The phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4Ks), consisting of the three isoforms, PI5P4Kα, β, and γ, are lipid kinases that catalyze phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PI5P) on its 4-position to form phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PI-4,5-P2) (Rameh et al., Nature 390(6656):192-196 (1997). In the cellular membrane, PI-4,5-P2 is also produced by another signaling pathway in which phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) is phosphorylated by phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinases (PI4P5Ks).
Although the majority of PI-4,5-P2 is produced via the PI4P5K pathway, PI5P4Ks have been recognized as key regulators of many cell functions including metabolism, stress response, autophagy, and immunological processes (Hu et al., J. Lipid Res. 59:507-514 (2018); Lamia et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 24(11):5080-5087 (2004); Shim et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 113(27):7596-7601 (2016); Al-Ramahi et al., eLife 6:e29123 (2017); Lundquist et al., Mol. Cell 70(3):531-543 (2018); Bulley et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 113(38):10571-10576 (2016), Keune et al., Adv. Biol. Regul. 53(2):179-189 (2013)). PIP4Ks have distinct catalytic and non-catalytic functions in controlling cellular metabolism and suppress PIP5K activity and insulin-stimulated production of PI(3,4,5)P3 (Wang et al., Cell Rep. 27:1991-2001 (2019)).
Dysregulation of the PI5P4K signaling pathway has been further linked to diseases such as diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancers (Lamia et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 24(11): 5080-5087 (2004); Al-Ramahi et al., eLife 6:e29123 (2017); Jude et al., Oncogene 34(10):1253-1262 (2015); Luoh el al., Oncogene 23:1354-1363 (2004); Emerling el al., Cell 155(4):844-857 (2013). Analysis of PI(4,5)P2 levels in cells with single or double knockdown of PIP4K isoforms revealed an additive effect among all three isoforms that does not correlate with their relative catalytic activities. Double knockdown of the most active isoforms, PIP4KA/B, failed to phenocopy the triple knockdown, suggesting that catalytic activity is not the most important factor in regulating PI(4,5)P2 levels (Wang el al., Cell Rep. 27:1991-2001 (2019).
These findings indicate that the inhibition of PI5P4K kinase activity might have therapeutic potential across various diseases.
A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a compound having a structure represented by formula (I):
wherein R1′, R2′, R3′, X1′, W1′, W2′, W3′, W4′, A1′ and A2′ are as defined herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
A second aspect of the present invention is directed to a bifunctional compound, comprising a targeting ligand that binds at least one of phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 alpha (PIP4K2A), PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C and a degron covalently attached to the targeting ligand by a linker, wherein the bifunctional compound has a structure represented by formula (II):
wherein R1, R2, R3, X1, W1, W2, W3, W4, A1 and A2 are as defined herein; and
the degron is a moiety that binds an E3 ubiquitin ligase, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
In another aspect of the present invention, methods of making the compounds are provided.
A further aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of treating a disease or disorder by modulating (e.g., reducing) the level or activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C, that includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, to a subject in need thereof.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of treating a disease or disorder by modulating (e.g., reducing) the level or activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C, that includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a bifunctional compound of formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, to a subject in need thereof.
In some aspects, the present invention is directed to methods of enhancing immune functions in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
In some aspects, the present invention is directed to methods of stimulating/activating the immune system by reducing scaffolding or interaction of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C with at least one other of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C or phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
As shown in working examples, compounds embraced by formula (I) inhibit the activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C.
As shown in working examples, bifunctional compounds embraced by formula (II) (also referred to herein as degraders) promote the degradation of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C.
Without intending to be bound by any particular theory of operation, the bifunctional compounds of formula (II) are believed to cause degradation of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C by recruitment of cells' Ubiquitin/Proteasome System, whose function is to routinely identify and remove damaged proteins, into close proximity with PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, or PIP4K2C as a result of binding between PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, or PIP4K2C, and the targeting ligand. After destruction of a PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, or PIP4K2C protein, the degrader is released and continues to be active. Thus, by engaging and exploiting the body's own natural protein disposal system, the compounds of the present invention may represent a potential improvement over current small molecule inhibitors of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C and may overcome one or more limitations regarding their use. Therefore, effective intracellular concentrations of the degraders may be significantly lower than for small molecule PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, or PIP4K2C inhibitors. Also, although PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C genetic knockdown or knockout can be used to reduce the cellular concentration or amount of these proteins, it may be preferable to post-translationally disrupt, degrade, or destabilize PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C proteins. Targeting proteins directly, rather than via the DNA or mRNA molecules that encode them, is a more direct and rapid method for reducing the scaffolding function of PIP4K proteins. Hence, degradation can allow some PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C catalytic function to proceed while reducing the non-catalytic functions such as scaffolding between PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C proteins and other cellular proteins and structures. Collectively, the present compounds may represent a set of new chemical tools for at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C knockdown and may provide a potential treatment modality for PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C-associated cancers and autophagy-dependent diseases (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders, insulin). The compounds may be used to enhance immune functions as described in WO2020210686 and Wang et al., Cell Rep. 27:1991-2001 (2019), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

In some embodiments, bifunctional compounds of the present invention are represented by any one of the following structures:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
Compounds of the present invention (i.e., compounds of formula I or I′ and bifunctional compounds of formula II or II′) may be in the form of a free acid or free base, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” in the context of a salt refers to a salt of the compound that does not abrogate the biological activity or properties of the compound, and is relatively non-toxic, i.e., the compound in salt form may be administered to a subject without causing undesirable biological effects (such as dizziness or gastric upset) or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the composition in which it is contained. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a product obtained by reaction of the compound of the present invention with a suitable acid or a base. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic bases such as Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Al, Zn and Mn salts. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, isonicotinate, acetate, lactate, salicylate, citrate, tartrate, pantothenate, bitartrate, ascorbate, succinate, maleate, gentisinate, fumarate, gluconate, glucaronate, saccharate, formate, benzoate, glutamate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, 4-methylbenzenesulfonate or p-toluenesulfonate salts and the like. Certain compounds of the invention can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with various organic bases such as lysine, arginine, guanidine, diethanolamine or metformin.
Compounds of the invention may have at least one chiral center and therefore may be in the form of a stereoisomer, which as used herein, embraces all isomers of individual compounds that differ only in the orientation of their atoms in space. The term stereoisomer includes mirror image isomers (enantiomers which include the (R-) or (S-) configurations of the compounds), mixtures of mirror image isomers (physical mixtures of the enantiomers, and racemates or racemic mixtures) of compounds, geometric (cis/trans or E/Z, R/S) isomers of compounds and isomers of compounds with more than one chiral center that are not mirror images of one another (diastereoisomers). The chiral centers of the compounds may undergo epimerization in vivo; therefore, for these compounds, administration of the compound in its (R-) form is considered equivalent to administration of the compound in its (S-) form. Accordingly, the compounds of the present invention may be made and used in the form of individual isomers and substantially free of other isomers, or in the form of a mixture of various isomers, e.g., racemic mixtures of stereoisomers.
The compounds of the invention embrace isotopic derivatives that have at least one desired isotopic substitution of an atom, at an amount above the natural abundance of the isotope, i.e., enriched. In one embodiment, the compound includes deuterium or multiple deuterium atoms.
Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and therefore may be advantageous in some circumstances.
In addition to isotopic derivatives, the terms “compounds of formula (I or I′)” and “bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′)” embrace N-oxides, crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs), active metabolites of the compounds having the same type of activity, tautomers, and unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like, of the compounds.
In another aspect, the present invention is directed to methods for making compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers. Broadly, the inventive compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomers thereof may be prepared by any process known to be applicable to the preparation of chemically related compounds. The compounds of the present invention will be better understood in connection with the synthetic schemes and procedures that described in various working examples and which illustrate non-limiting methods by which the compounds of the invention may be prepared.
The bifunctional compounds of Formula II or II′ can be prepared by methods known by those skilled in the art. In one non-limiting example the disclosed bifunctional compounds can be made by the following schemes.
In some embodiments, the methods described above are carried out in solvent. In some embodiments, the aprotic solvent is DCM, DMSO, DMF, CHCl3, CCl4, DCE, toluene, MeCN, THF, MeOH, or EtOH. In some embodiments, the methods described above are carried out on a solid phase.
In some embodiments, the reaction includes the use of a base. In some embodiments, the base is used in excess at about 10 equivalents. In some embodiments, the base is used in excess at about 5 equivalents. In some embodiments, the base is used in excess at about 3 equivalents.
In some embodiments, the reaction includes the use of an acid. In some embodiments, the acid is used in excess at about 10 equivalents. In some embodiments, the acid is used in excess at about 5 equivalents. In some embodiments, the acid is used in excess at about 3 equivalents.
In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out at a temperature from about −78° C. to 100° C. In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out at a temperature from about 0° C.-60° C. In some embodiments, the reaction is carried out at a temperature is about 20° C.-25° C.
In some embodiments, the reaction involves a coupling reagent. In some embodiments, the coupling reagent is HATU (1-[Bis(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium-3-oxide hexafluorophosphate), PyAOP ((7-Azabenzotriazol-1-yloxy)tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate), BOP (benzotriazol-1-yloxytris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate), HBTU (2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate), or PyBOP (benzotriazol-1-yloxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate).
Synthetic schemes for synthesizing bifunctional compounds are known in the art. See, e.g., Powell et al., J. Med. Chem., 61(9):4249-4255 (2018) and Lai et al., Anew. Chem. Int. Ed., 55:807-810 (2016), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition that includes a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” as known in the art, refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, suitable for administering compounds of the present invention to mammals. Suitable carriers may include, for example, liquids (both aqueous and non-aqueous alike, and combinations thereof), solids, encapsulating materials, gases, and combinations thereof (e.g., semi-solids), and gases, that function to carry or transport the compound from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. A carrier is “acceptable” in the sense of being physiologically inert to and compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the subject or patient. Depending on the type of formulation, the composition may also include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
Broadly, compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (I1 or II′) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers may be formulated into a given type of composition in accordance with conventional pharmaceutical practice such as conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping and compression processes (see, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (20th ed.), ed. A. R. Gennaro, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000 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 in its entirety. The type of formulation depends on the mode of administration which may include enteral (e.g., oral, buccal, sublingual and rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous (s.c.), intravenous (i.v.), intramuscular (i.m.), and intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques, intra-ocular, intra-arterial, intramedullary, intrathecal, intraventricular, transdermal, interdermal, intravaginal, intraperitoneal, mucosal, nasal, intratracheal instillation, bronchial instillation, and inhalation) and topical (e.g., transdermal).
In general, the most appropriate route of administration will depend upon a variety of factors including, for example, the nature of the agent (e.g., its stability in the environment of the gastrointestinal tract), and/or the condition of the subject (e.g., whether the subject is able to tolerate oral administration). For example, parenteral (e.g., intravenous) administration may also be advantageous in that the inventive compound may be administered relatively quickly such as in the case of a single-dose treatment and/or an acute condition.
In some embodiments, the inventive compounds are formulated for oral or intravenous administration (e.g., systemic intravenous injection).
Accordingly, compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′) may be formulated into solid compositions (e.g., powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories), liquid compositions (e.g., solutions in which the compound is dissolved, suspensions in which solid particles of the compound are dispersed, emulsions, and solutions containing liposomes, micelles, or nanoparticles, syrups and elixirs); semi-solid compositions (e.g., gels, suspensions and creams); and gases (e.g., propellants for aerosol compositions).

The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use. The effect of the compound may be prolonged by slowing its absorption, which may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension or crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. Prolonged absorption of the compound from a parenterally administered formulation may also be accomplished by suspending the compound in an oily vehicle.
In certain embodiments, compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′) may be administered in a local rather than systemic manner, for example, via injection of the conjugate directly into an organ, often in a depot preparation or sustained release formulation. In specific embodiments, long acting formulations are administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in a biodegradable polymer, e.g., polylactide-polyglycolides, poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). The rate of release of the compound may be controlled by varying the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the compound is delivered in a targeted drug delivery system, for example, in a liposome coated with organ-specific antibody. In such embodiments, the liposomes are targeted to and taken up selectively by the organ.
The compositions may be formulated for buccal or sublingual administration, examples of which include tablets, lozenges and gels.
The compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′) may be formulated for administration by inhalation. Various forms suitable for administration by inhalation include aerosols, mists or powders. Pharmaceutical compositions may be delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant (e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas). In some embodiments, the dosage unit of a pressurized aerosol may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount.
In some embodiments, capsules and cartridges including gelatin, for example, for use in an inhaler or insufflator, may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.
Compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′) may be formulated for topical administration which as used herein, refers to administration intradermally by invention of the formulation to the epidermis. These types of compositions are typically in the form of ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions and sprays.
Representative examples of carriers useful in formulating inventive compounds for topical application include solvents (e.g., alcohols, poly alcohols, water), creams, lotions, ointments, oils, plasters, liposomes, powders, emulsions, microemulsions, and buffered solutions (e.g., hypotonic or buffered saline). Creams, for example, may be formulated using saturated or unsaturated fatty acids such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, palmito-oleic acid, cetyl, or oleyl alcohols. Creams may also contain a non-ionic surfactant such as polyoxy-40-stearate.
In some embodiments, the topical formulations may also include an excipient, an example of which is a penetration enhancing agent. These agents are capable of transporting a pharmacologically active compound through the stratum corneum and into the epidermis or dermis, preferably, with little or no systemic absorption. A wide variety of compounds have been evaluated as to their effectiveness in enhancing the rate of penetration of drugs through the skin. See, for example, Percutaneous Penetration Enhancers, Maibach H. I. and Smith H. E. (eds.), CRC Press, Inc., Boca Raton, Fla. (1995), which surveys the use and testing of various skin penetration enhancers, and Buyuktimkin et al., Chemical Means of Transdermal Drug Permeation Enhancement in Transdermal and Topical Drug Delivery Systems, Gosh T. K., Pfister W. R., Yum S. I. (Eds.), Interpharm Press Inc., Buffalo Grove, Ill. (1997), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Representative examples of penetration enhancing agents include triglycerides (e.g., soybean oil), aloe compositions (e.g., aloe-vera gel), ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, octolyphenylpolyethylene glycol, oleic acid, polyethylene glycol 400, propylene glycol, N-decylmethylsulfoxide, fatty acid esters (e.g., isopropyl myristate, methyl laurate, glycerol monooleate, and propylene glycol monooleate), and N-methylpyrrolidone.
Representative examples of yet other excipients that may be included in topical as well as in other types of formulations (to the extent they are compatible), include preservatives, antioxidants, moisturizers, emollients, buffering agents, solubilizing agents, skin protectants, and surfactants.

Transdermal formulations typically employ transdermal delivery devices and transdermal delivery patches wherein the compound is formulated in lipophilic emulsions or buffered, aqueous solutions, dissolved and/or dispersed in a polymer or an adhesive. Patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Transdermal delivery of the compounds may be accomplished by means of an iontophoretic patch. Transdermal patches may provide controlled delivery of the compounds wherein the rate of absorption is slowed by using rate-controlling membranes or by trapping the compound within a polymer matrix or gel. Absorption enhancers may be used to increase absorption, examples of which include absorbable pharmaceutically acceptable solvents that assist passage through the skin.
Ophthalmic formulations include eye drops.
Formulations for rectal administration include enemas, rectal gels, rectal foams, rectal aerosols, and retention enemas, which may contain conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides, as well as synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, PEG, and the like. Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration may also be formulated as suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compound with suitable non-irritating carriers and excipients such as cocoa butter, mixtures of fatty acid glycerides, polyethylene glycol, suppository waxes, and combinations thereof, all of which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the compound.
As used herein, the term, “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a stereoisomer thereof; or a composition including a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a stereoisomer thereof, effective in producing the desired therapeutic response in a particular patient in need thereof. Therefore, the term “therapeutically effective amount” includes the amount of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a stereoisomer thereof, that when administered, induces a positive modification in the disease or disorder to be treated, or is sufficient to prevent development or progression of the disease or disorder, or alleviate to some extent, one or more of the symptoms of the disease or disorder being treated in a subject, or which simply kills or inhibits the growth of diseased (e.g., cancer, autophagy-dependent disease (e.g., neurodegenerative disorder)) cells, or reduces the amount of at least one other of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C in diseased cells.
The total daily dosage of the inventive compounds and usage thereof may be decided in accordance with standard medical practice, e.g., by the attending physician using sound medical judgment. The specific therapeutically effective dose for any particular subject may depend upon a variety of factors including the disease or disorder being treated and the severity thereof (e.g., its present status); the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the inventive compound; and like factors well known in the medical arts (see, for example, Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 10th Edition, A. Gilman, J. Hardman and L. Limbird, eds., McGraw-Hill Press, 155-173, 2001), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers may be effective over a wide dosage range. In some embodiments, the total daily dosage (e.g., for adult humans) may range from about 0.001 to about 1600 mg, from 0.01 to about 1600 mg, from 0.01 to about 500 mg, from about 0.01 to about 100 mg, from about 0.5 to about 100 mg, from 1 to about 100400 mg per day, from about 1 to about 50 mg per day, and from about 5 to about 40 mg per day, and in yet other embodiments from about 10 to about 30 mg per day. Individual dosages may be formulated to contain the desired dosage amount depending upon the number of times the compound is administered per day. By way of example, capsules may be formulated with from about 1 to about 200 mg of an inventive compound (e.g., 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg). In some embodiments, individual dosages may be formulated to contain the desired dosage amount depending upon the number of times the compound is administered per day.
In some aspects, the present invention is directed to methods of treating diseases or disorders by reducing the level or activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C, that entails administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof, to a subject in need thereof.
In some embodiments, the level or activity of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C in the subject is reduced by, e.g., at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, at least about 45%, at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 100% as compared to an untreated control subject.
A “disease” is generally regarded as a state of health of a subject wherein the subject cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the subject's health continues to deteriorate. In contrast, a “disorder” in a subject is a state of health in which the subject is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the subject's state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal's state of health.
The term “subject” (or “patient”) as used herein includes all members of the animal kingdom prone to or suffering from the indicated disease or disorder. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal, e.g., a human or a non-human mammal. The methods are also applicable to companion animals such as dogs and cats as well as livestock such as cows, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, and other domesticated and wild animals. A subject “in need of” treatment according to the present invention may be “suffering from or suspected of suffering from” a specific disease or disorder may have been positively diagnosed or otherwise presents with a sufficient number of risk factors or a sufficient number or combination of signs or symptoms such that a medical professional could diagnose or suspect that the subject was suffering from the disease or disorder. Thus, subjects suffering from, and suspected of suffering from, a specific disease or disorder are not necessarily two distinct groups.
Degradation or depletion of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and/or PIP4K2C proteins is useful for treating and/or diagnosing cancer. In some cases, the PIP4K2C protein is targeted because it is expressed at higher levels in immune cells than the PIP4K2A and PIP4K2B proteins. Degradation or depletion of the PIP4K2A protein, the PIP4K2B protein, and/or particularly the PIP4K2C protein can enhance immune responses against cancer and tumors. Depletion or degradation of PIP4Ks, particularly PIP4K2B protein, is useful for treatment of insulin resistance.
In some embodiments, the inventive compounds may be used to reduce the level of PIP4K2B in a patient suffering from or suspected of suffering from insulin resistance. In some embodiments, the inventive compounds may be used to decrease the level of PIP4K2C in a patient suffering from or suspected of suffering from cancer, immune deficiency, autoimmune disease, or infectious disease, or a combination thereof.
In some aspects, the present invention is directed to methods of enhancing immune functions in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof.
In some embodiments, immune functions in the subject are enhanced by, e.g., at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 35%, at least about 40%, at least about 45%, at least about 50%, at least about 55%, at least about 60%, at least about 65%, at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 100% as compared to an untreated control subject.
In some aspect, the present invention is directed to methods of stimulating/activating the immune system by reducing scaffolding or interaction of at least one of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C with at least one other of PIP4K2A, PIP4K2B, and PIP4K2C or phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase (PIP5K) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof. The reduction in the scaffolding or interaction may stimulate the immune system.

As used herein, “cell proliferative diseases or disorders of the endometrium” include all forms of cell proliferative disorders affecting cells of the endometrium. Cell proliferative disorders of the endometrium may include a precancer or precancerous condition of the endometrium, benign growths or lesions of the endometrium, endometrial cancer, and metastatic lesions in tissue and organs in the body other than the endometrium. Cell proliferative disorders of the endometrium may include hyperplasia, metaplasia, and dysplasia of the endometrium.
In some embodiments, the cancer is a hematological cancer e.g., leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma.
The compounds of formula (I or I′) or bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers may be administered to a patient, e.g., a cancer patient, as a monotherapy or by way of combination therapy. Therapy may be “front/first-line”, i.e., as an initial treatment in patients who have undergone no prior anti-cancer treatment regimens, either alone or in combination with other treatments; or “second-line”, as a treatment in patients who have undergone a prior anti-cancer treatment regimen, either alone or in combination with other treatments; or as “third-line”, “fourth-line”, etc. treatments, either alone or in combination with other treatments. Therapy may also be given to patients who have had previous treatments which were unsuccessful or partially successful but who became intolerant to the particular treatment. Therapy may also be given as an adjuvant treatment, i.e., to prevent reoccurrence of cancer in patients with no currently detectable disease or after surgical removal of a tumor. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds may be administered to a patient who has received another therapy, such as chemotherapy, radioimmunotherapy, surgical therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy or any combination thereof.
The methods of the present invention may entail administration of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or I1′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof or pharmaceutical compositions thereof to the patient in a single dose or in multiple doses (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, 20, or more doses). For example, the frequency of administration may range from once a day up to about once every eight weeks. In some embodiments, the frequency of administration ranges from about once a day for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 weeks, and in other embodiments entails a 28-day cycle which includes daily administration for 3 weeks (21 days) followed by a 7-day “off” period. In other embodiments, the inventive compound may be dosed twice a day (BID) over the course of two and a half days (for a total of 5 doses) or once a day (QD) over the course of two days (for a total of 2 doses). In other embodiments, the inventive compound may be dosed once a day (QD) over the course of five days.
The compounds of formula (I or I′) and bifunctional compounds of formula (II or II′) and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers may be used in combination or concurrently with at least one other active agent, e.g., anti-cancer agent or regimen, in treating diseases and disorders. The terms “in combination” and “concurrently” in this context mean that the agents are co-administered, which includes substantially contemporaneous administration, by way of the same or separate dosage forms, and by the same or different modes of administration, or sequentially, e.g., as part of the same treatment regimen, or by way of successive treatment regimens. Thus, if given sequentially, at the onset of administration of the second compound, the first of the two compounds is in some cases still detectable at effective concentrations at the site of treatment. The sequence and time interval may be determined such that they can act together (e.g., synergistically) to provide an increased benefit than if they were administered otherwise. For example, the therapeutics may be administered at the same time or sequentially in any order at different points in time; however, if not administered at the same time, they may be administered sufficiently close in time so as to provide the desired therapeutic effect, which may be in a synergistic fashion. Thus, the terms are not limited to the administration of the active agents at exactly the same time.
In some embodiments, the treatment regimen may include administration of a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers in combination with one or more additional therapeutics known for use in treating the disease or condition (e.g., cancer). The dosage of the additional anticancer therapeutic may be the same or even lower than known or recommended doses. See, Hardman et al., eds., Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis Of Basis Of Therapeutics, 10th ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 2001; Physician's Desk Reference, 60th ed., 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. For example, anti-cancer agents that may be suitable for use in combination with the inventive compounds are known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 9,101,622 (Section 5.2 thereof) and U.S. Pat. No. 9,345,705 B2 (Columns 12-18 thereof), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Representative examples of additional active agents and treatment regimens include radiation therapy, chemotherapeutics (e.g., mitotic inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors, anti-hormones, autophagy inhibitors, alkylating agents, intercalating antibiotics, growth factor inhibitors, anti-androgens, signal transduction pathway inhibitors, anti-microtubule agents, platinum coordination complexes, HDAC inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, and topoisomerase inhibitors), immunomodulators, therapeutic antibodies (e.g., mono-specific and bifunctional antibodies) and CAR-T therapy.
In some embodiments, a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a stereoisomer thereof and the additional (e.g., anticancer) therapeutic may be administered less than 5 minutes apart, less than 30 minutes apart, less than 1 hour apart, at about 1 hour apart, at about 1 to about 2 hours apart, at about 2 hours to about 3 hours apart, at about 3 hours to about 4 hours apart, at about 4 hours to about 5 hours apart, at about 5 hours to about 6 hours apart, at about 6 hours to about 7 hours apart, at about 7 hours to about 8 hours apart, at about 8 hours to about 9 hours apart, at about 9 hours to about 10 hours apart, at about 10 hours to about 11 hours apart, at about 11 hours to about 12 hours apart, at about 12 hours to 18 hours apart, 18 hours to 24 hours apart, 24 hours to 36 hours apart, 36 hours to 48 hours apart, 48 hours to 52 hours apart, 52 hours to 60 hours apart, 60 hours to 72 hours apart, 72 hours to 84 hours apart, 84 hours to 96 hours apart, or 96 hours to 120 hours part. The two or more (e.g., anticancer) therapeutics may be administered within the same patient visit.
In some embodiments involving cancer treatment, a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or stereoisomer thereof and the additional anti-cancer agent or therapeutic are cyclically administered. Cycling therapy involves the administration of one anticancer therapeutic for a period of time, followed by the administration of a second anti-cancer therapeutic for a period of time and repeating this sequential administration, i.e., the cycle, in order to reduce the development of resistance to one or both of the anticancer therapeutics, to avoid or reduce the side effects of one or both of the anticancer therapeutics, and/or to improve the efficacy of the therapies. In one example, cycling therapy involves the administration of a first anticancer therapeutic for a period of time, followed by the administration of a second anticancer therapeutic for a period of time, optionally, followed by the administration of a third anticancer therapeutic for a period of time and so forth, and repeating this sequential administration, i.e., the cycle in order to reduce the development of resistance to one of the anticancer therapeutics, to avoid or reduce the side effects of one of the anticancer therapeutics, and/or to improve the efficacy of the anticancer therapeutics.
The inventive compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and stereoisomers and/or compositions containing them may be assembled into kits or pharmaceutical systems. Kits or pharmaceutical systems according to this aspect of the invention include a carrier or package such as a box, carton, tube or the like, having in close confinement therein one or more containers, such as vials, tubes, ampoules, or bottles, which contain a compound of formula (I or I′) or a bifunctional compound of formula (II or II′), or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. The kits or pharmaceutical systems of the invention may also include printed instructions for using the compounds and compositions.
These and other aspects of the present invention will be further appreciated upon consideration of the following Examples, which are intended to illustrate certain particular embodiments of the invention but are not intended to limit its scope, as defined by the claims.
