SMALL MOLECULE PROTEIN DEGRADERS OF KRAS G12D MUTANTFIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to certain compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that modulate the G12D mutant of Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) protein and are expected to have utility as therapeutic agents, for example, for treatment of cancer. The present application also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as well as methods of usingthe compounds for treating cancer.BACKGROUND
[0002] The KRAS gene belongs to the RAS family, is one of the common gene mutations in human cancers and encodes a small GTPase. RAS proteins are membrane-associated guanine nucleotide-binding proteins which function as molecular switches. RAS proteins function as components of signaling pathways transmitting signals from cell-surface receptors to regulate cellular proliferation, survival and differentiation. RAS proteins cycle between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state. The KRAS gene is involved in the kinase signaling pathway that controls gene transcription, thereby regulating cell growth and differentiation. Within the cell, KRAS protein transitionsbetween an inactive and an active state - when KRAS binds to Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP), it is in the inactive state; when it binds to Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP), it is in the active state and can activate downstream signaling pathways. KRAS in most cells is inactivated and when activated, downstream signaling pathways that can be activated include the MAPK signaling pathway, the PI3K signaling pathway, and the Ral-GEFs signaling pathway. These signaling pathways play an important role in promoting cell survival, proliferation and cytokine release, thereby affecting tumorigenesis and progression.
[0003] In human cancers, KRAS gene mutations occur in nearly 90% of pancreatic cancers, about 30% to 40% of colon cancers, about 17% of endometrial cancers, and about 15% to 20% of Lung cancers (mostly Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, NSCLC). It also appears in cancer types such as cholangiocarcinoma, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, liver cancer, and breast cancer. That is, in many of the cancers described above, there is a high proportion of KRAS gene mutations. Most KRAS missense mutations occur in codon 12, resulting in glycine to other amino acids, for example, exchange of glycine for an aspartate at residue 12 of RAS (the G12Dmutation). Depending on the particular mutation present, G12C, G12D and G12R are the most common KRAS mutations in patients, e.g., KRAS G12D andKRAS G12V mutations, both found in about 90% of pancreatic cancers, andKRAS G12D is the most common KRAS mutation in colon cancer.
[0004] Currently in relation to KRAS G12D, in the case of anticancer drugs, small molecules traditionally inhibit the activity of target protein by targeted binding to induce cancer cell apoptosis, but target proteins in tumor cells often recovertheir activity and acquire drug resistance through overexpression of the target protein or incorporation of a new mutation in the target protein.
[0005] Targeted protein degraders (TPDs) are heterobifunctional molecules containing two small molecule binding moieties, joined together by a linker. One of the small molecule components is designed to bind with high affinity to a target protein in the cell and the other can bind with high affinity to an E3 ligase. In the cell, the TPD selectively binds to the target protein of interest. The TPD then recruits a specific E3 ligase to the target protein to form a ternary complex with both the target protein and the E3 ligase held in close proximity. The E3 ligase then recruits an E2 conjugating enzyme to the ternary complex. E2 is then able to ubiquitinate the target protein, labelling an available lysine residue on the protein, and then dissociates from the ternary complex. E3 can then recruit additional E2 molecules resulting in poly-ubiquitination of the target protein, labelling the target protein for potential degradation by the cell’s proteasome activity. A TPD is then able to dissociate from the targetprotein and initiate another catalytic cycle. The poly-ubiquitinated target protein is then recognized and degraded by the proteasome.
[0006] Accordingly, while progress has been made in this field, there remains a need in the art for small molecules that enable targeted degradation therapy for KRAS G12D mutation-related diseases or disorders. Embodiments of the present disclosure fulfill this need and provide further related advantages.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0054] When any variable (e.g., Rx) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula (I) or other generic formulas herein, its definition on each occurrence is independentof its definition at every other occurrence. Combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. In choosing compounds of the present disclosure, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the various substituents, e.g., Rx, are to be chosen in conformity with well-known principles of chemical structure connectivity and stability. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, substitution by a named substituent is permitted on any atom in a ring (e.g., aryl, a heteroaryl ring, or a saturated heteroaryl ring) provided such ring substitution is chemically allowed and results in a stable compound. A “stable” compound is a compound which can be prepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or can be causedto remain essentially unchanged for a period of time sufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes described herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).
[0055] The term “substituted” shall be deemed to include multiple degrees of substitution by a named substituent. Where multiple substituent moieties are disclosed or claimed, the substituted compound can be independently substitutedby one or more of the disclosed or claimed substituent moieties, singly orplurally. By independently substituted, itis meantthat the (two or more) substituents can be the same or different.
[0056] Unless expressly depicted or described otherwise, variables depicted in a structural formula with a “floating” bond, such as Rx, are permitted on any available carbon atom in the ring to which the variable is attached. When a moiety is noted as being “optionally substituted” in Formula (I) or any embodiment thereof, it means that Formula (I) or the embodiment thereof encompasses compounds that contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety and also compounds thatdo not contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety.
[0057] The wavy lineas used herein, indicates a point of attachment to the rest of the compound.
[0058] The compounds of Formula (I) may contain one or more asymmetric centersand can thus occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereoisomeric mixtures and individual diastereoisomers. Centers of asymmetry that are present in the compounds of Formula (I) can all independently of one another have S configuration or R configuration. The compounds of Formula (I) include all possible enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures of two or more stereoisomers, for example, mixtures of enantiomers and / or diastereomers, in all ratios. Thus, enantiomers are a subject of the disclosure in enantiomerically pure form, both aslevorotatory and as dextrorotatory antipodes, in the form of racemates and in the form of mixtures of the two enantiomers in all ratios. In the case of a cis / trans isomerism, the disclosure includes both the cis form and the trans form as well as mixtures of these forms in all ratios. The present disclosure is meantto comprehend all such stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of Formula (I). Where a structural formula or chemical name specifies a particular configuration at a stereocenter, the enantiomer or stereoisomer of the compound resulting from that specified stereocenter is intended. Where a structural formula of the compounds of Formula (I) indicates a straight line at a chiral center, the structural formula includes both the S and R stereoisomers associated with the chiral center and mixtures thereof.
[0059] The compounds of Formula (I) may be separated into their individual diastereoisomers by, for example, fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent, for example, methanol or ethyl acetate or a mixture thereof, or via chiral chromatography using an optically active stationary phase. Absolute stereochemistry may be determined by X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) may also be used to determine the absolute stereochemistry. Alternatively, any stereoisomer or isomers of the compounds of Formula (I) may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known absolute configuration.
[0060] If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereoisomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereoisomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diasteromeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.
[0061] The compounds of Formula (I) which contain olefinic double bonds, unless specified otherwise, they are meantto include both E and Z geometric isomers.
[0062] Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers which have different points of attachment of hydrogen accompanied by one or more double bond shifts. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed by the compounds of Formula (I).
[0063] Some of the compounds of Formula (I) described herein may exist as atropisomers when the rotational energy barrier around a single bond is sufficiently high to prevent free rotation at a given temperature, thus allowing isolation of individual conformers with distinct properties. The individual atropisomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed with compounds of Formula (I) of the present disclosure. When resolved, individual atropisomers can be designated by established conventions such as those specified by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) 2013 Recommendations.
[0064] In the compounds of Formula (I), the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present disclosure as described and claimed herein is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of Formula (I) and embodiments thereof. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium (2H, also denoted herein as D). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically- enriched compounds can be preparedwithout undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and / or intermediates.
[0065] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic bases or acids.

[0071] The dosage regimen utilizing a compound of Formula (I) is selected in accordance with a variety of factors including type, species, age, weight, sex and medical condition of the patient; the severity of the condition to be treated; the potency of the compound chosen to be administered; the route of administration; and the renal and hepatic function of the patient. A consideration of these factors is well within the purview of the ordinarily skilled clinician for the purpose of determining the therapeutically effective or prophylactically effective dosage amount needed to prevent, counter, or arrest the progress of the condition. It is understood that a specific daily dosage amount can simultaneously be both a therapeutically effective amount, e.g. , for treatment of an oncological condition, and a prophylactically effective amount, e.g., for prevention of an oncological condition.
[0072] While individual needs vary, determination of optimal ranges of effective amounts of the compounds of Formula (I) is within the skill of the art. For administration to a human in, for example, the curative or prophylactic treatment of the conditions and disorders identified herein, the typical dosages of the compounds of Formula (I) can be about 0.05 mg / kg / day to about 50 mg / kg / day, or at least 0.05 mg / kg, or at least 0.08 mg / kg, or at least 0.1 mg / kg, or at least0.2 mg / kg, or atleast 0.3 mg / kg, or at least0.4 mg / kg, or atleast 0.5 mg / kg, and any amount therebetween, to about 50 mg / kg or less, or about 40 mg / kg or less, or about30 mg / kg or less, or about 20 mg / kg or less, or about 10 mg / kg or less and any amount therebetween, which can be, for example, about2.5 mg / day (0.5 mg / kg x 5 kg) to about 5000 mg / day (50 mg / kg x 100 kg). For example, dosages of the compounds canbe aboutO.l mg / kg / day to about 50 mg / kg / day, or about 0.05 mg / kg / day to about 10 mg / kg / day, or about 0.05 mg / kg / day to about 5 mg / kg / day, or about 0.05 mg / kg / day to about 3 mg / kg / day, or about 0.07 mg / kg / day to about 3 mg / kg / day, or about 0.09 mg / kg / day to about 3 mg / kg / day, or about 0.05 mg / kg / day to about 0. 1 mg / kg / day, or about 0.1 mg / kg / day to about 1 mg / kg / day, or about 1 mg / kg / day to about 10 mg / kg / day, or about 1 mg / kg / day to about 5 mg / kg / day, or about 1 mg / kg / day to about 3 mg / kg / day, or about 3 mg / day to about 500 mg / day, or about 5 mg / day to about 250 mg / day, or about 10 mg / day to about 100 mg / day, or about 3 mg / day to about 10 mg / day, or about 100 mg / day to about 250 mg / day. Such doses may be administered in a single dose or may be divided into multiple doses.Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0073] The compounds of Formula (I) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be administered to animals, preferably to mammals, and in particular to humans, as pharmaceuticals by themselves, in mixtures with one another or in the form of pharmaceutical compositions.

In Step C, alternatively, HCl may be used as a deprotecting agent and DCE as the solvent. Optionally, before Step C, a separate treatment of CsF as a deprotecting agent and DMF as the solvent may be used for cases involving silyl protecting groups that are stable to acid. The final compound, if containing a mixture of isomers, maybe further separated by chiral SFC.

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 527,963, filed July 20, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present disclosure relates to certain compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that modulate the G12D mutant of Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) protein and are expected to have utility as therapeutic agents, for example, for treatment of cancer. The present application also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as well as methods of using the compounds for treating cancer.BACKGROUND
[0003] The KRAS gene belongs to the RAS family, is one of the common gene mutations in human cancers and encodes a small GTPase. RAS proteins are membrane-associated guanine nucleotide-binding proteins which function as molecular switches. RAS proteins function as components of signaling pathways transmitting signals from cell-surface receptors to regulate cellular proliferation, survival and differentiation. RAS proteins cycle between an inactive GDP-bound state and an active GTP-bound state. The KRAS gene is involved in the kinase signaling pathway that controls gene transcription, thereby regulating cell growth and differentiation. Within the cell, KRAS protein transitions between an inactive and an active state - when KRAS binds to Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP), it is in the inactive state; when it binds to Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP), it is in the active state and can activate downstream signaling pathways. KRAS in most cells is inactivated and when activated, downstream signaling pathways that can be activated include the MAPK signaling pathway, the PI3K signaling pathway, and the Ral-GEFs signaling pathway. These signaling pathways play an important role in promoting cell survival, proliferation and cytokine release, thereby affecting tumorigenesis and progression.
[0004] In human cancers, KRAS gene mutations occur in nearly 90% of pancreatic cancers, about 30% to 40% of colon cancers, about 17% of endometrial cancers, and about 15% to 20% of Lung cancers (mostly Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, NSCLC). It also appears in cancer types such as cholangiocarcinoma, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, liver cancer, andbreast cancer. That is, in many of the cancers described above, there is a high proportion of KRAS gene mutations. Most KRAS missense mutations occur in codon 12, resulting in glycine to other amino acids, for example, exchange of glycine for an aspartate at residue 12 of RAS (the G12D mutation). Depending on the particular mutation present, G12C, G12D and G12R are the most common KRAS mutations in patients, e.g., KRAS G12D and KRAS G12V mutations, both found in about 90% of pancreatic cancers, and KRAS G12D is the most common KRAS mutation in colon cancer.
[0005] Currently in relation to KRAS G12D, in the case of anticancer drugs, small molecules traditionally inhibit the activity of target protein by targeted binding to induce cancer cell apoptosis, but target proteins in tumor cells often recover their activity and acquire drag resistance through overexpression of the target protein or incorporation of a new mutation in the target protein.
[0006] Targeted protein degraders (TPDs) are heterobifunctional molecules containing two small molecule binding moieties, joined together by a linker. One of the small molecule components is designed to bind with high affinity to a target protein in the cell and the other can bind with high affinity to an E3 ligase. In the cell, the TPD selectively binds to the target protein of interest. The TPD then recruits a specific E3 ligase to the target protein to form a ternary complex with both the target protein and the E3 ligase held in close proximity. The E3 ligase then recruits an E2 conjugating enzyme to the ternary complex. E2 is then able to ubiquitinate the target protein, labelling an available lysine residue on the protein, and then dissociates from the ternary complex. E3 can then recruit additional E2 molecules resulting in poly-ubiquitination of the target protein, labelling the target protein for potential degradation by the cell’s proteasome activity. A TPD is then able to dissociate from the target protein and initiate another catalytic cycle. The poly-ubiquitinated target protein is then recognized and degraded by the proteasome.
[0007] Accordingly, while progress has been made in this field, there remains a need in the art for small molecules that enable targeted degradation therapy for KRAS G12D mutation- related diseases or disorders. Embodiments of the present disclosure fulfill this need and provide further related advantages.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0008] The present disclosure provides small molecule protein degraders which modulate mutant KRAS proteins and may be valuable pharmaceutically active compounds for thetreatment of cancer. The compounds of the disclosure, including compounds of Formula (I):and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, can modulate the KRAS activity and thereby affect the signaling pathway which regulates cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation associated with oncological disorders.

[0059] When any variable (e.g. , Rx) occurs more than one time in any constituent or in Formula (I) or other generic formulas herein, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Combinations of substituents and / or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. In choosing compounds of the present disclosure, one of ordinary’ skill in the art will recognize that the various substituents, e.g., Rx, are to be chosen in conformity with well-known principles of chemical structure connectivity and stability . Unless expressly stated to the contrary, substitution by a named substituent is permitted on any atom in a ring (e.g., aryl, a heteroaryl ring, or a saturated heteroaryl ring) provided such ring substitution is chemically allowed and results in a stable compound. A “stable” compound is a compound which can be prepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or can be caused to remain essentially unchanged for a period of time sufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes described herein (e.g., therapeutic or prophylactic administration to a subject).
[0060] Idle term “substituted” shall be deemed to include multiple degrees of substitution by a named substituent. Where multiple substituent moieties are disclosed or claimed, the substituted compound can be independently substituted by one or more of the disclosed or claimed substituent moieties, singly or plurally. By independently substituted, it is meant that the (two or more) substituents can be the same or different.
[0061] Unless expressly depicted or described otherwise, variables depicted in a structural formula with a “floating” bond, such as Rx, are permited on any available carbon atom in the ring to which the variable is attached. When a moiety is noted as being “optionallysubstituted” in Formula (I) or any embodiment thereof, it means that Formula (I) or the embodiment thereof encompasses compounds that contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety and also compounds that do not contain the noted substituent (or substituents) on the moiety.
[0062] The wavy line as used herein, indicates a point of attachment to the rest ofthe compound.
[0063] The compounds of Formula (I) may contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereoisomeric mixtures and individual diastereoisomers. Centers of asymmetry that are present in the compounds of Formula (I) can all independently of one another have S configuration or R configuration. Tire compounds of Formula (I) include all possible enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures of two or more stereoisomers, for example, mixtures of enantiomers and / or diastereomers, in all ratios. Thus, enantiomers are a subject of the disclosure in enantiomerical ly pure form, both as levorotatory and as dextrorotatory antipodes, in the form of racemates and in the form of mixtures of the two enantiomers in ail ratios. In the case of a cis / trans isomerism, the disclosure includes both the cis form and the trans form as well as mixtures of these forms in all ratios, lire present disclosure is meant to comprehend all such stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of Formula (I). Where a structural formula or chemical name specifies a particular configuration at a stereocenter, the enantiomer or stereoisomer of the compound resulting from that specified stereocenter is intended. Where a structural formula of the compounds of Formula (I) indicates a straight line at a chiral center, the structural formula includes both the S and R stereoisomers associated with the chiral center and mixtures thereof.
[0064] The compounds of Formula (1) may be separated into their individual diastereoisomers by, for example, fractional crystallization from a suitable solvent, for example, methanol or ethyl acetate or a mixture thereof, or via chiral chromatography using an optically active stationary phase. Absolute stereochemistry may be determined by X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or cry stalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) may also be used to determine the absolute stereochemistry. Alternatively, any stereoisomer or isomers of the compounds of Formula (I) may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis rising optically pure starting materials or reagents of known absolute configuration.
[0065] If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereoisomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereoisomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diasteromeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art.
[0066] Tire compounds of Formula (I) which contain olefinic double bonds, unless specified otherwise, they are meant to include both E and Z geometric isomers.
[0067] Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers which have different points of attachment of hydrogen accompanied by one or more double bond shifts. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed by the compounds of Formula (I).
[0068] Some of the compounds of Formula (I) described herein may exist as atropisomers when the rotational energy barrier around a single bond is sufficiently high to prevent free rotation at a given temperature, thus allowing isolation of individual conformers with distinct properties. The individual atropisomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed with compounds of formula (I) of the present disclosure. When resolved, individual atropisomers can be designated by established conventions such as those specified by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) 2013 Recommendations.
[0069] In the compounds of Formula (I), the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present disclosure as described and claimed herein is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of Formula (I) and embodiments thereof. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium (2H, also denoted herein as D).Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically-enriched compounds can be prepared without undueexperimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or byprocesses analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and / or intermediates.

Salts can be obtained from the compounds of Formula (I) by customary methods which are known to the person skilled in the art, for example, by combination with an organic or inorganic acid or base in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion exchange or cation exchange from other salts. Tire present disclosure also includes all salts of the compounds of Formula (I) which, owing to low' physiological compatibility, are not directlysuitable for use in pharmaceuticals but which can be used, for example, as intermediates for chemical reactions or for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0072] Furthermore, the compounds of Formula (I) may exist in amorphous form and / or one or more crystalline forms, and as such all amorphous and crystalline forms and mixtures thereof of the compounds of Formula (I), including the Examples, are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, some of the compounds of Formula (I) may form solvates with water (i.e., a hydrate) or common organ ic solvents such as but not limited to ethyl acetate. Such solvates and hydrates, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and hydrates, of the instant compounds are likewise encompassed within the scope of this disclosure, along with un-solvated and anhydrous forms.
[0073] Any pharmaceutically acceptable pro-drug modification of a compound of Formula (I) which results in conversion in vivo to a compo und within the scope of this disclosure is also within the scope of this disclosure.
[0074] The present disclosure also relates to processes for the preparation of the compounds of the disclosure which are described in the following and by which the compounds of the disclosure are obtainable.
[0075] The terms “therapeutically effective (or efficacious) amount” and similar descriptions such as “an amount efficacious for treatment” or “an effective dose” are intended to mean that amount of a compound of Formula (I) that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, a system, animal or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician.
