The present invention generally relates to a method of treating resistant rheumatic disease, such as refractory rheumatoid arthritis, with a therapeutically effective amount of a dual action p38 inhibitor that is safe and well-tolerated. A dual action p38 kinase inhibitor is a compound that inhibits both activation of p38 kinase and p38 kinase activity in cells.

A large number of cytokines participate in the inflammatory response, including IL- 1 , IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-a. Overproduction of cytokines such as IL-1 and TNF-a are implicated in a wide variety of diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, endotoxin shock, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and congestive heart failure, among others. See e.g., Henry et al., Drugs Fut. , 24: 1345- 1354 ( 1999); Salituro et al., Curr. Med. Ckem., 6:807-823 (1999)]. Important mediators of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFct and IL-1 β,. as well as cellular responses to such cytokines production, are the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, and in particular, p38 kinase. See e.g., Schieven, G.L., “The biology of p38 kinase: a central role in inflammation”, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 5 :921 – 928 (2005). Accordingly, modulation of p38 kinase may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory disease including rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

1. Aminolysis with hexyllithium

To a dried 100 ml flask was added THF (10 ml) under nitrogen, which was then cooled to -10⁰C. Hexyllithium (2.3 M in hexane, 6.5 ml, 15.0 mmol) was added slowly (exothermic, temperature was up to 5°C), followed by dropwise addition of propylamine (1.01 g, 1.4 ml, 17.1 mmol) at such a rate to maintain the temperature below 5°C. The resulting mixture was stirred at O⁰C for 20 minutes. A suspension of ester compound I (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) in THF (12 ml) was added over a 10 minute period (exothermic, T<5°C). After being stirred at 0⁰C for 20 minutes, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 5 hours. Ester compound I was <0.1 AP at this point by HPLC analysis. The mixture was cooled to -5⁰C. Acetic acid (2 ml) was added slowly to maintain the temperature <10°C. The resulting thick slurry was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes, and then solvents were exchanged with DMF (15 ml) on a rotavapor. To the resulting yellow slurry, water (15 ml) was added slowly to keep T<25°C. During the addition of water, the slurry became a clear solution, and a new slurry was formed. The slurry was stirred at room temperature for overnight. In the morning the slurry was filtered and the solid was washed with DMF/water (1:1, 5 ml), water (5 ml) and acetone (5 ml). The cake was dried under vacuum at 55°C for 24 hours to afford 0.90 g of amide product II (yield: 87.2%) as a white solid. HPLC: 99.70 AP.

2. Aminolysis with n-butyllithium

To a dried 100 ml of flask was added THF (10 ml) under nitrogen and then cooled to -10⁰C. n-Butyllithium (2.5 M in hexane, 6.0 ml, 15.0 mmol) was added slowly, followed by dropwise addition of propylamine (0.98 g, 16.5 mmol) at such a rate to keep the temperature below 0⁰C. The resulting mixture was stirred at O⁰C for 20 minutes. A suspension of ester compound I (1.0 g, 2.5 mmol) in THF (12 ml) was added over a 10 minute period (T<5°C). After being stirred at O⁰C for 30 minutes, the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for overnight (~22h, Note 1). Compound I was not detected at this point by HPLC analysis. The mixture was cooled to -7°C. Acetic acid (2 ml) was added dropwise to maintain the temperature <10°C. The resulting thick slurry was stirred at 5⁰C for 2 hours and at room temperature for 20 minutes, followed by evaporation on a rotavapor to give a wet yellow solid. To this solid was added acetone (10 ml) and water (20 ml). The slurry was stirred at room temperature for one and half hours. Filtration gave a white solid. This solid was washed with 35% acetone in water (10 ml), water (5 ml) and acetone (5 ml). The cake was dried under vacuum at 55°C for the weekend to afford 0.94g of amide product II (yield: 91.0%) as a white solid. HPLC: 99.76 AP. Note 1: Compound I was -0.056 AP at 2.5 hours.

Discovery of 4-(5-(Cyclopropylcarbamoyl)-2-methylphenylamino)-5-methyl-N-propylpyrrolo[1,2-f][1,2,4]triazine-6-carboxamide (BMS-582949), a clinical p38a MAP kinase inhibitor for the treatment of inflammatory diseases
J Med Chem 2010, 53(18): 6629

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jm100540x

The discovery and characterization of 7k (BMS-582949), a highly selective p38α MAP kinase inhibitor that is currently in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, is described. A key to the discovery was the rational substitution of N-cyclopropyl for N-methoxy in 1a, a previously reported clinical candidate p38α inhibitor. Unlike alkyl and other cycloalkyls, the sp² character of the cyclopropyl group can confer improved H-bonding characteristics to the directly substituted amide NH. Inhibitor 7k is slightly less active than 1a in the p38α enzymatic assay but displays a superior pharmacokinetic profile and, as such, was more effective in both the acute murine model of inflammation and pseudoestablished rat AA model. The binding mode of 7k with p38α was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

EXAMPLE 3

Direct Aminolysis

Ester Compound I

Amide Product II

Method A:

A solution of n-propylamine (6.5 eq) in THF (20 ml/g of ester compound I) was cooled to — 5°C and was slowly treated with 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium (6.1 eq). The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. At the end of the period, a slurry of ester compound I (1 eq) in THF (14 ml/g of ester compound I) was cannulated into the performed Li-NHPr solution. The reaction mixture was warmed to 25°C and stirred till all of ester compound I was consumed (~ 3 hours). After the reaction was judged to be completed by HPLC, the reaction mixture was cooled to ~0°C and was slowly treated with acetic acid (5 ml/g of ester compound I). The slurry was then warmed to -2O⁰C and was stirred for 1 hour. At the end of the period, the solvent was distilled under vacuum to the minimum volume and the concentrated slurry was diluted with a solution of acetone (10 ml/g of ester compound I) and water (20 ml/g of ester compound I). The slurry was stirred for 1 hour and was cooled to ~5°C. The slurry was filtered and the cake was washed with acetone (5 ml/g of ester compound I). The cake was dried to give the amide product II (typically in 85% yield and 99 AP).

Method B:

A solution of n-propylamine (20 eq) in 2,2,2-trifmoroethanol (10 ml/g of ester compound I) was slowly treated with 2.5 M solution of n-butyllithium (1.5 eq). The mixture was stirred for 5 minutes. At the end of the period, the starting material, ester compound I, was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to 90⁰C. The reaction mixture was held at 90⁰C for 24 hours and was allowed to cool to ~20°C. The reaction mixture was then analyzed by HPLC. Typically, analysis indicated there was only 1.57 AP of starting material left.

Method C:

A solution of n-propylamine (2 eq) in methylene chloride (10 ml/g of ester compound I) at 20⁰C was slowly treated with 2.0 M solution of trimethylaluminum (4 eq) in hexanes. The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes. At the end of the period, the starting material, ester compound 1 (1 eq), was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to 60⁰C. The reaction mixture was held at 60⁰C for 24 hours and was allowed to cool to ~20°C. The reaction mixture was then slowly quenched with aqueous HCl solution and analyzed by HPLC. Typically, analysis indicated there was 96.8AP of amide compound II product with 0.03 AP of the dipropylamide impurity.
