FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This disclosure relates to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor antagonists, compositions comprising the S1P receptor antagonists and methods for using and processes for making the SIP receptor antagonists. In particularly, this disclosure relates to sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 (S1P1) receptor antagonists, compositions comprising the S1P1 receptor antagonist and methods for using the S1P1 receptor antagonist, such as in the treatment of cancer, and processes for making the 51P1 receptor antagonists.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is derived from sphingosine, which provides the backbone to all sphingolipids. Phosphorylation of sphingosine, a metabolite of the pro-apoptotic lipid ceramide, to S1P, is mediated by lipid kinases called sphingosine kinases (SphK). There are two SphK isoenzymes: SphK1 or SphK2. SIP may be reversibly deactivated through dephosphorylation by several phosphatases or irreversibly deactivated by S1P lyase. S1P is produced intracellularly in organelles and the plasma membrane and then secreted. The newly generated S1P is then secreted and is bound extensively by albumin and other plasma proteins. This provides a stable reservoir in extracellular fluids, presumably at higher total concentrations than in tissues, and rapid delivery to cell surface receptors. SIP, via its five cognate G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), S1P1-5 Rs, regulates diverse biological functions, including inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, lymphocyte trafficking and cell senescence. Thus, coordinated activities of biosynthetic and biodegradative enzymes help maintain and regulate concentrations of SIP in the range required for physiological activities.
SIP has been shown to be an important mediator of angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. One way to modulate SIP levels is to target SphK, and thereby affect biosynthesis of SIP. SphK1 has been shown to stimulate proliferation in vitro, and is tumorigenic in vivo. It also imparts resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and is elevated in some solid tumors. SphK1 inhibitors have been shown to have anti-cancer effects in vivo. These effects have been attributed to the inhibition of formation of SIP. Further, a monoclonal antibody against SIP reduces progression of or eliminates tumors in murine xenograft and allograft models. Thus, lowering levels of SIP by inhibiting SphK or by an SIP-specific antibody has anti-tumorigenic effects.
Since many, if not all effects of SIP are mediated by five GPCRs, an alternative approach to cancer therapy may be inhibition of SIP receptors. Of the five known SP receptors, S1P1R has been shown to play an important role in vascular permeability and S1P1R knock-out mice have an embryonic lethal phenotype. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence for cross-talk between S1P1R and other growth factor receptors such as PDGFR. Thus, S1P1 receptor antagonists have the potential to offer clinical benefit as anti-cancer therapeutics.

In this application, fused-polycyclics and fused ring systems are not necessarily all aromatic ring systems. Typically, but not necessarily, fused-polycyclics share a vicinal set of atoms, for example naphthalene or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene. A spiro ring system is not a fused-polycyclic by this definition, but fused polycyclic ring systems of the invention may themselves have spiro rings attached thereto via a single ring atom of the fused-polycyclic. In some examples, as appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, two adjacent groups on an aromatic system may be fused together to form a ring structure. The fused ring structure may contain heteroatoms and may be optionally substituted with one or more groups.

Any 1 or 2 ring carbon atoms of any nonaromatic rings comprising a polycyclic heteroaryl radical may be replaced by a —C(O)—, —C(S)—, or —C(═NH)— group. Rx is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, or alkylsulfonyl. Unless stated otherwise, the valency may be located on any atom of any ring of the heteroaryl group, valency rules permitting.

“Heterocycloalkyl” means a monovalent, monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon radical having 3 to 13 ring atoms of which one or more of the ring atoms, for example 1, 2, 3 or 4 ring atoms, are heteroatoms independently selected from —O—, —S(O) n — (n is 0, 1, or 2), —N═ and —N(R y )— (where R y is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl or alkylsulfonyl, as defined herein), and the remaining ring atoms are carbon. The heterocycloalkyl radical may be saturated or partially unsaturated, but cannot contain an aromatic ring. The heterocycloalkyl radical includes fused, bridged and spiro ring systems. Any 1 or 2 ring carbon atoms independently may be replaced by a —C(O)—, —C(S)—, or —C(═NH)— group. Unless otherwise stated, the valency of the group may be located on any atom of any ring within the radical, valency rules permitting.

provided that if two hydroxy groups are present they are not both on the same carbon atom. Representative examples include, but are not limited to, hydroxymethylene, 2-hydroxyethylene, 2-hydroxytrimethylene, 3-hydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyltrimethylene, 2-hydroxytetramethylene, 3-hydroxytetramethyene, 4-hydroxytetramethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytetramethylene, 3,4-dihydroxytetramethylene, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-hydroxytrimethylene, 2-hydroxyethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethylene, and the like.

The term “may be substituted” means the substitution may or may not occur and includes instances where said substitution occurs and instances in which it does not. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that with respect to any molecule described as containing one or more substituents, only sterically practical and/or synthetically feasible compounds are meant to be included.
“Propanamido” means propionylamino, i.e., —NHC(O)CH 2 CH 3 .
“Saturated bridged ring system” refers to a bicyclic or polycyclic ring system that is not aromatic. Such a system may contain isolated or conjugated unsaturation, but not aromatic or heteroaromatic rings in its core structure (but may have aromatic substitution thereon). For example, hexahydro-furo[3,2-b]furan, 2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-indene, 7-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 1,2,3,4,4a,5,8,8a-octahydro-naphthalene are all included in the class “saturated bridged ring system.”
“Spiro ring” refers to a ring originating from a particular annular carbon of another ring. For example, as depicted below:
a ring atom of a saturated bridged ring system (rings C and C′), but not a bridgehead atom, can be a shared atom between the saturated bridged ring system and a spiro ring (ring D) attached thereto. A representative example of a spiro ring system is 2,3-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl.
“Isomers” means compounds having identical molecular formulae but differing in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable mirror images are termed “enantiomers” or sometimes “optical isomers.” A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a “chiral center.” A compound with one chiral center has two enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture.” A compound that has more than one chiral center has 2 n-1 enantiomeric pairs, where n is the number of chiral centers. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist as ether an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed a “diastereomeric mixture.” When one chiral center is present a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. Enantiomers are characterized by the absolute configuration of their chiral centers and described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog. Conventions for stereochemical nomenclature, methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well known in the art (e.g., see “Advanced Organic Chemistry,” 3rd edition, March, Jerry, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1985). The names and illustration used in this application to describe compounds of the invention, unless indicated otherwise, are meant to be encompassed all possible stereoisomers and any mixture, racemic or otherwise, thereof.
The compounds described herein, as well as their corresponding metabolites, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, solvates, hydrates or other derivatives thereof, can exist in isotopically-labeled form, in which one or more atoms of the compounds are replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine and chloride, such as 2 H (deuterium), 3 H (tritium), 13 C, 14 C, 15 N, 18 O, 17 O, 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F and 36 Cl, respectively. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, solvates, hydrates or other derivatives thereof, generally can be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples and Preparations below, by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.
In the compounds of the invention, unless otherwise stated, any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom at its natural abundance. When a position is designated as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is to be understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition, with the understanding that some variation of natural isotopic abundance occurs in a synthesized compound depending upon the origin of chemical materials used in the synthesis. When a particular position is designated as “D” or “deuterium”, it is to be understood that the abundance of deuterium at that position is substantially greater than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is 0.015%, and typically has at least 50% deuterium incorporation at that position.
The methods disclosed herein also include methods of treating diseases by administering deuterated compounds of the invention or other isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention alone or as pharmaceutical compositions. In some of these situations, substitution of hydrogen atoms with heavier isotopes such as deuterium can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements).
Moreover, certain isotopically-labeled compounds, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3 H and 14 C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays such as positron emission tomography (PET). Tritiated, ( 3 H) and carbon-14 ( 14 C) isotopes are useful for these embodiments because of their detectability.

Example 17
S1P1R Antagonist Assay
The S1P1R antagonist assay is a fluorescent membrane potential dye measurement assay, indicative of intracellular cAMP changes due to G protein-coupled receptor activation. HEK293 cells engineered to express human S1P1 receptors and a cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel are obtained from BD Biosciences, 80300-250. The CNG channels are activated by elevated levels of cAMP, resulting in ion flux and cell membrane depolarization. Membrane depolarization is detected with a membrane potential dye. Stimulation of the cells with 5′-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), an A2b receptor agonist (Sigma, E2387), elicits an A2bR-dependent increase in cAMP.
Subsequent exposure of the cells to a S1P1R agonist suppresses the NECA induced increase in cAMP through 51P1R-specific signaling by inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and the formation of cAMP from ATP. The degree to which a test compound overcomes the S1P1R agonist suppression of the NECA induced increase in cAMP is a measure of S1P1R antagonist activity. Antagonist activity is quantified as the IC 50 (i.e., the concentration needed to elicited one-half of the maximum response of the test compound) and/or as the EC 50 (i.e., the concentration needed to elicited one-half of the NECA induced stimulation).
Day 1: Freshly thawed cells were plated into 384-well plates (Corning, 3683) at a density of 14,000 cells/well in 20 μL, complete media and incubated for 16 hours at 37° C., 5% CO 2 and 99% relative humidity. Complete media included Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Invitrogen, 11965-092), 10% Fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, SH30071.03), 250 μg/mL geneticin (Invitrogen, 10131-027), and 1 μg/mL Puromycin (Fluka, 82595).
Day 2: Membrane potential dye (20 μL, BD Biosciences, 341833) was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 2.5 hours at ambient temperature. Test compounds (20 μL) were added to the wells at various concentrations (≦10 μM, 1 to 3 dilutions) in a NECA base solution and incubated for 90 minutes in the presence of the S1P1R agonist {4-((4-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-thienyl)methoxy)benzyl}-3-azetidinecarboxylic acid (10 nM). The NECA-base solution contained Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (Invitrogen, 14190-136), 2.5% DMSO (Fluka, 41648), 25 μM Ro 20-1724 (Sigma, B8279), and 500 nM NECA).
A HEK293 cell line that expresses the human CB1 receptor and a CNG channel (BD Biosciences, 80500-211) were used as the counterscreen. CB1R cells were stimulated with 500 nM NECA and with CB1R agonist CP-55940 (10 nM) causing a CB1R-specific decrease of NECA-induced elevated levels of cAMP. Specific S1P1R antagonists will have no effect on CB1R activation.
Assay plates were read with a PerkinElmer EnVision reader (Excitation 350 nm, Emission 590 nm) at time T=0 minutes, before compound addition and at time T=90 minutes. The signal was calculated as the ratio T90/T0. Data was analyzed in ActivityBase XE and graphs showing log of compound concentration (X-axis) vs. % activity (Y-axis) were generated for IC 50 determinations. Percent activity was calculated with the following formula: (Signal−Agonist Control Signal)/(NECA Control Signal−Agonist Control Signal)×100.
Suitable S1P1R and CB agonists for use in the S1P1R antagonist assay are known in the art. For example, fingolimod or 2-amino-2-(4-nonylphenethyl)propane-1,3-diol, is a known S1P1R agonist. Methods for making and using fingolimod are found in European Patent Application EP0627406. 1-{4-((4-Phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-thienyl)methoxy)benzyl}-3-azetidinecarboxylic acid is a known S1P1R agonist and methods for making and using it are found in WO 03/062252. Suitable CB1R agonists are known in the art, for example, WIN55, 212-2 and CP-55940 are commerically available (Sigma, W102 and C1112, respectively).
The S1P1R antagonists of this invention were assayed by the methods described in Example 17 and were found to inhibit the S1P1R agonist elicited effects at IC 50 and/or EC 50 values ranging from about 1 nM to about 2 μM concentrations. In contrast, the S1P1R antagonists of this invention were found not to inhibit CB1R elicited effects. The activities the S1P1R antagonists of this invention are indicated in Table 2, wherein the letters A, B and C denote, respectively, that a compound has an EC 50 or IC 50 value of (i) less than or equal to 0.3 μM, (ii) greater than 0.3 μM, but less than or equal to 1 μM, and (iii) greater than 1 μM.

7.Description:
(en)CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application is filed contemporaneously with U.S. Ser. No. 61/196,495 entitled, “Synergistic Effects between Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor Antagonists and Taxanes,” which is incorporated by reference herein. This application claims the benefit of U.S. Ser. No. 61/196,495, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This disclosure relates to sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor antagonists, compositions comprising the S1P receptor antagonists and methods for using and processes for making the SIP receptor antagonists. In particularly, this disclosure relates to sphingosine-1-phosphate 1 (S1P1) receptor antagonists, compositions comprising the S1P1 receptor antagonist and methods for using the S1P1 receptor antagonist, such as in the treatment of cancer, and processes for making the 51P1 receptor antagonists.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is derived from sphingosine, which provides the backbone to all sphingolipids. Phosphorylation of sphingosine, a metabolite of the pro-apoptotic lipid ceramide, to S1P, is mediated by lipid kinases called sphingosine kinases (SphK). There are two SphK isoenzymes: SphK1 or SphK2. SIP may be reversibly deactivated through dephosphorylation by several phosphatases or irreversibly deactivated by S1P lyase. S1P is produced intracellularly in organelles and the plasma membrane and then secreted. The newly generated S1P is then secreted and is bound extensively by albumin and other plasma proteins. This provides a stable reservoir in extracellular fluids, presumably at higher total concentrations than in tissues, and rapid delivery to cell surface receptors. SIP, via its five cognate G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), S1P1-5 Rs, regulates diverse biological functions, including inflammatory responses, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, lymphocyte trafficking and cell senescence. Thus, coordinated activities of biosynthetic and biodegradative enzymes help maintain and regulate concentrations of SIP in the range required for physiological activities.
SIP has been shown to be an important mediator of angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. One way to modulate SIP levels is to target SphK, and thereby affect biosynthesis of SIP. SphK1 has been shown to stimulate proliferation in vitro, and is tumorigenic in vivo. It also imparts resistance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and is elevated in some solid tumors. SphK1 inhibitors have been shown to have anti-cancer effects in vivo. These effects have been attributed to the inhibition of formation of SIP. Further, a monoclonal antibody against SIP reduces progression of or eliminates tumors in murine xenograft and allograft models. Thus, lowering levels of SIP by inhibiting SphK or by an SIP-specific antibody has anti-tumorigenic effects.
Since many, if not all effects of SIP are mediated by five GPCRs, an alternative approach to cancer therapy may be inhibition of SIP receptors. Of the five known SP receptors, S1P1R has been shown to play an important role in vascular permeability and S1P1R knock-out mice have an embryonic lethal phenotype. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence for cross-talk between S1P1R and other growth factor receptors such as PDGFR. Thus, S1P1 receptor antagonists have the potential to offer clinical benefit as anti-cancer therapeutics.

In this application, fused-polycyclics and fused ring systems are not necessarily all aromatic ring systems. Typically, but not necessarily, fused-polycyclics share a vicinal set of atoms, for example naphthalene or 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene. A spiro ring system is not a fused-polycyclic by this definition, but fused polycyclic ring systems of the invention may themselves have spiro rings attached thereto via a single ring atom of the fused-polycyclic. In some examples, as appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, two adjacent groups on an aromatic system may be fused together to form a ring structure. The fused ring structure may contain heteroatoms and may be optionally substituted with one or more groups.

Any 1 or 2 ring carbon atoms of any nonaromatic rings comprising a polycyclic heteroaryl radical may be replaced by a —C(O)—, —C(S)—, or —C(═NH)— group. Rx is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl, or alkylsulfonyl. Unless stated otherwise, the valency may be located on any atom of any ring of the heteroaryl group, valency rules permitting.

“Heterocycloalkyl” means a monovalent, monocyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbon radical having 3 to 13 ring atoms of which one or more of the ring atoms, for example 1, 2, 3 or 4 ring atoms, are heteroatoms independently selected from —O—, —S(O) n — (n is 0, 1, or 2), —N═ and —N(R y )— (where R y is hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, acyl or alkylsulfonyl, as defined herein), and the remaining ring atoms are carbon. The heterocycloalkyl radical may be saturated or partially unsaturated, but cannot contain an aromatic ring. The heterocycloalkyl radical includes fused, bridged and spiro ring systems. Any 1 or 2 ring carbon atoms independently may be replaced by a —C(O)—, —C(S)—, or —C(═NH)— group. Unless otherwise stated, the valency of the group may be located on any atom of any ring within the radical, valency rules permitting.

provided that if two hydroxy groups are present they are not both on the same carbon atom. Representative examples include, but are not limited to, hydroxymethylene, 2-hydroxyethylene, 2-hydroxytrimethylene, 3-hydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyltrimethylene, 2-hydroxytetramethylene, 3-hydroxytetramethyene, 4-hydroxytetramethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytetramethylene, 3,4-dihydroxytetramethylene, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-3-hydroxytrimethylene, 2-hydroxyethylene, 2,3-dihydroxytrimethylene, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-2-hydroxyethylene, and the like.

The term “may be substituted” means the substitution may or may not occur and includes instances where said substitution occurs and instances in which it does not. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that with respect to any molecule described as containing one or more substituents, only sterically practical and/or synthetically feasible compounds are meant to be included.
“Propanamido” means propionylamino, i.e., —NHC(O)CH 2 CH 3 .
“Saturated bridged ring system” refers to a bicyclic or polycyclic ring system that is not aromatic. Such a system may contain isolated or conjugated unsaturation, but not aromatic or heteroaromatic rings in its core structure (but may have aromatic substitution thereon). For example, hexahydro-furo[3,2-b]furan, 2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-indene, 7-aza-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and 1,2,3,4,4a,5,8,8a-octahydro-naphthalene are all included in the class “saturated bridged ring system.”
“Spiro ring” refers to a ring originating from a particular annular carbon of another ring. For example, as depicted below:
a ring atom of a saturated bridged ring system (rings C and C′), but not a bridgehead atom, can be a shared atom between the saturated bridged ring system and a spiro ring (ring D) attached thereto. A representative example of a spiro ring system is 2,3-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl.
“Isomers” means compounds having identical molecular formulae but differing in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and stereoisomers that are nonsuperimposable mirror images are termed “enantiomers” or sometimes “optical isomers.” A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a “chiral center.” A compound with one chiral center has two enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture.” A compound that has more than one chiral center has 2 n-1 enantiomeric pairs, where n is the number of chiral centers. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist as ether an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed a “diastereomeric mixture.” When one chiral center is present a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. Enantiomers are characterized by the absolute configuration of their chiral centers and described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog. Conventions for stereochemical nomenclature, methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well known in the art (e.g., see “Advanced Organic Chemistry,” 3rd edition, March, Jerry, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1985). The names and illustration used in this application to describe compounds of the invention, unless indicated otherwise, are meant to be encompassed all possible stereoisomers and any mixture, racemic or otherwise, thereof.
The compounds described herein, as well as their corresponding metabolites, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, solvates, hydrates or other derivatives thereof, can exist in isotopically-labeled form, in which one or more atoms of the compounds are replaced by an atom having the same atomic number but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine and chloride, such as 2 H (deuterium), 3 H (tritium), 13 C, 14 C, 15 N, 18 O, 17 O, 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18 F and 36 Cl, respectively. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present invention, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, prodrugs, solvates, hydrates or other derivatives thereof, generally can be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples and Preparations below, by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.
In the compounds of the invention, unless otherwise stated, any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom at its natural abundance. When a position is designated as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is to be understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition, with the understanding that some variation of natural isotopic abundance occurs in a synthesized compound depending upon the origin of chemical materials used in the synthesis. When a particular position is designated as “D” or “deuterium”, it is to be understood that the abundance of deuterium at that position is substantially greater than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is 0.015%, and typically has at least 50% deuterium incorporation at that position.
The methods disclosed herein also include methods of treating diseases by administering deuterated compounds of the invention or other isotopically-labeled compounds of the invention alone or as pharmaceutical compositions. In some of these situations, substitution of hydrogen atoms with heavier isotopes such as deuterium can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements).
Moreover, certain isotopically-labeled compounds, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3 H and 14 C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays such as positron emission tomography (PET). Tritiated, ( 3 H) and carbon-14 ( 14 C) isotopes are useful for these embodiments because of their detectability.

Example 17
S1P1R Antagonist Assay
The S1P1R antagonist assay is a fluorescent membrane potential dye measurement assay, indicative of intracellular cAMP changes due to G protein-coupled receptor activation. HEK293 cells engineered to express human S1P1 receptors and a cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel are obtained from BD Biosciences, 80300-250. The CNG channels are activated by elevated levels of cAMP, resulting in ion flux and cell membrane depolarization. Membrane depolarization is detected with a membrane potential dye. Stimulation of the cells with 5′-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), an A2b receptor agonist (Sigma, E2387), elicits an A2bR-dependent increase in cAMP.
Subsequent exposure of the cells to a S1P1R agonist suppresses the NECA induced increase in cAMP through 51P1R-specific signaling by inhibiting adenylyl cyclase and the formation of cAMP from ATP. The degree to which a test compound overcomes the S1P1R agonist suppression of the NECA induced increase in cAMP is a measure of S1P1R antagonist activity. Antagonist activity is quantified as the IC 50 (i.e., the concentration needed to elicited one-half of the maximum response of the test compound) and/or as the EC 50 (i.e., the concentration needed to elicited one-half of the NECA induced stimulation).
Day 1: Freshly thawed cells were plated into 384-well plates (Corning, 3683) at a density of 14,000 cells/well in 20 μL, complete media and incubated for 16 hours at 37° C., 5% CO 2 and 99% relative humidity. Complete media included Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Invitrogen, 11965-092), 10% Fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, SH30071.03), 250 μg/mL geneticin (Invitrogen, 10131-027), and 1 μg/mL Puromycin (Fluka, 82595).
Day 2: Membrane potential dye (20 μL, BD Biosciences, 341833) was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 2.5 hours at ambient temperature. Test compounds (20 μL) were added to the wells at various concentrations (≦10 μM, 1 to 3 dilutions) in a NECA base solution and incubated for 90 minutes in the presence of the S1P1R agonist {4-((4-phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-thienyl)methoxy)benzyl}-3-azetidinecarboxylic acid (10 nM). The NECA-base solution contained Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (Invitrogen, 14190-136), 2.5% DMSO (Fluka, 41648), 25 μM Ro 20-1724 (Sigma, B8279), and 500 nM NECA).
A HEK293 cell line that expresses the human CB1 receptor and a CNG channel (BD Biosciences, 80500-211) were used as the counterscreen. CB1R cells were stimulated with 500 nM NECA and with CB1R agonist CP-55940 (10 nM) causing a CB1R-specific decrease of NECA-induced elevated levels of cAMP. Specific S1P1R antagonists will have no effect on CB1R activation.
Assay plates were read with a PerkinElmer EnVision reader (Excitation 350 nm, Emission 590 nm) at time T=0 minutes, before compound addition and at time T=90 minutes. The signal was calculated as the ratio T90/T0. Data was analyzed in ActivityBase XE and graphs showing log of compound concentration (X-axis) vs. % activity (Y-axis) were generated for IC 50 determinations. Percent activity was calculated with the following formula: (Signal−Agonist Control Signal)/(NECA Control Signal−Agonist Control Signal)×100.
Suitable S1P1R and CB agonists for use in the S1P1R antagonist assay are known in the art. For example, fingolimod or 2-amino-2-(4-nonylphenethyl)propane-1,3-diol, is a known S1P1R agonist. Methods for making and using fingolimod are found in European Patent Application EP0627406. 1-{4-((4-Phenyl-5-trifluoromethyl-2-thienyl)methoxy)benzyl}-3-azetidinecarboxylic acid is a known S1P1R agonist and methods for making and using it are found in WO 03/062252. Suitable CB1R agonists are known in the art, for example, WIN55, 212-2 and CP-55940 are commerically available (Sigma, W102 and C1112, respectively).
The S1P1R antagonists of this invention were assayed by the methods described in Example 17 and were found to inhibit the S1P1R agonist elicited effects at IC 50 and/or EC 50 values ranging from about 1 nM to about 2 μM concentrations. In contrast, the S1P1R antagonists of this invention were found not to inhibit CB1R elicited effects. The activities the S1P1R antagonists of this invention are indicated in Table 2, wherein the letters A, B and C denote, respectively, that a compound has an EC 50 or IC 50 value of (i) less than or equal to 0.3 μM, (ii) greater than 0.3 μM, but less than or equal to 1 μM, and (iii) greater than 1 μM.
