Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] 1. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 417,368, filed October 19, 2022, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface enzymes that receive external signals, such as whether to grow and divide, and transmit these signals to cells through their kinase activity. Many RTKs are proto-oncogenes, and aberrant RTK activity can promote cell survival, growth, and proliferation, leading to cancer and related disorders. This aberrant kinase activity can be caused by mutations, such as activating mutations in the kinase domain, gene rearrangements resulting in fusion proteins containing an intact kinase domain, amplification, and other means. RTK proto-oncogenes include ROS1, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), NTRK1 (encoding TRKA), NTRK2 (encoding TRKB), and NTRK3 (encoding TRKC).
[0003] ROS1 is a RTK proto-oncogene, and ROS1 rearrangements have been detected in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), glioblastoma, inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT), cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, angiosarcoma, and Spitz nevoid melanoma. Oncogenic ROS1 gene fusions involve the kinase domain (3' region) of ROS1 fused to the 5' region of various partner genes. Examples of ROS1 fusion partner genes observed in NSCLC include SLC34A2, CD74, TPM3, SDC4, EZR, LRIG3, KDELR2, CEP72, CLTL, CTNND2, GOPC, GPRC6A, LIMA1, LRIG3, MSN, MYO5C, OPRM1, SLC6A17 (putative), SLMAP, SRSF6, TFG, TMEM106B, TPD52L1, ZCCHC8, and CCDC6. Other fusion partners include CAPRIN1, CEP85L, CHCHD3, CLIP1 (putative), EEF1G, KIF21A (putative), KLC1, SART3, ST13 (putative), TRIM24 (putative), ERC1, FIP1L1, HLAA, KIAA1598, MYO5A, PPFIBP1, PWWP2A, FN1, YWHAE, CCDC30, NCOR2, NFKB2, APOB, PLG, RBP4, and GOLGB1.
[0004] ALK is a RTK proto-oncogene, and ALK rearrangements have been detected in many cancers, including NSCLC, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), IMT, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), renal medullary carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, colon cancer, serous ovarian cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, and Spitz nevus-like tumors, as well as ALK-activating mutations detected in neuroblastoma. Oncogenic ALK gene fusions contain the kinase domain (3' region) of ALK fused to the 5' region of more than 20 different partner genes, the most common of which are EML4 in NSCLC and NPM in ALCL. Other partner genes include TMP1, WDCP, GTF2IRD1, TPM3, TPM4, CLTC, LMNA, PRKAR1A, RANBP2, TFG, FN1, KLC1, VCL, STRN, HIP1, DCTN1, SQSTM1, TPR, CRIM1, PTPN3, FBXO36, ATIC, and KIF5B.
[0005] NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 are RTK proto-oncogenes encoding TRK family kinases, and chromosomal rearrangements of NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 are detected at low frequencies in many cancers. However, in the treatment of ROS1- or ALK-positive patients, inhibition of TRK, particularly in the central nervous system (CNS), is associated with adverse reactions including dizziness / ataxia / gait disturbance, paresthesia, weight gain, and cognitive changes.
[0006] Existing drugs used to treat oncogenic ROS1 and ALK have substantial deficiencies. These deficiencies may include one or more of the following: associated TRK inhibition, limited CNS activity, and insufficient activity against resistance mutations. Treatment of ROS1- or ALK-positive patients with TRK inhibition has been associated with adverse reactions, particularly in the CNS, including dizziness / ataxia / gait disturbances, paresthesia, weight gain, and cognitive changes. Additionally, there is a need for CNS-penetrating and TRK-sparing inhibitors of ROS1 with wild-type ROS1 kinase domain and acquired resistance mutations, including G2032R, D2033N, S1986F, S1986Y, L2026M, L1951R, E1935G, L1947R, G1971E, E1974K, L1982F, F2004C, F2004V, E2020K, C2060G, F2075V, V2089M, V2098I, G2101A, D2113N, D2113G, L2155S, L2032K, and L2086F, occurring individually or in combination. Similarly, there is a need for CNS-penetrating and TRK-sparing inhibitors of ALK with acquired resistance mutations. A variety of ALK drug resistance mutations occurring individually or in combination have been reported and include G1202R, L1196M, G1269A, C1156Y, I1171T, I1171N, I1171S, F1174L, V1180L, S1206Y, E1210K, I151Tins, F1174C, G1202del, D1203N, S1206Y, S1206C, L1152R, L1196Q, L1198P, L1198F, R1275Q, L1152P, C1156T, and F1245V.

[0059] The term "silyl" refers to a silicon moiety having three hydrocarbyl moieties attached thereto.
[0060] The term "substituted" refers to moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more backbone carbons. It is understood that "substituted" or "substituted with" includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is consistent with the permissible valences of the substituted atom and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a stable compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, and the like.

[0158] 4.3 How to use Provided herein are methods for treating cancer, comprising administering a compound provided herein, e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0159] Cancer is a disease of uncontrolled cell proliferation caused by alterations in certain genes. Some of these alterations occur in genes encoding receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), a family of membrane-bound proteins that transmit signals from outside the cell to promote cell survival, growth, and proliferation. Abnormal RTK activation can lead to excessive cell proliferation and ultimately cancer. RTKs generally contain an N-terminal domain that binds to extracellular ligands, a transmembrane domain, and a C-terminal kinase domain that catalyzes intracellular signal transduction.
[0160] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is an inhibitor of human ROS1. ROS1 is a RTK encoded by the ROS1 gene. While the ligand and biological function of human ROS1 are unknown, its homologs in several other species have been shown to bind extracellular ligands and stimulate cell differentiation. For example, mouse ROS1 is essential for male gamete maturation and reproduction. In humans, chromosomal rearrangements of ROS1 are a well-documented cause of cancer, accounting for 1-2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases and a subset of many other cancers. These rearrangements result in fusions of the C-terminus of ROS1 with the N-terminus of various partner proteins, the most common of which is CD74. ROS1 fusions have constitutive kinase activity that promotes tumor growth through MAPK, PI3K, and JAK / STAT signaling pathways. Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including crizotinib and entrectinib, have been used to target ROS1 fusions in cancer. Crizotinib, the first FDA-approved TKI for the treatment of ROS1-positive NSCLC, has an overall response rate of 60–80% and a median progression-free interval of 9–19 months. Despite initial responses, most patients develop resistance to crizotinib and relapse. The primary mechanism of resistance is the G2032R mutation in the solvent front, which dramatically reduces the affinity of crizotinib. No inhibitors with activity against the ROS1-G2032R fusion have been approved by the FDA, demonstrating a need in the art.
[0161] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is an inhibitor of human anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). ALK, also known as cluster of differentiation 246 (CD246), is a RTK encoded by the ALK gene. ALK and ROS1 are evolutionarily related. Both belong to the insulin receptor superfamily, and their kinase domains share approximately 80% sequence similarity. While the role of ALK in humans remains uncertain, mounting evidence from mouse studies suggests that ALK is important for nervous system development. Similar to ROS1, chromosomal rearrangements of ALK also lead to constitutively active fusion proteins that promote oncogenic transformation via MAPK, JAK / STAT, or other signaling pathways. ALK rearrangements are present in 3-5% of NSCLCs, approximately half of anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs), and subsets of many other cancers; the predominant fusions are EML4-ALK in NSCLC and NPM1-ALK in ALCL. Oncogenic point mutations and amplifications of ALK have also been observed, although at much lower frequencies than translocations. Crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, brigatinib, and lorlatinib are FDA-approved TKIs for first-line or prior treatment of ALK-positive NSCLC and other cancers. For example, crizotinib has demonstrated an overall response rate of 60–80% and a median progression-free interval of 8–11 months, comparable to its activity in ROS1-positive NSCLC. Despite initial responses, many resistance mutations have emerged against the aforementioned FDA-approved TKIs. Some of these mutations, such as the combination of the L1196M gatekeeper and G1202R solvent-front mutations, confer resistance to all approved drugs. There is a significant need in the art for new therapies for ALK-positive cancers with resistance mutations.
[0162] In a further embodiment, the compound of Formula (I) is an inhibitor of human tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK). The TRK family includes receptor tyrosine kinases TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC, which are encoded by the NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes, respectively. Each TRK is activated by a distinct but overlapping set of neurotrophin ligands, such as NGF, BDNF, and NT-3. All TRKs regulate similar downstream signaling pathways (90% similarity), consistent with sequence divergence in the ligand-binding domain rather than convergence in the kinase domain. TRKs play important roles in the developing and adult mammalian nervous system by regulating processes such as memory, movement, pain, and proprioception. Similar to ROS1 and ALK, NTRK rearrangements result in constitutively active TRK fusions, which promote oncogenic transformation via MAPK, PI3K, and other pathways. TRK fusions are found in many cancers, accounting for over 80% of cases of secretory breast cancer, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, infantile fibrosarcoma, and congenital mesoblastic nephroma. Therefore, inhibition of TRK is advantageous for treating cancers that express TRK fusions.
[0163] Many existing ROS1 and ALK inhibitors also exhibit potent inhibition of native, non-oncogenic TRKs. This is a substantial drawback because native TRKs perform important functions in the nervous system and inadvertent inhibition of native TRKs is associated with adverse reactions, including dizziness, ataxia, gait disturbances, paresthesia, weight gain, and cognitive changes. There is a need in the art for new therapies that selectively target non-mutated and / or mutant ROS1 and / or ALK while sparing TRKs.
[0164] In certain embodiments, provided herein are methods for reducing the level of ROS1 or ALK in a cell, the method comprising contacting the cell with a compound or pharmaceutical composition or pharmaceutical combination provided herein. In embodiments, such contacting occurs in a mammalian, e.g., human, cell. In embodiments, such contacting occurs in a human patient with a cancer as described herein.

The first mechanism is shedding, in which the 80-kDa extracellular domain of the ALK protein is posttranslationally cleaved near residue Asn654, leaving only the 140-kDa C-terminal transmembrane domain and the intracellular domain. Shedding has been observed in many ALK-expressing cell lines, most notably cell lines derived from neuroblastoma disease backgrounds. Shedding increases cancer cell migration and proliferation both in vitro and in vivo in preclinical cancer models (Moog-Lutz, JBC (2005), Huang, Cell Reports (2021)). The second mechanism is alternative transcription initiation (ATI), in which transcription of the ALK gene is initiated at an alternative initiation site downstream of the original site, resulting in the deletion of exons 1-18 and part of exon 19. ALK ATI has been identified in 11% of melanomas and in some lung and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. ALK ATI expression transforms Ba / F3 and NIH3T3 cells, conferring their oncogenic potential. One patient with ALK ATI showed a clinical response to ALK inhibitor treatment, suggesting that ALK ATI may be a targetable driver mutation (Wiesner, Nature (2015)). A third mechanism is partial deletion of the ALK gene, for example, via chromosomal rearrangement events. Multiple deletion variants have been identified, including deletions of exons 2-3, 1-5, 4-11, and 2-17. Some of these variants have been shown to activate ALK signaling and transform Ba / F3 or NIH3T3 cells. ALK partial deletions have been detected in neuroblastoma, sarcoma, and lymphoma.

[0276] 4.5 Pharmaceutical Compositions In certain embodiments, provided herein is a pharmaceutical agent suitable for use in a human patient, the pharmaceutical agent comprising any of the compounds described above (e.g., a compound provided herein, e.g., a compound of Formula (I)), and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent can be for use in the treatment or prevention of a condition or disease described herein. Any of the compounds provided herein can be used in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of any disease or condition provided herein.
[0277] The compositions and methods provided herein can be used to treat a subject in need of treatment. In certain embodiments, the subject is a mammal, e.g., a human, or a non-human mammal. In one embodiment, when administered to a subject, e.g., a human, the composition or compound is administered as, for example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound provided herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art and include, for example, aqueous solutions, e.g., water or physiologically buffered saline, or other solvents or vehicles, e.g., glycols, glycerol, oils, e.g., olive oil, or injectable organic esters. In one embodiment, such pharmaceutical compositions are intended for administration to humans, particularly for invasive administration routes (i.e., routes that avoid transport or diffusion through epithelial barriers, e.g., injection or implantation), and the aqueous solutions are pyrogen-free or substantially pyrogen-free. The excipients can be selected, for example, to provide delayed release of the drug or to selectively target one or more cells, tissues, or organs. The pharmaceutical compositions may be included in dosage unit forms, such as tablets, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), granules, lyophilizates for reconstitution, powders, solutions, syrups, suppositories, injections, etc. The compositions may also be included in transdermal delivery systems, such as skin patches. The compositions may also be included in solutions suitable for topical administration, such as eye drops.
[0278] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may include, for example, physiologically acceptable agents that act to stabilize, increase the solubility, or increase the absorption of a compound, such as a compound provided herein. Such physiologically acceptable agents include, for example, carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose, or dextran; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or glutathione; chelating agents; low-molecular-weight proteins; or other stabilizers or excipients. The choice of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier containing a physiologically acceptable agent depends, for example, on the route of administration of the composition. The formulation or pharmaceutical composition may be a self-emulsifying or self-microemulsifying drug delivery system. The pharmaceutical composition (formulation) may be, for example, a liposome or other polymer matrix into which the compound provided herein can be incorporated. For example, liposomes containing phospholipids or other lipids are non-toxic, physiologically acceptable, and metabolizable carriers that are relatively simple to prepare and administer.
[0279] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is used herein to refer to compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of a subject without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0280] As used herein, the phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent, or encapsulating material. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not harmful to the subject. Some examples of materials that can function as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository wax; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and the like. and soybean oil, (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol, (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol, (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate, (13) agar, (14) buffers, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide, (15) alginic acid, (16) pyrogen-free water, (17) isotonic saline, (18) Ringer's solution, (19) ethyl alcohol, (20) phosphate buffer, and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations.
[0281] The pharmaceutical composition (formulation) can be administered to a subject by any of a number of routes of administration, including, for example, oral (e.g., drench in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution or suspension, tablet, capsule (including sprinkle capsule and gelatin capsule), bolus, powder, granule, paste for application to the tongue), absorption through the oral mucosa (e.g., sublingual), anal, rectal, or vaginal (e.g., as a pessary, cream, or foam), parenteral (intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, or intrathecal, e.g., as a sterile solution or suspension), nasal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, transdermal (e.g., a patch applied to the skin), and topical (e.g., as a cream, ointment, or spray applied to the skin, or as eye drops). The compound can also be formulated for inhalation. In certain embodiments, the compound can simply be dissolved or suspended in sterile water. Details of suitable routes of administration and compositions suitable therefor can be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,110,973, 5,763,493, 5,731,000, 5,541,231, 5,427,798, 5,358,970, and 4,172,896, and the patents cited therein.
[0282] The formulations can be conveniently contained in unit dosage forms and prepared by any method known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the subject being treated and the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be the amount of compound that produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of 100 percent, this amount will range from about 1 percent to about 99 percent of the active ingredient, from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, or from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.
[0283] Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association an active compound, such as a compound provided herein, with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound provided herein with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
[0284] Formulations provided herein suitable for oral administration may be included in the form of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), lyophilisates, powders, granules, or as a solution or suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or an elixir or syrup, or a pastille (using an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia), and / or mouthwash, etc. The composition or compound may also be administered as a bolus, electuary, or paste.
[0285] To prepare solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules, etc.), the active compound is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and / or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; and (4) disintegrants, such as agar. , calcium carbonate, potato starch or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (5) solution retarders such as paraffin, (6) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (7) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (8) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, (9) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof, (10) complexing agents such as modified and unmodified cyclodextrins, and (11) coloring agents. In the case of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also contain buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be used as fillers for soft and hard gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.
[0286] Tablets can be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared using binders (e.g., gelatin or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), lubricants, inert diluents, preservatives, disintegrants (e.g., sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose), surfactants, or dispersants. Molded tablets can be made by molding a mixture of powdered compounds moistened with an inert liquid diluent in a suitable machine.
[0287] Tablets and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions, such as dragees, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), pills, and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. They may also be formulated to provide sustained or controlled release of the active ingredient contained therein, for example, using various proportions of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, other polymer matrices, liposomes, and / or microspheres to provide the desired release profile. They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter or by incorporating a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may optionally contain opacifying agents or may be composed to release the active ingredient(s) only in a certain part of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient may also be in microencapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
[0288] The liquid dosage form useful for oral administration includes pharmaceutically acceptable emulsion, lyophilized product for reconstitution, microemulsion, solution, suspension, syrup and elixir.In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage form can also contain the inert diluent commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvent, cyclodextrin and its derivatives, solubilizer and emulsifier, for example, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oil (specifically cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol and fatty acid ester of sorbitan and their mixtures.
[0289] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.
[0290] Suspensions may contain, in addition to the active compounds, suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar, and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
[0291] Formulations of pharmaceutical compositions for rectal, vaginal, or urethral administration may be included as suppositories, which may be prepared by mixing one or more active compounds with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers including, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax, or a salicylate, and which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the active compound.
[0292] Formulations of the pharmaceutical composition for oral administration may be presented as a mouthwash, or a mouth spray, or a mouth ointment.
[0293] Alternatively, or in addition, the compositions may be formulated for delivery via a catheter, stent, wire, or other intraluminal device, which may be particularly useful for delivery to the bladder, urethra, ureter, rectum, or intestine.
[0294] Formulations which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
[0295] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches, and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that may be required.
[0296] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to the active compound, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffin, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonite, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
[0297] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the active compound, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
[0298] Transdermal patches also have the advantage of providing controlled delivery of the compounds provided herein to the body.Such dosage forms can be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the active compound in a suitable medium.Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound through the skin.The rate of such flux can be controlled by providing a rate-limiting membrane or dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
[0299] Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders, solutions, and the like are also provided herein. Exemplary ophthalmic formulations are described in U.S. Publication Nos. 2005 / 0080056, 2005 / 0059744, 2005 / 0031697, and 2005 / 004074, and U.S. Patent No. 6,583,124, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Optionally, the liquid ophthalmic formulation has properties similar to those of tears, aqueous humor, or vitreous humor, or is compatible with such fluids. The route of administration is topical (e.g., topical administration such as eye drops, or administration via an implant).
[0300] As used herein, the phrases "parenteral administration" and "administering parenterally" refer to modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and include, but are not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intrathecal, and intrasternal injection and infusion.
[0301] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more active compounds in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders that can be reconstituted into sterile solutions or dispersions for injection just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes or suspending or thickening agents that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient.
[0302] Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions provided herein include water, ethanol, polyols (glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.) and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
[0303] These compositions may also contain adjuvants, such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride, and the like, in the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0304] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of drug, it is desirable to delay the absorption of drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility.The absorption rate of drug is in turn dependent on its dissolution rate, which can depend on crystal size and crystalline form.Alternatively, delayed absorption of parenterally administered drug form can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in oil medium.
[0305] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the subject compound in biodegradable polymers, such as polylactide-polyglycolide. The rate of drug release can be controlled depending on the ratio of drug to polymer and the properties of the particular polymer used. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations can also be prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.
[0306] For use in the methods provided herein, the active compound may be administered per se or as a pharmaceutical composition comprising, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (e.g., 0.5 to 90%) of the active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[0307] Methods of introduction can also be provided by rechargeable or biodegradable devices. Recently, a variety of slow-release polymeric devices have been developed and tested in vivo for the controlled delivery of drugs, including proteinaceous biopharmaceuticals. A variety of biocompatible polymers (including hydrogels), including both biodegradable and non-degradable polymers, can be used to form implants for the sustained release of compounds at specific target sites.
[0308] The actual dosage level of the active ingredient contained in the pharmaceutical composition may be varied to provide an amount of the active ingredient effective to achieve the therapeutic response required for a particular patient, composition, and method of administration without being toxic to the patient.
[0309] The selected dosage level will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the particular compound or combination of compounds, or esters, salts, or amides thereof, used, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound(s) used, the duration of treatment, other drugs, compounds, and / or materials used in combination with the particular compound(s) used, the age, sex, weight, condition, general condition, and previous medical history of the subject being treated, and similar factors well known in the medical arts.
[0310] A physician or veterinarian of ordinary skill in the art can easily determine and prescribe the required therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition. For example, a physician or veterinarian may start by administering a pharmaceutical composition or compound at a level lower than that required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. A "therapeutically effective amount" refers to the concentration of a compound sufficient to elicit the desired therapeutic effect. It is generally understood that the effective amount of the compound will vary depending on the subject's weight, sex, age, and medical history. Other factors that affect the effective amount may include, but are not limited to, the severity of the subject's condition, the disorder being treated, the stability of the compound, and, if necessary, other types of therapeutic agents administered together with the compounds provided herein. A larger total dose can be delivered by multiple administrations of the drug. Methods for determining efficacy and dosage are known to those skilled in the art (Isselbacher et al. (1996) Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 13 ed., 1814-1882, incorporated herein by reference).
[0311] Generally, a suitable daily dose of an active compound used in the compositions and methods provided herein will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.
[0312] If necessary, the effective daily dose of the active compound can be administered as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or more subdoses, which are optionally administered separately in unit dosage form at appropriate intervals throughout the day.In certain embodiments, the active compound can be administered twice or three times a day.In certain embodiments, the active compound is administered once a day.
[0313] In certain embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be used alone or may be administered in combination with another type of therapeutic agent. As used herein, the term "co-administration" refers to any administration form of two or more different therapeutic compounds, where the second compound is administered while the previously administered therapeutic compound is still effective in the body (e.g., the two compounds are simultaneously effective in the subject, which may include the synergistic effect of the two compounds). For example, the different therapeutic compounds may be administered in the same formulation or in separate formulations, simultaneously or sequentially. In certain embodiments, the different therapeutic compounds may be administered within 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, or 1 week of each other. Thus, subjects receiving such treatment can benefit from the combined effects of different therapeutic compounds.
[0314] In certain embodiments, co-administration of a compound provided herein with one or more additional therapeutic agent(s) (e.g., one or more additional chemotherapeutic agent(s)) results in improved efficacy compared to separate administration of a compound provided herein (e.g., a compound of Formula I or Ia) or the one or more additional therapeutic agent(s). In certain such embodiments, the co-administration results in an additive effect, where additive effect refers to the sum of the effects of each of the separate administration of a compound provided herein and the one or more additional therapeutic agent(s).
[0315] Also provided herein is the use of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds provided herein in the compositions and methods provided herein.
