Synthesis of 1-[2-(3-aminopropyl)-5-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-3-yl]-2-methylpropan-1-one

Step A: Preparation of (4-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

[0209] To a solution of 2-oxo-pyrrolidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (7.03 g, 38 mmol) in THF (130 mL) was added phenylmagnesium bromide (1.0 M solution, 50 mL) at 78 C. After stirring for 2 hour at 78 C., HCl (2 M, 35 mL) was added to quench the reaction, which was then warmed to room temperature and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2100 mL). The combined organics were washed with brine (50 mL) and dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 9.56 g (96% yield) of the desired product.

Step B: Preparation of 2,5-difluorobenzoic acid hydrazide

[0210] To a solution of 2,5-difluorobenzoic acid (3.5 g, 22 mmol) in THF/DMF (20 mL/20 mL) was added EDCI (4.7 g, 24 mmol), DMAP (50 mg) and NH.sub.2NHBoc (3.07 g, 23.2 mmol). After stirring for 16 hours, the reaction was quenched with water (30 mL) and diluted with EtOAc (30 mL). The organic layer was then washed with HCl (0.5 M, 20 mL), saturated NaHCO.sub.3(20 mL), and brine (20 mL). The organic layer was then dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the crude Boc-protected product, which was then dissolved in DCM (60 mL) at 0 C. TFA (50 mL) was added to the above DCM solution. After stirring for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in DCM (60 mL). The solution was washed with saturated NaHCO.sub.3 (40 mL) and dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the desired crude product.

Step C: Preparation of {4-[(2,5-difluorobenzoyl)-hydrazono]-4-phenylbutyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

[0211] To a solution of (4-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (3.2 g, 12.2 mmol) and 2,5-difluorobenzoic acid hydrazide (2.1 g, 12 mmol) in EtOH (40 mL) was added HOAc (0.5 mL). The reaction was then heated to reflux and stirred for 3 days. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give desired product (5.1 g).

Step D: Preparation of {3-[5-(2,5-difluorophenyl)-3-isobutyryl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-[1,3,4]oxadiazol-2-yl]-propyl}-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

1-(2-(4-aminobutan-2-vyl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-one (diastereomer pair A)

Step A: Preparation of tert-butyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-4-phenylbutylcarbamate

[0284] To a solution of 3-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (5.0 g, 50.4 mmol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) at 78 C. was added n-butyllithium (2.1 M solution, 25.2 mL, 53 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 min then treated with a solution of Boc-anhydride (11.01 g, 50.4 mmol) in anhydrous THF (50 mL). After 3 hours at 78 C., phenyl magnesium bromide (1.0 M solution, 65.6 mL, 65.6 mmol) was added via cannula. After a further 3 hours at 78 C. the mixture was treated with 2 N HCl (100 mL), warmed to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate (3100 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (9:1 to 4:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to provide the product (2.6 g, 18%) as a yellow oil.

Step B: Preparation of tert-butyl 3-(5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)butylcarbamate

[0285] To a solution of 3-fluorobenzothiohydrazide (300 mg, 1.76 mmol) in ethanol/DCM (6 mL/2 mL) was added tert-butyl 3-methyl-4-oxo-4-phenylbutylcarbamate (538 mg, 1.94 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours, acetic acid (3 drops) was added and the mixture stirred for another 48 hours. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure and chromatographed (9:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to provide the product (366 mg, 48%) as a mixture of diastereomers as a yellow foam.

Step C: Preparation of tert-butyl 3-(5-(3-fluorophenyl)-3-isobutyryl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)butylcarbamate

[0286] To a solution of tert-butyl 3-(5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)butylcarbamate (50 mg, 116 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (5 mL) was added isobutyryl chloride (16 L, 151 mmol) followed by triethylamine (21 L, 151 mmol). After stirring at room temperature for 16 hours the mixture was partitioned between sat. NaHCO.sub.3(20 mL) and DCM (20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (10 mL) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (19:1, hexanes/ethyl acetate) to afford two diastereomeric pairs, diastereomer pair A (more polar, 13.1 mg) and diastereomer pair B (less polar, 11 mg).

Step D: Preparation of 1-(2-(4-aminobutan-2-yl)-5-(3-fluorophenyl)-2-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-3(2H)-yl)-2-methylpropan-1-one (diastereomer pair A)

[0287] To a solution of diastereomer pair A from the previous step (13.1 mg, 0.026 mmol) in DCM (2 mL) was added TFA (0.5 mL). After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and partitioned between saturated NaHCO.sub.3(20 mL) and ethyl acetate (20 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (10 mL), dried over Na.sub.2SO.sub.4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the product as a diastereomer pair (10 mg, 96%) as a pale yellow oil.

[0501] The activity of the compounds of the present invention may be determined by the following procedure. The assays were conducted at 30 C. in a Costar 3695 (96-well, polystyrene, -area, clear) plate in a final volume of 50 L. Hydrolysis of ATP was monitored in a system that coupled the product ADP to the oxidation of NADH using pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase. Assay mixtures contained the following: 20 mM K.sup.+Pipes, pH 7.0, 0.01% Triton X-100, 2% DMSO, 25 mM KCl, 2 mM MgCl.sub.2, 1 mM DTT, 25 M ATP, 1 mM phospho(enol)pyruvate, 200 M NADH, 7.9 U/mL pyruvate kinase, 9 U/mL lactate dehydrogenase, 0.25 M bovine microtubules, 20 M paclitaxel and 20 nM Eg5. The concentration of inhibitor was typically varied over the range of 10-200,000 nM. The reaction was monitored kinetically in an absorbance-based plate reader for a period of 10 minutes. Velocities were estimated from linear fits to the progress curves and were expressed as POC (percent of uninhibited control wells). IC.sub.50's were estimated from the POC data using a standard 4-parameter logistical model and compared to a control inhibitor run in each plate. In this assay, compounds of the invention exhibited an IC.sub.50 of less than 50 M.

[0502] The ability of the compounds of the present invention to inhibit cellular viability may be determined by the following procedure. Cells from a variety of established tumor cell lines, e.g., HeLa, were plated in Costar 3904 96-well plates, in growth medium for the cell line (for HeLa:DMEM high glucose, L-glutamine, 20 mM Hepes, 10% FBS), at a density that allowed for logarithmic growth over the 72 hour period of the assay (HeLa: 1000 cells/well), and incubated at 37 C., 5% CO.sub.2 overnight. The following day, one-tenth volume of a 10 concentration of compounds was added to the wells in an 11-point dilution series. The dilution series was composed of an initial 1:2 dilution in DMSO, followed by a 1:20 dilution in growth medium, for a final DMSO concentration on cells of 0.5%. Control wells were treated with 0.5% DMSO. The typical range of dilution was 2.5 M to 1 nM, which was expanded to 50 M to 50 M depending on the potency of the compound. Once compound was added to the cells, plates were incubated as above. After 72 hour incubation, 20 L resazurin solution (Cell Titer Blue, Promega G8081) was added to all wells and the plates incubated for an additional 2 hours. Viable cells convert resazurin to resorufin, a fluorescent end product. The plate was read on a fluorescent plate reader at 560 nm excitation/590 nm emission. The fluorescent signal of the control wells was defined as 100% and the percent of control signal for each well of a dilution series for the compound was defined as: (fluorescent signal of treated well)(average fluorescent signal of the control well).sup.1100. The EC.sub.50 for inhibition of viability was determined from the inflection point of a standard 4-parameter logistical curve fitted to the values obtained. In this assay, the compounds of the invention exhibited an EC.sub.50 of less than 50 M.
