BRAF, a serine/threonine specific protein kinase that is part of the MAPK pathway and acts as a downstream effector of RAS, is a potential therapeutic target in melanoma. We have developed a series of small-molecule BRAF inhibitors based on a 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine-2(3H)-one scaffold (ring A) as the hinge binding moiety and a number of substituted phenyl rings C that interact with the allosteric binding site. The introduction of various groups on the central phenyl ring B combined with appropriate A- and C-ring modifications afford very potent compounds that inhibit V600EBRAF kinase activity in vitro and oncogenic BRAF signaling in melanoma cells. Substitution on the central phenyl ring of a 3-fluoro, a naphthyl, or a 3-thiomethyl group improves activity to yield compounds with an IC50 of 1 nM for purified V 600EBRAF and nanomolar activity in cells.

The present invention pertains to certain imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one and oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-one compounds and analogs thereof, which, inter alia, inhibit RAF (e.g., B-RAF) activity, inhibit cell proliferation, treat cancer, etc., and more particularly to compounds of the formula (I): wherein: J is independently -O- or -NRN1-; RN1, if present, is independently -H or a substituent; RN2 is independently -H or a substituent; Y is independently -CH= or -N=; Q is independently -(CH2)j-M-(CH2)k- wherein: j is independently 0, 1 or 2; k is independently 0, 1, or 2; j+k is 0, 1, or 2; M is independently -O-, -S-, -NH-, -NMe-, or -CH2-; each of RP1, RP2, RP3, and RP4 is independently -H or a substituent; and additionally RP1 and RP2 taken together may be -CH=CH-CH=CH-; L is independently: a linker group formed by a chain of 2, 3, or 4 linker moieties; each linker moiety is independently -CH2-,-NRN-, -C(=X)-, or -S(=O)2-; exactly one linker moiety is -NRN-, or: exactly two linker moieties are -NRN-; exactly one linker moiety is -C(=X)-, and no linker moiety is -S(=O)2-; or: exactly one linker moiety is -S(=O)2-, and no linker moiety is -C(=X)-; no two adjacent linker moieties are -NRN-; X is independently =O or =S; each RN is independently -H or a substituent; A is independently: C6-14carboaryl, C5-14heteroaryl, C3-12carbocyclic, C3-12heterocyclic; and is independently unsubstituted or substituted; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, amides, esters, ethers, N-oxides, chemically protected forms, and prodrugs thereof. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit RAF (e.g., B-RAF) activity, to inhibit receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity, to inhibit cell proliferation, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are ameliorated by the inhibition of RAF, RTK, etc., proliferative conditions such as cancer (e.g., colorectal cancer, melanoma), etc.
