Abstract
Description
[0001] CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF
[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Disclosed herein are certain compounds that induce cell death in cells with microsatellite instability (MSI), and are therefore useful in treating cancers, which include cancers characterized by MSI and / or defective DNA mismatch repair system (dMMR). Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds and methods of making the same.
[0004] BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
[0005] Cancer is a leading cause of death throughout the world. A limitation of prevailing therapeutic approaches, e.g. chemotherapy is that their cytotoxic effects are not restricted to cancer cells and adverse side effects can occur within normal tissues. Consequently, novel strategies are needed to better target cancer cells, specifically for patients having tumor cells with microsatellite instability (MSI). Microsatellites are repetitive DNA sequences with varying unit lengths (e.g. ranging from one (mononucleotides) to six bases (di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, esa-nucleotides)) distributed along coding and / or noncoding regions of the genome. Mutations of such microsatellites, for example, repeat length alterations, can represent microsatellite instability and this instability is a marker of DNA mismatch repair (dMMR). As known in the art and more fully described herein, MSI can be detected by molecular testing (e.g., with respect to certain microsatellites) or by immunohistochemical evaluation (e.g., with respect to expression of certain MMR proteins). Based on a consensus NCI-Reference Panel (Bethesda, 1998), MSI can be assessed by molecular testing of five microsatellites - including two mononucleotides (BAT25 and BAT26) and three dinucleotides (D2S123, D5S346, D17S250). Tumors can be classified into different subtypes based on such a NCI-Reference Panel approach for molecular testing, including MSI-high (MSI-H) if two or more of the microsatellite markers show instability, MSI- low (MSI-L) if only one microsatellite marker shows instability, and MS-stable (MSS) if none of the five microsatellite markers show instability (i.e., each of the five microsatellite markers are determined as stable). In some instances where molecular testing or immunohistochemical evaluation is not able to distinguish between MSI-L and general chromosomal instability, tumors can be classified as a MSS neoplasms. Disruptions in DNA repair pathways predispose cells to accumulating DNA damage. Therefore, in cells where a DNA Damage Repair pathway is already disrupted (in the case of cells exhibiting MSI the pathway is dMMR) disrupting a second pathway that cells require for survival can induce tumor death, a mechanism known as "synthetic lethality" (for example PARPi in BRCAmut cells). Accordingly, there is a need for further compounds for treating cancer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present invention, such as a compound of Formula (I) (and any embodiment thereof disclosed herein including specific compounds) include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as2H,3H,nC,13C,14C,13N,15N,150,170,180,32P,33P,35S,18F,36CI,123I, and125I. Certain isotopic variations of a compound of formula (I) or a salt or solvate thereof, for example, those in which a radioactive isotope such as3H or14C is incorporated, are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. Tritiated, i.e.,3H, and carbon-14, i.e.,14C, isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Thus, in one embodiment, the present invention includes Examples 1-93 (e.g., 1-86) wherein one or more hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms are replaced by deuterium. Isotopic variations of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically salt thereof, can generally be prepared by conventional procedures such as by the illustrative methods or by the preparations described in the Examples hereafter using appropriate isotopic variations of suitable reagents.

[0232] Treatment of Patients Having Tumors Characterized by High Microsatellite Instability
[0233] In one aspect, provided herein is a method for decreasing proliferation in a proliferative cell having a microsatellite instability (MSI), comprising administering a compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as described herein. In some embodiments, the proliferative cell is characterized as having MSI low (MSI-L). In some embodiments, the proliferative cell is characterized as having high MSI (MSI-H), used interchangeably with MIS-high. Cells can be characterized as MSI, including MSI-L or MSI-H, or as microsatellite stable (MSS), according to any method known in the art (see, for example, Dudley, Jonathan C., et al., Clinical Cancer Research, 22(4): 813-820, 2016.). MSI-H is used to classify tumors as having a high frequency of MSI. A tumor can be classified as MSI, including MSI-low or MSI-high, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and / or immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. As stated in Dudley et al. (supra), a tumor is classified as MSI-H by PCR if (i) there is a shift (usually downward) in the size of at least two microsatellite loci from a reference panel of five microsatellite loci in tumor relative to normal, where the reference panel can be the "Bethesda Panel," also referred to herein as the "NCI-Reference Panel (Bethesda, 1998)", which includes two mononucleotide loci (BAT-25 and BAT-26) and three dinucleotide loci (D2S123, D5S346, and D17S250), or alternatively, the reference panel can be Promega Corporation's MSI Analysis System, which includes five mononucleotide loci (BAT-25, BAT- 26, NR-21, NR-24, and MONO-27); or (ii) there is a shift in the size of 30% or more microsatellite loci from a reference panel of more than five microsatellite loci in tumor relative to normal. The MSI-H phenotype is associated with germline defects in the mismatch repair genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2, and is the primary phenotype observed in tumors from patients with HNPCC / Lynch syndrome. A tumor is classified as MSI-H in IHC test if it shows a loss of protein expression for at least 1 of the above 4 mismatch repair genes. Cells can be similarly classified as MSI-H using the tests described herein for tumors.
[0234] In some embodiments, a tumor or cell is classified as MSI-H using PCR to amplify the five microsatellite loci of the "Bethesda Panel" (BAT-25, BAT-26, D2S123, D5S346, and D17S250) from both tumor tissue or cells and normal tissue or cells, wherein the tumor or cell is classified as MSI-H if there is a shift in the size of at least two of the microsatellite loci from the tumor tissue or cells relative to the normal tissue or cells. In some embodiments, the shift in size of the microsatellite loci is a downward shift.
[0235] In some embodiments, a tumor or cell is classified as MSI-H using PCR to amplify the five microsatellite loci of Promega Corporation's MSI Analysis System (BAT-25, BAT-26, NR-21, NR-24, and MONO-27) from both tumor tissue or cells and normal tissue or cells, wherein the tumor or cell is classified as MSI-H if there is a shift in the size of at least two of the microsatellite loci from the tumor tissue or cells relative to the normal tissue or cells. In some embodiments, the shift in size of the microsatellite loci is a downward shift.
[0236] In some embodiments, a tumor is classified as MSI-H using IHC to determine the expression level of the MMR proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and / or PMS2 in both tumor tissue and normal tissue, wherein the tumor is classified as MSI-H if there is a loss of protein expression for at least one of the MMR proteins in the tumor tissue relative to the normal tissue. In some embodiments, the loss of protein expression is a decrease of at least 20% (such as a decrease of 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or more).
[0237] In contrast, a tumor is classified as MSI-L by PCR if (i) there is a shift in the size of one microsatellite locus from a reference panel of five microsatellite loci in tumor relative to normal, where the reference panel can be the "Bethesda Panel" or Promega Corporation's MSI Analysis System; or (ii) there is a shift in the size of less than 30% microsatellite loci from a reference panel of more than five microsatellite loci in tumor relative to normal. MSI-L tumors are thought to represent a distinct mutator phenotype with potentially different molecular etiology than MSI-H tumors (Thibodeau, 1998; Wu et al., 1999, Am J Hum Genetics 65:1291-1298). Cells can be similarly classified as MSI-L using the tests described herein for tumors. Combination Therapy
[0238] The present invention contemplates the use of compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in combination with one or more active therapeutic agents (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents) or other prophylactic or therapeutic modalities (e.g., radiation). In such combination therapy, the various active agents frequently have different, complementary mechanisms of action. Such combination therapy may be especially advantageous by allowing a dose reduction of one or more of the agents, thereby reducing or eliminating the adverse effects associated with one or more of the agents. Furthermore, such combination therapy may have a synergistic therapeutic or prophylactic effect on the underlying disease, disorder, or condition.
[0239] As used herein, "combination" is meant to include therapies that can be administered separately, for example, formulated separately for separate administration (e.g., as may be provided in a kit), and therapies that can be administered together in a single formulation (i.e., a "co-formulation").
[0240] In certain embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are administered or applied sequentially, e.g., where one agent is administered prior to one or more other agents.

In certain embodiments, combination therapy comprises administration of a hormone or related hormonal agent.
[0246] The present invention also contemplates the use of the compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof described herein in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The tremendous number of genetic and epigenetic alterations that are characteristic of all cancers provides a diverse set of antigens that the immune system can use to distinguish tumor cells from their normal counterparts. In the case of T cells, the ultimate amplitude (e.g., levels of cytokine production or proliferation) and quality (e.g., the type of immune response generated, such as the pattern of cytokine production) of the response, which is initiated through antigen recognition by the T-cell receptor (TCR), is regulated by a balance between co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals (immune checkpoints). Under normal physiological conditions, immune checkpoints are crucial for the prevention of autoimmunity (i.e., the maintenance of self-tolerance) and also for the protection of tissues from damage when the immune system is responding to pathogenic infection. The expression of immune checkpoint proteins can be dysregulated by tumors as an important immune resistance mechanism. Examples of immune checkpoint inhibitors include but are not limited to CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, BTLA, TIM3, LAG3, 0X40, 41BB, VISTA, CD96, TGFp, CD73, CD39, A2AR, A2BR, IDO1, TD02, Arginase, B7-H3, B7-H4. Cell-based modulators of anti-cancer immunity are also contemplated. Examples of such modulators include but are not limited to chimeric antigen receptor T-cells, tumor infiltrating T-cells, and dendritic-cells.
[0247] The present invention contemplates the use of compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof described herein in combination with inhibitors of the aforementioned immune- checkpoint receptors and ligands, for example ipilimumab, abatacept, nivolumab, pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, dostarlimab, and durvalumab.
[0248] Additional treatment modalities that may be used in combination with a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof disclosed herein include radiotherapy, a monoclonal antibody against a tumor antigen, a complex of a monoclonal antibody and toxin, a T-cell adjuvant, bone marrow transplant, or antigen presenting cells (e.g., dendritic cell therapy).
[0249] The present invention contemplates the use of compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof described herein for the treatment of glioblastoma either alone or in combination with radiation and / or temozolomide (TMZ), avastin, or lomustine.
[0250] Dosing
[0251] The compounds of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof provided herein may be administered to a subject in an amount that is dependent upon, for example, the goal of administration (e.g., the degree of resolution desired); the age, weight, sex, and health and physical condition of the subject to which the formulation is being administered; the route of administration; and the nature of the disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof. The dosing regimen may also take into consideration the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse effects associated with the agent(s) being administered.
[0252] An effective dose (ED) is the dose or amount of an agent that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in some fraction of the subjects taking it. The "median effective dose" or EDso of an agent is the dose or amount of an agent that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in 50% of the population to which it is administered. Although the EDso is commonly used as a measure of reasonable expectance of an agent's effect, it is not necessarily the dose that a clinician might deem appropriate taking into consideration all relevant factors. Thus, in some situations the effective amount is more than the calculated EDso, in other situations the effective amount is less than the calculated EDso, and in still other situations the effective amount is the same as the calculated EDso.
[0253] GENERAL SYNTHETIC ROUTES
[0254] As illustrated in Scheme A, in general, compounds of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be prepared by reductive amination reaction of an appropriately functionalized di-amine core A-1 with an aldehyde or ketone A-2 and reductant to give intermediates of A-3. These intermediates are then predisposed for deprotection by reaction with a variety of organic acids (Z=Boc or Cbz) or hydrogenation reaction (Z=Cbz) to afford intermediates of A-4. Intermediate A-4 can then undergo reductive amination reaction in the presence of an aldehyde or ketone source and reductant to deliver compounds of formula A-6. In some cases, the sequence of reductive amination reactions corresponding to Ring A and Ring B can be interchanged. In some instances, additional reductive amination reactions are required to install R1and R2. In some embodiments, addition of Ti(O'Pr)4 can be utilized to promote imine condensation. Aldehydes of type A-2 or A-5 are commercially available or may be synthesized from the appropriate intermediates. The unique synthesis of di-amine cores of A-1 are disclosed within.

Cells were maintained in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C. Cell dissociation was conducted using TrypLE Select (Gibco Cat# 12563029) to detach cells from culture flasks. Following dissociation, cells were centrifuged briefly and resuspended in assay medium RPMI-1640 (Gibco Cat# 22400-071) +10% fetal bovine serum (SAFC Cat# 12176C-1000mL). Black 384-well assay plates (Greiner Bio-One Cat# 781079) were prepared from source plates of DMSO and compounds dissolved in DMSO prior to cell dispensation. These source plates were prepared in eleven point, 3-fold serial dilutions from 10 mM stocks stored at 4 °C. Compounds and DMSO controls were dispensed into assay plates at 150 nanoliters per well from source plates using Labcyte Echo 555 or Echo 655T (Beckman Coulter, Inc) dispensers with Column 6 and Column 18 containing DMSO only. Cells were then seeded into prepared assay plates in 50 microliters assay medium at 250 cells per well into Columns 1 thru 17 and Columns 19-24. Assay medium without cells was added to column 18 to serve as a surrogate for 100% cell cytotoxicity. Following incubation for 120 hours in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C, cellular ATP concentration of each well was measured and used as a surrogate of cell viability. This was performed by adding 50 microliters of CellTiter-Glo reagent (Promega Cat# G8462) to each well followed by a 10-minute incubation at RT. Luminescence was measured on a Synergy Neo or Synergy Neo2 multimode plate reader (BioTek). Compound cytotoxic response (%C) was normalized to the robust means of column 6 (Control 1, 0% Cytotoxicity) and column 18 (Control 2, 100% Cytotoxicity) and normalized % cytotoxicity (%C) calculated. %C=100 - 100*((Compound-Control 2) / (Controll- Control2)).

These normalized data were then used to determine a 50% cytotoxic response (CC50) using 4-parameter logistic curve model 201 in Activity Base XE:
[0458] Four (4) Parameter Logistic Model fit = A + (B-A) / (l+(10AC / x)AD) where A = minimum asymptote (% cytotoxicity), B = maximum asymptote (% cytotoxicity), C = Log CCso (pCCso), D = Hill slope, and x = [inhibitor], (M). Table B. pCCso values for Examples in the SW620 Cell Viability Assay Example C - In vivo efficacy study in mouse model bearing SW48 human colorectal cancer cell line xenografts
[0459] Experiments were performed with female Crl:Nu-Foxnlnu(strain #088) nude mice (Charles River). Animals were housed under optimized hygienic condition with food and water at libitum and a 12h: 12h light:dark cycle. Animals were allowed to acclimatize for at least 4 days before being enrolled in the experimental design.
[0460] SW48 human colorectal cancer cells (RRID:CVCL1724) were obtained from ATCC. The cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Thermos Fischer 11875093) with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Thermos Fischer 16140071) at 37°C in atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. To establish SW48 xenografts, cells were harvested and re-suspended in serum free RPMI 1640 and Matrigel (Corning, 354234) before inoculation and 5 x 106SW48 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously in lOOpL volume using 27G1 / 2 needle. Cells were inoculated in the right hind flank of the animals.
[0461] Post cell inoculation, tumor growth was monitored daily, and animals were randomized into treatment groups (n=10 / group) once the tumor volume reached an appropriate size (80-150 mm3). Throughout the treatment period, both tumor volume and body weight were measured approximately twice a week. The tumor size, in mm3, was computed using the formula: 0.5 x L x W2, where W = width and L = length of the tumor.
[0462] To prepare compound for oral administration, between 9 mg of the test compound was dissolved in 3 mL vehicle solution consisting of 0.5% Methylcellulose (cp 400) and 0.5% Tween 80. The compound was freshly prepared one hour prior to daily administration. The resulting solution formulation was utilized for in vivo studies.
[0463] Animals received either a vehicle or test compounds at dosage of 30mg / kg daily through oral gavage (lOmL / kg). Body weight was measured twice a week using the Ohaus electronic scale (STX421) and the data was automatically added to the study log. Moreover, daily clinical observations were performed to closely monitor the animals.
[0464] Tumor growth inhibition was computed using the following formula:
[0465] Mean % A Inhibition = [(Mean(C) - Mean (Co)) - (Mean (T) - Mean (To))] / (Mean (C) - Mean (Co)) * 100% where T = current group value; To = Current group initial value; C = Control group Value; Co = control group initial value. Data of tumor volume were exported and analyzed in GraphPad Prism (9.5). The analysis included a two-way ANOVA test, comparing the vehicle control vs. treatments at different time points, followed by a Tukey HSD post hoc test.
[0466] The calculation of tumor regression was conducted as per the following formula: Tumor Regression = (A tumor volume / tumor volume at Day 0) * 100
[0467] Here, Day 0 = treatment start day; A tumor volume = mean tumor volume on the evaluation day - mean tumor volume Day 0
[0468] Treatment with Example 6 was initiated at a dosage of 30 mg / kg, administered orally once daily when the average tumor volume reached 100.4 mm3(n=10 / group). The 21-day treatment course resulted in a significant mean tumor regression of -52.7% compared to the Vehicle group (p<0.0001), as shown in Figure 1.
[0469] Similarly, Example 34 was administered daily at 30 mg / kg once the average tumor volume reached 96.8 mm3(n=10 / group). By day 21, the SW48 tumor exhibited a significant regression of -46.98% relative to the Vehicle (p<0.0001), as illustrated in Figure 2. Example 40, treatment commenced with daily oral administration of 30 mg / kg once the average tumor volume reached 93.54 mm3(n=10 / group). This regimen led to a 97.12% tumor growth inhibition in the SW48 tumor by day 21 (p<0.0001 vs. Vehicle), as depicted in Figure 3.
