[0002] This disclosure generally relates to therapeutic conjugates that covalently bind to biological targets. [Background technology]
[0003] Covalent inhibitors bind to receptors in the same way as classical inhibitors, but instead of dissociating, they form a permanent covalent chemical bond to the receptor. Some examples of covalent inhibitors include penicillin, aspirin, clopidogrel, the EGFR kinase inhibitor afatinib used to treat lung cancer, and the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib used to treat B-cell malignancies. Furthermore, in the field of oncology, covalent inhibitors have been shown to be effective against drug-resistant tumors and generally exhibit a stronger ability to inhibit tumor growth.
[0004] In recent years, covalent inhibitors have attracted the attention of major pharmaceutical companies because they offer higher potential and longer duration of action compared to classical reversible inhibitors. The extended duration of action means that lower dosing frequency is required; that is, patients need to take fewer tablets less frequently.
[0005] There is a need to design therapeutic conjugates that can covalently bind to biological targets and to develop high-throughput screening methods for these therapeutic conjugates. [Overview of the project]

[0013] I. Composition The inventors, in particular, discovered the Anchored Relational Covalent System, hereafter referred to as ARCS, which includes a Functionally Competent Binder, hereafter referred to as FCB, and a Covalent Linking Modality, hereafter referred to as CLM, where CLM is directly or indirectly coupled to a therapeutic modality, is optional, and is positioned between FCB and CLM. Includes a linker. In some embodiments, the CLM is directly and covalently bonded to the FCB by a linker. In some embodiments, the CLM is indirectly and covalently bonded to the FCB by a linker.
[0014] As used herein, the term "ARCS" refers to any therapeutic conjugate formed by linking FCB and CLM by a linker or by binding. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with one or more targets, such as nucleotides, oligonucleotides, peptides, or proteins. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets. Covalent bonds can be detected using any known method in the art. As an unrestricted example, the covalent bond of an azide small molecule to a protein can be detected by using click chemistry to bind a heavy PEG-containing alkyne to the small molecule. Covalently labeled proteins are PEG-labeled and have a higher molecular weight, and are therefore detected by gel shift (Biochemistry 2018, 57:5769-5774). In another unrestricted example, covalently labeled purified proteins can be detected using mass spectrometry (Nature Chemical Biology 2007, 3:229-238). In yet another non-limiting example, covalent bonding can be analyzed using proteomics methods based on quantitative mass spectrometry of cells (Cell Chemical Biology 2017, 24:1388-1400.e7). In yet another non-limiting example, covalent bond formation can be confirmed using X-ray crystallography (Nature Chemical Biology 2007:3:229-238; J.Med.Chem.2020, 63:52-65). In yet another non-limiting example, the site of covalent modification can be revealed using mass spectrometry of intracellular, covalently labeled, and affinity-rich samples (Nat.Chem.Biol.2016, 12:876-884).
[0015] In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets in proportions ranging from approximately 5% to 100% of the biological target. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets in proportions ranging from approximately 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%. In some embodiments, the covalent bonds are formed in an aqueous solution at a therapeutic dose of 10 mM within 48 hours at a temperature of 0–50°C.
[0016] While we do not wish to be bound by any theory, ARCS can first form non-covalent bonds with biological targets (such as target proteins) via FCBs, and then covalent bonds with biological targets via CLMs. In some embodiments, the efficacy of ARCS is superior to that of FCBs alone. In some embodiments, CLMs do not substantially interfere with the efficacy of FCBs. In some embodiments, FCBs do not substantially interfere with the covalent bonding of CLMs. In some embodiments, the toxicity of ARCS is less than that of FCBs alone.
[0017] As used herein, the term “toxicity” refers to the ability of a substance or composition to be harmful or toxic to cells, living tissues, or the cellular environment. “Low toxicity” refers to the attenuated ability of a substance or composition to be harmful or toxic to cells, living tissues, or the cellular environment. Such attenuation or low toxicity may be relative to a standard measure, to treatment, or to the absence of treatment.
[0018] As used herein, the term "FCB" refers to a therapeutic modality which may be a known drug, diagnostic compound, drug candidate and functional fragment and / or any combination thereof.

[0082] E. Pharmaceutical Compositions The ARCS of the present disclosure may be administered to a subject using any convenient means that can produce the desired result. Thus, the ARCS of the present disclosure can be incorporated into various formulations for therapeutic administration. More specifically, the ARCS of the present disclosure may be formulated into a pharmaceutical composition by combination with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, and may be formulated in solid, semi-solid, liquid, or gaseous forms such as tablets, capsules, powders, granules, ointments, solutions, suppositories, injections, inhalants, and aerosols.
[0083] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising the ARCS described herein and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, e.g., any carrier commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used herein to mean a compound, material, composition and / or dosage form that is within the bounds of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions or other problems or complications, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.
[0084] The administration of pharmaceutical compositions can be achieved by various methods, including oral, rectal, parenteral, intraperitoneal, intradermal, transdermal, and intratracheal administration. In pharmaceutical dosage forms, pharmaceutical compositions may be administered alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active compounds.
[0085] The amount of ARCS in the pharmaceutical composition may be based on weight, moles, or volume. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition contains at least 0.0001% ARCS.

[0086] It will also be understood that certain ARCSs may exist in free form for therapeutic purposes or, where appropriate, as pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof. According to this disclosure, pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, salts of such esters, or prodrugs or other adducts or derivatives of ARCSs, and ARCSs may be included in compositions that, at the time of administration to a patient in need, directly or indirectly provide the compound or its metabolites or residues as described herein.
[0087] As described above, the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, which, when used herein, include any and all solvents, diluents, or other liquid vehicles, dispersants or suspension aids, surfactants, isotonic agents, thickeners or emulsifiers, preservatives, antioxidants, solid binders, lubricants, etc., suitable for the specific dosage form of the choice.
[0088] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition, or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, manufacturing aid (e.g., lubricant, magnesium talc, calcium or zinc stearate or stearic acid) or solvent encapsulating material involved in transporting or carrying the compound of interest from one organ or part of the body to another. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense that it is compatible with the other components of the formulation and is not harmful to the patient. Some examples of materials that can serve 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, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) lubricants such as magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate, and 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 soybean oil; and (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) Arginic acid; (16) Pyrogen-free water; (17) Isotonic saline; (18) Ringer's solution; (19) Ethyl alcohol; (20) pH buffer solution; (21) Polyesters, polycarbonates, and / or polyanhydrides; (22) Bulking agents such as polypeptides and amino acids; (23) Serum components such as serum albumin, HDL, and LDL; (24) C2-C12 alcohols such as ethanol; and (25) Other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. Wetting agents, colorants, release agents, coating agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, preservatives, and antioxidants may also be present in the formulation.In this specification, terms such as “excipient,” “carrier,” and “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” are used interchangeably.
[0089] Useful pharmaceutical carriers for the preparation of the compositions described herein may be solid, liquid, or gas. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences by E.W. Martin. Such compositions, in any case, contain an effective amount of ARCS together with a suitable carrier to prepare a suitable dosage form for appropriate administration to the recipient.
[0090] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to ARCS, liquid dosage forms include, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizers, and emulsifiers. For example, the oral composition may include inactivating diluents commonly used in the art, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (especially cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil, and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and fatty acid esters of sorbitan and mixtures thereof. In addition to inactivating diluents, the oral composition may also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifiers and suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and fragrances.
[0091] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, ARCS comprises at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or a) fillers or extenders such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; b) binders, such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginic acid, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia; c) hydrating agents such as glycerol; d) disintegrants such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarders such as paraffin; f) absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) wetting agents, such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, and sodium lauryl sulfate, as well as mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form may also include a buffer.
[0092] Similar solid compositions can also be used as fillers in soft and rigid gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol. Solid dosage forms of tablets, sugars, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared using coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in pharmaceutical formulation technology. These solid dosage forms may optionally contain opacifiers and may be compositions that release only the active ingredient, or optionally release it preferentially, in a delayed manner, in a specific part of the intestinal tract. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymers and waxes. Similar solid compositions can also be used as fillers in soft and rigid gelatin capsules using excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
[0093] ARCS may also be in the form of microcapsules having one or more excipients, as described above. Solid dosage forms of tablets, sugars, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared using coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and controlled-release coatings, as well as other coatings known in pharmaceutical formulation technology. In these solid dosage forms, ARCS may be mixed with at least one inert diluent, such as sucrose, lactose, and starch. These dosage forms may also contain additional substances other than the inert diluent, as is common practice, such as tableting lubricants and magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also contain buffers. These solid dosage forms may optionally contain opacifiers and may be compositions that release only the active ingredient, or preferentially, selectively, and delayedly, in a specific portion of the intestinal tract. Examples of embedding compositions that may be used include polymers and waxes.
[0094] Formulations suitable for parenteral administration conveniently, and preferably, contain a sterile aqueous preparation of the drug that is isotonic with the recipient's blood. Suitable excipient solutions include phosphate-buffered saline, saline, water, Ringer's lactate solution, or dextrose (5% in water). Such formulations can be conveniently prepared by mixing the drug with water to produce a solution or suspension. The formulation is filled into sterile containers and sealed to prevent bacterial contamination. The sterile material is preferably used under sterile manufacturing conditions to avoid the need for final sterilization. Such formulations may optionally contain one or more additional components, including preservatives such as methyl hydroxybenzoate, chlorocresol, metaczol, phenol, and benzalkonium chloride. Such substances are of particular value when the formulation is presented in multi-dose containers.
[0095] A buffer solution is also included to provide the appropriate pH value for the formulation. Suitable buffer materials include sodium phosphate and sodium acetate. Sodium chloride or glycerin can be used to make the formulation isotonic using blood.
[0096] If desired, the formulation can be filled into a container under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, and can be conveniently presented in single-dose or multi-dose forms, for example, in sealed ampoules.
[0097] Those skilled in the art will recognize that the amounts of various components of the composition of the Disclosure administered to a subject according to the method of the Disclosure depend on the factors described above.
[0098] Preparations for injection can be formulated according to known techniques, for example, by using appropriate dispersants or wetting agents and suspending agents to sterile aqueous or oily suspensions for injection. Sterile preparations for injection may also be sterile solutions, suspensions, or emulsions for injection in non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, such as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be used include water, Ringer's solution, USP, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Furthermore, sterile fixatives are conventionally used as solvents or suspension media. For this purpose, any non-irritating fixative, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides, can be used. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injections.
[0099] A non-limiting example of a tablet may contain an amount of active ingredient ranging from 10 mg to 100 mg, 70 mg to 95 mg of powdered lactose, 10 mg to 35 g of white corn starch, 1 mg to 8 mg of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 1 mg to 10 mg of sodium (Na) carboxymethyl starch (CMS), and 1 mg to 5 mg of magnesium stearate, with a tablet weight ranging from 200 mg to 3000 mg.
[0100] Examples of tablets in this disclosure are as follows: Ingredients: mg / tablet Active ingredient 100 Lactose powder 95 White corn starch 35 Polyvinylpyrrolidone 8 Sodium carboxymethyl starch 10 Magnesium stearate 2 Tablet weight 250
[0101] A non-limiting example of a capsule may contain an amount of active ingredient ranging from 10 mg to 100 mg, 50 mg to 75 mg of crystalline lactose, 10 mg to 35 mg of microcrystalline cellulose, 1 mg to 8 mg of talc, and 1 mg to 5 mg of magnesium stearate, with a capsule filling weight ranging from 100 mg to 3000 mg.
[0102] Examples of capsules in this disclosure are as follows: Ingredients mg / capsule Active ingredient 50 Crystalline lactose 60 Microcrystalline cellulose 34 Talc 5 Magnesium stearate 1 Capsule filling weight: 150
[0103] In the capsules shown above, the active ingredients have an appropriate particle size. Crystalline lactose and microcrystalline cellulose are homogeneously mixed and sieved, and then talc and magnesium stearate are mixed in. The final mixture is filled into appropriately sized hard gelatin capsules.
[0104] A non-limiting example of injection is an amount of active ingredient ranging from 0.05 mg to 5 mg, 10.0 μL to 20.0 μL of 1N HCl, 0.1 mg to 1 mg of acetic acid, 1 mg to 10 mg of sodium chloride, 1 mg to 10 mg of phenol, and enough 1N HCl to adjust the pH to 4 to 5. Contains NaOH and a sufficient amount of water.
[0105] Examples of the injectable solutions described herein are as follows: Component mg / solution Active substance 1.0mg 1 N HCl 20.0 μl Acetic acid 0.5 mg NaCl 8.0mg Phenol 10.0 mg 1N NaOH qsad pH5 H2O qsad 1mL
[0106] Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating a sterilizing agent in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium before use.
[0107] To extend the effects of ARCS, it is often desirable to slow down the absorption of ARCS from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a low-water-soluble liquid suspension or amorphous material. The absorption rate of ARCS then depends on its dissolution rate, and then on its crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of parenterally administered ARCS forms is achieved by dissolving or suspending ARCS in an oil vehicle. Depot formulations for injection are prepared by forming a microcapsule matrix of ARCS in a biodegradable polymer such as polylactide-polyglycolide. The rate of ARCS release can be controlled depending on the ratio of ARCS to polymer and the properties of the specific polymer used. Other examples of biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoester) and poly(anhydrous). Depot injection formulations are also prepared by encapsulating ARCS in liposomes or microemulsions compatible with body tissues.
[0108] The composition for rectal or vaginal administration is preferably a suppository that can be prepared by mixing ARCS with a suitable non-irritating excipient or carrier such as cocoa butter or polyethylene glycol, or with a suppository wax that is solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melts in the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the active compound.
[0109] Typical suppository formulations contain ARCS or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and when administered in this manner, for example, polymer glycol, gelatin, cocoa butter or other low-melting substances. It is active with binders and / or lubricants such as plant waxes or fats. Typical transdermal formulations include conventional aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles, such as creams, ointments, lotions or pastes, or in the form of medicinal plastics, patches or films.
[0110] Typical compositions for inhalation are in the form of solutions, suspensions, or emulsions, which can be administered in aerosol form using conventional sprays such as dichlorodifluoromethane or trichlorofluoromethane.
[0111] Depending on the route of administration, those skilled in the art can determine and adjust the effective dose of the small molecules disclosed herein for subjects such as human subjects accordingly.
[0112] Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy are, for example, LD 50 (50% lethal dose in the population) and ED 50 The effective dose for 50% of the population can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals. The dose-to-toxicity ratio is the therapeutic index, or LD50. 50 / ED 50 It can be expressed as a ratio. Compositions exhibiting a large therapeutic index are preferred.
[0113] The descriptions of pharmaceutical compositions provided herein primarily concern pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to humans, but those skilled in the art will understand that such compositions are generally suitable for administration to any other animals, such as non-human animals, such as non-human mammals. Targets to which the pharmaceutical compositions are intended include, but are not limited to, agricultural animals such as cattle, horses, chickens, and pigs; domestic animals such as cats and dogs; or research animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, and non-human primates, as well as non-human mammals.
[0114] II. How to use ARCS The ARCS described herein or compositions containing the ARCS described herein may be administered to treat any therapeutic disease that can be treated with its FCB or any therapeutic disease related to the biological targets of the ARCS, including but not limited to cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, or aging, as appropriate. The formulations can be delivered to various body parts, such as the brain and central nervous system, eyes, ears, lungs, bones, heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, breasts, ovaries, colon, pancreas, muscles, gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and skin, to treat diseases associated with these body parts. The formulations may be administered by injection, orally, or topically, typically to mucosal surfaces (lungs, nasal cavity, oral cavity, buccal, sublingual, vagina, rectum) or eyes (intraocular or transocular).
[0115] In aspects of this disclosure, ARCS binds to a biological target. In some embodiments, the biological target includes, but is not limited to, kinases such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and pseudokinase.
[0116] In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets from about 5% to 100% of the biological target. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with biological targets from about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100% of the biological target.
[0117] In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with PI3 kinase. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with PI3 kinase from about 5% to 100% of PI3 kinase. In some embodiments, ARCS can form covalent bonds with PI3 kinase from about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, and 5% of PI3 kinase. It can form a covalent bond with PI3 kinase at concentrations of 0%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.
[0118] Protein kinases and pseudokinases Protein kinases and pseudokinases regulate signaling pathways for a wide range of biological processes in both normal and diseased states (Brognard, J. et al., Curr. Opin. Genet. Dev. 2011, 21, pp4-11; Cohen, P. et al., Nat. Cell Biol. 2002, 4, E127-130). In fact, most eukaryotic processes are controlled by kinases and / or pseudokinases. The term "pseudokinase" refers to proteins that have a kinase domain lacking catalytically relevant residues, including lysine in the VAIK motif or aspartic acid in the DFG motif. Examples of pseudokinases include HER3, STRAD, ILK, KSR1, and KSR2. Some pseudokinases are incapable of phosphoryl group transduction, while others possess the ability to transduce phosphoryl groups despite lacking catalytically relevant residues.
[0119] Kinases and pseudokinases can function by inhibiting and / or activating their protein partners through processes such as binding, covalent modification including phosphorylation, conformational regulation, cellular localization, and / or other processes. Protein kinases and pseudokinases can promote and / or antagonize a wide range of diseases, including but not limited to cancer, Alzheimer's disease, aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, CNS-related disorders, immunological disorders, allergies, hypertension, and Parkinson's disease. Protein kinases and pseudokinases are also commonly mutated in several diseases, including but not limited to cancer and Parkinson's disease.
[0120] Molecules targeting kinases and pseudokinases can act as anticancer agents. Unfortunately, common inhibitors often exhibit limited efficacy due to their short resonance times at the target. Therefore, there is a need to discover kinase inhibitors that, compared to previous kinase inhibitors, have improved resonance times at the target and simultaneously possess improved potential and efficacy.
[0121] In some embodiments, the ARCS of this disclosure may target kinases and pseudokinases, thereby inhibiting them. The FCB of the ARCS may be an inhibitor of the kinase and pseudokinase. The CLM of the ARCS may be covalently bound to the kinase and pseudokinase.
[0122] In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a method for treating a disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ARCS or ARCS-containing composition or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient in need thereof, the patient having a disease partially or entirely caused by alterations in the modulation of a target kinase or pseudokinase, such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, CNS-related disease, immunological disease, allergy, hypertension, or Parkinson's disease. In some embodiments, the disease is related to PI3K or involves a mutation in PI3K. In some embodiments, the subject has cancer having a mutation in the PIK3CA gene.
[0123] Administration This disclosure provides a method comprising administering a composition comprising the ARCS described herein to a subject in need thereof. The ARCS composition comprising herein may be administered to a subject using any amount and any route of administration that is effective in preventing, treating or imaging a disease, disorder and / or condition. The exact amount required is determined by the subject. The appropriate treatment varies depending on the target individual, including the species, age and overall health condition, the severity of the disease, the specific composition, the mode of administration, and the mode of activity.
[0124] The compositions according to this disclosure are typically formulated in unit dosage forms for ease of administration and dose uniformity. However, it is understood that the total daily dose of the compositions according to this disclosure may be determined by the attending physician within the bounds of sound medical judgment. For any particular patient, a specific therapeutic effective dose, prophylactic effective dose, or appropriate imaging dose level depends on a variety of factors, including the disorder being treated and its severity, the activity of the specific compound used, the specific composition used, the patient's age, weight, overall health, sex, and diet, the timing of administration, route of administration, and elimination rate of the specific compound used, the duration of treatment, any drugs used in combination with or incidentally with the specific compound used, and factors well known in the medical field.

The desired dose can be delivered three times a day, twice a day, once a day, every other day, every three days, weekly, every two weeks, every three weeks, or every four weeks. In some embodiments, the desired dose may be delivered using multiple doses (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 or more doses). When multiple doses are employed, a divided dosing regimen, such as those described herein, may be used.
[0126] As used herein, “divided dose” means dividing a single unit dose or total daily dose into two or more doses, such as two or more single unit doses. As used herein, “single unit dose” is the dose of any therapeutic agent administered in a single dose event, i.e., a single administration event. As used herein, “total daily dose” is the amount administered or prescribed over a 24-hour period. The total daily dose may be administered as a single unit dose.

[0133] As used herein, the term “assay” refers to a set of activities related to the reported results, which may include, but are not limited to, cell seeding, preparation of test material, infection, lysis, analysis, and calculation of results.
[0134] In some embodiments, the assay surface on the substrate is sterile and suitable for culturing cells under conditions representing culture conditions during the large-scale (e.g., industrial-scale) production of biological products. In some embodiments, the exterior of the substrate includes wells, depressions, borders, etc., at locations corresponding to the assay surface. In some embodiments, the wells, depressions, borders, or similar structures hold a fluid, such as cell culture medium, on the assay surface.
[0135] In some embodiments, the substrate includes a microarray plate, a biochip, etc., enabling high-throughput, automated testing of a series of test agents, conditions, and / or combinations thereof related to the production of biological products by cultured cells. For example, the substrate may include a two-dimensional microarray plate or biochip having m-columns and n-row assay surfaces (e.g., present in wells), enabling testing of m x n combinations of test agents and / or conditions (e.g., on a 24-well, 96-well, or 384-well microarray plate). The microarray substrate is preferably designed so that all necessary positive and negative controls can be performed in parallel with the testing of agents and / or conditions.
[0136] B. Screening Methods Generally, the synthesis of therapeutic conjugates that form covalent bonds with biological targets involves multiple synthesis and purification steps. When using these synthesis and purification steps, generating libraries of therapeutic conjugates or developing structure-activity relationships (SARs) for screening purposes can be challenging. There remains a need for methods and systems for automatically generating libraries of therapeutic conjugates using organic synthesis methods. To discover therapeutic conjugate drug leads, libraries of therapeutic conjugates against protein receptors must be screened to identify molecules that specifically bind to receptors in the cellular environment, and this binding is covalent and irreversible. Identifying whether a therapeutic conjugate covalently binds to a specific target within a cell is difficult to prove.
[0137] Current methods in the art for screening therapeutic conjugates for their covalent binding to biological targets include tandem mass spectrometry approaches. Tandem MS, or MS / MS, is a method for decomposing selected ions into fragment ions. Once a sample is ionized to produce a mixture of ions, a precursor ion with a specific mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) is selected (MS1) and then fragmented (MS2) to produce a product ion for detection. Information about the chemical structure of the selected ion can be determined from the fragments.
[0138] However, there are challenges associated with mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry is primarily limited to fragment screening rather than drug-like molecule screening. Mass spectrometry analysis of therapeutic conjugates often results in unresolved analyses because it is difficult to identify some of the fragments. This approach involves a multi-step process with long processing times and manual analysis. MS / MS is difficult to interpret because it requires defragmenting the complex, larger molecules, and manually reassembling them by each peptide. Another drawback of using mass spectrometry is that detection is proportional to ionization rather than abundance, making the technique somewhat quantitative.
[0139] Therefore, there are challenges associated with the synthesis and screening of therapeutic conjugates. Firstly, it is difficult to generate targeted covalent inhibitors that can access both cysteine and non-cysteine amino acids. Secondly, it is difficult to distinguish false-positive covalent inhibitors from actual positives.
[0140] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors combined a combinatorial synthesis approach with a reliable screening approach to identify potential therapeutic conjugates. This disclosure provides a high-throughput complex approach for synthesizing therapeutic conjugates, rapidly tracking covalent binding, analyzing large libraries for duration of action, and directly quantifying intracellular covalent target binding.
[0141] By using the MS / MS method, thousands of molecules can be screened per day with picomolar sensitivity, compared to tens of molecules with nanomolar sensitivity. This disclosure is applicable to any drug molecule, is not limited to fragments, and provides quantitative results with 95–99% reproducibility.
[0142] In some embodiments, the method for screening the ARCS library is as follows: To generate an ARCS library in the composition, The process involves bringing the library into contact with target cells, Lysizing target cells to produce solubilizes, Labeling the solubilized substance, and This includes detecting the covalent binding of ARCS to biological targets on target cells.

Additional mammalian cell lines are known to those skilled in the art and are cataloged in the American Type Culture Collection catalog (ATCC®, Mamasus, Virginia).
[0146] In some embodiments, cells are lysed using chemical and / or mechanical lysis. In some embodiments, chemical lysis involves a lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor, phosphate-buffered saline, and Triton X100. In some embodiments, cells may be frozen after being added to the lysis buffer at -80°C for about 30 minutes to about 72 hours. Alternatively, the cell lysates may be stored at a temperature range of 2–8°C or at room temperature. In some embodiments, cells are centrifuged and the cell lysates are collected. In some embodiments, this is carried out by rotating the cells in a centrifuge at 3,750 RPM at room temperature for 10 minutes.
[0147] The methods described herein are not limited to, but may include, cell plates such as 24-well plates, 48-well plates, 96-well plates, or 384-well plates, individual cell culture plates, or flasks such as T-flasks or shaking flasks. This can be carried out by utilizing any of the wide range of cell assay formats, including [specific format / method].
[0148] The covalent bonds of ARCS can be detected by assays such as gel assays, NanoBRET assays, Western blots, ELISAs, or microarrays, but are not limited to these. For example, gel assays, including microfluidic or capillary techniques, can separate proteins by size.
[0149] In some embodiments, covalent bonding is detected by gel assay. “Gel assay” is defined as an assay in which cells or cell solubilates are first treated with ARCS at doses of 1 picomole–1 mmol for a period of 2 minutes to 120 hours using techniques known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to common cell culture techniques. The cells are then lysed using techniques known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to sonication or buffer lysis. The resulting solubilizes, also described as unpurified cell solubilates, can be further prepared and used using techniques known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to centrifugation, to produce purified solubilizes. Purified or unpurified solubilizes are likely to contain proteins covalently bonded to the molecule of interest. “Coupling reagents” and labeling molecules are added to the purified or unpurified solubilizes, and the ARCS in the reaction mixture is covalently labeled with the labeling molecules via a copper-free or copper-driven click reaction. The compounds bonded to the labeling molecules are then added, enabling reliable stoichiometric separation and reliable covalent drug tracking. Next, the sample is subjected to a Western blotting method well known to those skilled in the art. The amount of covalent bonding can then be tracked based on the shift of the drug-treated band compared to the untreated band. The band can be quantified using densitometry, and the quantitative amount of covalent label can be determined using the relative abundance of the band.
[0150] Generally, covalent binding of high molecular weight proteins / mass to ARCS leads to a shift in the target-ARCS-high molecular weight protein-mass complex in the gel. If azide-bonded molecules, which are bound to high molecular weight proteins or any type of molecule, are directly linked to alkynes on the ARCS, the shift still occurs, making it possible to detect the covalent binding of ARCS to targets.
[0151] In some embodiments, covalent bonding is detected by a gel-only shift assay. A "gel-only shift assay" is defined as an assay in which a protein is expressed in any cell type (via transfection or infection) and linked to a tagging domain. This tagging domain includes a fluorescent protein or a linker protein. Fluorescent proteins include GFP, RFP, etc. Linker proteins include HALO, SNAP-, CLIP-, ACP-, and MCP- tags. After transfection or infection, cells are then treated with a therapeutic conjugate of the Disclosure, which contains an alkyne that can potentially covalently bond. The cells are then lysed. In the case of protein expression with a linker protein, a "coupling reagent" is then added to covalently bond a fluorescent dye to the target protein. The solubilizer is then run on a gel, and the target protein can be visualized via in-gel fluorescence without the need for Western blot transfer. The amount of covalent bonding can be tracked based on the shift of the drug-treated band compared to the untreated band. The band can be quantified using densitometry, and the relative abundance of the band can be used to determine the quantitative amount of the covalent label.
[0152] The tagging domain can be any domain that enables the labeling of the target. In some embodiments, the tagging domain includes a label. This label is applied by the antibody. The domain itself may contain a recognized epitope or a detectable light or radioactive label. In some embodiments, the label is a fluorescent marker, e.g., FITC, phycobiliprotein, e.g., R- or B-phycoerythrin, allophycocyanin, AlexaFluor dye, Cy3, Cy5, Cy7, luminescent marker, 125 I or 32 The group consists of a radioactive label such as P, an enzyme such as horseradish peroxidase or alkaline phosphatase, or an alkaline phosphatase, such as alkaline shrimp phosphatase.
[0153] In some embodiments, as used herein, “fluorescent protein” includes, but is not limited to, Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP), red fluorescent protein (RFP), structural variants of GFP (i.e., cyclic displacement, monomeric form), folding variants of GFP (i.e., more soluble form, superfolder form), spectral variants of GFP (i.e., YFP, CFP), and GFP-like fluorescent proteins (i.e., Dsked). The term “GFP-like fluorescent protein” is used to refer to members of Anthozoa fluorescent proteins that share the 11-beta-chain barrel structure of GFP as well as its structure, folding, and spectral variants. “GFP-like non-fluorescent protein” and “GFP-like chromogenic protein” (or simply “chromogenic protein” or “pigment protein”) are used to refer to anthozoan and hydrozoan chromogenic proteins that share the 11-beta-chain barrel structure of GFP as well as its structure, folding, and spectral variants.
[0154] In some embodiments, covalent binding is detected by a Western blot-based shift assay. A "Western blot-based shift assay" is defined as an assay in which a sample is performed via a Western blotting method well known to those skilled in the art. Covalent proteins then shift compared to non-covalent bands, allowing the amount of covalent binding to be tracked based on the target shift. The bands can be quantified using densitometry, and the relative abundance of the bands can be used to determine the quantitative amount of covalent labeling.
[0155] In some embodiments, covalent binding is detected by an ELISA assay. In some embodiments, covalent binding is detected by ELISA assay 1. "ELISA assay 1" is defined as an assay in which a solubilization solution containing a biotin-labeled drug is immobilized on a solid support via hybridization with monomeric or tetrameric streptavidin or streptavidin variants or molecules that bind to biotin. After immobilization of the drug, a detection antibody is added to detect the drug target of interest. The detection antibody may be covalently bound to an enzyme, or it may be detected itself by a secondary antibody linked to an enzyme or fluorescent label, through a bioconjugated reaction. Between each step, the plate is washed with solution to remove any nonspecifically bound proteins or antibodies. After the final washing step, the plate is developed by adding an enzyme substrate to generate a visible signal indicating the amount of covalent drug binding to the target of interest. The amount of covalent binding can be tracked based on the amount of signal.
[0156] In some embodiments, covalent binding is detected by ELISA assay 2. "ELISA assay 2" is defined as an assay immobilized on a solid support via hybridization with an antibody that binds to the target of interest. After immobilizing the target of interest, a detection antibody, monomeric / tetrameric streptavidin, or streptavidin variant is added to detect the drug bound to the target of interest. The detection antibody, monomeric / tetrameric streptavidin, or streptavidin variant may be covalently bound to an enzyme or fluorescent label, or may be detected by a secondary antibody linked to the enzyme or fluorescent label by a bioconjugated reaction. Between each step, the plate is washed with solution to remove any residues. Removes any specifically bound proteins or antibodies. After the final washing step, the plate is developed by adding an enzyme substrate to generate a visible signal, or by directly measuring the fluorescence signal to indicate the amount of covalent drug binding to the target of interest. The amount of covalent binding can be tracked based on the amount of signal.
[0157] In some embodiments, covalent binding is detected by an antibody array. An “antibody array” is defined as a system in which individual or multiple antibodies are bound to a solid support, enabling the detection of target proteins bound to those antibodies and molecules bound to those target proteins. An antibody microarray consists of a series of individual dots or wells in which a specific antibody is hybridized to each dot or well (as described in U.S. Patent No. 20120231963A1, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety). A bound purified or unpurified solubilized solution is added to the “antibody microarray” to enable the separation of different proteins, the localization of specific proteins to antibody-binding partners, or the washing of additional proteins. Labeled target molecules are detected in each microarray dot or well to determine the amount of covalent binding of the target molecule to a specific protein or multiple proteins by detecting the presence of biotin-labeled molecules and revealing the labeling level. The labeling level at each dot indicates the amount of covalent labeling of the specific protein hybridized to the specific antibody. Biotin labeling on molecules can be detected by adding a fluorescent molecule or luminescent enzyme that binds to the label, including but not limited to techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as fluorescence, luminescence, FRET, or BRET assays. This readout can be detected using approaches known to those skilled in the art, including but not limited to fluorescence or luminescence detection schemes.
[0158] In some embodiments, the solubilization solution is labeled with biotin to produce a biotinylated compound. In some embodiments, streptavidin is added to bind to the biotinylated compound. In some embodiments, streptavidin is a monomer. In some embodiments, the biotinylated compound is produced by click chemistry. In some embodiments, the compound is labeled by click chemistry after treatment with ARCS, cell isolation, and cell lysis. In some embodiments, the click chemistry reagent contains picolyl azide.
[0159] As used herein, the term “click chemistry” refers to the Huisgen cycloaddition reaction or the 2,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between an azide and a terminal alkyne, forming a 1,2,4-triazole. As used herein, the term “cycloaddition reaction” refers to a chemical reaction in which two or more π-electron systems (e.g., unsaturated molecules or unsaturated moieties of the same molecule) are joined to form a cyclic product with a net decrease in bond multiplicity. In a cycloaddition reaction, a new sigma bond is formed using π electrons. The product of the π electrons is called an “adduct” or “cycloadduct.” Different types of cycloaddition reactions are known in the art, including but not limited to [3+2] cycloaddition reactions and Diels-Alder reactions. [3+2] cycloaddition reactions, also called 2,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, occur between a 1,3-dipolar and a parent dipolar and are commonly used to construct five-membered heterocycles. The term "[3+2] cycloaddition reaction" also includes "copper-free" [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between azides, cyclooctin derivatives and difluorocyclooctin, as described by Bertozzi et al., J.Am.Chem.Soc., 2004, 126:15046-15047. Any reagent that can be used to facilitate the hysgen cycloaddition reaction can be used as the click chemistry reagent. In some embodiments, the click chemistry reagent comprises pyridyl azide. In some embodiments, the click chemistry reagent comprises pyridyl azide. Any isomer of pyridyl azide may be used, but is not limited to these.

Treating a disease, disorder, or condition can include improving at least one symptom of a particular disease, disorder, or condition, even if the underlying pathophysiology is not affected, for example, treating pain in a subject by administering an analgesic, even if the analgesic does not treat the cause of the pain.
[0175] As used herein, “target” means the site to which ARCS, FCB and / or CLM bind. The target may be either in vivo or in vitro. In certain embodiments, the target may be cancer cells found in leukemia or tumors (e.g., tumors of the brain, lungs (small cell and non-small cell), ovaries, prostate, breast and colon, as well as other cancers and sarcomas). The target may be a type of tissue, such as nerve tissue, intestinal tissue, pancreatic tissue, liver, kidney, prostate, ovaries, lungs, bone marrow, or breast tissue.
[0176] "Target cells" that can function as targets for therapeutic conjugates are generally animal cells, such as mammalian cells. The methods of the present invention can be used to modify the cellular function of living cells that form part of animal tissue or are otherwise present in animal tissue in vitro, i.e., in cell culture or in vivo. Accordingly, target cells can include, for example, blood, lymphoid tissue, cells lining the digestive tract such as oral and pharyngeal mucosa, cells that form the ciliary body of the small intestine, cells lining the large intestine, cells lining the animal respiratory system (nasal cavity / lungs) (which may be in contact by inhalation of the target), skin / epidermal cells, vaginal and rectal cells, placental cells, and visceral cells including the so-called blood-brain barrier.
[0177] The term "therapeutic effect" is as recognized in the art and refers to a topical or systemic effect caused by a pharmacologically active substance in animals, particularly mammals, and more specifically, humans. Therefore, the term means any substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, alleviation, treatment or prevention of disease, or in enhancing desirable physical or mental development and condition in animals or humans.

[0183] Where used interchangeably herein, the terms “sufficient” and “effective” refer to the amount (e.g., mass, volume, dose, concentration, and / or duration) required to achieve one or more desired results. “Therapeutic effective dose” is the minimum concentration required to produce a measurable improvement or prevention of at least one symptom-specific condition or disorder, a measurable increase in life expectancy, or generally an improvement in the patient’s quality of life. Thus, the therapeutic effective dose depends on the specific bioactive molecule and the specific condition or disorder being treated. The therapeutic effective doses of many activators, such as antibodies, are known in the art. For example, to treat a particular disorder, the therapeutic effective dose of the compounds and compositions described herein can be determined by art that is within the scope of the art of those skilled in the art, such as physicians.
[0184] The term "prodrug" refers to a drug containing nucleic acids or proteins that are converted into a biologically active form in vitro and / or in vivo. In some situations, prodrugs may be useful because they are easier to administer than the parent compound. For example, a prodrug may be biologically available by oral administration, while the parent compound is not. Prodrugs may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions compared to the parent drug. Prodrugs may be converted to the parent drug by various mechanisms, including enzymatic processes and metabolic hydrolysis.

Similarly, in some embodiments, cycloalkyls have 3 to 10 carbon atoms in the ring structure, for example, having 5, 6, or 7 carbon atoms in the ring structure. As used herein, in the examples and throughout the claims, the term “alkyl” (or “lower alkyl”) is intended to include both “unsubstituted alkyl” and “substituted alkyl,” the latter referring to an alkyl moiety having one or more substituents that substitute hydrogen at one or more carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon skeleton. Such substituents include, but are not limited to, halogens, hydroxyls, carbonyls (such as carboxyls, alkoxycarbonyls, formyl or acyls), thiocarbonyls (such as thioesters, thioacetates or thioformates), alkoxyls, phosphoryls, phosphoric acids, phosphonic acids, phosphinic acids, aminos, amides, amidines, imines, cyanos, nitros, azides, sulfhydryls, alkylthios, sulfuric acids, sulfonic acids, sulfamoyls, sulfonamidesulfonyls, heterocyclyls, aralkyls, or aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties.

In some embodiments, the substituent is selected from cyano, halogen, hydroxyl, and nitro.
[0212] The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” generally refer to polymers of amino acid residues. As used herein, these terms also apply to amino acid polymers in which one or more amino acids are chemical analogs or modified derivatives of corresponding naturally occurring amino acids. The term “protein,” as commonly used herein, refers to a polymer of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds, forming polypeptides whose chain length is sufficient to create tertiary and / or quaternary structures. The term “protein” excludes small peptides by definition, as small peptides lack the higher-order structures necessary to be considered proteins.
[0213] A “functional fragment” of a protein, polypeptide, or nucleic acid is a protein, polypeptide, or nucleic acid whose sequence is not identical to that of the full-length protein, polypeptide, or nucleic acid, but which retains at least one function of the full-length protein, polypeptide, or nucleic acid. A functional fragment may have more, fewer, or the same number of residues as the corresponding native molecule, and / or may contain one or more amino acid or nucleotide substitutions. Methods for determining the function of a nucleic acid (e.g., coding function, ability to hybridize to another nucleic acid) are well known in the art. Similarly, methods for determining the function of a protein are well known. For example, the DNA-binding function of a polypeptide can be determined, for example, by filter binding, electrophoretic mobility shift, etc. This can be determined by immunoprecipitation assays. DNA cleavage can be assayed by gel electrophoresis. The ability of a protein to interact with another protein can be determined, for example, by co-immunoprecipitation, bihybrid assays, or complementarity, for example, genetically or biochemically. See, for example, Fields et al. (1989) Nature 340:245-246, U.S. Patent No. 5,585,245 and PCT Patent No. 98 / 44350.
[0214] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable counterion" refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or cation. In various embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable counterion is a pharmaceutically acceptable ion. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable counterions include citrate, malate, acetate, oxalate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphoric acid, phosphate, isonicotinic acid, acetate, lactate, salicylate, tartrate, oleate, tannate, pantothenate, bicarbonate, ascorbate, succinate, maleate, gentisinate, fumarate, gluconate, glucaronate, saccharate, formate, benzoate, glutamate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, and benzenesulfonate. The counterions are selected from folates, p-toluenesulfonates, and pamoates (i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate)). In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable counterions are selected from chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, sulfates, disulfates, phosphates, acid phosphates, citrates, malates, acetates, oxalates, acetates, and lactates. In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable counterions are selected from chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, sulfates, disulfates, and phosphates.
[0215] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt of an acidic or basic group that may be present in the compounds used in the compositions of the present invention. Compounds included in the compositions of the present invention that are basic in nature can form a wide variety of salts with various inorganic and organic acids. Acids that can be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of such basic compounds are acids that form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing a pharmaceutically acceptable anion, and are not limited to, sulfates, citrates, malates, acetates, oxalates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, nitrates, sulfates, disulfates, phosphates, acid phosphates, isonicotinates, acetates, lactates, salicylates, citrates, tartrates, oleates, tannates, pantothenates, hydrogen tartrates, ascorbic acid, succinates, maleates, gentisates, fumarates, glucons, glucarones, saccharates, formates, benzoates, and glucons. The compounds in the compositions of the present invention, which include tamate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and pamoate (i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoate) salts), can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts having various amino acids in addition to the acids described above. Compounds in the compositions of the present invention, which are acidic in nature, can form basic salts with various pharmaceutically acceptable cations. Examples of such salts include alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts, particularly calcium, magnesium, sodium, lithium, zinc, potassium, and iron salts.
[0216] When the compounds described herein are obtained as acid addition salts, the free base can be obtained by basicizing a solution of the acid acid. Conversely, when the product is a free base, the addition salt, in particular a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, can be prepared by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, following conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art are aware of the various synthetic methodologies that can be used to prepare non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
[0217] The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are 1-hydroxy-2-naphthic acid, 2,2-dichloroacetic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, 2-oxoglutamic acid, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, 4-aminosalicylic acid, acetic acid, adipic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, benzoic acid, camphoric acid, camphor-10-sulfonic acid, capric acid (decanoic acid), caproic acid (hexanoic acid), caprylic acid (octanoic acid), carbonic acid, cinnamic acid, citric acid, cyclamic acid, dodecyl sulfate, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, galactaric acid, gentisic acid, glucoheptonic acid, gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, glutamic acid, glutaric acid, glycerophosphoric acid, glycolic acid, hippuric acid, bromide It can be produced in chloroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, isethionic acid, isobutyric acid, lactic acid, lactobionic acid, lauric acid, maleic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, mucus, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, nicotinic acid, nitric acid, oleic acid, oxalic acid, palmitic acid, pamoic acid, pantothenic acid, phosphoric acid, proprionic acid, pyroglutamic acid, salicylic acid, sebacic acid, stearic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, tartaric acid, thiocyanic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, and undecylenic acid.
[0218] As used herein, the term “assay” refers to a set of activities related to the reported results, which may include, but are not limited to, cell seeding, preparation of test material, infection, lysis, analysis, and calculation of results.
[0219] As used herein, the term “detectable response” refers to the occurrence or change of a signal that can be detected directly or indirectly by either observation or measurement means. Typically, a detectable response is the occurrence of a signal, where a fluorophore is inherently fluorescent and does not produce a change in signal when bound to a metal ion or biological compound. Alternatively, a detectable response is an optical response resulting in a change in wavelength distribution pattern or absorbance or fluorescence intensity, or a change in light scattering, fluorescence lifetime, fluorescence polarization, or a combination of the above parameters. Other detectable responses include, for example, chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, radiation from radioisotopes, magnetic attraction, and electron density.
[0220] Naturally, the following embodiments are illustrative but not limiting to the present disclosure. Various other embodiments and modifications to the foregoing description and examples will be apparent to those skilled in the art after reading the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and all such examples or modifications are intended to be included in the appended claims. All publications and patents referenced herein are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference. [Examples]
[0221] Example 1: General synthesis of ARCS The ARCSs of this disclosure can be synthesized by those skilled in the art using common chemical synthesis principles and techniques. In a reasonable approach, ARCSs are constructed from their individual components, namely therapeutic modalities, optional linkers, and covalent modalities. The components may be covalently bonded to one another via functional groups, as known in the art, and such functional groups may be present on the components or introduced onto them using one or more steps. Functional groups that can be used to covalently bond components together to produce ARCSs include, but are not limited to, hydroxyl, sulfhydryl, or amino groups. Certain parts of different components that are modified to provide covalent bonding are selected, for example, for a covalent modality, so as not to substantially adversely affect the desired bonding activity of that component, and the areas that do not affect covalent activity are modified so as to retain a sufficient amount of the desired activity. Where necessary and / or desired, certain parts on a component may be protected using blocking groups known in the art; see, for example, Green & Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (John Wiley & Sons) (1991).
[0222] Alternatively, ARCS may be prepared using well-known combinatorial methods to create a large library of ARCS, which may then be screened to identify molecules that form covalent bonds with targets having a desired pharmacokinetic profile.
[0223] Example 2: General synthesis of compounds 1-1 to 1-172 Compounds 1-1 to 1-172 of this disclosure can be synthesized by those skilled in the art using common chemical synthesis principles and techniques. The chemistry is as described in Example 1 of U.S. Patent No. 9,724,352B2, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0224] Compound 1-IV, a precursor to many compounds 1-1 to 1-172, can be prepared as shown in Scheme 1. As described in U.S. Patent No. 9,724,352, the starting pyrrole (1-I) can be reacted with the aldehyde (1-II) to form the intermediate (1-III). Morphorino compound 1-IV is formed by reducing compounds (1-III) with phosphorus oxychloride to provide a Cl leaving group, which can then be substituted by the addition of morpholine. If R6' in 1-IV is a nitro group, it can be reduced to the corresponding NH2 group by reacting with C / Pd under an H2 atmosphere. The amine can then be further reacted with a suitable ester (e.g., dimethyl carbonate) or activated ester (e.g., methyl chloroformate) to form the methyl carbamate of the compound, or with an isocyanate (e.g., methyl isocyanate) to obtain urea compound 1-V. Scheme 1 [ka]
[0225] To obtain piperazinyl compounds (e.g., compounds 1-11 and 1-12), it may be advantageous to modify the methyl ester moiety of compound 1-IV and then convert R6' to the final R6 group. As mentioned above, if R6' of 1-IV is a nitro group, it can be reduced to the corresponding NH2 group by Pd / C under an H2 atmosphere. As shown in Scheme 2, the methyl ester of 1-IV is hydrolyzed (e.g., 2M aqueous NaOH in EtOH), and the resulting acid is t in the presence of a base (e.g., K2CO3) By reacting with ert-butylpiperazine-1-carboxylic acid (1-BOC-piperazine), a BOC-piperazinyl compound can be obtained. Then, the carbonyl moiety remaining after the addition of piperazinyl (e.g., borane-dimethyl sulfide) is reduced to obtain a protected piperazinyl compound 1-VI. Next, the amine group of compound 1-VI is further reacted with a suitable ester (e.g., dimethyl carbonate) or an activated ester (e.g., methyl chloroformate) to form the methyl carbamate of compound 1-V, or reacted with an isocyanate (e.g., methyl isocyanate) to obtain urea compound 1-VII. A (See, for example, the groups of compounds 1-105 and 1-106.) The amine group of compound 1-VI can also be protected if it is the final desired group (not shown) (see compound 1-121). After the desired X group is added, the amino protecting group can be removed to obtain the final product. For example, by using N-acetyl-piperazine instead of N-BOC-piperazine, an N-acetyl protecting group can be obtained in compound 1-VI. The amino group of compound 1-VI can then be protected with an N-BOC group, which is more stable than N-acetyl. Compound 1-VI can then be modified with the X group and the N-BOC can be removed to leave the final amino group. Scheme 2 [ka]
[0226] Additional starting compounds 1-III A-C (See compounds 1-101 to 1-172) can be prepared as shown in Scheme 3. These starting compounds can then be modified as described herein. Scheme 3 [ka]
[0227] The X group of this disclosure (see, for example, compounds 1-101 to 1-172) can be bonded as shown in Scheme 4. The BOC protecting group of compound 1-VII (or the acetyl described above) can be removed via acid hydrolysis (e.g., HCl in methanol) to obtain compound 1-VIII. The piperazinyl group of compound 1-VIII can then be bonded appropriately in the presence of a base (e.g., K2CO3 or dimethylaminopyridine). Esters (e.g., 1-IX and 1-IX) A For this, CH2=CHC(O)(CH2)2C(O)OCH3 or its acid or activating acid can be used) to react with the final compound 1-IX (compound 1-101) or compound 1-IX A Compound 1-105 can be obtained. If the X group contains a moiety that can react under amide-forming conditions, a protected X' group (e.g., a protected terminal amine) may be used, which can then be deprotected and modified to reach the desired final compound (e.g., the terminal amine can be deprotected and then react with a suitable ester or acid to form the final amide with respect to X). Scheme 4 [ka]
[0228] Example 3: Synthesis of Compound 1-102 Compounds 1-XXII and 1-XXV, which are intermediates for many of the compounds 1-101 to 1-172, can be prepared as shown in Scheme 5. Precursor compounds 1-XXXII and 1-102 can be synthesized as shown in Scheme 6. The remaining compounds can be synthesized in a similar manner. Scheme 5 [ka] Scheme 6 [ka]
[0229] Example 4: General method for screening ARCS The ARCSs of this disclosure can be synthesized by those skilled in the art using common chemical synthesis principles and techniques. Alternatively, ARCSs can be prepared using known combinatorial methods to create large libraries of ARCSs. The ARCSs of this disclosure can also be synthesized as shown in Examples 1-3. ARCSs that covalently bind to biological targets on target cells can then be screened by gel assay, Western blot, ELISA, antibody array, or NanoBRET assay.
[0230] Example 5: Transfection protocol and reading for NanoBRET screening of ARCS Human embryonic kidney 293-H (HEK 293, Gibco 293-H, #11631017) cell lines are maintained in a water-saturated incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium, high glucose, pyruvate (DMEM, Gibco, #11995065) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco, #10082147) and 1× penicillin-streptomycin (100× solution, Gibco, #15140148). Cells are trypsinized using 0.05% or 0.25% trypsin-EDTA solution (trypsin-EDTA, phenol red, Gibco, #25200056 (0.25%) or #25300054). Opti-MEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Opti-MEM I reduced serum medium, without phenol red, Gibco, #11058021) is used to culture cells overnight for NanoBRET reading experiments.
[0231] HEK293 cells are properly cultured before assay. The medium is removed from the cell flask by aspiration, washed once with PBS, then aspiration, trypsinized, and the cells are dissociated from the flask. The trypsin is neutralized using growth medium, and the cells are pelleted by centrifugation at 200 × g for 5 minutes. The medium is aspirated, and the cells are resuspended in a single cell suspension using Opti-MEM I supplemented with 10% FBS. The cell density is 2 × 10⁶ in Opti-MEM I supplemented with 10% FBS in a sterile conical tube. 5 The solution is adjusted to / mL. The cells are transfected and, the following day, directly aliquoted into 96-well plates for the NanoBRET assay, thus allowing the cells to be cultured overnight in Opti-MEM. The cells are also transfected in large quantities and dispensed into 96-well plates, allowing the cells to adhere to the plates overnight, thereby enabling the wash test.
[0232] Lipid:DNA complexes are prepared as follows:
[0233] A 10 μg / mL solution of DNA is prepared in serum-free Opti-MEM. This solution contains the carrier DNA encoding NanoLuc fused to the following biological targets in the following ratios. A serial dilution step may be ensured to accurately dilute the NanoLuc fusion DNA. In order, the following reagents were added to a sterile polystyrene test tube: 1 mL of Opti-MEM without phenol red; 9.0 μg / mL of carrier DNA; 1.0 μg / mL of NanoLuc fusion DNA (a smaller amount for some targets). The reagents were thoroughly mixed.
[0234] Add 30 μL of FuGENE HD to each mL of DNA mixture to form a lipid:DNA complex. Carefully pipette FuGENE HD directly into the liquid in the tube, ensuring that it does not touch the plastic side of the tube. Mix 5-10 times by pipetting up and down, and incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes to form the complex. Take a portion of the lipid:DNA complex (e.g., 1 mL) and divide it into 2 × 10⁻¹⁶ units. 5Mix 20 parts (e.g., 20 mL) of HEK293 cells in suspension with the ratio of 1 / mL and gently mix by pipetting up and down 5 times in a sterile conical tube. Larger or smaller bulk transfections are scaled accordingly using this ratio. Dispense 100 μL of cell + lipid:DNA complex into a sterile, tissue-culture-treated 96-well plate (20,000 cells / well) and incubate for at least 16 hours to express. Incubate cells in a 37°C + 5% CO2 incubator for more than 16 hours. Prepare serially diluted inhibitor or test compound at 100 × final concentration in 100% DMSO. Serially diluted inhibitor stocks are prepared on PCR plates. 100 serially diluted inhibitor / test compound Add 1 μL of the test compound per well to cells in a 96-well plate transfected transiently overnight, and mix by gently tapping the plate by hand. Incubate the plate overnight in a 37°C + 5% CO2 incubator. Prepare the appropriate concentrations of the substrate mixture (500X stock) and tracer in Opti-Mem. Wash the cells by setting a plate washer in a 96-well plate 5X in PBS at pH 7.4, adding 200 μL of PBS each time. Incubate the cells at 37°C for 2 hours. Add 100 μL of 1X Substrate-Tracer solution and mix by gently tapping the 96-well plate. Read the plate hourly on a plate reader for the next 6 hours. Several ARCS binding assays are shown below. Compound 1-XXXII formed covalent bonds with approximately 5%–20% of PI3 kinase. ARCS compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds 1-101, 1-102, 1-113, 1-114, 1-119, 1-120, 1-125, and 1-126 formed covalent bonds with approximately 80% to 100% of PI3 kinases. Compounds 1-171 and 1-172 formed covalent bonds with approximately 50% to 80% of PI3 kinases. PI3 kinase activity was inhibited by compound 1-XXXII by approximately 5% to 20%. PI3 kinase activity was inhibited by ARCS compounds selected from the group consisting of compounds 1-101, 1-102, 1-113, 1-114, 1-119, 1-120, 1-125, and 1-126 by approximately 80% to 100%. PI3 kinase activity was inhibited by compounds 1-171 and 1-172 by approximately 50% to 80%. [Table 1]
