Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds and methods from the treatment of cancer. The invention provides compounds that inhibit Aurora kinase, pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds that inhibit Aurora kinase, and methods for the treatment of cancer using the compounds of the presentation invention or pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the present invention.

Claims (30)

1. A method for inhibiting Aurora kinase activity comprising contacting a cell in a subject in which inhibition of Aurora kinase A or B is desired with a compound, wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of:

4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester,

6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide,

4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester,

2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide, and

6-Diethylamino-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide,

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide trihydrochloride salt.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is 6-Diethylamino-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

9. A method for treating an Aurora kinase-mediated disorder in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound,

wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of

4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester,

6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide,

4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester, and

2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide, or

a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;

wherein the Aurora kinase-mediated disorder is a cancer;

wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, brain cancer, bone cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, lung cancer, renal cancer, pancreatic cancer, sarcoma, leukemia, and lymphoma.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of administering to a subject an additional therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of: antimetabolites, protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and antibodies.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 6-piperazin-1-yl-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 4-[6-(1H-Indazol-6-ylcarbamoyl)-2-(3-methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-3H-benzimidazol-5-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 2-(3-Methylpyridin-2-ylamino)-6-piperazin-1-yl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the compound is 6-Diethylamino-2-(2-trifluoromethyl-phenylamino)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid (1H-indazol-6-yl)-amide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
