Description
FIELD

This application is directed to MAP4K1 inhibitors and methods for their use, such as to control the activity of MAP4K1 in a subject.


BACKGROUND

MAP4K1, also known as hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), was originally cloned from hematopoietic progenitor cells (Hu, M. C., et al., Genes Dev, 1996. 10(18): p. 2251-64). MAP4K1 is of particular interest as a target, because it is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells such as T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and mast cells (Hu, M. C., et al, Genes Dev, 1996. 10(18): p. 2251-64; Kiefer, F., et al, EMBO J, 1996. 15(24): p. 7013-25). MAP4K1 kinase activity has been shown to be induced upon activation of T cell receptors (TCR) (Liou, J., et al., Immunity, 2000. 12(4): p. 399-408), B cell receptors (BCR) (Liou, J., et al., Immunity, 2000. 12(4): p. 399-408), transforming growth factor receptor (TGF-R) (Wang, W., et al, J Biol Chem, 1997. 272(36): p. 22771-5; Zhou, G., et al, J Biol Chem, 1999. 274(19): p. 13133-8), or Gs-coupled PGE2 receptors (EP2 and EP4) (Ikegami, R, et al, J Immunol, 2001. 166(7): p. 4689-96). As such, MAP4K1 regulates diverse functions of various immune cells.


MAP4K1 is important in regulating the functions of various immune cells and it has been implicated in autoimmune diseases and anti-tumor immunity (Shui, J. W., et al, Nat Immunol, 2007. 8(1): p. 84-91; Wang, X., et al, J Biol Chem, 2012. 287(14): p. 11037-48). Those observations suggested that attenuation of MAP4K1 activity may contribute to autoimmunity in patients. Furthermore, MAP4K1 may also control anti-tumor immunity via T cell-dependent mechanisms. In the PGE2-producing Lewis lung carcinoma tumor model, the tumors developed more slowly in MAP4K1 knockout mice as compared to wild-type mice (see US 2007/0087988). In addition, it was shown that adoptive transfer of MAP4K1 deficient T cells was more effective in controlling tumor growth and metastasis than wild-type T cells (Alzabin, S., et al., Cancer Immunol Immunother, 2010. 59(3): p. 419-29). Similarly, bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) from MAP4K1 knockout mice were more efficient to mount a T cell response to eradicate Lewis lung carcinoma as compared to wild-type BMDCs (Alzabin, S., et al., J Immunol, 2009. 182(10): p. 6187-94). Data obtained from MAP4K1 kinase dead mice demonstrated that MAP4K1 kinase activity is critical in conferring suppressive functions of MAP4K1 in a wide range of immune cells including CD4+, CD8+, DC, NK to T regulatory cells (Tregs) and inactivation of kinase domain was sufficient to elict robust anti-tumor immune responses. Liu et al., PLoS ONE 14(3):e0212670 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212670. Moreover, loss of MAP4K1 kinase function suppresses tumor growth in preclinical tumor models and therapeutic co-blockade of MAP4K1 kinase and PD-L1 enhances anti-tumor responses. Hernandez S. et al., Cell Reports 2018 25: p. 80-94. Recently presented results show tumor growth inhibition in a CT-26 syngeneic mouse model using a small molecule MAP4K1 inhibitor (Seungmook, L., Cancer research. AACR Journal, 2019, Abstract 4150). These data have validated MAP4K1 as a novel drug target for enhancing antitumor immunity.


Accordingly, there is a need for new compounds that modulate MAP4K1 activity for the treatment of MAP4K1-dependent diseases or disorders such as cancer, viral infection, and other diseases and disorders. Of particular importance is the need for new compounds that selectively modulate MAP4K1 activity.

Included in the present teachings are pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds disclosed herein (including compounds 1-70 disclosed in Table 1 and Exemplification) as well as the corresponding charge neutral form e.g., free base.


Another embodiment of the disclosure is a compound disclosed herein, including a compound of Formulae I, II, III, IV(A), IV(B), V, VI or VII or a compound in Table 1 or in the exemplification or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing, in which one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced with deuterium. The deuterium enrichment at any one of the sites where hydrogen has been replaced by deuterium is at least 50%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99%. Deuterium enrichment is a mole percent and is obtained by dividing the number of compounds with deuterium enrichment at the site of enrichment with the number of compounds having hydrogen or deuterium at the site of enrichment.


Definitions

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to pharmaceutical salts that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al. describes pharmacologically acceptable salts in J. Pharm. Sci. (1977) 66:1-19. Compounds of the present teachings with basic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acid(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds described herein include salts of inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic, phosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) and of organic acids (such as acetic acid, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, and p-toluenesulfonic acids). Compounds of the present teachings with acidic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable base(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium salts).


The term “alkyl” used alone or as part of a larger moiety, such as “alkoxy”, “hydroxyalkyl” and the like, means a saturated aliphatic straight-chain or branched monovalent hydrocarbon radical. Unless otherwise specified, an alkyl group typically has 1 to 6 carbon atoms (C1-6 alkyl), (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) alternatively, 1 to 3 carbon atoms (C1-3 alkyl) (i.e., 1, 2 or 3). “C1-6 alkyl” is means a radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in a linear or branched arrangement, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, and the like.


The term “alkylene” means a bivalent alkyl group, for example C1-C6 alkyl is a group —(CH2)n- where n is 1 to 6, C1-C3 alkyl is a group —(CH2)n- where n is 1 to 3, unless otherwise specified.


“Cycloalkyl” means a saturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon ring radical. Unless otherwise specified, a cycloalkyl has 3 to 8 ring carbon atoms (C3-8 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8), alternatively, 3 to 6 ring carbon atoms (C3-6 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, 5, or 6), alternatively, 3 to 5 carbon atoms (C3-5 cycloalkyl) (i.e., 3, 4, or 5). “C3-6 Cycloalkyl” means a radical having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms arranged in a monocyclic ring. A C3-6 cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. A C3-5 cycloalkyl includes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopentyl. The term “cycloalkyl” also means to include a saturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbon fused to an aromatic group such as in Formula (I) wherein “Y and B taken together form a C5-6cycloalkyl.”


The term “halogen” or “halo” means fluorine or fluoro (F), chlorine or chloro (Cl), bromine or bromo (Br), or iodine or iodo (I).


The term “heterocycle” refers to a monocyclic non-aromatic ring radical containing unless otherwise specified, 3 to 8 ring atoms (i.e., “3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 membered”) selected from carbon atom and 1 or 2 heteroatoms. Each heteroatom is independently selected from nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO); oxygen; and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone. For example, 4-6 membered heterocycle containing nitrogen refers to a monocyclic non-aromatic ring radical containing 2-5 carbon atoms and 1 or 2 nitrogen atoms; 4-6 membered heterocycle containing oxygen atoms refers to a monocyclic non-aromatic ring radical containing 2-5 carbon atoms and 1 or 2 oxygen. Representative heterocycles include azetidinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, pyrrolidinonyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, hydantoinyl, valerolactamyl, oxiranyl, oxetanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydropyrindinyl, tetrahydropyrimidinyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, and the like.


The term “hydroxyl” or “hydroxy” refers to the group OH.


The term “substituted”, whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, refers to the replacement of a hydrogen substituent in a given structure with a non-hydrogen substituent. Thus, for example, a substituted alkyl is an alkyl wherein at least one non-hydrogen substituent is in the place of a hydrogen substituent on the alkyl group. To illustrate, monofluoroalkyl is an alkyl substituted with a fluoro substituent, and difluoroalkyl is an alkyl substituted with two fluoro substituents. It should be recognized that if there is more than one substitution on a substituent, each non-hydrogen substituent can be identical or different (unless otherwise stated).


If a group is described as “optionally substituted”, the group can be either (1) not substituted or (2) substituted.


If a group is described as optionally substituted with up to a particular number of non-hydrogen substituents, that group can be either (1) not substituted; or (2) substituted by up to that particular number of non-hydrogen substituents or by up to the maximum number of substitutable positions on the substituent, whichever is less. Thus, for example, if a group is described as a cycloalkyl optionally substituted with up to 3 non-hydrogen substituents, then any cycloalkyl with less than 3 substitutable positions would be optionally substituted by up to only as many non-hydrogen substituents as the cycloalkyl has substitutable positions.


The term “sulfone” refers to the group —S(O)2—.


Compounds having one or more chiral centers can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, i.e., each chiral center can have an R or S configuration or can be a mixture of both. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement. Stereoisomers include all diastereomeric and enantiomeric forms of a compound. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are stereoisomers having two or more chiral centers that are not identical and are not mirror images of each other.


When the stereochemical configuration at a chiral center in a compound having one or more chiral centers is depicted by its chemical name (e.g., where the configuration is indicated in the chemical name by “R” or “S”) or structure (e.g., the configuration is indicated by “wedge” bonds), the enrichment of the indicated configuration relative to the opposite configuration is greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% (except when the designation “rac” or “racemate accompanies the structure or name, as explained in the following two paragraphs).


“Enrichment of the indicated configuration relative to the opposite configuration” is a mole percent and is determined by dividing the number of compounds with the indicated stereochemical configuration at the chiral center(s) by the total number of all of the compounds with the same or opposite stereochemical configuration in a mixture.


When the stereochemical configuration at a chiral center in a compound is depicted by chemical name (e.g., where the configuration is indicated in the name by “R” or “S”) or structure (e.g., the configuration is indicated by “wedge” bonds) and the designation “rac” or “racemate” accompanies the structure or is designated in the chemical name, a racemic mixture is intended.


When two or more stereoisomers are depicted by their chemical names or structures, and the names or structures are connected by an “or”, one or the other of the two or more stereoisomers is intended, but not both. The enrichment of one stereoisomer relative to the other is as indicated above.


When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by a structure without showing a configuration at that chiral center, the structure is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center, or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center. When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by its chemical name without indicating a configuration at that chiral center with “S” or “R”, the name is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center.


A racemic mixture means a mixture of 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of its corresponding enantiomer. The present teachings encompass all enantiomerically-pure, enantiomerically-enriched, diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched, and racemic mixtures, and diastereomeric mixtures of the compounds described herein.


Enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and diastereomers can also be obtained from diastereomerically- or enantiomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well known asymmetric synthetic methods.


“Peak 1” or “first eluting isomer” in the Experimental section refers to an intended reaction product compound obtained from a chromatography separation/purification that elutes earlier than a second intended reaction product compound from the same preceding reaction. The second intended product compound is referred to as “peak 2” or “second eluting isomer”.


When a compound is designated by a name or structure that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as “enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.


When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that, unless otherwise indicated, one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers are included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.

Methods for preparing compounds of the disclosure can be carried out in suitable solvents which can be readily selected by one of skill in the art of organic synthesis. Suitable solvents can be substantially non-reactive with the starting materials (reactants), intermediates, or products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, e.g., temperatures which can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected by the skilled artisan.


Preparation of compounds of the disclosure can involve the protection and deprotection of various chemical groups. The need for protection and deprotection, and the selection of appropriate protecting groups, can be readily determined by one skilled in the art. The chemistry of protecting groups can be found, for example, in Wuts and Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 5th ed., John Wiley & Sons: New Jersey, (2014), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Reactions can be monitored according to any suitable method known in the art. For example, product formation can be monitored by spectroscopic means, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (e.g., 1H or 13C), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, spectrophotometry (e.g., UV-visible), mass spectrometry (MS), or by chromatographic methods such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin layer chromatography (TLC). Analytical instruments and methods for compound characterization:


LC-MS: Unless otherwise indicated, all liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data (sample analyzed for purity and identity) were obtained with an Agilent model-1260 LC system using an Agilent model 6120 mass spectrometer utilizing ES-API ionization fitted with an Agilent Poroshel 120 (EC-C18, 2.7 um particle size, 3.0×50 mm dimensions) reverse-phase column at 22.4 degrees Celsius. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of solvent 0.1% FA in water and 0.1% FA in acetonitrile. A constant gradient from 95% aqueous/5% organic to 5% aqueous/95% organic mobile phase over the course of 4 minutes was utilized. The flow rate was constant at 1 mL/min.


Prep LC-MS: Preparative HPLC was performed on a Shimadzu Discovery VP® Preparative system fitted with a Luna 5u C18(2) 100A, AXIA packed, 250×21.2 mm reverse-phase column at 22.4 degrees Celsius. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of solvent 0.1% FA in water and 0.1% FA in ACN. A constant gradient from 95% aqueous/5% organic to 5% aqueous/95% organic mobile phase over the course of 25 minutes was utilized. The flow rate was constant at 20 mL/min. Reactions carried out in a microwave were done so in a Biotage Initiator microwave unit.


Silica gel chromatography: Silica gel chromatography was performed on either a Teledyne Isco CombiFlash® Rf unit or a Biotage® Isolera Four unit.


Proton NMR: Unless otherwise indicated, all 1H NMR spectra were obtained with a Varian 400 MHz Unity Inova 400 MHz NMR instrument (acquisition time=3.5 seconds with a 1 second delay; 16 to 64 scans). Where characterized, all protons were reported in DMSO-d6 solvent as parts-per million (ppm) with respect to residual DMSO (2.50 ppm).


One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that modifications of the gradient, column length, and flow rate are possible and that some conditions may be more suitable for compound characterization than others, depending on the chemical species being analyzed.

Step 1: Methyl (E)-2-(but-2-en-2-yl)-6-methoxynicotinate

K3PO4 (120 g, 565 mmol, 3.00 eq) and Pd(dppf)Cl2—CH2Cl2 (7.70 g, 9.42 mmol, 0.05 eq) were added to a solution of methyl 2-chloro-6-methoxynicotinate (38.0 g, 188 mmol, 1.00 eq) and (Z)-2-(but-2-en-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (44.6 g, 245 mmol, 1.30 eq) in THF (320 mL) and H2O (80.0 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred under N2 at 70° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (300 mL) and extracted with EA (250 mL×3). The organic layers were combined and dried over sodium sulfate, then filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the residue. The residue was purified by prep-HPLC (ACN-H2O gradient with 0.1% TFA additive). The product-containing fractions were adjusted to pH=8-9 with solid sodium carbonate and the mixture was extracted with EA (300 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (500 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the title compound (37.0 g, 167 mmol, 88.7% yield) as a yellow oil.


Step 2: 2-Methoxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one

A solution of methyl (E)-2-(but-2-en-2-yl)-6-methoxynicotinate (37.0 g, 167 mmol, 1.00 eq) in TfOH (171 g, 1.15 mol, 101 mL, 6.85 eq) was stirred at 80° C. for 0.5 h. The mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature, poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (1000 mL) and extracted with EA (300 mL×5). The organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give a residue. The residue was purified by flash-column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 1% to 25% EA-PE) to give the title compound (30.0 g, 144 mmol, 86.6% yield) as a yellow oil.


Steps 3: 2-Hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one

The reaction mixture was purified directly by flash-column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 2% to 10% MeOH-DCM) to give the title compound (26.0 g, 134 mmol, 92.9% yield) as a yellow solid.


Step 4: rac-(7S,8S)-2-Hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one and rac-(7S,8R)-2-hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one

DBU (60.8 mL, 403 mmol, 3.00 eq) was added to a solution of 2-hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one (26.0 g, 134 mmol, 1.00 eq) in toluene (290 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 12 h, then was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash-column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution, 1% to 10% MeOH-DCM) to afford the title compounds as a mixture of isomers that were used in the next step without further purification.


Step 5: rac-(7S,8S)-2-Chloro-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one and rac-(7S,8R)-2-chloro-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one

A mixture of rac-(7S,8S)-2-hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one and rac-(7S,8R)-2-hydroxy-7,8-dimethyl-7,8-dihydro-5H-pyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-one (26.0 g, 134 mmol, 1 equiv) in POCl3 (150 mL, 1.61 mol, 11.9 equiv) was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to ambient temperature and poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (2 L) at 0-10° C.

Example 4: Inhibition of MAP4K1 Biochemical Enzymatic Activity

MAP4K1 (HPK1) and relevant off-target enzymatic activity was monitored using the Perkin Elmer electrophoretic mobility shift technology platform—the EZReader 2. Fluorescent labeled substrate peptide was incubated in the presence of kinase and ATP, and in the presence of dosed compound, such that each dose of compound resulted in a reflective proportion of the peptide to be phosphorylated. Within the linear, steady-state phase of the kinase enzymatic reaction, the mixed pool of phosphorylated (product) and non-phosphorylated (substrate) peptides was passed through the microfluidic system of the PerkinElmer EZ Reader 2, under an applied electric potential difference. The presence of the phosphate group on the product peptide provided a difference in mass and charge between that of the substrate peptide, resulting in a separation of the substrate and product pools in the sample (Perrin et al. 2010). As the product and substrate peptide mixture passes the lasers within the instrument, these pools are detected (λex=488 nm, λem=568 nm) and resolved as separate peaks. The ratio between these peaks reflects the activity of the compound at that concentration, in that well, under those conditions.


Enzyme Activity Inhibition Assay Protocol:

Inhibitors were dissolved in 100% DMSO at a stock concentration of 10 mM. A 100×, 10-point, 4-fold serial dilution of each inhibitor was created in 100% DMSO either manually or on a Hamilton STAR liquid handler, starting at a relevant concentration, usually 1 mM. A volume of 0.130 μL of each concentration was transferred to the relevant wells of a 384-well plate (Greiner 781 201) in duplicate using a TTPLabtech Mosquito nano-litre dispenser. Using a Multidrop Combi, the remaining constituents of the kinase reaction were added to the 130 nL of dosed compound as follows (see table below for final reaction details):


Enzyme activity assays at the APPKM for ATP or 1 mM ATP: In each well of a 384-well plate, 0.1-15 nM of untreated enzyme was incubated in a total of 13 μL of buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT) with 1.5 μM fluorescent peptide and 20-1000 μM ATP, at 25° C., for 60-180 minutes in the presence or absence of a dosed concentration series of compound (1% DMSO final concentration). The kinase reactions were stopped by the addition of 70 μl of Stop buffer (100 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 0.015% Brij 35, 35 mM EDTA and 0.2% of Coating Reagent 3 (Caliper Lifesciences)). The plates were read on a Caliper EZReader 2 as described above.

Example 5: T Cell Enhancement of Cytokines

Isolation and Expansion of T Cells from Whole Blood


T cells are isolated from whole blood of healthy donors by immunomagnetic negative selection following manufacture's protocol (StemCell Technologies, human T cell isolation kit). Purity of isolated cells is assessed by flow cytometry and yields 95-98% CD3+ T cells. For expansion of T cells, 1×106 cells/well are plated in serum free cell expansion media (ThermoFisher) containing 30U of recombinant human IL2 (R&D) and stimulated with 25 ul of CD3/CD28 beads (Invitrogen) in 24 well plates for 3-4 days. T cells are then expanded in 175 cm flasks and maintained at a cell density of 1 to 2.5×106 cells/ml days by addition of ⅔ of fresh media every 2-3 days. After 10-14 days, cells are frozen in BamBanker freezing media (Thermo) and stored in liquid nitrogen. Phenotypic analysis of expanded T cells by flow cytometry, routinely shows 60% cells are CD8+ T cells upon freezing.


Cytokine Measurement

For IL2 measurement, expanded CD3+ T cells are dispensed at 100K cells/well (cultured in X-VIVO 10 Serum-free media) and are stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 in the presence of vehicle or compound of the disclosure at various concentrations for 24 h. As outlined in the manufacturer's protocol (Cisbio), 16 μL of conditioned media is transferred to a white 384-well low volume plate. Following a 24 h incubation with the anti-IL2 antibodies, the homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF) is measured.


Example 6: Inhibition of Anti-Tumor Activity in a Syngeneic Mouse Model

Generation of the MCA205 Syngeneic xenograft anti-tumor efficacy study Six to eight-week-old female, C57BL/6 mice (Jackson Labs, Bar Harbor, ME) are implanted subcutaneously on the left flank with 1×106 MCA205 cells/mouse. After tumors reach an average volume of 50 mm3, mice are randomized into treatment groups, 10 mice per group, with tumors in the size range of 30-70 mm3. Compounds of the disclosure 10-30 mg/kg, anti-mouse PD-L1 mAb (B7 H1, clone #10F.9G2 Bio-X-cell, Lebanon, NH) and vehicle either alone or in different combinations are administered to tumor bearing mice. Reduction in tumor volume is measured [mm3] over time.
