Description

Combination therapy

[0001] The present application claims priority to Australian provisional patent application no. 2023902987, filed on 15 September 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.Field of the invention

[0002] The present invention relates to therapy for proliferative diseases involving combinations of tubulin polymerisation inhibitors and cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agents.Background of the invention

[0003] Intra-tumour heterogeneity, characterized by distinct cell subpopulations within the same tumour, significantly contributes to therapy failure and tumour recurrence.Tumour recurrence is, in part, attributed to a specific cancer cell subpopulation known as drug-tolerant persister cells. Unlike resistant cells, persister cells do not possess permanent resistance-conferring genetic mutations but instead enter a reversible drug- tolerant state. Upon cessation of therapy or in periods between therapy cycles (drug holidays), persister cells give rise to a new population of cells that are often as sensitive to the drug as the original drug-naive population. Alternatively, persister cells may acquire genetic mutations that confer irreversible drug resistance.

[0004] Glioblastoma, the most prevalent and aggressive brain tumour, is primarily sustained by stem-like cancer cells. The unpredictable transition of glioblastoma stem cells between chemotherapy-sensitive and chemotherapy-tolerant persister phenotypes is a crucial factor contributing to treatment failures. This phenotypic plasticity allows glioblastoma stem cells to evade the cytotoxic effects of drugs while maintaining the potential to re-establish drug sensitivity upon treatment withdrawal or during drug holidays.

[0005] Persisters demonstrate a transient nature of drug-tolerant states, with reversible drug sensitivity upon treatment withdrawal. Persister cells emerge through various mechanisms, including epigenetic reprogramming, metabolic adaptations, and activation of survival signalling pathways.

[0006] There is therefore a continuing need to provide alternative treatment options effective in the treatment of proliferative disease, particularly treatments that are effective against a higher proportion or cancer persister cells. Further, it is also desirable for treatments capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier to improve treatments for brain cancers, such as glioblastoma.

[0007] Reference to any prior art in the specification is not an acknowledgment or suggestion that this prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in any jurisdiction or that this prior art could reasonably be expected to be understood, regarded as relevant, and / or combined with other pieces of prior art by a skilled person in the art.Summary of the invention

[0008] Surprisingly, the inventors found that combinations of a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent demonstrated enhanced potency against glioblastoma cells over either agent independently. Also surprising was that preferred combinations substantially eradicated persister cells present in the glioblastoma whereas either agent alone did not.

[0009] Accordingly, in a first aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a proliferative disease, the method comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a combination of a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0010] As the combinations of the present invention are surprisingly more effective against persister cancer cells, the methods described herein may be useful in the treatment of primary cancers, but also recurring cancers. Recurring cancers may recur as not all persister cells are effected by traditional chemotherapies.

[0011] In another aspect, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0012] In a further aspect, the invention provides use of a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a proliferative disease.

[0015] In another aspect, the invention provides a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor for use in treating a proliferative disease in combination with a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0016] In a further aspect, the invention provides a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent for use in treating a proliferative disease in combination with a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor.

[0017] In some embodiments, the proliferative disease is cancer.

[0018] The present methods find particular efficacy in the treatment of brain cancers, such as glioblastoma. In such embodiments, the preferred combinations comprising brain penetrant tubulin polymerisation inhibitors and brain penetrant cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agents.

[0024] In a still further aspect, there is provided a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor for use in treating a proliferative disorder in combination with a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0025] In another aspect, there is provided a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent for use in treating a proliferative disorder in combination with a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor.

[0026] In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a method of completely or partially preventing the recurrence of a solid tumour in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a combination of a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0027] In another aspect the invention relates to the use of a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and / or a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent in the manufacture of a medicament for completely or partially preventing the recurrence of a solid tumour.

[0028] In a still further aspect, the invention relates to a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and / or a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent for use in completely or partially preventing the recurrence of a solid tumour.

[0029] The solid tumour may be a brain cancer (eg glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or glioma). The brain cancer may be a primary cancer. The brain cancer may be a metastatic cancer.

[0030] As used herein, except where the context requires otherwise, the term "comprise" and variations of the term, such as "comprising", "comprises" and "comprised", are not intended to exclude further additives, components, integers or steps.

[0033] Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments of the invention. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the embodiments, it will be understood that the intention is not to limit the invention to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents, which may be included within the scope of the present invention as defined by the claims.

[0034] One skilled in the art will recognize many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein, which could be used in the practice of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materialsdescribed. It will be understood that the invention disclosed and defined in this specification extends to all alternative combinations of two or more of the individual features mentioned or evident from the text or drawings. All of these different combinations constitute various alternative aspects of the invention.

[0035] Throughout this specification, unless specifically stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise, reference to a single step, composition of matter, group of steps or group of compositions of matter shall be taken to encompass one and a plurality (i.e. one or more) of those steps, compositions of matter, groups of steps or groups of compositions of matter. Therefore, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural aspects, and vice versa, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. For example, reference to "a" includes a single as well as two or more; reference to "an" includes a single as well as two or more; reference to "the" includes a single as well as two or more and so forth.

[0036] Compounds are generally described herein using standard nomenclature. For compounds having asymmetric centres, it will be understood that, unless otherwise specified, all of the optical isomers and mixtures thereof are encompassed. Compounds with two or more asymmetric elements can also be present as mixtures of diastereomers. In addition, compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds may occur in Z and E forms, with all isomeric forms of the compounds being included in the present invention unless otherwise specified. Where a compound exists in various tautomeric forms, a recited compound is not limited to any one specific tautomer, but rather is intended to encompass all tautomeric forms. Recited compounds are further intended to encompass compounds in which one or more atoms are replaced with an isotope, ie, an atom having the same atomic number but a different mass number. By way of general example, and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium and isotopes of carbon include11C,13C, and14C.

[0037] Compounds according to any of formulas (l)-(X) provided herein, which have one or more stereogenic centres, may have an enantiomeric excess of at least 50%. For example, such compounds may have an enantiomeric excess of at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98%. Some embodiments of the compounds have an enantiomeric excess of at least 99%. It will be apparent that single enantiomers (optically active forms) can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis, synthesis from optically pure precursors, biosynthesis or by resolution of the racemates, for example,enzymatic resolution or resolution by conventional methods such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent, or chromatography, using, for example, a chiral HPLC column.

[0038] Certain compounds are described herein using a general formula that includes variables such as R1, R2, Ar, W, X, Y, Z, R3, R4R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R10, A, B, Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd, L3, L1, L2, A1 , B1 , R11, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R19, R21, R22, R23, R25, A2, B2, B3, R31, R32, R34, R35, R36, R37, L43, R41, R42, R43R44, R45, R46, R47, R48, B4, R51, R52, R53 R54 R55 |_53 |_55 g4 R61 R62 p63 R64 p65 R66 |_63 |_66 g g81 g82 g83 g84 g85 R86, R87, L83, L84, E, B8, D8, R91, R92, R93, R94, R95, R96, R97, L93, L94, B9, D9, m, n, p, q, ml , n1 , p1 , q1 , m2, n2, p2, q2, m3, n3, q3, m4, n4, q4, m5, n5, q6, m6, n6, q6, m8, n8, q8, m8, n9 and q9. Unless otherwise specified, each variable within such a formula is defined independently of any other variable, and any variable that occurs more than one time in a formula is defined independently at each occurrence. Therefore, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0, 1 or 2 R*, the group may be unsubstituted or substituted with up to two R* groups and R* at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R*. Also, combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds, ie, compounds that can be isolated, characterized and tested for biological activity.

[0039] A "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of a compound disclosed herein is an acid or base salt that is generally considered in the art to be suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings or animals without excessive toxicity or carcinogenicity, and preferably without irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication. In particular, pharmaceutically acceptable salts in accordance with the present invention are those that do not adversely affect the ability of the compound to cross the BBB. Such salts include mineral and organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines, as well as alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids.

[0040] Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, salts of acids such as hydrochloric, phosphoric, hydrobromic, malic, glycolic, fumaric, sulfuric, sulfamic, sulfanilic, formic, toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, ethane disulfonic, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonic, nitric, benzoic, 2-acetoxybenzoic, citric, tartaric, lactic, stearic, salicylic, glutamic, ascorbic, pamoic, succinic, fumaric, maleic, propionic, hydroxymaleic, hydroiodic, phenylacetic, alkanoic (such as acetic, HOOC-(CH2)n-COOH where n is any integer from 0 to 6, i.e. 0, 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6), and the like. Similarly,pharmaceutically acceptable cations include, but are not limited to sodium, potassium, calcium, aluminum, lithium and ammonium. A person skilled in the art will recognize further pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the compounds provided herein. In general, a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or base salt can be synthesized from a parent compound that contains a basic or acidic moiety by any conventional chemical method. Briefly, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent (such as ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol or acetonitrile), or in a mixture of the two.

[0041] It will be apparent that each compound of formulas (l)-(X) may, but need not, be present as a hydrate, solvate or non-covalent complex. In addition, the various crystal forms and polymorphs are within the scope of the present invention, as are prodrugs of the compounds provided herein.

[0042] A "prodrug" is a compound that may not fully satisfy the structural requirements of the compounds provided herein, but is modified in vivo, following administration to a subject or patient, to produce the active compound provided herein. For example, a prodrug may be an acylated derivative of a compound as provided herein. Prodrugs include compounds wherein hydroxy, carboxy, amine or sulfhydryl groups are bonded to any group that, when administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy, carboxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, acetate, formate, phosphate and benzoate derivatives of alcohol and amine functional groups within the compounds provided herein. Prodrugs of the compounds provided herein may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds in such a way that the modifications are cleaved in vivo to generate the parent compounds.

[0043] A "substituent" as used herein, refers to a molecular moiety that is covalently bonded to an atom within a molecule of interest. For example, a "ring substituent" may be a moiety such as a halogen, alkyl group, heteroalkyl group, haloalkyl group or other substituent described herein that is covalently bonded to an atom, preferably a carbon or nitrogen atom, that is a ring member. The term "substituted," as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated substituents, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, i.e., a compoundthat can be isolated, characterized and tested for biological activity. When a substituent is oxo, ie, =0, then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. An oxo group that is a substituent of an aromatic carbon atom results in a conversion of -CH- to -C(=0)- and a loss of aromaticity. For example a pyridyl group substituted by oxo is a pyridone. Examples of suitable substituents are alkyl (including haloalkyl e.g. CF3), heteroalkyl (eg -OCH3, -CH2NHCH3, -CH2NH2), halogen (for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atoms), OH, =0, SH, SO3H, NH2, =NH, N3 and NO2 groups.

[0047] The term "cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated (for example, a cycloalkenyl group) cyclic group that contains one or more rings (preferably 1 or 2), and contains from 3 to 14 ring carbon atoms, preferably from 3 to 10 ( especially 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7) ring carbon atoms. Specific examples of cycloalkyl groups are a cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, spiro[4,5]decanyl, norbornyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexadienyl, decalinyl, bicyclo[4.3.0]nonyl, tetraline, adamantane (ie tricycle[3.3.1 .13, 7]decane ), cyclopentylcyclohexyl and cyclohex-2-enyl.

[0048] The term "heterocycloalkyl" refers to a cycloalkyl group as defined above in which one or more (preferably 1 , 2 or 3) ring carbon atoms, each independently, have been replaced by an oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, selenium, phosphorus or sulfur atom (preferably by an oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom). This includes groups containing these atoms, such as NH. A heterocycloalkyl group has preferably 1 or 2 rings containing from 3 to 10 (especially 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7) ring atoms (preferably selected from C, O, N and S).

This includes O, S or N-containing groups, such as NH. Examples are pyridyl (for example, 4-pyridyl), imidazolyl (for example, 2- imidazolyl), phenylpyrrolyl (for example, 3-phenylpyrrolyl), thiazolyl, iso-thiazolyl, 1 ,2,3-triazolyl, 1 ,2,4-triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, indolyl, indazolyl, tetrazolyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isoxazolyl, indazolyl, indolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, benzthiazolyl, pyridazinyl, quinolinyl, iso-quinolinyl, pyrrolyl, purinyl, carbazolyl, acridinyl, pyrimidyl, 2,3'-bifuryl and pyrazolyl (for example, 3-pyrazolyl) groups.

The aromatic ring of such a mixed aromatic / non-aromatic system may include one or more heteroatoms, but such heteroaryl groups may include a carbocyclic aryl and a non-aromatic heterocycloalkyl ring, typically fused, provided all other conditions are met.

[0052] The expression "halogen" or "halogen atom" as used herein means fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine.

[0053] The term "optionally substituted" refers to a group in which one, two, three or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced independently of each other by halogen (for example, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine atoms) and / or by, for example, OH, =0, SH, SO3H, NH2, A / -alkyl, NH-alkyl, N3 or NO2 groups. This expression also refers to a group that is substituted by one, two, three or more alkyl, alkenyl or heteroalkyl (eg - OCH3, -OCH2CH3, -CH2NHCH3 and -CH2NH2) groups. These groups may themselves be substituted. For example, an alkyl group substituent may be substituted by one or more halogen atoms (ie may be a haloalkyl group). The term "haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group (as defined above) that is substituted by one or more halogen atoms (as also defined above). Specific examples of haloalkyl groups are trifluoromethyl, dichloroethyl, dichloromethyl and iodoethyl.

[0054] As used herein a wording defining the limits of a range of length such as, for example, “C1-5” or "from 1 to 5" means any integer from 1 to 5, ie 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5. In other words, any range defined by two integers explicitly mentioned is meant to comprise and disclose any integer defining said limits and any integer comprised in said range.

[0055] Described herein are new combinations of tubulin polymerisation inhibitors and cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agents. These combinations are shown in the data included in this specification to be surprisingly effective at treating cancer cells, including persistor cells. The combinations are more effective at treating persistor cells than either member alone. Further, the combinations are effective against traditionally hard to treat cancers, including brain cancers such as glioblastoma.Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors

[0056] The invention may rely on any suitable tubulin polymerisation inhibitor. Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors may alternatively be referred to as microtubule-destabilising agents.

[0057] Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors are a class of microtubule-targeting agents. Microtubule-targeting agents can be divided into three classes: i. tubulin depolymerisation (eg taxane, epothiliones) ii. tubulin polymerisation inhibitors (eg vinca alkaloids, colchicine) iii. degraders (eg tubulin-targeting proteolysis targeting chimeras (e.g. PROTACs))

[0058] Tubulin polymerisation inhibitors exert their therapeutic efficacy by disrupting microtubules, which regulate fundamental cell functions such as mitosis, migration, and vesicle transport. As cancer cells, by definition, divide at faster rates than non-cancer cells, tubulin polymerisation inhibitors may therefore be effective at treating any cancertype.

[0059] In embodiments when the combinations are for treating brain cancers, the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor is brain penetrant. In these embodiments, the combinations may therefore comprise a brain penetrating tubulin polymerisation inhibitor.

[0768] Specific examples of tubulin polymerisation inhibitor are given in Table 1 , below.Table 1. Examples of compounds of the present invention

[0769] The compounds of the present invention can be synthesised by any suitable method known to a person skilled in the art. For example, suitable methods for the preparing of these compounds have been disclosed in WO / 2016 / 119017(US10,745,355), WO / 2019 / 148244 (US11 ,472,774), AU 2019200683, WO2019 / 113242 (US2019 / 0169127A1 ).

[0770] The tubulin polymerisation inhibitors preferably exhibit high anti-proliferative activity and in particular, high efficacy against brain cancers - see, for example US11 ,472,774 where specific compounds are shown to induce apoptosis and are also able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB).Cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agents

[0771] The invention may rely on any suitable cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent. A cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent may be any agent capable of disrupting cholesterol homeostasis.

[0772] Cholesterol plays a critical role in cell proliferation and survival. Intracellular cholesterol levels are maintained by the dynamic equilibrium between biosynthesis,uptake, esterification, and export. The transcriptional regulation of cholesterol metabolism is governed by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and Liver X Receptors (LXRs). SREBPs primarily promote the transcription of genes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis and uptake from the extracellular microenvironment. LXRs respond to excessive intracellular cholesterol or oxidized cholesterols (oxysterols) by inducing the expression of ABCA1 , ABCG1 , and ApoE, which are responsible for cholesterol efflux. While disrupted cholesterol metabolism is a well-established hallmark of cancer, its role in drug tolerance and regulation in persisters remains unclear.

[0773] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent may be any agent capable of inducing expression of one or more of ABCA1 , ABCG1 , and ApoE.

[0774] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is not a statin or HMG-CoA antagonist. Statins typically do not cross the blood-brain barrier, and therefore may not be useful in the treatment of brain cancers.

[0775] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is selected from an LXR agonist, a PRDM7 / 9 inhibitor, a DHCR inhibitor or a combination thereof.

[0776] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is selected from LXR-623, GW3965, T0901317, MRK-740, AY-9944 and SH-42.

[0777] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is an LXR agonist. LXR agonists increase cholesterol efflux from cells, which in turn disrupts cholesterol homeostasis to reduce the available intracellular cholesterol. Any suitable LXR agonist may be used in the combinations of the present invention. Preferred LXR agonists include LXR-623, GW3965 and T0901317.

[0778] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is a PRDM7 / 9 inhibitor. PRDM7 / 9 inhibitors target the histone-3 arginine-4 (H3K4) methyltransferases PRDM7 / 9. PRDM7 / 9 inhibitors antagonise cholesterol biosynthesis, which in turn disrupts cholesterol homeostasis to reduce the available intracellular cholesterol. Any suitable PRDM7 / 9 inhibitor may be used in the combinations of the present invention. Preferred PRDM7 / 9 inhibitors include MRK-740.

[0779] In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is a DHCR inhibitor. The DHCR inhibitor may be an inhibitor of DHCR7 and / or DHCR24. DHCR inhibitors antagonise cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting the last enzyme in the biosynthetic cascade, which in turn disrupts cholesterol homeostasis to reduce the available intracellular cholesterol. Any suitable DHCR inhibitor may be used in the combinations of the present invention. Preferred DHCR inhibitors include AY-9944 and SH-42.Pharmaceutical compositions

[0780] The combination of an tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent may be provided as a pharmaceutical composition optionally further comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.

[0781] Thus, the therapeutic use of these combinations along with pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, prodrugs of the active species, and also formulations and pharmaceutical compositions are within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions including a therapeutically effective amount of the combination of an tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0782] A "pharmaceutical carrier, diluent or excipient" includes, but is not limited to, any physiological buffered (i.e., about pH 7.0 to 7.4) medium including a suitable water soluble carrier, conventional solvents, dispersion media, fillers, solid carriers, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents. Suitable water soluble carriers include, but are not limited to saline, dextrose, corn oil, dimethylsulfoxide, and gelatin capsules. Other conventional additives include lactose, mannitol, corn starch, potato starch, binders such as crystalline cellulose, cellulose derivatives, acacia, gelatins, disintegrators such as sodium carboxymethyl-cellulose, and lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate.

[0783] Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated for any appropriate route of administration including, for example, topical (for example, transdermal or ocular), oral, buccal, nasal, vaginal, rectal or parenteral administration. The term "parenteral" as used herein includes subcutaneous, intradermal, intravascular (for example, intravenous),intramuscular, spinal, intracranial, intrathecal, intraocular, periocular, intraorbital, intrasynovial and intraperitoneal injection, as well as any similar injection or infusion technique. In certain embodiments, compositions in a form suitable for oral use or parenteral use are preferred. Suitable oral forms include, for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. For intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal administration, one or more compounds may be combined with a sterile aqueous solution which is preferably isotonic with the blood of the recipient. Such formulations may be prepared by dissolving solid active ingredient in water containing physiologically compatible substances such as sodium chloride or glycine, and having a buffered pH compatible with physiological conditions to produce an aqueous solution, and rendering said solution sterile. The formulations may be present in unit or multi-dose containers such as sealed ampoules or vials. Examples of suitable components are described in Martindale - The Extra Pharmacopoeia (Pharmaceutical Press, London 1993) and Martin (ed.), Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

[0784] In the present methods, the dose of the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor may vary within wide limits and may be adjusted to individual requirements. The tubulin polymerisation inhibitors may therefore be administered in any therapeutically effective amount. Preferred doses range from about 0.1 mg to about 140 mg per kilogram of body weight per day (e.g. about 0.5 mg to about 7 g per patient per day). The daily dose may be administered as a single dose or in a plurality of doses. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Dosage unit forms will generally contain between about 1 mg to about 500 mg of an active ingredient.

[0785] In the present methods, the dose of the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent may vary within wide limits and may be adjusted to individual requirements. The cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agents may therefore be administered in any therapeutically effective amount. The skilled person will be able to determine the effective amount based on the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent selected and the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor included in the combination. In some embodiments, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent is administered at a dose lower than theagent’s effective dose when used to treat high cholesterol. For example, preferred doses range from about 0.1 mg to about 140 mg per kilogram of body weight per day (e.g. about 0.5 mg to about 7 g per patient per day). The daily dose may be administered as a single dose or in a plurality of doses. The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Dosage unit forms will generally contain between about 1 mg to about 2000 mg of an active ingredient.

[0786] It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level of either or both members of the combination for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination (i.e. other drugs being used to treat the patient), the severity of the particular disorder undergoing therapy, and the location of the unwanted proliferating cells. The dosage will generally be lower if the compounds are administered locally rather than systemically, and for prevention rather than for treatment. Such treatments may be administered as often as necessary and for the period of time judged necessary by the treating physician. A person skilled in the art will appreciate that the dosage regime or therapeutically effective amount of the combination to be administered may need to be optimized for each individual.

[0787] It will be appreciated that different dosages may be required for treating different disorders. An effective amount of an agent is that amount which causes a statistically significant decrease in neoplastic cell count, growth or size. Neoplastic disorders responsive to the agents of the present invention include, but are not limited to, brain cancer, including glioblastoma.

[0788] The terms "therapeutically effective amount" or "effective amount" refer to an amount of the compound of formula (I) that results in prevention, an improvement or remediation of the symptoms of a proliferative disorder. The dosage form and amount of the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be readily established by reference to known treatment or prophylactic regimens.

[0789] Preferred compounds of the invention will have certain pharmacological properties. Such properties include, but are not limited to oral bioavailability and BBBpermeability, such that the preferred dosage forms discussed above can provide therapeutically effective levels of the compound in vivo.

[0790] The compounds of the present invention are preferably administered to a patient (for example, a human) orally or parenterally, and are present within at least one body fluid or tissue of the patient. Accordingly, the present invention further provides methods for treating patients suffering from proliferative disorders (including cancer, such as brain cancer).

[0791] The terms "treating", "treatment" and "therapy" are used herein to refer to curative therapy. Therefore, in the context of the present disclosure, the term "treating" encompasses curing and ameliorating the severity of cancer or its associated symptoms.

[0792] "Preventing" or "prevention" means preventing the occurrence of the cancer or tempering the severity of the cancer if it develops subsequent to the administration of the compounds or pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. This prevents the onset of clinically evident unwanted cell proliferation altogether or the onset of a preclinically evident stage of unwanted rapid cell proliferation in individuals at risk.

[0793] Patients may include but are not limited to primates, especially humans, domesticated companion animals such as dogs, cats, horses, and livestock such as cattle, pigs and sheep.

[0794] Compounds of the present invention may be useful for the treatment and / or prevention of conditions and disorders associated with cell proliferation. The cellular proliferation may be any that is ameliorated by tubulin polymerisation inhibition and / or cholesterol homeostasis disruption. In embodiments, the cellular proliferation is a cancer, such as a brain cancer, for example glioblastoma. Accordingly, the present invention also relates to a method of treating or preventing a proliferative disorder in a patient including administration to the patient of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent, or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate or prodrug thereof.

[0795] The present invention also relates to the use of the combination for treating or preventing a proliferative disorder. The present invention also provides apharmaceutical composition for use in treating or preventing a proliferative disorder, in any of the embodiments described in the specification. The present invention also relates to the use of a therapeutically effective amount of the combination, the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor alone or cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent alone in the manufacture of a medicament comprising the combination for treating or preventing a proliferative disorder.

[0796] The present invention also relates to the combination when used in a method of treating or preventing a proliferative disorder. The present invention also relates to a composition having an active ingredient for use in treating or preventing a proliferative disorder, wherein the active ingredient is one or both of an tubulin polymerisation inhibitor or a cholesterol homeostasis modifying agent.

[0797] The present invention also relates to the use of a pharmaceutical composition containing the combination in treating or preventing a proliferative disorder, such as described above.

[0798] In one embodiment, the proliferative disorder is a cancer.

[0799] In one embodiment, the cancer is a brain cancer (eg a solid tumour).

[0800] The combinations according to the present invention, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may be used in the treatment or prevention of proliferative diseases, preferably cancer. The compounds and compositions of the invention may be useful for the treatment of a wide variety of cancers (tumours), including but not limited to, solid tumours, such as for example, brain cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer brain cancer, skin cancer, colon cancer and bladder cancer.

[0801] The type of cancer or tumor cells that may be amenable to treatment according to the invention include, for example, breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancers, gastrointestinal cancers including esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, polyps associated with colorectal neoplasms, pancreatic cancer and gallbladder cancer, cancer of the adrenal cortex, ACTH-producing tumor, bladder cancer, brain cancer (including those discussed below), Ewing's sarcoma, head and neck cancer including mouth cancer and larynx cancer, kidney cancer including renal cell carcinoma, liver cancer, lung cancer including small and non-small cell lungcancers, malignant peritoneal effusion, malignant pleural effusion, skin cancers including malignant melanoma, tumor progression of human skin keratinocytes, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and hemangiopericytoma, mesothelioma, Kaposi's sarcoma, bone cancer including osteomas and sarcomas such as fibrosarcoma and osteosarcoma, cancers of the female reproductive tract including uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, ovarian (germ cell) cancer and solid tumors in the ovarian follicle, vaginal cancer, cancer of the vulva, and cervical cancer, breast cancer (small cell and ductal), penile cancer, retinoblastoma, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, trophoblastic neoplasms, and Wilms' tumor.

[0802] In one embodiment, the cancer is primary.

[0803] In one embodiment, the cancer is metastatic.

[0804] In one embodiment, the cancer is benign.

[0805] In one embodiment, the cancer is malignant

[0806] In one embodiment, the proliferative disorder to be treated and / or prevented is brain cancer. The brain cancer may be selected from anaplastic astrocytoma, astrocytoma, central neurocytoma, choroid plexus carcinoma, choroid plexus papilloma, choroid plexus tumour, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumour, ependymal tumour, fibrillary astrocytoma, giant-cell glioblastoma, glioblastoma multiforme, gliomatosis cerebri, gliosarcoma, hemangiopericytoma, medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, meningeal carcinomatosis, neuroblastoma, neurocytoma, oligoastrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, optic nerve sheath meningioma, paediatric ependymoma, pilocytic astrocytoma, pinealoblastoma, pineocytoma, pleomorphic anaplastic neuroblastoma, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, sphenoid wing meningioma, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma, subependymoma and trilateral retinoblastoma. Therefore, preferably, the brain cancer is a tumour (preferably, a solid tumour). The brain cancer may be a primary cancer (eg a glioma, a meningioma, a pituitary adenoma or a nerve sheath tumour) or a metastatic cancer (ie a brain cancer that has arisen as a result of cancer in other parts of the body, such as melanoma or lung cancer).

[0807] In some embodiments, the cancer is a recurring cancer. Accordingly, the subject may be a subject who has previously been treated for the same cancer, andmay have been in remission for a period of time, for example a period of less than 5 years.

[0808] Alternatively, or in addition to, the compounds may be administered in further combination with other agents, for example, chemotherapeutic or immune-stimulating drugs or therapeutic agents.

[0809] The terms "combination therapy" or "adjunct therapy" in defining use of a compound of the present invention and one or more other pharmaceutical agents, are intended to embrace administration of each agent in a sequential manner in a regimen that will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination, and is intended as well to embrace co-administration of these agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single formulation having a fixed ratio of these active agents, or in multiple, separate formulations of each agent.

[0810] In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention the combinations may be formulated or administered in combination with one or more further therapeutic agents. Therefore, in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, the combinations described herein may be included in combination treatment regimens with surgery and / or other known treatments or therapeutic agents, such as other anticancer agents, in particular, chemotherapeutic agents, radiotherapeutic agents, and / or adjuvant or prophylactic agents.

[0811] There are large numbers of antineoplastic agents available in commercial use, in clinical evaluation and in pre-clinical development, which could be selected for treatment of cancers or other neoplasias by combination drug chemotherapy. Such antineoplastic agents fall into several major categories, namely, antibiotic-type agents, antimetabolite agents, hormonal agents, immunological agents, interferon-type agents and a category of miscellaneous agents. Alternatively, other anti-neoplastic agents, such as metallomatrix proteases inhibitors may be used. Suitable agents which may be used in combination therapy will be recognized by those of skill in the art. Suitable agents are listed, for example, in the Merck Index, An Encyclopaedia of Chemicals, Drugs and Biologicals, 12th Ed., 1996.

[0812] The methods described herein may comprise administering the active agents of the combinations simultaneously, separately or consecutively. By simultaneously it ismeant that each of the active ingredients are administered at the same time in the same composition (or administered together). By separately it is meant that each of the active ingredients are administered at the same time in different compositions and optionally by different routes of administration. By consecutively it is meant that each of the composition and the further active ingredient are administered separately optionally by different administration routes and may be at different times. Typically, when the active ingredients are administered consecutively they are administered within 24 hours, or within 12, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 hour(s) of each other. The tubulin polymerisation inhibitor may be administered before or after the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent. Preferably the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor is administered after or concurrently with the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that through its activity, the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent results in the cancer cells (including the persisters) being more susceptible to tubulin polymerisation inhibitor activity.

[0813] Preferred combinations of the invention may be synergistic.

[0814] The co-administration of the compounds of the present combinations may be effected by administering a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor being in the same unit dose as the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent, or the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent may be presented in individual and discrete unit dose forms administered at the same, or similar, time. Sequential administration may be in any order as required, and may require an ongoing physiological effect of the first or initial compound to be current when the second or later compound is administered, especially where a cumulative or synergistic effect is desired. It will be appreciated that the compositions comprising the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent refer to both active agents being combined into the same physical composition. However, the invention is not limited to such compositions, as the methods described herein may involve administering these agents separately or sequentially via the same or different administration routes. Similarly, further active agents may be administered together, sequentially, or spaced apart in combination with the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and the cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent.

[0815] Also provided herein are methods of treating and / or preventing a proliferative disorder, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a tubulinpolymerisation inhibitor (such as a compound of any of fomulas (l)-(X)) to a subject in need thereof that is receiving or has received cholesterol homeostasis disruption therapy (for example therapy with a cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent).

[0816] Also provided herein are methods of treating and / or preventing a proliferative disorder, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent to a subject in need thereof that is receiving or has received tubulin polymerisation inhibition therapy (for example therapy with a tubulin polymerisation inhibitor (such as a compound of any of fomulas (l)-(X))).

[0817] For various applications, any active compound described herein (including the tubulin polymerisation inhibitor and cholesterol homeostasis disrupting agent) may be provided in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, prodrug, N-oxide, tautomer, polymorph, or stereoisomer thereof.

Untreated (Day 0) and treated (Day 14) cells were stained with Nuclear-ID red stain (Enzo Lifesciences, Cat # ENZ-52406) at 1 :1 ,000 dilution in StemPro media. Cells were incubated with the stain for 30 min prior to washing with Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) three times. The final wash was retained for imaging. Images were taken using Zeiss Axio Scope. A1 and ZEN 2 - blue edition software (Zeiss). Fiji (Imaged) was used to quantify stained cells.

[0828] Results of nuclear ID stain experiments are shown in Figure 1, Figure 4, Figure 7 and Figure 10.Clonogenic outgrowth assay

[0829] Glioblastoma stem cells were seeded in 6-well plates (1 x 104cells / well) and treated with CMPD1 / WJA88 (25 pM) ± tested drugs (MRK-740, MRK-740-NC, LXR-623, T0901317, GW3965, SR9243, AY 9944; SH-42) for 7 days. Cells were allowed to recover in drug-free media for an additional 7 - 21 days (depending on the cell line). Once visible colonies were formed in CMPD1 -only or WJA88-only samples, colonies were washed once with PBS, incubated with toluidine blue (1% w / v in water) for 4 h at 4 °C. Plates were imaged using Gel Doc XR+ with Image Lab Software (Bio-Rad) and confluency was assessed using Imaged software.

[0830] Results of clonogenic outgrowth assay experiments are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 11 and Figure 12.

[0831] Figure 2 shows MRK-740 as a single agent is not effective. MRK-740 at 3 pM (confirmed target engagement and inhibition of PRDM7 / 9) does not affect viability of cells, because it decreases cholesterol (but not depletes it).

[0832] Figure 5 shows that LXR agonists at 1 pM (confirmed target engagement and activation of LXR transcriptional activity) do not affect viability. However there are numerous papers showing that LXR agonist at 5-20pM as single agents kill cancer cells. This is most likely related to off-targets and / or complete depletion of cholesterol. The same for DHCRi, where Figure 8 and Figure 9 show no efficacy for these compounds as single agents.Patient-derived GBM6 xenografts

[0833] GBM6 glioblastoma cells (EGFR over-expression; EGFRvlll mutant) were cultured in StemPro medium (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) consisting of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium / F12 knock out medium, 100 U penicillin / streptomycin, 2 mM GlutaMAX, neurobasal supplement, 10 ng / mL basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and 10 ng / mL EGF, at 37 °C and 5% CO2.

[0834] Balb / c / nudes mice (ARC, Perth) were injected with 3x105GBM6 cells in the cortex, tumour imaging was done on Day 5. Animals were randomised into 4 treatment groups (1. vehicle, 2. WJA88 50 mg / kg; 3. LXR-623 100 mg / kg; 4. WJA88 50 mg / kg+LXR-623 100 mg / kg) and treatments began on Day 6. WJA88 was formulatedusing 40% Captisol and administered using IP route. LXR-623 was formulated using 10% DMSO, 15% PEG 300, 5% Tween 80 and 70% Milli Q water and administrated orally (PO). Both drugs were administered for two weeks (5 days on, two days off), and no significant weight loss was observed. WJA88 was dosed at 50 mg / kg and LXR-623 was dosed at 100 mg / kg BID (i.e., 2 x 50mg / kg). Animals received ad-libitium food and water, with nutritional enrichment when required. Tumour growth was imaged once a week during and after the treatment to evaluate the efficacy of the combination.

[0835] Results are shown in Figure 13.
