[0003] This application contains a Sequence Listing which has been submitted in .xml format viaPatent Center and is hereby incorporated by reference. The ST.26 copy, created on December 18, 2024, is named 394457-015WO_215147_SL.xml and is 4,679 bytes in size. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The role of MYC in oncogenesis was discovered more than 40 years ago (Duesberg andVogt 1979; Hu and Vogt 1979; Sheiness and Bishop 1979, Dalla-Favera et al. 1982; Taub et al. 1982). In the intervening decades, it has become clear that MYC is one of the most frequently dysregulated oncogenes across a broad range of cancers (Beroukhim et al. 2010, Dang 2012). Dysregulation occurs via multiple mechanisms, all of which result in the uncoupling of cellular proliferation from physiological growth-factor dependent regulation. MYC constitutes a critical cellular node that governs and coordinates cellular proliferation, metabolism and immune evasion, and as such, is a hallmark of cancer (Conacci-Sorrell et al. 2014; Gabay et al. 2014). Further, in many clinical settings, MYC deregulation is associated with poor outcomes (Gamberi et al. 1998; Nesbit et al. 1999). In addition, there is significant preclinical data highlighting emerging roles for MYC in the promotion of tumor immune evasion (Schors et al.2006; Soucek et al.2007; Sodir et al. 2011; Casey, S.C. et al. 2016; Kortlever et al. 2017), suggesting there would be additional, non-cell-autonomous benefits to therapeutic inhibition of MYC.

[0005] Despite the wealth of data demonstrating MYC is a nodal driver of human cancer andsignificant investment in discovery of a MYC-directed therapeutic, no direct inhibitors of MYC have entered the clinic. MYC is a transcription factor, which have proven to be a notoriously difficult-to-drug class of proteins (reviewed in Darnell 2002). MYC requires heterodimerization to transactivate targets, and the key protein-protein interactions are mediated by large, flat surfaces that are not readily amenable to small molecule intervention at the protein level (Nair and Burley 2003).

[0006] In contrast, MYC mRNA provides options for therapeutic intervention. MYC mRNA ismultiply regulated, providing opportunities for intervention by a molecule that modulates MYC mRNA. Of note, the 5’UTR is reported to include translationally repressive structures (Wolfe et al. 2014), providing a structure-function rationale for an RNA-targeted small molecule approach. In addition, MYC mRNA is regulated through interactions with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which can be targeted. For instance, start codon usage is regulated by RBP binding to the MYC 5’UTR (Manjunath et al.2019). The open reading frame (ORF) and 3’UTR also harbor sequences bound by RBPs and miRNAs that determine the half-life of MYC mRNA (Weidensdorfer et al. 2009; Marderosian et al. 2006; Liao et al.2014; Ogami, K. et al. 2014; Liu et al.2015).

[0007] There remains a need to develop small-molecule MYC modulators useful as therapeuticagents. The present invention addresses this need and provides other related advantages. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In some embodiments, the Myc protein is c- Myc. In some embodiments, aberrant functionality, or excessive expression of a Myc protein confers sensitivity of the cell to the compounds provided herein.

[0033] The term “RNA” (ribonucleic acid) as used herein, means a naturally-occurring or syntheticoligo- or polyribonucleotide independent of source (e.g., the RNA may be produced by a human, animal, plant, virus, or bacterium, or may be synthetic in origin), biological context (e.g., the RNA may be in the nucleus, circulating in the blood, in vitro, cell lysate, or isolated or pure form), or physical form (e.g., the RNA may be in single-, double-, or triple-stranded form (including RNA- DNA hybrids), may include epigenetic modifications, native post-transcriptional modifications, artificial modifications (e.g., obtained by chemical or in vitro modification), or other modifications, may be bound to, e.g., metal ions, small molecules, protein chaperones, or co- factors, or may be in a denatured, partially denatured, or folded state including any native or unnatural secondary or tertiary structure such as junctions (e.g., cis or trans three-way junctions (3WJ)), quadruplexes (e.g., G-quadruplexes), hairpins, triplexes, hairpins, bulge loops, pseudoknots, and internal loops, etc., and any transient forms or structures adopted by the RNA).

In some embodiments, the target RNA is 350, 450, 500, 600, 750, or 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, 15,000, 25,000, 50,000, or more nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the target RNA is between 250 and 1,000 nucleotides in length. In some embodiments, the RNA is a pre-RNA, pre-miRNA, or pre-transcript. In some embodiments, the RNA is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), a ribozyme, riboswitch, lncRNA, lincRNA, snoRNA, snRNA, scaRNA, piRNA, ceRNA, pseudo-gene, viral RNA, or bacterial RNA.

[0034] The term “MYC RNA transcript” includes any RNA transcript or portion or mutant thereofthat is transcribed from a MYC gene. (e.g., NM_002467 and functionally equivalents thereof) The MYC RNA transcript includes both coding and non-coding regions, and includes unspliced isoforms, splicing intermediates, isoforms, fragments, and mutants of RNA transcripts derived from a MYC gene. In some embodiments, the MYC gene is a mammalian MYC gene, such as a human MYC gene; or a mutant of the gene. In some embodiments, the MYC gene is c-MYC. It should be appreciated that more than one isoform of a MYC RNA transcript have been identified (See e,g., Boxer et al., Oncogene 2001, 20: 5595). In one embodiment, the disclosure provides methods and compositions for targeting a specific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript.

[0035] In some embodiments, the transcript is bound to one or more RNA-binding proteins(RBPs). In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a pre-mRNA. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is an intron or exon of such pre-mRNA. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a partially processed mRNA. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a fully processed (mature) mRNA. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a fully processed mRNA bound to one or more RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is single stranded.

[0036] In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is an unspliced form or unspliced isoformof any of the foregoing transcripts. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a splicing intermediate of any of the foregoing transcripts. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is an isoform of any of the foregoing transcripts. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a fragment of any of the foregoing transcripts. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a mutant of any of the foregoing transcripts.

[0037] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of modulating the activity of a MYCRNA transcript (also referred to herein as a “MYC transcript” or “MYC RNA”) or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof, comprising contacting the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof with an rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that modulates the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof.

[0038] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of modulating the activity (e.g.,expression level) of a Myc protein or mutant thereof, comprising contacting a corresponding MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof with an rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that modulates the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a MYC pre-mRNA, splicing intermediate, or mature mRNA. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript encodes c-Myc. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates only a specific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript.

[0039] A compound that modulates an RNA transcript as used herein (e.g., an rSM) refers to acompound that changes the abundance or activity of an RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the change in the abundance or activity of an RNA transcript results in the change in the abundance or activity of the protein corresponding to the RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the RNA transcript is a MYC RNA and the corresponding protein is MYC. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by binding the RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by interaction with a cellular component, such as an RNA Binding protein (RBP), that in turn binds or interacts with the RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by modulating the activity of the RNA Binding Protein (RBP). For clarity, as provided herein, RBPs encompass any protein that interacts with RNA either directly (e.g., by binding) or indirectly. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by suppressing or inhibiting binding of the RBP to the RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by enhancing binding of the RBP to the RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the rSM modulates the RNA transcript by interaction with a cellular component, such as an RBP, and the RNA simultaneously. It should be appreciated that the compounds described herein are not limited to modulation of an RNA transcript and can treat Myc-mediated diseases, disorders and conditions, e.g., by suppressing the aberrant function or overexpression of the Myc protein.

[0040] In some embodiments, or excessive translation of a MYC RNA transcript conferssensitivity of the cell to suppression of translation of a MYC RNA transcript (e.g., by the administration of an rSM).

[0041] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of decreasing the half-life orincreasing degradation of a MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate,isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof, comprising contacting the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof with an rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that interacts with (e.g., by binding or through interaction with in RBP), the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof.

[0042] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of suppressing the aberrantfunctionality of a MYC protein by contacting a MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof with an rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that interacts with (e.g., by binding or through interaction with in RBP), the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof resulting in suppression of the aberrant functionality of a MYC protein.

[0043] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of decreasing the expressionlevel a MYC protein by contacting a MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof with an rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that interacts with (e.g., by binding or through interaction with in RBP), the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof resulting in decreasing the expression level of a MYC protein.

[0044] In some embodiments, a disclosed rSM binds to a target MYC RNA transcript such as aMYC pre-mRNA transcript, splicing intermediate, or mature mRNA and modulates the activity of the transcript and / or modulate splicing rates or splicing pathways of the transcript. Modulation of MYC mRNA in turn modulates expression levels of the protein encoded by the transcript. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a disclosed rSM compound binds to a MYC pre-mRNA transcript, splicing intermediate, or mature mRNA and modulates its function, e.g., by decreasing translation of Myc protein. In some embodiments, the Myc protein is a c-Myc protein or a mutant or homolog thereof.

[0045] In some embodiments, the compounds and rSMs provided herein are a selective modulatorof the MYC RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the compound or rSM interacts with a MYC RNA transcript preferentially (e.g., more effectively) over other RNA transcripts. In some embodiments, the compound or rSM interacts with a specific isoform of an MYC RNA transcript preferentially (e.g., more effectively) over other isoforms of a MYC RNA transcript.

[0046] For example, in some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist)has an IC50 for a MYC RNA transcript that is at least 40 percent lower than the IC50 for another RNA transcript, such as another transcript having at least 90% sequence homology, or another MYC RNA transcript that is not the intended target. In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist) has an IC50for the MYC RNA transcript that is at least 50 percent lower than the IC50for the other, non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist) has an IC50for the MYC RNA transcript that is at least 60, 70, 80, 90, or 95 percent lower than the IC50for the non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., antagonist or inhibitor) of a MYC RNA transcript exerts essentially no inhibitory effect on the non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulation of the MYC RNA transcript results in selective modulation of the Myc protein, e.g., in that it suppresses the aberrant functionality or expression level of a Myc protein preferentially (e.g., more effectively) over other proteins. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a specific isoform of MYC RNA and the non-target RNA transcript is a different isoform of MYC RNA.

[0047] In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist) modulates theactivity of a MYC RNA transcript at least 2-fold more efficiently than a non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist) modulates the activity of a MYC RNA transcript at least 5-fold more efficiently than a non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulator (e.g., inhibitor or antagonist) modulates the activity of a MYC RNA transcript at least 10-, 20-, 50-, 100, 1000-, 10000-, or 100000-fold more efficiently than a non-target RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the selective modulation of the MYC RNA transcript results in selective modulation of the Myc protein, e.g., in that it suppresses the aberrant functionality or expression level of a Myc protein preferentially (e.g., more effectively) over other proteins. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a specific isoform of MYC RNA and the non-target RNA transcript is a different isoform of MYC RNA.

[0048] In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, the MYC RNA transcript compriseswishing to be bound by theory, it is understood that the noncoding regions of mRNA such as the mRNA expression levels, alternative splicing, translational efficiency, and mRNA and proteinsubcellular localization. It is furthermore believed that RNA secondary and tertiary structures are associated with these regulatory activities. Accordingly, modulation of the activity of a MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof is possible by interaction of a disclosed compound (rSM) at one or more RNA secondary and tertiary structures on the MYC RNA transcript.

[0049] In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, the administration of the rSMprovides that the translation of the MYC RNA transcript is decreased or inhibited. In some embodiments, production of functional Myc protein is decreased or inhibited by the administration of the rSM.

[0050] In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, the administration of the rSMprovides that the activity of the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof is inhibited or decreased. In some embodiments, binding of a regulatory element such as a protein (e.g., RBP) or miRNA to the MYC RNA transcript is inhibited. In some embodiments, processing or splicing of the MYC RNA transcript or an unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, isoform, fragment, or mutant thereof is inhibited. In some embodiments, inhibition of processing or splicing results in a decrease in levels of mature MYC mRNA and / or protein. In some embodiments, the activity of the Myc protein or a mutant thereof is inhibited or decreased.

[0051] In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript comprises a functionally relevantfragment of MYC RNA. A MYC RNA transcript is “functionally relevant” if it includes a portion of a MYC RNA transcript that is essential to producing a functional MYC protein or mutant thereof. In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript is a MYC unspliced isoform, splicing intermediate, pre-mRNA, mature mRNA, or partially processed mRNA. In some embodiments, embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript comprises an open reading frame (ORF) of MYC. In present in the MYC RNA transcript.

[0052] In some embodiments, the expression of a MYC mRNA and one or more of its translationbelieved to play an important role in translation of mRNA. One example of these are internal ribosome entry sites (IRES), which can affect the level of translation of the main open reading frame (Komar and Hatzoglou, Frontiers Oncol. 5:233, 2015; Weingarten-Gabbay et al., Science 351:pii:aad4939, 2016; Calvo et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 106:7507-7512; Le Quesne et al., J. Pathol. 220:140-151, 2010; Barbosa et al., PLOS Genetics 9:e10035529, 2013). In some site, or upsteam open reading frame. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention bind selectively to one or more sites on a target MYC RNA transcript, or other sites determined by binding interactions between the rSM and the structure of the target MYC RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention bind selectively to one or more sites on a specific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript, or other sites determined by binding interactions between the rSM and the structure of the specific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript.

[0053] In some embodiments, the MYC RNA transcript includes a structure that allows formodulation by a compound (e.g., an rSM). In some embodiments, the RNA structure is a 3-way junction or a G-quadruplex. In some embodiments, the RNA structure is a G-quadruplex. In some embodiments, the structure that allows for modulation by a compound (e.g., an rSM) is in the 5’ UTR. In some embodiments, the 3-way junction or a G-quadruplex is in the 5’ UTR. In some embodiments, the G-quadruplex is in the 5’ UTR. It should further be appreciated that in some embodiments, the RNA structure (e.g., 3-way junction or a G-quadruplex) is uniquely found in only one specific isoform, allowing for the targeting of that isoform.

[0054] In some embodiments, the RNA transcript includes a structure that allows for modulationby a compound (e.g., an rSM). In some embodiments, the RNA structure is a 3-way junction or a G-quadruplex. In some embodiments, the RNA structure is a G-quadruplex. G-quadruplexes (“G- quads”) are described for instance in Fay et al. J Mol Biol. 2017 Jul 7; 429(14): 2127–2147. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein modulate the RNA structure directly (e.g., by binding the structure), or indirectly, for instance by interacting with a protein, e.g., an RNA binding protein, that can interact with the RNA structure. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein modulate the RNA transcript by binding an RBP that targets a specific RNA structure. Insome embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein modulate the RNA transcript by binding an RBP that targets a specific isoform of MYC RNA.

[0055] In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of modulating the splicing of atarget MYC pre-mRNA transcript, comprising the step of contacting the target MYC pre-mRNA transcript with an effective amount of a disclosed rSM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. It should be appreciated that even in cases in which defective splicing does not cause the disease, alteration of splicing patterns can be used to correct the disease.

[0056] As used herein, the term “inhibitor” is defined as a compound that binds to and / ormodulates or inhibits a MYC RNA transcript with measurable affinity. In certain embodiments, an inhibitor has an IC50 and / or binding constant of less than about 100 µM, less than about 50 µM, less than about 1 µM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 100 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM.

[0057] The terms “measurable affinity” and “measurably inhibit,” as used herein, mean ameasurable change in a downstream biological effect between a sample comprising a compound of the present invention, or composition thereof, and a MYC RNA transcript, and an equivalent sample comprising the MYC RNA transcript, in the absence of said compound, or composition thereof.

[0058] In some embodiments, administration of the compounds provided herein provides thattranslation of the MYC RNA transcript is reduced. In some embodiments, levels of Myc protein are decreased in a biological sample contacted with a disclosed rSM or decreased in a patient treated with a disclosed rSM. In some embodiments, administration of the compounds provided herein provides that degradation of the MYC RNA transcript is increased. In some embodiments, degradation of the MYC RNA transcript is increased due to interaction with the rSM (e.g, binding).

[0059] In some embodiments, a cell line contacted by an rSM has decreased viability as comparedto a cell line that was not contacted by an rSM. In some embodiments, the cell line is a proliferative cell line. In some embodiments, the cell line is a cancer cell line. In some embodiments of a cell line that is contacted by an rSM and has decreased viability as compared to a cell line that was not contacted by an rSM, there is no measurable difference in MYC levels. It should be appreciated that in some aspects the disclosure provides compounds and methods for the treatment of c-MYC mediated diseases that are associated with the presence of a specific isoform or close homologsthereof. Thus, in one aspect, the disclose provides methods of targeting a cancer call line that is characterized by specific MYC isoforms (See e.g., Boxer et al.)

[0060] In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of modulating the activity of aspecific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript. In one aspect, the specific isoform of a MYC RNA transcript comprises a first promoter that is located further upstream from a second promoter (See e.g., Boxer et al.).

[0061] In one aspect the disclosure provides methods of treating a MYC-mediated disease,disorder, or condition in a patient in need thereof, including administering to the patient an effective amount of an RNA-modulating small molecule (rSM) to treat the MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition, wherein cells associated with the MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition include a specific isoform of the MYC RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the administration of the rSM results in modulation of a specific isoform of the MYC RNA transcript. In some embodiments, the administration of the rSM results in modulation of a specific isoform of the MYC RNA transcript, which results in a reduction in Myc protein expression. In some embodiments, the administration of the rSM results in modulation of a specific isoform of the MYC RNA transcript, which results in suppression of the aberrant functionality of the Myc protein. In some embodiments, the Myc protein is c-Myc. In some embodiments, the specific isoform includes SEQ ID NO:1 or a homologous sequence. In some embodiments, the specific isoform includes SEQ ID NO:3 or a homologous sequence.

[0062] It should be appreciated that by targeting a specific isoform of the RNA target sequence itis possible to selectively target cells that contain that specific isoform of the RNA target sequence. It should further be appreciated that by targeting a specific isoform of the RNA target sequence it is possible to selectively target a MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition that is characterized by, or associated with cells that contain that specific isoform of the RNA target sequence. It should further be appreciated that by targeting a specific isoform of the RNA targetsequence it is possible to selectively target a MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition that is characterized by, or associated with cells that are dependent on expression of MYC protein by that specific isoform of the RNA target sequence for viability. In some embodiments, the specific isoform includes SEQ ID NO:1 or a homologous sequence. In some embodiments, the specific isoform includes SEQ ID NO:3 or a homologous sequence.

[0063] As provided for instance in Boxer et al. (Oncogene 2001, 20, 5595) specific cancers arecharacterized by, or associated with cells that are dependent on that specific isoform of the RNA target sequence for viability. Thus, the methods and compositions provided herein allow for the targeting of specific MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or conditions, such as cancer. The MYC isoform that includes SEQ ID NO:3 is found, for instance, in Daudi cells, a Burkitt’s lymphoma. Additional cell lines that include the SEQ ID NO:3 isoform are described in Boxer et al. It should be appreciated that cell lines can have multiple MYC isoforms that may be expressed at different levels. In some embodiments, the compositions of the current disclosure can be used to treat cancers that have measurable levels of a MYC RNA transcript that includes SEQ ID NO:3.

In some embodiments, a proliferative disorder is associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent cells; 2) the pathological migration of cells from their normal location (e.g., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as thematrix metalloproteinases (e.g., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the pathological angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative disorders include cancers (i.e., “malignant neoplasms”), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

[0391] The terms “neoplasm” and “tumor” are used herein interchangeably and refer to anabnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be “benign” or “malignant,” depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A “benign neoplasm” is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain “benign” tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor’s neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as “pre-malignant neoplasms.” An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is teratoma. In contrast, a “malignant neoplasm” is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites.

[0392] As used herein, the term “cancer” refers to a malignant neoplasm (Stedman’s MedicalDictionary, 25th ed.; Hensyl ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990; hereby incorporated by reference). Exemplary cancers include, but are not limited to, acoustic neuroma; adenocarcinoma; adrenal gland cancer; anal cancer; angiosarcoma (e.g., lymphangiosarcoma, lymphangioendotheliosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma); appendix cancer; benign monoclonal gammopathy; biliary cancer (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma); bladder cancer; breast cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the breast, papillary carcinoma of the breast, mammary cancer, medullary carcinoma of the breast); brain cancer (e.g., meningioma, glioblastomas, glioma (e.g., astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma), medulloblastoma); bronchus cancer; carcinoid tumor; cervical cancer (e.g., cervical adenocarcinoma); choriocarcinoma; chordoma; craniopharyngioma; colorectal cancer (e.g., colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal adenocarcinoma); connective tissue cancer; epithelialcarcinoma; ependymoma; endothelio sarcoma (e.g., Kaposi’s sarcoma, multiple idiopathic hemorrhagic sarcoma); endometrial cancer (e.g., uterine cancer, uterine sarcoma); esophageal cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, Barrett’s adenocarcinoma); Ewing’s sarcoma; eye cancer (e.g., intraocular melanoma, retinoblastoma); familiar hypereosinophilia; gall bladder cancer; gastric cancer (e.g., stomach adenocarcinoma); gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); germ cell cancer; head and neck cancer (e.g., head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, oral cancer (e.g., oral squamous cell carcinoma), throat cancer (e.g., laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer)); hematopoietic cancers (e.g., leukemia such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (e.g., B-cell ALL, T-cell ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) (e.g., B-cell AML, T-cell AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) (e.g., B-cell CML, T-cell CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (e.g., B-cell CLL, T-cell CLL)); lymphoma such as Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) (e.g., B-cell HL, T-cell HL) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) (e.g., B-cell NHL such as diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL) (e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (e.g., mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (i.e., Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma and primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma; and T-cell NHL such as precursor T- lymphoblastic lymphoma / leukemia, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) (e.g., cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (e.g., mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma, enteropathy type T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma); a mixture of one or more leukemia / lymphoma as described above; and multiple myeloma (MM)), heavy chain disease (e.g., alpha chain disease, gamma chain disease, mu chain disease); hemangioblastoma; hypopharynx cancer; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors; immunocytic amyloidosis; kidney cancer (e.g., nephroblastoma a.k.a.

[0393] The term “angiogenesis” refers to the formation and the growth of new blood vessels.Normal angiogenesis occurs in the healthy body of a subject for healing wounds and for restoring blood flow to tissues after injury. The healthy body controls angiogenesis through a number of means, e.g., angiogenesis-stimulating growth factors and angiogenesis inhibitors. Many disease states, such as cancer, diabetic blindness, age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, are characterized by abnormal (i.e., increased or excessive) angiogenesis. Abnormal angiogenesis refers to angiogenesis greater than that in a normal body, especially angiogenesis in an adult not related to normal angiogenesis (e.g., menstruation or wound healing). Abnormal angiogenesis can provide new blood vessels that feed diseased tissues and / or destroy normal tissues, and in the case of cancer, the new vessels can allow tumor cells to escape into the circulation and lodge in other organs (tumor metastases).

[0394] As used herein, an “inflammatory disease” refers to a disease caused by, resulting from, orresulting in inflammation. The term “inflammatory disease” may also refer to a dysregulated inflammatory reaction that causes an exaggerated response by macrophages, granulocytes, and / or T-lymphocytes leading to abnormal tissue damage and / or cell death. An inflammatory disease can be either an acute or chronic inflammatory condition and can result from infections or non- infectious causes. Inflammatory diseases include, without limitation, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), gouty arthritis, degenerative arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, arthrosteitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, giant cell arteritis, progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), ankylosing spondylitis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, pemphigus, pemphigoid, diabetes (e.g., Type I), myasthenia gravis, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, Goodpasture’s disease, mixed connective tissue disease, sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, pernicious anemia, inflammatory dermatoses, usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), asbestosis, silicosis, bronchiectasis, berylliosis, talcosis, pneumoconiosis, sarcoidosis, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, giant cell interstitial pneumonia, cellular interstitial pneumonia, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, Wegener’s granulomatosis and related forms of angiitis (temporal arteritis and polyarteritis nodosa), inflammatory dermatoses, hepatitis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., poison ivy dermatitis), pneumonia, respiratory tract inflammation, Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), encephalitis, immediate hypersensitivity reactions, asthma, hayfever, allergies, acute anaphylaxis, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, cellulitis, cystitis, chronic cholecystitis, ischemia (ischemic injury), reperfusion injury, allograft rejection, host-versus-graft rejection, appendicitis, arteritis, blepharitis, bronchiolitis, bronchitis, cervicitis, cholangitis, chorioamnionitis, conjunctivitis, dacryoadenitis, dermatomyositis, endocarditis, endometritis, enteritis, enterocolitis, epicondylitis, epididymitis, fasciitis, fibrositis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, gingivitis, ileitis, iritis, laryngitis, myelitis, myocarditis, nephritis, omphalitis, oophoritis, orchitis, osteitis, otitis, pancreatitis, parotitis, pericarditis, pharyngitis, pleuritis, phlebitis, pneumonitis, proctitis, prostatitis, rhinitis, salpingitis, sinusitis, stomatitis, synovitis, testitis, tonsillitis, urethritis, urocystitis, uveitis, vaginitis, vasculitis, vulvitis, vulvovaginitis, angitis, chronicbronchitis, osteomyelitis, optic neuritis, temporal arteritis, transverse myelitis, necrotizing fasciitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis.

[0395] As used herein, “autoimmune disease” refers to a disease arising from an inappropriateimmune response of the body of a subject against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g., in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g., Goodpasture’s disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression, e.g., medications which decrease the immune response. Exemplary autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to, glomerulonephritis, Goodpasture’s syndrome, necrotizing vasculitis, lymphadenitis, peri-arteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid, arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis / polymyositis, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, scleroderma, pemphigus vulgaris, ANCA-associated vasculitis (e.g., Wegener’s granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis), uveitis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Crohn’s disease, Reiter’s syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and cardiomyopathy.

[0396] The term “autoinflammatory disease” refers to a category of diseases that are similar butdifferent from autoimmune diseases. Autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases share common characteristics in that both groups of disorders result from the immune system attacking a subject’s own tissues and result in increased inflammation. In autoinflammatory diseases, a subject’s innate immune system causes inflammation for unknown reasons. The innate immune system reacts even though it has never encountered autoantibodies or antigens in the subject. Autoinflammatory disorders are characterized by intense episodes of inflammation that result in such symptoms as fever, rash, or joint swelling. These diseases also carry the risk of amyloidosis, a potentially fatal buildup of a blood protein in vital organs. Autoinflammatory diseases include, but are not limited to, familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), neonatal onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), deficiency of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (DIRA), and Behcet’s disease.

[0397] The term “biological sample” refers to any sample including tissue samples (such as tissuesections and needle biopsies of a tissue); cell samples (e.g., cytological smears (such as Pap orblood smears) or samples of cells obtained by microdissection); samples of whole organisms (such as samples of yeasts or bacteria); or cell fractions, fragments or organelles (such as obtained by lysing cells and separating the components thereof by centrifugation or otherwise). Other examples of biological samples include blood, serum, urine, semen, fecal matter, cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid, mucus, tears, sweat, pus, biopsied tissue (e.g., obtained by a surgical biopsy or needle biopsy), nipple aspirates, milk, vaginal fluid, saliva, swabs (such as buccal swabs), or any material containing biomolecules that is derived from a first biological sample. Biological samples also include those biological samples that are transgenic, such as transgenic oocyte, sperm cell, blastocyst, embryo, fetus, donor cell, or cell nucleus.

[0398] In some embodiments, a subject in need thereof has refractory or resistant cancer.“Refractory or resistant cancer” means cancer that does not respond to an established line of treatment. In some embodiments, the cancer is resistant at the beginning of treatment or becomes resistant during treatment. In some embodiments, the subject in need thereof has cancer recurrence following remission after the most recent therapy. In some embodiments, the subject in need thereof received and failed all known effective therapies for cancer treatment. In some embodiments, the subject in need thereof received at least one prior therapy. In some embodiments, the prior therapy is monotherapy. In some embodiments, the prior therapy is combination therapy.

[0399] In some embodiments, a subject in need thereof has a secondary cancer as a result of aprevious therapy. “Secondary cancer” means cancer that arises due to or as a result from previous carcinogenic therapies, such as chemotherapy.

[0400] As used herein, the term “responsiveness” is interchangeable with terms “responsive,”“sensitive,” and “sensitivity,” and it is meant that a subject is showing a therapeutic response when administered a composition of the disclosure, e.g., tumor cells or tumor tissues of the subject undergo apoptosis and / or necrosis, and / or display reduced growing, dividing, or proliferation. In some embodiments, a “response” also means that a subject will have or has a higher probability, relative to the population at large, of showing therapeutic responses when administered a disclosed compound, e.g., tumor cells or tumor tissues of the subject undergo apoptosis and / or necrosis, and / or display reduced growing, dividing, or proliferation.

[0401] In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein modulate a Myc protein or a MYCRNA transcript. Modulating refers to stimulating or inhibiting an activity of a target (e.g. aberrantfunctionality of a protein, or ability to be translated of an RNA). In some embodiments, a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate or hydrate thereof, modulates the activity of a target if it stimulates or inhibits the activity of the target by at least 2-fold relative to the activity of the target under the same conditions but lacking only the presence of the compound. In some embodiments, a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, modulates the activity of a target if it stimulates or inhibits the activity of the target by at least 5-fold, at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 50- fold, at least 100-fold relative to the activity of the target under the same conditions but lacking only the presence of the compound. The activity of a target may be measured by any reproducible means. The activity of a target may be measured in vitro or in vivo, by methods such as those described herein.

[0402] In some embodiments, treating cancer or a proliferative disorder results in cell death. Insome embodiments, cell death results in a decrease of at least 10% in number of cells in a population. In some embodiments, cell death means a decrease of at least 20%; at least 30%; at least 40%; at least 50%; or at least 75%. Number of cells in a population may be measured by any reproducible means. A number of cells in a population can be measured by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), immunofluorescence microscopy and light microscopy. Methods of measuring cell death are as shown in Li et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 100(5): 2674-8, 2003. In some embodiments, cell death occurs by apoptosis.

[0403] In some embodiments, an effective amount of a disclosed compound, or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt or solvate thereof, is not significantly cytotoxic to normal cells. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound is not significantly cytotoxic to normal cells if administration of the compound in a therapeutically effective amount does not induce cell death in greater than 10% of normal cells. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound does not significantly affect the viability of normal cells if administration of the compound in a therapeutically effective amount does not induce cell death in greater than 10% of normal cells. In some aspects, cell death occurs by apoptosis.

[0404] In some embodiments, contacting a cell with a disclosed compound, or a pharmaceuticallyacceptable salt or solvate or hydrate thereof, induces or activates cell death selectively in cancer cells.

[0405] In some embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating or preventingcancer by administering an effective amount of a disclosed compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate or hydrate thereof, to a subject in need thereof, wherein administration of the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate or hydrate thereof, results in one or more of the following: prevention of cancer cell proliferation by accumulation of cells in one or more phases of the cell cycle (e.g. Gl, Gl / S, G2 / M), or induction of cell senescence, or promotion of tumor cell differentiation; promotion of cell death in cancer cells via cytotoxicity, necrosis or apoptosis, without a significant amount of cell death in normal cells, antitumor activity in animals with a therapeutic index of at least 2. As used herein, “therapeutic index” is the maximum tolerated dose divided by the efficacious dose.

These texts include Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. (2005); Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual (3rdedition), Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, New York (2000); Coligan et al., Current Protocols in Immunology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y.; Enna et al., Current Protocols in Pharmacology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y.; Fingl et al., The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics (1975), and Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, 18thedition (1990); each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. These texts can, of course, also be referred to in making or using an aspect of the disclosure. Combination Therapies

[0407] The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of thedisclosure or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and one or more other therapeutic agents disclosed herein, mixed with pharmaceutically suitable carriers or excipient(s) at doses to treat or prevent a disease or condition as described herein. The pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents or therapeutic modalities simultaneously, sequentially, or in alternation.

[0408] Mixtures of compositions of the disclosure can also be administered to the patient as asimple mixture or in suitable formulated pharmaceutical compositions. For example, some aspects of the disclosure relate to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effectivedose of a compound of the disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, enantiomer or stereoisomer thereof; one or more other therapeutic agents, and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.

[0409] A “pharmaceutical composition” is a formulation containing the compounds of thedisclosure in a form suitable for administration to a subject. A compound of the disclosure and one or more other therapeutic agents described herein each can be formulated individually or in multiple pharmaceutical compositions in any combinations of the active ingredients.

[0410] Accordingly, one or more administration routes can be properly elected based on thedosage form of each pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, a compound of the disclosure and one or more other therapeutic agents described herein can be formulated as one pharmaceutical composition.

[0411] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or in unit dosage form.The unit dosage form is any of a variety of forms, including, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single pump on an aerosol inhaler or a vial. The quantity of active ingredient (e.g., a formulation of the disclosed compound or salt, hydrate, solvate or isomer thereof) in a unit dose of composition is an effective amount and is varied according to the particular treatment involved. One skilled in the art will appreciate that it is sometimes necessary to make routine variations to the dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration. A variety of routes are contemplated, including oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalational, buccal, sublingual, intrapleural, intrathecal, intranasal, and the like. Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this disclosure include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In some embodiments, the active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that are required.

[0412] A pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure is formulated to be compatible with itsintended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or othersynthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates, and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.

[0413] A composition of the disclosure can be administered to a subject in many of the well-knownmethods currently used for chemotherapeutic treatment. For example, for treatment of cancers, a compound of the disclosure may be injected directly into tumors, injected into the blood stream or body cavities or taken orally or applied through the skin with patches. The dose chosen should be sufficient to constitute effective treatment but not so high as to cause unacceptable side effects. The state of the disease condition (e.g., cancer, precancer, and the like) and the health of the patient should preferably be closely monitored during and for a reasonable period after treatment.

[0414] The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of apharmaceutical agent to treat, ameliorate, or prevent an identified disease or condition, or to exhibit a detectable therapeutic or inhibitory effect. The effect can be detected by any assay method known in the art. The precise effective amount for a subject will depend upon the subject's body weight, size, and health; the nature and extent of the condition; and the therapeutic or combination of therapeutics selected for administration. Therapeutically effective amounts for a given situation can be determined by routine experimentation that is within the skill and judgment of the clinician. In some aspects, the disease or condition to be treated is cancer. In some aspects, the disease or condition to be treated is a proliferative disorder.

[0415] In certain embodiments the therapeutically effective amount of each pharmaceutical agentused in combination will be lower when used in combination in comparison to monotherapy with each agent alone. Such lower therapeutically effective amount could afford for lower toxicity of the therapeutic regimen.

[0416] For any compound, the therapeutically effective amount can be estimated initially either incell culture assays, e.g., of neoplastic cells, or in animal models, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. The animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate concentration range and route of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans. Therapeutic / prophylactic efficacy and toxicity may be determinedby standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, and it can be expressed as the ratio, LD50 / ED50. Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed, sensitivity of the patient, and the route of administration.

[0417] The additional pharmaceutical agent(s) may synergistically augment suppression ofaberrant functionality of c-Myc or other Myc family members (e.g., N-Myc or L-Myc) induced by the inventive compounds or compositions of this invention in the biological sample or subject.

103. The method of any one of claims 99-102, wherein the MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition is selected from acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia / small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL / SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (i.e., Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma and primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma, enteropathy type T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma; or a mixture of one or more leukemia / lymphoma as described above.

104. The method of any one of claims 99-103, wherein the MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition is associated with aberrant functionality of a Myc protein.

105. The method of claim 104, wherein administration of the rSM results in suppression of the aberrant functionality of the Myc protein.

106. The method of any one of claims 99-105, wherein the MYC-mediated disease, disorder, or condition is associated with overexpression of the Myc protein.

107. The method of any one of claims 99-106, wherein administration of the rSM modulates the expression level of a Myc protein.

108. The method of any one of claims 99-106, wherein administration of the rSM results in lowering of the expression level of a Myc protein.

109. The method of claim 107 or claim 108, wherein administration of the rSM results in suppression of the aberrant functionality of the Myc protein.

110. The method of any one of claims 104-109, wherein the Myc protein is c-Myc.

111. The method of any one of claims 99-110, wherein the rSM modulates a MYC RNA transcript.

112. The method of claim 111, wherein modulation of the MYC RNA transcript results in a reduction in Myc protein expression.

113. The method of claim 111 or claim 112, wherein the rSM binds the MYC RNA transcript.

114. The method of any one of claims 111-113, wherein the MYC RNA transcript comprises a 115. The method of claim 114, wherein the MYC RNA transcript includes a G-quadruplex sequence.

117. The method of any one of claims 111-116, wherein the MYC RNA transcript comprises SEQ ID NO:1 or a homologous sequence.

118. The method of any one of claims 111-116, wherein the MYC RNA transcript comprises SEQ ID NO:3 or a homologous sequence.

119. A compound selected from one of those shown in Table 2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
