Disclosed are compounds which find utility in the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases and metabolic bone disorders through inhibition of c-FMS (CSF-1R), c-KIT, and/or PDGFR kinases. These compounds also find utility in the treatment of other mammalian diseases mediated by c-FMS, c-KIT, or PDGFR kinases.
Autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune arthritis, represent significant human diseases of high morbidity and prevalence. Rheumatoid arthritis affects ˜0.6% of the world population (Firestein, G. S., Nature (2003) 423: 356). While the adaptive immune response, involving generation of auto-antibodies which react with tissue antigen, is involved in the etiology and initial propagation of these diseases (Edwards, J. C. et al, New England Journal of Medicine (2004) 350: 2572; Genovese, M. C. et al, New England Journal of Medicine (2005) 353: 1114), the chronic manifestations of tissue and joint damage are mediated in large part by cellular events mediated by the innate immune response (Firestein, G. S., Nature (2003) 423: 356; Paniagua, R. T. et al, Arthritis Research & Therapy (2010) 12: R32). Contributing cell types from the innate immune response which mediate chronic tissue damage include fibroblast-like synoviocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and osteoclasts.
Kinases represent a protein family that play critical roles in mammalian cell function, including cell proliferation, survival, motility, response to growth factors, and secretion of cytokines and other proinflammatory, proangiogenic, and immunomodulatory substances. Thus, elucidation of kinases which mediate these events in fibroblast-like synoviocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and osteoclasts represents a rational approach to new therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Imatinib is a marketed kinase inhibitor for the treatment of the cancer chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML, Druker, B. J. et al, New England Journal of Medicine (2001) 344: 1031) and for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST, Demetri, G. D., et al, New England Journal of Medicine (2002) 347: 472). Imatinib has also shown benefit in cancer patients co-presenting with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (Ihara, M. K. et al, Clinical Rheumatology (2003) 22: 362; Eklund, K. K. and Joensuu, H., Ann Medicine (2003) 35: 362; Ames, P. R. et al, Journal of Rheumatology (2008) 35: 1682). The kinases inhibited by imatinib which confer its efficacy in the treatment of CML and GIST are BCR-ABL kinase and c-KIT kinase, respectively. Beyond these two kinases, other kinases inhibited by imatinib include c-FMS, PDGFR-alpha, and PDGFR-beta (Dewer, A. L. et al, Blood (2005) 105: 3127; Fabian, M. A. et al, Nature Biotechnology (2005) 23: 329.
Recent research disclosures have identified c-FMS kinase to be associated with activation of synovial macrophages, PDGFR kinase to be associated with activation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes, and c-KIT kinase to be associated with activation of mast cells (Paniagua, R. T., et al Journal of Clinical Investigation (2006) 116: 2633). c-FMS kinase has also been associated with the proliferation and differentiation of monocytes into macrophages and osteoclasts, which are recruited to mediate joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis (Paniagua, R. T. et al, Arthritis Research & Therapy (2010) 12: R32; Yao, Z. et al, Journal of Biological Chemistry (2006) 281: 11846; Patel, S, and Player, M. R. Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (2009) 9: 599; Pixley, F. J. et al, Trends in Cell Biology (2004) 14: 628).
In recent years, the importance of the tumor microenvironment in cancer motility, invasion, and metastasis has become more clearly defined. Specifically, the role of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in tumor progression has been studied. These host (stromal) macrophages are recruited to tumor sites or to pre-metastatic niches to modify the tumor environment and render that environment more conducive to tumor motility, invasion and metastasis. These TAMs are known to express c-FMS receptor tyrosine kinase (also known as CSF-1R) on their surfaces and to rely on signaling through this kinase by binding to the activating ligands CSF-1 (also known as macrophase colony stimulating factor, or MCSF) and interleukin-34 (IL-34). Activation of this c-FMS/MCSF (CSF1-R/CSF-1) signaling axis stimulates monocyte proliferation, differentiation into tumor associated macrophages, and promotion of macrophage cell survival. By stimulating the TAM component of the tumor microenvironment, c-FMS kinase activation is associated with tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis (J. Condeelis and J. W. Pollard, Cell (2006) 124: 263; S. Patel and M. R. Player, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (2009) 9: 599). Ablation of CSF-1, the ligand for c-FMS kinase, in mice reduced tumor progression and significantly reduced metastasis in a murine model of breast cancer; whereas overexpression of CSF-1 accelerated metastasis in this model (E. Y. Lin et al, Journal of Experimental Medicine (2001) 193: 727). Furthermore, an interaction between tumor cells and macrophages has been described, wherein macrophage secretion of the tumor growth factor EGF and tumor cell secretion of CSF-1 establish a paracrine loop that promotes tumor migration and invasiveness. This paracrine loop was blocked by administration of an antibody to the c-FMS kinase (J. Wyckoff et al, Cancer Research (2004) 64: 7022). Correlative clinical data have also shown that overexpression of CSF-1 in tumors is a predictor of poor prognosis (R. D. Leek and A. L. Harris, Journal of Mammary Gland Biology Neoplasia (2002) 7: 177; E. Y. Lin et al, Journal of Mammary Gland Biology Neoplasia (2002) 7: 147). c-FMS kinase activation is also required for osteoclast differentiation and activation. Its involvement in mediating bone metastases of various cancers, including breast and prostate cancers, has been reported (S. Patel and M. R. Player, Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry (2009) 9: 599). High plasma concentrations of CSF-1 have been reported in bone metastatic prostate cancer, implicating activation of osteoclast c-FMS kinase in prostate cancer bone metastases (H. Ide, et al, Human Cell (2008) 21:1). c-FMS inhibitors have been reported to reduce radiographic bone lesions when evaluated in models of metastatic bone disease (C. L. Manthey, et al, Molecular Cancer Therapy (2009) δ: 3151; H. Ohno et al, Mol. Cancer. Therapy (2006) 5: 2634). MCSF-mediated activation of both LYVE-1+ and LYVE1− macrophages also mediates pathological angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in murine models of cancer, and blockade of c-FMS signaling resulted in suppression of tumor angiogenesis/lymphangiogenesis (Y. Kubota et al., Journal of Experimental Medicine (2009) 206: 1089). Administration of a CSF-1R inhibitor blocked the recruitment of bone marrow derived TAMs and also bone marrow derived monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) to tumor sites; this blockade led to a significant decrease in tumor angiogenesis and when combined with anti-VEGFR-2 therapy synergistically suppressed tumor growth (S. J. Priceman, et al. Blood (2010) 115: 1461). Irradiation of glioblastoma tumors in mice was shown to cause a temporary decrease in tumor size only to be followed by a rebound tumor vasculogenesis mediated by the recruitment of bone marrow derived monocytes expressing CD11b and F4/80 surface antigens (M. Kioi et al, Journal of Clinical Investigation (2010) 120: 694). CD11b+ and F4/80+ monocytes are also known to express functional c-FMS receptors. Hence, blockade of tumor infiltrating c-FMS+ bone marrow derived monocytes by the use of c-FMS kinase inhibitors offers the potential to prevent tumor rebound vasculogenesis and glioblastoma tumor progression. CSF-1R blockade has also been shown to reverse immunotolerance mechanisms in an immunocompetent murine breast cancer model and promote the appearance of anti-tumor immune programs by upregulating CD8+ T-cell-mediated tumor suppression. Restoration of an anti-tumor immune program was mechanistically linked to c-FMS inhibitor blockade of TAM-mediated Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PDL-1) immunotolerance (D. G. DeNardo, et al. Cancer Discovery (2011) 1: OF52).
Hence, small molecule inhibitors of c-FMS kinase, c-KIT kinase, or PDGFR kinases provide a rational approach to new therapies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and to particularly block the chronic tissue destruction mediated by the innate immune system. Inhibition of c-FMS kinase also provides a rational approach to new therapies for the treatment of cancers, especially for the treatment of cancer invasiveness, cancer angiogenesis or vasculogenesis, cancer metastasis, cancer immunotolerance, and for the treatment of cancers prone to bone metastases.
There is a need to provide kinase inhibitors which selectively inhibit kinases causative of the chronic tissue destruction in autoimmune disease (c-FMS, c-KIT, PDGFR), without inhibiting other kinases targeted by marketed cancer therapeutics (ABL, BCR-ABL, KDR, SRC, LCK, LYN, FGFR and other kinases). The present invention discloses novel inhibitors that inhibit c-FMS, c-KIT, and/or PDGFR kinases for the treatment of autoimmune diseases which also exhibit selectivity by not potently inhibiting other kinases including ABL, BCR-ABL, KDR, SRC, LCK, LYN, FGFR, MET and other kinases. The inhibitors of the present invention also find utility in the treatment of other mammalian diseases, including human diseases, mediated by c-FMS, c-KIT, or PDGFR kinases. Such diseases include, without limitation, cancers, autoimmune diseases, and bone resorptive diseases.

Structural, chemical and stereochemical definitions are broadly taken from IUPAC recommendations, and more specifically from Glossary of Terms used in Physical Organic Chemistry (IUPAC Recommendations 1994) as summarized by Müller, P. Pure Appl. Chem. 1994, 66, pp. 1077-1184 and Basic Terminology of Stereochemistry (IUPAC Recommendations 1996) as summarized by Moss, G. P. Pure Appl. Chem. 1996, 68, pp. 2193-2222.
Atropisomers are defined as a subclass of conformers which can be isolated as separate chemical species and which arise from restricted rotation about a single bond.
Regioisomers or structural isomers are defined as isomers involving the same atoms in different arrangements.
Enantiomers are defined as one of a pair of molecular entities which are mirror images of each other and non-superimposable.
Diastereomers or diastereoisomers are defined as stereoisomers other than enantiomers. Diastereomers or diastereoisomers are stereoisomers not related as mirror images. Diastereoisomers are characterized by differences in physical properties, and by some differences in chemical behavior towards achiral as well as chiral reagents.
The term “tautomer” as used herein refers to compounds produced by the phenomenon wherein a proton of one atom of a molecule shifts to another atom. See March, Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms and Structures, 4th Ed., John Wiley & Sons, pp. 69-74 (1992). Tautomerism is defined as isomerism of the general form
where the isomers (called tautomers) are readily interconvertible; the atoms connecting the groups X, Y and Z are typically any of C, H, O, or S, and G is a group which becomes an electrofuge or nucleofuge during isomerization. The most common case, when the electrofuge is H+, is also known as “prototropy.” Tautomers are defined as isomers that arise from tautomerism, independent of whether the isomers are isolable.
The exemplified compounds of the present invention are preferably formulated as a pharmaceutical composition using a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and administered by a variety of routes.

The compounds of Formula I (1) may contain —NH or —OH moieties in the W, R1, R2, R3, R5, R6, and R9 positions. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that in some instances it may be advantageous to use an amine protecting group during synthesis to temporarily mask one or more —NH or —OH moieties. Said protecting group can be removed from any subsequent intermediate leading to the synthesis of compound 1, using standard conditions that effect removal of said protecting group, said conditions of which will be familiar to those skilled in the art. When not specified in a scheme, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the W, R1, R2, and R3 moieties represented in the schemes below may optionally contain standard amino or hydroxyl protecting groups that can be removed at any opportune time in the synthetic sequence.
Compounds 1 of the invention can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 1. In one embodiment, N-acylisocyantes of formula 3 are reacted with amine 5, typically in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, to provide compound 1 (R4=H). Isocyanate 3 is prepared from acid chloride 2 by reaction with silver cyanate, or alternately from amide 6 (R4=H) by reaction with oxalyl chloride. If not commercially available, 2 and 6 can readily be prepared from acid 4 by standard methods. In another embodiment, compound 1 (R4=H) can be prepared by reaction of N-acyl carbamate 7 with amine 5 in the presence of a base, for example N-methylpyrrolidine, typically at elevated temperature, for example 50-80° C. Carbamate 7 is prepared from amide 6 (R4=H) by treatment with a strong base, for example lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide, and quenching of the resultant anion with isopropenyl chloroformate to provide 7. In another embodiment, compound 1 (R4≠H) is prepared by reaction of carbonyl chloride 8 (R4≠H) with general amine 5. Intermediate 8 is prepared from amide 6 (R4≠H) by reaction with phosgene or the like. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that intermediates of scheme 1 may be isolated or may be generated and used in situ.
General amines 5 wherein W is —NHC(O)R5, —NHC(O)R6, or —NHC(O)N(R7)R8 can be synthesized according to methods commonly known to those skilled in the art as illustrated in Scheme 2. In one embodiment, halonitropyridine 9 (Y is halo) is reacted with 2-chloro-4-hydroxypyridine (10) to provide ether 11. Suitable conditions include combining 9 and 10 with a base, for example cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate, and heating said mixture at a temp of 80-120° C. in a solvent such as dimethylformamide to effect ether formation. Further conversion of 11 to 13 is effected by reaction of 11 with reagent H—W (12) in the presence of a palladium catalyst, typically tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium [Pd2(dba)3], and a suitable ligand, for example 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene [Xantphos], 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl [X-phos], or 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene [dppf], and a base such as cesium carbonate. Additional conditions include heating in a solvent such as dioxane at a temperature of 80-120° C. under inert atmosphere. Further reduction of the nitro group of 13 provides general amine 5.
General amines 5 wherein W is —C(O)N(R7)R8 are prepared as illustrated in Scheme 3. Thus, treatment of 4-chloro-pyridine-2-carbonyl chloride (14) with amine 15 provides 16. Further reaction of chloropyridine 16 with hydroxypyridine 17 in the presence of a base, for example potassium tert-butoxide in a polar aprotic solvent, such as dimethylacetamide, provides 18, an example of general amine 5 wherein W is —C(O)N(R7)R8.
In addition to the methods above, an alternative synthesis of compounds I wherein the W moiety is ureido [—NHC(O)N(R7)R8) and —NHC(O)R6) (wherein R6 is an nitrogen containing heterocycle with an N-bonding hand)] is illustrated in Scheme 4. Using the methods of Scheme 1, amine 19, prepared according to scheme 2 employing tert-butylcarbamate as reagent 12, is converted to 20. Removal of the carbamate protecting group, for example by exposure to trifluoracetic acid, provides aminopyridine 21. Further reaction of 21 with isopropenyl chloroformate in the presence of a base provides intermediate 22. Treatment of 22 with amine 15 or heterocyclic amine 24 provides compounds 23 or 25, respectively.

The inhibition reaction was started by mixing serial diluted test compound with the above reaction mixture. The absorption at 340 nm was monitored continuously for 4 hours at 30° C. on Synergy 2 plate reader. The reaction rate was calculated using the 3 to 4 h time frame. Percent inhibition was obtained by comparison of reaction rate with that of a control (i.e. in the absence of test compound).

The inhibition reaction was started by mixing serial diluted test compound with the above reaction mixture. The absorption at 340 nm was monitored continuously for 4 h at 30° C. on a Polarstar Optima or Synergy 2 plate reader. The reaction rate was calculated using the 1.5 to 2.5 h time frame.

Analysis of cFOS mRNA Production in a c-FMS Mouse Spleen Pharmacodynamic Model
To examine the in vivo modulation of FMS activity by compounds of formula I, spleen samples from female DBA/1 mice were collected and analyzed for M-CSF stimulated production of cFOS mRNA. Briefly, six to seven week old female Taconic DBA/1BO J Bom Tac mice were treated with a single oral dose (by gavage) of either vehicle or compound. Plasma and spleen samples are collected from four mice at each timepoint 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 hours after dosing. Fifteen minutes prior to euthanasia, all mice were injected IV with 1 μg (100 μL fixed volume) of M-CSF. M-CSF, Recombinant Mouse Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (36.4 kDa homodimer, ≧98% purity) was obtained from Gibco. All procedures carried out in this experiment were conducted in compliance with all the laws, regulations and guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). cFOS mRNA levels in spleen extracts were determined using a quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR kit from Life Technologies. Plasma levels of FMS inhibitors were determined by mass spectrometer analysis. The degree of FMS inhibition was correlative to the amount of decrease observed in cFOS mRNA levels in the spleen samples of treated animals compared to vehicle.
In this model, Examples 3, 8, 11, 21, 23, 26, 34, 45, 62 and 83 afforded ≧50% inhibition of cFOS mRNA levels out to 8 h post 30 mg/kg dose.
To evaluate in vivo anti-cancer activity of compounds of formula I, the PC-3 M-luc peritibial injection model of bone invasiveness model was employed. Briefly, PC-3 M-luc cells were obtained from Xenogen Corporation (Caliper Life Sciences) and expanded using MEM media modified with L-Glutamine (Cell Gro® #10-045-CV) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine, 1% non-essential amino acids, and 1% MEM vitamins in 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C. Six to 7 week old male nude mice (Crl:NU-Foxn1nu) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories. Test mice were implanted peritibially on Day 0 with 1×106 cells/mouse (0.1 mL) using an insulin syringe with a fixed 28-gauge needle. The needle was inserted at the ankle between the tibia and fibula until the bevel of the needle reaches approximately half way between the knee and ankle Treatments began on Day 0. Animals were dosed by oral gavage twice daily for the study duration. All procedures carried out in this experiment were conducted in compliance with all the laws, regulations and guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). When the primary tumor reaches approximately 800 mg in size, ex-vivo micro-CT was performed on the tumor bearing fixed hind limb samples using a GE RS150 small animal micro-CT scanner using with the following settings:
X-ray tube voltage=70 k Vp
X-ray tube current=25 mA
Exposure time=20 ms
Number of frames=500
Angle increment between frames=0.4o
Number of averages per frame=2
Acquisition method=Parker
Images were then reconstructed at high resolution (100 microns; isotropic). Isosurface volume renderings were used to delineate lesions in the hind limbs. A constant threshold was used to produce consistent representation of the isosurface between different anatomical sites and samples. Lesions in the right hind limb were scored with values of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 based on a qualitative assessment of lesion size as defined by:
0: Normal Bone
1: Minimal lesions. Some roughening of the isosurface. Small areas of apparent bone resorption.
2: Mild. More numerous lesions. Significant roughening of the isosurface. Full thickness lesions apparent.
3: Moderate. Full thickness lesions larger and more numerous.
4: Marked. Many, large, full thickness lesions. Significant distortion of remaining structure. Marked bone loss.
Example 45 was evaluated in this model an demonstrated positive benefit with a lesion score of 3 compared to a lesion score of 4 in vehicle-treated animals.
To evaluate in vivo anti-cancer activity compounds of formula I in combination with fractionated, localized head radiation, an orthotopic U251-luc (Luc) human glioma carcinoma model in female outbred nu/nu mice was employed. Briefly, U251 cells were obtained from the ATCC and altered to be luciferase expressing. They were grown in RPMI 1640 Media supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PSG. The growth environment was maintained in an incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C. Female Harlan Nude mice (Hsd:AthymicNude-Fox1nu) 8-9 weeks old were used in this study. Test animals were implanted intracranially with U251-luc (LucmCherry) cells. Briefly, animals were injected subcutaneously with 5 mg/kg carprofen and anesthetized using 2% isoflurane in air. The animals were then secured in a stereotaxic frame (ASIinstruments, Inc.) and a hole drilled 2 mm right lateral, 1 mm anterior to the coronal suture. The cell suspension (stored on wet ice) was mixed thoroughly and drawn up into a 50 μL syringe. The syringe needle was centered over the burr hole and lowered 3 mm into the brain and retracted 1 mm to form a “reservoir” for the deposition of the cell suspension. 10 μL of the cell suspension (1×106 cells/mouse) was then injected slowly into the brain tissue. Tumor progression was tracked with in vivo bioluminescence imaging performed using an IVIS 50 optical imaging system (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.). Bioluminescence images were acquired at periodic intervals for tumor burden estimation. All procedures carried out in this experiment were conducted in compliance with all the laws, regulations and guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Treatment began when the mean brain bioluminescence signal for all groups in the experiment is ˜1.3×109 photons/sec (typically 9 days post-implant). All mice received 2Gy of radiation each day for five consecutive days from a RadSource RS-2000 irradiator. Additionally, mice received test compound dosed by oral gavage or optionally with co-administered bevacizumab by tail vein injection. Bioluminescence images were acquired generally on days 8, 10, 14, 17, 21, 22, 24, 28 and 35 post-implant for tumor burden estimation. For each measurement, each mouse was injected subcutaneously with 150 mg/kg D-Luciferin (Promega) and imaged 10 minutes after the injection. Images were analyzed using Living Image (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.) software. The BLI signal in the brain was calculated with a fixed area ROI to estimate the tumor burden. Average BLI signal for each group was compared to vehicle control to determine therapeutic benefit. Twenty-eight days after the first radiation treatment mice were euthanized, via over-exposure to carbon dioxide, for blood and brain collection. Whole blood was collected via terminal cardiac puncture and placed into EDTA Microtainer® tubes. Brains were excised and placed into 10% neutral buffered formalin.
Example 45, when dosed at 30 mg/kg twice daily, effected an 80% reduction in tumor re-growth 10 days post irradiation compared to vehicle treated control animals.
To evaluate the in vivo anti-cancer activity of compounds of formula I, an intracranial implant of GL261-luc2 murine glioma is employed. Briefly GL261-luc2 cells are obtained from Caliper Life Sciences, Inc and expaned in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Media (DMEM) which is supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PSG. The growth environment is maintained in an incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C. Following expansion, cells are re-suspended using serum-free media to generate a concentration of 1×108 cells/mL. Six to seven week old female C57BL/6J-Tyrc-2J/J from Jackson Labs are implanted intracranially on Day 0 with GL261-luc2 cells. For aseptic surgical implantation, animals are injected subcutaneously with 5 mg/kg carprofen, anesthetized using 2% isoflurane in air. The animals are then secured in a stereotaxic frame (ASIinstruments, Inc.) and a hole is drilled 2 mm right lateral, 1 mm anterior to the coronal suture. The cell suspension (stored on wet ice) is mixed thoroughly and drawn up into a 50 μL syringe. The syringe needle is centered over the burr hole and lowered 3 mm into the brain and retracted 1 mm to form a “reservoir” for the deposition of the cell suspension. 10 μL of the cell suspension (1×106 cells/mouse) is then injected slowly into the brain tissue. Tumor progression is tracked with in vivo bioluminescence imaging performed using an IVIS 50 optical imaging system (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.). Bioluminescence images are acquired at periodic intervals for tumor burden estimation. The quantity of emitted light from the tumor after systemic injection of D-Luciferin is expected to correlate with tumor size. Each mouse is injected intraperitoneally (IP) with 150 mg/kg D-Luciferin and imaged in the prone position 10 minutes after the injection. Medium and small binning of the CCD chip is used, and the exposure time is adjusted (10 seconds to 1 minute) to obtain at least several hundred counts from the tumors and to avoid saturation of the CCD chip. Images are analyzed using Living Image (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.) software. Each unique signal is circled manually and labeled by group and mouse number. Treatment begins by oral gavage of test compound when the mean brain bioluminescence signal for all groups in the experiment is 280×106 photons/sec. All procedures carried out in this experiment are conducted in compliance with all the laws, regulations and guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). At the end of study all mice are euthanized via over-exposure to carbon dioxide for blood and brain collection. Whole blood is collected via terminal cardiac puncture and placed into EDTA Microtainer® tubes. Brains are excised and placed into 10% neutral buffered formalin.
To evaluate the in vivo anti-cancer activity compounds of formula I, a MDA-MB-231-luc-D3H2LN human breast carcinoma xenograft is employed. Briefly, MDA-MB-231-luc-D3H2LN cells are obtained from Xenogen and expanded in Minimal Essential Media (MEM) with EBSS which is modified with 1% L-glutamine and supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% PSG, 1% non-essential amino acids, and 1% sodium pyruvate. The growth environment is maintained in an incubator with a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37° C. Cells are harvested and re-suspended using 50% serum-free media and 50% Matrigel® to generate a stock concentration of 5×106cells/mL.
Six to 7 week old female C.B-17/IcrHsd-PrkdcscidLystbg mice are injected with 200 μL of cell suspension subcutaneously, just below the right axilla. All procedures carried out in this experiment are conducted in compliance with all the laws, regulations and guidelines of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Treatment begins when the mean tumor burden is approximately 150 mg. All mice are dosed with test compound by oral gavage. Body weights and tumor measurements are recorded three times weekly. Tumor burden (mg) is estimated from caliper measurements by the formula for the volume of a prolate ellipsoid assuming unit density as: Tumor burden (mg)=(L×W2)/2, where L and W are the respective orthogonal tumor length and width measurements (mm). The primary endpoints to evaluate efficacy is % T/C. % T/C is defined as the median tumor mass of a Treated Group divided by the median tumor mass of the Control Group×100. Ex vivo bioluminescence imaging is performed as animals exit the study, using an IVIS 50 optical imaging system (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.). Animals are injected IP with 150 mg/kg D-Luciferin (Promega) and euthanized 10 minutes following the injection. The primary tumor is removed and snap frozen for future analysis and the mouse opened and imaged in the supine position. Large binning of the CCD chip is used, and the exposure time is adjusted (1 to 2 minutes) to obtain at least several hundred counts from the tumors and to avoid saturation of the CCD chip. Images are analyzed using Living Image (Xenogen, Alameda, Calif.) software. Each unique signal is circled manually and labeled by group and mouse number. Total BLI signal is correlative to tumor size and compared to vehicle control to determine treatment benefit.
