Quinazoline based EGFR inhibitors
The present invention relates to quinazoline containing zinc-binding moiety based derivatives of formula I that have enhanced and unexpected properties as inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) and their use in the treatment of EGFR-TK related diseases and disorders such as cancer.
1. A method of inhibiting epidermal growth factor tyrosine kinase activity in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound represented by formula (I):
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, wherein
X is O, S, CH 2 , or CONH;
B is an unsubstituted C 3 to C 9 alkylene;
R 1 is selected from hydrogen, hydroxy, and C 1 to C 4 alkoxy;
each R 2 is independently selected from halogen, hydroxy, C 1 to C 4 alkyl, C 2 to C 4 alkenyl, and C 2 to C 4 alkynyl; and
n is 1, 2 or 3.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is represented by formula (II):
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein B is a straight chain C 5 to C 7 alkylene.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein B is a straight chain C 6 alkylene.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound of formula (II) is represented by formula (III):
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein B is a straight chain C 5 to C 7 alkylene.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein R 1 is hydroxy or methoxy and B is a straight chain C 6 alkylene.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the compound of formula (II) is represented by formula (IV):
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein B is a straight chain C 5 to C 7 alkylene.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein R 1 is hydroxy or methoxy and B is a straight chain C 6 alkylene.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is represented by formula (V):
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein B is a straight chain C 5 to C 7 alkylene.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein R 1 is hydroxy or methoxy and B is a straight chain C 6 alkylene.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase related cancer.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase related cancer is selected from the group consisting of papilloma, glioblastoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, astrocytoma, head cancer, neck cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and Burkitt's disease.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein B is an unsubstituted straight chain C 6 alkylene.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein R 1 is selected from hydrogen, hydroxy and methoxy.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein each R 2 is independently selected from Br, Cl, F, hydroxy and ethynyl.
19. The method of claim 1 wherein n is 1 or 2.
20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is of the formula:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof.
