Description

"Use of indigoid bisindole derivatives for the manufacture of a medicament to inhibit cyclin dependent kinases"
Description
The present invention relates to the use of indigoid bisindole derivatives for the manufacture of a medicament for inhibiting cyclin dependent kinases, particularly CDK 1 , CDK2, CDK 4 and CDK 5, more particularly ATP:Proteinphosphotransfer- ase p34cdc2 (CDK1 ) .
Indigoid bisindoles comprise a spectrum of natural dye stuffs. Many of these can be obtained from plants. Accordingly, indirubine, indigo and isoindigo are natural products which can be obtained from different plants: namely, Baphicacanthus cusia (Acanthaceae), Indigofera suffruticosa (Fabaceae), Isatis indigotica (Brassi- caceae) and others. Indican, a glycoside which is found in plants, gives glucose and 3-hydroxyindole due to acidic or enzymatic hydrolysis. 3-Hydroxyindole is converted by air-oxidation into indigo and its isomers. Indigo naturalis (Chinese: quingdai) is the natural blue dye obtained from plant material, e.g. Isatis indigotica (Brassicaceae) . Indirubine, an isomer of indigo, can be found in Indigo natura- Ms in an amount of up to 60% (Falbe J . & Regitz M., Rόmpp Chemie Lexikon
(1 992), 9. Aufl., Stuttgart, Georg Thieme Veriag) . It occurs also in Isatis tincto- ria in an amount of up to 5% which is indigenous to Central Europe (Gelius R., Z. Chem., 20, (1 980), 340-341 ) .
Indigo naturalis is reported to be used in traditional Chinese medicine εs a hemostatic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and sedative agent in the treatment of bacterial and viral infections. Antileukemic effects of Indigo naturalis have also been reported, with indirubine being the effective principle (Ji X. et al., Acta Pharm. Sin., 1 6, ( 1 981 ), 146-1 48; Gan W. J . et al., J . Hematol., 6, (1 985), 61 1 -61 3) . Furthermore, derivatives of indirubine are known for a long time as dyes of low persistence. Few, structurally quite different types of p34cdc2 inhibitors have been described up to now. They are either of natural origin or derived from natural compounds and show varying degrees of inhibitory activities. Examples are Staurosporine, an alkaloid from Streptomyces sp, Butyrolactone-I from Aspergillus terreus var., Flavopiridol, a novel promising anti-tumour agent derived by partial synthesis from a parent structure found in the indian plant Dysoxylum binectariferum, 9- Hydroxyellipticin from the plants Ochrosia elliptica and Ochrosia acuminata, the purine derivatives olomoucine, roscovitine and isopentenyladenine and some peptides. The mechanism of these compounds is based on competitive inhibition of ATP binding (Meijer , Trends in Cell Biology, 6, (1 996), 393-397) .
For determination of the IC 50-vaiues: p34cdc2/cyclin B was purified from M phase starfish (Marthasterias glacialis) oocytes by affinity chromatogaphy on p9CKShs1-Sepharose beads, from which it was eluted by free p9CKShs1 as described (Meijer et al., Eur. J. Biochem., 243, (1 997), 527-536) . It was assayed with 1 mg histone H 1 (Sigma type lll-S)/ml, in the presence of 1 5 μM |>-32P] ATP (3,000 Ci/mmol; 1 mCi/ml) in a final volume of 30 μl. After 10 min. incubation at 30°C, 25 μl aliquots of supernatant were spotted onto 2.5 x 3 cm pieces of Whatman P81 phosphocellulose paper, and after 20 sec, the filters v^re washed five times (for at least 5 min. each time) in a solution of 10 ml phosphoric acid/liter of water. The wet filters were transferred into 6 ml plastic scintillation vials, 5 ml ACS (Amersham) scintillation fluid was added and the radioactivity measured in a Packard scintillation counter. The kinase activity was expressed in pmoles phosphate incorporated into histone H 1 /10 min incubation or in % of maximal activity.
The strongest inhibitors of p34 are derivatives of staurosporine (IC 50
0,003-0,03 μM) . The selectivity of these inhibitors is, however, rather poor. They also show more or less potent inhibitory activity to quite a wide range of cellular kinases. Table 1 shows the specifity of known chemical inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases (IC50-values given in μM) (cf. Meijer L, Trends in Cell Biology, 6, ( 1 996), 393-397) . Tab. 1 :

Cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases (CDK) have an essential role for driving the cell through the cell cycle (cell division cycle, cdc) . During the cell division cycle, oscillations in concentrations and activities of cyclins are observed. This applies, e.g. to cyclins D and E in the so-called G 1 -phase of the cell cycle and to cyclinA (S- and M-Phase) and cycIinB (G2- and M-Phase) .
The cyclin dependent kinases are activated by association with a member of the cyclin-family. Up to now, eight human CDKs have been described: CDK1 ( = p34cdc2), CDK2 to CDK8. CDK-proteins consist of a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit, the cyclins (Meijer et al., Eur. J. Biochem., 243, ( 1 997), 527-536) . Every step of the cell division cycle is regulated by specific CDK/cyc- lin complexes which ascertain a strict control. Important checkpoints are at the transition from G 1 phase to S phase and from G2 phase to M phase (Pines J., Cancer Biology, 6, (1 995), 63-72). The p34cdc2/cyclinB complexes are important components at the G2-M-checkpoint.
Fig.1 shows the points of action of the cyclin CDK complex cdc2/cyclinB in the cell divsion cycle (M = mitosis, cell division; G = gap; S = synthesis; interphase = G^ S + G^.
The cdc2/cyclinB complexes are the primary active protein kinases in mitosis. They accumulate in an inactive state in the cytoplasm in interphase cells, and are then rapidly activated by cdc25 phosphatase and translocated into the nucleus at the beginning of mitosis (Pines J., Hunter J., Cell Biol., 1 1 5(1 ) , ( 1 991 ), 1 -1 7) . CyclinB is degraded at the metaphase-anaphase transition, inactivating cdc2, which is necessary for exit from mitosis (Glotzer et al., Nature, 349(6305). (1 991 ), 132-138; Murray A.W., Nature, 339(6222). (1 989), 280-286; Surana U. et al., Cell, 65(1). (1 991 ), 145-1 61 ) . Multiple changes of
CDK proteins and their regulators are associated with the development of human tumours (Cordon-Cardo C, Am. J. Pathol., 147(3), (1 995), 545-560) .
Thus, the technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide new inhibitors for cyclin dependent kinases, particularly CDK 1 , CDK2, CDK 4 and
CDK 5, more particularly ATP:Proteinphosphotransferase p34cdc2 (CDK1 ), which exhibit a high selectivity as well as high efficiency compared to the inhibitors known in the art.
The solution to the above technical problem is achieved by the embodiments characterized in the claims.
In particular, the present invention relates to the use of indigoid bisindole derivatives for the manufacture of a medicament for inhibiting cyclin dependent kinases, particularly CDK 1 , CDK2, CDK 4 and CDK 5, more particularly
ATP:Proteinphosphotransferase p34cdc2 (CDK1 ), in mammals, preferably in man. Preferably, the indigoid bisindole derivatives are selected from indigo derivatives, isoindigo derivatives or indirubine derivatives. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the indirubine derivate is a compound having the general formula (I)

In the search for new selective inhibitors of cellular signalling pathways, it has surprisingly been found that indigoid bisindole derivatives are highly selective inhibitors of the enzyme complex p34cdc2/cyclinB. An inhibition of p34cdc2-kinase by indigoid bisindole derivatives is not described in the prior art. Surprisingly, it has turned out that indigoid bisindole derivatives are both highly selective and highly effective inhibitors of cdc2-kinase and other cyclin dependent kinases (CDK's), showing IC50-values with the isolated enzyme down to submicromolar range. The inhibition of CDK-activities also is observed in cell culture, using human tumor cell lines. As an example, indirubin-3'-monoxime was found to inhibit histone H 1 phosphorylation as a measure for CDK1 /cyclin B activity after 24 h incubation of MCF-7 mammary carcinoma cells. Moreover, the content of cyclin B complex was significantly reduced. Cells arrested by serum deprivation after treatment for 24 h with indirubin-3'-monoxime in serum containing medium exhibited an arrest in G 1 -phase of the cell cycle at low micromolar concentrations of the substance. In concentrations > 5 μM, an additional arrest at G2/M-phase of the cell cycle became apparent. Cells arrested in G2/m by Nocodazole treatment after release of the block exhibited a significant increase of G2/M arrested cells under treatment with > 5 μM indirubin-3'-monoxime, resulting in a massive accumulation of cells in G2/M. Concomitantly with the observed intracellular effects, growth inhibition was induced in the same concentration range, resulting in an IC50-value of 3.3 ± 0.7 μM after 3 days incubation (IC50 = concentration that induces 50% growth inhibition as compared to vehicle control) . In addition, induction of apoptotic cell death was observed.
Based on the above mentioned selective inhibitory potency down to the nanomolar range, indirubine derivatives can be used for analytical biochemistry, especially for the study of cell cycle effects. Furthermore, these compounds can be used for the treatment of diseases in patients, which are connected to the loss of proliferation control without any restriction to these potential areas of application. These include cancers, psoriasis, cardiovascular diseases (stenosis, restenosis) (Brooks et al., J. Biol. Chem., 272, ( 1 997), 29207-2921 - 1 ), infectious diseases (unicellular parasites (Trypanosoma, Toxoplasma, Plasmodium, etc.), fungi, etc.), nephrology (glomerulonephritis: Pippin et al., J. Gin. Invest., 100, ( 1 997), 251 2-2520), neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer disease (Imahori, K., Uchida T., J. Biochem., 1 21 , ( 1 997), 1 79-1 88), viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (Bresnahan W. A. et al., Virology 231,(1 997), 239-247) and HIV (Mancebo H.S.Y. et al., Genes & Dev., H, (1 997), 2633-2644) .

Example 1 : Synthesis of indirubine
To a solution of 0.42 g (2.4 mmol) of indoxyl acetate in 20 ml methanol under argon 0.35 g (2.4 mmol) of isatin and 0.55 g (5.2 mmol) of sodium carbonate are added. The mixture is stirred for 30 min at ambient temperature. After 24 h standing at ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered off. The precipitate is washed with little methanol and water until the filtrate shows a neutral pH. Residual water is removed by storage in an evacuated exsiccator over potassium hydroxide. Recrystallisation from ethanol or pyridine gives deep purple crystals (Russell G.A., Kaupp G. ( 1 969), J. Am. Chem. Soc, 9JL, 3851 -
