Background Art

[0002] Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the United States. Approximately one in four deaths in the United States is due to cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate of cancer patients diagnosed between 1996 and 2003 has increased from about half that between 1975 and 1977 to about two-thirds (Cancer Facts & Figures, American Cancer Society: Atlanta, Ga. (2008)). From 2000 to 2009, the annual incidence of new cancer cases decreased by an average of 0.6% in men, but there was no change in women. From 2000 to 2009, the overall mortality rate due to all cancers decreased by an average of 1.8% per year in men and 1.4% per year in women. This improvement in survival reflects progress in early-stage diagnosis and treatment, but the need for these remains. Discovering anti-cancer agents with low toxicity and high efficacy is a major goal of cancer research.

[0003] MEK is an important signaling intermediate in the MAPK / ERK pathway and is inappropriately activated across a wide range of human tumors, including those derived from the lung, pancreas, ovary, skin, and colon. Several MEK inhibitors have been approved by regulatory authorities to date, but these MEK inhibitors have not yet achieved the expected clinical efficacy, and a combination of these MEK inhibitors and RAF inhibitors is required to achieve a more sustained response. By identifying a new class of MEK inhibitors that can achieve dual inhibition of MEK / RAF and MEK / KSR, more complete suppression of the MAPK / ERK pathway can maximize pathological recovery, prevent reactivation of paradoxical pathways while limiting drug-related toxicity, which has a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of cancer patients.

Alternatively, the compound and the additional anti-cancer agent can be administered continuously as separate compositions within an appropriate time frame determined by a skilled clinician (e.g., cancer treatment session / interval (e.g., about 1.5 to about 5 hours, to about 10 hours, to about 15 hours, to about 20 hours; about 1 day to about 2 days, to about 5 days, to about 10 days, to about 14 days)) (e.g., a time sufficient to allow overlap of the pharmaceutical effects of the treatment). The compound and the additional anti-cancer agent can be administered in single or multiple doses in an order and schedule suitable to achieve the desired therapeutic effect (e.g., inhibition of tumor growth).

[0092] Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of treatment comprising administering to a subject a compound represented by formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for treating at least one of the diseases or conditions recited above.

[0093] As used herein, the terms "treating" or "treatment" refer to obtaining a desired pharmacological and / or physiological effect. This effect can be a therapeutic effect, including, but not limited to, partially or substantially achieving one or more of the following results: reducing, in whole or in part, the severity of a disease, disorder, or syndrome; alleviating or improving clinical symptoms or markers associated with the disorder; or delaying, inhibiting, or reducing the likelihood of progression of a disease, disorder, or syndrome.

[0094] Route of Administration and Dosage Form The exact amount of a compound administered to provide an "effective amount" to a subject will vary depending on the mode of administration, the type and severity of the disease or condition, and characteristics of the subject such as general health, age, sex, weight, and tolerance to the drug. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other factors. When administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, in combination with an anti-cancer agent, the "effective amount" of any additional therapeutic agent(s) will depend on the type of agent used. Suitable dosages of approved therapeutic agents are known, and one of ordinary skill in the art can adjust the dosages according to the condition of the subject, the type of condition(s) being treated, and the amount of the compound of the invention being used, for example, as reported in the literature and recommended in the Physician's Desk Reference (57th Edition, 2003).

[0095] The term "effective amount" means an amount that, when administered to a subject, produces a beneficial or desired result, including clinical results such as inhibiting, suppressing, or alleviating the symptoms of the condition being treated in the subject as compared to a control. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can be administered in unit dosage forms (e.g., 0.1 mg to about 50 g per day).

[0096] As used herein, the terms “administer,” “administering,” “administration,” etc. refer to methods that can be used to effect delivery of a composition to a desired site of a biological action. Such methods include, but are not limited to, intra-articular (into a joint), intravenous, intramuscular, intratumoral, intradermal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, oral, topical, intrathecal, inhalation, transdermal, rectal, etc. Administration techniques that can be used with the agents and methods described herein are described, for example, in Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current ed.; Pergamon; and Remington’s, Pharmaceutical Sciences (current edition), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.

[0097] Specific modes of administration and dosing regimens are selected by the attending clinician taking into account the details of the case (e.g., the subject, the disease, the medical condition involved, the particular therapy). Treatment may involve daily or several times a day, or less than daily (such as weekly or monthly) dosages over a period of days to months, or even years. However, one of ordinary skill in the art will immediately recognize appropriate dosages and / or equivalent dosages upon considering the dosages of approved compositions for treating a disease using the disclosed MEK inhibitors as a guide.

[0098] The compounds or corresponding pharmaceutical compositions taught herein can be administered to a patient in various forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The compounds of the present teachings can be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump, or transdermal administration, and the pharmaceutical compositions are formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, trans-epithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal, and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration can be effected by continuous infusion over a selected period.

[0099] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. In one embodiment, the composition is formulated according to ordinary procedures as a pharmaceutical composition suitable for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, oral, intranasal, or topical administration to humans. In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for intravenous administration.

[0100] Typically, for oral therapeutic administration, the compounds according to the present teachings are incorporated with excipients and can be used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like.

[0101] Typically, for parenteral administration, solutions of the compounds of the present teachings can generally be prepared in water suitably admixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol, DMSO, and mixtures thereof, with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under normal storage and use conditions, these preparations contain preservatives to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
