[0001] PYRROLO [1,2-A]-AZOCINE ANALOGUES AS IAP ANTAGONISTS Technical Field The present disclosure relates to new inhibitors / antagonists of IAP and to therapeutic methods of treating conditions and diseases wherein inhibition / antagonism of IAP proteins provides a benefit. The present inhibitors effectively bind to IAP proteins, including XIAP, cIAPl, and cIAP2. Background of the Invention Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a cell process critical for homeostasis, normal development, host defense, and suppression of oncogenesis. Faulty regulation of apoptosis has been implicated in many human diseases, including cancer, and it is now recognized that resistance to apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer. As a consequence, targeting of key apoptosis regulators has emerged as an attractive strategy for the development of new approaches to human cancer treatment. Most current cancer therapies, including chemotherapeutic agents, radiation, and immunotherapy, indirectly induce apoptosis in cancer cells. The inability of cancer cells to execute an apoptotic program due to defects in the normal apoptotic machinery is thus often associated with an increase in resistance to chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy-induced apoptosis. Such primary or acquired resistance of human cancers to current therapies due to apoptosis defects is a major problem in current cancer therapy. In order to improve survival and quality of life of cancer patients, current and future efforts in the design and development of new molecular target- specific anticancer therapies includes strategies that specifically target cancer cell resistance to apoptosis. In this regard, targeting negative regulators that play a central role in directly inhibiting apoptosis in cancer cells represents a highly promising therapeutic strategy for new anticancer drug design. One class of central negative regulators of apoptosis is the Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs). The family of IAP proteins comprises 8 members, XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2, NAIP, ILP2, ML-IAP, survivin and BRUCE (also known as apollon). Members of the IAP family have been shown to inhibit programmed cell death through their ability to directly inhibit members of the caspase family of apoptotic enzymes, although the precise role of all 8 members is yet to be fully defined. The common structural feature of all IAP family members is a -70 amino acid zinc-binding fold termed the baculovirus IAP repeat (BIR) domain, which is present in one to three copies. Many interactions between IAPs and other proteins are mediated via a surface groove on the BIR domain. BIR domains may be classified by their peptide-binding specificity. There are three types of BIR domains; type III domains (capable of binding caspase (and caspase-like) peptides with a specificity for proline in the third (P3) position (e.g. XIAP BIR3), type II domains (like type III domains but lacking the proline requirement e.g. XIAP BIR2) and type I domains (which do not bind caspases or similar peptides, e.g. XIAP BIR1) (Eckelman et al. Cell Death and Differentiation 2008; 15: 920-928). BIRs are small (-70 amino acids) Zn- coordinated domains and a variety of proteins use their N-terminal to interact with the BIR domains grooves. BIR antagonists prevent caspases binding to BIRs and hence result in increased caspase activity thereby inducing auto-ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of IAPs. IAPs are overexpressed in many cancers including renal, melanoma, colon, lung, breast, ovarian and prostate cancers (Tamm et al., Clin. Cancer Research 2000; 6(5): 1796-803), and have been implicated in tumour growth, pathogenesis and resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy (Tamm 2000). Small molecule inhibitors of IAP proteins are known. For example, U.S. Patent Publication Application No. 2005 / 0197403 and U.S. Patent No. 7,960,372 disclose dimeric Smac mimetic compounds, each incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

In another embodiment, provided is a compound wherein a portion of the atoms at a position within the Compound of the disclosure are replaced, i.e., the Compound of the Disclosure is enriched at a position with an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. In another embodiment, provided is a compound wherein none of the atoms of the Compound of the Disclosure are replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number. Isotopically-labelled Compounds of the Disclosure can be prepared by methods known in the art. Compounds of the Disclosure contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms. The present disclosure encompasses the use of all such possible forms, as well as their racemic and resolved forms and mixtures thereof. The individual enantiomers can be separated according to methods known in the art in view of the present disclosure. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that they include both E and Z geometric isomers. All tautomers are also encompassed by the present disclosure. As used herein, the term "stereoisomers" is a general term for all isomers of individual molecules that differ only in the orientation of their atoms in space. It includes enantiomers and isomers of compounds with more than one chiral center that are not mirror images of one another (diastereomers). The term "chiral center" or "asymmetric carbon atom" refers to a carbon atom to which four different groups are attached. The terms "enantiomer" and "enantiomeric" refer to a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image and hence is optically active wherein the enantiomer rotates the plane of polarized light in one direction and its mirror image compound rotates the plane of polarized light in the opposite direction. The term "racemic" refers to a mixture of equal parts of enantiomers and which mixture is optically inactive. In one embodiment, Compounds of the Disclosure are racemic. The term "absolute configuration" refers to the spatial arrangement of the atoms of a chiral molecular entity (or group) and its stereochemical description, e.g., R or S. The stereochemical terms and conventions used in the specification are meant to be consistent with those described in Pure & Appl. Chem 68:2193 (1996), unless otherwise indicated. The term "enantiomeric excess" or "ee" refers to a measure for how much of one enantiomer is present compared to the other. For a mixture of R and S enantiomers, the percent enantiomeric excess is defined as │R - S│*100, where R and S are the respective mole or weight fractions of enantiomers in a mixture such that R + S = 1. With knowledge of the optical rotation of a chiral substance, the percent enantiomeric excess is defined as ([α]obs / [α]max)*100, where [α]obsis the optical rotation of the mixture of enantiomers and [α]max is the optical rotation of the pure enantiomer. Determination of enantiomeric excess is possible using a variety of analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy, chiral column chromatography or optical polarimetry. The term "about," as used herein, includes the recited number ± 10%. Thus, "about 10" means 9 to 11. The phrase “optionally substituted with one or more groups” as used herein refers to optionally substituted with 1-10 groups, preferably optionally substituted with 1-5 groups, and more preferably optionally substituted with 1,2, or 3 groups.

In light of the foregoing, any reference Compounds of the Disclosure appearing herein is intended to include compounds of Compounds of the Disclosure as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, or solvates thereof. The present disclosure encompasses the preparation and use of solvates of Compounds of the Disclosure. Solvates typically do not significantly alter the physiological activity or toxicity of the compounds, and as such may function as pharmacological equivalents. The term "solvate" as used herein is a combination, physical association and / or solvation of a compound of the present disclosure with a solvent molecule such as, e.g. a disolvate, monosolvate or hemisolvate, where the ratio of solvent molecule to compound of the present disclosure is about 2:1, about 1:1 or about 1:2, respectively. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, such as when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, "solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Compounds of the Disclosure can be present as solvated forms with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, and ethanol, and it is intended that the disclosure includes both solvated and unsolvated forms of Compounds of the Disclosure. One type of solvate is a hydrate. A "hydrate" relates to a particular subgroup of solvates where the solvent molecule is water. Solvates typically can function as pharmacological equivalents. Preparation of solvates is known in the art. See, for example, M. Caira et al, J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 93(3):601-611 (2004), which describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Similar preparation of solvates, hemisolvates, hydrates, and the like are described by E.C. van Tonder et al., AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech., 5(1): Article 12 (2004), and A.L. Bingham et al., Chem. Commun. 603-604 (2001). A typical, non-limiting, process of preparing a solvate would involve dissolving a Compound of the Disclosure in a desired solvent (organic, water, or a mixture thereof) at temperatures above 20°C to about 25°C, then cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g., filtration. Analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy can be used to confirm the presence of the solvate in a crystal of the solvate. III. Compositions In one aspect, the present disclosure provides compositions comprising the compound of the disclsoure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present disclosure are formulated in a conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and / or auxiliaries that facilitate processing of Compound of the Disclosure. These pharmaceutical compositions can be manufactured, for example, by conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. When a therapeutically effective amount of the Compound of the Disclosure is administered orally, the composition typically is in the form of a tablet, capsule, powder, solution, or elixir. When administered in tablet form, the composition additionally can contain a solid carrier, such as a gelatin or an adjuvant. The tablet, capsule, and powder contain about 0.01% to about 95%, and preferably from about 1% to about 50%, of a Compound of the Disclosure. When administered in liquid form, a liquid carrier, such as water, petroleum, or oils of animal or plant origin, can be added. The liquid form of the composition can further contain physiological saline solution, dextrose or other saccharide solutions, or glycols. When administered in liquid form, the composition contains about 0.1% to about 90%, and preferably about 1% to about 50%, by weight, of a Compound of the Disclosure. When a therapeutically effective amount of a Compound of the Disclosure is administered by intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection, the composition is in the form of a pyrogen-free, parenterally acceptable aqueous solution. The preparation of such parenterally acceptable solutions, having due regard to pH, isotonicity, stability, and the like, is within the skill in the art. A preferred composition for intravenous, cutaneous, or subcutaneous injection typically contains, an isotonic vehicle. Compounds of the Disclosure can be readily combined with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well-known in the art. Standard pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, 19th ed. 1995. Such carriers enable the active agents to be formulated as tablets, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a subject to be treated. Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by adding the Compound of the Disclosure to a solid excipient, optionally grinding the resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients include, for example, fillers and cellulose preparations. If desired, disintegrating agents can be added. Compound of the Disclosure can be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection can be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampules or in multidose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions can take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and can contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing, and / or dispersing agents. Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active agent in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of a Compound of the Disclosure can be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils or synthetic fatty acid esters. Aqueous injection suspensions can contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension. Optionally, the suspension also can contain suitable stabilizers or agents that increase the solubility of the compounds and allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. Alternatively, a present composition can be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use. Compounds of the Disclosure also can be formulated in rectal compositions, such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g., containing conventional suppository bases. In addition to the formulations described previously, the Compound of the Disclosure also can be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long-acting formulations can be administered by implantation (for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the Compound of the Disclosure can be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example, as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins. In particular, the Compounds of the Disclosure can be administered orally, buccally, or sublingually in the form of tablets containing excipients, such as starch or lactose, or in capsules or ovules, either alone or in admixture with excipients, or in the form of elixirs or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents.

MDA-MB-231 cells (ATCC) were maintained in DMEM medium with 10% FBS at 37°C and an atmosphere of 5% CO2. Cells grown in 384-well white plates (CorningCostar) were incubated with serially diluted compounds for 4 days. At the end of treatment, CellTiter-Glo (Promega) is added to the wells and luminescence is acquired on TECAN SPARK plate reader. Untreated cells are used as control. Data points are fit with an equation (e.g., a four-parameter equation) to generate a concentration-response curve. IC50 values are calculated using a nonlinear regression analysis of the mean ± SD from triplicate. Binding Affinity Assay. Sensitive and quantitative fluorescence polarization (FP) based assays were used to determine the binding affinities of compounds to cIAP1 BIR3 and XIAP BIR3 proteins with SM-Tracer-YQY as the tracer by following the procedure reported before (J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54, 2714–2726, dx.doi.org / 10.1021 / jm101505d). Immunoblotting. MDA-MB-231 cells (ATCC) were maintained in DMEM medium with 10% FBS at 37°C and an atmosphere of 5% CO2. Cells were treated as indicated, collectd, washed with PBS and lysed in 1X Cell Lysis Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, #9803). Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE NuPAGE gel (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and transferred to a PVDF membrane (Millipore). Membranes were blocked using Odyssey TBS Blocker Buffer (LI-COR). IRDye 680RD and 800CW Dye-labeled secondary antibodies (LI-COR) were used. The washed membranes were scanned using Odyssey CLx imager (LI-COR). The intensity of Western blot signaling was quantitated using the Odyssey software. Primary antibodies used are: cIAP1 rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling Technology, #7065), cIAP2 rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling Technology, #3130), β-actin mouse monoclonal antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, #4967) and GAPDH mouse monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-47724). The data for some exemplary compounds are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1. Cell growth inhibition data (For the IC50, A = <10 nM; B = 10 – 100 nM; and C = 100 – 1000 nM).
[0007] Table 2. Binding affinity data (For the IC50, A <10 nM; B = 10 – 30 nM; C = 30 – 100 nM; D = 100 – 300 nM and E > 300 nM).
[0008] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 and Table 2 that compounds of the present disclosure have IC50 values at the nM level. The introduction of non-hydrogen substituents at the R1 and / or R2 positions results in a further significant improvement in inhibitory activity and binding affinity in contrst to control compound SM-406. In addition, it can be seen from Figure 1 and Figure 2 that compounds with non-hydrogen substituents at the R1 and / or R2 positions result in much stronger degradations of cIAP1 and / or cIAP2 than the control compound SM-406.
