Abstract
This invention relates to the discovery of substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide with reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects which should lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have the general formula shown below wherein the substituents have the meanings defined in claim 1: and which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting megakaryocytopoeisis and hence the formation of blood platelets.
Claims21
A compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof:
- wherein:
- one of R1 and R2 is Ra, and the other is hydrogen or Ra;
- or R1 and R2 together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a blocking group which functions to prevent metabolic reaction at the 3-position;
- wherein said blocking group is C3-8 cycloalkyl group substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rb;
- a C2-6 alkenyl group substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rb;
- or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group;
- R5, R6, R7 and R8 are each independently selected from hydrogen, Rf and Rg;
- R9 is hydrogen, C1-6 alkyl or a Group I metal ion;
- Ra is selected from —C(O)Rc, —C(O)ORc, —OC(O)Rc, —N(Rc)Rd, —C(O)N(Rc)Rd, —N(Rc)C(O)Rd, C1-6 alkyl substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rb;
- C2-6 alkenyl substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rb;
- carbocyclyl substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rb;
- and optionally substituted heterocyclyl;
- Rb is selected from —N(Rc)Rd, —C(O)N(Rc)Rd, carbocyclyl and heterocyclyl, wherein the carbocyclyl and heterocyclyl groups are each optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 substituents independently selected from halo, cyano, amino, hydroxy, nitro, C1-6 alkyl and C1-6 alkoxy;
- Rc and Rd are each independently hydrogen or Re;
- Re is selected from C1-6 alkyl and C2-6 alkenyl, either of which is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 substituents independently selected from halo, cyano, amino, hydroxy, nitro, C1-6 alkyl and C1-6 alkoxy;
- Rf is selected from C1-6 alkyl and C2-6 alkenyl, either of which is optionally substituted with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Rg;
- Rg is selected from halo, trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, —ORc, —C(O)Rc, —C(O)ORc, —OC(O)Rc, —S(O)1Rc, —N(Rc)Rd, —C(O)N(Rc)Rd, —N(Rc)C(O)Rd, —S(O)1N(Rc)Rd and —N(Rc)S(O)1Rd;
- 1 is 0, 1 or 2.
