The vast majority of small molecule drugs act by binding a functionally important pocket on a target protein, thereby modulating the activity of that protein. For example, cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins bind the enzyme active site of HMG-CoA reductase, thus preventing the enzyme from engaging with its substrates. The fact that many such drug/target interacting pairs are known may have misled some into believing that a small molecule modulator could be discovered for most, if not all, proteins provided a reasonable amount of time, effort, and resources. This is far from the case. Current estimates are that only about 10% of all human proteins are targetable by small molecules. Bojadzic and Buchwald, Curr Top Med Chem 18(8): 674-699 (2019). The other 90% are currently considered refractory or intractable toward above-mentioned small molecule drug discovery. Such targets are commonly referred to as “undruggable.” These undruggable targets include a vast and largely untapped reservoir of medically important human proteins. Thus, there exists a great deal of interest in discovering new molecular modalities capable of modulating the function of such undruggable targets.
It has been well established in literature that Ras proteins (K-Ras, H-Ras and N-Ras) play an essential role in various human cancers and are therefore appropriate targets for anticancer therapy. Dysregulation of Ras proteins by activating mutations, overexpression or upstream activation is common in human tumors, and activating mutations in Ras are frequently found in human cancer. See, e.g., Prior et al., Cancer Res 72(10): 2457-2467 (2012). Of the Ras proteins, K-Ras is the most frequently mutated and is therefore an important target for cancer therapy. Despite extensive small molecule drug discovery efforts against Ras during the last several decades, a drug directly targeting Ras is still not available for clinical use. However, the reputation of the “undruggability” of Ras proteins by small molecules has been challenged of late (see, e.g., Ostrem et al., Nature 503(7477), 548-551 (2013). Additional efforts are needed to uncover new medical treatments for cancers driven by Ras mutations, such as by identifying new small molecule Ras inhibitors.
Covalent drugs bond covalently to their biological target. Covalent drugs have a long history in medicine and will continue to impact drug discovery and human health into the future. Biological targets with nucleophilic functional groups such as —SH, —OH, —NH2, —COOH and others are potentially amenable to a covalent drug discovery approach. For example, the irreversibly covalent drug ibrutinib was approved by the FDA in 2013 for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma, and its label has since been expanded.
Provided herein are compounds which are capable of binding to a Ras protein to form a conjugate by reacting as electrophiles and forming a covalent bond with a nucleophilic Ras amino acid of a Ras protein. Conjugate formation via covalent binding of a compound of the present invention may disrupt downstream signaling of Ras. The Ras protein may be wild type or a mutant Ras protein. The amino acid may, for example, be an aspartic acid, a serine, or a cysteine of a Ras protein. In some embodiments, compounds of the invention form a covalent bond with an aspartic acid, a serine, or a cysteine at the 12 position of a mutant K-Ras, H-Ras or N-Ras protein. In some embodiments, compounds disclosed herein form a covalent bond with the aspartic acid residue at position 12 of K-Ras G12D. In some embodiments, compounds disclosed herein form a covalent bond with the aspartic acid residue at position 13 of K-Ras G13D. In some embodiments, compounds disclosed herein form a covalent bond with the serine residue at position 12 of K-Ras G12S. In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention may be useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders in which Ras, particularly mutated Ras, play a role, such as cancer. Additional aspects of the foregoing are further described herein.

In this application, unless otherwise clear from context, (i) the term “a” is understood to mean “at least one”; (ii) the term “or” is understood to mean “and/or”; (iii) the terms “comprising” and “including” are understood to encompass itemized components or steps whether presented by themselves or together with one or more additional components or steps; and (iv) where ranges are provided, endpoints are included.
As used herein, the term “about” is used to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of error for the device or method being employed to determine the value.
As used herein, the term “adjacent” in the context of describing adjacent atoms refers to bivalent atoms that are directly connected by a covalent bond.
It will be understood that the term “binding” as used herein, typically refers to association (e.g., non-covalent or covalent, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals interaction, hydrophobic interactions, magnetism, and combinations thereof) between or among two or more entities. “Direct” binding involves physical contact between entities or moieties; indirect binding involves physical interaction by way of physical contact with one or more intermediate entities. Binding between two or more entities can typically be assessed in any of a variety of contexts—including where interacting entities or moieties are studied in isolation or in the context of more complex systems (e.g., while covalently or otherwise associated with a carrier entity or in a biological system or cell).
As used herein, the term “corresponding to” is often used to designate a structural element or moiety in a compound of interest that shares a position (e.g., in three-dimensional space or relative to another element or moiety) with one present in an appropriate reference compound. For example, in some embodiments, the term is used to refer to position/identity of a residue in a polymer, such as an amino acid residue in a polypeptide or a nucleotide residue in a nucleic acid. Those of ordinary skill will appreciate that, for purposes of simplicity, residues in such a polymer are often designated using a canonical numbering system based on a reference related polymer, so that a residue in a first polymer “corresponding to” a residue at position 190 in the reference polymer, for example, need not actually be the 190th residue in the first polymer but rather corresponds to the residue found at the 190th position in the reference polymer; those of ordinary skill in the art readily appreciate how to identify “corresponding” amino acids, including through use of one or more commercially-available algorithms specifically designed for polymer sequence comparisons.
As used herein, the term “inhibitor” refers to a compound that i) inhibits, decreases or reduces the effects of a protein, such as a Ras protein; or ii) inhibits, decreases, reduces, or delays one or more biological events. The term “inhibiting” or any variation thereof, includes any measurable decrease or complete inhibition to achieve a desired result. For example, there may be a decrease of about, at most about, or at least about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or more, or any range derivable therein, reduction of activity (e.g., Ras activity) compared to normal.
The term “pure” means substantially pure or free of unwanted components (e.g., other compounds), material defilement, admixture or imperfection.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain compounds described herein can exist in one or more different isomeric (e.g., stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers) and/or isotopic (e.g., in which one or more atoms has been substituted with a different isotope of the atom, such as hydrogen substituted for deuterium) forms. Unless otherwise indicated or clear from context, a depicted structure can be understood to represent any such isomeric or isotopic form, individually or in combination.
Compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present disclosure that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present disclosure are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms.
In some embodiments, one or more compounds depicted herein may exist in different tautomeric forms. As will be clear from context, unless explicitly excluded, references to such compounds encompass all such tautomeric forms. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond and the concomitant migration of a proton. In certain embodiments, a tautomeric form may be a prototropic tautomer, which is an isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge as a reference form. Examples of moieties with prototropic tautomeric forms are ketone—enol pairs, amide—imidic acid pairs, lactam—lactim pairs, amide—imidic acid pairs, enamine—imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system, such as, 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution. In certain embodiments, tautomeric forms result from acetal interconversion.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in some embodiments, isotopes of compounds described herein may be prepared or utilized in accordance with the present invention. “Isotopes” refers to atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers resulting from a different number of neutrons in the nuclei. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. Other isotopes include, e.g., 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 123I, and 125I. In some embodiments, an isotopic substitution (e.g., substitution of hydrogen with deuterium) may alter the physicochemical properties of the molecules, such as metabolism, the distribution of metabolites, or the rate of racemization of a chiral center. Methods of incorporating one or more of such isotopes into compounds are known to those of skill in the art.
As is known in the art, many chemical entities can adopt a variety of different solid forms such as, for example, amorphous forms or crystalline forms (e.g., polymorphs, hydrates, solvate). In some embodiments, compounds of the present invention may be utilized in any such form, including in any solid form. In some embodiments, compounds described or depicted herein may be provided or utilized in hydrate or solvate form.
At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds of the present disclosure are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the present disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C1-C6 alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl. Furthermore, where a compound includes a plurality of positions at which substitutes are disclosed in groups or in ranges, unless otherwise indicated, the present disclosure is intended to cover individual compounds and groups of compounds (e.g., genera and subgenera) containing each and every individual subcombination of members at each position.
The term “optionally substituted X” (e.g., optionally substituted alkyl) is intended to be equivalent to “X, wherein X is optionally substituted” (e.g., “alkyl, wherein said alkyl is optionally substituted”). It is not intended to mean that the feature “X” (e.g., alkyl) per se is optional. As described herein, certain compounds of interest may contain one or more “optionally substituted” moieties. In general, the term “substituted”, whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, means that one or more hydrogens of the designated moiety are replaced with a suitable substituent, e.g., any of the substituents or groups described herein. Unless otherwise indicated, an “optionally substituted” group may have a suitable substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. For example, in the term “optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl-C2-C9 heteroaryl,” the alkyl portion, the heteroaryl portion, or both, may be optionally substituted. Combinations of substituents envisioned by the present disclosure are preferably those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds. The term “stable”, as used herein, refers to compounds that are not substantially altered when subjected to conditions to allow for their production, detection, and, in certain embodiments, their recovery, purification, and use for one or more of the purposes disclosed herein.

In some embodiments, reference to a particular compound may relate to that compound in any form. In some embodiments, for example, a preparation of a single stereoisomer of a compound may be considered to be a different form of the compound than a racemic mixture of the compound; a particular salt of a compound may be considered to be a different form from another salt form of the compound; a preparation containing one conformational isomer ((Z) or (E)) of a double bond may be considered to be a different form from one containing the other conformational isomer ((E) or (Z)) of the double bond; a preparation in which one or more atoms is a different isotope than is present in a reference preparation may be considered to be a different form; etc.
The term “Ras protein” means a protein from the Ras family of related GTPase proteins including K-Ras, H-Ras, and N-Ras. A Ras protein may be a wild-type protein or a mutant protein. In some embodiments, a Ras protein is not a wild-type protein.
K-Ras is encoded by the K-RAS gene. The term “K-Ras” also refers to natural variants of the wild-type K-Ras protein, such as proteins having at least 85% identity (e.g., 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9% identity, or more) to the amino acid sequence of wild-type K-Ras, which is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.
H-Ras is encoded by the H-RAS gene. The term “H-Ras” also refers to natural variants of the wild-type H-Ras protein, such as proteins having at least 85% identity (e.g., 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9% identity, or more) to the amino acid sequence of wild-type H-Ras, which is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 2.
N-Ras is encoded by the N-RAS gene. The term “N-Ras” also refers to natural variants of the wild-type N-Ras protein, such as proteins having at least 85% identity (e.g., 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 99.9% identity, or more) to the amino acid sequence of wild-type N-Ras, which is set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3.
A given Ras protein may be bound to GDP or GTP. In response to exposure of the cell to certain growth promoting stimuli, RAS is induced to exchange its bound GDP for a GTP. With GTP bound, RAS is “switched on” and is able to interact with and activate other proteins (its “downstream targets”). Ras itself has a very low intrinsic ability to hydrolyze GTP back to GDP, thus turning itself into the off state. Switching R as off requires extrinsic proteins termed GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that interact with RAS and greatly accelerate the conversion of GTP to GDP. Any mutation in Ras which affects its ability to interact with GAP or to convert GTP back to GDP will result in a prolonged activation of the protein and consequently a prolonged signal to the cell telling it to continue to grow and divide. Because these signals result in cell growth and division, overactive RAS signaling may ultimately lead to cancer. Methods of determining the GDP or GTP binding state of a Ras protein are known in the art.
As used herein, the term “mutant Ras protein” means a Ras protein that comprises at least one mutation in which an amino acid in the corresponding wild-type Ras protein is mutated to a different amino acid, e.g., a glycine is mutated to an aspartic acid, serine, or cysteine. The term “mutation” as used herein indicates any modification of a nucleic acid or polypeptide which results in an altered nucleic acid or polypeptide. The term “mutation” may include, for example, point mutations, deletions or insertions of single or multiple residues in a polynucleotide, which includes alterations arising within a protein-encoding region of a gene as well as alterations in regions outside of a protein-encoding sequence, such as, but not limited to, regulatory or promoter sequence, as well as amplifications or chromosomal breaks or translocations.
Examples of mutant Ras proteins include, but are not limited to, K-Ras G12D, K-Ras G13D, and K-Ras G12S. In some embodiments, mutations contemplated by the present invention include those associated with oncogenic activity. In some embodiments, mutations contemplated by the present invention include:
Provided herein are compounds which are capable of binding to a Ras protein to form a conjugate by reacting as electrophiles and forming a covalent bond with a nucleophilic Ras amino acid of a Ras protein. In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention may be useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders in which Ras, particularly mutated Ras, play a role, such as cancer. Compounds described or depicted herein, whether expressly stated or not, may be provided or utilized in salt form, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, unless expressly stated to the contrary.
Covalent binding of a compound of the present invention to Ras can be reversible or irreversible. Irreversible covalent binding to GDP-bound Ras or GTP-bound Ras can be determined by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by mass spectrometry. For example, to determine binding to GTP or GDP-Ras, a compound of the present invention may be incubated with Ras loaded with the appropriate nucleotide, then cross-linking is determined by mass spectrometry. An example protocol is provided in the Examples below.
Moreover, covalent binding of a compound of the present invention to Ras may perturb the conformation of Ras such that it modulates or disrupts binding of Ras to its effector proteins (including SOS and RAF). Ras-RAF disruption assays are known by those skilled in the art, as described for example by Lim et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53:199 (2014). By disrupting Ras binding to its effector proteins, compounds may disrupt downstream signaling, resulting in growth inhibition or the induction of apoptosis. These effects can be measured in cell culture following compound treatment by monitoring the activation state of downstream effectors (such as the phosphorylation state of ERK), performing a cellular viability assay, and by measuring the activity of caspase-3 in a cell lysate.
Some compounds disclosed herein may form reversible covalent bonds with Ras, including boronic acids and trifluoromethyl ketones. Boronic acids are known to interact with seine and threonine residues, as described for example by Adams et al., Cancer Invest. 22:304 (2004). By extension, aspartate residues could also form reversible covalent bonds with boronic acids or other electrophiles such as trifluoromethyl ketones.
Accordingly, the present disclosure features compounds of Formula I:

In some embodiments, one or more atoms of a Ras binding moiety do not bind to the Ras protein.
A Ras protein can bind to a single atom in a Ras binding moiety. Alternatively, or additionally, a Ras protein can bind to two or more atoms in a Ras binding moiety. In another alternative, a Ras protein binds to a group that mimics a natural ligand of a Ras protein and wherein the group that mimics a natural ligand of a Ras protein is attached to a Ras binding moiety. Binding in these examples is typically through, but not limited to, non-covalent interactions of a Ras protein to a Ras binding moiety.
In some embodiments, the Ras binding moiety binds to the GDP-bound form of the Ras protein. In some embodiments, the Ras binding moiety binds to the GTP-bound form of the Ras protein. In some embodiments, the Ras binding moiety binds to the GDP-bound form and the GTP-bound form of the Ras protein.

In view of the disclosures herein as well as general knowledge, persons of skill in the art will understand how a cross-linking group of a compound of these references may be replaced with a selective cross-linking group of the present invention.
Compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the present invention include a linker between a Ras binding moiety (e.g., A, in Formula I) and a selective cross-linking group (e.g., B, in Formula I). As used herein, a “linker” refers to a divalent organic moiety connecting moiety A to moiety B in a compound of Formula I, such that the resulting compound is capable of achieving an IC50 of 2 μM or less in the Ras-RAF disruption assay protocol provided in Lim et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53:199 (2014). In some embodiments, the linker positions a reactive atom of B about 5 to about 11 angstroms from the nearest atom of A. In some embodiments, the linker positions a reactive atom of B 4 to 9 atoms from the nearest atom of A. In some embodiments, the linker comprises 20 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker comprises 15 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker comprises 10 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 500 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 400 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 300 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 200 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 100 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 50 g/mol.

This is in contrast to those atoms that either do not react or require strong catalysts or impractical reaction conditions in order to react (i.e., a “nonreactive” or “inert” group).
As used herein, “functional group” refers to an organic moiety within a Ras protein having the potential to make a covalent bond with a selective cross-linking group, as described herein. A functional group may be nucleophilic or electrophilic, as those terms are known in the art. Non-limiting examples of nucleophilic functional groups include carboxyl groups, hydroxy groups, and thiol groups. Non-limiting examples of Ras amino acids having a nucleophilic functional group include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, and lysine.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to an active compound, formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In some embodiments, a compound is present in unit dose amount appropriate for administration in a therapeutic regimen that shows a statistically significant probability of achieving a predetermined therapeutic effect when administered to a relevant population. In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions may be specially formulated for administration in solid or liquid form, including those adapted for the following: oral administration, for example, drenches (aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions), tablets, e.g., those targeted for buccal, sublingual, and systemic absorption, boluses, powders, granules, pastes for application to the tongue; parenteral administration, for example, by subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or epidural injection as, for example, a sterile solution or suspension, or sustained-release formulation; topical application, for example, as a cream, ointment, or a controlled-release patch or spray applied to the skin, lungs, or oral cavity; intravaginally or intrarectally, for example, as a pessary, cream, or foam; sublingually; ocularly; transdermally; or nasally, pulmonary, and to other mucosal surfaces.
A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,” as used herein, refers any inactive ingredient (for example, a vehicle capable of suspending or dissolving the active compound) having the properties of being nontoxic and non-inflammatory in a subject. Typical excipients include, for example: antiadherents, antioxidants, binders, coatings, compression aids, disintegrants, dyes (colors), emollients, emulsifiers, fillers (diluents), film formers or coatings, flavors, fragrances, glidants (flow enhancers), lubricants, preservatives, printing inks, sorbents, suspending or dispersing agents, sweeteners, or waters of hydration.

Those of ordinary skill in the art are familiar with a variety of agents and materials useful as excipients.
Compounds described or depicted herein, whether expressly stated or not, may be provided or utilized in salt form, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, unless expressly stated to the contrary. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as use herein, refers to those salts of the compounds described here that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in: Berge et al., J. Pharmaceutical Sciences 66:1-19, 1977 and in Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, (Eds. P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds described herein or separately by reacting the free base group with a suitable organic acid.
The compounds of the invention may have ionizable groups so as to be capable of preparation as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These salts may be acid addition salts involving inorganic or organic acids or the salts may, in the case of acidic forms of the compounds of the invention be prepared from inorganic or organic bases. Frequently, the compounds are prepared or used as pharmaceutically acceptable salts prepared as addition products of pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases are well-known in the art, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, acetic, lactic, citric, or tartaric acids for forming acid addition salts, and potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, caffeine, various amines, and the like for forming basic salts. Methods for preparation of the appropriate salts are well-established in the art.
Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptonate, hexanoate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, 2-optionally substituted hydroxyl-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts and the like. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and the like, as well as nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, including, but not limited to ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine and the like.
As used herein, the term “subject” refers to any member of the animal kingdom. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to humans, at any stage of development. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to a human patient. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to non-human animals, at any stage of development. In some embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., a rodent, a mouse, a rat, a rabbit, a monkey, a dog, a cat, a sheep, cattle, a primate, or a pig). In some embodiments, subjects include, but are not limited to, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, or worms. In some embodiments, a subject may be a transgenic animal, genetically-engineered animal, or a clone.
As used herein, the term “dosage form” refers to a physically discrete unit of an active compound (e.g., a therapeutic or diagnostic agent) for administration to a subject. Each unit contains a predetermined quantity of active agent. In some embodiments, such quantity is a unit dosage amount (or a whole fraction thereof) appropriate for administration in accordance with a dosing regimen that has been determined to correlate with a desired or beneficial outcome when administered to a relevant population (i.e., with a therapeutic dosing regimen). Those of ordinary skill in the art appreciate that the total amount of a therapeutic composition or compound administered to a particular subject is determined by one or more attending physicians and may involve administration of multiple dosage forms.
As used herein, the term “dosing regimen” refers to a set of unit doses (typically more than one) that are administered individually to a subject, typically separated by periods of time. In some embodiments, a given therapeutic compound has a recommended dosing regimen, which may involve one or more doses. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses each of which are separated from one another by a time period of the same length; in some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses and at least two different time periods separating individual doses. In some embodiments, all doses within a dosing regimen are of the same unit dose amount. In some embodiments, different doses within a dosing regimen are of different amounts. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a first dose in a first dose amount, followed by one or more additional doses in a second dose amount different from the first dose amount. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a first dose in a first dose amount, followed by one or more additional doses in a second dose amount same as the first dose amount. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen is correlated with a desired or beneficial outcome when administered across a relevant population (i.e., is a therapeutic dosing regimen).
A “therapeutic regimen” refers to a dosing regimen whose administration across a relevant population is correlated with a desired or beneficial therapeutic outcome.
The term “treatment” (also “treat” or “treating”), in its broadest sense, refers to any administration of a substance (e.g., provided compositions) that partially or completely alleviates, ameliorates, relives, inhibits, delays onset of, reduces severity of, or reduces incidence of one or more symptoms, features, or causes of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, such treatment may be administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of the relevant disease, disorder or condition or of a subject who exhibits only early signs of the disease, disorder, or condition. Alternatively, or additionally, in some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject who exhibits one or more established signs of the relevant disease, disorder or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject who has been diagnosed as suffering from the relevant disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject known to have one or more susceptibility factors that are statistically correlated with increased risk of development of the relevant disease, disorder, or condition.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a population suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder, or condition in accordance with a therapeutic dosing regimen, to treat the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is one that reduces the incidence or severity of, or delays onset of, one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the term “therapeutically effective amount” does not in fact require successful treatment be achieved in a particular individual. Rather, a therapeutically effective amount may be that amount that provides a particular desired pharmacological response in a significant number of subjects when administered to patients in need of such treatment. It is specifically understood that particular subjects may, in fact, be “refractory” to a “therapeutically effective amount.” To give but one example, a refractory subject may have a low bioavailability such that clinical efficacy is not obtainable. In some embodiments, reference to a therapeutically effective amount may be a reference to an amount as measured in one or more specific tissues (e.g., a tissue affected by the disease, disorder or condition) or fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, serum, sweat, tears, urine). Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that, in some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated or administered in a single dose. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated or administered in a plurality of doses, for example, as part of a dosing regimen.
For use as treatment of subjects, the compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be formulated as pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions. Depending on the subject to be treated, the mode of administration, and the type of treatment desired, e.g., prevention, prophylaxis, or therapy, the compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are formulated in ways consonant with these parameters. A summary of such techniques may be found in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, (2005); and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, described herein may be present in amounts totaling 1-95% by weight of the total weight of a composition, such as a pharmaceutical composition. The composition may be provided in a dosage form that is suitable for intraarticular, oral, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular), rectal, cutaneous, subcutaneous, topical, transdermal, sublingual, nasal, vaginal, intravesicular, intraurethral, intrathecal, epidural, aural, or ocular administration, or by injection, inhalation, or direct contact with the nasal, genitourinary, reproductive or oral mucosa. Thus, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, e.g., tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granulates, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, gels including hydrogels, pastes, ointments, creams, plasters, drenches, osmotic delivery devices, suppositories, enemas, injectables, implants, sprays, preparations suitable for iontophoretic delivery, or aerosols.

Compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be prepared and used as pharmaceutical compositions comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient, as is well known in the art. In some embodiments, a composition includes at least two different pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.
As used herein, the term “administration” refers to the administration of a composition (e.g., a compound, or a preparation that includes a compound as described herein) to a subject or system. Administration to an animal subject (e.g., to a human) may be by any appropriate route. For example, in some embodiments, administration may be bronchial (including by bronchial instillation), buccal, enteral, interdermal, intra-arterial, intradermal, intragastric, intramedullary, intramuscular, intranasal, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intravenous, intraventricular, mucosal, nasal, oral, rectal, subcutaneous, sublingual, topical, tracheal (including by intratracheal instillation), transdermal, vaginal and vitreal.
Formulations may be prepared in a manner suitable for systemic administration or topical or local administration. Systemic formulations include those designed for injection (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous injection) or may be prepared for transdermal, transmucosal, or oral administration. A formulation will generally include a diluent as well as, in some cases, adjuvants, buffers, preservatives and the like. Compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be administered also in liposomal compositions or as microemulsions.
For injection, formulations can be prepared in conventional forms as liquid solutions or suspensions or as solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection or as emulsions. Suitable excipients include, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol and the like. Such compositions may also contain amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, such as, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, and so forth.
Various sustained release systems for drugs have also been devised. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,677, which is herein incorporated by reference.
Systemic administration may also include relatively noninvasive methods such as the use of suppositories, transdermal patches, transmucosal delivery and intranasal administration. Oral administration is also suitable for compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Suitable forms include syrups, capsules, and tablets, as is understood in the art.
Each compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of a combination therapy, as described herein, may be formulated in a variety of ways that are known in the art. For example, the first and second agents of the combination therapy may be formulated together or separately.
The individually or separately formulated agents can be packaged together as a kit. Non-limiting examples include, but are not limited to, kits that contain, e.g., two pills, a pill and a powder, a suppository and a liquid in a vial, two topical creams, etc. The kit can include optional components that aid in the administration of the unit dose to subjects, such as vials for reconstituting powder forms, syringes for injection, customized IV delivery systems, inhalers, etc. Additionally, the unit dose kit can contain instructions for preparation and administration of the compositions. The kit may be manufactured as a single use unit dose for one subject, multiple uses for a particular subject (at a constant dose or in which the individual compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may vary in potency as therapy progresses); or the kit may contain multiple doses suitable for administration to multiple subjects (“bulk packaging”). The kit components may be assembled in cartons, blister packs, bottles, tubes, and the like.
Formulations for oral use include tablets containing the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugar, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binding agents (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, methylcellulose, optionally substituted hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricating agents, glidants, and antiadhesives (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silicas, hydrogenated vegetable oils, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.
Two or more compounds may be mixed together in a tablet, capsule, or other vehicle, or may be partitioned. In one example, the first compound is contained on the inside of the tablet, and the second compound is on the outside, such that a substantial portion of the second compound is released prior to the release of the first compound.
Formulations for oral use may also be provided as chewable tablets, or as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granulates, and pellets may be prepared using the ingredients mentioned above under tablets and capsules in a conventional manner using, e.g., a mixer, a fluid bed apparatus or a spray drying equipment.
Dissolution or diffusion-controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coating of a tablet, capsule, pellet, or granulate formulation of compounds, or by incorporating the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, into an appropriate matrix. A controlled release coating may include one or more of the coating substances mentioned above or, e.g., shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethylcellulose, acrylic resins, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methylmethacrylate, 2-optionally substituted hydroxylmethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogels, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, or polyethylene glycols. In a controlled release matrix formulation, the matrix material may also include, e.g., hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or halogenated fluorocarbon.
The liquid forms in which the compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
Generally, when administered to a human, the oral dosage of any of the compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the combination of the invention will depend on the nature of the compound, and can readily be determined by one skilled in the art. Typically, such dosage is normally about 0.001 mg to 2000 mg per day, desirably about 1 mg to 1000 mg per day, and more desirably about 5 mg to 500 mg per day. Dosages up to 200 mg per day may be necessary.
In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may further comprise an additional compound having antiproliferative activity. Depending on the mode of administration, compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be formulated into suitable compositions to permit facile delivery. Each compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of a combination therapy may be formulated in a variety of ways that are known in the art. For example, the first and second agents of the combination therapy may be formulated together or separately. Desirably, the first and second agents are formulated together for the simultaneous or near simultaneous administration of the agents.
It will be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be formulated and employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated with or administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures. The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder, or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).
Administration of each drug in a combination therapy, as described herein, can, independently, be one to four times daily for one day to one year, and may even be for the life of the subject. Chronic, long-term administration may be indicated.

In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is a SHP2 inhibitor. SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene that contributes to multiple cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle maintenance and migration. SHP2 has two N-terminal Src homology 2 domains (N-SH2 and C-SH2), a catalytic domain (PTP), and a C-terminal tail. The two SH2 domains control the subcellular localization and functional regulation of SHP2. The molecule exists in an inactive, self-inhibited conformation stabilized by a binding network involving residues from both the N-SH2 and PTP domains. Stimulation by, for example, cytokines or growth factors acting through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) leads to exposure of the catalytic site resulting in enzymatic activation of SHP2.
SHP2 is involved in signaling through the RAS-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), the JAK-STAT or the phophoinositol 3-kinase-AKT pathways. Mutations in the PTPN11 gene and subsequently in SHP2 have been identified in several human developmental diseases, such as Noonan Syndrome and Leopard Syndrome, as well as human cancers, such as juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, neuroblastoma, melanoma, acute myeloid leukemia and cancers of the breast, lung and colon. Some of these mutations destabilize the auto-inhibited conformation of SHP2 and promote autoactivation or enhanced growth factor driven activation of SHP2. SHP2, therefore, represents a highly attractive target for the development of novel therapies for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. A SHP2 inhibitor (e.g., RMC-4550 or SHP099) in combination with a RAS pathway inhibitor (e.g., a MEK inhibitor) have been shown to inhibit the proliferation of multiple cancer cell lines in vitro (e.g., pancreas, lung, ovarian and breast cancer). Thus, combination therapy involving a SHP2 inhibitor with a RAS pathway inhibitor could be a general strategy for preventing tumor resistance in a wide range of malignancies.

The following table of compounds were prepared using the aforementioned methods or variations thereof, as is known to those of skill in the art.
Note: while the following protocol outlines the procedure for K-Ras G12D(GDP), a person of skill in the art may substitute other Ras proteins, and may also substitute a non-hydrolyzable GTP analog for GDP to study GTP bound Ras protein.
GDP-loaded K-Ras (1-169) G12D, C51S, C80L, C118S and GDP-loaded K-Ras (1-169) C51S, C80L, C118S were adjusted to 50 μM in K-Ras assay buffer (12.5 mM HEPES, 75 mM NaCl and 1 mM MgCl2 at pH 7.4). A 5 μL aliquot of each protein solution was added to each well of a 96-well microplate containing 40 μL of assay buffer. Initial compound stocks were prepared in DMSO at 100 times their final assay concentration. Compounds were then diluted 10-fold into K-Ras assay buffer to 10 times their final concentration. A 5 μL aliquot of each diluted compound solution was added to each protein solution in the 96-well microplate to initiate the reaction, which then proceeded at room temperature. Typical final compound concentrations were 2, 10, and 25 μM. At each time point, the reactions were analyzed immediately or quenched with 5 μL of a 5% formic acid solution and kept at 4° C. until analysis. Typical assay endpoints were 1 and 24 h.
Data collection took place on an Agilent 6230 TOF Mass Spectrometer. Complete reactions were injected onto a C4 reverse-phase column to separate protein from buffer components prior to entering the mass spectrometer. The proteins were eluted from the column by increasing acetonitrile fraction in the mobile phase and fed directly into the mass analyzer. Initial analysis of raw data took place in Agilent MassHunter BioConfirm software and consisted of deconvolution of multiple protein charge states with the maximum entropy algorithm, with a mass step of 1 Da. The heights of all deconvoluted protein masses were exported for further data analysis. The percent modification of each protein was then determined by calculating the peak height of the covalently modified K-Ras species as a percentage of the sum total of K-Ras protein peak height.
Comparable procedures were run with other Ras proteins to produce the results seen in Tables 4 and 5.
The compounds in Table 2f can be prepared according to reaction scheme 1, using carboxylic acids such as intermediates 1-41 (and analogous intermediates) and an amine similar to compound 1. Some intermediates yield a product that may be deprotected. Deprotection methods are known in the art, some of which are described below.
Intermediates 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 23, and 24 can be reacted with an amine similar to compound 1 in reaction scheme 1 to provide products that contain a sulfinamide. Sulfinamide can be removed under acidic conditions (e.g., HI in THF at 0° C.).
Intermediates 7 and 8 can be reacted with an amine similar to compound 1 in reaction scheme 1 to provide products that contain a trityl group. A trityl group can be removed under acidic conditions (e.g., TFA).
Intermediates 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, and 28 can be reacted with an amine similar to compound 1 in reaction scheme 1 to provide products that contain a benzyl group. A benzyl group can be removed under hydrogenolysis conditions (e.g., H2 in the presence of a catalyst, e.g., Pd/C).
Intermediates 25 and 26 can be reacted with an amine similar to compound 1 in reaction scheme 1 to provide products that contain a para-methoxybenzyl group. A para-methoxybenzyl group can be removed under oxidative conditions.
