[0006] FIELD
[0007] This disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of either of the foregoing, that restore p53 function. These compounds are useful, e.g., for treating a disease in which decreased p53 function contributes to the pathology and / or symptoms and / or progression of the disease (e.g., cancer) in a subject (e.g., a human).
[0008] BACKGROUND
[0009] The tumor suppressor p53, encoded by the TP53 gene, is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes required for DNA repair, cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis, and p53 plays a critical role in mediating each of these processes (Alvarado-Ortiz et al., Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology (2021) 8, Article 607670; Vousden et al., Cell (2009) 137, 413-431; Bieging et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer (2014) 14, 359-370). TP53 is altered in over 50% of all human cancers, making it the most frequently mutated gene among oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (Hainaut et al., Adv Cancer Res (2000) 77, 81-137; Joerger et al., Cold Spring Harb. Perspect. Biol. (2010) 2(6), Article a000919). Mutations in TP53 result in loss of its normal function, rendering cells incapable of responding to a variety of cellular stresses such as DNA damage or oncogene activation, making them susceptible to tumorigenesis (Joerger et al., Oncogene (2007) 26, 2226-2242). The great majority of TP53 mutations are missense mutations, located within or proximal to its DNA-binding domain (Baugh et al., Cell Death & Differentiation (2018) 25, 154-160). Mutations leading to p53 loss of function can be categorized into two main types: (1) DNA contact mutations, where the mutant protein loses its ability to bind DNA; (2) structural mutations, which destabilize the p53 protein (Brosh et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer (2009) 9, 701-713; Hollstein et al., Science (1991) 253, 49-53). Both classes of mutations prevent p53-driven transcriptional activation, thus abrogating p53-mediated tumor suppression (Zhu et al., Frontiers in Oncology (2020) 10, Article 595187).
[0010] Reactivation of the mutant p53 protein emerges as an attractive approach to treat TP53 mutant cancers (Degtjarik et al., Nature Communications (2021) 12, Article 7057; Bykov et al., FEBS Letters (2014) 588, 2622-2627). Theoretically, mutant p53 reactivation will restore its tumor suppressive functions, stimulating p53-dependent arrest or apoptosis and resulting in efficient elimination of tumor cells (Selivanova et al., Oncogene (2007) 26, 2243-2254). The p53'1220Cmutation occurs in~l% of human cancers; -100,000 new cancer cases per year worldwide (Joerger et al., Annu. Rev. Biochem. (2016) 85, 375-404; Bouaoun et al., Hum. Mutat. (2016) 37, 865-876). Stabilization of the mutant protein may restore and / or maintain the functional conformation of the protein (Baud et al., Eur J Med Chem. (2018) 25, 101-114; Rauf et al., Protein J (2013) 32, 68- 74). In some instances, such as the Y200C mutation, there is a small molecule binding pocket far away from the binding interface between p53 and DNA, such that small molecule engagement at this pocket will not disrupt DNA binding (Bauer et al., Future Med. Chem. (2019) 11, 2491-2504).

[0216] Methods of Treatment
[0217] Provided herein are methods for restoring p53 function, encoded by TP53 gene. For example, provided herein are compounds that restore p53 function that are useful for treating or preventing diseases associated with dysregulation of a TP53 gene, a p53 protein, or the activity of any of the same (i.e., a p53-associated disease), such as cancer (e.g., p53-associated cancer).
[0218] The terms “restore” or “restoration of’ means to increase the activity and / or function of the specified target by a measurable amount. For example, restoration of a mutant p53 with a compound of Formula (I) refers to increasing the function of the mutant p53 in the presence of the compound to a higher level than the function of the mutant p53 in the absence of the compound.
[0219] The ability of test compounds to act as a p53 restorer may be demonstrated by assays known in the art. The activity of the compounds and compositions provided herein as p53 restorers can be assayed in vitro, in vivo, or in a cell line. In vitro assays include assays that determine activation of the protein and / or a change in its conformation. Potency of a p53 restorer as provided herein can be determined by ECso value.

In medical oncology the other component s) of such conjoint treatment or therapy in addition to compositions provided herein may be, for example, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapeutic agents, such as kinase inhibitors, signal transduction inhibitors and / or monoclonal antibodies, or combinations of any of the foregoing. For example, a surgery may be open surgery or minimally invasive surgery. Compounds of Formula (I), Formula (II), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, therefore may also be useful as adjuvants to cancer treatment, that is, they can be used in combination with one or more additional therapies or therapeutic agents, for example, a chemotherapeutic agent that works by a different mechanism of action. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing, can be used prior to administration of an additional therapeutic agent or additional therapy. For example, a subject in need thereof can be administered one or more doses of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing, for a period of time and then undergo at least partial resection of the tumor. In some embodiments, the treatment with one or more doses of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing, reduces the size of the tumor (e.g., the tumor burden) prior to the at least partial resection of the tumor. In some embodiments, a subject in need thereof can be administered a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing, for a period of time and under one or more rounds of radiation therapy. In some embodiments, the treatment with a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing, reduces the size of the tumor (e.g., the tumor burden) prior to the one or more rounds of radiation therapy.
[0301] In some embodiments, a subject has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that is refractory or intolerant to standard therapy (e.g., administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a multi-kinase inhibitor, immunotherapy, or radiation (e.g., radioactive iodine)). In some embodiments, a subject has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that is refractory or intolerant to prior therapy (e.g., administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a multikinase inhibitor, immunotherapy, or radiation (e.g., radioactive iodine)). In some embodiments, a subject has a cancer (e.g., a locally advanced or metastatic tumor) that has no standard therapy. In some embodiments, a subject has undergone prior therapy. In some embodiments, a subject is naive to p53 restoration therapy. In some embodiments, a subject is not naive to p53 restoration therapy. In some embodiments, a subject is kinase inhibitor naive. In some embodiments, a subject is not kinase inhibitor naive.
[0302] In some embodiments of any the methods described herein, the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (II) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either of the foregoing) is administered in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent selected from one or more additional therapies or therapeutic (e.g., chemotherapeutic) agents described herein.
