[0001] COMPOUNDS USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF KRAS MEDIATED DISORDERS
[0002] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0003] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 515,724 filed July 26, 2023, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0004] BACKGROUND
[0005] The Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) gene is an oncogene encoding KRas, which is a small GTPase signal transduction protein. Ras proteins associate with the plasma membrane, and act as switches in the transduction of extracellular signals to intracellular response, thereby regulating processed such as, e.g., cell division. Numerous activating or gain-of-function mutations of the KRas gene are known, and in fact, KRas is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer. Gain-of-function KRas mutations are found in approximately 30% of all human cancers, including, e.g., pancreatic cancer (>80%), colon cancer (approximately 40-50%), lung cancer (approximately 30-50%), non-small cell lung cancer, biliary tract malignancies, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, liver cancer, myeloid leukemia, and breast cancer. These activating mutations impair the ability of KRas to switch between active and inactive states. Key roles for mutant KRas have been established in initiation, maintenance, progression, and metastasis of various cancers, and mutations are frequently correlated with poor prognosis and increased resistance to chemotherapy and biological therapies, including, e.g., therapies that target epidermal growth factor receptor. However, despite its key role and high prevalence in cancer, there is an absence of effective therapies that directly target this oncogene, leading to it being considered “undruggable.”
[0006] Thus, an ongoing need exists in the art for effective treatments for disease associated with overexpression, aggregation, and / or overactivation of KRas.

[0405] Administration / Dosages / Formulations
[0406] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, com, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
[0407] Injectable preparations (for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions) may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension, or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1 ,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer’s solution, U.S.P., and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
[0408] To prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
[0409] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories that can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this disclosure with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a suppository wax that are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.
[0410] Solid compositions of a similar type also can be employed as fillers in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
[0411] The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings, and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents.
[0412] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this disclosure include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this disclosure.
[0413] The ointments, pastes, creams, and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this disclosure, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
[0414] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this disclosure, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.
[0415] Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[0416] Compounds of the present disclosure may be administered intratympanically, wherein a long, narrow, bore needle is passed through the ear canal and through the eardrum to administer medications into the middle ear space where they are absorbed by the inner ear.
[0417] According to the methods of treatment of the present disclosure, disorders are treated or prevented in a subject, such as a human or other animal, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the disclosure, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. The term “effective amount” of a compound of the disclosure, as used herein, means enough of the compound so as to decrease the symptoms of a disorder in a subject. As is well understood in the medical arts an effective amount of a compound of this disclosure will be at a reasonable benefit / risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment.
[0418] In general, compounds of the disclosure will be administered in therapeutically effective amounts via any of the usual and acceptable modes known in the art, either singly or in combination with one or more therapeutic agents. An effective amount may vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used and other factors. In general, satisfactory results are indicated to be obtained systemically at daily dosages of from about 0.03 to 2.5 mg / kg per body weight. An indicated daily dosage in the larger mammal, e.g., humans, is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 100 mg, conveniently administered, e.g., in divided doses up to four times a day or in retard form. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise from ca. 1 to 50 mg active ingredient. In embodiments, a therapeutic amount or dose of the compounds of the present disclosure may range from about 0.1 mg / Kg to about 500 mg / Kg, alternatively from about 1 to about 50 mg / Kg. In general, treatment regimens according to the present disclosure comprise administration to a subject in need of such treatment from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound(s) of this disclosure per day in single or multiple doses. Therapeutic amounts or doses will also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the possibility of co-usage with other agents.
[0419] Upon improvement of a subject’s condition, a maintenance dose of a compound, composition or combination of this disclosure may be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained; when the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, treatment should cease. The subject may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.
[0420] It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific inhibitory dose for any particular subject will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.
[0421] The disclosure also provides for a pharmaceutical combination, e.g., a kit, comprising a) a first agent which is a compound of the disclosure as disclosed herein, in free form or in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, and b) at least one co-agent. The kit can comprise instructions for its administration.
[0422] Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers; alumina; aluminum stearate; lecithin; serum proteins, such as human serum albumin; buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, or potassium sorbate; partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids; water; salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate; disodium hydrogen phosphate; potassium hydrogen phosphate; sodium chloride; zinc salts; colloidal silica; magnesium trisilicate; polyvinyl pyrrolidone; polyacrylates; waxes; polyethylenepolyoxypropylene-block polymers; wool fat; sugars such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil; glycols, such a propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol; esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; and phosphate buffer solutions. Further, non-toxic compatible lubricants such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator. The protein kinase inhibitors or pharmaceutical salts thereof may be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to animals or humans. These pharmaceutical compositions, which comprise an amount of the protein inhibitor effective to treat or prevent a protein kinase-mediated condition and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, are other embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0550] Example 3: Biological Assays
[0551] Reagents
[0552] AsPC-1 (CRL-1682) cells were purchased from ATCC and are homozygous for the G12D mutation in KRas. AsPC-1 cells were cultured in GIBCO RPMI-1640 (ThermoFisher Scientific, catalog# 61870-036, with Glutamax, no HEPES, no Na Pyruvate) supplemented with 10% FBS (ThermoFisher Scientific, catalog# 2060357) and 1X Penicillin-Streptomycin (ThermoFisher Scientific, catalog# 15140122, 10000 U / ml, 100X). For degradation assays, 384 well plates were used. Alamar blue was purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific (A50101) and used according to manufacturer instructions. The Nano-Gio® HiBiT Lytic Detection System and Nano-Gio® HiBiT Blotting System were purchased from Promega (#N3050 and #N2410) and used according to manufacturer instructions.
[0553] To create the AsPC-1 HiBiT-KRasG12D cell line, CRISPR-Cas9 was used to insert the HiBiT tag onto the N-terminus of one or more of the endogenous KRas alleles. See Schwinn, M.K. et al. (2018) CRISPR-mediated tagging of endogenous proteins with a luminescent peptide, ACS Chem. Biol. 13(2), 467-474. After knock-in of the tag, individual clones were isolated by single cell dilution and screened for HiBiT insertion by PCR. A clone was identified that contained the desired HiBiT-KRasG12D sequence at one allele while the remaining two KRasG12D alleles were untagged. This clone was used in further studies. HiBiT degradation assays (G12D)
[0554] AsPC-1 HiBiT-KRasG12D cells were plated at 9000 or 15,000 cells / well in a 384 well plate (Corning #3770). Compounds of the present disclosure and positive controls were diluted in the appropriate cell media and applied to the plated cells resulting in a final concentration titration of 10 pM to 508 pM in 0.5% DMSO. Gambogic acid was used as a positive control for cytotoxicity and titrated from 10 pM to 78 nM. All assays were performed in triplicate. Cells were treated with compounds for 24 hr at 37 °C in an incubator containing 5% CO2. Following treatment, alamar blue was used to determine if any compounds led to a loss in cell viability after 24 hr. The 10X alamar blue reagent was added to a final concentration of 1X as recommended by the manufacturer and cells were returned to the incubator for 4 hr. Plates were then allowed to equilibrate to RT and fluorescence was measured using a Perkin-Elmer EnVision. After completion of the fluorescence read, the liquid from each well was removed and the cells were washed with PBS. The Nano-Gio® HiBiT detection reagent was prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions and added to each well after the PBS wash was removed. Following incubation at room temperature for 45 min, the luminescence was read using the ultra-sensitive luminescence aperture on the Envision instrument.
[0555] Data analysis
[0556] Fluorescence values from the alamar blue treatment were normalized to the DMSO- only control for each compound titration. HiBiT luminescence was normalized to the DMSO- only control and the fractional HiBiT signal was plotted versus the log of the PROTAC concentration and fit to a 4-parameter dose-response model to obtain the concentration of the compound that leads to half maximal degradation (DC50) as well as the maximum degradation observed (Dmax, conventionally expressed as a percentage of control).
