groups may be protected during the reaction by conventional
protecting groups which are cleaved again after the reaction.
For example, a protecting group for a hydroxy group may be a

- 26 -
iodotrimethylsilane, at temperatures between 0 and 1200C,
preferably at temperatures between 10 and 100 C.
However, a benzyl, methoxybenzyl or benzyloxycarbonyl group is

the presence of a catalyst such as palladium/charcoal in a
suitable solvent such as methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate or
glacial acetic acid, optionally with the addition of an acid
such as hydrochloric acid at temperatures between 0 and 100 C,
but preferably at room temperatures between 20 and 60 C, and at
a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 7 bar, but preferably 3 to 5 bar. A

trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of anisole.
A tert.butyl or tert.butyloxycarbonyl group is preferably
cleaved by treating with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid
or hydrochloric acid or by treating with iodotrimethylsilane
optionally using a solvent such as methylene chloride, dioxane,

Moreover, the compounds of general formula I obtained may be
resolved into their enantiomers and/or diastereomers, as
mentioned hereinbefore. Thus, for example, cis/trans mixtures
may be resolved into their cis and trans isomers, and

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 27 -
compounds with at least one optically active carbon atom may
be separated into their enantiomers.
Thus, for example, the cis/trans mixtures may be resolved by
chromatography into the cis and trans isomers thereof, the
compounds of general formula I obtained which occur as
racemates may be separated by methods known per se (cf.
Allinger N. L. and Eliel E. L. in "Topics in Stereochemistry",
Vol. 6, Wiley Interscience, 1971) into their optical antipodes
and compounds of general formula I with at least 2 asymmetric
carbon atoms may be resolved into their diastereomers on the
basis of their physical-chemical differences using methods
known per se, e.g. by chromatography and/or fractional
crystallisation, and, if these compounds are obtained in
racemic form, they may subsequently be resolved into the
enantiomers as mentioned above.
The enantiomers are preferably separated by column separation
on chiral phases or by recrystallisation from an optically
active solvent or by reacting with an optically active
substance which forms salts or derivatives such as e.g. esters
or amides with the racemic compound, particularly acids and the
activated derivatives or alcohols thereof, and separating the
diastereomeric mixture of salts or derivatives thus obtained,
e.g. on the basis of their differences in solubility, whilst
the free antipodes may be released from the pure diastereomeric
salts or derivatives by the action of suitable agents.
Optically active acids in common use are e.g. the D- and
L-forms of tartaric acid or dibenzoyltartaric acid, di-
o-tolyltartaric acid, malic acid, mandelic acid,
camphorsulphonic acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid or quinic
acid. An optically active alcohol may be for example (+) or
(-)-menthol and an optically active acyl group in amides, for
example, may be a (+)-or (-)-menthyloxycarbonyl.
Furthermore, the compounds of formula I obtained may be
converted into the salts thereof, particularly for

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 28 -
pharmaceutical use into the physiologically acceptable salts
with inorganic or organic acids. Acids which may be used for
this purpose include for example hydrochloric acid,
hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, fumaric
acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid
or maleic acid.
The compounds of general formulae II to VIII used as starting
materials are known from the literature in some cases or may be
obtained by methods known from the literature (cf. Examples I
to XV).
As already mentioned hereinbefore, the compounds of general
formula I according to the invention and the physiologically
acceptable salts thereof have valuable pharmacological
properties, particularly an inhibiting effect on signal
transduction mediated by the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor
(EGF-R), whilst this may be achieved for example by inhibiting
ligand bonding, receptor dimerisation or tyrosine kinase
itself. It is also possible that the transmission of signals
to components located further along is blocked.
The biological properties of the new compounds were
investigated as follows:
The inhibition of the EGF-R-mediated signal transmission can
be demonstrated e.g. with cells which express human EGF-R and
whose survival and proliferation depend on stimulation by EGF
or TGF-alpha. A cell line of murine origiil dependent on
interleukin-3-(IL-3) which was genetically modified to express
functional human EGF-R was used here. The proliferation of
these cells known as F/L-HERc can therefore be stimulated
either by murine IL-3 or by EGF (cf. von Ruden, T. et al. in
EMBO J. 2, 2749-2756 (1988) and Pierce, J. H. et al. in
Science 239, 628-631 (1988)).

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 29 -
The starting material used for the F/L-HERc cells was the cell
line FDC-P1, the production of which has been described by
Dexter; T. M. et al. in J. Exp. Med. 152, 1036-1047 (1980).
Alternatively, however, other growth-factor-dependent cells
may also be used (cf. for example Pierce, J. H. et al. in
Science 239, 628-631 (1988), Shibuya, H. et al. in Cell ZQ,
57-67 (1992) and Alexander, W. S. et al. in EMBO J. 1Q, 3683-
3691 (1991)). For expressing the human EGF-R cDNA (cf.
Ullrich, A. et al. in Nature 309, 418-425 (1984)) recombinant
retroviruses were used as described by von Ruden, T. et al.,
EMBO J. 2, 2749-2756 (1988), except that the retroviral vector
LXSN (cf. Miller, A. D. et al. in BioTechniques .Z, 980-990
(1989)) was used for the expression of the EGF-R cDNA and the
line GP+E86 (cf. Markowitz, D. et al. in J. Virol. jjZ, 1120-
1124 (1988)) was used as the packaging cell.
The test was performed as follows:
F/L-HERc cells were cultivated in RPMI/1640 medium
(BioWhittaker), supplemented with 10 % foetal calf serum (FCS,
Boehringer Mannheim), 2 mM glutamine (BioWhittaker), standard
antibiotics and 20 ng/ml of human EGF (Promega), at 37 C and
5% CO2. In order to investigate the inhibitory activity of the
compounds according to the invention, 1.5 x 104 cells per well
were cultivated in triplicate in 96-well dishes in the above
medium (200 l), the cell proliferation being stimulated with
either EGF (20 ng/ml) or murine IL-3. The IL-3 used was
obtained from culture supernatants of the cell line X63/0 mIL-
3 (cf. Karasuyama, H. et al. in Eur. J. Immunol. 1$, 97-104
(1988)). The compounds according to the invention were
dissolved in 100% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and added to the
cultures in various dilutions, the maximum DMSO concentration
being 1%. The cultures were incubated for 48 hours at 37 C.
In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds
according to the invention the relative cell number was
measured in O.D. units using the Cell Titer 96TM AQueous Non-

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 30 -
Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (Promega). The relative
cell number was calculated as a percentage of the control
(F/LHERc cells without inhibitor) and the concentration of
active substance which inhibits the proliferation of the cells
by 50% (IC50) was derived therefrom. The following results
were obtained:

The compounds of general formula I according to the invention
thus inhibit the signal transduction by tyrosine kinases, as
demonstrated by the example of the human EGF receptor, and are
therefore useful for treating pathophysiological processes
caused by hyperfunction of tyrosine kinases. These are e.g.
benign or malignant tumours, particularly tumours of
epithelial and neuroepithelial origin, metastasisation and the
abnormal proliferation of vascular endothelial cells
(neoangiogenesis).
The compounds according to the invention are also useful for
preventing and treating diseases of the airways and lungs
which are accompanied by increased or altered production of
mucus caused by stimulation of tyrosine kinases, e.g. in
inflammatory diseases of the airways such as chronic
bronchitis, chronic obstructive bronchitis, asthma,
bronchiectasias, allergic or non-allergic rhinitis or
sinusitis, cystic fibrosis, al-antitrypsin deficiency, or
coughs, pulmonary emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and
hyperreactive airways.

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 31 -
The compounds are also suitable for treating diseases of the
gastrointestinal tract and bile duct and gall bladder which
are associated with disrupted activity of the tyrosine
kinases, such as may be found e.g. in chronic inflammatory
changes such as cholecystitis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative
colitis, and ulcers in the gastrointestinal tract or such as
may occur in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract which are
associated with increased secretions, such as Menetrier's
disease, secreting adenomas and protein loss syndrome,
also for treating nasal polyps and polyps of the
gastrointestinal tract of various origins, such as for example
villous or adenomatous polyps of the large bowel, but also
polyps in familial polyposis coli, intestinal polyps in
Gardner's syndrome, polyps throughout the entire
gastrointestinal tract in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, inflammatory
pseudopolyps, juvenile polyps, colitis cystica profunda and
pneumatosis cystoides intestinales.
Moreover, the compounds of general formula I and the
physiologically acceptable salts thereof may be used to treat
kidney diseases, particularly cystic changes as in cystic
kidneys, for treating renal cysts which may be idiopathic in
origin or which occur in syndromes such as e.g. tubercular
sclerosis, in von-Hippel-Lindau Syndrome, in nephronophthisis
and spongy kidney and other diseases caused by abnormal
functioning of tyrosine kinases such as e.g. epidermal hyper-
proliferation (psoriasis), inflammatory processes, diseases of
the immune system, hyperproliferation of haematopoietic cells,
etc.
By reason of their biological properties the compounds
according to the invention may be used on their own or in
conjunction with other pharmacologically active compounds, for
example in tumour therapy, in monotherapy or in conjunction
with other anti-tumour therapeutic agents, for example in

CA 02403152 2002-09-13
- 32 -
combination with topoisomerase inhibitors (e.g. etoposide),
mitosis inhibitors (e.g. vinblastin), compounds which interact
with nucleic acids (e.g. cis-platin, cyclophosphamide,
adriamycin), hormone antagonists (e.g. tamoxifen), inhibitors
of metabolic processes (e.g. 5-FU etc.), cytokines (e.g. inter-
ferons), antibodies, etc. For treating respiratory tract
diseases, these compounds may be used on their own or in
conjunction with other therapeutic agents for the airways, such
as substances with a secretolytic, broncholytic and/or anti-
inflammatory activity. For treating diseases in the region of
the gastrointestinal tract, these compounds may also be
administered on their own or in conjunction with substances
having an effect on motility or secretion or with anti-
inflammatory substances. These combinations may be administered
either simultaneously or sequentially.
These compounds may be administered either on their own or in
conjunction with other active substances by intravenous,
subcutaneous, intramuscular, intrarectal, intraperitoneal or
intranasal route, by inhalation or transdermally or orally,
whilst aerosol formulations are particularly suitable for
inhalation.
For pharmaceutical use the compounds according to the invention
are generally used for warm-blooded vertebrates, particularly
humans, in doses of 0.01-100 mg/kg of body weight, preferably
0.1-15 mg/kg. For administration they are formulated with one
or more conventional inert carriers and/or diluents, e.g. with
corn starch, lactose, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose,
magnesium stearate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, citric acid, tartaric
acid, water, water/ethanol, water/glycerol, water/sorbitol,
water/polyethyleneglycol, propyleneglycol, stearylalcohol,
carboxymethylcellulose or fatty substances such as hard fat or
suitable mixtures thereof in conventional galenic preparations
such as plain or coated tablets, capsules, powders,
suspensions, solutions, sprays or suppositories.
