[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 266,068, filed December 28, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT This invention was made with Government support under award CA272945 from the National Institutes of Health. The Government has certain rights in this invention. [Background technology]
[0003] The switch / sucrose nonfermenting (SWI / SNF) complex is a multisubunit complex that regulates chromatin structure through the activity of two mutually exclusive helicase / ATPase catalytic subunits, SWI / SNF-related matrix-binding actin-dependent chromatin regulator subfamily A member 2 (SMARCA2) and SWI / SNF-related matrix-binding actin-dependent chromatin regulator subfamily A member 4 (SMARCA4). The core and regulatory subunits of SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 couple ATP hydrolysis to destabilization of histone-DNA contacts, thereby providing access points for transcription factors to cognate DNA elements that promote gene activation and repression.
[0004] SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 are highly homologous and are thought to have overlapping functions, but they have been reported to have different roles in cancer. For example, SMARCA4 is frequently mutated in primary tumors, whereas SMARCA2 inactivation is rare in tumor development. In fact, many types of cancer have been shown to be SMARCA4-associated, including cancers with SMARCA4 mutations or SMARCA4 deletions, such as non-small cell lung cancer.
[0005] SMARCA2 has been demonstrated to be a key gene in SMARCA4-deficient or SMARCA4-mutated cancer cells, as SMARCA4-deficient or SMARCA4-mutated cells are solely dependent on SMARCA2 activity. In these cells, SMARCA2 incorporation into the complex is increased to compensate for SMARCA4 deficiency. Therefore, SMARCA2 can be targeted in SMARCA4-deficient / mutated cancers. However, identifying selective inhibitors of SMARCA2 has been a challenge, as SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 have very similar bromodomains and ATPase domains. Therefore, selective inhibitors of SMARCA2 are needed. Summary of the Invention

For example, E3 ubiquitin ligase proteins, alone or in combination with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, attach ubiquitin to lysines on target proteins, thereby targeting the specific protein substrate for degradation by the proteasome. Thus, E3 ubiquitin ligases, alone or in complex with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, are responsible for transferring ubiquitin to target proteins. In general, ubiquitin ligases are involved in polyubiquitination, whereby a second ubiquitin is attached to the first ubiquitin, and a third ubiquitin is attached to the second ubiquitin. Polyubiquitination marks proteins for degradation by the proteasome. However, some ubiquitination events are restricted to monoubiquitination, in which only one ubiquitin is added to a substrate molecule by a ubiquitin ligase. Monoubiquitinated proteins are not targeted for proteasomal degradation and can change their location or function in the cell, for example by binding to other proteins that contain domains that can bind ubiquitin.
[0077] As used herein, the term "ubiquitin ligase binding moiety" or "moiety capable of binding to ubiquitin ligase" refers to any molecular structure capable of binding to a ubiquitin ligase enzyme, including, but not limited to, thalidomide, pomalidomide, lenalidomide, CC-885, CC-122, CC-220, bBETI.

[0260] Table 1 identifies the compounds disclosed in Examples 1-8. [Table 1-1] [Table 1-2] [Table 1-3] [Table 1-4] [Table 1-5] [Table 1-6] [Table 1-7]
[0261] Example 9 - SMARCA2 Degradation in Wild-Type and Mutant SMARCA4 Cell Lines Using SMARCA2 PROTAC Compound 101 Cell lines (H1975, H1792, H2122, and H441) with wild-type SMARCA4 were treated with DMSO or 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, or 10 μM ACBI1 (a degrader of SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and polybromo-associated BAF complex PBRM1) or compound 101, and the expression levels of SMARCA2 (Figure 2A) and SMARCA4 (Figure 2B) were detected by Western blot. Both ACBI1 and compound 101 degraded SMARCA2 and SMARCA4 when used at increasing concentrations. However, compound 101 selectively degraded SMARCA2 over SMARCA4 by more than 100-fold over ACBI1 (Tables 2 and 3 and Figures 2A and 2B). Table 2 shows the results for SMARCA2, and Table 3 shows the results for SMARCA4. [Table 2] [Table 3]
[0262] The data show that both compounds have D max (maximal degradation observed as a percentage of DMSO control) (Figure 2A, Table 2). On the other hand, only ACBI1 degraded SMARCA4 at 97–99% D max Compound 101 D max is either not measurable or has a D of 38% to 50%. max Compound 101 degraded SMARCA4 at 100 nm (Figure 2B, Table 3), confirming the selectivity of compound 101 for SMARCA2. Furthermore, in wild-type SMARCA4 cells, compound 101 showed DC 50 SMARCA4-specific DCs were significantly higher than those of the control group (Table 2). 50 was greater than 10 μM (Table 3).
[0263] Example 10 - SMARCA2 PROTAC compound 101 specifically reduces cell proliferation in SMARCA4 mutant cell lines Cell lines with wild-type SMARCA4 (HCC44, H2122, H1792, and H1975) and cell lines with mutant SMARCA4 (H1693, HCC515, H322, and H1299) were seeded at appropriate dilutions and allowed to form colonies for approximately 1-3 weeks. Cells were treated with ACBI1 or compound 101 at concentrations of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 μM. Colonies were fixed with glutaraldehyde (6% v / v), stained with crystal violet (0.5% w / v), and the percent area of colonies was determined (Figures 3A and 3B). Inhibition of colony growth was more pronounced in cell lines with wild-type SMARCA4 after treatment with ACBI1 than with compound 101 (Figure 3A). In mutant SMARCA4 cell lines, more pronounced colony growth inhibition was observed with both ACBI1 and compound 101 (Figure 3B). ACBI1 inhibited wild-type and mutant SMARCA4 cells (Figure 3C), whereas compound 101 selectively inhibited SMARCA4 mutant cells (Figure 3D).
[0264] Cell lines with wild-type SMARCA4 (HCC44, H2122, H1792, H1975, H441, H2228, HCC827, HCC2279, and HOP62) and mutant SMARCA4 (H1693, HCC515, H322, H1299, A549, HCC366, H2023, H2126, H1793, H838, and H2935) were analyzed using the D max , D.C. 50 , and I.C. 50 (the concentration that inhibits 50% of cell proliferation) was further tested.
[0265] Compound 101 showed a D of 82%-99% (Table 4) in wild-type SMARCA4 cells and 81%-99% (Table 5) in mutant SMARCA4 cells. max Furthermore, the DC of compound 101 on SMARCA2 degradation was 50was 32 nM to 292 nM in wild-type SMARCA4 cells (Table 4) and 8 nM to 113 nM in mutant SMARCA4 cells (Table 4).
[0266] Compound 101 showed a D of 38%–79% in wild-type SMARCA4 cells. max The DC of compound 101 degraded SMARCA4 (Table 4). 50 ranged from 560 nM to greater than 10 μM in these cells (Table 4).
[0267] IC of compound 101 in wild-type SMARCA4 cells 50 The IC of compound 101 in mutant SMARCA4 cells was 0.97 μM to 10 μM (Table 4). 50 ranged from 0.93 nM to greater than 10 μM (Table 5). These data confirmed that compound 101 selectively inhibited cell proliferation in mutant SMARCA4 cell lines. [Table 4] [Table 5]
[0268] Example 11 -SMARCA2 PROTAC Compound 103 Cell lines with wild-type SMARCA4 (H1792) and mutant SMARCA4 (H1299) were treated with DMSO or 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, or 10 μM of compound 103 for 72 or 96 hours and analyzed by Western blot for the expression of SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and PBRM1 (Figures 4A, 4B, and 4C). Compound 103 efficiently degraded SMARCA2 (Figure 4A) and reduced the expression of SMARCA4 (Figure 4B) in H1792 cells, but did not significantly affect the expression of PBRM1 (Figure 4C). Compared with compound 101, compound 103 significantly inhibited SMARCA2 expression at 100 nM in both H1792 and H1299 cells (Figure 4A). At this concentration, compound 101 achieved a maximum of 50% inhibition in SMARCA4 mutant cells and approximately less than 10% inhibition in wild-type SMARCA4 cells (see Figure 3D).
[0269] Example 12 - SMARCA2 PROTAC Compound 102 Cell lines with wild-type SMARCA4 (H1792) and mutant SMARCA4 (H1299) were treated with DMSO or 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, or 10 μM of compound 102 for 72 or 96 h and analyzed by Western blot for the expression of SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and PBRM1 (Figures 5A, 5B, and 5C). Compound 102 efficiently degraded SMARCA2 (Figure 5A) and reduced the expression of SMARCA4 (Figure 5B), but did not significantly affect the expression of PBRM1 (Figure 5C). Compared with compound 101, compound 102 significantly inhibited SMARCA2 expression at 100 nM in both H1792 and H1299 cells (Figure 5A). At this concentration, compound 101 achieved a maximum of 50% inhibition in SMARCA4 mutant cells and approximately less than 10% inhibition in wild-type SMARCA4 cells (see Figure 3D).
[0270] Example 13 - SMARCA2 PROTAC Compounds 104, 105, 106, 107, and 108 A cell line (H1975) with wild-type SMARCA4 was treated with DMSO or 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, or 10 μM of compounds 104, 105, 106, 107, or 108 and analyzed by Western blot for the expression of SMARCA2, SMARCA4, and PBRM1 (Figures 6A and 6B). Compounds 104-108 efficiently degraded SMARCA2, but not SMARCA4 or PBRM1 (Figures 6A and B).
[0271] Example 14 - Immunohistochemistry to visualize SMARCA2 degradation in vivo NCR nude mice were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or SMARCA2 degradation-inducing compound 101 (200 mg / kg) once a day for 4 consecutive days. Tumor tissues were harvested 24 hours after the last dose and formalin-fixed for 24 hours, paraffin-embedded, sectioned, and stained according to standard procedures. Briefly, endogenous peroxidase was inactivated by 3% hydrogen peroxide. Nonspecific signals were blocked using 3% BSA, 10% goat serum in 0.1% Triton X-100. After antigen retrieval with citrate buffer, slides were stained overnight at 4°C using SMARCA2 antibody (Cell Signaling, D9E8B1:2000). After overnight incubation, slides were washed and incubated with secondary antibody (HRP-polymer, Biocare Medical) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Slides were washed three times and stained with DAB substrate (ThermoFisher Scientific). Slides were then counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with mounting medium. Slides were imaged with a Vectra microscope, and the signal intensity and percentage of SMARCA2 positive cells were quantified using Vectra 3.0.7 software.
[0272] A significant decrease in SMARCA2 was observed in NCR nude mice treated with compound 101 compared to vehicle controls (Figure 7A), with the percentage of SMARCA2-positive cells decreasing by more than 50% after compound 101 treatment (Figure 7B).
[0273] Example 15 - In vivo antitumor efficacy study in female NCR nude mice using HCC515 lung cancer xenograft model Approximately 1 × 10 7 HCC515 cells were injected into each mouse. Tumors were monitored by visual inspection and palpation every two weeks. When tumors reached 100 mm 3 When the average volume of 1000 mg / kg of SMARCA2 degradation inducer was reached, the mice were randomly assigned to a control group and a SMARCA2 degradation inducer group. The treatment cohorts were as follows: vehicle was 15% Solutol in water with 12.5 mg / kg of ritonavir added as a metabolic stabilizer. In the vehicle group, 10 animals were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle. In the treatment group, 10 animals were intraperitoneally injected with 12.5 mg / kg of SMARCA2 degradation inducer compound 101 in 15% Solutol in water with 12.5 mg / kg of ritonavir added as a metabolic stabilizer once a day.
[0274] Tumor diameter and volume were determined based on caliper measurements of tumor length and height using the formula: tumor volume = (longest diameter x shortest diameter). 2 Tumor volumes and body weights were measured three times a week.
[0275] A significant reduction in tumor volume was observed in mice treated with compound 101 versus vehicle control mice, demonstrating the efficacy of SMARCA2 degrader in blocking tumor growth in vivo (Figure 8).
