15 FGFR3 antibody, then protein A/G agarose
(Santa Cruz) was added for an additional 2 hours. Immunoblotting was
performed with anti-phosphotylosine antibody, 4G10 to assess
phosphorylated FGFR3, or with anti-FGFR3 (B9) to measure total FGFR3.
Histopathology and Immunonistochemical Analysis
[0869] Tissue samples were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in
paraffin, from which 5 µm histologic sections were cut and stained with
hematoxylin and eosin. Immunonistochemistry (IHC) studies were performed

by indirect immunoperoxidase staining of paraffin tissue sections using a
TechMate500™ BioTek automated immunostainer (Ventana Medical
Systems, Inc., Tucson, AZ) and antibodies recognizing FGFR3 (C15), Ki-67
(Zymed, San Francisco, CA), and cleaved caspase 3 (Signaling Cell
Technology) as previously described.
RESULTS OF FGFR3 AND MULTIPLE MYELOMA STUDIES
Selective Kinase Inhibition of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-{4-methylpiperazin-
1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
[0870] The ability of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one to inhibit exogenous substrate
phosphorylation was tested against a wide range of kinases. The
concentration of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one resulting in a 50% reduction in the
activity of receptor tylosine kinases (IC50) is reported in Table 7. 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
inhibited members of the class 111 RTKs including FLT3, c-Kit, CSF-R1 and
PDGFRα/βwith IC50 values of 0.001-0.21 mM as assessed by in vitro kinase
assays. In addition, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one potently inhibited class IV (FGFR1 and
3) and class V (VEGFR1-4) RTKs with IC50 values of 0.008-0.013 mM. When
similar kinase assays for InsR, EGFR, c-MET, EphA2, TIE2, IGFR1 and
HER2 were performed, significant inhibition was observed only at >1O-fold
higher concentrations. These studies demonstrated that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one is a
selective but multi-targeted inhibitor of class IIl, IV and V RTKs with high
potency against FGFRs.
4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one Inhibits the Growth of WT and Mutant FGFR3
Transformed Cells

[0871 ] The ability of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one to inhibit constitutively activated FGFR3
mutants identified in MM patients (Y373C, G384D, K650E, J807C) was also
tested. Chesi, M. et al, Blood, 2001; 97:729-736; and Ely, S. A. et al.,
Cancer, 2000; 89:445-452. Stable expression of these cDNAs conferred IL-6
independent growth to B9 cells, demonstrating that these mutants ret aln
biologic activity and providing a platform for testing potential FGFR3 inhibitors
against various classes of FGFR3 mutations. To determ ine the effect of 4-
amino-5-fiuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one on FGFR3-mediated cell growth, B9 cells expressing FGFR3-WT,
FGFR3-F384L (a non-transforming polymorphism) and the FGFR3-activated
mutants were grown in increasing concentrations of inhibitor for 48 hours
exposure following which viability was determined by MTT assay (FIG. 23).
As expected, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one potently inhibited the FGF-stimulated growth of WT
and F384L-FGFR3 expressing B9 cells with IC50 values of 25 nM. In addition,
4-amind-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-memylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzirnidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one inhibited proliferation of B9 cells expressing each of the various
activated mutants of FGFR3. Interestingly, there were minimal observed
differences in the sensitivity of the different FGFR3 mutations to 4-amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one,
with the IC50 ranging from 7O-90 nM for each of the various mutations. IL-6
dependent B9 cells 11 containing vector only (B9-MINV) were used to detect
non-specific toxicity. B9-MINV cells were resistant to the inhibitory activity of
4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzirnidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one at concentrations up to 1 µM. These data further confirm the in
vitro kinase data demonstrating inhibition of FGFR3 by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one and indicate
that nonspecific cytotoxic effects are not observed within the effective range of
drug concentration. These results also indicate that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one has potent
activity against a variety of activated mutants of FGFR3 described in MM.

4-Amino-6-fluoro-3-[6-{4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one is Cytotoxic to FGFR3-Expressing Myeloma Cells
[0872] To assess the potential of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one as a
therapeutic agent in MM, the effect of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one on the growth
and survival of human myeloma cell lines was also Investigated. FGFR3
positive cell lines (KMS11, KMS18, OPM2, H929) and the FGFR3 negative
cell lines, U266 and 8226 were incubated with increasing concentrations of 4-
amino-5-fIuoro-3-{6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one and cell viability was monitored (Table 8). 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited cell
proliferation of KMS11 (FGFR3-Y373C) and OPM2 (FGFR3-K650E), and
KMS18 (FGFR3-G384D) cells with IC50 of values of 90 nM (KMS11 and
OPM2) and 550 nM respectively. FGFR3 negative cell lines and H929
(FGFR3-WT), a cell line that harbors a downstream activating mutation of N-
Ras(Chesi, M. et al., Blood, 2001; 97:729-736), were resistant, requiring
greater than 5-fold higher concentrations to inhibit cell growth. Inhibition of
cellular growth was associated with disappearance of downstream ERK1/2
phosphorylation as determined by flow cytometry. The 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one sensitive
cell lines (KMS11, KMS18, OPM2) all demonstrated loss of ERK1/2
phosphorylation in the presence of effective doses of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yllquinolin-2(1H)-one. In contrast,
H929 cells, which displayed minimal cytostatic response to 4-amino-5-fluoro-
3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one,
demonstrated high basal levels of MAP kinase activation as a result of
constitutive Ras activation and showed no change in ERK1/2 phosphorylation,
indicating that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one is acting upstream of Ras.


Listed are MM cell lines and the presence (+) or absence (-) of the t(4;14)
translocation and the FGFR3 mutations. WT denotes the wild-type genotype
and N/D means not determined. The concentration of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one that inhibits
50% viability (IC50) as compared to DMSO control (MTT assay or Cell titer
Glo) after 72 hours incubation with 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-
1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoiin-2(1H)-one was determined.
[0873] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one also induced apoptosis in responsive FGFR3
expressing cell lines. Treatment of KMS11, OPM2, and KMS18 cells with 500
nM 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one for 96 hours resulted in a significant increase in the
percentage of annexin-V binding cells when compared to DMSO controls
(FIG. 24). The delayed induction of apoptosis observed in some myeloma cell
lines is similar to that previously reported with the more selective FG FR3
inhibitor, PD173074. Trudel, S. et al., Blood, 2004; 103:3521-3528.
Treatment of FGFR3-negative' cells (U266 not shown) had no effect on
annexin V-binding suggesting that class III and V RTKs that can potentially be
inhibited by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzirnidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one are not expressed or are not essential for survival of
these myeloma cells.
[0874] The cytotoxic potential of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was assessed
against primary human myeloma cells. Freshly isolated BM mononuclear
cells were obtained from patients previously identified by FISH as t(4;14)

positive or negative. Chang, H. et al., Br. J. Haematol., 2004; 125:64-68. The
presence or absence of FGFR3 expression was confirmed by flow cytometry
(FIG. 25A). Of the five t(4;14) positive samples, all but one demonstrated
high level expression of FGFR3 on CD138 positive myeloma cells (Table 8).
In addition, these samples were screened by DHPLC for FGFR3 mutations
and downstream mutations of N and K-Ras. Results were confirmed by
sequence analysis. No mutations were identified. FGF stimulation of primary
cells in culture resulted in upregulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation in CD138
positive myeloma cells demonstrating biological activity of FGFR3 in these
cells (FIG. 25B). 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiDerazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at 500 nM fully Inhibited ERK1/2
phosphorylation in all samples. In addition, mononuclear cells were cultured
with 500 nM 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one or DMSO vehicle and apoptosis was determined by
annexin V staining. Four of five t(4;14) myeloma samples demonstrated a
cytotoxic response to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one when compared to vehicle control
whereas none of the other myeloma samples were affected (FIGS. 25C and
12D and Table 9). Interestingly, the t(4;14) positive sample that demonstrated
low level FGFR3 expression was 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one resistant implylng that only high
level of WT FGFR3 expression can confer dependence. Support for this
hypothesis is provided by studies of c-KIT (Rubin, B. P. et al., Cancer Res.,
2001; 61:8118-8121) in gastrointestinal tumors and FLT3 (Armstrong, S. A. et
al., Cancer Cell, 2003; 3:173-183) in AML where high level expression of the
WT receptor, as well as receptor mutation, lead to constitutive activity and
inhibitor sensitivity. Furthermore, sensitivity to Herceptin in breast cancer
correlates with the level of HER2/neu expression. Vogel, C. L et al., J. Clin.
Oncol., 2002; 20:719-726. Alternatively, MM cells from this patient may have
activation of additional pathways, that circumvent dependency on FGFR3
signaling.


FGFR3 expression on CD138 primary MM cells was analyzed by flow
cytometry and the fluorescence was expressed as follows: +, weak; ++
intermediate; +++ strong; -, absent CD138 selected cells were screened for
the FGFR3 and N and K-Ras mutations. WT denotes wild-type status and
N/D indicates not determined.
Effect of IL-6, IGF-1 and Stroma on Response of MM cells to 4-Amino-5-
fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-
one
[0875] Given the known role of IL-6(Klein, B. er al., Blood, 1995;
85:863-872; and Anderson, K. C. et al., Semin. Hematol, 1999; 36:14-20) and
more recently, IGF-1 (Ogawa, M. et al., Cancer Res., 2000; 60:4262-4269;
and Mitsiades, C. S. et al., Cancer Celt, 2004; 5:221-230) in tumor cell
proliferation, survival and drug resistance in MM, experiments were performed
to determine whether exogenous IL-6 and IGF-1 could overcome the growth
inhibitory effects produced by 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one. Inhibition with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-2(1H)-one was still
observed when KMS11 cells were grown in the presence of 50 ng/ml IL-6 or
50 ng/ml IGF-1 and was comparable to that of cells cultured in the presence
of aFGF (FIG. 26A). These studies highlight the critical role of FGFR3
function in the hierarchy of growth factor receptors in these cells.

[0876] Because the BM microenvironment has been shown to confer
drug resistance in MM cells (Dalton, W. S. et al, Semin Hematol., 2004; 41:1-
5; and Hideshima, T. et al, Semin. Oncol., 2001; 28:607-612), the effect of 4-
amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzirnidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one on MM cell growth was investigated in the BM milieu. The direct
toxicity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one on BMSCs was determined using the MTT assay, and
no significant difference in cell viability of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one treated cells
compared to DMSO controls (FIG. 26B) was observed. KMS11 cells were
then cultured with or without BMSCs in the presence or absence of 4-amino-
5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-
one. BMSCs did confer a modest degree of resistance with 44.6% growth
inhibition for cells treated with 500 nM 4-aminq-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one and cultured
on stroma compared to with 71.6% growth inhibition for cells grown without
BMSCs. However, cell growth was still significantly inhibited by the 4-amino-
5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
despite the presence of stroma.
4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one Augments Dexamethasone Cytotoxicity in Multiple
Myeloma
[0877] FGFR3 expression results in increased STAT3 phosphorylation
and higher levels of BCI-XL expression than that observed in parental B9 cells
after IL-6 withdrawas. Plowright, E. E. et al, Blood, 2000; 95:992-998; and
Pollett, J. B. et al., Blood, 2002; 100:3819-3821. These findings were
associated with inhibition of dexamethasone-induced apoptosis, a
phenomenon that was reversed by BCI-XL anti-sense oligonucleotide.
Treatment of FGFR3 expressing MM cells may, thus overcome resistance to
dexamethasone. As shown in Table 10, KMS11 cells are relatively resistant
to dexamethasone; however, when combined with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-

methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one, synergistic
inhibitory effects were observed. These data indicates the usefulness of
combining dexamethasone with 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-
yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl|quinolin-2(1H)-one as a therapeutic strategy.

4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-{4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one Inhibits M-CSF Mediated Ceil Growth
[0878] Osteolytic bone loss is one of the major complications in MM.
The major osteoclast activating factors involved in bone resorption are IL-1β,
IL-6, RANK-L and M-CSF. Croucher, P. I. et al., Br. J. Haemaatol., 1998;
103:902-910. MM cells, osteoblasts and stromal cells in the BM express M-
CSF which together with RANK-L is essential for osteoclast formation. Quinn,
J. M. et al., Endocrinology, 1998; 139:4424-4427. Increased serum
concentrations of MCSF have been detected in MM patients. Janowska-
Wieczorek, A. et al., Blood, 1991; 77:1796-1803. In vitro kinase assays
demonstrate potent activity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yF]quinolin-2(1H)-one against CSF-1R, the only known
receptor for M-CSF with an IC50 of 36 nM (Table 7). 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited
proliferation of M-NFS-60, a M-CSF growth driven mouse myeloblastic cell
line with an EC50 of 220 nM (FIG. 27). It would appear, therefore, that in
addition to inhibiting MM cell growth, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one has the
advantage of potentially inhibiting tumor-associated osteolysis.

Evaluation of 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one in vivo in a Xenograft Mouse Model
[0879] The efficacy of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one was tested in a murine model in
which KMS11 cells are injected subcutaneously into BNX mice. Grad, J. M. et
al., Blood,2001; 805-813; and Lentzsch, S.et al., Leukemia, 2003; 17:41-44.
A similar plasmacytoma xenograft mouse model has been used in pre-clinical
studies of Bortezomib and IMiDs in MM. Each of 36 BNX mice were injected
in the flank with 3 x 107 KMS11 cells together with matrigel by s.c. injection.
When the tumors reached.approximately 200 mm3, mice were randomized
(n=8-10) to receive vehicle or 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-
1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one at 10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 60
mg/kg, administered by oral gavage once daily for 21 days. When compared
to vehicle controls, a significant (p all three 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl]-1H-benzimidazoI-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one dose groups with a minimum effective dose of 10
mg/kg/d (FIG, 28). Specifically, 48%, 78.5% and 94% growth inhibition was
calculated in the 10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg treatment arms,
respectively, compared to the placebo treated mice. On the last day of
dosing, 7 of 10 mice in the highest treatment group had achieved and
maintained a partial remission with > 50% reduction in tumor volumes
compared to day 1 of drug administration. Weight loss, as a marker of
significant toxicity, was not observed in any of the treatment groups.
[0880] To demonstrate that the observed responses correlated with
FGFR3 inhibition, mice were sacrificed 4 hours after receiving the last dose of
4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-
2(1H)-one and tumors were harvested for analysis of in vivo inhibition of
FGFR3 phosphorylation. FGFR3 was immunoprecipitated from tumor cell
lysates and the level of expression and phosphorylation was determined on
immunoblots. In vivo inhibition of FGFR3 was observed, with complete
inhibition of FGFR3 occurring at the 60 mg/kg dose. Inhibition of FGFR3

phosphorylation was dose dependent and correlated with the anti-tumor
response.
[0881] Histopathologic examination of the tumors from representative
animals further supported the interpretation of tumor reduction in the drug-
treated rhice compared to the placebo controls. Tumors from the drug-treated
mice showed large areas of tumor necrosis. Immunonistochemistry for
expression of the proliferative antigen, Ki-67, and for cleaved caspase 3,
demonstrated that 4-aminb-5-flu6ro-3-{6-(4-methylpipera2in-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one inhibited dell growth and induced
apoptosis. These findings suggest that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one induces both
cytostatic and cytotoxic responses in vivo resulting in regression of FGFR3
expressing tumors.
DISCUSSION OF FGFR3 INHIBITION AND MULTIPLE MYELOMA
EXAMPLES
[0882] The identification of recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities in MM
and characterization of the translocation partners has identified novel
molecular targets and presents the potential for molecular targeted therapy for
this universally fatal disease. Kuehl, W. M. et al., Nat Rev Cancer, 2002;
2:175-187; and Chesi, M. etal., Nat Genet, 1997; 16:26O-265. Nearly 20%
of newly diagnosed cases of MM harbor the t(4; 14) translocation as detected
by the presence of IgH-MMSET hybrid transcript (Santra, M. et al., Blood,
2003; 101:2374-2376), the presence of which has generally been reported to
be associated with a poor-prognosis. Fonseca, R. et at., Blood, 2003;
101:4569-4575; Keats, J. J.et al., Blood, 2003; 101:152O-1529; Moreau, P. et
al., Blood, 2002; 100:1579-1583.; and Chang, H. et al., Br. J. Haematol.,
2004; 125:64-68. FGFR3 is expressed in approximately 70% (Keats, J. J. et
al., Blood, 2003; 101:152O-1529; and Quinn, J. M. et at., Endocrinology, 1998;
139:4424-4427) of these cases and 10% (Intini, D. et al., Br. J. Haematol.,

2001; 114:362-364) of patients will acquire an activating mutation of FGFR3
with disease progression.
[0883] An understanding of the genetic defects that are causally
implicated in oncogenesis has led to targeted therapy for the treatment of a
number of cancers. Druker, B. J. et al., N. Engl J. Med., 2001; 344:1031-
1037; Demetri, G. D. et al., N.Engl. J. Med., 2002; 347:472-480; Slamon, D.
J. et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2001; 344:783-792; and Smith, B. D. et al., Blood,
2004; 103:3669-3676. Most notably, the inhibitionof BCR-ABL kinase activity
by STI571 has produced major cytogenetic remissions in chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML). Druker, B. J. et al., N. Engl. J. Med., 2001;
344:1031-1037. Inhibition of activated c-Kit in gastrointestinal stromal tumors
by STI571 has also been effective against this chemoresistant tumor.
Demetri, G. D.et al., N. Engl. J. Med., 2002; 347:472-480. In addition,
Herceptin, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2/neu, has resulted In
improved chemotherapy responses and prolonged survival of breast cancer
patients. Slamon, D. J. et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 2001; 344:783-792. A similar
kinase inhibitor strategy targeting FLT3 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is
also showing promising results in Phase II clinical trial. Smith, B. D. et al.,
Blood, 2004; 103:3669-3676. Pre-clinical studies of FGFR3 inhibition in t(4;14) myeloma have likewise Identified this RTK as a plausible candidate for
targeted therapy. Two antagonists of FGFR3, PD173074 and SU5402
inhibited the growth and induced apoptosis of MM cells expressing mutant
FGFR3. Trudel, S. et al., Blood, 2004; 103:3521-3528; Paterson, J. L et al.,
Br. J. Haematol., 2004; 124:595-603; and Grand ,E. K. et al., Leukemia, 2004;
18:962-966. Together these studies support the clinical development of
FGFR3 inhibitors for these patients. Unfortunately, PD173074 is not a
candidate compound for the clinic and the IC50 of SU5402, required to inhibit
FGFR3 is not likely to the achieved in vivo.
10884] 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-beniimidazol-
2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one is a potent inhibitor of FGFR3 and class IIl, IV and V
RTKs including, FLT3, c-Kit, c-Fms, PDGFR and VEGFR. In this study, 4-

amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
2(1H)-one was demonstrated to be a highly active inhibitor of both WT and
mutant FGFR3 17 tylosine kinases. The activity of this inhibitor against a
broad spectrum of RTKs implies that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yllquinolin-2(1H)-one requires less
stringent conformation requirements for binding to the kinase domain and is
consistent with the ret alned activity of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimkJazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one against many
FGFR3 mutants. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one treatment selectively induced apoptotic
cell death of MM cell lines and primary patient samples that harbor FGFR3.
The potential clinical application of 4-amino-5-fiuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-
1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one for the treatment of MM was
further validated using a xenograft mouse model in which 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one treatment
inhibited FGFR3 activity in vivo and produced tumor regression and
significantly decrease disease progression.
[0885] Although the data suggests that FGFR3 is the primary target of
4-aminb-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one in MM cells, it is important to note that OPM2 cells responded to
this broadly active RTK inhibitor when they did not respond to the more
selective FGFR3 inhibitor PD173074. Trudel, S. et al., Blood, 2004;
103:3521-3528;and Paterson, J. L et al, Br. J. Haematol., 2004; 124:595-
603. This cell line is characterized by high basal levels of AKT
phosphorylation (data not shown) and biallelic PTEN deletion. Consistent
with our results, Grand et al: demonstrated that the multi-targeted RTK
inhibitor, SU5402 induced cytotoxic responses in OPM2 cells whereas
PD173074 failed to induce apoptosis. Grand ,E. K. et al., Leukemia, 2004;
18:962-966. These findings also raise the possibility that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-
[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one is
targeting other, as yet to be defined, targets important for myeloma cell

viability, a fact that is of further relevance given the demonstration that FGFR3
is sometimes lost during disease progression and may, therefore, be
supplanted by other downstream signaling mediators.
[0886] With the latter point in mind, it is important to note that the
clinical relevance of FGFR3 in t(4;14) myeloma has been questioned by
observations that the der(14) chromosome is lost in some myeloma patients
suggesting that FGFR3 is dispensible and that MMSET is the true causal
target of t(4;14) in MM. Keats, J. J. et al., Blood, 2003; 101:152O-1529; and
Intini, D.et al., Br. J. Haematol., 2001; 114:362-364. Moreover, studies in
model systems indicate that WT FGFR3 is not dominantly transforming,
requiring additional cooperating oncogenic events to complement
transformation. Chesi, M. et al., Blood, 2001; 97:729-736; and Li, Z. et al.,
Blood, 2001; 97:2413-2419. The data presented above, however, indicates
that primary MM cells that definitively express FGFR3 remain dependent on
this pathway for survival despite the presence of additional genetic events. It
is likely, therefore, that FGFR3 acts in concert with TACC3 and MMSET
providing survival signals through the stimulation by FGF ligands expressed in
the BM microenvironment Along these lines, FLT3 mutations and high level
expression of FLT3 have been described in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
where MLL, a gene similar to MMSET, is also expressed. Armstrong, S. A. et
al., Cancer Cell, 2003; 3:173-183. These observations suggest a possible
mechanism of complementation between tylosine kinases and trithorax
genes.
[0887] Studies of FGFR3 inhibition in MM cell lines indicated that only
cell lines expressing the constitutively active receptor responded to FGFR3
inhibition. Trudel, S. et al., Blood, 2004; 103:3521 -3528; and Paterson, J. L
et al., Br. J. Haematol., 2004; 124:595-603. This highlights the limitation of
using MM cell lines that grow independently of BM microenvironment and,
thus, are no longer reliant on FGF produced by the stroma for growth and
survival. Studies using primary patient material are therefore critical. The
cytotoxic effect demonstrated by primary MM cells exposed to 4-amino-5-

fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one
indicates that this drug will be an effective therapy in patients expressing
either WT or mutant FGFR3. Nevertheless, the only modest and delayed
cytotoxic response to 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-{6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one observed in primary MM cells may, imply
that inhibition of WT FGFR3 does not itself introduce proapoptotic signal, but
more likely results in the withdrawal of strong anti-apoptotic signals. One
would predict, therefore, the most effective use of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one may be in
combination with chemotherapeutic agents such as dexamethasone as
demonstrated in KMS11 cells.
[0888] The importance of the BM microenvironment in supporting tumor
growth is becoming increasingly clear. Mitsiades, C. S. et al., Cancer Celt,
2004; 5:221-230; and Dalton, W. S. et al, Semin Hematol., 2004; 41:1-5. In
particular, cytokines such as IL-6 and IGF-1 and direct interaction with
BMSCs have been shown to confer drug resistance. The in vitro experiments
demonstrate that these paracrine factors failed to overcome the anti-tumor
effects of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-
yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one. Given its target profile, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one may also
impact host-derived tumor-associated cells within the BM that have
implications in supporting tumor growth. 4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one exhibits potent
anti-angiogenic activity in several angiogenesis assays including endothelial
cell migration and tube formation on fibrin gels as well as in the ex vivo rat
aortic ring assay. Wiesmann, M. et al., ProcAACR, 2003; 44:934a. In
agreement, tumors from 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one treated mice were less vascular when
compared to controls (data not shown). It has been demonstrated that 4-
amino-5-fiuoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazoI-2-yl]quinolin-
2(1H)-one also inhibits CSF-1R activity, the receptor for M-CSF, an osteoclast

activating factor that may contribute to pathogenesis of bone disease in MM.
taken together, the data suggests that 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benamidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one can potentially
target both the MM cell within the BM milieu and the BM microenvironment
directly.
[0889] In summary, 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolm-2(1H)-one represents a novel and potent small
molecule inhibitor of FGFR3 for the treatment of t(4;14) myeloma. The
cytotoxic effects of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-methylpipera2in-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one on MM cell lines and primary patient
samples, and a target profile that suggests the potential to favorably modulate
the BM milieu, lead to the prediction that this will be an effective therapy in
this poor prognosis group, particularly in combination therapies. The ultimate
success of this therapeutic strategy now awaits the outcome of clinical trials of
that are soon to be underway to evaluate the efficacy of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-
(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one of the
treatment of t(4;14) MM.
TREATMENT OF CANCER AND PHARMACOKINETIC STUDIES
[0890J The antiproliferative activities of 4-amino-5-fluoro-3-[6-(4-
methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl]quinolin-2(1H)-one (compound 1)
were tested against a large number of cancer cell lines and primary non-
malignant cell lines. Methods were as follows: Cells were plated in 96-well
plates; after three to five hours gelling time for adherent ceil lines dilutions of
the compounds were added, three days later viable cells were determined by
adding MTS solution (Promega). Absorbance at 490 nm was measured and
EC50 values calculated using non linear regression. For the HMVEC assay,
compounds were incubated with the cells for three days in the presence of
five µg/mL recombinant VEGF. For the SCF/c-KIT assay the TF-1 and H526
cells were incubated for three days in the presence of 40 µg/mL and 100
µg/mL recombinant SCF, respectively. Proliferation was assayed by adding

MTS solution and measuring the absorbance at 490 nm. EC50S were
calculated by non-linear regression. Results are shown in Table 11.
[0891 ] In a subset of the cancer cell lines and the endothelial cells,
proliferation was inhibited with EC50 dependence on an RTK targeted by compound 1 (MV4; 11: expression of
constitutively active FLT3; HMVEC: VEGFR2 mediated proliferation; TF-1: c-
KIT mediated proliferation) with the exception of the KM12L4a cell line. Even
though this cell line does express some of the targeted RTKs (e.g., VEGFR ½
and PDGFR determined by RT-PCR), experiments showed that the inhibition
of these individual RTKs does not fully explain the potent antiproliferative
effects observed with compound 1. This finding suggests that either the
inhibition of multiple RTKs or as yet unidentified effects may be responsible
for the antiproliferative effect mediated by compound 1 in this cell line.
[0892] The majority of cell lines showed an antiproliferative response
when incubated with compound 1 with EC50S between 1 and 10 µM including
two primary cell lines HMEC (human normal mammary epithelial cells) and
PrEC (normal human prostate epithelial cells). Consistent with in vitro results,
the growth of both the KM12L4a and MV4;11 xenografts in mice were potently
inhibited by compound 1 in vivo.


Identification of Metabolites
[0893] Two metabolites of compound 1 were identified and partially
characterized in pooled rat plasma from a 2 week toxicology study. Day 1
and day 14 dosed animal plasmas were analyzed by UV and LC/MS from
once a day 30 or 80 mg/kg, PO, dose groups. The two identified metabolites
were the piperazine N-oxide compound (compound 2) and the N-
demethylated compound (compound 3) (see following procedures for
synthesis and characterization of these compounds). Estimated levels of the

metabolites (based on UV absorbance and in comparison to known levels of
compound 1 quantified in the same samples from previous analyses) are
given in Table 12. The N-desmethyl metabolite was found to be in
substantially lower abundance than compound 1 in all samples of post dosed
pooled plasmas. The N-oxide metabolite was observed to be present in lower
abundance than compound 1 except at 24 hours on day 14 in the 80 mg/kg
dose group and 1-2 hours on day 1 in the 30 mg/kg dose group (Table 12).
The metabolic profile does not change with dose or duration of dose.
Generally the metabolite levels increase in tandem with compound 1 levels
with dose escalation.

[0894] With both dose groups the duration of dose, Day 1 vs 14, does
not appear to result in an increase in plasma levels of metabolites alone
(Table 12) or as compared to compound 1 levels. Compound 1 levels
decrease with duration of dose and this is reflected by a decrease in
metabolite levels as well. This suggests that if induction is occurring, it is not
reflected in increased metabolism of compound 1 to these two circulating
phase I metabolites. The day 14,24 hr samples contained compound 1 and

metabolites at lower levels than the 24 hour samples on day 1 indicating that
there is no accumulation of metabolites or compound 1 with a once a day
dosage regimen of 30 or 80 mg/kg. The N-oxide metabolite is present in
higher abundance than the N-desmethyl metabolite at all assayed time points
in the 80 mg/kg dose group and in all but the 24 hr time points after day 1 in
the 30 mg/kg dose group. The N-desmethyl metabolite levels appear to fall
more slowly than that of compound 1 suggesting a longer T1/2 and indicating
that the plasma levels of this metabolite are likely determined by its rate of
elimination and not its rate of formation as is, in contrast, likely for the N-
oxide.

1: Metabolite levels estimated based on metabolite UV absorbance areas in
comparison to compound 1 UV areas and using previously reported compound 1
levels. 2: Compound 1 levels previously quantified in a separate study from the
same plasma samples analyzed herein.
IC50s of Compounds 1-3
[0895] The kinase activity of a number of protein tylosine kinases was
measured using the procedures set forth above for Compounds 1-3 to provide
the IC50 values shown in Table 13.



Oral Dosing in the KM12L4a Human Colon Tumor Model
[0896] This single agent study evaluated daily oral dosing of compound
1 in the KM12L4a human colon tumor model.
[0897] Female Nu/Nu mice, aged 7-8 weeks (Charles River), were
implanted with 2x106 KM12L4a cells subcutaneously in the right flank.
Treatment began 7 days later when average tumor volume was 125mm3.
This was designated as study day 1. Compound 1 was formulated as a
solution in 10 mM H3PO4 and administered by oral gavage.
[0898] Seven treatment groups were included in the study,
(n=10/group): vehicle (water) p.o., q.d.; and six groups of compound 1 doses:
3,10, 30,100,200, 300 mg/kg p.o., q.d.
[0899] Plasma samples were drawn from satellite animals in each dose
group on various days to characterize the pharmacokinetics of compound 1 in
tumor-bearing mice (N=2/timepoint/dose group). Tissue and tumor
concentrations of compound 1 were determined in samples collected from
animals in the 100 and 200 mg/kg dose group at 8 and 24 hours post-dose on
Day 22 (N=2/timepoint/dose group).

[0900] Plasma compound 1 concentrations were determined by a non-
validated LC/MS/MS assay with a calibration range of 1 to 8000 µg/mL and a
lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of i µg/mL (Charles River Laboratories,
Worcester, MA. Tissue and tumor compound 1 concentrations were also
determined using a non-validated LC/MS/MS assay with a calibration range of
20 to 43740 µg/g and a LLOQ of 20 µg/g.
[0901] Composite pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax and AUC) were
obtained using standard noncompartmental analysis from mean plasma
compound concentration-time data in each dose group on each sampling day
(WinNonlin Professional, version 4). The reported AUC values were
determined using 3 concentration-time data points. Predose concentration
values were reported as these observed immediately prior to dosing.
[0902] Significant dose-dependent inhibition in tumor growth was
observed at all doses by 4-7 days of treatment (see Table 14). The calculated
ED50 was 17 mg/kg. Tumor regressions of > 50% of initial size were observed
in the majority of mice dosed with compound 1 at 200 and 300 mg/kg,
however these doses were hot tolerated for the entire study duration. By days
12-16, mice treated with 300 mg/kg lost 2O-30% bodyweight and were
euthanized. In those treated with 200 mg/kg, 1 of 10 was euthanized on day
14 with 22% wt loss, and the remaining mice were euthanized days 21-24
with > 25% weight loss. Mice were dosed for 37 days with 100 mg/kg and
remained at 98% of initial weight; tumors remained stable at this dose (FIG.
29). The vehicle group was taken down on day 9, and tumor growth inhibition
(TGI) was calculated. (Table 14).


[0903] On the second day of dosing (Day 2), plasma concentrations of
compound 1 increased proportionally with dose (Table 15) in all dosing
groups. Following multiple dosing for at least 2 weeks, plasma concentrations
were comparable to those on Day 2, suggesting no accumulation upon once
daily dosing in mice (Table 15). Similarly, predose plasma concentration of
compound 1 collected on Days 3, 8, and 15 were similar within each dose
group, suggesting that steady state was reached after Day 2. Therefore,
these data suggest that compound 1 follows dose-and time-independent
pharmacokinetics in tumor-bearing mice.
[0904] Tumor growth inhibition of 35-60% was observed at doses of 10
and 30 mg/kg, respectively. The corresponding plasma exposure of
compound 1, as assessed by Cmax and AUC values, ranged from 163-742
ng/mL and 142O-5540 ng*hr/mL, respectively (FIG. 30). The corresponding
plasma predose concentration values ranged from 2-135 ng/mL


[0905] Tissue concentrations of compound 1 on Day 22 were higher
than those in plasma in the 100 and 200 mg/kg dose groups at each of the
two sampling times (8 and 24 hours postdose) (Table 16). Brain or heart
concentrations of compound 1 were 13- to 34-fold higher than those in
plasma; whereas liver, lung, and kidney concentrations were 4O- to 126-fold
higher than those in plasma at 8 or 24 hours postdose in these two dose
groups. In general, the ratio of tissue-to-plasma concentrations at 8 hours

was comparable to that at 24 hours. Furthermore, tissue concentrations at 24
hours were consistently lower compared to those at 8 hours. Taken together,
these results suggest that tissue concentrations of compound 1 appeared to
decline in parallel with those in plasma. Therefore, compound 1 appears to
be widely distributed into tissues (including brain) relative to plasma but does
not accumulate in tissues following multiple oral dosing.

[0906] Tumor compound 1 concentrations on Day 22 were 37- to 354-
fold higher than those in plasma in the 100 and 200 mg/kg dose groups at
each of the two sampling times (8 and 24 hours postdose). However, tumor
concentrations at 24 hours were only 17 to 65% lower than those at 8 hours
postdose in these two dose groups suggesting a somewhat slower elimination
rate from tumors compared to that from other normal tissues (such as, brain,
heart, liver, lung, and kidneys). Therefore, compound 1 appears to be
extensively distributed to tumors relative to plasma but may exhibit
preferential retention in tumor relative to plasma or normal tissues.
[0907J In summary, the efficacy and tolerability of compound 1 was
dose related, with significant inhibitions after 4 to 7 days of treatment Tumor
regressions were observed at 300 and 200 mg/kg; these doses were tolerated
daily for approximately 14 and 21 days, respectively. Weight loss was the

clinical sign associated with toxicity. Doses of 100 mg/kg were tolerated for
37 days with no adverse clinical signs, with tumor growth inhibition of 80%
compared to control. 30 mg/kg inhibited growth by 60%. Compound 1
demonstrated dose- and time-independent pharmacokinetics in tumor-bearing
mice. Plasma compound 1 Cmax, AUC, and Cmin values associated with 35-
60% tumor growth inhibition ranged from 163-742 ng/mL, 142O-5540
ng*hr/mL, and 2-135 ng/mL, respectively. Compound 1 was distributed widely
to tissues, however did not appear to accumulate in tissues following multiple
oral dosing. There was a trend towards preferential retention of compound 1
in tumors relative to other tissues following oral dosing.
Intermittent Oral Dosing in the PC3 Human Prostata Tumor Model
[0908] This single agent study evaluated intermittent oral dosing of
compound 1 in the PC3 human prostate tumor model.
[0909] SCID mice were implanted with PC3 human prostate cells
subcutaneously. Treatment began when tumors reached 150 mm3. This was
designated as study day 1. Compound 1 was formulated as a solution in
water and administered by oral gavage.
[0910] Five treatment groups were included in the study, (n=
10/group): Vehicle (water) p.o., q.d; and four groups of compound 1 doses of
100 mg/kg q.d., q.2.d., q.3.d., q.4.d.
[0911 ] As shown in Table 17, significant and similar tumor inhibition
results were observed in all treatment groups. The study was suspended for
the daily dosing group on day 11. The study was terminated on study day 25
for the remaining groups and mean tumor volume was measured and
compared to vehicle. As a clinical indication of toxicity percentage weight loss
was measured for each group.


Synthesis of 4-Amino-5-fIuoro-3-[5-{4-methyl-4-oxidopiperazin-1-yl)-1H-
benzimidazol-2-yl]quinoIin-2(1H)-one (Compound 2) and 4-Amino-5-
fluoro-3-(5-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)quinolin-2(1H)-one
(Compound 3)
[0912] To confirm the structures of the identified metabolites of
compound 1, the metabolites were independently synthesized.
[0913] Compound 2, the N-oxide metabolite of compound 1, was
synthesized as shown in the scheme below. Compound 1 was heated in a
mixture of ethanol, dimethylacetamide and hydrogen peroxide. Upon
completion of the reaction, compound 2 was isolated by filtration and washed
with ethanol. If necessary, the product could be further purified by column
chromatography.


[0914] Compound 3, the N-desmethyl metabolite of compound 1, was
synthesized as shown in the scheme below. 5-Chloro-2-nitroaniline was
treated with piperazine to yleld 4 which was subsequently protected with a
butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) group to yleld 5. Reduction of the nitro group followed
by condensation with 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropionic acid ethyl ester gave 6.
Condensation of 6 with 6-fluoroanthranilonitrile using potassium
hexamethyldisilazide as the base ylelded 7. Crude 7 was treated with
aqueous HCI to yleld the desired metabolite as a yellow/brown solid after
purification.

Model Evaluation
[0915] This study evaluated the antiangiogenic potential of compound 1
in the FGF supplemented Matrigel model.

[0916] Female BDF1 mice, aged 11.-12 weeks (Charles River,
Wilmington, MA), were subcutaneously implanted with 0.5 ml_ Matrigel (BD
Brosciences, Bedford, MA) supplemented with 2µg FGF-2. The FGF-2
supplemented blood vessel formation (neovascularization or angiogenesis)
was quantified by measuring hemoglobin levels in the Matrigel plugs following
their removal from the animals.
[0917] Oral administration of test article began one day prior to Matrigel
implantation and continued once daily for eight doses. Compound 1 was
formulated as a solution in 10 mM H3PO4. Twelve treatment groups were
included: vehicle (10 mM H3PO4) p.o., q.d.x 8 days (2 control groups; mice
implanted with unsupplemented Matrigel (baseline hemoglobin level) or FGF-
supplemented Matrigel (positive control); compound 1 dosed at 3,10,30,100,
200,300 mg/kg p.o., q.d. x 8 days. There were 8 mice per group, except for
mice dosed at 200 and 300 mg/kg, which were 4 per group.
[0918] Percent inhibition of hemoglobin levels in compound-treated
mice compared to mice treated with vehicle indicates the antiangiogenic
potency of the compound. Results are expressed as total hemoglobin
(mg/dL) per Matrigel plug. The ED50 is defined as the dose that effectively
inhibits angiogenesis by approximately 50%. Hemoglobin concentrations were
determined in homogenized Matrigel plugs removed from mice and flash
frozen, using absorbance spectroscopy with Drabkin's reagent (Sigma
Diagnostics, St. Louis MO).
[0919] To evaluate plasma exposures of compound 1, blood was
collected 2 and 24 hours after 8 consecutive doses (Day 8). In the 200 and
300 mg/kg dose groups, blood was collected only at the 2 hour timepoint.
Plasma concentrations of 1 were determined by a non-validated LC/MS/MS
assay with a calibration range of 1 to 8000 µg/mL and a lower limit of
quantitation (LLOQ) of 1 µg/mL (Charles River Laboratories, Worcester, MA).

[0920] On Day 8, hemoglobin levels in Matrigel plugs and plasma
concentrations of compound 1 were measured. Animals were observed and
body weights were measured throughout the study.
[0921] Compound 1 resulted in significant inhibition of hemoglobin
concentration in Matrigel plugs at each dose evaluated compared to plugs
from vehicle treated animals (Table 18). The calculated ED50 was 2.6 mg/kg.
The 3 and 10 mg/kg doses resulted in 54% and 57% inhibition, respectively,
whereas the 30,100,200 and 300 mg/kg doses reduced hemoglobin to the
level of unsupplemented Matrigel, resulting in 7O-92% inhibition vs. FGF-
supplemented controls. The plasma concentrations of compound 1 at 2 hours
post dose on day 8, showed a dose proportional increase with concentrations
ranging from 44 µg/mL at 3 mg/kg to 3920 µg/mL at 300 mg/kg (Table 19). All
doses were well tolerated and no weight loss was observed.



[0922] Plasma concentrations of 1 (2 hrpostdose) increased
proportionally with dose. A dose and plasma concentration dependent
reduction in hemoglobin content of Matrigel plugs was observed. Plasma
concentrations (2 hr postdose, Day 8) of 44 µg/mL appear to be associated
with antiangiogenic activity in this model.
[0923] In summary, the hemoglobin inhibition of compound 1 was dose-
dependent , with significant inhibition after 8 days of treatment. Statistically
significant hemoglobin inhibition was observed with all doses of compound 1.
All doses were well tolerated with no weight loss or adverse clinical signs
observed. Compound 1 plasma concentrations (2 hr postdose) of 44 µg/mL
were associated with antiangiogenic activity in this model.
Monkey Multiple Oral Dose Experiment
[0924] The metabolite profile of compound 1 in monkey plasma from a
5 mg/kg BID multiple oral dose study was determined in dose day 1 and 14
samples. One metabolite was identified and characterized by LC/UV and
LD/MS/MS resulting from demethylation (compound 3). Parent (P) compound
1 produced an M+H+ ion at m/z = 393.3 with a chromatographic retention time
of 18.3 minutes. The demethylated metabolite (P-CH3) was identified with an
m/z = 379.3 (M+H+) and a chromatographic retention time of 18.1 min. The

mass difference of 14 daltons between the metabolite and compound 1 is
consistent with a demethylated compound 1. The mass and chromatographic
retention of the metabolite was identical to independently synthesized
compound 3. The metabolite corresponding to the piperazine N-oxide of
compound 1 (N-oxide compound 2) was not detected in plasma at this dose
level. The components producing a UV signal at 17.7 and 18.5 minutes in the
absorbance chromatogram at 356 nm were determined to be matrix
components and not metabolites based on the UV spectral comparisons to
compound 1 and due to their presence in blank plasma (time 0 dose day 1).
[0925] The estimated levels of the demethylated metabolite are given in
Table 20. The estimated levels of metabolites (in compound 1 equivalents)
are based on UV absorbance peak height ratios of metabolite to that of
compound 1 obtained in this analysis and extrapolated by factoring the
absorbance ratio to the known levels of compound 1 determined in the same
samples in a previous quantitative analytical study. It was found that parent
compound was in greater abundance than the metabolite at all pooled time
points. The levels of compound 1 were found to be substantially lower in the
day 14 samples in parallel with the N-desmethyl metabolite which was
essentially undetectable. No other metabolites including conjugated Phase II
type metabolites (glucuronide or sulphate) were detected in these plasma
samples on day 1 or 14 of dose administration.


Pharmacodynamic Enpoint Analysis
[0926] Studies with plasma and tumors collected from mice following
treatment with compound 1 were performed to evaluate potential
pharmacodynamic endpoints. Analysis of target modulation in KM12L4a
tumors after compound 1 treatment indicated that phosphorylation of
VEGFR1, VEGFR2, PDGFRβ, and FGFR1 were inhibited in a time- and dose-
dependent manner. For example, HMVEC cells showed inhibition of VEGF
mediated VEGFR2 phosphorylation with an IC50 of about 0.1 µM. In addition,
treatment of endothelial cells with compound 1 inhibited MAPK and Akt
phosphorylation mediated by VEGF.
[0927] Furthermore, a time- and dose- dependent inhibition of ERK
(MAPK) activation, a downstream target of receptor tylosine kinases, was
observed with IC50s ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 µM in KM12L4A cells. (KM12L4A
cells express PDGFRβ and VEGFR1/2 on their surfaces.) KM12L4A cells
were incubated 3 hours with compound 1 in serum-free DMEM. After the

harvest, lysates were separated by SDS-Page and probed with the phosphor-
ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 antibodies. For detection, ECL reagents (Amersham)
were used. The inhibitory effects of compound 1 on receptor phosphorylation
and ERK activation were maintained for 24 hours after treatment.
Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in MV4-11 cells was inhibited by 1 at IC50S of 0.01
to 0.1 µM in a dose-dependent manner.
[0928] Significant activity was observed in vivo in the HCT116 human
colon tumor model. In HCT116 tumors, compound 1 inhibited the
phosphorylation of ERK (MAPK) in a dose- and time-dependent manner and
significant changes in histology analyses of the tumors was observed.
[0929] These PK/PD evaluations in preclinical models indicate that
compound 1 showed a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of both the target
receptors and the downstream signaling molecule, ERK (MAPK). These
studies will aid in the identification of potential biomarkers to support the
monitoring of biological activity of compound 1 in clinical trials.
Tissue Distribution
[0930] The distribution of radioactivity in tissues after administration of
a single oral (PO) dose (5 mg/kg) of 14C-labeled compound 1 to male and
female Sprague Dawley (SD) rats was determined by whole-body
autoradiography (WBA). Blood and carcasses for WBA were collected at
specified time points through 24 hours postdose. Plasma was analyzed for
concentration of radioactivity by liquid scintillation counting (LSC).
[0931] Following oral administration of 14C-1, radioactivity derived from
14C-1 was widely distributed throughout ail tissues by 1 hour postdose, and
had reached Cmax in most tissues by 4 hours postdose. Overall distribution of
radioactivity in the tissues of males and females was similar. 14C-1-derived
radioactivity was cleared more slowly from tissues than from plasma. In
males and females, the highest tissue concentrations of 14C-1, excluding the
gastrointestinal tract through 24 hours were detected in the harderian gland,

adrenal gland, renal medulla, intra-orbital lacrimal gland, and exorbital
lacrimal gland. 14C-1-derived radioacitivity crossed the blood/brain barrier
after oral dose administration.
