Patent Application
20180086719
The present application relates to novel compounds that selectively inhibit the activities of PI3K isoforms and their uses in therapeutic treatments.
Cell signaling via 3′-phosphorylated phosphoinositides has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes, e.g., malignant transformation, growth factor signaling, inflammation, and immunity (Rameh et al., J. Biol. Chem., 274:8347-8350, 1999). Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase or PI3K) is responsible for generating these phosphorylated signaling products. PI3K was initially identified as a protein associated with viral oncoproteins and growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases that phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol (PI) and its phosphorylated derivatives at the 3′-hydroxyl of the inositol ring (Panayotou et al., Trends Cell Biol., 2:358-60, 1992).
Three classes of the PI 3-kinase (PI3K) are proposed based on the substrate specificities. Class I PI3Ks phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) to produce phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol-3,4-biphosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate, respectively. Also, Class II PI3Ks phosphorylate PI and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate, and Class III PI3Ks phosphorylate PI.
The initial purification and molecular cloning of PI 3-kinase revealed that it was a heterodimer consisting of p85 and p110 subunits (Otsu et al., Cell, 65:91-104, 1991; Hiles et al., Cell, 70:419-29, 1992). Later, four distinct Class I PI3Ks were identified and designated as PI3K α, β, δ, and γ isoforms. Each isoform consists of a distinct 110 kDa catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. The catalytic subunits of PI3K α, β, and δ (i.e., p110α, p110β, and p110δ, respectively) interacts, individually, with the same regulatory subunit p85, whereas the catalytic subunit of PI3K γ (p110γ) interacts with a distinct regulatory subunit p101.
Studies have also showed that each PI3K isoform has distinct expression pattern. For example, PIK3CA which encodes PI3Kα is frequently mutated in human cancers (Engelman, Nat. Rev. Cancer, 9: 550-562, 2009). Also, PI3Kδ is generally expressed in hematopoietic cells. Moreover, PI3K isoforms are shown to be associated with proliferation or survival signaling in cancers, inflammatory, or autoimmune diseases. As each PI3K isoform has different biological function, PI3K isoforms are potential targets to treat cancer or other disorders (U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,800,620; 8,435,988; 8,673,906; US Patent Application Publication No. US2013/0274253).
Therefore, there is a need for developing therapeutic agents that inhibit PI3K isoforms to treat diseases, disorders, or conditions that are mediated by PI3K.
The present application provides novel compounds that are inhibitors of PI3K isoforms. The application also provides compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, kits that include the compounds, and methods of using and making the compounds.

“Pharmaceutically acceptable” or “physiologically acceptable” refer to compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms and other materials which are useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is suitable for veterinary or human pharmaceutical use. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” or “physiologically acceptable salts” refer to salts of pharmaceutical compounds that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the underlying compound, and which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. There are acid addition salts and base addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts may be prepared from inorganic and organic acids. Acids and bases useful for reaction with an underlying compound to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts (acid addition or base addition salts respectively) are known to one of skill in the art. Similarly, methods of preparing pharmaceutically acceptable salts from an underlying compound (upon disclosure) are known to one of skill in the art and are disclosed in for example, Berge, at al. Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, Jan. 1977 vol. 66, No. 1, and other sources. If the compounds described herein are obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Salts derived from organic acids include acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluene-sulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like.

Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as alkyl amines (i.e., NH2(alkyl)), dialkyl amines (i.e., HN(alkyl)2), trialkyl amines (i.e., N(alkyl)3), substituted alkyl amines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkyl)), di(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkyl)2), tri(substituted alkyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkyl)3), alkenyl amines (i.e., NH2(alkenyl)), dialkenyl amines (i.e., HN(alkenyl)2), trialkenyl amines (i.e., N(alkenyl)3), substituted alkenyl amines (i.e., NH2(substituted alkenyl)), di(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., HN(substituted alkenyl)2), tri(substituted alkenyl) amines (i.e., N(substituted alkenyl)3, mono-, di- or tri-cycloalkyl amines (i.e., NH2(cycloalkyl), HN(cycloalkyl)2, N(cycloalkyl)3), mono-, di- or tri-arylamines (i.e., NH2(aryl), HN(aryl)2, N(aryl)3), or mixed amines, etc. Specific examples of suitable amines include, by way of example only, isopropylamine, trimethyl amine, diethyl amine, tri(iso-propyl) amine, tri(n-propyl) amine, ethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, piperazine, piperidine, morpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, and the like.
“Isomers” refers to compounds that have the same molecular formula. As used herein, the term isomers include double bond isomers, racemates, stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, and atropisomers. Single isomers, such as enantiomers or diastereomers, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by resolution of a mixture of isomers. Resolution of a mixture of isomers (e.g. racemates) maybe accomplished, for example, by conventional methods such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent, or chromatography, using, for example a chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column. “Double bond isomers” refer to Z- and E-forms (or cis- and trans-forms) of the compounds with carbon-carbon double bonds.
“Atropisomers” refers to conformational stereoisomers which occur when rotation about a single bond in the molecule is prevented, or greatly hindered, as a result of steric interactions with other parts of the molecule and the substituents at both ends of the single bond are asymmetrical, i.e., they do not require a stereocenter. Where the rotational barrier about the single bond is high enough, and interconversion between conformations is slow enough, separation and isolation of the isomeric species may be permitted. Atropisomers may be separated by the methods well known in the art. Unless otherwise indicated, the description is intended to include individual atropisomers as well as mixtures. Also, as understood by those skilled in the art, the atropisomers may be represented by the same chemical name with different atropisomer designations. By way of example, the below structures are atropisomers of compound 5-11.
Compounds of the invention are named using Chembiodraw Ultra (version 14).
“Racemates” refers to a mixture of enantiomers.
“Stereoisomers” or “stereoisomeric forms” refer to compounds that differ in the chirality of one or more stereocenters. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers. The compounds may exist in stereoisomeric form if they possess one or more asymmetric centers or a double bond with asymmetric substitution and, therefore, can be produced as individual stereoisomers or as mixtures. Unless otherwise indicated, the description is intended to include individual stereoisomers as well as mixtures. The methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation of stereoisomers are well-known in the art (see, e.g., Chapter 4 of Advanced Organic Chemistry, 4th ed., J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1992).
“Tautomers” or “tautomeric forms” refer to alternate forms of a compound that differ in the position of a proton, such as enol-keto and imine-enamine tautomers, or heteroaryls such as pyrazoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles.
A “solvate” is formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Solvates of salts of the compounds of any of the formulae described herein are also provided. Hydrates of the compounds of any of the formulae are also provided.
A “prodrug” is defined in the pharmaceutical field as a biologically inactive derivative of a drug that upon administration to the human body is converted to the biologically active parent drug according to some chemical or enzymatic pathway. A prodrug is thus a covalently modified analog or latent form of a therapeutically active compound. Non-limiting examples of prodrugs include ester moieties, quaternary ammonium moieties, glycol moieties, and the like.
The application also provides a composition containing a mixture of enantiomers of the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In one embodiment, the mixture is a racemic mixture. In other embodiments, the composition comprises the (S)-enantiomer of a compound in excess of the corresponding (R)-enantiomer of the compound. In some embodiments, the composition contains the (S)-enantiomer of the compound and is substantially free of its corresponding (R)-enantiomer. In certain embodiments, a composition substantially free of the (R)-enantiomer has less than or about 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.05%, or 0.01% of the (R)-enantiomer. In other embodiments, the composition containing the (S)-enantiomer of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, predominates over its corresponding (R)-enantiomer by a molar ratio of at least or about 9:1, at least or about 19:1, at least or about 40:1, at least or about 80:1, at least or about 160:1, or at least or about 320:1.
The composition containing a compound according to any of the formulae described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also contain the compound in enantiomeric excess (e.e.). By way of example, a compound with 95% (S)-isomer and 5% (R)-isomer will have an e.e. of 90%. In some embodiments, the compound has an e.e. of at least or about 60%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or 99%.
In any one of the foregoing embodiments, the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is an atropisomer. Another embodiment provides the composition containing a mixture of atropisomers of the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. By way of example, a compound with 95% of one atropisomer and 5% of the other atropisomers. In some embodiments, a compound with about 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, or 10% of one atropisomer and 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90%, respectively, of the other atropisomers.

All such isomeric forms of these compounds are expressly included herein, the same as if each and every isomeric form were specifically and individually listed.
In certain embodiments, provided herein are also polymorphs, such as crystalline and amorphous forms, of the compounds described herein. In some embodiments, provided are also chelates, non-covalent complexes, and mixtures thereof, of the compounds of the formula described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, or solvates thereof. A “chelate” is formed by the coordination of a compound to a metal ion at two (or more) points. A “non-covalent complex” is formed by the interaction of a compound and another molecule wherein a covalent bond is not formed between the compound and the molecule. For example, complexation can occur through van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions (also called ionic bonding).
In certain embodiments, provided are also chelates, non-covalent complexes, and mixtures thereof, of the compounds described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, or deuterated analog thereof. A “chelate” is formed by the coordination of a compound to a metal ion at two (or more) points. A “non-covalent complex” is formed by the interaction of a compound and another molecule wherein a covalent bond is not formed between the compound and the molecule. For example, complexation can occur through van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions (also called ionic bonding).
Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist in equilibrium with imidic acid tautomers. Regardless of which tautomer is shown, and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers, the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to comprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amide containing compounds are understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers.
Any formula or structure given herein, is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as, but not limited to 2H (deuterium, D), 3H (tritium), 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18F, 31P, 32P, 35S, 36Cl and 125I. Various isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H, 13C and 14C are incorporated. Such isotopically labeled compounds may be useful in metabolic studies, reaction kinetic studies, detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays or in radioactive treatment of patients.
The disclosure also includes “deuterated analogs” of compounds of Formula I in which from 1 to n hydrogens attached to a carbon atom is/are replaced by deuterium, in which n is the number of hydrogens in the molecule. Such compounds exhibit increased resistance to metabolism and are thus useful for increasing the half-life of any compound of Formula I when administered to a mammal, particularly a human. See, for example, Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism,” Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogens have been replaced by deuterium.
Deuterium labeled or substituted therapeutic compounds of the disclosure may have improved DMPK (drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics) properties, relating to distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life, reduced dosage requirements and/or an improvement in therapeutic index. An 18F labeled compound may be useful for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically labeled compounds of this disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent in the compound of Formula I.
The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by an isotopic enrichment factor. In the compounds of this disclosure any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. Unless otherwise stated, when a position is designated specifically as “H” or “hydrogen”, the position is understood to have hydrogen at its natural abundance isotopic composition. Accordingly, in the compounds of this disclosure any atom specifically designated as a deuterium (D) is meant to represent deuterium.

In some embodiments, the methods include administering a compound of the formula described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer, prodrug, or solvate thereof, in a therapeutically effective amount to a human in need thereof. The method can be employed to treat a patient who has or is believed to have a disease or condition whose symptoms or pathology is mediated by expression or activity of PI3Kβ. The patient may be a mammal or a human In certain embodiment, the patient may be a human.
“Treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and/or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and/or c) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing the effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival.
“Prevention” or “preventing” mean any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. Compounds may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk or has a family history of the disease or condition.
“Subject” or “patient” refer to an animal, such as a mammal (including a human), that has been or will be the object of treatment, observation or experiment. The methods described herein may be useful in human therapy and/or veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the subject is a mammal. In one embodiment, the subject is a human “Human in need thereof” refers to a human who may have or is suspect to have diseases, or disorders, or conditions that would benefit from certain treatment; for example, being treated with the PI3K inhibitor of the compounds according to the present application. In certain embodiments, the subject may be a human who (i) has not received any treatment including chemotherapy treatment, (ii) is substantially refractory to at least one chemotherapy treatment, (iii) is in relapse after treatment with chemotherapy, or both (i) and (ii). In some of embodiments, the subject is refractory to at least one, at least two, at least three, or at least four chemotherapy treatments (including standard or experimental chemotherapies).
The terms “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” of a compound of the present application or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomers, prodrug, or solvate thereof, mean an amount sufficient to effect treatment when administered to a subject, to provide a therapeutic benefit such as amelioration of symptoms or slowing of disease progression. For example, a therapeutically effective amount may be an amount sufficient to decrease a symptom of a disease or condition responsive to inhibition of PI3Kβ and PI3Kβ activity. The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the subject, and disease or condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease or condition, and the manner of administering, which can readily be determined by one or ordinary skill in the art.
In addition to the therapeutic uses, the compounds described herein have the selectivity or selective inhibition to certain PI3K isoforms. In one embodiment, the compounds have selectivity to PI3Kβ. The selectivity to PI3K isoforms may be determined by measuring the compound's activity in inhibiting certain PI3K isoforms using the assay described in the example below or the methods commonly used. It is understood that the conditions (e.g. the reagent concentration or the incubation temperature) may be varied and the results of the assay may vary. In some instances, the value may vary within a range of one to three-fold.
The term “inhibition” indicates a decrease in the baseline activity of a biological activity or process. The term “inhibition of activity of PI3K isoforms” or variants thereof refer to a decrease in activity in any PI3K isoform (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma, or delta) as a direct or indirect response to the presence of a compound of any of the formula described herein relative to the activity of PI3K isoform in the absence of such compound. “Inhibition of PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ activities” or variants thereof refer to a decrease in PI3Kδ and/or PI3Kβ activities as a direct or indirect response to the presence of the compounds described herein, relative to the activities of PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ in the absence of such compound. In some embodiments, the inhibition of PI3K isoform activities may be compared in the same subject prior to treatment, or other subjects not receiving the treatment.
Without being bound to any theory, the decrease in the activity of PI3K may be due to the direct interaction of the compound with PI3K, or due to the interaction of the compounds described herein with one or more other factors that affect PI3K activity. For example, the presence of the compounds may decrease the activities of PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ by directly binding to PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ, by causing (directly or indirectly) another factor to decrease PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ activities, or by (directly or indirectly) decreasing the amount of PI3Kβ and/or PI3Kβ present in the cell or organism.
The term “PI3K inhibitor” or variant thereof refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of PI3K. The term “PI3K isoform selective inhibitor” or variant thereof refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of one or more PI3K isoforms more effectively than the other remaining PI3K isoforms. By way of example, the term “PI3Kβ selective inhibitor” generally refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of the PI3Kβ isoform more effectively than other isoforms of the PI3K family, and the term “PI3Kδ selective inhibitor” generally refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of the PI3Kδ isoform more effectively than other isoforms of the PI3K family. The term “dual PI3Kδ/β selective inhibitor” generally refers to a compound that inhibits the activity of both PI3Kβ and PI3Kβ isoforms more effectively than other isoforms of the PI3K family (e.g., PI3K α or γ).
The relative efficacies of compounds as inhibitors of an enzyme activity (or other biological activity) can be established by determining the concentrations at which each compound inhibits the activity to a predefined extent and then comparing the results. In one embodiment, the efficacy of a compound as an inhibitor of one or more PI3K isoforms can be measured by the compound concentration that inhibits 50% of the activity in a biochemical assay, i.e., the 50% inhibitory concentration or “IC50”. The determination of IC50 values can be accomplished using conventional techniques known in the art, including the techniques described in the Examples below. In general, an IC50 can be determined by measuring the activity of a given enzyme in the presence of a range of concentrations of the compound under the study. The experimentally obtained values of enzyme activity may then be plotted against the compound concentrations used. The concentration of the inhibitor that shows 50% enzyme activity (as compared to the activity in the absence of any inhibitor) is taken as the IC50 value. Analogously, other inhibitory concentrations can be defined through appropriate determinations of activity. For example, in some settings it may be desirable to establish a 90% inhibitory concentration, i.e., IC90.
According to the present application, a PI3Kβ selective inhibitor is a compound that exhibits a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) with respect to PI3Kβ that is at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 30-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 100-fold, at least 200-fold, or at least 500-fold lower than the IC50 with respect to either PI3Kα or PI3Kγ or both PI3Kγ and PI3Kγ. In addition, a PI3Kδ/β selective inhibitor is a compound that exhibits a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) with respect to PI3Kβ and PI3Kδ that is at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 30-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 75-fold, at least 100-fold, at least 200-fold, and at least 500-fold lower than the IC50 with respect to either PI3Kγ or PI3Kγ. The dual PI3Kδ/β selective inhibitor may have the same or similar IC50 to both PI3Kδ and PI3Kβ or may have different IC50 to either PI3Kδ or PI3Kβ. As used herein, the term “potency,” “potent,” or variants thereof refer to the compound exhibiting an IC50 value that is less than 100 nM. When comparing two compounds, the compound that exhibits a lower IC50 value is referred to as a more potent inhibitor.
The methods described herein may be applied to cell populations in vivo or ex vivo. “In vivo” means within a living individual, as within an animal or human In this context, the methods described herein may be used therapeutically in an individual. “Ex vivo” means outside of a living individual. Examples of ex vivo cell populations include in vitro cell cultures and biological samples including fluid or tissue samples obtained from individuals. Such samples may be obtained by methods well known in the art. Exemplary biological fluid samples include blood, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and saliva. Exemplary tissue samples include tumors and biopsies thereof. In this context, the compounds may be used for a variety of purposes, including therapeutic and experimental purposes. For example, it may be used ex vivo to determine the optimal schedule and/or dosing of administration of a PI3K selective inhibitor for a given indication, cell type, individual, and other parameters. Information gleaned from such use may be used for experimental purposes or in the clinic to set protocols for in vivo treatment. Other ex vivo uses for which the compound described herein may be suited are described below or will become apparent to those skilled in the art. The compounds of the formula described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof, may be further characterized to examine the safety or tolerance dosage in human or non-human subjects. Such properties may be examined using commonly known methods to those skilled in the art.
Compared to other PI3K isoforms, PI3Kβ is generally mis-regulated in certain cancer cells. Aberrant proliferation of cells often interferes with normal tissue function, which may result in abnormal cellular response such as immunity, inflammation, and/or apoptosis. The selective inhibitors to PI3Kβ are useful in treating, inhibiting, or preventing aberrant proliferation of cancerous and/or hematopoietic cells and ameliorating the symptoms and secondary conditions.
The compounds described herein may be used to treat subjects having various disease states, disorders, and conditions (also collectively referred to as “indications”) associated with PI3K isoforms or their activities. As used herein, the terms “diseases,” “disorders,” “conditions” are used interchangeably. Such indications may include, for example, cancer, including hematologic malignancies (e.g. leukemias and lymphomas, myeloproliferative disorders, myelodysplastic syndromes, plasma cell neoplasms) and solid tumors, inflammation, fibrosis, allergic conditions (including hypersensitivity), cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, renal disorders, viral infections, obesity, and autoimmune diseases.
In other embodiments, the compounds described herein may be used to treat cancers that are mediated by, dependent on, or associated with PI3K activity.

(1985); and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 3rd Ed. (G. S. Banker & C. T. Rhodes, Eds.).
The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered by various methods including, for example, rectal, buccal, intranasal and transdermal routes. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered by intra-arterial injection, intravenously, intraperitoneally, parenterally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, topically, or as an inhalant. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered orally.
One mode for administration is parenteral, for example, by injection. The forms in which the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be incorporated for administration by injection include, for example, aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
Oral administration may be another route for administration of the compounds described herein. Administration may be via, for example, capsule or enteric coated tablets. In making the pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one compound of any of the formulae described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof, the active ingredient is usually diluted by an excipient and/or enclosed within such a carrier that can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of tablets.
As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.
Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose.

The compositions that include at least one compound of any of the formulae described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, isomer, prodrug, or solvate thereof, can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the subject by employing procedures known in the art. Controlled release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolutional systems containing polymer-coated reservoirs or drug-polymer matrix formulations. Examples of controlled release systems are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770; 4,326,525; 4,902,514; and 5,616,345. Another formulation for use in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds described herein in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,023,252, 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of any of the above formulae or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, or solvate thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient may be dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
The tablets or pills of the compounds described herein may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action, or to protect from the acid conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablet or pill can include an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
Compositions for inhalation or insufflation may include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. In other embodiments, compositions in pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.
The specific dose level of a compound of the formulae described herein for any particular subject will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular disease in the subject undergoing therapy. For example, a dosage may be expressed as a number of milligrams of a compound of the formula per kilogram of the subject's body weight (mg/kg). Dosages of between about 0.01 and 200 mg/kg may be appropriate. In some embodiments, about 0.01 and 150 mg/kg may be appropriate. In other embodiments a dosage of between 0.05 and 100 mg/kg may be appropriate. Normalizing according to the subject's body weight is particularly useful when adjusting dosages between subjects of widely disparate size, such as occurs when using the drug in both children and adult humans or when converting an effective dosage in a non-human subject such as dog to a dosage suitable for a human subject.
The daily dosage may also be described as a total amount of a compound of the formulae administered per dose or per day. Daily dosage of a compound may be between about 1 mg and 2,000 mg, between about 1,000 to 2,000 mg/day, between about 1 to 1,000 mg/day, between about 1 to 500 mg/day, between about 100 to 150 mg/day, between about 1 to 100 mg/day, between about between about 1 to 50 mg/day, between about 50 to 100 mg/day, between about 100 to 125 mg/day, between about 100 to 150 mg/day, between about 100 to 175 mg/day, between about 100 to 200 mg/day, between about 100 to 225 mg/day, between about 100 to 250 mg/day, between about 100 to 350 mg/day, between about 100 to 400 mg/day, between about 100 to 450 mg/day, or between about 100 to 500 mg/day.

The compounds of formula (I) were characterized for their enzymatic activity against the PI3K isoforms. The activities were measured using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay. TR-FRET monitored the formation of 3,4,5-inositol triphosphate molecule that competed with fluorescently labeled PIPS for binding to the GRP-1 pleckstrin homology domain protein. An increase in phosphatidylinositide 3-phosphate product resulted in a decrease in TR-FRET signal as the labeled fluorophore was displaced from the GRP-1 protein binding site.
Class I PI3K isoforms were expressed and purified as heterodimeric recombinant proteins. All assay reagents and buffers for the TR-FRET assay were purchased from Millipore. PI3K isoforms were assayed under initial rate conditions in the presence of 25 mM Hepes (pH 7.4), and 2×Km ATP (75-500 μM), 2 μM PIP2, 5% glycerol, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% (v/v) Chaps, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 1% (v/v) DMSO at the following concentrations for each isoform: PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, and PI3Kδ between 25 and 50 pM, and PI3Kγ at 2 nM. The compounds were added to the assay solution and incubated for 30 minutes at 25° C. The reactions were terminated with a final concentration of 10 mM EDTA, 10 nM labeled-PIPS, and 35 nM Europium labeled GRP-1 detector protein before reading TR-FRET on an Envision plate reader (Ex: 340 nm; Em: 615/665 nm; 100 μs delay and 500 μs read window).
The results were normalized based on positive (1 μM wortmanin) and negative (DMSO) controls, and the IC50 values for PI3K α, β, δ, and γ were calculated from the fit of the dose-response curves to a four-parameter equation. These assays generally produced results within 3-fold of the reported mean.
From the foregoing it will be appreciated that, although specific embodiments have been described herein for purposes of illustration, various modifications may be made without deviating from the spirit and scope of the present application.
