General Note
The principal compound of this invention of formula I (Indicated by development code AN- 019) is found to exhibit useful anti-tumor activity superior to some of the existing approved dn^ of this class. This compound is found to exhibit in three distinct polymorphic forms I, II and III as discussed above. Although all the forms exhibit valuable pharmacological properties and may be used as anti-tumor agents Form III was chosen for the biological activi^ evaluation based on its thermodynamic stability. The development code AN-024 refers to another compound of the same class described elsewhere by the inventors. The bio- efBcacy and activity of the compounds of this invention have been compared with the approved drugs like Imatinib mesylate and Dasatinib to serve as positive controls in this study. 'Imatinib mesylate' has been abbreviated and referred to as 'Imatinib' in this study.
Example 1 - Establishment of Anti-CML Activity of AN-019 in Nude Mice Implanted
With k562 cells figures lOA and lOB)
To determine anti-CML activity of compounds of this invention K562 cells were obtained from ATCC and nude mice were implanted with these cells. As control, Imatinib was used at the same concentration per kg body weight for comparison. Drug treatment was initiated IS days post implantation and for 48 days with daily ip injections of lOmg/kg. Blood was dmwn from the tail vein every 6*** day, percent K562 cells determined and percent leukemia growth index (LGI) calculated.
AN019-treated mice showed a steady decline in LGI after initiation of drug treatment. LGI for Imatinib-treated mice also showed a decline but significantly lagged AN019 treated mice. Forty-eight days after continuous ip injections, AN019-treated mice were comparable to normal control mice, and Imatinib-treated mice showed an LGI of 20±5 when compared to controls. Spleen immunohistochemistry for Crk protein reveled localiTation of K562 cells in the spleen in control mice. AN019-treated mice showed basal levels of Crk expression, vsiwreas Imatinib treated mice showed few colonies with low to imdetectable expression levels of Crk.
Methods
K562 implantation
Nude mice (nu/nu) were implanted with K562 cells (1x10^) via tail vein. Four mice were used per group and divided into 4 groups. Three groups were implanted with K562 cells and one group was used as normal controls. Group 2 was inoculated with K562 cells and served as untreated positive controls. Two other groups implanted with K562 cells were treated with either Imatinib or ANO19.
IP injcctioii of AN019 and Imatinib
K562 implanted mice were treated with either Imatinib or AN019 (lOmg/Kg body wt) via intr^)eritoneal injections. Stock solutions of Imatinib and AN019 were made at a coiK»ntratiott of 100^g/^l in DMSO. Mice were injected via an intraperitoneal route at the above-mentioned dosage. Average weight of nude mice was determined to be 30±3g, and the dosage per mouse was calculated to be 300t30ng/mouse. Three micro liters of the stock solutions was diluted to 100^1 with sterile water just prior to ip injections. Ip injections were carried out daily from day 15 post implantation to day 48 with a total of 33 injections.
Determination of leukemia growth index (LGI)
Leukoma growth index was determined using the formula LGI (%) - (Vc-Vt)A^c x 100%. Vc is mean blast cell number (K562) per ml of blood in control animals at a certain time of measurement, and Vt is mean blast cell number per ml of blood in test animals at a certain time of measurement. Blood was drawn from the mice (treated and untreated) on the sixth day post-K562 cell implantation and followed by an every six-day interval for 48 days. Blood was drawn -via the tm\ vein. Quantitative analysis of LGI was graphically represented.
Immunocytochemistiy
Control mice were sacrificed on day 42 when secondary leukemia symptoms were observed, such as abdominal swelling and lack of circulation in the peripherals causing loss of digits with red spots under the skin surface. Spleen and any secondary tumors were harvested, fixed in formaldehyde and paraffin embedded as per standard protocols. Paraffin section were obtained and processed for immunocytochemistry. The rehydrated sections were treated with 0.3% H2O2 to inactivate any native peroxidases prior to immuno-probing. The sections were blocked with filter sterilized (022\im) 1% BSA-PBS at room temperature for Ih. Following blocking, the sections were immuno-probed with a human specific anti-Crk monoclonal primary antibody raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in the SH2 domain, near the N-term of human CrkL protein (Abeam, Cambridge, MA, USA) in 1%BSA-PBS overnight. Secondary antibody (anti-rabbit) conjugated to HRP was used to detect the presence of primary antibody. The sections were briefly rinsed three times in PBS solution after immuno-probing with secondary antibody, and DAB HRP substrate was added per manufacture's instructions (Sigma St Louis MO USA). The reaction was allowed to proceed until sharp contrast betweoi positive and negative controls was observed. For negative controls primary antibody were eliminated. Leukemic mice spleen served as positive controls.
RwBlte
Intr^)eritoneal injections of AN019 caused regression of leukemia in nude mice. Blood smears taken every sixth day post-implantation indicated an increase in LGI in controls wh^ compared to untreated mice. Tail vein drawn blood smears revealed an increase in LGI in controls and a progressive decrease in LGI in Imatinib-and AN019-treated mice (Fig. lOA). From the fifteenth day post-implantation, mice were given intr£q)eritoneaI injections of AN019 or Imatinib at a dosage of lOmg/kg body weight. Imatinib-treated mice lagged AN019-treated mice at every data point. On day 48 LGI of Imatinib-treated mice was determined to be 20±5, whereas LGI of AN019-treated mice was found to be 10±2 with an almost normal cell count (Fig. lOB).
RTamplft 1 - AN019 Injections of Nude Mice Implanted With KS62 Cells Did Not Show Spleenic Enlargement and No Crk Expression (Figure-11)
NikIc mice implanted with K562 ceils were treated with Imatinib or AN019 via ip injections. Mice were sacrificed after a decrease in LGI was observed and spleen harvested. Spleenic enlargement was observed by gross observation and it was determined that control mice diowed enlarged spleen indicative of K562 cellular localization. AN019-treated cells did not show any spleenic enlargement whereas Imatinib-treated mice showed slight spleenic enlargement (Fig 11), Parafifin sections of spleen unmuno-probed for the presence of Crk protein showed strong localiz^on of Crk expression accompanied with increased cellular density indicative of K562 localization in control mice. Mice treated with AN019 showed only basal level expression of Crk expression comparable to negative control. Mice treated wifli Imatinib indicated localized expression regions of Crk expression, indicative of K562 cells in the spleen. Control mice also developed random subcutaneous tumon showing Crk expressdon, indicative of the presence of K562 cells.
From these results it is evident that AN019 treatment caused the regression of LGI in nude mice. Imatinib-treated mice also showed significant reduction in LGI but lagged AN019- treated mice. Both AN019-and Imatinib-treated mice showed no abnormal physiological, I^miotypic or behavioral abnormality. Control mice showed the presence of random subcutaneous tumors with loss of digits accompanied with reddish spots under the skin and a sligfat enlargement of the abdomen. From these results, it is evident that AN019 provides a promising therapeutic drug for the treatment of leukemia.
Example 3 - In Vivo Studies Using Bag Imatinib Resistant Murine CML Cell Lines
To determine the in vivo anti-leukemic activity of AN019 and AN024, nude mice were implanted intraperitoneally with Baf3 murine leukemia cells (Wt, T315I, M351T and E225K), and 15 days after implantation the mice were treated with Imatinib (lOmg/kg), AN019 (20mg/kg) and AN024 (20mg/kg) by oral gavage or ip injections. Blood smears were obtained via the tail vein or via the femoral vein every 6th day and blast cells counted and graphically represented.
Blood smears of Ba£3Wt implanted mice treated with Imatinib (lOmg/kg), AN019 (20mg/kg) or AN024 (20mg/kg) were similar to normal controls after 42 days.
Blood smears of Baf3T315I implanted mice treated with Imatinib (lOmg/kg), AN019 (20mg/kg) or AN024 (20mg/kg) showed a significant decrease in blast cell count in AN024 and ANOl 9 treated mice. Mice treated with oral dosage of Imatinib did not show a decrease in blast cell count and were similar to untreated controls and Baf3M351T implanted mice.
Mice implanted with Baf3E255K also behaved similarly to Baf3M351T and Baf3T315I implanted mice.
Nude mice were implanted with Baf3 mutant cells Wt, E255K, T315I, and M351T were treated with Imatinib, ANOl9 and AN024 (orally and ip). Briefly, mice were treated with Imatimb (lOmg/kg), ANOl9 (20mg/kg) and AN024 (20mg/kg) by oral gavage or ip injections 15 days post-implantation. Abdominal swelling and decrease in activity was monitored daily, blood smear taken via the tail vein or the femoral vein every day and H&E stained as per standard protocols. 42 days after implantation, mice were sacrificed and spleens harvested. Spleenic enlargement was determined and correlated with blood smear blast cell count.
Results
Mierwcopic determination of blast cell count
Blood fix)m tail vein or the femoral vein was taken every 6th day from Baf3 cell implanted mice until day 42. On the 15th day post-unplantation, the mice were given treatments with Imatinib, ANOl9 and AN024 (orally and ip) as described earlier. It was obiserved that in BaGWt implanted mice, progressive decrease in blast cell count was observed in all treatment conditions. Baf3M351T, T315I and E225K did not respond well to Imatinib treatments. Oral administratioil of Imatinib had no significant effect in Baf3M351T, T315I and E225K implanted mice. Overall intraperitoneal treatments AN024 and ANOl 9 were significantly better at decreasing blast cell count in all Baf3 implanted mice.
AN019 treatment in BafiWt implanted mice induced a complete regression of leukemic blast cells and was comparable to untreated controls. Intraperitoneal treatments were superior to oral treatments. AN019 treatment in BaG M351T, T315I and E225K implanted mice showed a significant decrease in blast cell count and was comparable to 12th day post- implant in ip-treated mice at day 42; ip-treated mice showed greater regression of blast cells than oral treated mice. AN024 treatment in Ba£3 M35IT, T3151 and E225K implanted mice showed a significant decrease in blast cell count and was superior to AN019 treatment at day 42; ip-treated mice showed greater regression of blast cells than orally treated mice.
EiMttDle 4 - Response of nude mice implanted with k562 normal/luc human leukemic cells with low dose of AN024. AN019 and Imatinib fFignres 12 & 13) Nude mice (nu/nu) were implanted with K562 cells (1x106) normal/luc via tdl vein. Five mice were used per group and divided into 24 groups + 2 control. All groups were implanted with K562 normal/luc cells. Of the 24 groups, 12 were used for luciferase studies whereas Hw other 12 were used for blood smear count studies.
Oral administration of AN019. AN024 and Imatinib
Drags were administered by oral gavage (2% gum acacia and 2% SLS in an aqueous suspension).
Rcsntts
Oral administration of AN019 (1, 5,10 and 20mg/kg) in nude mice implanted with K562 luc human leukemia cells resulted in leukemia regression at higher concentrations. AN019 concentration at Img/kg did not induce a decrease in luciferase expression, whereas 5mg/kg caused fixation of leukemia cells at constant expression levels, and 10 and 20 mgAcg concentrations caused a decrease in luciferase expression (Figure 12). Oral administration of Imatinib (1,5,10 and 20mg/kg) in nude mice implanted with K562 luc human leukemia cells resulted in leukemia regression at higher concentrations. Imatinib administration at Img/kg concentration did not induce a decrease in luciferase expression, whereas lOmg/kg and 20mg/kg did show a retardation of luciferase expression (Figure 13).
The study shows the superiority of AN-019 over Imatinib in leukemic regression, particularly after 24 days of treatment.

Results
Table 7 shows the drug effectiveness at various concentrations of Imatinib, AN019 and AN024 as determined from the in vivo studies. From Table 7 it is evident that AN019 behaved in a dose dependent maimer, whereas Imatinib and AN024 do not, and were effective at low concentrations.

Where:
P=photon counts at day 'a', day '/er', or day 'b' where 'a' is the day when drug treatment was stopped and 'ter' is the day when the experiment was terminated and 'b' is the day where P is minimum after day a but before day 'ter'. /j=number of animals alive when P was measured.
The larger the value indicates greater effectiveness of the drug after stopping drug treatment, i.e. the penetrance of the drug over time.
Rcsidts
To determine the temporal penetrance of AN019, AN024 and Imatinib, nude mice were impl^ted with K5621uc cells. The animals were imaged at 6 day intervals post transplantation. Drug treatment (AN019 20mg/kg, AN024 20mg/kg and Imatinib lOmg/kg) was initiated 15 days post implantation by daily ip injections. Drug treatment was stopped on day 35 and animals were imaged till day 45, and calculated as described in methods.
By aH)lying the equation for ten^wral penetrance, Tp values were determined as: AN019=2.0 AN024=2.4 Ifflatinib=0.8
These values of Tp indicate that AN024 had activity over untreated controls and fared better than AN019 for activity over time after withdrawal of drug treatment.
Example 6 - Effect of Dasatinib on BaO Implanted Nude Mice When Compared to AN024. AN019 and Imatinib rFieures 14A. 14B. and 140
Example 3 demonstrated the effectiveness of AN024 and AN019 in the treatment of leukemia when compared to Imatinib by using Baf3 (wt, T315I, M351T and E255K) mutant
cell lines. Here, we have used Dasatmib as a control drug to detennine the response of Baf3 mutant cells to treatment when compared to AN019, AN024 and Imatinib.

Nude mice were intraperitoneally implanted with Baf3 mutant cells (wt, T315I, M351T or E255K). 15 days following implaintation, the mice were treated either orally or intrq)eritoneally with lOmg/kg Dasatinib for 27 days. Blood was drawn fiom the femoral vein or tail vein every 6th day and blast cell count determined and graphically represented.
Results
On the day, blood smears of nude mice implanted with Ba£3 mutant cells (wt, T315I, M351T or E255K) showed normal blast cell count, and blast cell count progressively increased as observed on day 12. Dasatinib treatment was started on day 15 post implantation. Dasatinib treatmraits fared no better than Imatinib. On day 42, the termination of tl» experiment, mice implanted with wt cells showed significant response to Dasatinib, indicating that ip treatments were superior to oral. Mice implanted with T315I and M351T cells behaved similar to controls with no significant decrease in blast cell count. Mice implanted with E255K fared only a little better than T315I implanted cells in response to Dasatinib treatment. Overall Dastinib treatment only caused retardation in leukemic progress with no significant curative effect. Blast cell count was significantly lower in the group treated with AN019. These results are illustrated in Figures 14A, 14B, and 14C.
Example 7 - In vitro Studies on Glioma and Breast Cell Lines (Figures 15-18) Material and Methods
To determine the effect of AN019, AN024 and Temozolomide with or without radiation on glioma and breast cancer cells, cells were treated at the specified doses and determined invasion, angiogenesis and changes in certain signaling moleciiles.
Matrigel invasion assay
The in vitro invasiveness of 4910, 5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of specified concentrations of compounds were assessed using a modified Boyden chamber assay. Cells were treated with these compounds for 48 h. 1x10® cells were suspended in 600^1 of serum-fi«e medium supplemented with 0.2% BSA and placed in the upper compartment of the transwell chambers (Coming Costar Fischer Scientific Cat #07-200-158, Pittsburgh PA) coated with Matrigel (0.7 mg/ml). The lower compartment of the chamber was filled with 200 of serum medium and the cells were allowed to migrate for 24 h. After incubation, the cells were fixed and stained with Hema-3 and quantified as previously described (Mohanam et al. 1993). The migrated cells were imaged microscopically to determine the reduction in invasiveness induced by the compounds of this invention.
Angiogenic assay
The in vitro angiogenesis of 4910, 5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of specified concentrations of compounds were determined as follows, cells (2xl04/well) were seeded in 8-well chamber slides and were treated vdth various concentrations of test compounds. After a 24 h incubation period, the conditioned media was removed and added to a 4x104 human dermal endothelial cell (monolayer in 8- well chamber slides) and the human dermal endothelial cells were allowed to grow for 72 h. Cells were then fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde and stained with H&E and photographed.
Western blot analysis
Western blot analysis of 4910, 5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of specified concentrations of compounds were assessed as per standard protocols. Cells were treated with AN019, AN024 or Temozolomide at the specified concentrations. 24h after treatment, cells were collected and cell lysates extracted. Equal quantities of proteins were fractionated by SDS-PAGE. The fractionated proteins were blotted on to nylon membranes and immunoprobed for AKT, ERK and Pi3k. Breast cancer cell protein isolates were additionally immunoprobed for EGFR, ErbBl, ErbB2 and ErbB3.

Figures 15 and 16 illustrate the results of the in vitro matrigel invasion assay of 4910, 5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of q)ecified concentrations of AN-019, with and without radiation.
Angiogenic assay
From the angiogenesis assay experiments it is observed that AN019 was the most effective at inhibiting angiogenesis.
Temozolomide treatment caused complete inhibition of angiogenesis in ZR-71 cells, whereas in MDA-MB-231 cells only a slight inhibition was observed in control condition with an increase in inhibition after radiation. Glioma xenograft cells 4910 showed significant inhibition of angiogenesis both with and without radiation. In the case of 5310 cells inhibition of angiogenesis was seen in control conditions, whereas angiogenesis was I»omoted after radiation treatment. U87 glioma cells showed similar inhibition patterns both with and without radiation.
AN024 treatment caused complete inhibition of angiogenesis in ZR-71 cells, whereas in MDA-MB-231 cells only a slight inhibition was observed in control and radiation treatments. Glioma xenograft cells 4910 showed significant iiAibition of angiogenesis both with and without radiation. In the case of 5310 cells inhibition of angiogenesis was seen in control conditions, whereas angiogenesis further inhibited after radiation treatment. U87 glioma cells showed significant retardation in angiogenesis with an increase in inhibition after radiation.
AN0I9 treatment caiised complete inhibition of angiogenesis in ZR-71 cells, whereas in MDA-MB-231 cells a slight inhibition was observed in both control and radiation treatments. GlitMna xenograft cells 4910 showed inhibition of angiogenesis similar to MDA-MB-231 cells with an increase in angiogenic inhibition after radiation. In the case of 5310 cells inhibition of angiogenesis was greater in control conditions than after radiation treatment. U87 glioma cells showed s^lar significant retardation in angiogenesis both with and without radiation.
Figure 17 illustrates results obtained firom the in vitro angiogenic assay of 4910, 5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of specified concentrations of AN-019, vwth and without radiation.
Wtetern blot analysis
Western blot analysis of 4910,5310 and U87 glioma cells and MDAMB231 and ZR71 breast cancer cells in the presence of specified concentrations of compounds of this invention revealed that U87 cells did not show significant change in AKT or PI3k levels both with and without radiation, whereas a slight decrease in ERK levels was observed in AN024 treated cells and decrease was enhanced after radiation. 4910 cells behaved similar to U87 cells with a decrease in AKT levels in after AN024 treatment and the decrease in AKT levels was enhanced after radiation. In case of 5310 cells no significant observable difference was seen in ERK expression whereas AN019 treatment caused a decrease in AKT expression levels. Levels of PI3k were almost undetectable in AN019 treated cells without radiation but reappeared after radiation treatment. In case of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 no significant change in AKT, ERK or PI3k was observed, whereas in case of ZR71 AN019 treatment caused a decrease in AKT levels, which was enhanced after radiation. AN024 treatment did not show any significant change under unirradiated conditions, whereas after radiation ANp24 treated cells showed a decrease in AKT expression. PI3k levels were absent in AN019 treatments both with and without radiation. AN024 treatment caused decrease in PI3k levels after radiation. Levels of pAKT did not change significantly in any of the treatments with or without radiation, whereas levels of pERK reduced significantly eiq)ecially in cell treated with AN019 both with and without radiation, AN024 also showed reduction on pERK levels but to a lesser extent than AN019.
