AI Technical Summary
Current drug discovery efforts have been largely unsuccessful in targeting the 'on' form of Ras proteins, which are implicated in approximately 30% of human cancers, due to their refractory nature to small-molecule modulation.
Development of Ras inhibitors that form a high-affinity tri-complex with the Ras protein and cyclophilin A, creating a novel binding pocket to sterically occlude the interaction site required for oncogenic signaling, thereby inhibiting Ras(ON).
The inhibitors effectively target Ras(ON), potentially providing therapeutic options for cancers driven by various Ras mutations by disrupting oncogenic signaling pathways.

[0001] Cross - reference to Related Applications This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Application No. 63 / 351,146, filed on June 10, 2022, and U.S. Application No. 63 / 455,649, filed on March 30, 2023, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
Background Art
[0002] The overwhelming majority of small - molecule drugs act by binding to functionally important pockets on target proteins, thereby controlling the activity of the protein. For example, cholesterol - lowering agents known as statins bind to the enzyme active site of HMG - CoA reductase, thereby preventing the enzyme from engaging its substrate. The fact that many such drug / target interaction pairs are known may mislead some people into believing that, given a reasonable amount of time, effort, and resources, small - molecule modulators can be discovered for most, if not all, proteins. This is far from the truth. Current estimates suggest that only about 10% of all human proteins are targetable by small molecules (Non - Patent Document 1). The other 90% are currently considered refractory or intractable to the above - described small - molecule drug discovery. Such targets are generally referred to as "undruggable." These undruggable targets include a vast and largely untapped reservoir of medically important human proteins. Therefore, there is much interest in discovering new molecular modalities capable of controlling the functions of such undruggable targets.
[0003] Ras proteins (K-Ras, H-Ras, and N-Ras) play an essential role in various human cancers and, therefore, have been well established in the literature as suitable targets for anticancer therapy. In fact, mutations in Ras proteins account for approximately 30% of all human cancers in the United States, and many of these are lethal. Dysregulation of Ras proteins due to mutant activation, overexpression, or upstream activation is common in human tumors, and mutant activation of Ras is frequently found in human cancers. For example, mutant activation of codon 12 in the Ras protein inhibits both the GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-dependent and intrinsic hydrolysis rates of GTP, significantly skewing the population of Ras mutant proteins into the "on" (GTP-bound) state (Ras(ON)) and functioning by causing oncogenic MAPK signaling. In particular, Ras exhibits picomolar affinity for GTP and enables Ras to be activated even in the presence of low concentrations of this nucleotide. Mutations at codon 13 of Ras (e.g., G13D) and at codon 61 (e.g., Q61K) are also causative of oncogenic activity in some cancers.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] In recent decades, despite extensive drug discovery efforts against Ras, drugs that directly target the "on" form of Ras have not yet been approved. Further efforts are needed to identify additional pharmaceuticals for cancers driven by various Ras mutations.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0006] Ras inhibitors are provided herein. These Ras inhibitors target Ras(ON), i.e., selectively bind to Ras(ON) or inhibit Ras(ON) (e.g., selective for the inactive form of Ras bound to GDP). The approach described herein requires the formation of a high-affinity three-component complex between two intracellular proteins that do not interact under normal physiological conditions with the synthetic ligand: the target protein of interest (e.g., Ras), and a cytosolic chaperone (presenter protein) that is widely expressed intracellularly (e.g., cyclophilin A). More specifically, in some embodiments, the inhibitors of Ras described herein drive the formation of a high-affinity tri-complex between the Ras protein and cyclophilin A (CYPA), a widely expressed cytosolic chaperone, thereby inducing a novel binding pocket in Ras. Without being bound by theory, one way in which the compounds of the invention and the complexes they form affect the inhibitory effect in Ras is thought by the inventors to be due to steric occlusion of the interaction site between Ras, which is required to propagate oncogenic signals, and downstream effector molecules such as RAF and PI3K.

[0031] Definitions and Chemical Terms In this application, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise: (i) the term "a" means "one or more"; (ii) the term "or" is used to mean "and / or" except when explicitly referring only to alternatives or when the alternatives are mutually exclusive, although both a definition that refers only to alternatives and "and / or" are supported in this disclosure; (iii) the terms "comprising" and "including" are understood to include the recited components or steps, whether presented by themselves or in conjunction with one or more additional components or steps; and (iv) when ranges are indicated, the endpoints are included.
[0032] As used herein, the term "about" is used to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of error for the device or method used to determine the value. In certain embodiments, the term "about" refers to a range of values within 25%, 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less of the recited value in either direction (greater than or less than), unless otherwise stated or otherwise apparent from the context (e.g., except when such a number exceeds 100% of the possible value).
[0033] As used herein, the term "adjacent" in the context of describing adjacent atoms refers to divalent atoms directly bonded by a covalent bond. As used herein, the term "compound of the invention" and like terms refer to compounds of formula Ia or formula Ib and their sub-formulas, as well as the compounds of Table 1, whether or not explicitly recited, and in addition, their salts (e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable salts), solvates, hydrates, stereoisomers (including atropisomers), and tautomers, which are Ras inhibitors described herein.
[0034] The term "wild-type" refers to an entity having a "normal" state or structure or activity as seen in nature (in contrast to mutants, diseases, modified things, etc.). Those skilled in the art will understand that wild-type genes and polypeptides often exist in multiple different forms (e.g., alleles).
[0035] Those skilled in the art will understand that the specific compounds described herein can exist in one or more different isomeric (e.g., stereoisomeric, geometric isomeric, atropisomeric, tautomeric) forms, or in isotopic (e.g., one or more atoms such as hydrogen substituted with deuterium, where one or more atoms are substituted with different isotopes of the atom) forms. Unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, the structures described can be understood to represent any such isomeric or isotopic forms, individually or in combination.
[0036] The compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). Unless otherwise indicated, all stereoisomers such as enantiomers and diastereomers are contemplated. Compounds of the disclosure containing an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom can be isolated in optically active form or in racemic form. Methods for preparing optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art and include, for example, resolution of racemic mixtures or stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers such as olefins, C=N double bonds, etc. can also exist in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. The Cis and trans geometric isomers in the compounds of the present disclosure are described and can be isolated as a mixture of isomers or in the form of separated isomers.
[0037] In some embodiments, one or more of the compounds described herein can exist in different tautomeric forms. As will be apparent from the context, references to such compounds include all such tautomeric forms unless expressly excluded. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms are obtained by the exchange of a single bond by an adjacent double bond and simultaneously the movement of a proton. In certain embodiments, tautomeric forms can be prototropic tautomers, which are protonation states of isomers having the same empirical formula and total charge as the reference form. Examples of moieties having prototropic tautomeric forms are keto-enol pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and cyclic forms such as 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H-, and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole, in which a proton can occupy two or more positions of the heterocyclic system. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms are in equilibrium or can be stereochemically fixed to one form by appropriate substitution. In certain embodiments, tautomeric forms result from acetal interconversion.
[0038] Unless otherwise specified, structures shown in this specification also mean that they include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotope-enriched atoms. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of the present invention include 2 H, 3 H, 11 C, 13 C, 14 C, 13 N, 15 N, 15 O, 17 O, 18 O, 32 P, 33 P, 35 S, 18 F, 36 Cl, 123 I, and 125 I, etc., including isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine. Isotope-labeled compounds (e.g., compounds labeled with 3 H and 14 C) may be useful in compound or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritium labeling (i.e., 3 H), and carbon-14 (i.e., 14 C) isotopes may be useful due to the ease of preparation and detectability. Furthermore, substitution with heavier isotopes, such as deuterium (i.e., 2 H), etc., can result in higher metabolic stability and, as a result, certain therapeutic advantages can be obtained (e.g., longer in vivo half-life or lower required dosage). In some embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by 2 H or 3 H, or one or more carbon atoms are replaced by 13 C- or 14 C-enriched carbon. 15 O, 13 N, 11 C, and 18Positron-emitting isotopes such as F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy. The preparation of isotope-labeled compounds is known to those skilled in the art. For example, isotope-labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures similar to those disclosed for the compounds of the invention described herein, by replacing unlabeled reagents with labeled reagents.
[0039] As is known in the prior art, many chemical components can be employed in a variety of different solid forms, such as amorphous or crystalline forms (e.g., polymorphs, hydrates, solvates). In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention can be utilized in any such form, including any solid form. In some embodiments, the compounds described or illustrated herein can be provided or utilized in the form of hydrates or solvates.
[0040] Throughout various places in this specification, the substituents of the disclosed compounds are disclosed in groups or ranges. It is specifically intended that this disclosure includes each and every individual partial combination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term "C1-C6 alkyl" is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl. Further, when a compound contains multiple positions where substituents are disclosed in groups or ranges, unless otherwise specified, this disclosure is intended to include individual compounds and groups of compounds (e.g., genera and subgenera) that include each and every individual partial combination of the individual members at each position.
[0041] The term "X optionally substituted" (e.g., "alkyl optionally substituted") is intended to be equivalent to "X, where X is optionally substituted" (e.g., "alkyl, where the alkyl is optionally substituted"). It is not intended to mean that the feature "X" (e.g., alkyl) itself is optional. As described herein, a particular compound of interest may contain one or more "optionally substituted" moieties. Generally, the term "substituted", whether or not preceded by the term "optionally", means that one or more hydrogens of the designated moiety are replaced by a suitable substituent, e.g., any of the substituents or groups described herein. Unless otherwise indicated, an "optionally substituted" group may have suitable substituents at each substitutable position of the group, and when two or more positions of any given structure may be substituted with two or more substituents selected from a particular group, the substituents may be the same or different at all positions. For example, in the term "C1-C6 alkyl-C2-C9 heteroaryl optionally substituted", the alkyl moiety, the heteroaryl moiety, or both may be optionally substituted.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0077] Compound Ras inhibitors are provided herein. These Ras inhibitors target Ras(ON), i.e., selectively bind to Ras(ON) or inhibit Ras(ON) (e.g., are selective for Ras in the inactive state with GDP bound). As used herein, the term "RAS(ON) inhibitor" refers to an inhibitor that targets, i.e., selectively binds to or selectively inhibits, active-state RAS with GTP bound (e.g., is more selective than inactive-state RAS with GDP bound). Inhibition of active-state RAS with GTP bound includes, for example, inhibition of oncogenic signaling from active-state RAS with GTP bound. In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor is an inhibitor that selectively binds to and selectively inhibits active-state RAS with GTP bound. In certain embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor can also bind to or inhibit inactive-state RAS with GDP bound (e.g., with lower affinity or inhibition constant than active-state RAS with GTP bound). In some embodiments, the RAS(ON) inhibitor has a molecular weight of 800 - 1100 Da (including both ends). Thus, for example, the term "KRAS(ON) inhibitor" refers to any inhibitor that binds to KRAS at its GDP-bound "on" position. A "KRAS G12C (ON) inhibitor" is a KRAS inhibitor that selectively binds to or targets the G12C variant of KRAS. Non-limiting examples of RAS(ON) inhibitors (some of which are KRAS G12C (ON) inhibitors) are provided in WO2021091982, WO2021091967, WO2021091956, and WO2020132597.
[0078] As used herein, the term "RAS(OFF) inhibitor" refers to an inhibitor that targets, i.e., selectively binds to, or selectively inhibits, the inactive state of RAS bound to GDP, i.e., is more selective than the active state of RAS bound to GTP. Inhibition of the inactive state of RAS bound to GDP includes, for example, inhibiting the adaptation of RAS to its active conformation by isolating the inactive state by inhibiting the exchange of GDP for GTP. In certain embodiments, the RAS(OFF) inhibitor can also bind to, or inhibit, the active state of RAS bound to GTP (e.g., with a lower affinity or inhibition constant than the inactive state of RAS bound to GDP). In some embodiments, the RAS(OFF) inhibitor has a molecular weight of less than 700 Da. In some embodiments, the RAS(OFF) inhibitor has a molecular weight of less than 700 Da. Thus, for example, the term "KRAS(OFF) inhibitor" refers to any inhibitor that binds to KRAS at its GDP-bound "off" position. "KRAS G12C (OFF) inhibitor" is a KRAS inhibitor that selectively binds to or targets the G12C variant of KRAS. KRAS G12C (OFF) inhibitors are known in the art and non-limiting examples include adagrasib and sotorasib. Additional KRAS(OFF) inhibitors are provided herein.
[0079] The term "inhibitor" means a compound or agent (e.g., a peptide, an antibody) that prevents a biomolecule (e.g., a protein) from completing or initiating a reaction. An inhibitor can inhibit a reaction by competitive, uncompetitive, or non-competitive means.
[0080] The approaches described herein require the formation of a high-affinity three-component complex between two intracellular proteins that do not interact under normal physiological conditions with a synthetic ligand: a target protein of interest (e.g., Ras), and a cytosolic chaperone (presenter protein) that is widely expressed intracellularly (e.g., cyclophilin A). More specifically, in some embodiments, the inhibitors of Ras described herein drive the formation of a high-affinity tri-complex between the Ras protein and cyclophilin A (CYPA), a widely expressed cytosolic chaperone, thereby inducing a new binding pocket in Ras. Without being bound by theory, one way in which the compounds of the invention and the complexes they form affect the inhibitory effect on Ras is thought by the inventors to be due to steric occlusion of the interaction site between Ras, which is required to propagate oncogenic signals, and downstream effector molecules such as RAF.
[0081] Without being bound by theory, the inventors hypothesize that the non-covalent interactions of the compounds of the invention with Ras and chaperone proteins (e.g., cyclophilin A) may contribute to the inhibition of Ras activity. For example, van der Waals interactions, hydrophobic interactions, hydrophilic interactions, and hydrogen bond interactions, and combinations thereof, may contribute to the ability of the compounds of the invention to form complexes and act as Ras inhibitors. Accordingly, various Ras proteins (e.g., wild-type Ras or Ras amp , or K-Ras, N-Ras, H-Ras, and their mutants at positions 12, 13, and 61, such as G12C, G12D, G12V, G12S, G13C, G13D, and Q61L, and others described herein, and combinations of Ras proteins) may be inhibited by the compounds of the invention.
[0082] Accordingly, compounds having the structure of formula Ia, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are provided herein:

[0161] The compounds of the present invention can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as those disclosed in WO2021 / 091956 and WO2022 / 060836, in combination with known synthetic organic chemistry techniques, the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. For example, the compounds of the present invention can be synthesized using the methods shown in the following schemes, along with synthetic methods known in the field of synthetic organic chemistry or variations thereof that would be understood by those skilled in the art. These methods include, but are not limited to, the methods described in the following schemes.
[0162] Scheme 1. General synthesis of macrocyclic esters
[0163]
Chemical formula
[0164] The general synthesis of the macrocyclic ester is outlined in Scheme 1. It can be prepared in four steps, starting from a suitably substituted indolyl boronic ester (1), protected 3-(5-bromo-2-iodo-1H-indol-3-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol, and a suitably substituted boronic acid, involving palladium-mediated coupling, alkylation, deprotection, and palladium-mediated borylation reactions.
[0165] (S)-2-Amino-3-(4-bromothiazol-2-yl)propanoic acid (2) can be coupled with methyl (S)-hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylate to prepare methyl-amino-3-(4-bromothiazol-2-yl)propanoyl)hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylate (3).
[0166] Coupling of methyl-amino-3-(4-bromothiazol-2-yl)propanoyl)hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylate (3) and a suitably substituted indolyl boronic ester (1) in the presence of a Pd catalyst, followed by hydrolysis and macrolactonization steps, gives a suitably protected macrocyclic intermediate (5), from which the final macrocyclic ester can be prepared. Deprotection and coupling with a suitably substituted carboxylic acid (or other coupling partner) gives the macrocyclic product. Additional deprotection or functionalization steps may be required to prepare the final compound 6.
[0167] Furthermore, with respect to Scheme 1, the thiazole can be replaced with an alternative, optionally substituted 5- to 6-membered heteroarylene, or an optionally substituted 3- to 6-membered cycloalkylene, an optionally substituted 3- to 6-membered heterocycloalkylene (e.g., morpholino), or an optionally substituted 6-membered arylene (e.g., phenyl).
[0168] Scheme 2. Alternative general synthesis of the macrocyclic ester
[0169] [Chemistry]
[0170] Alternatively, the macrocycle can be prepared as described in Scheme 2. An appropriately substituted and protected indolyl boronic acid ester (7) can be coupled with (S)-2-amino-3-(4-bromothiazol-2-yl)propanoic acid in the presence of a Pd catalyst, followed by iodination, deprotection, and ester hydrolysis. After coupling with methyl (S)-hexahydropyridazine-3-carboxylate, hydrolysis and macrolactonization can give the iodo intermediate (11). Subsequent palladium-mediated borylation and coupling with an appropriately substituted iodoaryl or iodoheteroaryl intermediate in the presence of a Pd catalyst can give an appropriately protected macrocyclic intermediate. Alkylation, deprotection, and coupling with an appropriately substituted carboxylic acid (or other coupling partner) can give the macrocyclic product. Additional deprotection or functionalization steps may be required to make the final compound 6.
[0171] Furthermore, with respect to Scheme 2, the thiazole can be replaced with an alternative, optionally substituted 5- to 6-membered heteroarylene, or an optionally substituted 3- to 6-membered cycloalkylene, an optionally substituted 3- to 6-membered heterocycloalkylene (e.g., morpholino), or an optionally substituted 6-membered arylene (e.g., phenyl).

[0174] In some embodiments, the compound is present in the pharmaceutical composition in a unit dose appropriate for administration in a treatment regimen that exhibits a statistically significant probability of achieving a predetermined therapeutic effect when administered to a relevant population. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for administration in solid or liquid form, including oral administration, such as a drink (aqueous or non-aqueous solution or suspension), a tablet, such as a buccal, sublingual, and those targeted for systemic absorption, a bolus, a powder, a granule, a paste for application to the tongue; parenteral administration, such as by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, or epidural injection, such as a sterile solution or suspension, or as a sustained release formulation; topical application, such as a cream, an ointment, or a controlled release patch or spray applied to the skin, the lung, or the oral cavity; vaginal or rectal administration, such as in the form of a pessary, a cream, or a foam; sublingual administration; intraocular administration; transdermal administration; or nasal, pulmonary, and other mucosal surface administration.
[0175] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable excipient" refers to any inert component (e.g., a vehicle capable of suspending or dissolving an active compound) that is non-toxic and non-inflammatory within the subject. Typical excipients include, for example, anti-adhesion agents, antioxidants, binders, coating agents, compression aids, disintegrants, dyes (colorants), emollients, emulsifiers, fillers (diluents), film formers or coating agents, flavoring agents, fragrances, lubricants (flow promoters), lubricants, preservatives, printing inks, adsorbents, suspending or dispersing agents, sweeteners, or water of hydration.

Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. In some embodiments, the composition comprises at least two different pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
[0176] The compounds described herein can be provided or utilized in salt form, e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, whether or not explicitly described, unless explicitly stated to the contrary. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts of the compounds described herein that have no excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, etc., and are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and other animals within the scope of sound medical judgment, having a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in Berge et al., J. Pharmaceutical Sciences 66:1-19, 1977 and Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, (Eds. P.H. Stahl and C.G. Wermuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds described herein, or separately by reacting the free base moiety with a suitable organic acid.
[0177] The compounds of the present invention may have ionizable groups so that they can be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These salts can be acid addition salts including inorganic or organic acids, or the salts can be prepared from inorganic or organic bases in the case of the acidic form of the compounds of the present invention. In some embodiments, the compounds are prepared or used as pharmaceutically acceptable salts prepared as addition products of pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrobromic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid for forming acid addition salts, and potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, caffeine, various amines, etc. for forming basic salts are known in the art. Methods for preparing suitable salts are well established in the art.

[0179] As used herein, the term "subject" refers to any member of the animal kingdom. In some embodiments, "subject" refers to a human at any stage of development. In some embodiments, "subject" refers to a human patient. In some embodiments, "subject" refers to a non-human animal. In some embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., a rodent, mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, dog, cat, sheep, cow, primate, or pig). In some embodiments, subjects include, but are not limited to, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, or insects. In some embodiments, the subject may be a transgenic animal, a genetically modified animal, or a clone.
[0180] As used herein, the term "dosage form" refers to physically discrete units of a compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) for administration to a subject. Each unit contains a predetermined amount of the compound. In some embodiments, such an amount is an appropriate unit dose (or an entire fraction thereof) for administration according to a dosing regimen that has been measured to correlate with a desired or beneficial result when administered to a suitable population (i.e., using a therapeutic dosing regimen). One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the total amount of a therapeutic composition or compound administered to a particular subject is determined by one or more attending physicians and may involve administration of multiple dosage forms. As used herein, the term "dosing regimen" typically refers to a set of unit doses (typically two or more) administered individually to a subject, separated by periods of time. In some embodiments, a given therapeutic compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) has a recommended dosing regimen, which may have one or more doses. In some embodiments, the dosing regimen includes multiple doses, each separated from the others by the same length of time period. In some embodiments, the dosing regimen includes multiple doses and at least two different time periods separating the individual doses. In some embodiments, all doses within a dosing regimen are the same unit dose. In some embodiments, the different doses within a dosing regimen are different amounts. In some embodiments, the dosing regimen includes a first dose at a first dosage, followed by one or more additional doses at a second dosage different from the first dosage. In some embodiments, the dosing regimen includes a first dose at a first dosage, followed by one or more additional doses at a second dosage the same as the first dosage. In some embodiments, the dosing regimen is correlated with a desired or beneficial result when administered across a relevant population (i.e., is a therapeutic dosing regimen).
[0181] "Therapeutic regimen" refers to a dosing regimen in which administration across a relevant population correlates with a desired or beneficial therapeutic result. The term "treatment" (and, additionally, "treating" or "treatment") in its broadest sense refers to any administration of a substance (e.g., a compound of the present invention) that partially or completely remits, alleviates, reduces, inhibits a particular disease, disorder, or condition, partially or completely delays the onset of a particular disease, disorder or condition, or partially or completely reduces the occurrence of one or more symptoms, features, or causes of a particular disease, disorder or condition. In some embodiments, such treatment can be administered to a subject that does not exhibit signs of the associated disease, disorder, or condition, or that exhibits only early signs of the disease, disorder, or condition. Alternatively, or in addition, in some embodiments, treatment can be administered to a subject that exhibits one or more established signs of the associated disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment can be in a subject diagnosed as suffering from the associated disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment can be in a subject known to have one or more susceptibility factors that are statistically correlated with an increased risk of progression of the associated disease, disorder, or condition.
[0182] The term "therapeutically effective amount" means an amount sufficient to treat a disease, disorder, or condition in a population suffering from or suspected of having the disease, disorder, or condition when administered according to a therapeutic dosing regimen. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount that reduces the occurrence or severity of one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, or delays the onset of one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the term "therapeutically effective amount" does not actually require that treatment success be achieved in a particular individual. Rather, a therapeutically effective amount can be an amount that produces a particular desired pharmacological response in a significant number of subjects when administered to patients in need of such treatment. It is specifically understood that a particular subject can actually be "non-responsive" to a "therapeutically effective amount". In some embodiments, reference to a therapeutically effective amount can be reference to an amount measured in one or more specific tissues (e.g., tissues affected by the disease, disorder, or condition), or fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, serum, sweat, tears, urine). One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that in some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount can be formulated or administered as a single dose. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount can be formulated or administered in multiple doses, for example, as part of a dosing regimen.
[0183] For use in treating a subject, a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be formulated as a pharmaceutical or veterinary composition. Depending on the subject to be treated, the method of administration, and the type of treatment desired, e.g., prophylaxis, prevention, or treatment, the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated in a manner consistent with these parameters. A summary of such techniques is provided in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21 stEdition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, (2005); and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J.C. Boylan, 1988 - 1999, Marcel Dekker, New York, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0184] The compositions can each be prepared according to conventional mixing, granulating, or coating methods, and the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can contain from about 0.1% to about 99%, from about 5% to about 90%, or from about 1% to about 20% (by weight or volume) of the compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be present in a total amount of from 1 to 95% by weight of the total weight of a composition such as a pharmaceutical composition.
[0185] The compositions can be provided in dosage forms suitable for intra-articular, oral, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular), rectal, dermal, subcutaneous, topical, transdermal, sublingual, nasal, intravaginal, intravesical, intraurethral, intrathecal, epidural, transtympanic, or intraocular administration, or by injection, inhalation, or direct contact with the nasal, urogenital, reproductive, or oral mucosa. Thus, the pharmaceutical compositions can be, for example, in the form of tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, gels containing hydrogels, pastes, ointments, creams, plasters, medicated drinks, osmotic delivery devices, suppositories, enemas, injection solutions, implants, sprays, preparations suitable for iontophoresis delivery, or aerosols. The compositions can be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.
[0186] As used herein, the term "administer" refers to the administration of a composition (e.g., a compound or a formulation containing a compound as described herein) to a subject or system. Administration to an animal subject (e.g., a human) can be by any suitable route. For example, in some embodiments, administration can be intratracheal (including by tracheal instillation), intrabuccal, enteral, transcutaneous, intraarterial, intradermal, intragastric, intramedullary, intramuscular, intranasal, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intravenous, intraventricular, mucosal, nasal, oral, rectal, subcutaneous, sublingual, topical, tracheal (including by endotracheal injection), transdermal, vaginal, or intravitreal administration.
[0187] Formulations can be prepared in a manner suitable for systemic administration or for local or topical administration. Systemic formulations include those designed for injection (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection), or may be prepared for transdermal, transmucosal, or oral administration. Formulations generally contain a diluent, and in addition may optionally contain adjuvants, buffers, preservatives, and the like. The compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also be administered in liposomal compositions or as microemulsions.
[0188] For injection, the formulation may be prepared in conventional forms as a solution or suspension, or as a solid form suitable for solution or suspension in a liquid prior to injection, or as an emulsion. Suitable excipients include, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol, and the like. Such compositions can also contain an amount of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, and the like.
[0189] A variety of drug sustained release systems have also been devised. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,624,677. For systemic administration, relatively non-invasive methods such as the use of suppositories, transdermal patches, transmucosal delivery, and nasal administration can also be mentioned. Oral administration is also suitable for the compounds of the present invention, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable forms include syrups, capsules, and tablets, as understood in the art.
[0190] Each compound described herein, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, can be formulated by various methods known in the art. For example, the first agent and the second agent of the combination therapy can be formulated together or individually. Other modalities of combination therapy are described herein.
[0191] Agents formulated individually or separately can be packaged together as a kit. Non-limiting examples include kits containing, for example, two pills, a pill and a powder, a suppository and a liquid in a vial, two topical creams, etc., but are not limited thereto. The kit can include optional components useful for unit dose administration to a subject, such as a vial for reconstituting a powder form, a syringe for injection, a customized intravenous delivery system, an inhaler, etc. In addition, the unit dose kit can include instructions for use for the preparation or administration of the composition. The kit can be manufactured as a single-use unit dose for a particular subject, or as multiple uses for a particular subject (either at a fixed dose or as the efficacy of an individual compound, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, changes as the treatment progresses), or the kit can include multiple doses suitable for administration to multiple subjects ("bulk packaging"). The components of the kit can be assembled in a carton, blister pack, bottle, tube, etc.
[0192] Formulations for oral use include tablets containing the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic excipients. These excipients can be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (such as sucrose, sorbitol, sugars, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (such as cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or arginine); binders (such as sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, arginine, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, optionally substituted hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricants, glidants, and anti-adhesives (such as magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silica, hydrogenated vegetable oil, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be coloring agents, flavoring agents, plasticizers, wetting agents, buffering agents, etc.
[0193] Two or more compounds can be mixed or dispensed in tablets, capsules, or other vehicles. In one example, the first compound is contained inside the tablet and the second compound is present outside, with a substantial portion of the second compound being released before the release of the first compound.
[0194] Formulations for oral use may be provided as chewable tablets, or as hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an aqueous or oily medium (e.g., peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil). Powders, granules, and pellets can be prepared using the above-mentioned ingredients under tablets and capsules in a conventional manner, for example using a mixer, a fluidized bed apparatus, or a spray drying apparatus.
[0195] Dissolution or diffusion controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coating of tablets, capsules, pellets, or granules of the compound, or by incorporating the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, into an appropriate matrix. The controlled release coating can comprise one or more of the coating substances mentioned above, or shellac, beeswax, glyceryl wax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glyceryl palmitostearate, ethyl cellulose, acrylic resin, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methyl methacrylate, 2-(optionally substituted) hydroxy methacrylate, methacrylate hydrogel, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, or polyethylene glycol.

[0247] Examples of MCL-1 inhibitors include, but are not limited to, AMG-176, MIK665, and S63845. Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) protein is one of the major anti-apoptotic members of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) protein family. Overexpression of MCL-1 is closely associated with tumor progression and resistance to conventional chemotherapy as well as targeted therapeutics including BCL-2 inhibitors such as ABT-263.
[0248] In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is an SHP2 inhibitor. SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene and contributes to multiple cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, maintenance of the cell cycle, and migration. SHP2 has two N-terminal Src homology 2 domains (N-SH2 and C-SH2), a catalytic domain (PTP), and a C-terminal tail. The two SH2 domains control the intracellular localization and functional regulation of SHP2. This molecule exists in an inactive auto-inhibited conformation stabilized by a binding network involving residues from both the N-SH2 domain and the PTP domain. For example, stimulation by cytokines or growth factors acting through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) results in the exposure of the catalytic site and the enzymatic activation of SHP2.
[0249] SHP2 is involved in signal transduction via the RAS mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), JAK-STAT, or phosphoinositide 3-kinase-AKT pathways. Mutations in the PTPN11 gene and subsequent mutations in SHP2 have been identified in several human developmental disorders such as Noonan syndrome and Leopard syndrome, as well as in human cancers such as juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, neuroblastoma, melanoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and breast, lung, and colon cancers. Some of these mutations destabilize the autoinhibited conformation of SHP2 and promote the autoactivation or enhanced growth factor-driven activation of SHP2. Therefore, SHP2 is a very attractive target for the development of novel therapies for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. SHP2 inhibitors (e.g., RMC-4550 or SHP099) in combination with RAS pathway inhibitors (e.g., MEK inhibitors) have been shown to inhibit the growth of multiple cancer cell lines (e.g., pancreatic, lung, ovarian, and breast cancers) in vitro.

[0268] Exemplary anti-PD-1 antibodies, and methods of using them, are described by Goldberg et al., Blood 2007, 110(1):186-192; Thompson et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2007, 13(6):1757-1761; and WO06 / 121168 A1, and are additionally described elsewhere in this specification.
[0269] Examples of GITR agonists include GITR fusion proteins and anti-GITR antibodies (e.g., bivalent anti-GITR antibodies), such as the GITR fusion proteins described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,111,090, 8,586,023, WO2010 / 003118, and WO2011 / 090754, or anti-GITR antibodies such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,025,962, EP1947183, U.S. Patent No. 7,812,135, U.S. Patent No. 8,388,967, U.S. Patent No. 8,591,886, U.S. Patent No. 7,618,632, EP1866339, and WO2011 / 028683, WO2013 / 039954, WO05 / 007190, WO07 / 133822, WO05 / 055808, WO99 / 40196, WO01 / 03720, WO99 / 20758, WO06 / 083289, WO05 / 115451, and WO2011 / 051726, but are not limited thereto.
[0270] Another example of a therapeutic agent that can be used in combination with the compounds of the present invention is an anti-angiogenic agent. Anti-angiogenic agents include, without limitation, chemically synthesized compositions, antibodies, antigen-binding regions, radionuclides, as well as combinations and conjugates thereof, prepared in vitro. Anti-angiogenic agents can be agonists, antagonists, allosteric modulators, toxins, or more generally, act to inhibit or stimulate their target (e.g., activation or inhibition of a receptor or enzyme), thereby promoting cell death or arresting cell growth. In some embodiments, one or more additional therapies include an anti-angiogenic agent.
[0271] An anti-angiogenic agent can be an MMP-2 (matrix-metalloproteinase 2) inhibitor, an MMP-9 (matrix-metalloproteinase 9) inhibitor, and a COX-II (cyclooxygenase 11) inhibitor. Non-limiting examples of anti-angiogenic agents include rapamycin, temsirolimus (CCI-779), everolimus (RAD001), sorafenib, sunitinib, and bevacizumab.

Preferred MMP-2 and MMP-9 inhibitors have little or no activity to inhibit MMP-1. Those that selectively inhibit MMP-2 or AMP-9 are more preferred compared to other matrix-metalloproteinases (i.e., MAP-1, MMP-3, MMP-4, MMP-5, MMP-6, MMP-7, MMP-8, MMP-10, MMP-11, MMP-12, and MMP-13). Some specific examples of MMP inhibitors are AG-3340, RO32-3555, and RS13-0830.

In vitro and in vivo experiments: The following assays may be performed to evaluate various properties of the compounds of the present invention. Compounds A1 - A6 herein show (i) pERK (Capan-1, K-Ras G12V) IC50 of less than 8 μM, (ii) MOA (G13C) IC50 of less than 30 μM, or (iii) both (i) and (ii).
[0305] Potency assay: pERK The purpose of this assay was to measure the ability of test compounds to inhibit K-Ras intracellularly. Activated K-Ras induces an increase in phosphorylation of ERK (pERK) at threonine 202 and tyrosine 204. This procedure measures the decrease in cellular pERK in response to test compounds. The procedure described below is applicable to K-Ras G12C in NCI-H358 cells.
[0306] Note: This protocol can be performed by substituting other cell lines and can be used to evaluate the properties of inhibitors of other RAS variants, including, for example, AsPC-1 (K-Ras G12D), Capan-1 (K-Ras G12V), NCI-H1355 (K-Ras G13C), Hs766T (K-Ras Q61H), NCI-H2347, or KU-19-19 (N-Ras Q61R), or SK-MEL-30 (N-Ras Q61K).
[0307] NCI-H358 cells were grown and maintained using the medium and procedures recommended by ATCC. One day prior to compound addition, cells were seeded into 384-well cell culture plates (40 μL / well) and grown overnight in an incubator at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Test compounds were prepared in 10-fold serial dilutions in 10 mM DMSO. On the day of the assay, 40 nl of the test compounds were added to each well of the cell culture plates using an Echo 550 liquid handler (LabCyte®). The concentrations of the test compounds were tested in duplicate. After compound addition, the plates were shaken at 300 rpm for 15 seconds, centrifuged, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 4 hours. After incubation, the medium was removed and the cells were washed once with phosphate-buffered saline.
[0308] In some experiments, the pERK levels of the cells were determined using the AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra p-ERK1 / 2 assay kit (PerkinElmer). The cells were lysed in 25 μL of lysis buffer and shaken at room temperature at 600 RPM. The lysate (10 μl) was transferred to a 384-well Opti-plate (PerkinElmer), and 5 μL of acceptor mix was added. After incubation in the dark for 2 hours, 5 μl of donor mix was added, the plate was sealed, and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The signal was read on an Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer) using standard AlphaLISA settings. The analysis of the raw data was performed in any of the following ways. a) In Excel (Microsoft) and Prism (GraphPad), the signal was plotted against the logarithm of 10 of the compound concentration, and the IC 50 was determined by fitting a four-parameter sigmoid concentration-response model. Or b) Using Genedata Screener (Genedata), the normalized signal was plotted against the logarithm of 10 of the compound concentration, and the IC50 was determined by fitting a four-parameter sigmoid concentration-response model.
[0309] In other experiments, cellular pERK was determined by In-Cell Western. After compound treatment, cells were washed twice with 200 μL of tris-buffered saline (TBS) and fixed for 15 minutes with 150 μl of 4% paraformaldehyde in TBS. Fixed cells were washed four times for 5 minutes each with TBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 (TBST), then blocked for 60 minutes at room temperature with 100 μl of Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR). The primary antibody (pERK, CST-4730, Cell Signaling Technology) was diluted 1:200 in blocking buffer, 50 μl was added to each well, and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Cells were washed four times for 5 minutes each with TBST. The secondary antibody (IR-800CW rabbit, LI-COR, diluted 1:800) and DNA stain DRAQ5 (LI-COR, diluted 1:2000) were added and incubated for 1 - 2 hours at room temperature. Cells were washed four times for 5 minutes each with TBST. Plates were scanned on a Li-COR Odyssey CLx Imager. Analysis of raw data was performed with Excel (Microsoft) and Prism (GraphPad), signals were plotted against the logarithm of the compound concentration, and the IC 50 was determined by fitting a four-parameter sigmoid concentration-response model.
[0310] Disruption of the interaction between the compounds of the present invention and K-Ras with the B-Raf Ras-binding domain (BRAF RBD ), also known as the MOA assay Note - The following protocol describes the procedure for monitoring the disruption of K-Ras G12C (GMP-PNP) binding to BRAF by the compounds of the present invention. This protocol can also be performed with other Ras proteins or nucleotides substituted. RBD
[0311] The purpose of this biochemical assay was to measure the ability of a test compound to facilitate the formation of a ternary complex between a nucleotide-loaded K-Ras isoform and cyclophilin A. The resulting ternary complex disrupts the binding to the BRAF RBD construct and inhibits K-Ras signaling via the RAF effector. Data were reported as IC50 values.
[0312] In assay buffer containing 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.3), 0.002% Tween 20, 0.1% BSA, 100 mM NaCl, and 5 mM MgCl2, untagged cyclophilin A, His6-K-RasGMPPNP, and GST-BRAF RBD were combined in a 384-well assay plate at final concentrations of 25 μM, 12.5 nM, and 50 nM, respectively. Compounds were present in the plate wells as a 10-point 3-fold dilution series starting at a final concentration of 30 μM. After incubation at 25 °C for 3 hours, a mixture of anti-His Eu-W1024 and anti-GST allophycocyanin was added to the assay sample wells at final concentrations of 10 nM and 50 nM, respectively, and the reaction was incubated for an additional 1.5 hours. The TR-FRET signal was read on a microplate reader (excitation 320 nm, fluorescence 665 / 615 nm). Compounds that promoted the disruption of the K-Ras:RAF complex were identified as those that induced a decrease in the TR-FRET ratio relative to DMSO control wells.
[0313] Determination of cell viability in RAS mutant cancer cell lines Protocol: CellTiter-Glo® Cell Viability Assay Note - The following protocol describes the procedure for monitoring the cell viability of KRAS mutant cancer cell lines in response to the compounds of the present invention. Other RAS isoforms can be used, but the number of cells seeded will vary depending on the cell line used.
[0314] The purpose of this cell assay is to determine the effect of a test compound on the growth of three human cancer cell lines (NCI-H358 (KRAS G12C), AsPC-1 (KRAS G12D), Capan-1 (KRAS G12V)) over a 5-day treatment period by quantifying the amount of ATP present at the endpoint using the CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 reagent (Promega).
[0315] Cells are seeded at 250 cells / well in 40 μl of growth medium in a 384-well assay plate and incubated overnight at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. On the day of the assay, the test compound is prepared in a 9-fold serial dilution in 1 mM or 10 mM high-concentration DMSO as needed. The test compound (40 nl) is directly dispensed into each well of the cell culture plate using an Echo550 liquid handler (LabCyte®). The plate is shaken at 300 rpm for 15 seconds, centrifuged, and incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere for 5 days. On day 5, the assay plate and its contents are equilibrated to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 reagent (25 μl) is added, and the plate contents are mixed on an orbital shaker for 2 minutes and then incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Luminescence is measured using a PerkinElmer Enspire. The data are normalized as follows: (signal of sample / average DMSO) × 100. The data are fitted using a 4-parameter logistic fit.
