Description

[Technical field]

[0001] [CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 220,323, filed July 9, 2021, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 314,992, filed February 28, 2022, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present disclosure provides compounds and their salts that bind to cereblon and thereby modulate cereblon activity. In some embodiments, certain compounds described herein bind to cereblon, resulting in a decrease in cellular IKAROS family zinc finger (IKZF) protein levels. In some embodiments, certain compounds described herein bind to cereblon but do not result in a decrease in cellular IKZF protein levels. In some embodiments, compounds disclosed herein bind to cereblon, thereby initiating the degradation of IKZF proteins (e.g., IKZF2). Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds or their salts (e.g., pharma- ceutically acceptable salts), and methods of using such compounds and / or their salts in the treatment of various IKZF2-mediated diseases or disorders. [Background technology]

[0003] IKAROS family zinc finger 2 (IKZF2) (also known as Helios) is one of five members of the Ikaros family of transcription factors found in mammals. IKZF2 is a key regulator of T cell activity and function. Genetic deletion of Helios resulted in enhanced antitumor immune responses (Non-Patent Document 1). Notably, Helios is highly expressed in regulatory T cells (Treg), a subpopulation of T cells that limits the activity of effector T cells (Non-Patent Document 2). Selective deletion of Helios in regulatory T cells resulted in both loss of suppressive activity and acquisition of effector T cell function (Non-Patent Document 3, Non-Patent Document 4). Thus, Helios is a key factor in limiting T cell effector function in Treg.

[0004] Helios expression has also been reported to be upregulated in "exhausted" T cells in both chronic viral infection (Non-Patent Document 5, Non-Patent Document 6, Non-Patent Document 7) and tumor (Non-Patent Document 8, Non-Patent Document 9, Non-Patent Document 10, Non-Patent Document 11, Non-Patent Document 12) situations, as well as in the dysfunction of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (Non-Patent Document 13). Overexpression or aberrant expression of Helios and various splice isoforms has been reported in several hematological malignancies, including T cell leukemia and lymphoma (Non-Patent Document 14, Non-Patent Document 15, Non-Patent Document 16). Furthermore, knockdown of Helios in a model of mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-induced myeloid leukemia strongly suppressed proliferation and increased cell death (Non-Patent Document 17, Non-Patent Document 18).

[0005] Currently, anti-CTLA4 antibodies are used in clinical trials to target Tregs in tumors. However, targeting CTLA4 often leads to systemic activation of T effector cells, resulting in excessive toxicity and limiting therapeutic usefulness. Up to 75% of patients treated with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 combination reported grade 3 or higher adverse events (Non-Patent Document 19).

[0006] There is a need for therapies that can target Tregs within tumors without causing systemic activation of T effector cells. Thus, IKZF2-specific modulators or degraders may focus enhanced immune responses to tumor or proximal areas, providing a potentially more tolerable and less toxic therapy for the treatment of IKZF2-mediated diseases.

[0051] "Heterocyclyl" (used interchangeably with "heterocycloalkyl") refers to a saturated or partially unsaturated cyclic alkyl group having one or more ring heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. The term "heterocyclyl" includes heterocycloalkenyl groups (i.e., heterocyclyl groups having at least one double bond), bridged heterocyclyl groups, fused heterocyclyl groups, and spiro heterocyclyl groups. Heterocyclyls may be monocyclic or polycyclic, where the polycyclic rings may be fused, bridged, or spiro, and may contain one or more (e.g., 1 to 3) oxo (=O) moieties or N-oxide (-O - ) moieties. Any non-aromatic ring containing at least one heteroatom, regardless of attachment (i.e., it may be bonded via a carbon atom or a heteroatom), is considered a heterocyclyl. Additionally, the term heterocyclyl is intended to encompass any non-aromatic ring containing at least one heteroatom, which may be fused to a cycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl ring, regardless of attachment of the ring to the remainder of the molecule. As used herein, heterocyclyl refers to a ring having from 2 to 20 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 2~20 heterocyclyl), 2 to 12 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 2~12 heterocyclyl), 2 to 10 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 2~10 heterocyclyl), 2 to 8 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 2~8 heterocyclyl), 3 to 12 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 3~12 heterocyclyl), 3 to 8 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 3~8 heterocyclyl), or 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms (i.e., C 3~6Heterocyclyl) and has 1 to 5 ring heteroatoms, 1 to 4 ring heteroatoms, 1 to 3 ring heteroatoms, 1 to 2 ring heteroatoms, or 1 ring heteroatom independently selected from nitrogen, sulfur, or oxygen. Examples of heterocyclyl groups include, for example, azetidinyl, azepinyl, benzodioxolyl, benzo[b][1,4]dioxepinyl, 1,4-benzodioxanyl, benzopyranyl, benzodioxinyl, benzopyranonyl, benzofuranonyl, dioxolanyl, dihydropyranyl, hydropyranyl, thienyl[1,3]dithianyl, decahydroisoquinolyl, furanonyl, imidazolinyl, imidazolidinyl, indolinyl, indolizinyl, isoindolinyl, isothiazolidinyl, isoxazolidinyl, morpholinyl, octahydroindolyl, octahydroisoquinol ... The term "heterocyclyl" includes "spiroheterocyclyl" when there are two substitution positions on the same carbon atom. Examples of spiro-type heterocyclyl rings include bicyclic and tricyclic ring systems such as, for example, oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octanyl, 2-oxa-7-azaspiro[3.5]nonanyl, 2-oxa-6-azaspiro[3.4]octanyl, and 6-oxa-1-azaspiro[3.3]heptanyl. Examples of fused heterocyclyl rings include, but are not limited to, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolinyl, 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridinyl, indolinyl, and isoindolinyl, where the heterocyclyl may be attached via either ring of the fused system.In some embodiments, the heterocycloalkyl can be optionally substituted with oxo group(s) on the heteroatom (eg, S=O, S(=O)2).

[0060] Polymers or similar indefinite structures arrived at by defining a substituent with unlimited addition of further substituents (e.g., substituted aryl with substituted alkyl, itself substituted with substituted aryl group, which is further substituted with substituted heteroalkyl group, etc.) are not intended to be included herein. Unless otherwise specified, the maximum number of consecutive substitutions in the compounds described herein is 3. For example, consecutive substitution of a substituted aryl group with two other substituted aryl groups is limited to ((substituted aryl) substituted aryl) substituted aryl. Similarly, the above definition is not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluorines, or a heteroaryl group with two adjacent oxygen ring atoms). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to those skilled in the art. When used to modify a chemical group, the term "substituted" may refer to other chemical groups as defined herein.

[0061] In certain embodiments, as used herein, the phrase "one or more" refers to 1 to 5. In certain embodiments, as used herein, the phrase "one or more" refers to 1 to 3.

[0062] Any compound or structure depicted herein is intended to represent unlabeled forms of the compound as well as isotopically labeled forms. These forms of the compounds may also be referred to as "isotopically enriched analogs." Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include, but are not limited to, isotopically labeled, isotopically labeled, and isotopically labeled. 2 H, 3 H, 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 13 N, 15 N, 15 O. 17 O. 18 O. 31 P, 32 P, 35 S, 18F, 36 Cl, 123 I, and 125 Included are isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure are, for example, 3 H and 14 C. Such isotopically labeled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radiation treatment of patients.

[0063] The term "isotopically enriched analog" includes the "deuterated analog" of the compounds described herein, in which one or more hydrogens, such as hydrogens on carbon atoms, are replaced by deuterium. Such compounds are highly resistant to metabolism and are therefore useful for increasing the half-life of any compound when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, "Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism," Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12): 524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means known in the art, for example, using starting materials in which one or more hydrogens are replaced by deuterium.

[0064] Deuterium-labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the present disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic) properties related to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may confer certain therapeutic advantages due to greater metabolic stability, e.g., increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements, and / or improved therapeutic index. 18 F, 3 H or 11C labeled compounds may be useful for PET or SPECT or other imaging studies. The isotopically labeled compounds and their prodrugs of the present disclosure can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below, substituting non-isotopically labeled reagents with readily available isotopically labeled reagents. In this regard, it is understood that deuterium is considered as a substituent in the compounds described herein.

[0065] The concentration of such heavier isotopes, specifically deuterium, can be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of the present disclosure, any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise noted, when a position is specifically designated as "H" or "hydrogen", the position is understood to have hydrogen in natural abundance isotopic composition. Thus, in the compounds of the present disclosure, any atom specifically designated as deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

[0066] In many cases, the compounds of the present disclosure are capable of forming acid and / or base salts by virtue of the presence of amino and / or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto.

[0067] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isotopically enriched analogs, deuterated analogs, stereoisomers, mixtures of stereoisomers, and prodrugs of the compounds described herein are also provided. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" or "physiologically acceptable" refers to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms, and other materials useful in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use.

[0068] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of a given compound refers to a salt that retains the biological effectiveness and properties of the given compound and is not biologically or otherwise undesirable. "Pharmaceutically acceptable salt" or "physiologically acceptable salt" includes, for example, salts with inorganic acids and salts with organic acids. Furthermore, when a compound described herein is obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, when the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, can be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid according to conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methods that can be used to prepare non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be prepared from inorganic or organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic acids include, for example, salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Salts derived from organic acids include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, gluconic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like. Similarly, pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be prepared from inorganic or organic bases. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, by way of example only, sodium, potassium, lithium, aluminum, ammonium, calcium, and magnesium salts.Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, such as alkylamines (i.e., NH2(alkyl)), dialkylamines (i.e., HN(alkyl)2), trialkylamines (i.e., N(alkyl)3), substituted alkylamines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkyl)), di(substituted alkyl)amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkyl)2), tri(substituted alkyl)amines (i.e., N(substituted alkyl)3), alkenylamines (i.e., NH2(alkenyl)), dialkenylamines (i.e., HN(alkenyl)), aryl)2), trialkenylamines (i.e., N(alkenyl)3), substituted alkenylamines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkenyl)), di(substituted alkenyl)amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkenyl)2), tri(substituted alkenyl)amines (i.e., N(substituted alkenyl)3), mono-, di-, or tri-cycloalkylamines (i.e., NH2(cycloalkyl), HN(cycloalkyl)2, N(cycloalkyl)3), mono-, di-, or tri-arylamines (i.e., NH2(aryl), HN(aryl)2, N(aryl)3), or mixed amines, etc. Specific examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, tri(iso-propyl)amine, tri(n-propyl)amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, and the like.

[0069] Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with each other. For example, an amide-containing compound may exist in equilibrium with an imidic acid tautomer. Regardless of which tautomer is shown and the nature of the equilibrium between the tautomers, one skilled in the art will understand the compound to include both the amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, amide-containing compounds are understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Similarly, imidic acid-containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers.

[0070] The compounds or their pharma- ceutically acceptable salts may contain asymmetric centers and thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers and other stereoisomers that can be de?ned in terms of absolute stereochemistry as (R)- or (S)-, or for amino acids as (D)- or (L)-. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (-), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents or separated using conventional techniques, e.g., chromatography and / or fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation / isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from suitable optically pure precursors or separation of the racemates (or racemates of salts or derivatives) using, e.g., chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless otherwise specified, the compounds are intended to include both E and Z geometric isomers.

[0071] "Stereoisomers" refer to compounds made up of the same atoms joined by the same bonds but with different three-dimensional structures, and are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers or mixtures thereof, and includes "enantiomers," which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

[0072] "Diastereomers" are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms, but which are not mirror-images of each other.

[0073] Relative centers of compounds depicted herein are shown diagrammatically using a "thick bond" style (bold or parallel lines) and absolute stereochemistry is depicted using wedge bonds (bold or parallel lines).

[0074] "Prodrug" refers to any compound that releases an active parent drug according to the structures described herein in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds described herein such that the modifications can be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. Prodrugs can be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds described herein such that the modifications can be cleaved either by routine manipulation or in vivo to yield the parent compound. Prodrugs include compounds described herein in which a hydroxy, amino, carboxyl, or sulfhydryl group in the compounds described herein is bonded to any group that can be cleaved in vivo to regenerate a free hydroxy, amino, or sulfhydryl group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, esters (e.g., acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives), amides, guanidines, carbamates (e.g., N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl), and the like of the hydroxy functional groups in the compounds described herein. The preparation, selection, and use of prodrugs are discussed in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems," Vol. 14 of the ACS Symposium Series, "Design of Prodrugs," ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985, and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0285] Biological Examples Cereblon (CRBN) target binding HEK293T cells were harvested with trypsin at approximately 75% confluence and plated in 2 mL of Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) + 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) in 6-well tissue culture plates (500,000 cells per well) and incubated overnight at 37°C.

[0286] The NanoLuc-CRBN fusion vector (Nluc-CRBN, Promega) contains the coding region of the human E3 ligase component cereblon (CRBN) fused to the C-terminus of the NanoLuc luciferase coding region. A mixture of 10 ng of Nluc-CRBN and 990 ng of DDB1 expression vector (Promega) was added to 125 μL of Opti-Minimum Essential Medium (Opti-MEM™, Thermo Fisher) with 2 μL of P3000 reagent (Thermo Fisher) in a 1.5 mL Eppendorf tube. This solution was added to Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent (5 μL, Thermo Fisher) in Opti-MEM (125 μL), mixed well, and incubated at room temperature for 15 min. The transfection mixture was added dropwise to the cells and incubated overnight at 37° C., 5% CO2. After transfection, cells were washed once with PBS and trypsin (250 μL) was added and incubated for 30-45 s to dislodge the cells. Complete medium (2 mL) was added to resuspend the cells to form a single cell suspension. Cells were centrifuged at 320 × g for 5 min at room temperature, the supernatant was removed, and the cell pellet was resuspended in Opti-MEM (3 mL, washing step was repeated twice). After a final resuspension in 5 mL Opti-MEM, cells were counted and resuspended in Opti-MEM at 200000 cells per mL.

[0287] Cereblon target binding was monitored by bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) in transfected HEK-293T cells using the NanoBRET TE Intracellular E3 Ligase Assay (Promega). Briefly, 384-well plates (white opaque plates, Corning 3574, low binding surface) were seeded with transfected HEK-293T cells (38 μL per well). 2 μL of 10 μM CRBN tracer (diluted 1:5 in tracer dilution buffer) was added to each well. Plates were centrifuged at 320×g for 1 minute at room temperature. Test compounds were added in an 11-point dilution series (typically 10 μM to 100 pM) using a TECAN D300e digital dispenser. Plates were shaken for 2 minutes on a microplate shaker to mix the compounds. Plates were centrifuged at 320×g for 1 minute at room temperature and subsequently incubated at 37°C for 2 hours.

[0288] After incubation, plates were allowed to cool to room temperature for 15 minutes. 20 μL of 3X Complete Nano BRET™ Nano-Glo™ Substrate + Inhibitor Solution (Promega, 1:166 substrate and 1:500 dilution of extracellular NanoLuc™ inhibitor in Opti-MEM) was added to each well. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 3 minutes with shaking, covered in foil. Plates were read on a CLARIOstar microplate reader (BMG LabTech) measuring at 450 nm (donor emission) and 610 nm (acceptor emission). IC 50 Values ​​were determined by regression to a best-fit four-parameter logistic curve using GraphPad Prism.

[0289] IKZF2 degradation assay Generation of stable cell lines Polycistronic plasmids were constructed for mammalian expression of fluorescent reporter fusions of human transcription factors IKZF1 (Ikaros), IKZF2 (Helios), and IKZF3 (Aiolos). Each protein sequence had a C-terminus spliced ​​with three repeated GGGGS linkers followed by mNeonGreen, P2A sequences, and mScarlet. The DNA sequences of the open reading frames are as follows:

[0290] IKZF1-mNeonGreen-P2A-mScarlet coding sequence:

[0291] IKZF2-mNeonGreen-P2A-mScarlet coding sequence:

[0292] IKZF3-mNeonGreen-P2A-mScarlet coding sequence:

[0293] IKZF1, IKZF2, and IKZF3 constructs were cloned into the UCOE hygromycin expression vector (Millipore Sigma). Reporter constructs were transfected into adherent HEK293T cells using cationic lipid reagents, and stable integrants were selected by treatment with 200 μg / mL hygromycin B. Clonal populations were obtained from the stable integrant populations by either limiting dilution or fluorescence-activated cell sorting.

[0294] Stable clonal cell lines were maintained under constant 200 μg / mL hygromycin B selection during passaging for use in degradation assays. Flow analysis on a BD Accuri C6 showed that the HEK293T CMV-IKZF1 clone 7 cell line had a mean fluorescein isothiocyanate mean fluorescence intensity (FITC MFI) of 230,000 and a phycoerythrin mean fluorescence intensity (PE MFI) of 33,000. HEK293T EF1a-IKZF2 clone 9 had a mean FITC MFI of 150,000 and a PE MFI of 26,000. HEK293T EF1a-IKZF3 clone 9 had a mean FITC MFI of 400,000 and a PE MFI of 60,000. The fluorescence intensity of IKZF1 / 2 / 3-mNeonGreen (FITC channel) and mScarlet (PE channel) reporters was routinely analyzed by flow cytometry to confirm consistent expression levels between experiments.

[0295] IKZF1 / 2 / 3 reporter degradation assay IKZF1 / IKZF2 / IKZF3 degradation assays were performed by harvesting HEK293T reporter cell lines and resuspending the cells in media formulated to reduce background fluorescence (FluoroBrite, Thermo Fisher). Each cell line was seeded into black-walled 384-well optical grade assay tissue culture plates at a density of 4000 cells per well. Cells were incubated overnight at 37° C. to allow attachment to the assay plates. Compound dilutions were prepared from 10 mM compound stocks in DMSO. Assay plates were treated with appropriate concentrations of compounds by dispensing DMSO dilutions into quadruplicate wells up to a final DMSO of 0.5%.

[0296] After 24 hours of incubation with compounds, the assay plates were imaged in an ImageXpress Pico microscopy system (cells were kept at 37°C during imaging) to obtain fluorescence readings. The assay plates were imaged in the FITC and tetramethylrhodamine (TRITC) channels to obtain mNeonGreen fluorescence intensity (reporter degradation data) and mScarlet fluorescence intensity (for cell segmentation). The 293T-IKZF1 and 293T-IKZF3 reporter cell lines were imaged with a 500 millisecond (ms) exposure for both the FITC and TRITC channels, whereas the 293T-IKZF2 reporter cell line was imaged with a 1000ms exposure for FITC and a 1250ms exposure for TRITC. The resulting data was analyzed using a two-channel cell scoring analysis with a "percent positive" reading using Cell Reporter Xpress software. For "nuclei" segmentation the TRITC channel was chosen with a threshold of 20, whereas for "marker 1" segmentation the FITC channel was chosen with a threshold of 100 for the IKZF1 and IKZF3 reporter lines. The IKZF2 reporter line had a threshold of 120 set for the FITC channel and a threshold of 20 for TRITC. For all cell lines the minimum segmentation width was set at 6 micrometers and the maximum segmentation width at 15 micrometers. DC 50 was calculated by regression to a best-fit four-parameter logistic curve using GraphPad Prism.

[0301] GSPT1 degradation assay Generation of stable cell lines CRISPR-Cas12a technology was used to generate HEK293_hGSPT1_HiBiT tagged cells. Briefly, approximately 400000 HEK293 cells were transiently co-transfected with pre-complexed ribonucleoprotein (RNP) consisting of 80 pmol crRNA (IDT), 62 pmol Cas12a protein (IDT), 3 μg ssODN donor (IDT, AltR™ modified), 78 pmol electroporation enhancer (IDT), and 200 ng pMaxGFP (Lonza). Transfection was performed via nucleofection (Lonza, 4D-Nucleofector X-unit) using solution P3 and program CM-130 in a (20 μL) cuvette. Five days after nucleofection, cells were single-cell sorted for GFP+ (transfected) cells by FACs in 96-well plates and clonally selected. Clones were screened and verified for the desired modifications via targeted deep sequencing using gene-specific primers with partial Illumina adapter overhangs as described above. Briefly, clonal cell pellets were harvested, lysed, and used to generate gene-specific amplicons with partial Illumina adapters in a first round of PCR. Amplicons were indexed in a second round of PCR and pooled with other targeted amplicons for other loci to provide sequence diversity. Additionally, samples were run on a Miseq sequencer system (Illumina) to generate paired 2x250bp reads after adding 10% PhiX sequencing control V3 (Illumina) to the pooled amplicon library. Samples were demultiplexed using index sequences, fastq files were generated, and NGS analysis was performed using CRIS.py. Final clones were confirmed using the PowerPlex Fusion System (Promega) and tested negative for mycoplasma by MycoAlert™ Plus Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza).

[0303] GSPT1 reporter degradation assay GSPT1 degradation assays were performed by harvesting HEK293T reporter cell lines and resuspending the cells in media formulated to reduce background fluorescence (FluoroBrite, Thermo Fisher). Each cell line was seeded at a density of 8000 cells per well into white opaque 384-well optical grade assay tissue culture plates (Greiner 781080-20). Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C to allow attachment to the assay plate. Compound dilutions were prepared from 10 mM compound stocks in DMSO. Test compounds were added in a 10-point dilution series (typically 10 μM to 100 pM) with a final DMSO cap of 0.5% using a TECAN D300e digital dispenser. Plates were centrifuged at 320×g for 2 minutes at room temperature and subsequently incubated at 37°C.

[0304] After 24 hours of incubation with compounds, plates were allowed to cool to room temperature for 10 minutes. 30 μL of HiBiT lysis buffer + 1:50 HiBiT substrate solution was added to each well. Plates were centrifuged at 320×g for 2 minutes at room temperature, then covered with foil and incubated at room temperature with shaking for 10 minutes. Plates were read on a CLARIOstar microplate reader (BMG LabTech) measuring at 450 nm (donor emission) and 610 nm or 630 nm (acceptor emission). DC 50 Values ​​were determined by regression to a best-fit four-parameter logistic curve using GraphPad Prism.

[0305] Table 5 shows the results from the above assays for certain compounds described herein, thus demonstrating selectivity.

[0306] [Table 13]

[0307] Certain compounds of formula I described herein are believed to selectively modulate IKZF proteins relative to GSPT1 when compared to compounds having oxygen-linked phenyls described in the art. Additionally, certain compounds of formula I described herein are believed to selectively modulate IKZF2 relative to GSPT1.

[0308] This data is further supported by immunoblot analysis described below.

[0309] Immunoblot analysis (KG-1 cells) Cells were seeded in 6-well plates (5 × 10 per well). 5After overnight incubation, cells were treated with the indicated concentrations for 24 hours. Harvested cells were spun down, washed with PBS, and lysed with RIPA lysis and extraction buffer (Thermo Scientific Cat. No. 89900) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Protein quantification was performed using the Pierce Rapid Gold BCA Protein Assay Kit (Cat. No. A53225) using a microplate procedure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cell lysates were analyzed using the Simple Western System from WES / Jess according to the manufacturer's instructions. Primary antibodies used were anti-IKZF2 (Abcam, ab129434, 1:25), anti-GSPT1 (Abcam, ab49878).

[0310] Compounds of the present disclosure tested in the above assay induced significant degradation of IKZF2 in KG-1 cells after 24 hours of treatment, but had no detectable activity against GSPT1, a result consistent with the degradation data in IKZF2 GFP reporter cells and GSPT1 HiBiT-tagged cells.
