Glioblastoma (glioblastoma multiforme; GBM) accounts for the majority of primary malignant brain tumors in adults. Amplification and mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is a signature genetic abnormality encountered in GBM (Sugawa, et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 87: 8602-8606; Ekstrand, et al. (1992) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 89: 4309-4313). A range of potential therapies that target EGFR or its mutant constitutively active form, ΔEGFR, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and RNA-based agents, are currently in development or in clinical trials for the treatment of GBM. However, to date their efficacy in the clinic has so far been limited by both upfront and acquired drug resistance (Taylor, et al. (2012) Curr. Cancer Drug Targets. 12:197-209). A major limitation is that current therapies such as erlotinib, lapatinib, gefitinib and afatinib are poorly brain penetrant (Razier, et al. (2010) Neuro-Oncology 12:95-103; Reardon, et al. (2015) Neuro-Oncology 17:430-439; Thiessen, et al. (2010) Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 65:353-361).
Molecular targeted therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment and paved the path for modern precision medicine. However, despite well-defined actionable genetic alterations, targeted drugs have failed in glioblastoma (GBM) patients. This is in large part due to insufficient CNS penetration of most targeted agents to levels necessary for tumor kill; potentially evoking robust adaptive mechanisms to drive therapeutic resistance. While drug combinations that inhibit both the primary lesion and the compensatory signaling pathway(s) are appealing, these combination therapy strategies have been hampered by enhanced toxicities leading to subthreshold dosing of each drug.
An alternative therapeutic approach targets an oncogenic driver to modify an important functional property for tumor survival, rendering cells vulnerable to an orthogonal second hit6. This “synthetic lethal” strategy may be particularly attractive when the oncogene-regulated functional network(s) intersect with tumor cell death pathways. In a certain example, oncogenic signaling drives glucose metabolism to suppress intrinsic apoptosis and promote survival. Inhibition of oncogenic drivers with targeted therapies can trigger the intrinsic apoptotic machinery as a direct consequence of attenuated glucose consumption. The intertwined nature of these tumorigenic pathways may present therapeutic opportunities for rational combination treatments, however, this has yet to be investigated.
In view of the foregoing, there remains a clinical need for brain penetrant chemotherapeutics for the treatment of glioblastoma and other cancers.

Gliomas are the most commonly occurring form of brain tumor, with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) being most malignant form, causing 3-4% of all cancer-related deaths (Louis et al. (2007) Acta. Neuropathol. 114: 97-109.). The World Health Organization defines GBM as a grade IV cancer characterized as malignant, mitotically active, and predisposed to necrosis. GBM has a very poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of 4-5% with the median survival rate of GBM being 12.6 months (McLendon et al. (2003) Cancer. 98:1745-1748.). This can attributed to unique treatment limitations such as a high average age of onset, tumor location, and poor current understandings of the tumor pathophysiology (Louis et al. (2007) Acta. Neuropathol. 114: 97-109). The standard current standard of care for GBM includes tumor resection with concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy and in recent years there have been few marked improvements that increase survival rates (Stewart, et al. (2002) Lancet. 359:1011-1018.).
The standard for GBM chemotherapy is temozolomide (TMZ), which is a brain-penetrant alkylating agent that methylates purines (A or G) in DNA and induces apoptosis (Stupp, et al. (2005) N. Engl. J. Med. 352:987-996). However, TMZ use has drawbacks in that significant risk arises from DNA damage in healthy cells and that GBM cells can rapidly develop resistance towards the drug (Carlsson, et al. (2014) EMBO. Mol. Med. 6: 1359-1370). As such, additional chemotherapy options are urgently required.
EGFR is a member of the HER superfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases together with ERBB2, ERBB3, and ERBB4. A common driver of GBM progression is EGFR amplification, which is found in nearly 40% of all GBM cases (Hynes et al. (2005) Nat. Rev. Cancer. 5: 341-354; Hatanpaa et al. (2010) Neoplasia. 12:675-684). Additionally, EGFR amplification is associated with the presence of EGFR protein variants: in 68% of EGFR mutants; there is a deletion in the N-terminal ligand-binding region between amino acids 6 and 273. These deletions in the ligand-binding domains of EGFR can lead to ligand-independent activation of EGFR (Yamazaki et al. (1990) Jpn. J. Cancer Res. 81: 773-779.).
Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the most clinically advanced of the EGFR-targeted therapies, and both reversible and irreversible inhibitors are in clinical trials. Examples of the reversible inhibitors and irreversible inhibitors include erlotinib, gefitinib, lapatinib, PKI166, canertinib and pelitinib (Mischel et al. (2003) Brain Pathol. 13: 52-61). Mechanistically, these TKIs compete with ATP for binding to the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR, however, these EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been relatively ineffective against gliomas, with response rates only reaching as high as 25% in the case of erlotinib (Mischel et al. (2003) Brain Pathol. 13: 52-61; Gan et al. (2009) J. Clin. Neurosci. 16: 748-54). Although TKIs are well tolerated and display some antitumor activity in GBM patients, the recurrent problem of resistance to receptor inhibition limits their efficacy (Learn et al. (2004) Clin. Cancer. Res. 10: 3216-3224; Rich et al. (2004) Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 3: 430-446). Additionally, recent studies have shown that brain plasma concentrations of gefitinib and erlotinib following therapy were only 6-11% of the starting dose, suggesting that these compounds may be failing to cross the blood-brain barrier as illustrated in table 1 (Karpel-Massler et al. (2009) Mol. Cancer Res. 7:1000-1012). Thus, insufficient delivery to the target may be another cause of the disappointing clinical results.
In light of this evidence, there remains an unmet clinical need for potent tyrosine kinase inhibitors that have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and treat inhibit EGFR and its isoforms.
Furthermore, cross-talk among oncogenic signaling and metabolic pathways is shown by the inventors to create opportunities for novel combination therapies in GBM. More specifically, the inventors have discovered that acute inhibition of EGFR-driven glucose uptake induces minimal cell death, yet lowers the apoptotic threshold in patient-derived GBM cells and “primes” cells for apoptosis. Unexpectedly, mechanistic studies, by the inventors, revealed that Bcl-xL blocks cytoplasmic p53 from triggering intrinsic apoptosis, leading to tumor survival. Pharmacological stabilization of p53 (such as for example, with the brain-penetrant small molecule, Idasanutlin) enables p53 to engage the intrinsic apoptotic machinery, promoting synergistic lethality with targeting EGFR-driven glucose uptake in GBM xenografts. Notably, the inventors also discovered that rapid changes in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake using, for example, non-invasive positron emission tomography could predict sensitivity to the combination in vivo.
The inventors, inter alia, identify a critical link between oncogene signaling, glucose metabolism, and cytoplasmic p53, which could be exploited for combination therapy in GBM and other malignancies

Primary malignant brain tumors are tumors that start in the brain or spine are known collectively as gliomas. Gliomas are not a specific type of cancer but are a term used to describe tumors that originate in glial cells. Examples of primary malignant brain tumors include astrocytomas, pilocytic astrocytomas, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas, diffuse astrocytomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, GBMs, gangliogliomas, oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas. According to the WHO classification of brain tumors, astrocytomas have been categorized into four grades, determined by the underlying pathology. The characteristics that are used to classify gliomas include mitoses, cellular or nuclear atypia, and vascular proliferation and necrosis with pseudopalisading features. Malignant (or high-grade) gliomas include anaplastic glioma (WHO grade III) as well as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM; WHO grade IV). These are the most aggressive brain tumors with the worst prognosis.
GBMs is the most common, complex, treatment resistant, and deadliest type of brain cancer, accounting for 45% of all brain cancers, with nearly 11,000 men, women, and children diagnosed each year. GBM (also known as grade-4 astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme) are the most common types of malignant (cancerous) primary brain tumors. They are extremely aggressive for a number of reasons. First, glioblastoma cells multiply quickly, as they secrete substances that stimulate a rich blood supply. They also have an ability to invade and infiltrate long distances into the normal brain by sending microscopic tendrils of tumor alongside normal cells. Two types of glioblastomas are known. Primary GBM are the most common form; they grow quickly and often cause symptoms early. Secondary glioblastomas are less common, accounting for about 10 percent of all GBMs. They progress from low-grade diffuse astrocytoma or anaplastic astrocytoma, and are more often found in younger patients. Secondary GBM are preferentially located in the frontal lobe and carry a better prognosis.
GBM is usually treated by combined multi-modal treatment plan including surgical removal of the tumor, radiation and chemotherapy. First, as much tumor as possible is removed during surgery. The tumor's location in the brain often determines how much of it can be safely removed. After surgery, radiation and chemotherapy slow the growth of remaining tumor cells. The oral chemotherapy drug, temozolomide, is most often used for six weeks, and then monthly thereafter. Another drug, bevacizumab (known as Avastin®), is also used during treatment. This drug attacks the tumor's ability to recruit blood supply, often slowing or even stopping tumor growth.
Novel investigational treatments are also used and these may involve adding treatments to the standard therapy or replacing one part of the standard therapy with a different treatment that may work better. Some of these treatments include immunotherapy such as vaccine immunotherapies, or low-dose pulses of electricity to the area of the brain where the tumor exists and nano therapies involving spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) such as NU-0129. In some embodiments, the methods of the current disclosure are used in combination with one or more of the aforementioned therapies.
Embodiments of the methods and compositions discussed herein are also contemplated to be applicable to other types of cancers, including but not limited to lung cancer, non-CNS cancers, CNS cancers, and CNS metastases such as brain metastases, leptomeningeal metastases, choroidal metastases, spinal cord metastases, and others.
The inventors have demonstrated that the pharmacological p53 stabilization, such as with a CNS-penetrant small molecule, for example, was synergistically lethal with the inhibition of EGFR-driven glucose uptake in patient-derived, primary GBM models. The inventors have demonstrated, for the first time, that the non-transcriptional functions of p53 can have a critical role in stimulating intrinsic apoptosis in metabolic responders. Accordingly, the methods of treatment described herein comprise the administration of cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer(s) in combination with glucose metabolism inhibitors. Cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer(s) and glucose metabolism inhibitors can be administered in the same or in different compositions, cocomitantly or sequentially. It is contemplated that in some embodiments a single p53 stabilizer is used and in other embodiments more than on p53 stabilizer is used. For example, the combination of nutlin with ABT 737 (which binds BCL-2 and BCL-XL) is reported to synergistically target the balance of pro-apoptotic and anti-apotptoic proteins at the mitochondrial level, thereby promoting cell death. (Hoe et al. 2014. Nature Reviews. Vol. 13. pp. 217) As intended herein, a cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer is any small molecule, antibody, peptide, protein, nucleic acid or derivatives thereof that can pharmacologically stabilize or activate p53 directly or indirectly. The stabilization of cytoplasmic p53 leads to priming cells, such as cancer cells, for apoptosis.
Protein levels of p53 within cells are tightly controlled and kept low by its negative regulator, the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase MDM2. In embodiments of the methods or composition of the current disclosure, the cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer is an MDM2 antagonist/inhibitor. In some embodiments, the MDM2 antagonist is a nutlin. In further embodiments, the nutlin is nutlin-3 or idasanutlin. In other embodiments, the MDM2 antagonist is RO5045337 (also known as RG7112), RO5503781, RO6839921, SAR405838 (also known as MI-773), DS-3032, DS-3032b, or AMG-232 or any other MDM2 inhibitor.
Other compounds within the scope of the current methods known to bind MDM-2 include Ro-2443, MI-219, MI-713, MI-888, DS-3032b, benzodiazepinediones (for example, TDP521252), sulphonamides (for example, NSC279287), chromenotriazolopyrimidine, morpholinone and piperidinones (AM-8553), terphenyls, chalcones, pyrazoles, imidazoles, imidazole-indoles, isoindolinone, pyrrolidinone (for example, PXN822), priaxon, piperidines, naturally derived prenylated xanthones, SAH-8 (stapled peptides) sMTide-02, sMTide-02a (stapled peptides), ATSP-7041 (stapled peptide), spiroligomer (α-helix mimic). Other compounds that are known to cause protein folding of MDM2 include PRIMA-1MET (also known as APR-246) Aprea 102-105, PK083, PK5174, PK5196, PK7088, benzothiazoles, stictic acid and NSC319726.
In further embodiments of the current methods or compositions, the cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer is a BCL-2 inhibitor. In some embodiments, the BCL-2 inhibitor is, for example, antisense oligodeoxynucleotide G3139, mRNA antagonist SPC2996, venetoclax (ABT-199), GDC-0199, obatoclax, paclitaxel, navitoclax (ABT-263), ABT-737, NU-0129, S 055746, APG-1252 or any other BCL-2 inhibitor.
In yet further embodiments of the current methods or compositions, the cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer is a Bcl-xL inhibitor. In some embodiments, the Bcl-xL inhibitor is, for example, WEHI 539, ABT-263, ABT-199, ABT-737, sabutoclax, AT101, TW-37, APG-1252, gambogic acid or any other Bcl-xL inhibitor.
In embodiments of the methods and compositions of the current disclosure, the subject with GBM or cancer is classified to be either a “metabolic responder” or a “metabolic non-responder” i.e. determined to be susceptible to glucose metabolism inhibitors. In certain embodiments, the classification of the subject is prior to administering to the subject a treatment comprising a glucose metabolism inhibitor and a cytoplasmic p53 stabilizer. Accordingly, the current disclosure provides for methods for assessing a cancer, classifying a subject, determining the susceptibility of a subject to treatments involve analysis of glucose metabolism, glycolysis or glucose uptake. Methods to classify a subject as metabolic responder is described in details in Example 1. Techniques to monitor glycolysis and glucose uptake is provided by T. TeSlaa and M. A. Teitell. 2014. Methods in Enzymology, Volume 542, pp. 92-114, incorporated herein by reference.
Glycolysis is the intracellular biochemical conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate with the concurrent generation of two molecules of ATP. Pyruvate is a metabolic intermediate with several potential fates including entrance into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle within mitochondria to produce NADH and FADH2. Alternatively, pyruvate can be converted into lactate in the cytosol by lactate dehydrogenase with concurrent regeneration of NAD+ from NADH. An increased flux through glycolysis supports the proliferation of cancer cells by providing, for example, additional energy in the form of ATP as well as glucose-derived metabolic intermediates for nucleotide, lipid, and protein biosynthesis. Warburg (Oncologia. 1956; 9(2):75-83) first observed that proliferating tumor cells augment aerobic glycolysis, the conversion of glucose to lactate in the presence of oxygen, in contrast to nonmalignant cells that mainly respire when oxygen is available. This mitochondrial bypass, called the Warburg effect, occurs in rapidly proliferating cells including cancer cells, activated lymphocytes, and pluripotent stem cells. The Warburg effect has been exploited for clinical diagnostic tests that use positron emission tomography (PET) scanning to identify increased cellular uptake of fluorinated glucose analogs such as 18F-deoxyglucose.
Thus, glycolysis represent a target for therapeutic and diagnostic methods. In the context of the current methods, the measurement of glucose uptake and lactate excretion by malignant cells may be useful to detect shifts in glucose catabolism and/or susceptibility to glucose metabolism inhibitors. Detecting such shifts is important for methods of treating GBM, methods of reducing the risk of ineffective therapy, methods for reducing the chances of tumor survival. For the purposes of this disclosure, 18F-deoxyglucose PET serves in certain embodiments as a rapid non-invasive functional biomarker to predict sensitivity to p53 activation. This non-invasive analysis could be particularly valuable for malignant brain tumors where pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics assessment is extremely difficult and impractical. In some cases, delayed imaging protocols (41) and parametric response maps (PRMs) with MRI fusion can be useful for quantifying the changes in tumour 18F-FDG uptake (42).
In certain aspects, the methods can relate to measuring glucose uptake and lactate production. For cells in culture, glycolytic flux can be quantified by measuring glucose uptake and lactate excretion. Glucose uptake into the cell is through glucose transporters (Glut1-Glut4), whereas lactate excretion is through monocarboxylate transporters (MCT1-MCT4) at the cell membrane.
Methods to detect glucose uptake and lactate excretion include, for example, extracellular glucose or lactate kit, extracellular bioanalyzer, ECAR measurement, [3H]-2-DG or [14C]-2-DG uptake 18FDG uptake or 2-NBDG uptake.
Commercially available kits and instruments are available to quantify glucose and lactate levels within cell culture media. Kit detection methods are usually colorimetric or fluorometric and are compatible with standard lab equipment such as spectrophotometers. BioProfile Analyzers (such as Nova Biomedical) or Biochemistry Analyzers (such as for example YSI Life Sciences) can measure levels of both glucose and lactate in cell culture media. GlucCell (Cesco BioProducts) can measure only glucose levels in cell culture media. While each commercial method has a different detection protocol, the collection of culture media for analysis is the same.
Glycolysis can also be determined through measurements of the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) of the surrounding media, which is predominately from the excretion of lactic acid per unit time after its conversion from pyruvate. The Seahorse extracellular flux (XF) analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience) is a tool for measuring glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (through oxygen consumption) simultaneously in the same cells.
Certain embodiments of the methods of the current disclosure include the use of glucose analogs. As would be familiar to a person skilled in the art, to determine the glucose uptake rate by cells, a labeled isoform of glucose can be added to the cell culture media and then measured within cells after a given period of time. Exemplary types of glucose analogs for these studies include but are not limited to radioactive glucose analogs, such as 2-deoxy-D-[1,2-3H]-glucose, 2-deoxy-D-[1-14C]-glucose, or 2-deoxy-2-(18F)-fluoro-D-glucose (18FDG), or fluorescent glucose analogs, such as 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diaxol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG). Measurements of radioactive glucose analog uptake require a scintillation counter, whereas 2-NBDG uptake is usually measured by flow cytometry or fluorescent microscopy. In some embodiments, the glucose uptake is measured by the uptake of radio-labelled glucose 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG). In further embodiments, detecting the 18F-FDG is by positron emission tomography (PET). In some embodiments, the biopsy is taken from a GBM tumor. A detailed description of an example of measuring 18F-FDG is provided in the examples below.
In certain aspects, the methods can relate to comparing glucose uptake of a biological sample such as a tumor sample with a control. Fold increases or decreases may be, be at least, or be at most 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, 16-, 17-, 18-, 19-, 20-, 25-, 30-, 35-, 40-, 45-, 50-, 55-, 60-, 65-, 70-, 75-, 80-, 85-, 90-, 95-, 100- or more, or any range derivable therein.

Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in this application shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, nomenclature used in connection with, and techniques of, chemistry, cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, cell and cancer biology, neurobiology, neurochemistry, virology, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, genetics and protein and nucleic acid chemistry, described herein, are those well known and commonly used in the art.
The methods and techniques of the present disclosure are generally performed, unless otherwise indicated, according to conventional methods well known in the art and as described in various general and more specific references that are cited and discussed throughout this specification. See, e.g. “Principles of Neural Science”, McGraw-Hill Medical, New York, N.Y. (2000); Motulsky, “Intuitive Biostatistics”, Oxford University Press, Inc. (1995); Lodish et al., “Molecular Cell Biology, 4th ed.”, W. H. Freeman & Co., New York (2000); Griffiths et al., “Introduction to Genetic Analysis, 7th ed.”, W. H. Freeman & Co., N.Y. (1999); and Gilbert et al., “Developmental Biology, 6th ed.”, Sinauer Associates, Inc., Sunderland, Mass. (2000).
Chemistry terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, are used according to conventional usage in the art, as exemplified by “The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms”, Parker S., Ed., McGraw-Hill, San Francisco, Calif. (1985).
All of the above, and any other publications, patents and published patent applications referred to in this application are specifically incorporated by reference herein. In case of conflict, the present specification, including its specific definitions, will control.
The term “agent” is used herein to denote a chemical compound (such as an organic or inorganic compound, a mixture of chemical compounds), a biological macromolecule (such as a nucleic acid, an antibody, including parts thereof as well as humanized, chimeric and human antibodies and monoclonal antibodies, a protein or portion thereof, e.g., a peptide, a lipid, a carbohydrate), or an extract made from biological materials such as bacteria, plants, fungi, or animal (particularly mammalian) cells or tissues. Agents include, for example, agents whose structure is known, and those whose structure is not known. The ability of such agents to inhibit AR or promote AR degradation may render them suitable as “therapeutic agents” in the methods and compositions of this disclosure.
A “patient,” “subject,” or “individual” are used interchangeably and refer to either a human or a non-human animal. These terms include mammals, such as humans, primates, livestock animals (including bovines, porcines, etc.), companion animals (e.g., canines, felines, etc.) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats).
“Treating” a condition or patient refers to taking steps to obtain beneficial or desired results, including clinical results. As used herein, and as well understood in the art, “treatment” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e. not worsening) state of disease, preventing spread of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment.
The term “preventing” is art-recognized, and when used in relation to a condition, such as a local recurrence (e.g., pain), a disease such as cancer, a syndrome complex such as heart failure or any other medical condition, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a composition which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the composition. Thus, prevention of cancer includes, for example, reducing the number of detectable cancerous growths in a population of patients receiving a prophylactic treatment relative to an untreated control population, and/or delaying the appearance of detectable cancerous growths in a treated population versus an untreated control population, e.g., by a statistically and/or clinically significant amount.
“Administering” or “administration of” a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject can be carried out using one of a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, a compound or an agent can be administered, intravenously, arterially, intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, ocularly, sublingually, orally (by ingestion), intranasally (by inhalation), intraspinally, intracerebrally, and transdermally (by absorption, e.g., through a skin duct). A compound or agent can also appropriately be introduced by rechargeable or biodegradable polymeric devices or other devices, e.g., patches and pumps, or formulations, which provide for the extended, slow or controlled release of the compound or agent. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and/or over one or more extended periods.
Appropriate methods of administering a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject will also depend, for example, on the age and/or the physical condition of the subject and the chemical and biological properties of the compound or agent (e.g., solubility, digestibility, bioavailability, stability and toxicity). In some embodiments, a compound or an agent is administered orally, e.g., to a subject by ingestion. In some embodiments, the orally administered compound or agent is in an extended release or slow release formulation, or administered using a device for such slow or extended release.
As used herein, the phrase “conjoint administration” refers to any form of administration of two or more different therapeutic agents such that the second agent is administered while the previously administered therapeutic agent is still effective in the body (e.g., the two agents are simultaneously effective in the patient, which may include synergistic effects of the two agents). For example, the different therapeutic compounds can be administered either in the same formulation or in separate formulations, either concomitantly or sequentially. Thus, an individual who receives such treatment can benefit from a combined effect of different therapeutic agents.
A “therapeutically effective amount” or a “therapeutically effective dose” of a drug or agent is an amount of a drug or an agent that, when administered to a subject will have the intended therapeutic effect. The full therapeutic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. The precise effective amount needed for a subject will depend upon, for example, the subject's size, health and age, and the nature and extent of the condition being treated, such as cancer or MDS. The skilled worker can readily determine the effective amount for a given situation by routine experimentation.

Either the mono or di-acid salts can be formed, and such salts may exist in either a hydrated, solvated or substantially anhydrous form. In general, the acid addition salts of compounds of Formula I are more soluble in water and various hydrophilic organic solvents, and generally demonstrate higher melting points in comparison to their free base forms. The selection of the appropriate salt will be known to one skilled in the art.

“Prodrug” or “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” refers to a compound that is metabolized, for example hydrolyzed or oxidized, in the host after administration to form the compound of the present disclosure (e.g., compounds of formula I). Typical examples of prodrugs include compounds that have biologically labile or cleavable (protecting) groups on a functional moiety of the active compound. Prodrugs include compounds that can be oxidized, reduced, aminated, deaminated, hydroxylated, dehydroxylated, hydrolyzed, dehydrolyzed, alkylated, dealkylated, acylated, deacylated, phosphorylated, or dephosphorylated to produce the active compound. Examples of prodrugs using ester or phosphoramidate as biologically labile or cleavable (protecting) groups are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,875,751, 7,585,851, and 7,964,580, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The prodrugs of this disclosure are metabolized to produce a compound of Formula I. The present disclosure includes within its scope, prodrugs of the compounds described herein. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrugs are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs” Ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used herein means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filter, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material useful for formulating a drug for medicinal or therapeutic use.
The term “Log of solubility”, “Log S” or “log S” as used herein is used in the art to quantify the aqueous solubility of a compound. The aqueous solubility of a compound significantly affects its absorption and distribution characteristics. A low solubility often goes along with a poor absorption. Log S value is a unit stripped logarithm (base 10) of the solubility measured in mol/liter.
The compositions and methods of the present invention may be utilized to treat an individual in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the individual is a mammal such as a human, or a non-human mammal. When administered to an animal, such as a human, the composition or the compound is preferably administered as a pharmaceutical composition comprising, for example, a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art and include, for example, aqueous solutions such as water or physiologically buffered saline or other solvents or vehicles such as glycols, glycerol, oils such as olive oil, or injectable organic esters. In preferred embodiments, when such pharmaceutical compositions are for human administration, particularly for invasive routes of administration (i.e., routes, such as injection or implantation, that circumvent transport or diffusion through an epithelial barrier), the aqueous solution is pyrogen-free, or substantially pyrogen-free. The excipients can be chosen, for example, to effect delayed release of an agent or to selectively target one or more cells, tissues or organs. The pharmaceutical composition can be in dosage unit form such as tablet, capsule (including sprinkle capsule and gelatin capsule), granule, lyophile for reconstitution, powder, solution, syrup, suppository, injection or the like. The composition can also be present in a transdermal delivery system, e.g., a skin patch. The composition can also be present in a solution suitable for topical administration, such as a lotion, cream, or ointment.
A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can contain physiologically acceptable agents that act, for example, to stabilize, increase solubility or to increase the absorption of a compound such as a compound of the invention. Such physiologically acceptable agents include, for example, carbohydrates, such as glucose, sucrose or dextrans, antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid or glutathione, chelating agents, low molecular weight proteins or other stabilizers or excipients. The choice of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, including a physiologically acceptable agent, depends, for example, on the route of administration of the composition. The preparation or pharmaceutical composition can be a selfemulsifying drug delivery system or a selfmicroemulsifying drug delivery system. The pharmaceutical composition (preparation) also can be a liposome or other polymer matrix, which can have incorporated therein, for example, a compound of the invention. Liposomes, for example, which comprise phospholipids or other lipids, are nontoxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable carriers that are relatively simple to make and administer.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used herein means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol; (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; (13) agar; (14) buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; (15) alginic acid; (16) pyrogen-free water; (17) isotonic saline; (18) Ringer's solution; (19) ethyl alcohol; (20) phosphate buffer solutions; and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations.
A pharmaceutical composition (preparation) can be administered to a subject by any of a number of routes of administration including, for example, orally (for example, drenches as in aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions, tablets, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), boluses, powders, granules, pastes for application to the tongue); absorption through the oral mucosa (e.g., sublingually); subcutaneously; transdermally (for example as a patch applied to the skin); and topically (for example, as a cream, ointment or spray applied to the skin). The compound may also be formulated for inhalation. In certain embodiments, a compound may be simply dissolved or suspended in sterile water. Details of appropriate routes of administration and compositions suitable for same can be found in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,110,973, 5,763,493, 5,731,000, 5,541,231, 5,427,798, 5,358,970 and 4,172,896, as well as in patents cited therein.
The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host being treated, the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of the compound which produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred percent, this amount will range from about 1 percent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, most preferably from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.
Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association an active compound, such as a compound of the invention, with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound of the present invention with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.
Formulations of the invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), lyophile, powders, granules, or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as an elixir or syrup, or as pastilles (using an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia) and/or as mouth washes and the like, each containing a predetermined amount of a compound of the present invention as an active ingredient. Compositions or compounds may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste.
To prepare solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; (10) complexing agents, such as, modified and unmodified cyclodextrins; and (11) coloring agents. In the case of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.
The tablets, and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions, such as dragees, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes and/or microspheres. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions that can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain portion of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-described excipients.
Liquid dosage forms useful for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, lyophiles for reconstitution, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, cyclodextrins and derivatives thereof, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.
Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.
Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.
Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that may be required.
The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.
Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to an active compound, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound of the present invention to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the active compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
The phrases “parenteral administration” and “administered parenterally” as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrasternal injection and infusion. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more active compounds in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.
Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers that may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the subject compounds in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer, and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissue.
For use in the methods of this invention, active compounds can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Methods of introduction may also be provided by rechargeable or biodegradable devices. Various slow release polymeric devices have been developed and tested in vivo in recent years for the controlled delivery of drugs, including proteinaceous biopharmaceuticals. A variety of biocompatible polymers (including hydrogels), including both biodegradable and non-degradable polymers, can be used to form an implant for the sustained release of a compound at a particular target site.
Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.
The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular compound or combination of compounds employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound(s) being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compound(s) employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.
A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the pharmaceutical composition or compound at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. By “therapeutically effective amount” is meant the concentration of a compound that is sufficient to elicit the desired therapeutic effect. It is generally understood that the effective amount of the compound will vary according to the weight, sex, age, and medical history of the subject. Other factors which influence the effective amount may include, but are not limited to, the severity of the patient's condition, the disorder being treated, the stability of the compound, and, if desired, another type of therapeutic agent being administered with the compound of the invention. A larger total dose can be delivered by multiple administrations of the agent. Methods to determine efficacy and dosage are known to those skilled in the art (Isselbacher et al. (1996) Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 13 ed., 1814-1882, herein incorporated by reference).
In general, a suitable daily dose of an active compound used in the compositions and methods of the invention will be that amount of the compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.
If desired, the effective daily dose of the active compound may be administered as one, two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the active compound may be administered two or three times daily. In preferred embodiments, the active compound will be administered once daily.
The patient receiving this treatment is any animal in need, including primates, in particular humans; and other mammals such as equines, cattle, swine, sheep, cats, and dogs; poultry; and pets in general.
In certain embodiments, compounds of the invention may be used alone or conjointly administered with another type of therapeutic agent.

General Procedures: Compounds of the JGK series may be prepared by the methods described below, or by any other suitable method. The JGK series compounds are sometimes referred to herein with a JCN prefix. All reactions were routinely carried out under an inert atmosphere of argon. Unless otherwise noted, materials were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without purification. All solvents were purified and dried by standard techniques just before use. THF and Et2O were freshly distilled from sodium and benzophenone. Methylene chloride, toluene, and benzene were purified by refluxing with CaH2. Reactions were checked by thin layer chromatography (Kieselgel 60 F254, Merck). Spots were detected by viewing under a UV light, and by colorizing with charring after dipping in a p-anisaldehyde solution or phosphomolybdic acid solution. In aqueous work-up, all organic solutions were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered prior to rotary evaporation at water pump pressure. The crude compounds were purified by column chromatography on a silica gel (SilicaFlash P60, 230-400 mesh, SiliCycle Inc). Proton (1H) and carbon (13C) NMR spectra were obtained on a Bruker AV 400 (400/100 MHz) or Bruker AV500 (500/125 MHz) spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm units with Me4Si or CHCl3 as the internal standard. Splitting patterns are designated by: s, singlet; d, doublet; t, triplet; m, multiplet; b, broad. High resolution mass spectrometry data was obtained using a Thermo Fisher Scientific Exactive Plus with IonSense ID-CUBE DART source.

General Procedures: All chemicals, reagents, and solvents were purchased from commercial sources when available and were used as received. When necessary, reagents and solvents were purified and dried by standard methods. Air- and moisture-sensitive reactions were carried out under an inert atmosphere of argon in oven-dried glassware. Microwave-irradiated reactions were carried out in a single mode reactor CEM Discover microwave synthesizer. Room temperature (RT) reactions were carried out at ambient temperature (approximately 23° C.). All reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on precoated Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates with spots visualized by UV light (λ=254, 365 nm) or by using an alkaline KMnO4 solution. Flash column chromatography (FC) was carried out on SiO2 60 (particle size 0.040-0.063 mm, 230-400 mesh). Concentration under reduced pressure (in vacuo) was performed by rotary evaporation at 25-50° C. Purified compounds were further dried under high vacuum or in a desiccator. Yields correspond to purified compounds, and were not further optimized. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (operating at 300, 400, or 500 MHz). Carbon NMR (13C NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (either at 400 or 500 MHz). NMR chemical shifts (δ ppm) were referenced to the residual solvent signals. 1H NMR data are reported as follows: chemical shift in ppm; multiplicity (s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, quint=quintet, m=multiplet/complex pattern, td=triplet of doublets, ddd=doublet of doublet of doublets, br=broad signal); coupling constants (J) in Hz, integration. Data for 13C NMR spectra are reported in terms of chemical shift, and if applicable coupling constants. High resolution mass (HRMS) spectra were recorded on a Thermo Fisher Scientific Exactive Plus with IonSense ID-CUBE DART source mass spectrometer, or on a Waters LCT Premier mass spectrometer with ACQUITY UPLC with autosampler.

Changes in glucose consumption with acute EGFR inhibition across 19 patient-derived GBM cell lines was characterized. The cells were cultured in supplemented serum-free medium as gliomaspheres which, in contrast to serum-based culture conditions, preserve many of the molecular features of patient tumors. Treatment with the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFRi) erlotinib identified a subset of GBMs whose radio-labeled glucose uptake (18F-FDG) was significantly attenuated with EGFR inhibition; hereafter termed “metabolic responders” (
In contrast, in all “non-responders” GBMs (i.e. no change in 18F-FDG uptake with EGFRi or siRNA) (
Perturbations in glucose metabolism can induce the expression of pro-apoptotic factors and stimulate intrinsic apoptosis, suggesting that reduced glucose uptake in response to EGFRi would stimulate the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Indeed, acute erlotinib treatment promoted the expression of the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins, BIM and PUMA, only in the metabolic responder cultures (
The low level of apoptosis, despite pronounced induction of pro-apoptotic factors, led the inventors to ask if perturbing glucose uptake with EGFRi “primes” GBM cells for apoptosis; thus increasing the propensity for apoptosis without inducing significant cell death. To test this, the inventors treated both metabolic responders and non-responders with erlotinib for 24 hours and performed dynamic BH3 profiling to quantify the changes in apoptotic priming (
The inventors tested if reduced glucose uptake is required for apoptotic priming with EGFRi, by checking whether rescuing glucose consumption should mitigate these effects. To test this, glucose transporters 1 (GLUT1) and 3 (GLUT3) were ectopically expressed in two metabolic responders (HK301 and GBM39). Enforced expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 (GLUT1/3) rescued EGFRi-mediated attenuation of glucose uptake and lactate production in both cell lines (
The mechanism by which GBMs become primed for apoptosis with EGFRi was investigated. The inhibition of oncogene-driven glucose metabolism renders GBM cells synergistically susceptible to cytoplasmic p53 dependent apoptosis. Attenuated glucose metabolic flux in GBM, via targeting oncogenic signaling (e.g., EGFRi), results in cytoplasmic p53 engaging the intrinsic apoptotic pathway (“priming”). However, Bcl-xL blocks cytoplasmic p53-mediated cell death. Pharmacological p53 stabilization overcomes this apoptotic block, leading to synergistic lethality with combined targeting of oncogene-driven glucose metabolism in GBM.
In cells that are in a primed state, the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins (e.g. Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mel-1) are largely loaded with pro-apoptotic BH3 proteins (e.g., BIM, BID, PUMA, BAD, NOXA, HRK); consequently, cells are dependent on these interactions for survival. The tumor suppressor protein, p53, is known to upregulate pro-apoptotic proteins that subsequently need to be bound by anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins to prevent cell death. To examine whether p53 is required for EGFRi-induced priming, we silenced p53 with CRISPR/CAS-9 (hereafter referred to as p53KO) in two metabolic responders (HK301 and HK336,
As p53 transcriptional activity has been shown to be enhanced under glucose limitation, it we investigated to determine whether p53-mediated transcription was induced by EGFRi. However, erlotinib did not increase the expression of p53-regulated genes (e.g., p21, MDM2, PIG3, TIGAR) (
In addition to p53's well-described nuclear functions, p53 can localize in the cytoplasm where it can directly engage the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. To evaluate whether cytoplasmic p53 is important for apoptotic priming with EGFRi, we stably introduced a p53 mutant with a defective nuclear localization signal (p53cyto) into HK301 and HK336 p53KO gliomaspheres. As expected, p53cyto was expressed (
Prior work demonstrated that human tumor-derived p53 mutants—specifically those in the DNA binding domain—have diminished cytoplasmic functions in addition to transactivation deficiencies. Thus, the inventors tested whether stable expression of two of these “hotspot” p53 mutants, R175H or R273H, in HK301 p53KO would have reduced EGFRi-mediated priming (
Bcl-xL can sequester cytoplasmic p53 and prevent p53-mediated apoptosis; thus creating a primed apoptotic state and a dependency on Bcl-xL for survival. Indeed, BH3 profiling revealed a dependence on Bcl-xL for cell survival in EGFRi metabolic responders (
The liberation of p53 from Bcl-xL enables p53 to directly activate BAX, resulting in cytochrome c release and cell death. Once we recognized increased binding between Bcl-xL and p53 in metabolic responders in response to EGFRi, we asked whether displacement of p53 from Bcl-xL elicits apoptosis. To test this, we treated a metabolic responder (HK301) with erlotinib and the specific Bcl-xL inhibitor, WEHI-539. The addition of WEHI-539 disrupted the association of Bcl-xL with p53 under erlotinib treatment (
The mechanistic studies revealed a potential therapeutic opportunity in EGFR-driven GBMs that will be dependent on functional p53. While the p53 signaling axis is one of the three core pathways altered in GBM, analysis of the TCGA GBM dataset demonstrated that p53 mutations are mutually exclusive with alterations in EGFR (
The role of p53 in eliciting cell death to combined erlotinib and nutlin was then investigated. As expected, CRISPR/CAS-9 targeting of p53 in two EGFRi metabolic responders (HK301 and HK336) completely mitigated sensitivity to the drug combination (
While cytoplasmic p53 is desired to promote cell death with the drug combination, we observed in some instances that both the transcription-dependent and independent functions of p53 are needed for optimal execution of synergistic apoptosis with nutlin (
The aforementioned data led the inventors to propose a model where EGFRi-mediated attenuation of glucose metabolism primes the apoptotic machinery, resulting in synergy with pro-apoptotic stimuli such as p53 activation. The synergy lies between induction of cellular stress by EGFR inhibitors, reduction of glucose uptake and the priming of the cell for apoptosis and the stabilization of p53 by antagonists of BCL-2. EGFR inhibition can rapidly attenuate glycolysis in cellular stress. This creates a tumor-specific vulnerability in which intrinsic apoptosis can be significantly enhanced by: 1) activation of p53 (such as, for example, through nutlin, analogues or others described herein) and 2) inhibition of BCL-2 (by any of several agents as described herein such as for example, ABT-263 (Navitoclax).
A logical prediction of this model is that direct inhibition of glucose metabolism should phenocopy the effects of EGFRi. Consistent with this, addition of the glucose metabolic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) stimulated apoptotic priming, binding of p53 to Bcl-xL, and synergy with nutlin in HK301 cells (an EGFRi metabolic responder) (
This prompted the inventors to consider whether modulating glucose consumption in EGFRi non-responders results in a similar p53-dependent vulnerability. To investigate this, they tested whether direct inhibition of glucose uptake, with 2DG, or through targeting PI3K—a well characterized driver of glucose metabolism—elicits apoptotic priming in two EGFRi metabolic non-responders (
The results obtained in cell culture show that combined targeting of oncogene-driven glucose metabolism and p53 has synergistic activity in primary GBM. This led the us to investigate whether this approach could be effective in orthotopic GBM xenograft models. For these studies, we employed a potent, MDM2 inhibitor, Idasanutlin, which is currently in clinical trials for many malignancies. Given the uncertainty of CNS penetration for Idasanutlin, we first demonstrated that Idasanutlin can accumulate in the brain of mice with an intact blood-brain-barrier (brain:plasma, 0.35) and stabilizes p53 in orthotopic tumor-bearing mice (
Next, as perturbations in glucose metabolism with oncogene inhibition are required for synergistic sensitivity to p53 activation, we reasoned that rapid attenuation in glucose uptake in vivo following EGFRi administration—as measured by 18F-FDG PET—could serve as a non-invasive predictive biomarker for therapeutic efficacy of combined erlotinib+Idasanutlin treatment (
Finally, we evaluated the effects of the drug combination on overall survival in orthotopic xenografts of either two EGFRi metabolic responders (GBM39 and HK336) or two non-responders (HK393 and GS025). All tumors were p53 wild-type (
We tested how direct inhibition of glycolysis with a hexokinase inhibitor (2DG) and a glucose transporter inhibitor (cytochalasin B) affect p53 activation by nutlin. The results shown in

For intracranial experiments, GBM39, HK336, HK393, and GS025 cells were injected (4×105 cells per injection) into the right striatum of the brain of female NSG mice (6-8 weeks old). Injection coordinates were 2 mm lateral and 1 mm posterior to bregma, at a depth of 2 mm. Tumor burden was monitored by secreted gaussia luciferase and following three consecutive growth measurements, mice were randomized into four treatment arms consisting of appropriate vehicles, 75 mg/kg erlotinib, 50 mg/kg Idasanutlin, or a combination of both drugs. Vehicle consisted of 0.5% methylcellulose in water, which is used to dissolve erlotinib, and a proprietary formulation obtained from Roche, which is used to dissolve Idasanutlin. Tumor burden was assessed twice per week by secreted gaussia luciferase. When possible, mice were treated for 25 days and taken off treatment and monitored for survival. Drugs were administered through oral gavage. Sample sizes were chosen based off estimates from pilot experiments and results from previous literature12. Investigators were not blinded to group allocation or assessment of outcome. All studies were in accordance with UCLA OARO protocol guidelines.
Mice were treated with indicated dose and time of erlotinib then pre-warmed, anesthetized with 2% isoflurane, and intravenously injected with 70 μCi of 18F-FDG. Following 1 hr unconscious uptake, mice were taken off anesthesia but kept warm for another 5 hr of uptake. 6 hr after the initial administration of 18F-FDG, mice were imaged using G8 PET/CT scanner (Sofie Biosciences). Per above, quantification was performed by drawing 3D regions of interest (ROI) using the AMIDE software.
Immunohistochemistry was performed on 4 μm sections that were cut from FFPE (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded) blocks. Sections were then deparaffinised with xylene and rehydrated through graded ethanol. Antigen retrieval was achieved with a pH 9.5 Nuclear Decloaker (Biocare Medical) in a Decloaking pressure cooker at 95° C. for 40 min. Tissue sections were then treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide (LOT 161509; Fisher Chemical) and with Background Sniper (Biocare Medical, Concord, Calif., USA) to reduce nonspecific background staining. Primary antibody for p53 (Cell Signaling, 2527) was applied in a 1:150 dilution for 80 min followed by detection with the MACH 3 Rabbit HRP-Polymer Detection kit (Biocare Medical).

Cytoplasmic (K305A and R306A) and wild-type p53 constructs were a kind gift from R. Agami and G. Lahav. The genes of interest were cloned into a lentiviral vector containing a PGK promoter. Constructs for p53 DNA binding domain mutants (R175H) and (R273H) as well as the nuclear mutant (L348A and L350A) were generated using site-directed mutagenesis (New England Biolabs #E0554S) on the wild-type p53 construct.
For EGFR knockdown experiments, siRNA against EGFR (Thermo Fischer Scientific, s563) was transfected into cells using DharmaFECT 4 (Dharmacon). Following 48 hours, cells were harvested and used for indicated experiments.
For immunofluorescence, gliomaspheres were first disassociated to single cell and adhered to the 96-well plates using Cell-Tak (Corning) according to manufacturer instructions. Adhered cells were then fixed with ice-cold methanol for 10 min then washed three times with PBS. Cells were then incubated with blocking solution containing 10% FBS and 3% BSA in PBS for 1 hr and subsequently incubated with p53 (Santa Cruz, SC-126, dilution of 1:50) antibody overnight at 4° C. The following day, cells were incubated with secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 647, dilution 1:2000) for an hour and DAPI staining for 10 min, then imaged using a Nikon TI Eclipse microscope equipped with a Cascade II fluorescent camera (Roper Scientific). Cells were imaged with emissions at 461 nM and 647 nM and then processed using NIS-Elements AR analysis software.
For metabolic measurements involving OCR and ECAR, gliomaspheres treated with indicated drugs were first disassociated to single cell suspensions and adhered to XF24 plates (Seahorse Bioscience) using Cell-Tak (Corning) according to manufacturer instructions. Prior to the assay, cells were supplemented with unbuffered DMEM, and incubated at 37° C. for 30 min before starting OCR and ECAR measurements. Basal ECAR measurements between control and erlotinib treated cells are shown.
Male CD-1 mice (6-8 weeks old) were treated with 50 mg/kg Idasanutlin in duplicate through oral gavage. At 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hr after administration, mice were sacrificed, blood was harvested by retro-orbital bleeding, and brain tissue was collected. Whole blood from mice was centrifuged to isolate plasma. Idasanutlin was isolated by liquid-liquid extraction from plasma: 50 μL plasma was added to 2 μL internal standard and 100 μL acetonitrile. Mouse brain tissue was washed with 2 mL cold PBS and homogenized using a tissue homogenizer with fresh 2 mL cold PBS. Idasanutlin was then isolated and reconstituted in a similar manner by liquid-liquid extraction: 100 p L brain homogenate was added to 2 μL internal standard and 200 μL acetonitrile. After vortex mixing, the samples was centrifuged. The supernatant was removed and evaporated by a rotary evaporator and reconstituted in 100 μL 50:50 water: acetonitrile.
Chromatographic separations were performed on a 100×2.1 mm Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (Kinetex) using the 1290 Infinity LC system (Agilent). The mobile phase was composed of solvent A: 0.1% formic acid in Milli-Q water, and B: 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. Analytes were eluted with a gradient of 5% B (0-4 min), 5-99% B (4-32 min), 99% B (32-36 min), and then returned to 5% B for 12 min to re-equilibrate between injections. Injections of 20 p L into the chromatographic system were used with a solvent flow rate of 0.10 mL/min. Mass spectrometry was performed on the 6460 triple quadrupole LC/MS system (Agilent). Ionization was achieved by using electrospray in the positive mode and data acquisition was made in multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode. The MRM transition used for Idasanutlin detection was m/z 616.2→421.2 with fragmentor voltage of 114V, and collision energy of 20 eV. Analyte signal was normalized to the internal standard and concentrations were determined by comparison to the calibration curve (0.5, 5, 50, 250, 500, 2000 nM). Idasanutlin brain concentrations were adjusted by 1.4% of the mouse brain weight for the residual blood in the brain vasculature.
Cells were infected with a lentiviral vector containing secreted gaussia luciferase (sGluc) reporter gene (Targeting Systems # GL-GFP) and intracranially implanted into the right striatum of mice (4×105 cells/mouse). To measure the levels of secreted Gaussia luciferase (sGluc), 6 μL of blood was collected from the tail vein of the mice and immediately mixed with 50 mM EDTA to prevent coagulation. Gluc activity was obtained by measuring chemiluminescence following injection of 100 μL of 100 μM coelentarazine (Nanolight) in a 96 well plate.
1.0×105 GBM cells were plated in triplicate and treated with erlotinib, nutlin, or combination at multiple concentrations using a matrix where each drug was added to the cells at six concentrations (0-10 μM). Annexin V staining was measured following 72 hrs of treatment. Using the Chalice software, the response of the combination was compared to its single agents. The combinatorial effects were calculated using the synergy score.

Nextera Rapid capture and library preparation were used and sequencing performed on a HiSeq 2500, 2×100 bp with 100× on-target coverage, 2 full rapid runs, each with 1 normal diploid control. Copy number analysis for these samples was carried out using EXCAVATOR software.
273 GBM samples from the TCGA were analyzed for genetic alterations in EGFR, p53 and p53-regulated pathways. Co-occurrences of mutations were examined and only significant interactions are displayed. Data was analyzed using cBioPortal as previously described.
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed using commercially available fluorescently labeled dual-color EGFR (red)/CEP 7(green) probe (Abbott-Molecular). FISH hybridization and analyses were performed on cell lines, following the manufacturer's suggested protocols. The cells were counterstained with DAPI and the fluorescent probe signals were imaged under a Zeiss (Axiophot) Fluorescent Microscope equipped with dual- and triple-color filters.
Comparisons were made using two-tailed unpaired Student's t-tests and p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. All data from multiple independent experiments were assumed to be of normal variance. Data represent means±s.e.m. values. All statistical analyses were calculated using Prism 6.0 (GraphPad). For all in vitro and in vivo experiments, no statistical method was used to predetermine sample size and no samples were excluded. For in vivo tumor measurements, the last data sets were used for comparisons between groups. As described above, all mice were randomized before studies.
Certain Compounds of the present disclosure were designed according to Scheme 1.
Exemplary compounds of the present disclosure were prepared according to the following methods.
All chemicals, reagents, and solvents were purchased from commercial sources when available and were used as received. When necessary, reagents and solvents were purified and dried by standard methods. Air- and moisture-sensitive reactions were carried out under an inert atmosphere of argon in oven-dried glassware. Microwave-irradiated reactions were carried out in a single mode reactor CEM Discover microwave synthesizer. Room temperature (RT) reactions were carried out at ambient temperature (approximately 23° C.). All reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on precoated Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates with spots visualized by UV light (λ=254, 365 nm) or by using an alkaline KMnO4 solution. Flash column chromatography (FC) was carried out on SiO2 60 (particle size 0.040-0.063 mm, 230-400 mesh). Preparative thin-layer chromatography (PTLC) was carried out with Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates (20×20 cm, 210-270 mm) or Analtech Silica Gel GF TLC plates (20×20 cm, 1000 mm). Concentration under reduced pressure (in vacuo) was performed by rotary evaporation at 23-50° C. Purified compounds were further dried under high vacuum or in a desiccator. Yields correspond to purified compounds, and were not further optimized. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (operating at 300, 400, or 500 MHz). Carbon NMR (13C NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (either at 400 or 500 MHz). NMR chemical shifts (δ ppm) were referenced to the residual solvent signals. 1H NMR data are reported as follows: chemical shift in ppm; multiplicity (s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, quint=quintet, m=multiplet/complex pattern, td=triplet of doublets, ddd=doublet of doublet of doublets, br=broad signal); coupling constants (J) in Hz, integration. Data for 13C NMR spectra are reported in terms of chemical shift, and if applicable coupling constants. High resolution mass (HRMS) spectra were recorded on a Thermo Fisher Scientific Exactive Plus with IonSense ID-CUBE DART source mass spectrometer, or on a Waters LCT Premier mass spectrometer with ACQUITY UPLC with autosampler.

All chemicals, reagents, and solvents were purchased from commercial sources when available and were used as received. When necessary, reagents and solvents were purified and dried by standard methods. Air- and moisture-sensitive reactions were carried out under an inert atmosphere of argon in oven-dried glassware. Microwave-irradiated reactions were carried out in a single mode reactor CEM Discover microwave synthesizer. Room temperature (RT) reactions were carried out at ambient temperature (approximately 23° C.). All reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) on precoated Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates with spots visualized by UV light (λ=254, 365 nm) or by using an alkaline KMnO4 solution. Flash column chromatography (FC) was carried out on SiO2 60 (particle size 0.040-0.063 mm, 230-400 mesh). Preparative thin-layer chromatography (PTLC) was carried out with Merck 60 F254 silica gel plates (20×20 cm, 210-270 mm) or Analtech Silica Gel GF TLC plates (20×20 cm, 1000 mm). Concentration under reduced pressure (in vacuo) was performed by rotary evaporation at 23-50° C. Purified compounds were further dried under high vacuum or in a desiccator. Yields correspond to purified compounds, and were not further optimized. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (operating at 300, 400, or 500 MHz). Carbon NMR (13C NMR) spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (either at 400 or 500 MHz). NMR chemical shifts (δ ppm) were referenced to the residual solvent signals. 1H NMR data are reported as follows: chemical shift in ppm; multiplicity (s=singlet, d=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, quint=quintet, m=multiplet/complex pattern, td=triplet of doublets, ddd=doublet of doublet of doublets, br=broad signal); coupling constants (J) in Hz, integration. Data for 13C NMR spectra are reported in terms of chemical shift, and if applicable coupling constants. High resolution mass (HRMS) spectra were recorded on a Thermo Fisher Scientific Exactive Plus with IonSense ID-CUBE DART source mass spectrometer, or on a Waters LCT Premier mass spectrometer with ACQUITY UPLC with autosampler.
