Patent Application
20230002406
The present disclosure relates generally to inhibitors of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), compositions thereof, and methods of using said compounds and compositions thereof. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to sulfoximine-based inhibitors of ENPP1 and methods of their use for treating disease mediated by ENPP1.
In certain human diseases, maintenance of the phosphorylated nucleotides can be dysregulated resulting in poor outcomes, severe complications, and even death. Ectonucleotide Pyrophosphatase/Phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1), also known as ARHR2, COLED, M6S1, NPP1, NPPS, PC-1, PCA1 and PDNP1, is an enzyme that hydrolyzes phosphorylated nucleotides, including adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and 2′,3′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate-guanidine monophosphate (cGAMP). In some cases, ENPP1 consumes substrates preventing their role in resolving disease. The concomitant increase in hydrolysis products can also have detrimental effects. Therefore, inhibitors of ENNP1's enzyme activity will have a beneficial effect in certain human diseases.
Cells detecting aberrant DNA in the cytosol generate cGAMP, which is an activator of the immune response via the STING pathway. ATP activates immune cells via purinergic receptor signaling. ENPP1 can be expressed as a mechanism to degrade cGAMP and ATP and evade the immune response. Such expression of ENPP1 has been identified in cancers with especially poor prognosis. Therefore, ENPP1 inhibition can be an effective treatment in cancers, especially in cases where ENPP1 expression is high or cytosolic DNA levels are elevated. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is also a product of both ATP and cGAMP hydrolysis. Adenosine is generated from AMP by enzymes such as CD73, and further suppresses the immune response and supports tumor survival by adenosine receptor pathways.
ENPP1 has also been implicated in bacterial or viral infections, insulin resistance and type II diabetes, chondrocalcinosis and osteoarthritis, calcium pyrophosphate deposition disorder (CPPD), hypophosphatasia, and soft-tissue calcification disorders such as cardiac calcification after heart injury. Therefore, ENPP1 inhibition can be used to treat any of these disorders.

“Alkyl” encompasses straight and branched carbon chains having the indicated number of carbon atoms, for example, from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or 1 to 8 carbon atoms, or 1 to 6 carbon atoms. For example, C1-6 alkyl encompasses both straight and branched chain alkyl of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms. When an alkyl residue having a specific number of carbons is named, all branched and straight chain versions having that number of carbons are intended to be encompassed; thus, for example, “propyl” includes n-propyl and isopropyl; and “butyl” includes n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl and t-butyl. Examples of alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, 2-pentyl, 3-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, hexyl, 2-hexyl, 3-hexyl, and 3-methylpentyl.
When a range of values is given (e.g., C1-6 alkyl), each value within the range as well as all intervening ranges are included. For example, “C1-6 alkyl” includes C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C1-6, C2-6, C3-6, C4-6, C5-6, C1-5, C2-5, C3-5, C4-5, C1-4, C2-4, C3-4, C1-3, C2-3, and C1-2 alkyl.
“Alkenyl” refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain alkyl group having the indicated number of carbon atoms (e.g., 2 to 8, or 2 to 6 carbon atoms) and at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The group may be in either the cis or trans configuration (Z or E configuration) about the double bond(s). Alkenyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethenyl, propenyl (e.g., prop-1-en-1-yl, prop-1-en-2-yl, prop-2-en-1-yl (allyl), prop-2-en-2-yl), and butenyl (e.g., but-1-en-1-yl, but-1-en-2-yl, 2-methyl-prop-1-en-1-yl, but-2-en-1-yl, but-2-en-1-yl, but-2-en-2-yl, buta-1,3-dien-1-yl, buta-1,3-dien-2-yl).
“Alkynyl” refers to an unsaturated branched or straight-chain alkyl group having the indicated number of carbon atoms (e.g., 2 to 8 or 2 to 6 carbon atoms) and at least one carbon-carbon triple bond. Alkynyl groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl, propynyl (e.g., prop-1-yn-1-yl, prop-2-yn-1-yl) and butynyl (e.g., but-1-yn-1-yl, but-1-yn-3-yl, but-3-yn-1-yl).
“Cycloalkyl” indicates a non-aromatic, fully saturated carbocyclic ring having the indicated number of carbon atoms, for example, 3 to 10, or 3 to 8, or 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms. Cycloalkyl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic). Examples of cycloalkyl groups include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl, as well as bridged and caged ring groups (e.g., norbornane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane). In addition, one ring of a polycyclic cycloalkyl group may be aromatic, provided the polycyclic cycloalkyl group is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon. For example, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon atom) is a cycloalkyl group, while 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-5-yl (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is not considered a cycloalkyl group. Examples of polycyclic cycloalkyl groups consisting of a cycloalkyl group fused to an aromatic ring are described below.
“Cycloalkenyl” indicates a non-aromatic carbocyclic ring, containing the indicated number of carbon atoms (e.g., 3 to 10, or 3 to 8, or 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms) and at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Cycloalkenyl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic). Examples of cycloalkenyl groups include cyclopropenyl, cyclobutenyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclopentadienyl, and cyclohexenyl, as well as bridged and caged ring groups (e.g., bicyclo[2.2.2]octene). In addition, one ring of a polycyclic cycloalkenyl group may be aromatic, provided the polycyclic alkenyl group is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon atom. For example, inden-1-yl (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon atom) is considered a cycloalkenyl group, while inden-4-yl (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is not considered a cycloalkenyl group. Examples of polycyclic cycloalkenyl groups consisting of a cycloalkenyl group fused to an aromatic ring are described below.
“Aryl” indicates an aromatic carbocyclic ring having the indicated number of carbon atoms, for example, 6 to 12 or 6 to 10 carbon atoms. Aryl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic). In some instances, both rings of a polycyclic aryl group are aromatic (e.g., naphthyl). In other instances, polycyclic aryl groups may include a non-aromatic ring fused to an aromatic ring, provided the polycyclic aryl group is bound to the parent structure via an atom in the aromatic ring. Thus, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-5-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is considered an aryl group, while 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon atom) is not considered an aryl group. Similarly, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-8-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is considered an aryl group, while 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-1-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic nitrogen atom) is not considered an aryl group. However, the term “aryl” does not encompass or overlap with “heteroaryl”, as defined herein, regardless of the point of attachment (e.g., both quinolin-5-yl and quinolin-2-yl are heteroaryl groups). In some instances, aryl is phenyl or naphthyl. In certain instances, aryl is phenyl. Additional examples of aryl groups comprising an aromatic carbon ring fused to a non-aromatic ring are described below.
“Heteroaryl” indicates an aromatic ring containing the indicated number of atoms (e.g., 5 to 12, or 5 to 10 membered heteroaryl) made up of one or more heteroatoms (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms) selected from N, O and S and with the remaining ring atoms being carbon. Heteroaryl groups do not contain adjacent S and O atoms. In some embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2. In some embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 1. Unless otherwise indicated, heteroaryl groups may be bound to the parent structure by a carbon or nitrogen atom, as valency permits. For example, “pyridyl” includes 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl and 4-pyridyl groups, and “pyrrolyl” includes 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl and 3-pyrrolyl groups.
In some instances, a heteroaryl group is monocyclic. Examples include pyrrole, pyrazole, imidazole, triazole (e.g., 1,2,3-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole, 1,2,4-triazole), tetrazole, furan, isoxazole, oxazole, oxadiazole (e.g., 1,2,3-oxadiazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole), thiophene, isothiazole, thiazole, thiadiazole (e.g., 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,2,4-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole), pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine, triazine (e.g., 1,2,4-triazine, 1,3,5-triazine) and tetrazine.

In other instances, polycyclic heteroaryl groups may include a non-aromatic ring (e.g., cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, heterocycloalkenyl) fused to a heteroaryl ring, provided the polycyclic heteroaryl group is bound to the parent structure via an atom in the aromatic ring. For example, a 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is considered a heteroaryl group, while 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[d]thiazol-5-yl (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon atom) is not considered a heteroaryl group. Examples of polycyclic heteroaryl groups consisting of a heteroaryl ring fused to a non-aromatic ring are described below.
“Heterocycloalkyl” indicates a non-aromatic, fully saturated ring having the indicated number of atoms (e.g., 3 to 10, or 3 to 7, membered heterocycloalkyl) made up of one or more heteroatoms (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms) selected from N, O and S and with the remaining ring atoms being carbon. Heterocycloalkyl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic). Examples of heterocycloalkyl groups include oxiranyl, aziridinyl, azetidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, imidazolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl and thiomorpholinyl. Examples include thiomorpholine S-oxide and thiomorpholine S,S-dioxide. In addition, one ring of a polycyclic heterocycloalkyl group may be aromatic (e.g., aryl or heteroaryl), provided the polycyclic heterocycloalkyl group is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon or nitrogen atom. For example, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-1-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic nitrogen atom) is considered a heterocycloalkyl group, while 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-8-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is not considered a heterocycloalkyl group. Examples of polycyclic heterocycloalkyl groups consisting of a heterocycloalkyl group fused to an aromatic ring are described below.
“Heterocycloalkenyl” indicates a non-aromatic ring having the indicated number of atoms (e.g., 3 to 10, or 3 to 7, membered heterocycloalkyl) made up of one or more heteroatoms (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4 heteroatoms) selected from N, O and S and with the remaining ring atoms being carbon, and at least one double bond derived by the removal of one molecule of hydrogen from adjacent carbon atoms, adjacent nitrogen atoms, or adjacent carbon and nitrogen atoms of the corresponding heterocycloalkyl. Heterocycloalkenyl groups may be monocyclic or polycyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic).

In addition, one ring of a polycyclic heterocycloalkenyl group may be aromatic (e.g., aryl or heteroaryl), provided the polycyclic heterocycloalkenyl group is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic carbon or nitrogen atom. For example, a 1,2-dihydroquinolin-1-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via a non-aromatic nitrogen atom) is considered a heterocycloalkenyl group, while 1,2-dihydroquinolin-8-yl group (wherein the moiety is bound to the parent structure via an aromatic carbon atom) is not considered a heterocycloalkenyl group.

As discussed herein, whether each ring is considered an aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl or heterocycloalkenyl group is determined by the atom through which the moiety is bound to the parent structure.
“Halogen” or “halo” refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo or iodo.
Unless otherwise indicated, compounds disclosed and/or described herein include all possible enantiomers, diastereomers, meso isomers and other stereoisomeric forms, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures thereof. Enantiomers, diastereomers, meso isomers and other stereoisomeric forms can be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. Unless specified otherwise, when the compounds disclosed and/or described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z isomers. When the compounds described herein contain moieties capable of tautomerization, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include all possible tautomers.
“Protecting group” has the meaning conventionally associated with it in organic synthesis, i.e., a group that selectively blocks one or more reactive sites in a multifunctional compound such that a chemical reaction can be carried out selectively on another unprotected reactive site, and such that the group can readily be removed after the selective reaction is complete. A variety of protecting groups are disclosed, for example, in T. H. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1999). For example, a “hydroxy protected form” contains at least one hydroxy group protected with a hydroxy protecting group. Likewise, amines and other reactive groups may similarly be protected.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt is selected from ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts.
If the compound described herein is obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the compound is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds (see, e.g., Berge et al., Pharmaceutical Salts, J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, January 1977, 66(1), 1-19). Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
A “solvate” is formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Suitable solvents include, for example, water and alcohols (e.g., ethanol). Solvates include hydrates having any ratio of compound to water, such as monohydrates, dihydrates and hemi-hydrates.
The term “substituted” means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more substituents including, but not limited to, substituents such as alkoxy, acyl, acyloxy, alkoxycarbonyl, carbonylalkoxy, acylamino, amino, aminoacyl, aminocarbonylamino, aminocarbonyloxy, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aryloxy, cyano, azido, halo, hydroxyl, nitro, carboxyl, thiol, thioalkyl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heterocycloalkyl, heterocycloalkenyl, aralkyl, aminosulfonyl, sulfonylamino, sulfonyl, oxo and the like. The term “unsubstituted” means that the specified group bears no substituents. Where the term “substituted” is used to describe a structural system, the substitution is meant to occur at any valency-allowed position on the system. When a group or moiety bears more than one substituent, it is understood that the substituents may be the same or different from one another. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears from one to five substituents. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears one substituent. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears two substituents. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears three substituents. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears four substituents. In some embodiments, a substituted group or moiety bears five substituents.
By “optional” or “optionally” is meant that the subsequently described event or circumstance may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted alkyl” encompasses both “alkyl” and “substituted alkyl” as defined herein. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, with respect to any group containing one or more substituents, that such groups are not intended to introduce any substitution or substitution patterns that are sterically impractical, synthetically non-feasible, and/or inherently unstable. It will also be understood that where a group or moiety is optionally substituted, the disclosure includes both embodiments in which the group or moiety is substituted and embodiments in which the group or moiety is unsubstituted.
The compounds disclosed and/or described herein can be enriched isotopic forms, e.g., enriched in the content of 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C and/or 14C. In one embodiment, the compound contains at least one deuterium atom. Such deuterated forms can be made, for example, by the procedure described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997. Such deuterated compounds may improve the efficacy and increase the duration of action of compounds disclosed and/or described herein. Deuterium substituted compounds can be synthesized using various methods, such as those described in: Dean, D., Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Radiolabeled Compounds for Drug Discovery and Development, Curr. Pharm. Des., 2000; 6(10); Kabalka, G. et al., The Synthesis of Radiolabeled Compounds via Organometallic Intermediates, Tetrahedron, 1989, 45(21), 6601-21; and Evans, E., Synthesis of radiolabeled compounds, J. Radioanal. Chem., 1981, 64(1-2), 9-32.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in pharmaceutical compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the pharmaceutical compositions.
The terms “patient,” “individual,” and “subject” refer to an animal, such as a mammal, bird, or fish. In some embodiments, the patient or subject is a mammal. Mammals include, for example, mice, rats, dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, horses, cows and humans. In some embodiments, the patient, individual, or subject is a human, for example a human that has been or will be the object of treatment, observation or experiment. The compounds, compositions and methods described herein can be useful in both human therapy and veterinary applications.
The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” refers to that amount of a compound disclosed and/or described herein that is sufficient to affect treatment, as defined herein, when administered to a patient in need of such treatment. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound may be an amount sufficient to treat a disease responsive to modulation (e.g., inhibition) of ENPP1. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon, for example, the subject and disease condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the particular compound, the dosing regimen to be followed, timing of administration, the manner of administration, all of which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The therapeutically effective amount may be ascertained experimentally, for example by assaying blood concentration of the chemical entity, or theoretically, by calculating bioavailability.
“Treatment” (and related terms, such as “treat”, “treated”, “treating”) includes one or more of: inhibiting a disease or disorder; slowing or arresting the development of clinical symptoms of a disease or disorder; and/or relieving a disease or disorder (i.e., causing relief from or regression of clinical symptoms). The term covers both complete and partial reduction of the condition or disorder, and complete or partial reduction of clinical symptoms of a disease or disorder. Thus, compounds described and/or disclosed herein may prevent an existing disease or disorder from worsening, assist in the management of the disease or disorder, or reduce or eliminate the disease or disorder.
It is understood that embodiments described herein as “comprising” include “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of” embodiments.

Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g. a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.
Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.
General methods of preparing compounds described herein are depicted in exemplified methods below. Variable groups in the schemes provided herein are defined as for Formula (I), (I-1), (I-2), (I-3), (I-4), (I-5), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ia-3), (Ia-4), (Ia-5), (Ia-6), (Ib), (Ic), (Id), (Ie), (Ie-1), (Ie-2), (If), or (Ig) or any variation thereof. Other compounds described herein may be prepared by similar methods.
In some embodiments, compounds provided herein may be synthesized according to Scheme 1, Scheme 2, Scheme 3, and/or Scheme 4.
Scheme 1 outlines an exemplary route to the synthesis of compounds of general formula IV wherein the group W1 has structure a, b, c or d. Compounds of general formula III are prepared from heteroaryl chlorides of general formula I and alcohols or phenols of general formula II via an Ullman-type coupling or SNAr reaction with heat, as either a neat mixture or in a suitable solvent such as isopropanol (reaction step a). Compounds of general formula III are then oxidized with, for example, PhI(OAc)2, in the presence of an ammonia source, such as ammonium acetate, to provide compounds of general formula IV (reaction step b).
Scheme 2 summarizes an exemplary route toward compounds of general formula VIII where A is an aryl or heteroaryl ring or bicycle. Brominated heteroaryls of general formula V are cross-coupled with boronic acids or boronic esters of general formula VI, wherein the group W2 is a, b or c, by heating in the presence of a palladium catalyst, such as Pd(PPh3)4 or Pd(dppf)Cl2, and a base, such as Na2PO4, Na2CO3 or CsCO3, under with heating, for example between 80 and 120° C. (reaction step c), to yield compounds of general formula VII Sulfoximines of general formula VIII may be prepared from compounds of general formula VII via conditions described in Scheme 1 for the preparation of general formula III (reaction step b).
Compounds of the general formula XI may be prepared as outlined in Scheme 3. Heteroaryl chlorides of general formula I are reacted with amines of general formula IX under SNAr conditions that include heating, for example between 80 C and 100° C. with an appropriate base, such as K2CO3, Et3N or iPr2NEt, in a polar solvent such as DMF (reaction step d) to give compounds of general formula X. Sulfoximines of general formula XI may be prepared from the compounds of general formula X via conditions described in Scheme 1 for the preparation of III (reaction step b). A variety of amines may be employed in this route. For example, amines of general formula IX wherein W3 is e-n will provide their respective sulfoximines XIV.
Amides of general formula XIV may be prepared from carboxylic acids of general formula XII with amines of general formula IX (wherein W3 is e-o) via intermediate general formula XIII. Various standard condensation reactions may be used (reaction step e). For example, carbodiimide reagents such as DCC or EDC may be employed with an acyl transfer reagent such as HOBt, HOAt, or DMAP. Uronium salts such as HATU or TBTU may also be used with addition of a base, such as iPr2NEt. Sulfoximines general formula XIV may be prepared from the intermediate compounds of general formula XIII via conditions described in Scheme 1 for the preparation of III (reaction step b).

ENPP1 is normally expressed on the human metastatic breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Hydrolysis of the p-nitrophenyl ester of AMP (pNP-AMP), an isostere of ATP, is selectively catalyzed by ENPP1 in the supernatant of MDA-MB-231 cell cultures. Inhibition of the hydrolysis of pNP-AMP by MDA-MB-231 at pH 7.4 and 37° C., is a good model of physiologically relevant activity of membrane-bound ENPP1 at disease-relevant expression levels.
MDA-MB-231 cells were harvested using TypLE Express Enzyme digestion and suspended in 100 μL of Leibovitz's L-15 Medium, 20% FBS, seeding the cells in a 96-well assay plate with 4.5×104 cells/well. Cells were incubated at 37° C. with 1% CO2 for 24 h. In a separate dilution plate, 2× of top dose of compound was prepared in phenol-red free 1640 medium without FBS and then 1:3 serial diluted in the same medium. The cell culture medium of L15 medium was aspirated carefully and cells were washed with PBS once, and 50 μL per well of test compound or DMSO blank were added to the assay plate. Substrate mix (50 μL; 0.5 mM pNP-AMP in phenol-red free 1640 media without FBS) was added for a pNP-AMP final concentration of 0.25 mM. The system was incubated at 37° C. for 3 h. Release of para-nitrophenol was measured by absorbance at 405 nM on an Envision plate reader, and % Inhibition was calculated for each well as: (([max −min]−[test −min])/[max −min].

EMT6 cells (ATCC, CRL-2755™) are maintained in vitro as a monolayer culture in Waymouth's medium supplemented with 15% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. The tumor cells are routinely subcultured twice weekly by trypsin-EDTA treatment. The cells growing to a confluency around 70%-80% are harvested and counted for tumor inoculation. Each mouse is inoculated subcutaneously at the right flank with 2×105 EMT6 cells suspended in 0.1 mL base medium for tumor development, with n=10 mice inoculated per treatment group. Once primary tumor size reaches an average of 50 mm3, animals are randomized using block randomization by Excel based on tumor size. Animals are then dosed once daily by oral gavage (10 mL/kg) with vehicle control (0.5% methylcellulose and 1% Tween-80 in water) or test compound as suspension in vehicle. Mice are dosed continuously, for example once daily or twice daily, until individual tumors reached the experimental endpoint of 1,500 mm3 in size, after which animals are euthanized and tumors harvested for downstream analysis.
