[0074] A-Raf; Target kinase A-Raf (i e , v-raf murine sarcoma 361 1 viral oncogene homolog 1) is a 67 6 kDa serme/thieonme kinase encoded by chromosome XpI 1 4-pl 1 2 (symbol ARAF) The matuie protein comprises RBD (i c , Ras binding domain) and phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc finger domain and is involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus A-Raf inhibitors may be useful in treating neurologic diseases such as mulii-infarct dementia, head mjurv, spinal Lord injury, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, neoplastic diseases including, but not limited to, melanoma, glioma, sarcoma, carcinoma (e g colorectal, lung, breast, pancreatic, thyroid, renal, ovanan), lymphoma (e g histiocytic lymphoma), neurofibromatosis, myelodysplastic syndrome, leukemia, tumor angiogenesis, pam of neuropathic or inflammatory oπgin, including acute pain, chronic pain, cancer-related pain and migraine and diseases associated with muscle regeneration or degeneration, including, but not limited to, vascular restenosis, sarcopema, muscular dystrophies (including, but not limited to, Duchenne, Becker, Emery-Dreifuss, Limb-Girdle, Facioscapulohumeral, Myotonic, Oculopharyngeal, Distal and Congenital Muscular Dystrophies), motor neuron diseases (including, but not limited to, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, infantile progressive spmal musculai atiophy, intermediate spinal muscular atrophy, juvenile spinal muscular atrophy, spmal bulbar muscular atrophy, and adult spinal muscular atrophy), inflammatory myopathies (including, but not limited to, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis), diseases of the neuromuscular junction (including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, and congenital myasthenic syndrome), myopathies due to endocrine abnormalities (including, but not limited to, hypothyroid myopathy and hypothyroid myopathy) diseases of peripheral nerve (including, but not limited to, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Dejeπne Sottas disease, and Friedreich's ataxia), other myopathies (including, but not limited to, myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita, central core disease, nemahne myopathy, myotubular myopathy, and periodic paralysis), and metabolic diseases of muscle (including, but not limited to, phosphorylase deficiency, acid maltase deficiency, phosphofructokmase deficiency, debrancher enzyme deficiency, mitochondrial myopathy, carnitine deficiency, carnitine palmatyl transferase deficiency, phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency, phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency, lactate dehydrogenase deficiency, and myoadenylate deaminase deficiency)
[0075] B-Raf: Target kinase B-Raf (i e , v-raf murine sarcoma \ iral oncogene homolog B l) is a 84 4 kDa seπne/threomne kinase encoded by chromosome 7q34 (symbol BRAF) The mature protein compπses RBD (i e , Ras binding domain), Cl (i e protein kinase C conserved region 1) and STK (i e , serine/threonine kinase) domains
[0076] l arget kinase B-Raf is involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus and may play a role in the postsynaptic responses of hippocampal neurons Λs such, genes of the RAF family encode kinases that are regulated by Ras and mediate cellular responses to growth signals Indeed, B-Raf kinase is a key component of the RAS->Raf-> MEK->ERK/MΛP kinase signaling pathway, which plays a fundamental role m the regulation of cell growth, division and proliferation, and, when constitutrv ely activated, causes tumongenesis Among several isoforms of Raf kinase, the B-type, or B-Raf, is the strongest activator of the downstream MAP kinase signaling.
[0077] The BRAF gene is frequently mutated in a variety of human tumors, especially in malignant melanoma and colon carcinoma. The most common reported mutation was a missense thymine (T) to adenine (A) transversion at nucleotide 1796 (T 1796 A; amino acid change in the B-Raf protein is Val<600> to Glu<600> ) observed in 80% of malignant melanoma tumors. Functional analysis reveals that this transversion is the only detected mutation that causes constitutive activation of B- Raf kinase activity, independent of RAS activation, by converting B-Raf into a dominant transforming protein. Based on precedents, human tumors develop resistance to kinase inhibitors by mutating a specific amino acid in the catalytic domain as the "gatekeeper". (Balak, et. al., Clin Cancer Res. 2006, 12:6494-501). Mutation of Thr-529 in BRAF to lie is thus anticipated as a mechanism of resistance to BRAF inhibitors, and this can be envisioned as a transition in codon 529 from ACC to ATC.
[0078] Niihori et al., report that in 43 individuals with cardio-facio-cutanεous (CFC) syndrome, they identified two heterozygous KRAS mutations in three individuals and eight BRAF mutations in 16 individuals, suggesting that dysregulation of the RAS-RAF-ERK pathway is a common molecular basis for the three related disorders (Niihori et al., Nat Genet. 2006, 38 (3): 294-6).
[0079] c-Raf-1 : Target kinase c-Raf-1 (i.e., v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog 1) is a 73.0 kDa STK encoded by chromosome 3p25 (symbol: RAFl). c-Raf- 1 can be targeted to to the mitochondria by BCL2 (i.e., oncogene B-cell leukemia 2) which is a regulator of apoptotic cell death. Active c-Raf-1 improves BCL2-mediated resistance to apoptosis, and c-Raf-1 phosphorylates BΛD (i.e., BCL2-binding protein). c-Raf- 1 is implicated in carcinomas, including colorectal, ovarian, lung and renal cell carcinoma. C-Raf- 1 is also implicated as an important mediator of tumor angiogenesis (Hood, J.D. et al., 2002, Science 296, 2404). C-Raf- 1 inhibitors may also be useful for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes (Crump, Curr Phaπn Des 2002, 8(25) 2243-8). Raf-1 activators may be useful as treatment for neuroendocrine tumors, such as medullary thyroid cancer, carcinoid, small cell lung cancer and pheochromocytoma (Kunnimalaiyaan et al..

Example 11: Pharmaceutical Properties of Compounds.
[0174] Compounds of the invention, such as compounds of Formula I. demonstrate unexpectedly improved solubility and/or pharmacokinetics when compared to similarly substituted IH- Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine compounds Typically, lH-Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridme compounds with improved aqueous solubility may not have acceptable pharmacokinetics, assessed by measuring plasma levels in rats treated with the compounds Improved solubility with improved exposure levels, as measured by area under the curve (AUC), is indicative of beneficial pharmaceutical properties of the compound, such as improved bioa\ ailabihty
[0175] As an indication of relative solubility, the turbidity ol compounds in aqueous solutions was assessed Fach compound was diluted into four different physiologically relevant buffers and solution turbidity was measured by spectrophotometry The concentration of compound that demonstrated turbidity by forming enough insoluble suspension to raise the average optical density above 0 01 at three wavelengths (490 535, and 650 nm) was used to define the limit of the compound solubility in that buffer To assess possible compound properties in different physiological compartments, such as stomach, intestine and blood, a series of aqueous buffers with varying pH was used
[0176] Compounds were dissolved at a concentration of 25 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide, then serially diluted 1 1 into a 96 well plate, diluting 10 times in pure dimethyl sulfoxide, with the final well of each row a dimethyl sulfoxide blank In an assay plate, 99 μL of appropriate buffer was added to each well and 1 μL of each sample dilution was added to the buffer achieving a range of final total concentrations in aqueous solutions having different pH The buffers used were Simulated Gastric Fluid (SGF-pH 1 5) 0 5M NaCl, pH 1 5, Simulated Intestinal fluid (SIF-pH 4 5 and pH 6 8) 0 05M NaH2PO4, pH 4 5 and 6 8, and Hepes Buffer (HEPES-pH 7 4) 10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7 4 Control compounds pyrene, estπol and propranolol HCl were also assessed Plates were spun and then mixed for 1 minute, and the absorbance was read using a Tecan Safire II to read wavelengths in the visible range (490, 535, and 650 nm) at four locations per well, reflecting the degree of turbidity present. The average optical density for each wavelength in each well was graphed vs. compound concentration, and the concentration at which the curve crosses a threshold O. D. of 0,01 for each wavelength was reported as the endpoint turbidity assay result. The average of the three wavelengths is used to compare turbidity of compounds. Compounds are considered to have low solubility if the threshold concentration is <31.3 μM, moderate solubility if the threshold concentration is 31.3 μM to 250 μM, and high solubility if the threshold concentration is >250 μM.
[0177] Pharmacokinetic properties were assessed in male Sprague Dawley rats. Rats were dosed daily with compound either by IV injections via surgically implanted jugular catheters or by oral gavage (PO). Each compound was prepared as a 20 mg/mL stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide, which was further diluted to provide the dosing stock at the desired concentration for the IV or PO formulations. For IV dosing, the dosing stock was diluted into a 1: 1:8 mixture of Solutol ®:ethanol:water. For PO dosing, the dosing stock was diluted into 1 % methylcellulose. In a cassette format, 5 compounds were diluted to 0.5 mg/mL each for IV dosing and 0.4 mg/mL each for PO dosing and dosed at 1 mg/kg (2mL/kg) or 2 mg/kg (5 mL/kg), respectively. For IV dosed animals, tail vein blood samples were collected with lithium heparin anticoagulant at 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes and 4, 8, and 24 hours post dosing each day. For PO dosed animals, tail vein blood samples were collected with lithium heparin anticoagulant at 30 minutes, 1 , 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours post dosing each day. Samples were processed to plasma and frozen for later analysis of each compound by LC/MS/MS. Plasma levels as a function of time were plotted to assess the ΛUC (hr*ng/mL).
[0178] The following Table indicates comparison of the turbidity and ΛUC for compounds according to the invention, relative to the corresponding lll-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine which is identically substituted at all but the 5-position of the lH-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine (where 5-position is C-H or C-Cl).

Figure imgf000096_0001
[0179] The lH-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyndine P-0001 demonstrates better solubility than the corresponding lH-pyrrolo[2,3-b]ρyridine with 5-H or 5-Cl. As such, compounds of Formula I are expected to have favorable pharmaceutical properties.
