~ NONCLASSICAL PYRROLO~2,3-DlPYRIMIDINE ANTIFOLATES


The invention relates generally to the fields
of pharmaceutical and synthetic organic chemistry.
Specifically, the invention relates to the field of
antifolate compounds which are useful in the treatment of
various diseases.
Through a mechanism of enzyme catalyzed
reactions, folic acid is used by a number of cells to
fuel cell replication. Antifolate compounds mimic folic
acid and its derived cofactors when taken up in a cell.
Antifolates interact with various folate requiring
enzymes in cells to eventually cause the inhibition of
cell replication. Antifolate compounds are known to be
useful in the treatment of cancer by providing a means to
terminate the growth of malignant cells.
Classical antifolate compounds, such as the
multi-targeted antifolate LY 231514 (N-[4-[2-(2-amino-3H-
4-oxo-pyrrolo[2,3-D]pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyl]benzoyl]-L-
glutamic acid)




HN ~ H ~ ~ N - CHCH~CH~C-OH

* the configuration around this carbon is L

(U.S. Patent No. 5,334,932), have a glutamic acid moiety
in the natural or "L" configuration on one end of the
molecule. Upon entry of a classical antifolate into a
cell, the enzyme folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS)

CA 02263907 1999-02-23

W098l08382 PCT~S97/15017


causes a polyglutamation reaction to take place at the
glutamic acid end of the antifolate. The polyglutamated
antifolate then can interact with other folate requiring
enzymes such as dihydrofolate reductase ~DHFR),
glycinamide ribonucleotide formyl transferase (GARFT)
and/or thymidylate synthase (TS). Interaction of the
polyglutamated antifolate with DHFR and/or GARFT and/or
TS and/or other folate utilizing enzymes eventually leads
to inhibition of cell replication.
It has been observed that efficacy, in terms of
inhibiting cell replication, of classical antifolates can
decrease with continued use of the antifolate. One
possible explanation for this observed phenomenon is that
malignant cells become resistant toward classical
antifolates through impaired (less efficient)
polyglutamation reaction(s). As a polyglutamated
antifolate interacts better with folate requiring enzymes
than does a monoglutamated antifolate, this lack of
polyglutamation could be sufficient to account for the
decline in efficacy.
One way of increasing efficacy, in terms of
inhibiting cell replication, is to provide an antifolate
that does not contain a terminal glutamic acid moiety in
the "L" configuration, thus avoiding the need for
polyglutamation with FPGS. The difficulty in providing
such a compound is that the compound, in order to be
effective in inhibiting cell replication, must still be
able to effectively inhibit with other folate requiring
enzymes even though it is not polyglutamated.
The concept of using a non-polyglutamatable
inhibitor was suggested in 1983 as an approach to the
design of novel DHFR inhibitors targeted against FPGS
deficient tumors. See "Methotrexate Analogues. 20.
Replacement of Glutamate by Longer-Chain Amino Diacids:
Effects on Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibition,
Cytotoxicity, and in Vivo Antitumor Activity", Rosowsky,
et al., J. Med. Chem., (1983), 26, 1719-1724.

CA 02263907 1999-02-23

W 0 98/08382 PCT~US97/15017


In addition, several derivatives of folic acid
in which the terminal L-glutamate moiety is replaced by
L-ornithine have been shown to be effective inhibitors of
FPGS in "Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Na-(5-
Deaza-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteroyl)-L-ornithine", Singh,
et al ., J. Med. Chem., (1992), 35(11), 2002-6.
Non-polyglutamatable inhibitors were also
described for the GARFT enzyme in "First Use of the
Taylor Pteridine Synthesis as a Route to Polyglutamate
Derivatives of Antifolates. 46. Side Chain Modified 5-
deazafolate and 5-deazatetrahydrofolate Analogs as
Mammalian Folypolyglutamate Synthetase and Glycinamide
Ribonucleotide Formyl Transferase Inhibitors: Synthesis
and in Vitro Biological Evaluation'l, Rosowsky, et al., J.
Med. Chem., (1992), 35(9), 1578-88.
What are needed are pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine
non-classical antifolates, configured such that they are
non-polyglutamatable, but also configured such that they
can inhibit folate requiring enzymes.

via a process entitled "Rapid Analogue Process" or RAP. The
"rapid" part of the process refers to the relative rapid

: where Rl and R2 are as defined previously,
in the presence of a silylating agent.
Silylating agents are selected from any reagent
capable of attaching a silyl group to a target group.
Typical silylating agents include any reagent with a
trialkylsilyl group such as trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl,
triisopropylsilyl, dimethylisopropylsilyl,
diethylisopropylsilyl, dimethylthexylsilyl, and t-
butyldimethylsilyl, any reagent with an alkylarylsilyl group
such as tribenzylsilyl, diphenylmethylsilyl, t-
butylmethoxyphenylsilyl and tri-p-xylylsilyl, and any
reagent with a triarylsilyl group such as triphenylsilyl.
The preferred silylating agent is a trimethyl silylating
agent. Typical trimethyl silylating agents include N,O-
Bis(trimethylsilyl) acetamide, allyltrimethylsilane, N,O-
Bis(trimethylsilyl)-carbamate, N,N-
Bis(trimethylsilyl)methylamine, Bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfate,

(trimethylsilyl)imidazole, trimethylsilyl methanesulfonate,
4-(trimethylsilyl)morpholine, 3-trimethylsilyl-2-
oxazolidinone, trimethylsilyl trichloroacetate,
trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetate and trimethylsilyl
trifluoromethane sulfonate.
A more preferred silylating agent is N,O-bis-
(trimethylsilyl) acetamide. The N,3-Bis (trimethyl-
silyl)acetamide acts to protect carboxylic acid groups
present, as well as any hydroxy group present, on the active
ester and/or the amine of formula II.
An added benefit of using a trimethylsilyl
protecting agent is that the trimethylsilyl protected forms
of the amine/active ester tend to be more soluble which
leads to better yields in the reaction. It is also
believed, without intending to be bound thereby, that the
silylation of the N atoms activates the amino group towards
nucleophilic attack. Protection of the carboxylic acid
groups on the active ester of formula (I) and the amine of
formula (II) permits the coupling of the active ester and
amine to form the compounds of formula (III).
The reaction takes place at a temperature
preferably between about 25 C and about lO0 C, more
preferably between about 40 C and about 80 C, and most
more preferably between about 50 C and about 60 C.
The reaction should take place in a solvent. Any
non-reactive organic solvent such as dimethylformamide,
ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, toluene or acetonitrile
is suitable. The preferred solvent is dimethylformamide.
It takes between about 5 hours and 70 hours to
make a measurable amount of product. Preferably the
reaction is run for about lO hours to about 60 hours and
more preferably the reaction ls run for about 16 hours to
about 48 hours.
In order to maximize the number of compounds made
~ 35 typically one compound of formula (I) is made and then
reacted with different compounds of formula (II) to form the

antifolate compound5 of formula (III). Compounds of formula
I can be made by reacting an acid of formula (IV):

~ ~ B C - OH (IV)

where , L and B are as defined previously, with an
alcohol under known conditions. For example when the active
ester is a N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester, a compound of
formula (IV) is reacted with N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) in a
suitable solvent, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), under
known conditions (such as room temperature stirring for
approximately 24 hours after addition of 1,3-dicyclo-
hexylcarbodimide). The preferred active ester is a N-
hydroxysuccinimide ester.
Compounds of formula (IV) can be made using known
technology in the art of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidinyl fused
ring system antifolate chemistry. See, for example, U.S.

~ Amines of formula (II) can be made by standard
techniques known in the art. See for example, Oraanic
ChemistrY, pp. 828-843 by Morrison & Boyd, 6th Edition, 1992
by Prentice-Hall, Inc., and Advanced Oraanic Chemistrv, by
J. March, 4th Edition, 1992 by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. or
they can be obtained through standard reagent supply
companies such as Sigma Chemical Company, P.O. Box 14508,
St. Louis, MO 63178.
The reaction of compound (I) and compound ~II) to
make the compound of formula (III) can also take place in
the presence of a suitable strong base. Such suitable
strong bases include NaOH, KOH, etc. The preferred strong
base is NaOH.
After the antifolate compounds of formula (III)
are synthesized, they must be worked-up to provide an
antifolate compound suitable for testing or use. An
advantage of the claimed process is that it includes a rapid
work-up procedure wherein the compound of formula (III) is
isolated from the reaction mixture by performing the
following steps:
a) optionally adding a suitable diamine;
b) adding a suitable aqueous acid;
c) separating the produ~t from its solvent;
d) preparing the product physically for collecting,
washing and drying; and
e) collecting, washing and drying the product.
A suitable diamine is any diamine capable of
reacting with unreacted active ester to create a product
with an amine functionality. This product with an amine
functionality can then be washed out of the reaction
mixture, along with unreacted HNRlR2. One such suitable
diamine is ethylene diamine. The addition of the diamine is
optional, though preferred.
The suitable acid is a mineral acid selected from
the group consisting of HCl, HBr, HI, and HF. The preferred
suitable acid is HCl. The most preferred suitable acid is
1 Normal aqueous HCl.

~ Separating the product from its solvent can be
done by any technique known in the art. One such method is
to strip the solvent from the product by heating the
solvent. When the soivent is a high-boiling solvent another
solvent, or mixture of solvents, can be added to form a
lower-boiling azeotropic mixture which can be boiled off at
a lower temperature. Typical solvents used to create a
lower boiling azeotropic solvent mixture can be selected
from the group consisting of o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene,
toluene, benzene, and mixtures thereof. The most preferred
solvent for this purpose is a mixture of o-xylene, m-xylene
and p-xylene.
Preparing the product physically for collecting,
washing and drying involves breaking up the clumped product
into particles sufficiently small so that the particles may
readily be collected by any suitable technique such as by
filtration or evaporation. After collection, the product is
washed and dried. Any method can be used to break up the
product. A preferred method is sonicating the product in
the presence of acid.
Collecting, washing, and drying can be
accomplished using standard techniques in the art of organic
chemistry. For example, the product can be collected by
filtering it through a Buchner funnel, then washing it with
water and then ether, and then drying it in a vacuum oven.
By following this non-conventional workup and
purification procedure the time involved is reduced
significantly because there is no need for traditional time
consuming separation techni~ues such as chromatography.
This invention includes pharmaceutically
acceptable salts and solvates of all compounds. The
pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the invention are
typically formed by reacting a compound of formula (III)
which possesses one or more suitable acidic or basic
- 35 functionalities with an equimolar or slight excess amount of
base or acid. The reactants generally are combined in a
mutual solvent such as diethyl ether or benzene for acid

- addition salts, or water or alcohols for base addition
salts. The salt usually precipitates out of solution within
about l hour to about lO days, and can be isolated by
filtration or other conventional means.
In addition, some of the compounds of the present
invention may form solvates with water or common organic
solvents. Such solvates are included as compounds of this
invention.
It is also contemplated that the acid portions of
these compounds may be modified to form esters, using
techniques known in the art. These ester compounds
typically contain Cl-C4 alkyl moieties in place of the acid
hydrogen. These ester intermediates are also considered to
be part of the invention.
The compounds of the present invention may be
administered to any mammal. Of all mammals, it is believed
that humans will benefit the most from administration of
these compounds.
The compounds of the present invention are
antineoplastic agents. An embodiment of the present
invention provides a method of treating susceptible
neoplasms in mammals, preferably humans, in need of such
treatment. The present compounds are useful in inhibiting
the growth of neoplasms or "cancers", including, but not

invention, as well as compositions containing one or more
other compounds of formula (III), the active ingredients are
usually mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or
enclosed within such a carrier which can be in the form of a
capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the
excipient serves as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid
or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, carrier or
medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions
can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, elixirs,
suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, soft and hard
gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable
solutions and sterile packaged powders.
Some examples of suitable excipients include
lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches,
gum arabic, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose,
polyvinylpyrrolidinone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl
cellulose, the formulations can additionally include
lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate and

mineral oil, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending
agents, preserving agents such as methyl- and propyl-
hydroxybenzoates, sweetening agents or flavoring agents.
The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to
provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active
ingredient after administration to the patient by employing
procedures well known in the art.
The compositions are preferably formulated in a
unit dosage form with each dosage normally containing from
about O.l milligrams per square meter of body surface area
(mg/M2) to about 3000 mg/M2, more usually about lO mg/M2 to
about 250 mg/M2 of the active ingredient. The term "unit
dosage formU refers to physically discrete units suitable as
unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each
unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material
calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in
association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
However, it will be understood that the amount of
the compound actually administered, and the frequency of
administration, will be determined by a physician or
veterinarian in light of the relevant circumstances
including the relative severity of a disease state, the
choice of compound to be administered, the age, weight, and
response of the individual patient, and the chosen route of
administration. Therefore, the above dosage ranges are not
intended to limit the scope of this invention in any way.

described in any of Preparation 1, 2, 3 or 4; and the term
amine refers to an amine of Formula II (namely: HNRlR2,
where Rl and R2 are as described previously).

5A. RaDid Analoaue Proce~s (RAP) General Procedure A

A mixture of active ester (0.126 mmol), amine
(0.38 mmol), and N, O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (0.2 mL,
0.81 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (3 mL) is heated at 55~C
under nitrogen for 18-48 hours. The reaction is quenched
with lN aqueous HCl (0.05 mL) then the solvent is removed in
vacuo to give a residue which is azeotroped with xylenes (6
mL) and dried under high vacuum to remove any remaining
traces of solvent. The residue is sonicated with lN aqueous
HCl (15 mL) for ~0.5 hours and the resulting solid is
filtered, washed with water (5 mL), diethyl ether (5 mL) and
dried to give the desired product as a solid.

*Cell Cytotoxicity for Human colon carcinoma GC3 cell lines
as determined by using a MTT Colorimetric Assay. The ICso
was determined as the concentration of drug required to
inhibit cell growth by 50%. See "Role of Membrane-
Associated Folate Binding Protein in the Cytotoxicity of
Antifolates in KB, IGROVl, and Ll210A Cells", Schultz, et
al., Oncoloqv Research, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp 97-102, 1995, for
test protocol.
**Ki is the inhibition constant for human thymidylate
synthase in nanomolar(s) (nM). Test procedure for the
determination of inhibition constants for thymidylate
synthase as follows:
Recombinant human thymidylate synthase (HTS)
expressed in E. Coli, was obtained in purified form from Dr.
Daniel Santi at the University of California at San
Francisco, [6R~-5,l0 methylenetetrahydrofolate was obtained
from Eprova AG, Switzerland. The ENZFITTER microcomputer
package was purchased from Biosoft, Ferguson, MO. All
additional chemicals were obtained from Sigma Chemical
Company, St. Louis, MO.
The initial reaction rates, in the presence and
absence of inhibitor, were determined by monitoring the
increase in absorbance at 340nm resulting from formation of
the product, 7,8-dihydrofolate, using a BeckmanrM DU640
spectrophotometer. Assays were performed in 50 mM TES, 25
mM MgCl2, 6.5 mM HCHO, l mM EDTA, 75 mM 2-mercaptoethanol,
pH 7.4. All compounds were dissolved in DMSO to l0 mM and
subsequently diluted into the assay buffer. The final DMSO
concentration never exceeded 0.5% and vehicle controls
confirmed that there was no effect of DMSO at this
concentration. The concentrations of dUMP, [6R]-5,l0
methylenetetrahydrofolate and HTS were l00 uM, 30 uM, and 30

-145-
nM respectively. An initial screen of each compound was run
at lO0 nM, l ,uM and 5 uM to determine inhibitory activity.
If an ICso of ~ luM was obtained for any compound,
inhibition was assessed over a wide range of concentrations
and Kiapp values were determined by a nonlinear fit of the
data to the Morrison equation using the program ENZFITTER.
Ki values were derived using the equation: Kiapp = Ki(l +
[S]/Km), where [S] is equal to 30 uM and Km is equal to 8
~M.
