Full Text | HETEROARYL UREA DERIVATIVES USEFUL FOR INHIBITING CHK1 FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compounds useful for inhibiting enzymes that maintain and repair the integrity of genetic material. More particularly, the present invention relates to a series of aryl- and heteroaryl-substituted urea compounds, methods of making the compounds, and their use as therapeutic agents, for example, in treating cancer and other diseases characterized by defects in deoxyribonucleic acid BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A large variety of diseases, conditions, and disorders (hereinafter "indications") are characterized as involving aberrantly proliferating cells. As used herein, "aberrantly proliferating cells" (or "aberrant cell proliferation") means cell proliferation that deviates from the normal, proper, or expected course. For example, aberrant cell proliferation includes inappropriate proliferation of cells wherein DNA or other cellular components have become damaged or defective. Aberrant cell proliferation also characterizes clinical indications caused by, mediated by, or resulting in inappropriately high levels of cell division, inappropriately low levels of cell death (e.g., apoptosis), or both. Such indications can be characterized, for example, by single or multiple local abnormal proliferations of cells, groups of cells or tissue(s), and include cancerous (benign or malignant) and noncancerous indications. By definition, all cancers (benign and malignant) involve some form of aberrant cell proliferation. Some noncancerous indications also involve aberrant cell proliferation. Examples of noncancerous indications involving aberrant cell proliferation include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, vitiligo, Wegener's granulomatosis, and systemic lupus. One approach to treating indications involving aberrantly proliferating cells involves the use of DNA damaging agents. These agents are designed to kill aberrantly proliferating cells by disrupting vital cellular processes such as DNA metabolism, DNA synthesis, DNA transcription, and microtubule spindle formation. They also can operate, for example, by introducing lesions into DNA that perturb chromosomal structural integrity. DNA damaging agents are designed and administered in ways that attempt to induce maximum damage and consequent cell death in aberrantly proliferating cells with a minimum damage to normal, healthy cells. A large variety of DNA damaging agents has been developed to date, including chemotherapeutics and radiation, and others are in development. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of DNA damaging agents in treating conditions involving aberrant cell proliferation has been less than desired, particularly in the treatment of cancer. The selectivity of such agents for aberrantly proliferating cells over healthy cells (sometimes referred to as the therapeutic index) often is marginal. Moreover, all cells have sensing and repair mechanisms that can work at cross purposes to DNA damaging agents. Such sensing mechanisms, called cell cycle checkpoints, help to maintain the order of the various cell replication stages and to ensure that each step is executed with high fidelity (Hartwell et al., Science, 246:629-634 (1989); Weinert et al., Genes Dev., 8:652 (1994)). When cells detect DNA damage, including . damage purposefully induced by DNA damaging agents, certain signaling pathways activate cell cycle checkpoints and the cell replication cycle temporarily' ' ceases ("arrests"). This arrest allows cells time to repair their DNA, often to a degree sufficient to allow them to continue to survive and proliferate. In the case of aberrantly proliferating cells, this repair is unwanted, as it may undermine efforts to induce DNA damage sufficient to kill such cells. For example, the chemotherapeutic agent called GEMZAR™ (gemcitabine, or 2',2'-difluoro-2'-deoxycytidine) damages DNA by incorporating itself into DNA during synthesis. Left unrepaired, damaged DNA generally is rendered incapable of sustaining life. In many targeted cells, however, cell cycle checkpoints detect the improperly made (or otherwise damaged) DNA. The activated cell cycle checkpoints trigger cell cycle arrest for a time sufficient to allow damaged DNA to be repaired. This is one way in which aberrantly proliferating cells are theorized to resist the cell- killing effect of DNA-damaging agents such as chemotherapeutics, radiation, and other therapies. Other DNA-damaging agents cause tumor cells to arrest in S-phase. Tumor cells have been observed to resist certain chemotherapeutics simply by arresting in S phase while the chemotherapeutic agent is being administered. Then, as soon as the drug is removed, DNA damage is repaired, cell cycle arrest ceases, and the cells progress through the remainder of the cell cycle (Shi et al., Cancer Res. 61:1065-1012, 2001). Other therapeutics cause cell cycle arrest at other checkpoints, including G1 and G2. Inhibition of various DNA damage checkpoints therefore is expected to assist in preventing cells from repairing therapeutically induced DNA damage and to sensitize targeted cells to DNA damaging agents. Such sensitization is in turn expected to increase the therapeutic index of these therapies. The cell cycle is structurally and functionally the same in its basic process and mode of regulation across all eukaryotic species. The mitotic (somatic) cell cycle consists of four phases: the Gl (gap) phase, the S (synthesis) phase, the G2 (gap) phase, and the M (mitosis) phase. The Gl, S, and G2 phases are collectively referred to as interphase of the cell cycle. During the Gl phase, biosynthetic activities of the cell progress at a high rate. The S phase begins when DNA synthesis starts, and ends when the DNA content of the nucleus of the cell has been replicated and two identical sets of chromosomes are formed. The cell then enters the G2 phase, which continues until mitosis starts. In mitosis, the chromosomes pair and separate, two new nuclei form, and cytokinesis occurs in which the cell splits into two daughter cells each receiving one nucleus containing one of the two sets of chromosomes. Cytokinesis terminates the M phase and marks the beginning of interphase of the next cell cycle. The sequence in which cell cycle events proceed is tightly regulated, such that the initiation of one cell cycle event is dependent on the completion of the prior cell cycle event. This allows fidelity in the duplication and segregation of genetic material from one generation of somatic cells to the next. It has been reported that cell cycle checkpoints comprise at least three distinct classes of polypeptides, which act sequentially in response to cell cycle signals or defects in chromosomal mechanisms (Carr, Science, 271:314-315, 1996). The first class is a family of proteins that detect or sense DNA damage or abnormalities in the cell cycle. These sensors include Ataxia-telangiectasia Mutated protein (Atm) and Ataxia- Telangiectasia Rad-related protein (Atr). The second class of polypeptides amplify and transmit the signal detected by the detector and is exemplified by Rad53 (Alen et al. Genes Dev. 8:2416-2488, 1994) and Chkl. A third class of polypeptides includes cell cycle effectors, such as p53, that mediate a cellular response, for example, arrest of mitosis and apoptosis. Much of the current understanding of the function of cell cycle checkpoints has been derived from the study of tumor derived cell lines. In many cases, tumor cells have lost key cell cycle check points (Hartwell et al., Science 266:1821-28, 1994). It has been reported that a key step in the evolution of cells to a neoplastic state is the acquisition of mutations that inactivate cell cycle checkpoint pathways, such as those involving p53 (Weinberg, Cell 32:323-330, 1995; Levine, Cell 83:3234-331, 1997). Loss of these cell cycle checkpoints results in the replication of tumor cells despite DNA damage. Noncancerous tissue, which has intact cell cycle checkpoints, typically is insulated from temporary disruption of a single checkpoint pathway. Tumor cells, however, have defects in pathways controlling cell cycle progression such that the perturbation of additional checkpoints renders them particularly sensitive to DNA damaging agents. For example, tumor cells that contain mutant p53 are defective both in the Gl DNA damage checkpoint and in the ability to maintain the G2 DNA damage checkpoint (Bunz et al., Science, 282:1491-501, 1998). Checkpoint inhibitors that target initiation of the G2 checkpoint or the S phase checkpoint are expected to further cripple the ability of these tumor cells to repair DNA damage and, therefore, are candidates to enhance the therapeutic index of both radiation and systemic chemotherapy (Gesner, Abstract at SRI Conference: Protein Phosphorylation and Drug Discovery World Summit, March 2003). In the presence of DNA damage or any impediment to DNA replication, the checkpoint proteins Atm and Atr initiate a signal transduction pathway leading to cell cycle arrest. Atm has been shown to play a role in a DNA damage checkpoint in response to ionizing radiation (IR). Atr is stimulated by agents that cause double strand DNA breaks, single strand DNA breaks, and agents that block DNA radiation. Chkl is a protein kinase that lies downstream from Atm and/or Atr in the DNA damage checkpoint signal transduction pathway (Sanchez et al., Science, 277:1497- 1501, 1997; U.S. Patent No. 6,218,109). In mammalian cells, Chkl is phosphorylated in response to agents that cause DNA damage including ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet (UV) light, and hydroxyurea (Sanchez et al., supra; Lui et al., Genes Dev., 14:1448-1459, 2000). This phosphorylation which activates Chkl in mammalian cells is dependent on Atm (Chen et al., Oncogene, 18:249-256, 1999) and Atr (Lui et al., supra). Furthermore, Chkl has been shown to phosphorylate both weel (O'Connell et al., EMBO J., 25:545-554, 1997) and Pdsl (Sanchez et al., Science, 286:1166-1171, 1999), gene products known to be important in cell cycle control. These studies demonstrate that mammalian Chkl plays a role in the Atm' dependent DNA damage checkpoint leading to arrest at S phase. A role for Chkl in the S phase mammalian cells has recently been elucidated (Feijoo et al., J. Cell Biol., 254:913-923, 2001; Zhao et al., PNAS U.S.A, 99:14795-800, 2002; Xiao et al., J Biol Chem. , 278 (24) .-21767-21773, 2003; Sorensen et al., Cancer Cell, 3(3):247-58, 2003) highlighting the role of Chkl in monitoring the integrity of DNA synthesis. Chkl invokes an S-phase arrest by phosphorylating Cdc25A, which regulates cyclinA/cdk2 activity (Xiao et al., supra and Sorensen et al./ supra). Chkl also invokes a G2 arrest by phosphorylating and inactivating Cdc25C, the dual specificity phosphatase that normally dephosphorylates cyclin-B/cdc2 (also known as Cdkl) as cells progress from G2 into mitosis (Fernery et al., Science, 277:1495-7, 1997; Sanchez et al., supra; Matsuoka et al., Science, 282:1893-1891, 1998; and Blasina et al., Curr. Biol., 9:1-10, 1999). In both cases, regulation of Cdk activity induces a cell cycle arrest to prevent cells from entering mitosis in the presence of DNA damage or unreplicated DNA. Additional classes of cell cycle checkpoint inhibitors operate at either the G1 or G2/M phase. UCN- 01, or 7-hydroxystaurosporine, originally was isolated as a nonspecific kinase inhibitor having its primary effect on protein kinase C, but recently has been found to inhibit the activity of Chkl and abrogate the G2 cell cycle checkpoint (Shi et al., supra). Thus, because UCN- 01 is a nonselective Chkl inhibitor, it is toxic to cells at high doses. At low doses, it nonspecifically inhibits many cellular kinases and also inhibits the G1 checkpoint (Tenzer et al., Curr. Med Chem. Anticancer Agents, -3:35- 46, 2003) . UCN-01 has been used in conjunction with cancer therapies, such as radiation, the anticancer agent camptothecin (Tenzer et al., supra), and gemcitabine (Shi et al., supra), with limited success. In addition, UCN- 01 has been used to potentiate the effects of temozolomide (TMZ) induced DNA mismatch repair (MMR) in glioblastoma cells (Hirose et al., Cancer Res., 62:5843- 5849, 2001). In the clinic, UCN-01 is not an effective chemotherapeutic as expected, possibly due to a failure in treatment scheduling and a lack of identification of particular key molecular targets (Grant et al., Drug Resistance Updates, 6:15-26, 2003). Thus, Mack et al. report cell cycle-dependent potentiation of cisplatin by UCN-01 in a cultured nonsmall-cell lung carcinoma cell line, but do not identify with specificity the key cell cycle checkpoint (s) targeted by UCN-01. (Mack et al., Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol., 51(4):337-348, 2003). Several other strategies exist for sensitizing tumor cells to treatment with cell cycle affecting chemotherapeutics. For example, administration of 2- aminopurine abrogates multiple cell cycle checkpoint mechanisms, such as mimosine-induced G1 arrest or hydroxyurea-induced S phase arrest, allowing the cell to progress into and through mitosis (Andreassen et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U.S.A., 86:2212-2216, 1992). Caffeine, a methylxanthine, has also been used to enhance cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents, such as cisplatin and ionizing radiation, by mediating progression through the G2 checkpoint and thereby inducing cell death. (Bracey et al., Clin.' Cancer Res., 3:1371-1381, 1997). However, the dose of caffeine used to accomplish the cell cycle abrogation exceeds clinically acceptable levels and is not a viable therapeutic option. Additionally, antisense nucleotides to Chkl kinase have been used to increase sensitivity to the topoisoraerase inhibitor BNP1350 (Yin et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 255:435-44, 2002), but demonstrate problems typically associated with antisense treatment and gene therapy.

As used herein, the term "C1-3alkyl" includes straight chain and branched alkyl groups containing one to three carbon atoms, i.e., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl. "Halo" is defined herein as fluoro, chloro, bromo, and iodo. "Cyano" is defined as -CN. "Trifluoromethyl" is defined to mean -CF3. The abbreviation "Me" is methyl, i.e., -CH3. DNA-damaging agents that activate cell cycle checkpoints generally are referred to herein as "checkpoint activators." DNA-damaging agents that activate the checkpoint designated "Chkl" (pronounced . "check-one") are referred to herein as "Chkl activators." Likewise, inhibitors of such checkpoints are referred to herein as "checkpoint inhibitors" and "Chkl inhibitors," respectively. As used herein, Chkl inhibitors are compounds that are capable of at least partially abrogating at least one cell cycle checkpoint activity of the Chkl protein. Abrogation of a cell cycle checkpoint is achieved when the cellular checkpoint mechanism is overcome sufficiently to allow the cell to pass from the cell cycle phase in which it is halted to the next phase in the cell cycle or to allow the cell to pass directly to cell death. Abrogation of a cell cycle checkpoint permits cells to carry damaged or imperfect genetic material to subsequent cell cycle phases, thereby inducing or promoting cell death. Cell death can occur by any mechanism, including apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe. The compounds of the invention are Chkl inhibitors. Chkl activator includes any known or after- discovered agent having the ability to activate Chkl kinase activity, and thus induce at least partial cell cycle arrest. Chkl activators include agents capable of arresting the cell cycle at any phase of the cell cycle, which phase may be referred to herein as the "target phase" for that activator. Target phases include any of the cell cycle phases except mitosis, i.e., any of the Gl, S, and G2 phases. Chkl activators useful in the invention include DNA damaging agents, such as chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation. Radiation Chkl activators include, but are not limited to, ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation includes elctromgnetic or particulate radiation capable of producing ion pairs by interacting with matter. Ionizing radiation includes x and gamma rays, alpha and beta particles, neutrons and charged nuclei. Radioation includes ultraviolet light-, visible light, infrared radiation, microwave radiation, and mixtures thereof. Assays such as that described in Example 8 can be used to determine whether an agent is a Chkl activator. "Inhibiting aberrant cell proliferation" means retarding the rate at which aberrantly proliferating cells proliferate or eliminating such proliferation altogether. This inhibition can result either from a decreased rate of replication, an increased rate of cell death, or both. Cell death can occur by any mechanism, including apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe. "Preventing aberrant cell proliferation" means inhibiting aberrant cell proliferation prior to occurrence, or inhibiting the recurrence thereof. "In vivo" means within a living subject, as within an animal or human. In this context, agents can be used therapeutically in vivo to retard or eliminate the proliferation of aberrantly replicating cells. The agents also can be used in vivo as a prophylactic to prevent aberrant cell proliferation or the manifestation of symptoms associated therewith. "Ex vivo" means outside a living subject. Examples of ex vivo cell populations include cell cultures and biological samples such as fluid or tissue samples from humans or animals. Such samples can be obtained by methods well known in the art. Exemplary biological fluid samples include blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, saliva. Exemplary tissue samples include tumors and biopsies. In this context; the present compounds can be in numerous applications, both therapeutic and experimental. "Radiosensitizer," as used herein, means a compound, administered to a human or other animal in a therapeutically effective amount to increase the sensitivity of cells to electromagnetic radiation and/or to promote the treatment of diseases treatable with electromagnetic radiation. "Radiation" as used herein includes/ but is not limited to, radiation having wavelengths in the range of 10"20 to 100 meters. The term "container" means any receptacle and closure therefor suitable for storing, shipping, dispensing, and/or handling a pharmaceutical product. The term "package insert" means information accompanying the product that provides a description of how to administer the product, along with the safety and efficacy data required to allow the physician, pharmacist, and patient to make an informed decision regarding use of the product. The package insert generally is regarded as the "label" for a pharmaceutical product. The present invention includes all possible stereoisomers and geometric isomers of the compounds of structural formula (I) or (II) . The present invention includes not only racemic compounds, but optically active isomers as well. When a compound of structural formula (I) or (II) is desired as a single enantiomer, it can be obtained either by resolution of the final product or by stereospecific synthesis from either isomerically pure starting material or use of a chiral auxiliary reagent, for example, see Z. Ma et al., Tetrahedron: Asymmetry, 8(6), 883-888 (1997). Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material can be achieved by any suitable method known in the art. Additionally, in situations where tautomers of the compounds of structural formula (I) or (II) are possible, the present invention is intended to include all tautomeric forms of the compounds. As demonstrated below, specific stereoisomers can exhibit an exceptional ability to inhibit Chkl in combination with chemotherapeutic or radiotherapeutic treatments. Prodrugs of compounds of structural formula (I) or (II) also can be used as the compound in a method of the present invention. It is well established that a prodrug approach, wherein a compound is derivatized into a form suitable for formulation and/or administration, then released as a drug in vivo, has been successfully employed to transiently (e.g., bioreversibly) alter the physicochemical properties of the compound (see, H. Bundgaard, Ed., "Design of Prodrugs," Elsevier, Amsterdam, (1985); R.B. Silverman, "The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action," Academic Press, San Diego, chapter 8, (1992); K.M-. Hillgren et al., Med. Res. Rev., 15, 83 (1995)) . Compounds of the present invention contain one or more functional groups. The functional groups, if desired or necessary, can be modified to provide a prodrug. Suitable prodrugs include, for example, acid derivatives, such as amides and esters. It also is appreciated by those skilled in the art that N-oxides can be used as a prodrug. Compounds of the invention can exist as salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the invention generally are preferred in the methods of the invention. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts or zwitterionic forms of the compounds of structural formula (I) or (II). Salts of compounds of formula (I) or (II) can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the compound with an acid having a suitable cation. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable cations include alkali metal (e.g., sodium or potassium) and alkaline earth metal (e.g., calcium or magnesium) cations.

The compounds of the present invention can be therapeutically administered as the neat chemical, but it is preferable to administer the compounds as a pharmaceutical composition or formulation. Thus, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the formula (I) or (II) together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor. Also provided is a process of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising admixing a compound of formula (I) or (II) with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier therefor. Accordingly, the present invention further provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising a compound of structural formula (I) or (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and, optionally, other therapeutic and/or prophylactic ingredients. The carriers are "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. Compounds of the invention exhibit unexpectedly high potency. Potency typically is expressed as the concentration of a compound required to achieve a certain result. The greater the potency, the less compound required to perform its intended function. In vitro potency typically is expressed in terras of IC50 values and measured using a dose-response assay. IC50 values can be measured by contacting a sensitive assay system with a compound of interest over a range of concentrations, including concentrations at which no or minimal effect is observed, through higher concentrations at which partial effect is observed, to saturating concentrations at which a maximum effect is observed. Theoretically, such assays of the dose-response effect of inhibitor compounds can be described as a sigmoidal curve expressing a degree of inhibition as a function of concentration when plotted on a log scale. The curve also theoretically passes through a point at which the concentration is sufficient to reduce activity of the checkpoint enzyme to a level that is 50% that of the difference between minimal and maximal enzyme activity observed in the assay. This concentration is defined as the Inhibitory Concentration at 50% inhibition or IC50 value. ICS0 values can be determined using conventional biochemical (acellular) assay techniques or cell-based assay techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. An example of such an assay is provided in Example 1 below. Preferably, IC5o values are obtained by performing the relevant assay at least twice, with the IC50 value expressed as the average (arithmetic mean, or "mean") of the individual values obtained. More preferably, the assay is repeated from 3 to 10 (or more) times, with the IC50 value expressed as the mean of the values obtained. Most preferably, the assay is performed a number of times sufficient to generate a statistically reliable mean IC50 value, using statistical methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Compounds of the invention 'exhibit unexpectedly low IC50 values, corresponding to unexpectedly high in vitro potency. Compounds of the invention, when assayed as described in Example 1 below, exhibit IC50 values of less than about 200 nM, in some embodiments less than about 150 nM, in other embodiments less than about 100 nM, in others less than about 50 nM, in others less than about 10 nM, and in others less than about 5 nM. In other embodiments, the compounds of the invention exhibit IC50 values from about 0.1 nM to about 5 nM. Compounds of the invention exhibit selectivity for inhibiting Chkl over other protein kinases. Selectivity may be advantageous in reducing adverse side effects and/or increasing therapeutic index. "Selectivity" is expressed herein as "fold selectivity." In general, fold selectivity, as used herein, is the IC50 of a test compound for a comparison enzyme divided by the IC50 of a comparator enzyme. In particular, fold selectivity for a Chkl inhibitor, as used herein, is the IC50 of a Chkl inhibitor (a test compound) for Chkl (the comparison enzyme) divided by the ICso for a comparator enzyme. Comparator enzymes against which compounds of the invention may be measured include at least the following protein kinases: Cdc2, Chk2, CTAK, EphAl, EphA2, Erkl, FGFR1, FGFR4, IR, JNKl, c-Kit, p38alpha, p38beta, p38delta, Ros, Rse, Rsk2, TrkA, TrkB, protein kinas A, protein kinas C, pp60v-src, protein kinase B/Akt-1, p38MapK, p70S6K, calcium calmodulin- dependent kinase II, and abl tyrosine kinase. Assays for determining ICS0 values for a test compound against a comparator enzyme are described in Example 2 and are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Compounds of the invention exhibit at least about 20-fold selectivity over the aforementioned protein kinases tested, in some embodiments, Chkl inhibitors of the present invention exhibit at least about 50-fold selectivity, in other embodiments at least about 75-fold . selectivity, in other embodiments at least about 100-fold selectivity in inhibiting Chkl over the aforementioned protein kinases tested. The compounds of the invention exhibit unexpectedly high potency in a cell-based assay. To measure cell-based potency of a Chkl inhibitor, an assay was developed that allows one to measure the concentration of Chkl inhibitor required to increase the growth-inhibiting effects of a DNA damaging agent in a cell-based model involving aberrantly proliferating cells." This measure of cell-based potency, is expressed herein as an "ECTrs" value, where "ECTFS" is the Effective Concentration of Chkl inhibitor that produces a Two-Fold Sensitization of a population of aberrantly proliferating cells to the growth-inhibiting effects of a DNA damaging agent. ECTFs is calculated to be the concentration of Chkl inhibitor that reduces the amount of DNA damaging agent required for 90% inhibition of cell growth by half. Applicants have found that the compounds of the invention exhibit unexpectedly low ECTFS values, corresponding to unexpectedly high cell-based potency. Another parameter that may be measured is the the fold sensitization achieved at the LD50 (the dose of compound alone that' inhibits growth of 50% of cells) for the Chkl inhibitor compound. These two values, BCTFS and fold sensitization at the LD50, allow direct ranking of both the potency and toxicity of Chkl inhibitors with respect to one another. An example of an assay useful to measure ECTFS values is described in Example 3 below. Briefly, this assay uses. HT29 human colon carcinoma cells as the population of aberrantly proliferating cells, gemcitabine as the DNA damaging agent/Chkl activator, and a compound of the invention as the Chkl inhibitor. The population of aberrantly proliferating cells is cultured and allowed to grow in a suitable growth medium. Subsequently, the cells are subjected to the DNA damaging agent over a range of concentrations. After a predetermined amount of time, the DNA damaging agent is removed, and the cells are subjected to a Chkl inhibitor over a range of concentrations and for a predetermined period of time. The plates of cultured cells then are harvested and the relative number of surviving cells is counted.- The data is normalized against Chkl inhibitor alone as control, and then plotted on a log/log graph of DNA damaging agent concentration vs. relative cell survival (100% equaling 1.0). The fold sensitization is derived from the difference between the amount of DNA damaging agent required to achieve 90% growth inhibition with and without Chkl inhibitor for each concentration of Chkl inhibitor used. These data then are plotted on a graph of Chkl inhibitor concentration vs. fold sensitization, from which ECTFs is calculated. Preferably ECTFs values are obtained by performing the assay at least twice, with the ECTFS value expressed as the mean of the individual values obtained. More preferably, the assay is repeated from 3 to 10 (or more) times, with the ECTFS value expressed as the mean of the values obtained. Most preferably, the assay is performed a number of times necessary to generate a statistically reliable mean ECTFS value, using statistical methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art. All compounds that were subject to an ECTFS assay exhibited ECTFS values of less than about 1000 nM. In contrast, structurally similar compounds that are previously known exhibit ECTFS values of about 11,000 nM. In some embodiments, compounds of the present invention exhibit ECTFS values of less than about 500 nM, in others less than about 300 nM, in others less than about 200 nM, in others less than about 150nM, in others less than about 100 nM, in others less than abut 50 nM, in others less than about 30 nM, and in others less than about 20 nM, or less than about 10 nM, or in other embodiments less than about 5 nM.

More specifically, a "therapeutically effective amount" means an amount sufficient to treat an individual suffering an indication, or to alleviate the existing symptoms of the indication. Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein. In addition to the Chkl inhibitor, pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be formulated to include biologically active agents, such as cytokines, lymphokines, growth factors, other hematopoietic factors, or mixtures thereof, to reduce adverse side effects that can arise from, or be associated with, administration of the pharmaceutical composition alone.

SYNTHETIC METHODS The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by the following synthetic schemes. First, the alkoxyarylamines used to prepare the Chkl inhibitors described herein can be prepared by different general synthetic schemes. For example, General Scheme 1 summarizes the reaction of a nitrophenol with an activated form of an alcohol, formed in situ or prepared and isolated independently, to provide a nitrophenyl ether product. Reduction of the ether under standard conditions provides an arylamine that is used to produce a compound of the invention. General Scheme 1 Alternatively, reaction of a halo nitrobenzene with an alcohol in the presence of a strong base, such as sodium hydride or potassium bis (trirmethylsilyl) amide, also affords nitroaryl ethers, as illustrated in General Scheme 2. These ethers then are reduced as indicated in General Scheme 1. General Scheme 2 Conversion of an arylamine to a urea can be achieved by one of several synthetic schemes. For example, an arylamine can be reacted with a pyrazine carbamate to yield a urea as illustrated in General Scheme 3. General Scheme 3 Alternatively, as outlined in General Scheme 4, heat induced decomposition of an acyl azide produces a reactive aryl isocyanate which then is allowed to react with an arylamine to yield the desired urea. General Scheme 4 Another approach, illustrated in General Scheme 5, utilizes phosgene or a phosgene equivalent to couple two arylamines and provide a urea.

Preparation of Compounds The following compounds of the present invention were prepared using the general schemes disclosed above. Additional compounds of the invention can be prepared using the above general schemes, and the following specific syntheses, by a judicious selection of starting materials. Compound 1 1- [5-Chloro-2-S- ([1,4] oxazepan-2-ylmethoxy) -phenyl]-3-(5- methyl-pyrazin-2-yl)-urea Step 1: 2-Amino-5~methylpyrazine. Aminomalononitrile p-toluenesulfonate salt (20.0 g, 79 mmol) and pyruvaldehyde 1-oxime (6.88 g, 79 mmol) were combined in a flask. iPrOH (140 mL) was added, and the resulting yellow slurry was allowed to stir at room temperature for 18 h, during which time a yellow precipitate accumulated. The mixture was filtered and the precipitate was washed with iPrOH (2 x 50 mL) and DI H20 (20 mL), then lyophilized to give 2-amino-3-cyano-5- methypyrazine N-oxide (10.7 g). The pyrazine N-oxide was suspended in MeOH (22 mL) and AcOH (5 mL). To this, 5% Pt/C (1.6 g) and Darco KB-B (8 g) were carefully added. The mixture was allowed to absorb H2 at 60 psi for 18 h. The reaction was quenched with 25% NaOH (34 mL) and purged with N2 for 30 min. The mixture was filtered through a bed of wet celite and washed with MeOH (4 x 100 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to a quarter volume. The filtrate was diluted with EtOAc (150 mL) and washed with 5% NaOH (30 mL) and back extracted with EtOAc (2 x 70 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with sat'd NaCl (20 mL), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give an orange sticky solid (5.16 g). Step 2: (5-Methylpyrazin~2-yl) carbamic acid phenyl ester. 2-And.no-5-methylpyrazi.ne (5.16 g, 47 mmol) was dissolved in CHZC12 (52 mL) , stirred and cooled to 0°C under N2. To this, pyridine (4.8 mL, 59 mmol) was added followed by phenyl chloroformate (6.2 mL, 59 mmol) , dropwise, over 15 min, causing a precipitate to form. The mixture was stirred at 0°C for 1 h. Then the reaction was quenched with 0.25 M HCl (40 mL) and anhydrous ether (50 mL), and stirred at 0°C, for 30 min. The precipitate was isolated by filtration, washed with DI H20 (20 mL) and ether (2 x 25 mL) , and dried under vacuum to give the product (7.4 g) as a white fluffy powder. Step 3: (5)-2-Hydroxymethyl-[l,4]oxazepane-4- carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester. To a 250 mL round bottom flask were added (S)-(+)-benzyl glycidyl ether, (1.31 g, 7.9 mmol), 3-benzylamino-propan-l-ol (1.3 g, 7.9 mmol) and 10 mL EtOH. The mixture was heated to 40°C for 15 h. The reaction was cooled and concentrated in vacuo and the resulting oily product was used without further purification. The diol was placed in a 250 mL round bottom flask and dissolved in 75 mL dry pyridine. The solution was cooled to 0°C and toluene sulfonyl chloride (5.27 g, 27.7 mmol) was added in one portion. The mixture was stirred for 6 h, carefully maintaining the reaction temperature at 0°C. The cold reaction was quenched with 50 mL sat'd aqueous NaHC03 solution. An additional 20 mL of water was added and the mixture was extracted three times with 100 mL portions of EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The alcohol then was purified by column chromatography using a 25-50% gradient of EtOAc and hexanes as the eluent. This yielded 1.39 g of tosyl alcohol as a yellow oil. The alcohol was dissolved in 50 mL DMF and cooled to 0CC. To the cold, stirred mixture was carefully added 95% wt. NaH (0.29 g, 11.5 mmol) . The reaction was stirred at 0°C for 15 min, then allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and stirred 6 h. The reaction was carefully quenched with 50 mL of water and extracted three times with 50 mL portions of EtOAc. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was taken up in EtOH and placed in a Parr hydrogenation apparatus. Also added to the solution were 10% wt. Pd/C (0.426 g, 0.30 mmol) and 2M HC1 (2.1 mL). The hydrogenation was run at 50 psi for 2 days at which point the reaction was deemed to be done by LCMS analysis. The solution was neutralized with sat'd aqueous NaHC03 solution and extracted using a 3:1 mixture of CHCl3:iPrOH. The combined organics were concentrated under vacuum and the crude product was taken on to the next step. The crude amino alcohol was dissolved in 100 mL dry CH2C12. To this solution were added TEA (1.59 mL, 11.5 mmol) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (5.74 g, 5.74 mmol). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, then quenched with sat'd aqueous NaHC03 solution and extracted three times using 50 mL portions of CH2CI2. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by column chromatography using a 25-50% gradient of EtOAc/hexanes. This yielded 0.240 g of the oxazapane alcohol as a yellow oil. Step 4: (S)-2-(4-Chloro-2-nitro- phenoxymethyl)-[1,4]oxazepane-4-carboxylic acid tert- butyl ester. To a 50 mL round bottom were added oxazapane alcohol (0.240 g, 1.03 mmol), TEA (0.21 mL, 1.545 mmol), and 10 ml dry CH2C12. The solution was cooled to 0°C and methane sulfonyl chloride (0.10 mL) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at 0°C and then quenched, cold, with water. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted once with 20 mL CH2C12. The combined organics were dried over Na2SO« and concentrated under vacuum. The crude mesylate then was dissolved' in 5 mL dry DMF. To this solution was added Cs2C03 (0.671 g, 2.06 mmol) and 4-chloro-2-nitro- phenol (0.215 g, 1.24 mmol). This bright yellow solution then was heated to 100°C overnight. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, quenched with 50 mL of water, and extracted three times with 50 mL portions of EtOAc. The product was purified by flash chromatography using a 10-35% gradient of EtOAc/hexanes. This sequence of steps yielded 0.120 g of the nitrophenyl oxazapane as a bright yellow oil. Step 5: l-[5-Chloro-2-([l,4)oxazepan-2-(S)- ylmethoxy)-phenyl]-3-(5-methyl-pyrazin-2-yl)-urea. In a 25 mL round bottom were placed nitrophenyl oxazapane (0.120 g, 0.31 mmol) and Pt20 (0.007 g, 0.03 mmol) in 5 mL MeOH.
