[0002] Government subsidies This disclosure was made with government support under grant R01 CA176745 awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention. [Background technology]
[0003] Background of the Invention E3 ubiquitin ligases, in combination with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, are proteins that facilitate the attachment of ubiquitin to lysines on target proteins via an isopeptide bond (e.g., an amide bond that is not present in the protein backbone). Ubiquitination of target proteins leads to their degradation by the proteasome.
[0004] There is still a need to identify compounds that can effectively promote the degradation of target proteins (such as DOT1L) that are known to be associated with certain pathological conditions, such as proliferative diseases and cancer.DOT1L is known to be associated with certain pathological conditions, such as proliferative diseases and cancer.In particular, compounds that can utilize the cellular mechanisms involved in protein homeostasis (such as ubiquitination and proteasome degradation) to target the degradation of certain proteins may be useful as therapeutic agents.There is a need for compounds that can both target the target protein DOT1L and bind to E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby inducing the degradation of the target protein DOT1L by proteasome. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Summary of the Invention The present disclosure stems from the recognition that a selected target protein (e.g., DOT1L) is associated with a particular disease (e.g., a proliferative disease, cancer). Based on this recognition, targeting a selected protein and using an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety (e.g., lenalidomide, thalidomide) results in ubiquitination of the selected target protein DOT1L, thereby leading to its degradation by the proteasome. DOT1L has been found to be associated with certain pathological conditions, such as proliferative diseases and cancers (e.g., cancers associated with specific mutations (e.g., mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-rearranged acute myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia with a mutation in the nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene, acute myeloid leukemia with a mutation in the DNMT3A gene); or cancers resistant to proteasome inhibitors).

[0034] "Heteroaryl" refers to a group of 5-10-membered monocyclic or bicyclic 4n+2 aromatic ring systems (e.g., having 6 or 10 π electrons shared within the cyclic arrangement) having ring carbon atoms and 1-4 ring heteroatoms, each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. In heteroaryl groups containing one or more nitrogen atoms, the point of attachment may be at a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, as long as valency allows. Heteroaryl of bicyclic ring systems can contain one or more heteroatoms in one or both rings. "Heteroaryl" encompasses ring systems in which a heteroaryl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more carbocyclyl or heterocyclyl groups, and the point of attachment is on the heteroaryl ring; in such cases, the number of ring members is followed by the number of ring members of the heteroaryl ring system. "Heteroaryl" also includes ring systems in which a heteroaryl ring, as defined above, is fused to one or more aryl groups, and the point of attachment is on either the aryl or the heteroaryl ring; in such cases, the number of ring members refers to the number of ring members in the fused (aryl / heteroaryl) ring system. Bicyclic heteroaryl groups in which one ring does not contain a heteroatom (e.g., indolyl, quinolinyl, carbazolyl, etc.) can have the point of attachment on either ring, i.e., on the ring bearing the heteroatom (e.g., 2-indolyl) or on the ring without the heteroatom (e.g., 5-indolyl).
[0035] In some embodiments, a heteroaryl group is a 5- to 10-membered aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1-4 ring heteroatoms, each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (a "5- to 10-membered heteroaryl"). In some embodiments, a heteroaryl group is a 5- to 8-membered aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1-4 ring heteroatoms, each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (a "5- to 8-membered heteroaryl"). In some embodiments, a heteroaryl group is a 5- to 6-membered aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1-4 ring heteroatoms, each independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (a "5- to 6-membered heteroaryl"). In some embodiments, a 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl has 1-3 ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. In some embodiments, the 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl has 1 to 2 ring heteroatoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. In some embodiments, the 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl has 1 ring heteroatom selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. Unless otherwise specified, the heteroaryl group at each occurrence is independently optionally substituted, i.e., unsubstituted ("unsubstituted heteroaryl") or substituted with one or more substituents ("substituted heteroaryl"). In certain embodiments, the heteroaryl group is an unsubstituted 5- to 14-membered heteroaryl. In certain embodiments, the heteroaryl group is a substituted 5- to 14-membered heteroaryl.

[0037] "Heteroaralkyl" is a subset of alkyl and heteroaryl and refers to an optionally substituted alkyl group substituted by an optionally substituted heteroaryl group.
[0038] "Unsaturated" or "partially unsaturated" refers to a group that contains at least one double or triple bond. A "partially unsaturated" ring system is further intended to encompass rings with multiple sites of unsaturation, but is not intended to contain aromatic groups (e.g., aryl or heteroaryl groups). Similarly, "saturated" refers to a group that does not contain double or triple bonds, i.e., all bonds contained therein are single bonds.
[0039] The divalent bridging alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl groups are further referred to with the suffix -ene, e.g., alkylene, alkenylene, alkynylene, carbocyclylene, heterocyclylene, arylene, and heteroarylene.
[0040] Unless explicitly stated otherwise, atoms, moieties, or groups described herein may be unsubstituted or substituted where valences allow. The term "optionally substituted" indicates substituted or unsubstituted.
[0041] Groups are optionally substituted unless expressly stated otherwise. The term "optionally substituted" refers to substituted or unsubstituted. In certain embodiments, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbocyclyl, heterocyclyl, aryl, and heteroaryl groups are optionally substituted (e.g., "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkenyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" alkynyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" carbocyclyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" heterocyclyl, "substituted" or "unsubstituted" aryl, or "substituted" or "unsubstituted" heteroaryl groups). In general, the term "substituted," whether preceded by the term "optionally" or not, means that at least one hydrogen atom present on a group (e.g., a carbon atom or nitrogen atom) is replaced with an acceptable substituent, e.g., a substituent that, upon substitution, results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc., or other reaction. Unless otherwise specified, a "substituted" group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituents are either the same or different at each position. The term "substituted" is intended to encompass substitution with any acceptable substituent of an organic compound, any substituent described herein that results in the formation of a stable compound. The present disclosure contemplates any and all such combinations that result in stable compounds. For purposes of the present disclosure, heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, may have hydrogen substituents and / or any suitable substituents as described herein that satisfy the valence of the heteroatom and result in the formation of a stable moiety. In certain embodiments, the substituent is a carbon atom substituent. In certain embodiments, the substituent is a nitrogen atom substituent. In certain embodiments, the substituent is an oxygen atom substituent. In certain embodiments, the substituent is a sulfur atom substituent.

Butts, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1999, incorporated herein by reference.
[0054] As used herein, "leaving group" (LG) is an art-recognized term that refers to a molecular fragment that departs with an electron pair in a heterolytic bond cleavage, where the molecular fragment is an anion or a neutral molecule. As used herein, a leaving group can be an atom or group that can be displaced by a nucleophile. See, for example, Smith, March Advanced Organic Chemistry, 6th Edition (501-502). Exemplary leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halo (e.g., chloro, bromo, iodo) and activated substituted hydroxyl groups (e.g., -OC(=O)SR aa , -OC(=O)R aa , -OCO2R aa , -OC(=O)N(R bb)2, -OC(=NR bb )R aa , -OC(=NR bb ) OR aa , -OC(=NR bb )N(R bb )2, -OS(=O)R aa , -OSO2R aa , -OP(R cc )2, -OP(R cc )3, -OP(=O)2R aa , -OP(=O)(R aa )2, -OP(=O)(OR cc )2, -OP(=O)2N(R bb )2 and -OP(=O)(NR bb )2, where R aa , R bb and R cc are as defined herein).
[0055] "Hydrocarbon chain" refers to a substituted or unsubstituted divalent alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group. The hydrocarbon chain includes (1) one or more adjacent carbon atom chains between two atomic groups of the hydrocarbon chain; (2) optionally, one or more hydrogen atoms on the carbon atom chain(s); and (3) optionally, one or more substituents ("non-chain substituents" that are not hydrogen) on the carbon atom chain(s). The carbon atom chain consists of carbon atoms ("chain atoms") that are bonded consecutively and does not include hydrogen atoms or heteroatoms. However, the hydrocarbon chain of a non-chain substituent can include any atom, such as hydrogen atoms, carbon atoms, and heteroatoms. For example, the hydrocarbon chain -C A H(C B H2C C H3)- is one chain atom C A , C A One hydrogen atom and a non-chain substituent -(C B H2C C H3), where x is a positive integer. xThe term "hydrocarbon chain" refers to a hydrocarbon chain containing x atoms in the chain (or atoms) between two atomic groups of the hydrocarbon chain. If there is more than one possible value for x, the smallest possible value of x is used to define the hydrocarbon chain. For example, -CH(C2H5)- is a C1 hydrocarbon chain; [ka] is a C3 hydrocarbon chain. When a range of values is used, the meaning of the range is as defined herein. For example, C 3~10 The hydrocarbon chain refers to a hydrocarbon chain in which the number of atoms in the shortest carbon atom chain adjacent between two atomic groups in the hydrocarbon chain is 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. The hydrocarbon chain can be saturated (e.g., -(CH2)4-). The hydrocarbon chain can also be unsaturated and can contain one or more C=C bonds and / or C≡C bonds anywhere in the hydrocarbon chain. For example, -CH=CH-(CH2)2-, -CH2-C≡C-CH2-, and -C≡C-CH=CH- are all examples of unsubstituted unsaturated hydrocarbon chains. In certain embodiments, the hydrocarbon chain is unsubstituted (e.g., -C≡C- or -(CH2)4-). In certain embodiments, the hydrocarbon chain is substituted (e.g., -CH(C2H5)- and -CF2-). Any two substituents on the hydrocarbon chain may be joined to form an optionally substituted carbocyclyl, an optionally substituted heterocyclyl, an optionally substituted aryl, or an optionally substituted heteroaryl ring, for example: [ka] are all examples of hydrocarbon chains. In contrast, in some particular embodiments, [ka] is not included in the scope of hydrocarbon chains described herein. x When an intrachain atom of a hydrocarbon chain is replaced with a heteroatom, the resulting group is C x-1C, which is not a hydrocarbon chain but has atoms in the chain replaced with heteroatoms x These are called hydrocarbon chains. For example, [ka] is a C3 hydrocarbon chain in which one atom in the chain has been replaced by an oxygen atom.
[0056] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt that, within the scope of sound medical judgment, is suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, etc., and is commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are reported in detail by Berge et al. in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acid addition salts are salts of amino groups formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or by other methods known in the art, such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N-methyl-N ... + (C 1~4 Alkyl)4 -Representative alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, formed where appropriate with counterions such as halides, hydroxides, carboxylates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, lower alkyl sulfonates, and aryl sulfonates.
[0057] As used herein, use of the phrase "at least one instance" refers to 1, 2, 3, 4 or more instances, but also encompasses ranges such as 1-4, 1-3, 1-2, 2-4, 2-3 or 3-4 instances, inclusive.
[0058] A "non-hydrogen group" refers to any group defined for a particular variable that is not hydrogen.
[0059] These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the detailed description, examples, and claims. The present invention is not intended to be limited in any way by the above exemplary list of substituents.
[0060] Other definitions The following definitions are of more general terms used throughout this application.
[0061] The term "solvate" refers to a compound or its salt form that is associated with a solvent, usually through solvolysis. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Common solvents that can form solvates include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, etc. The compounds described herein may be prepared, for example, in crystalline form, and solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, and further include both stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric solvates. In some cases, the solvate may be isolated, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" includes both liquid-phase solvates and isolable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0062] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound associated with water. Typically, the number of water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is a constant ratio to the number of compound molecules in the hydrate. Thus, a hydrate of a compound can be represented, for example, by the general formula R·xH2O, where R is the compound and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 but less than 1, e.g., hemihydrate (R·0.5H2O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrate (R·2H2O) and hexahydrate (R·6H2O)).
[0063] The terms "tautomer" or "tautomeric" refer to two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one formal shift of a hydrogen atom and at least one valence (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of tautomers depends on several factors, such as temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerization (i.e., the reaction resulting in a tautomeric pair) can be catalyzed by acids or bases. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto to enol, amide to imide, lactam to lactim, enamine to imine, and enamine to (different enamine) tautomerization.
[0064] It will also be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers." Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers."
[0065] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed "diastereomers," and those that are not superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers." When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. Enantiomers can be characterized by the absolute configuration of their asymmetric center, as indicated by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the way the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light, designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers, respectively). Chiral compounds can exist as either individual enantiomers or mixtures thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture."
[0066] The term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or its salt, hydrate, or solvate). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystalline form to predominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[0074] The terms "administer," "administering," or "administration" refer to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into a subject a compound described herein or a composition thereof.
[0075] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset, or preventing the progression of a disease as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of a disease have appeared or been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of a disease. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject before symptoms appear (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.
[0076] The terms "condition," "disease," and "disorder" are used interchangeably.
[0077] The "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to induce a desired biological response. The effective amount of a compound described herein may vary depending on factors such as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition to be treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is a prophylactic treatment amount. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is the amount of a compound described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, the effective amount is the total amount of a compound described herein in multiple doses.
[0078] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound refers to an amount of a therapeutic agent that, alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents, provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall treatment, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of a condition, and / or enhances the therapeutic effectiveness of another therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to bind to (and / or induce degradation of) a target (e.g., a protein (e.g., DOT1L)).
[0079] A "prophylactically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to prevent a disease state or one or more signs or symptoms associated with the disease state, or to prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound refers to the amount of a therapeutic agent that, alone or in combination with other agents, provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of a disease state. The term "prophylactically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall prevention or enhances the prophylactic effectiveness of another prophylactic agent. In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient to bind to a target (e.g., a protein (e.g., DOT1L). In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient to treat a disease (e.g., a proliferative disease (e.g., cancer)). In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient to bind to a target (e.g., a protein (e.g., DOT1L) and / or induce degradation of the target (e.g., a protein (e.g., DOT1L)), and treat a disease (e.g., a proliferative disease (e.g., cancer)).
[0080] "Proliferative disease" refers to a disease caused by abnormal proliferation of cells or widespread cell growth (Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of Biology; Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990). Proliferative diseases can be associated with: 1) pathological proliferation of normal, dormant cells; 2) pathological migration of cells from their usual location (e.g., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., collagenase, gelatinase, and elastase); or 4) pathological angiogenesis, as in proliferative retinopathies and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative diseases include cancer (i.e., "malignant neoplasms"), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
[0081] The term "angiogenesis" refers to the physiological process by which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the de novo formation of endothelial cells from mesodermally derived precursor cells. The first blood vessels in the developing embryo are formed by vasculogenesis, and angiogenesis is subsequently responsible for most vascular growth during normal and abnormal development. Angiogenesis is a vital process during growth and development, as well as during wound healing and granulation tissue formation. However, angiogenesis is also a critical first step in the transition of tumors from a benign to a malignant state, leading to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. Angiogenesis can be chemically stimulated by angiogenic proteins, such as growth factors (e.g., VEGF). "Pathological angiogenesis" refers to aberrant (e.g., excessive or insufficient) angiogenesis that results in and / or is associated with disease.
[0082] The terms "neoplasm" and "tumor" are used interchangeably herein to refer to an abnormal tissue mass in which growth exceeds and is uncoordinated over that of normal tissue. Neoplasms or tumors can be "benign" or "malignant" depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (e.g., morphology and functionality), growth rate, local invasion, and metastasis. "Benign neoplasms" are generally well-differentiated, characteristically grow slower than malignant neoplasms, and remain localized at the site of appearance. Benign neoplasms also lack the ability to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipomas, chondromas, adenomas, soft fibromas, senile hemangiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigines, and sebaceous gland hyperplasia. In some cases, certain "benign" tumors can later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic alterations in a subpopulation of neoplastic cells in the tumor; such tumors are referred to as "premalignant neoplasms." An exemplary premalignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, "malignant neoplasms" are generally poorly differentiated (anaplastic) and characteristically have rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of surrounding tissues. Furthermore, malignant neoplasms generally have the ability to metastasize to distant sites. The terms "metastasis," "metastatic," or "metastasize" refer to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or initial tumor to another organ or tissue, typically identifiable by the presence of a "secondary tumor" or "secondary cell population" of the histological type of the primary or initial tumor, and that the "secondary tumor" or "secondary cell population" is not of the histological type of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is referred to as metastatic prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.
[0083] The term "cancer" refers to a class of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably and have the ability to invade and destroy normal body tissues. See, e.g., Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 25th ed.; Hensyl, ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990. Exemplary cancers include, but are not limited to, hematopoietic malignancies.

[0085] The term "small molecule" refers to a molecule having a relatively low molecular weight, whether naturally occurring or artificially created (e.g., by chemical synthesis). Typically, small molecules are organic compounds (i.e., contain carbon). Small molecules may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other functional groups (e.g., amines, hydroxyls, carbonyls, heterocyclic rings, and the like). In certain embodiments, small molecules have a molecular weight of about 1,000 g / mol or less, about 900 g / mol or less, about 800 g / mol or less, about 700 g / mol or less, about 600 g / mol or less, about 500 g / mol or less, about 400 g / mol or less, about 300 g / mol or less, about 200 g / mol or less, or about 100 g / mol or less.

In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a therapeutically active agent, e.g., a drug (e.g., a molecule approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)). The small molecule may also be complexed with one or more metal atoms and / or metal ions. In this case, the small molecule may also be referred to as an "organometallic small molecule." Preferred small molecules are biologically active in that they produce a biological effect in animals, preferably mammals, and more preferably humans. Small molecules include but are not limited to radionuclides and imaging agents.In some particular embodiments, small molecules are drugs.Preferably, but not necessarily, drugs are already considered safe and effective for human or animal use by appropriate government or regulatory agencies.For example, drugs approved for human use are listed by the FDA under 21 CFR §§ 330.5, 331-361 and 440-460 (incorporated herein by reference); drugs for veterinary use are listed by the FDA under 21 CFR §§ 500-589 (incorporated herein by reference).

DOT1L is a histone methyltransferase that methylates lysine-79 of histone H3. DOT1L is inactive on free core histones but exhibits significant histone methyltransferase activity on nucleosomes.

[Figure 9]Figures 9A-9B show acute myeloid leukemia cells (Molm13 PA) treated with the indicated concentrations of DOT1L-1 for the indicated amounts of time.

[Figure 10] Figures 10A-10B show murine MLL-AF9 PA (mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)-AF9 leukemia) cells treated with the indicated concentrations of DOT1L-1 for the indicated amounts of time. Cells were immunoblotted with DOT1L(D402T), actin, and H3K79me2. Figure 10A shows experiment 1, in which cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of DOT1L-1 (0 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3.3 μM, and 10 μM) for the indicated amounts of time (24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours). Figure 10B shows experiment 2, in which cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of DOT1L-1 (0 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3.3 μM, and 10 μM) for the indicated amounts of time (24 hours and 48 hours). [Figure 11] Figure 11 shows Molm13 PA cells treated with DOT1L-4 at the indicated concentrations (0 μM, 0.3 μM, 1 μM, 3.3 μM, and 10 μM) for the indicated amounts of time (24 h, 48 h, and 72 h). Cells were immunoblotted with DOT1L(D402T), actin, and H3K79me2. These cells demonstrate DOT1L degradation. [Figure 12]Figures 12A-12E show the relative cell proliferation (%) of acute myeloid leukemia cells as demonstrated by treatment of Molm13 PA cells, Molm13 RE cells, and HL60 (as a negative control) cells with various concentrations of exemplary thalidomide-based DOT1L degrader compounds for 10 days.

Figure 12E shows the results for cells treated with the negative control compound EPZ5676. [Figure 13] Figure 13 shows the MLL-rearranged leukemia (mixed lineage leukemia-rearranged leukemia) gene. MLL-rearranged leukemia accounts for 10% of adult leukemias and 70% of infant leukemias. The prognosis is generally poor, and MLL patients often suffer early relapse after treatment with currently used therapies. Rearrangement of the MLL gene, located at 11q23, is a common chromosomal abnormality associated with acute leukemia. [Figure 14] Figure 14A shows wild-type MLL (mixed lineage leukemia) containing a SET domain histone methyltransferase at its C-terminus that catalyzes methylation at lysine 4 of histone 3 (H3K4). Figure 14B shows MLL-rearranged forms with the C-terminal portion replaced by over 70 known fusion patterns, e.g., AF4, AF9, AF6, AF10, ELL, ENL, etc. Such fusion partners recruit DOT1L, which methylates lysine 79 of histone 3 (H3K79). H3K79me2 is a mark associated with active transcriptional elongation. [Figure 15] FIG. 15 shows that DOT1L promotes MLL-r (mixed lineage leukemia-rearranged) leukemia through aberrant H3K79 methylation, which leads to inappropriately increased expression of genes critical for hematopoietic differentiation and leukemogenesis. [Figure 16]Figures 16A-16C show exemplary first-round degraders. Figure 16A shows exemplary linker lengths for exemplary first-round degraders.

[Figure 20]Figure 20 shows a biochemical assay to examine the dimerization of CRBN with DOT1L induced by degraders. This new assay examines whether exemplary compounds can induce the dimerization of CRBN and DOT1L under the conditions set by the biochemical assay. Figure 20 shows that exemplary compounds can simultaneously bind to both proteins. JQ-DD6 produced the strongest signal, indicating that it dimerized the proteins very well. JQ-DD6 also performed very well in these cells.

EOL1 (an acute myeloid (eosinophilic) leukemia cell line) has the highest DOT1L levels among all cell lines, and JQ-DD6 demonstrated robust degradation. JQ-DD7 and JQ-DD8 also demonstrated degradation in the EOL1 cell line. JQ-DD8 demonstrated potential toxicity at 24 hours in EOL1. [Figure 22] Figure 22 shows EOL1 cells treated with exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds JQ-DD2, JQ-DD4, JQ-DD6, JQ-DD7, and JQ-DD8 at the indicated concentrations for 48 hours and immunoblotted with DOT1L, H3K79me2, Myc, actin, and H3.

This shows the time course of DOT1L degradation. For JQ-DD6, this degradation occurred at 16 hours. Maximum degradation occurred at 24 hours. [Figure 24]Figure 24 shows EOL1 cells treated with exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds JQ-DD6, JQ-DD7, and JQ-DD8 at the indicated concentrations for the indicated times and immunoblotted with DOT1L, Myc, H3K79me2, and actin.

Treatment with JQ-DD6 demonstrates degradation. Treatment with JQ-DD7 and JQ-DD8 also demonstrates degradation in the EOL1 cell line. Treatment with JQ-DD8 demonstrates potential toxicity at 24 hours in EOL1. [Figure 25] Figure 25 shows the development of a DOT1L degradation reporting cell line using DOT1L-tagged GFP and mcherry, which can directly report targeted protein degradation (see Sievers et al., Science, 2018). [Figure 26] Figure 26 shows DOT1L degradation using the eGFP-mCherry reporting cell line assay for tested exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds, as well as negative and positive control compounds, at different concentrations [M] (measured by mP [M]) after 24 hours of treatment as indicated.

The eGFP-mCherry reporting cell line was able to report sufficient degradation within 24 hours. The exemplary compound JQ-DD6 showed the strongest signal for DOT1L degradation.

Exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds also degrade IKZF1, a neo-substrate, when immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) bind to CRBN.

The exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds generally exhibit better antiproliferative effects than the inhibitor EPZ5676. The exemplary DOT1L degrader compounds exhibit better antiproliferative effects in cell lines that are DOT1L-dependent but unresponsive to inhibitors. Figures 28A-28B show that DOT1L is eliminated.

[0093] Detailed Description of Some Specific Embodiments of the Invention The bifunctional compounds described herein interact with E3 ubiquitin ligase and the target protein DOT1L. As described herein, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the therapeutic effect may be the result of the degradation, modulation, or binding of the E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., cereblon) and the target protein DOT1L by the compounds described herein. For example, the therapeutic effect may be the result of the recruitment of the E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., cereblon) by modulation, targeting, binding, or modification of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby inducing the ubiquitination of the target protein DOT1L and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic effect is brought about by the binding or modification of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby inducing the ubiquitination of the target protein DOT1L and subsequent degradation of DOT1L.

[0101] Human cereblon (CRBN) is a 442-amino acid protein with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 51 kDa (GenBank: AAH17419). (For the CRBN protein sequence, see Higgins et al., Neurology. 2004, 63, 1927–31. For further information on the CRBN structure, see Hartmann et al., PLoS One. 2015, 10, e0128342.) Human CRBN contains the N-terminal portion (237 amino acids from 81 to 317) of the ATP-dependent Lon protease domain, lacking the conserved Walker A and Walker B motifs, 11 casein kinase II phosphorylation sites, 4 protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, 1 N-linked glycosylation site, and 2 myristoylation sites. CRBN is widely expressed in the testis, spleen, prostate, liver, pancreas, placenta, kidney, lung, skeletal muscle, ovary, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocytes, colon, brain, and retina. CRBN is also present in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and superficial membranes. (Chang et al., Int. J. Biochem. Mol. Biol. 2011, 2, 287-94)
[0102] Cereblon is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex with damaged DNA-binding protein 1 (DDB1), Cullin-4A (CUL4A), and regulator of cullin 1 (ROC1). This complex also ubiquitinates several other proteins. Through a mechanism that is not fully understood, cereblon-mediated ubiquitination of target proteins leads to increased levels of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) and fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10). FGF8 further regulates several developmental processes, such as limb and otic vesicle formation.
