Description
FIELD

Described herein are compounds, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and medicaments containing such compounds, and methods of using such compounds and compositions to inhibit the activity of FLT3.


BACKGROUND

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed on normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Upon its activation by the FLT3 ligand (FL), FLT3 dimerizes and induces many signaling pathways related to hematopoietic cell survival and proliferation.


FLT3 is also often overexpressed in many acute leukemia cells, and mutation of the FLT3 gene is the most frequent generic alteration in acute myeloid leukemia. Activating mutations of the FLT3 gene account for approximately one-third of newly diagnosed AML adult patients (Papaemmanuil et al., 2016, N Engl J Med. 374: 2209) where these mutations cause constitutive FLT3 signaling cascade. Genetic alterations of FLT3 have also been identified in other myeloid malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Activating FLT3 mutations are either internal tandem duplicates (ITD), or point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain or sometimes combination of both. FLT3-ITD mutations are present in approximately 20% of AML patients, and point mutations are present in approximately 5%-10% of AML patients. Both mutations can constitutively activate FLT3 through ligand-independent autophosphorylation causing increased signaling and cellular proliferation, leading to survival of the leukemia cells (Kennedy et al., 2020, Front. Oncol. 10:612880; Kiyoi et al., 2020, Cancer Science 111:312). FLT3-ITD mutations are especially associated with a poor prognosis and high rate of relapse, and ITD mutations can be gained or lost during disease progression and/or relapse. For that reason, testing for FLT3-ITD in patients with AML is recommended by both the European Leukemia Net and Cancer Network Guidelines.


Early studied FLT3 inhibitors, referred to as first-generation FLT3 inhibitors, included multi-kinase inhibitors sorafenib, midostaurin, lestaurtinib, sunitinib, and tandutinib. These first-generation inhibitors lacked efficacy as a monotherapy, most likely due in part to their non-specific effects. While many of these first-generation inhibitors have been abandoned as therapeutic agents for AML as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy, midostaurin (Rydapt) in combination with chemotherapy received FDA approval in 2017 for the adults with newly diagnosed FTL3-mutated AML.


Second-generation FLT3 inhibitors have greater specificity for FLT3 and are more potent. Second generation inhibitors include gilteritinib, crenolanib, and quizartinib. Gilteritinib and crenolanib are both Type I inhibitors, meaning that they can bind to both the inactive and active conformations of FLT3, while quizartinib is a Type II inhibitor that can only bind to the inactive conformation. In 2018, the FDA approved gilteritinib for relapsed or refractory AML with patients with FLT3 mutation. In a Phase III trial studying the effect of quizartinib in combination with induction or consolidation chemotherapy (QuANTUM-R) in patients with relapsed or refractory FLT3-ITD AML, quizartinib exhibited a survival benefit and a manageable safety profile (Cortes et al., 2019, Lancet Oncol., 20: 984). Currently, crenolanib is being studied in a Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed or refractory AML in patients with an FLT3 mutation.


An additional inhibitor of FLT3 includes the covalently binding FLT3 inhibitor FF-10101, which has demonstrated activity against quizartinib-resistant AML (Yamaura et al., 2018, Blood, 131: 426) and is currently being studied in clinical trials for relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies, including AML. FF-10101 and other N-phenylpyrimidine-2-amine compounds are described in PCT Application WO 2013/157540 and U.S. Pat. No. 9,145,415 assigned to Fujifilm Corporation. PCT Application WO 2015/056683 and U.S. Pat. No. 9,701,644, also assigned to Fujifilm Corporation, describe crystalline forms of FF-10101. Additional patents and patent applications assigned to Fujifilm Corporation that describe FF-10101 and the use of FF-10101 for certain types of cancer include PCT Applications WO 2016/027904; WO 2020/075838; WO 2020/175629; and U.S. Pat. No. 9,987,278.


Hanmi Pharmaceutical. Co., Ltd describe pyrimidine-containing compounds and the use of these compounds in FLT3-mutated cancers in PCT Applications WO 2020/022600; WO 2020/171646; WO 2020/171649; and WO 2020/262974. The pyrimidine-containing FLT3 inhibitor HM43239 is currently being studied in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for patients with relapsed or refractory resistant AML (Daver et al. 2019, Blood, 134: 1331).


Genosco and Oscotec, Inc. describe pyridopyrimidine compounds and their use in the treatment of hematological malignancies in PCT Application WO 2013/142382 and U.S. Pat. No. 8,877,763. Crystal forms of the specific FLT3 inhibitor G-749 are described in WO 2020/040467 assigned to Oscotec, Inc. and oral pharmaceutical compositions of G-749 are described in WO 2020/159117 also assigned to Oscotec, Inc.


Biochemically, these inhibitors are reported to block auto-phosphorylation of FLT3 at TYR-589/591 and downstream signaling mediators signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STATS) and extracellular-signal related kinase (ERK) (Wang et al., 2021, J. Med. Chem. 64(8):4870-4890. Resistance to FLT3 inhibitors has been reported in the clinic through secondary mutations in FLT3 including mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain in prior ITD-only mutant tumors (Heidel et al., 2006, Blood 107(1):293-300, Smith et al., 2012, Nature 485(7397):260-263).


Despite research in this area, there is still a need to deliver effective compounds for the inhibition of FLT3. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide inhibitors of FLT3, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and methods for the inhibition of FLT3. Also of key importance is to develop inhibitors that will overcome the known resistance mechanisms of co-mutations of ITD that re-awaken the autophosphorylation capabilities of FLT3.

A “metabolite” of a compound disclosed herein is a derivative of that compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. The term “active metabolite” refers to a biologically active derivative of a compound that is formed when the compound is metabolized. The term “metabolized,” as used herein, refers to the sum of the processes (including, but not limited to, hydrolysis reactions and reactions catalyzed by enzymes, such as, oxidation reactions) by which a particular substance is changed by an organism. Thus, enzymes may produce specific structural alterations to a compound. For example, cytochrome P450 catalyzes a variety of oxidative and reductive reactions while uridine diphosphate glucuronyl transferases catalyze the transfer of an activated glucuronic-acid molecule to aromatic alcohols, aliphatic alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines and free sulfhydryl groups. Further information on metabolism may be obtained from The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th Edition, McGraw-Hill (1996). Metabolites of the compounds disclosed herein can be identified either by administration of compounds to a host and analysis of tissue samples from the host, or by incubation of compounds with hepatic cells in vitro and analysis of the resulting compounds. Both methods are well known in the art. In some embodiments, metabolites of a compound are formed by oxidative processes and correspond to the corresponding hydroxy-containing compound. In some embodiments, a compound is metabolized to pharmacologically active metabolites.

For example, a modulator can cause an increase or decrease in the magnitude of a certain activity of a molecule compared to the magnitude of the activity in the absence of the modulator. In certain embodiments, a modulator is an inhibitor, which decreases the magnitude of one or more activities of a molecule. In certain embodiments, an inhibitor completely prevents one or more activities of a molecule. In certain embodiments, a modulator is an activator, which increases the magnitude of at least one activity of a molecule. In certain embodiments the presence of a modulator results in an activity that does not occur in the absence of the modulator.


The term “covalent inhibitor,” as used herein, refers to a compound that, upon contact with a target protein (e.g., FLT3) causes the formation of a new covalent bond with or within the protein, whereby one or more of the target protein's biological activities (e.g., phosphotransferase activity) is diminished or abolished notwithstanding the subsequent presence or absence of the covalent inhibitor. In contrast, a non-covalent inhibitor compound upon contact with a target protein does not cause the formation of a new covalent bond with or within the protein and therefore can associate and dissociate from the target protein. In certain embodiments, covalent inhibitors are irreversible. In certain embodiments, non-covalent inhibitors are reversible.


The term “covalent inhibitor of FLT3 protein-protein interaction” as used herein, refers to an inhibitor of FLT3 that can form a covalent bond with an amino acid residue of FLT3.

As used herein, the term “selective modulator” refers to a compound that selectively modulates a target activity relative to a non-target activity. In certain embodiments, specific modulator refers to modulating a target activity at least 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 times more than a non-target activity.


The term “substantially purified,” as used herein, refers to a component of interest that may be substantially or essentially free of other components which normally accompany or interact with the component of interest prior to purification. By way of example only, a component of interest may be “substantially purified” when the preparation of the component of interest contains less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 4%, less than about 3%, less than about 2%, or less than about 1% (by dry weight) of contaminating components.

4. Further Forms of Compounds

Compounds disclosed herein have a structure of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd). It is understood that when reference is made to compounds described herein, it is meant to include compounds of any of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) as well as to all of the specific compounds that fall within the scope of these generic formulae, unless otherwise indicated.


Compounds described herein may possess one or more stereocenters and each center may exist in the R or S configuration. Compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Stereoisomers may be obtained, if desired, by methods known in the art as, for example, the separation of stereoisomers by chiral chromatographic columns.


Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods known, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. In some embodiments, enantiomers can be separated by chiral chromatographic columns. In some embodiments, enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., alcohol), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. All such isomers, including diastereomers, enantiomers, and mixtures thereof are considered as part of the compositions described herein.


Methods and formulations described herein include the use of N-oxides, crystalline forms (also known as polymorphs), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds described herein, as well as active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity. In some situations, compounds may exist as tautomers. All tautomers are included within the scope of the compounds presented herein. In addition, compounds described herein can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. Solvated forms of compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.


Compounds of any of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) in unoxidized form can be prepared from N-oxides of compounds of any of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) by treating with a reducing agent, such as, but not limited to, sulfur, sulfur dioxide, triphenyl phosphine, lithium borohydride, sodium borohydride, phosphorus trichloride, tribromide, or the like in a suitable inert organic solvent, such as, but not limited to, acetonitrile, ethanol, aqueous dioxane, or the like at 0 to 80° C.


In some embodiments, compounds described herein are prepared as prodrugs. A “prodrug” refers to an agent that is converted into the parent drug in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. An example, without limitation, of a prodrug would be a compound described herein, which is administered as an ester (the “prodrug”) to facilitate transmittal across a cell membrane where water solubility is detrimental to mobility but which then is metabolically hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid, the active entity, once inside the cell where water-solubility is beneficial. A further example of a prodrug might be a short peptide (polyaminoacid) bonded to an acid group where the peptide is metabolized to reveal the active moiety. In certain embodiments, upon in vivo administration, a prodrug is chemically converted to the biologically, pharmaceutically, or therapeutically active form of the compound. In certain embodiments, a prodrug is enzymatically metabolized by one or more steps or processes to the biologically, pharmaceutically, or therapeutically active form of the compound. To produce a prodrug, a pharmaceutically active compound is modified such that the active compound will be regenerated upon in vivo administration. The prodrug can be designed to alter the metabolic stability or the transport characteristics of a drug, to mask side effects or toxicity, to improve the flavor of a drug or to alter other characteristics or properties of a drug. By virtue of knowledge of pharmacodynamic processes and drug metabolism in vivo, those of skill in this art, once a pharmaceutically active compound is known, can design prodrugs of the compound. (see, for example, Nogrady (1985) Medicinal Chemistry A Biochemical Approach, Oxford University Press, New York, pages 388-392; Silverman (1992), The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, pages 352-401, Saulnier et al., (1994), Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Vol. 4, p. 1985).


Prodrug forms of the herein described compounds, wherein the prodrug is metabolized in vivo to produce a derivative as set forth herein are included within the scope of the claims. In some cases, some of the herein-described compounds may be a prodrug for another derivative or active compound.


Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent drug. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent is not. The prodrug may also have improved solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent drug. Prodrugs may be designed as reversible drug derivatives, for use as modifiers to enhance drug transport to site-specific tissues. In some embodiments, the design of a prodrug increases the effective water solubility. See, e.g., Fedorak et al., Am. J. Physiol., 269:G210-218 (1995); McLeod et al., Gastroenterol, 106:405-413 (1994); Hochhaus et al., Biomed. Chrom., 6:283-286 (1992); J. Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Int. J. Pharmaceutics, 37, 87 (1987); J. Larsen et al., Int. J. Pharmaceutics, 47, 103 (1988); Sinkula et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 64:181-210 (1975); T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series; and Edward B. Roche, Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, all incorporated herein in their entirety.


Sites on the aromatic ring portion of compounds of any of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) can be susceptible to various metabolic reactions, therefore incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures, such as, by way of example only, halogens can reduce, minimize or eliminate this metabolic pathway.


Compounds described herein include isotopically-labeled compounds, which are identical to those recited in the various formulas and structures presented herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the present compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, respectively. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds described herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as 3H and 14C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Further, substitution with isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements.


In additional or some embodiments, the compounds described herein are metabolized upon administration to an organism in need to produce a metabolite that is then used to produce a desired effect, including a desired therapeutic effect.

In some embodiments, the microencapsulating material useful for delaying the release of the pharmaceutical compositions is from the USP or the National Formulary (NF). In some embodiments, the microencapsulation material is Klucel. In some embodiments, the microencapsulation material is methocel.


Microencapsulated compounds of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) may be formulated by methods known by one of ordinary skill in the art. Such known methods include, e.g., spray drying processes, spinning disk-solvent processes, hot melt processes, spray chilling methods, fluidized bed, electrostatic deposition, centrifugal extrusion, rotational suspension separation, polymerization at liquid-gas or solid-gas interface, pressure extrusion, or spraying solvent extraction bath. In addition to these, several chemical techniques, e.g., complex coacervation, solvent evaporation, polymer-polymer incompatibility, interfacial polymerization in liquid media, in situ polymerization, in-liquid drying, and desolvation in liquid media could also be used. Furthermore, other methods such as roller compaction, extrusion/spheronization, coacervation, or nanoparticle coating may also be used.


In some embodiments, the particles of compounds of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) are microencapsulated prior to being formulated into one of the above forms. In still some embodiments, some or most of the particles are coated prior to being further formulated by using standard coating procedures, such as those described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 20th Edition (2000).


In some embodiments, the solid dosage formulations of the compounds of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) are plasticized (coated) with one or more layers. Illustratively, a plasticizer is generally a high boiling point solid or liquid. Suitable plasticizers can be added from about 0.01% to about 50% by weight (w/w) of the coating composition. Plasticizers include, but are not limited to, diethyl phthalate, citrate esters, polyethylene glycol, glycerol, acetylated glycerides, triacetin, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, triethyl citrate, dibutyl sebacate, stearic acid, stearoyl, stearate, and castor oil.


In some embodiments, a powder including the formulations with a compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) described herein, may be formulated to include one or more pharmaceutical excipients and flavors. Such a powder may be prepared, for example, by mixing the formulation and optional pharmaceutical excipients to form a bulk blend composition. Additional embodiments also include a suspending agent and/or a wetting agent. This bulk blend is uniformly subdivided into unit dosage packaging or multi-dosage packaging units.


In still some embodiments, effervescent powders are also prepared in accordance with the present disclosure. Effervescent salts have been used to disperse medicines in water for oral administration. Effervescent salts are granules or coarse powders containing a medicinal agent in a dry mixture, usually composed of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and/or tartaric acid. When salts of the compositions described herein are added to water, the acids and the base react to liberate carbon dioxide gas, thereby causing “effervescence.” Examples of effervescent salts include, e.g., the following ingredients: sodium bicarbonate or a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, citric acid and/or tartaric acid. Any acid-base combination that results in the liberation of carbon dioxide can be used in place of the combination of sodium bicarbonate and citric and tartaric acids, as long as the ingredients were suitable for pharmaceutical use and result in a pH of about 6.0 or higher.


In some embodiments, the formulations described herein, which include a compound of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd) are solid dispersions. Methods of producing such solid dispersions are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,343,789, 5,340,591, 5,456,923, 5,700,485, 5,723,269, and U.S. Pub. Appl 2004/0013734, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference. In some embodiments, the formulations described herein are solid solutions. Solid solutions incorporate a substance together with the active agent and other excipients such that heating the mixture results in dissolution of the drug and the resulting composition is then cooled to provide a solid blend which can be further formulated or directly added to a capsule or compressed into a tablet. Methods of producing such solid solutions are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,151,273, 5,281,420, and 6,083,518, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference.


The pharmaceutical solid oral dosage forms including formulations described herein, which include a compound of any one of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), and Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), can be further formulated to provide a controlled release of the compound of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd). Controlled release refers to the release of the compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) from a dosage form in which it is incorporated according to a desired profile over an extended period of time. Controlled release profiles include, for example, sustained release, prolonged release, pulsatile release, and delayed release profiles. In contrast to immediate release compositions, controlled release compositions allow delivery of an agent to a subject over an extended period of time according to a predetermined profile. Such release rates can provide therapeutically effective levels of agent for an extended period of time and thereby provide a longer period of pharmacologic response while minimizing side effects as compared to conventional rapid release dosage forms. Such longer periods of response provide for many inherent benefits that are not achieved with the corresponding short acting, immediate release preparations.


In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms described herein can be formulated as enteric coated delayed release oral dosage forms, i.e., as an oral dosage form of a pharmaceutical composition as described herein which utilizes an enteric coating to affect release in the small intestine of the gastrointestinal tract. The enteric coated dosage form may be a compressed or molded or extruded tablet/mold (coated or uncoated) containing granules, powder, pellets, beads or particles of the active ingredient and/or other composition components, which are themselves coated or uncoated. The enteric coated oral dosage form may also be a capsule (coated or uncoated) containing pellets, beads or granules of the solid carrier or the composition, which are themselves coated or uncoated.


The term “delayed release” as used herein refers to the delivery so that the release can be accomplished at some generally predictable location in the intestinal tract more distal to that which would have been accomplished if there had been no delayed release alterations. In some embodiments the method for delay of release is coating. Any coatings should be applied to a sufficient thickness such that the entire coating does not dissolve in the gastrointestinal fluids at pH below about 5, but does dissolve at pH about 5 and above. It is expected that any anionic polymer exhibiting a pH-dependent solubility profile can be used as an enteric coating in the methods and compositions described herein to achieve delivery to the lower gastrointestinal tract. In some embodiments the polymers described herein are anionic carboxylic polymers. In some embodiments, the polymers and compatible mixtures thereof, and some of their properties, include, but are not limited to:

    • Shellac, also called purified lac, a refined product obtained from the resinous secretion of an insect. This coating dissolves in media of pH >7;
    • Acrylic polymers. The performance of acrylic polymers (primarily their solubility in biological fluids) can vary based on the degree and type of substitution. Examples of suitable acrylic polymers include methacrylic acid copolymers and ammonium methacrylate copolymers. The Eudragit series E, L, S, RL, RS, and NE (Rohm Pharma) are available as solubilized in organic solvent, aqueous dispersion, or dry powders. The Eudragit series RL, NE, and RS are insoluble in the gastrointestinal tract but are permeable and are used primarily for colonic targeting. The Eudragit series E dissolve in the stomach. The Eudragit series L, L-30D and S are insoluble in stomach and dissolve in the intestine;
    • Cellulose Derivatives. Examples of suitable cellulose derivatives are: ethyl cellulose; reaction mixtures of partial acetate esters of cellulose with phthalic anhydride. The performance can vary based on the degree and type of substitution. Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) dissolves in pH >6. Aquateric (FMC) is an aqueous based system and is a spray dried CAP psuedolatex with particles <1 μm. Other components in Aquateric can include pluronics, Tweens, and acetylated monoglycerides. Other suitable cellulose derivatives include: cellulose acetate trimellitate (Eastman); methylcellulose (Pharmacoat, Methocel); hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate (HPMCP); hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose succinate (HPMCS); and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate (e.g., AQOAT (Shin Etsu)). The performance can vary based on the degree and type of substitution. For example, HPMCP such as, HP-50, HP-55, HP-55S, HP-55F grades are suitable. The performance can vary based on the degree and type of substitution. For example, suitable grades of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate include, but are not limited to, AS-LG (LF), which dissolves at pH 5, AS-MG (MF), which dissolves at pH 5.5, and AS-HG (HF), which dissolves at higher pH. These polymers are offered as granules, or as fine powders for aqueous dispersions.


Poly Vinyl Acetate Phthalate (PVAP). PVAP dissolves in pH >5, and it is much less permeable to water vapor and gastric fluids.


In some embodiments, the coating can, and usually does, contain a plasticizer and possibly other coating excipients such as colorants, talc, and/or magnesium stearate, which are well known in the art. Suitable plasticizers include triethyl citrate (Citroflex 2), triacetin (glyceryl triacetate), acetyl triethyl citrate (Citroflec A2), Carbowax 400 (polyethylene glycol 400), diethyl phthalate, tributyl citrate, acetylated monoglycerides, glycerol, fatty acid esters, propylene glycol, and dibutyl phthalate. In particular, anionic carboxylic acrylic polymers usually will contain 10-25% by weight of a plasticizer, especially dibutyl phthalate, polyethylene glycol, triethyl citrate, and triacetin. Conventional coating techniques such as spray or pan coating are employed to apply coatings. The coating thickness must be sufficient to ensure that the oral dosage form remains intact until the desired site of topical delivery in the intestinal tract is reached.


Colorants, detackifiers, surfactants, antifoaming agents, lubricants (e.g., carnuba wax or PEG) may be added to the coatings besides plasticizers to solubilize or disperse the coating material, and to improve coating performance and the coated product.


In some embodiments, the formulations described herein, which include a compound of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd) are delivered using a pulsatile dosage form. A pulsatile dosage form is capable of providing one or more immediate release pulses at predetermined time points after a controlled lag time or at specific sites. Pulsatile dosage forms including the formulations described herein, which include a compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) may be administered using a variety of pulsatile formulations known in the art. For example, such formulations include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,011,692, 5,017,381, 5,229,135, and 5,840,329, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference. Other pulsatile release dosage forms suitable for use with the present formulations include, but are not limited to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,871,549, 5,260,068, 5,260,069, 5,508,040, 5,567,441 and 5,837,284, all of which are specifically incorporated by reference. In some embodiments, the controlled release dosage form is pulsatile release solid oral dosage form including at least two groups of particles, (i.e. multiparticulate) each containing the formulation described herein. The first group of particles provides a substantially immediate dose of the compound of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd) upon ingestion by a mammal. The first group of particles can be either uncoated or include a coating and/or sealant. The second group of particles includes coated particles, which includes from about 2% to about 75%, from about 2.5% to about 70%, or from about 40% to about 70%, by weight of the total dose of the compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) in said formulation, in admixture with one or more binders. The coating includes a pharmaceutically acceptable ingredient in an amount sufficient to provide a delay of from about 2 hours to about 7 hours following ingestion before release of the second dose. Suitable coatings include one or more differentially degradable coatings such as, by way of example only, pH sensitive coatings (enteric coatings) such as acrylic resins (e.g., Eudragit® EPO, Eudragit® L30D-55, Eudragit® FS 30D Eudragit® L100-55, Eudragit® L100, Eudragit® S100, Eudragit® RD100, Eudragit® E100, Eudragit® L12.5, Eudragit® S12.5, and Eudragit® NE30D, Eudragit® NE 40D®) either alone or blended with cellulose derivatives, e.g., ethylcellulose, or non-enteric coatings having variable thickness to provide differential release of the formulation that includes a compound of any one of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), and Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd).

The formulations may be a powder and/or granules for suspension, and upon admixture with water, a substantially uniform suspension is obtained.


Liquid formulation dosage forms for oral administration can be aqueous suspensions selected from the group including, but not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous oral dispersions, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, gels, and syrups. See, e.g., Singh et al., Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, 2nd Ed., pp. 754-757 (2002).

In some embodiments, an aqueous suspension can be re-suspended into a homogenous suspension by physical agitation lasting less than 1 minute. In some embodiments, an aqueous suspension can be re-suspended into a homogenous suspension by physical agitation lasting less than 45 seconds. In yet some embodiments, an aqueous suspension can be re-suspended into a homogenous suspension by physical agitation lasting less than 30 seconds. In still some embodiments, no agitation is necessary to maintain a homogeneous aqueous dispersion.

In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS). Emulsions are dispersions of one immiscible phase in another, usually in the form of droplets. Generally, emulsions are created by vigorous mechanical dispersion. SEDDS, as opposed to emulsions or microemulsions, spontaneously form emulsions when added to an excess of water without any external mechanical dispersion or agitation. An advantage of SEDDS is that only gentle mixing is required to distribute the droplets throughout the solution. Additionally, water or the aqueous phase can be added just prior to administration, which ensures stability of an unstable or hydrophobic active ingredient. Thus, the SEDDS provides an effective delivery system for oral and parenteral delivery of hydrophobic active ingredients. SEDDS may provide improvements in the bioavailability of hydrophobic active ingredients. Methods of producing self-emulsifying dosage forms are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,858,401, 6,667,048, and 6,960,563, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference.


It is to be appreciated that there is overlap between the above-listed additives used in the aqueous dispersions or suspensions described herein, since a given additive is often classified differently by different practitioners in the field, or is commonly used for any of several different functions. Thus, the above-listed additives should be taken as merely exemplary, and not limiting, of the types of additives that can be included in formulations described herein. The amounts of such additives can be readily determined by one skilled in the art, according to the particular properties desired.


5.2 Intranasal Formulations


Intranasal formulations are known in the art and are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,476,116, 5,116,817, and 6,391,452, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference. Formulations that include a compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) which are prepared according to these and other techniques well-known in the art are prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, fluorocarbons, and/or other solubilizing or dispersing agents known in the art. See, for example, Ansel, H. C. et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Sixth Ed. (1995). Preferably these compositions and formulations are prepared with suitable nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients. These ingredients are known to those skilled in the preparation of nasal dosage forms and some of these can be found in REMINGTON: THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF PHARMACY, 21st edition, 2005, a standard reference in the field. The choice of suitable carriers is highly dependent upon the exact nature of the nasal dosage form desired, e.g., solutions, suspensions, ointments, or gels. Nasal dosage forms generally contain large amounts of water in addition to the active ingredient. Minor amounts of other ingredients such as pH adjusters, emulsifiers or dispersing agents, preservatives, surfactants, gelling agents, or buffering and other stabilizing and solubilizing agents may also be present. The nasal dosage form should be isotonic with nasal secretions.


For administration by inhalation, the compounds of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) described herein may be in a form as an aerosol, a mist or a powder. Pharmaceutical compositions described herein are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray presentation from pressurized packs or a nebuliser, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, such as, by way of example only, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound described herein and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch.


5.3 Buccal Formulations


Buccal formulations that include compounds of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) may be administered using a variety of formulations known in the art. For example, such formulations include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,229,447, 4,596,795, 4,755,386, and 5,739,136, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference. In addition, the buccal dosage forms described herein can further include a bioerodible (hydrolysable) polymeric carrier that also serves to adhere the dosage form to the buccal mucosa. The buccal dosage form is fabricated so as to erode gradually over a predetermined time period, wherein the delivery of the compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) is provided essentially throughout. Buccal drug delivery, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, avoids the disadvantages encountered with oral drug administration, e.g., slow absorption, degradation of the active agent by fluids present in the gastrointestinal tract and/or first-pass inactivation in the liver. With regard to the bioerodible (hydrolysable) polymeric carrier, it will be appreciated that virtually any such carrier can be used, so long as the desired drug release profile is not compromised, and the carrier is compatible with the compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) and any other components that may be present in the buccal dosage unit. Generally, the polymeric carrier comprises hydrophilic (water-soluble and water-swellable) polymers that adhere to the wet surface of the buccal mucosa. Examples of polymeric carriers useful herein include acrylic acid polymers and co, e.g., those known as “carbomers” (Carbopol®, which may be obtained from B.F. Goodrich, is one such polymer). Other components may also be incorporated into the buccal dosage forms described herein include, but are not limited to, disintegrants, diluents, binders, lubricants, flavoring, colorants, preservatives, and the like. For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, or gels formulated in a conventional manner.


5.4 Transdermal Formulations


Transdermal formulations described herein may be administered using a variety of devices which have been described in the art. For example, such devices include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,598,122, 3,598,123, 3,710,795, 3,731,683, 3,742,951, 3,814,097, 3,921,636, 3,972,995, 3,993,072, 3,993,073, 3,996,934, 4,031,894, 4,060,084, 4,069,307, 4,077,407, 4,201,211, 4,230,105, 4,292,299, 4,292,303, 5,336,168, 5,665,378, 5,837,280, 5,869,090, 6,923,983, 6,929,801 and 6,946,144, each of which is specifically incorporated by reference in its entirety.


The transdermal dosage forms described herein may incorporate certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are conventional in the art. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations described herein include at least three components: (1) a formulation of a compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) (2) a penetration enhancer; and (3) an aqueous adjuvant. In addition, transdermal formulations can include additional components such as, but not limited to, gelling agents, creams and ointment bases, and the like. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulation can further include a woven or non-woven backing material to enhance absorption and prevent the removal of the transdermal formulation from the skin. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations described herein can maintain a saturated or supersaturated state to promote diffusion into the skin.


Formulations suitable for transdermal administration of compounds described herein may employ transdermal delivery devices and transdermal delivery patches and can be lipophilic emulsions or buffered, aqueous solutions, dissolved and/or dispersed in a polymer or an adhesive. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Still further, transdermal delivery of the compounds described herein can be accomplished by means of iontophoretic patches and the like. Additionally, transdermal patches can provide controlled delivery of the compounds of any one of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), and Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd). The rate of absorption can be slowed by using rate-controlling membranes or by trapping the compound within a polymer matrix or gel. Conversely, absorption enhancers can be used to increase absorption. An absorption enhancer or carrier can include absorbable pharmaceutically acceptable solvents to assist passage through the skin. For example, transdermal devices are in the form of a bandage comprising a backing member, a reservoir containing the compound optionally with carriers, optionally a rate controlling barrier to deliver the compound to the skin of the host at a controlled and predetermined rate over a prolonged period of time, and means to secure the device to the skin.


5.5 Injectable Formulations


Formulations that include a compound of any one of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection may include physiologically acceptable sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles including water, ethanol, polyols (propyleneglycol, polyethylene-glycol, glycerol, cremophor and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. Formulations suitable for subcutaneous injection may also contain additives such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispensing agents. Prevention of the growth of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.


For intravenous injections, compounds described herein may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. For other parenteral injections, appropriate formulations may include aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, preferably with physiologically compatible buffers or excipients. Such excipients are generally known in the art.


Parenteral injections may involve bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be in a form suitable for parenteral injection as a sterile suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen-free water, before use.


6. Formulations

In certain embodiments, delivery systems for pharmaceutical compounds may be employed, such as, for example, liposomes and emulsions. In certain embodiments, compositions provided herein can also include an mucoadhesive polymer, selected from among, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, carbomer (acrylic acid polymer), poly(methylmethacrylate), polyacrylamide, polycarbophil, acrylic acid/butyl acrylate copolymer, sodium alginate and dextran.


In some embodiments, the compounds described herein may be administered topically and can be formulated into a variety of topically administrable compositions, such as solutions, suspensions, lotions, gels, pastes, medicated sticks, balms, creams, or ointments. Such pharmaceutical compounds can contain solubilizers, stabilizers, tonicity enhancing agents, buffers, and preservatives.


The compounds described herein may also be formulated in rectal compositions such as enemas, rectal gels, rectal foams, rectal aerosols, suppositories, jelly suppositories, or retention enemas, containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides, as well as synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, PEG, and the like. In suppository forms of the compositions, a low-melting wax such as, but not limited to, a mixture of fatty acid glycerides, optionally in combination with cocoa butter is first melted.


7. Examples of Methods of Dosing and Treatment Regimens

The compounds described herein can be used in the preparation of medicaments for the inhibition of FLT3 or a homolog thereof, or for the treatment of diseases or conditions that would benefit, at least in part, from inhibition of FLT3 or a homolog thereof. In addition, a method for treating any of the diseases or conditions described herein in a subject in need of such treatment, involves administration of pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one compound of any of Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd), and Formula (P6-I)-(P6-IIId) described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pharmaceutically acceptable N-oxide, pharmaceutically active metabolite, pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug, or pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, in therapeutically effective amounts to said subject.


The compositions containing the compound(s) described herein can be administered for prophylactic and/or therapeutic treatments. In therapeutic applications, the compositions are administered to a patient already suffering from a disease or condition, in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease or condition. Amounts effective for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status, weight, and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician. It is considered well within the skill of the art for one to determine such therapeutically effective amounts by routine experimentation (including, but not limited to, a dose escalation clinical trial).


In prophylactic applications, compositions containing the compounds described herein are administered to a patient susceptible to or otherwise at risk of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. Such an amount is defined to be a “prophylactically effective amount or dose.” In this use, the precise amounts also depend on the patient's state of health, weight, and the like. It is considered well within the skill of the art for one to determine such prophylactically effective amounts by routine experimentation (e.g., a dose escalation clinical trial). When used in a patient, effective amounts for this use will depend on the severity and course of the disease, disorder or condition, previous therapy, the patient's health status and response to the drugs, and the judgment of the treating physician.


In the case wherein the patient's condition does not improve, upon the doctor's discretion the administration of the compounds may be administered chronically, that is, for an extended period of time, including throughout the duration of the patient's life in order to ameliorate or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient's disease or condition.


In the case wherein the patient's status does improve, upon the doctor's discretion the administration of the compounds may be given continuously; alternatively, the dose of drug being administered may be temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a “drug holiday”). The length of the drug holiday can vary between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, or 365 days. The dose reduction during a drug holiday may be from 10%-100%, including, by way of example only, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.


Once improvement of the patient's conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved disease, disorder or condition is retained. Patients can, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms.


The amount of a given agent that will correspond to such an amount will vary depending upon factors such as the particular compound, disease or condition and its severity, the identity (e.g., weight) of the subject or host in need of treatment, but can nevertheless be routinely determined in a manner known in the art according to the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, e.g., the specific agent being administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the subject or host being treated. In general, however, doses employed for adult human treatment will typically be in the range of 0.02-5000 mg per day, or from about 1-1500 mg per day. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered simultaneously (or over a short period of time) or at appropriate intervals, for example as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day.


The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be in unit dosage forms suitable for single administration of precise dosages. In unit dosage form, the formulation is divided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of one or more compound. The unit dosage may be in the form of a package containing discrete quantities of the formulation. Non-limiting examples are packaged tablets or capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. Aqueous suspension compositions can be packaged in single-dose non-reclosable containers. Alternatively, multiple-dose reclosable containers can be used, in which case it is typical to include a preservative in the composition. By way of example only, formulations for parenteral injection may be presented in unit dosage form, which include, but are not limited to ampoules, or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative.


The foregoing ranges are merely suggestive, as the number of variables in regard to an individual treatment regime is large, and considerable excursions from these recommended values are not uncommon. Such dosages may be altered depending on a number of variables, not limited to the activity of the compound used, the disease or condition to be treated, the mode of administration, the requirements of the individual subject, the severity of the disease or condition being treated, and the judgment of the practitioner.


Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, including, but not limited to, the determination of the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between the toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. Compounds exhibiting high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with minimal toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized

9. Combination Treatments

The FLT3 inhibitor compositions described herein can also be used in combination with other well-known therapeutic reagents that are selected for their therapeutic value for the condition to be treated. In general, the compositions described herein and, in embodiments where combinational therapy is employed, other agents do not have to be administered in the same pharmaceutical composition, and may, because of different physical and chemical characteristics, have to be administered by different routes. The determination of the mode of administration and the advisability of administration, where possible, in the same pharmaceutical composition, is well within the knowledge of the skilled clinician. The initial administration can be made according to established protocols known in the art, and then, based upon the observed effects, the dosage, modes of administration and times of administration can be modified by the skilled clinician.


In certain instances, it may be appropriate to administer at least one FLT3 inhibitor compound described herein in combination with another therapeutic agent. By way of example only, if one of the side effects experienced by a patient upon receiving one of the FLT3 inhibitor compounds described herein is nausea, then it may be appropriate to administer an anti-nausea agent in combination with the initial therapeutic agent. Or, by way of example only, the therapeutic effectiveness of one of the compounds described herein may be enhanced by administration of an adjuvant (i.e., by itself the adjuvant may have minimal therapeutic benefit, but in combination with another therapeutic agent, the overall therapeutic benefit to the patient is enhanced). Or, by way of example only, the benefit experienced by a patient may be increased by administering one of the compounds described herein with another therapeutic agent (which also includes a therapeutic regimen) that also has therapeutic benefit. In any case, regardless of the disease, disorder or condition being treated, the overall benefit experienced by the patient may simply be additive of the two therapeutic agents or the patient may experience a synergistic benefit.


The particular choice of compounds used will depend upon the diagnosis of the attending physicians and their judgment of the condition of the patient and the appropriate treatment protocol. The compounds may be administered concurrently (e.g., simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within the same treatment protocol) or sequentially, depending upon the nature of the disease, disorder, or condition, the condition of the patient, and the actual choice of compounds used. The determination of the order of administration, and the number of repetitions of administration of each therapeutic agent during a treatment protocol, is well within the knowledge of the skilled physician after evaluation of the disease being treated and the condition of the patient.


It is known to those of skill in the art that therapeutically-effective dosages can vary when the drugs are used in treatment combinations. Methods for experimentally determining therapeutically-effective dosages of drugs and other agents for use in combination treatment regimens are described in the literature. For example, the use of metronomic dosing, i.e., providing more frequent, lower doses in order to minimize toxic side effects, has been described extensively in the literature Combination treatment further includes periodic treatments that start and stop at various times to assist with the clinical management of the patient.


For combination therapies described herein, dosages of the co-administered compounds will of course vary depending on the type of co-drug employed, on the specific drug employed, on the disease or condition being treated and so forth. In addition, when co-administered with one or more biologically active agents, the compound provided herein may be administered either simultaneously with the biologically active agent(s), or sequentially. If administered sequentially, the attending physician will decide on the appropriate sequence of administering protein in combination with the biologically active agent(s).


In any case, the multiple therapeutic agents (one of which is a compound of Formula (P-I), Formula (I)-Formula (LXIIIb), Formula (P2-I), Formula (P4-I)-(P4-Vb), or Formula (P5-I′)-(P5-Vd) described herein) may be administered in any order or even simultaneously. If simultaneously, the multiple therapeutic agents may be provided in a single, unified form, or in multiple forms (by way of example only, either as a single pill or as two separate pills). One of the therapeutic agents may be given in multiple doses, or both may be given as multiple doses. If not simultaneous, the timing between the multiple doses may vary from more than zero weeks to less than four weeks. In addition, the combination methods, compositions and formulations are not to be limited to the use of only two agents; the use of multiple therapeutic combinations are also envisioned.


It is understood that the dosage regimen to treat, prevent, or ameliorate the condition(s) for which relief is sought, can be modified in accordance with a variety of factors. These factors include the disorder from which the subject suffers, as well as the age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the subject. Thus, the dosage regimen actually employed can vary widely and therefore can deviate from the dosage regimens set forth herein.


The pharmaceutical agents which make up the combination therapy disclosed herein may be a combined dosage form or in separate dosage forms intended for substantially simultaneous administration. The pharmaceutical agents that make up the combination therapy may also be administered sequentially, with either therapeutic compound being administered by a regimen calling for two-step administration. The two-step administration regimen may call for sequential administration of the active agents or spaced-apart administration of the separate active agents. The time period between the multiple administration steps may range from, a few minutes to several hours, depending upon the properties of each pharmaceutical agent, such as potency, solubility, bioavailability, plasma half-life, and kinetic profile of the pharmaceutical agent. Circadian variation of the target molecule concentration may also determine the optimal dose interval.


In addition, the compounds described herein also may be used in combination with procedures that may provide additional or synergistic benefit to the patient. By way of example only, patients are expected to find therapeutic and/or prophylactic benefit in the methods described herein, wherein pharmaceutical composition of a compound disclosed herein and/or combinations with other therapeutics are combined with genetic testing to determine whether that individual is a carrier of a mutant gene that is known to be correlated with certain diseases or conditions.


The compounds described herein and combination therapies can be administered before, during or after the occurrence of a disease or condition, and the timing of administering the composition containing a compound can vary. Thus, for example, the compounds can be used as a prophylactic and can be administered continuously to subjects with a propensity to develop conditions or diseases in order to prevent the occurrence of the disease or condition. The compounds and compositions can be administered to a subject during or as soon as possible after the onset of the symptoms. The administration of the compounds can be initiated within the first 48 hours of the onset of the symptoms, within the first 6 hours of the onset of the symptoms, or within 3 hours of the onset of the symptoms. The initial administration can be via any route practical, such as, for example, an intravenous injection, a bolus injection, infusion over 5 minutes to about 5 hours, a pill, a capsule, transdermal patch, buccal delivery, and the like, or combination thereof. A compound should be administered as soon as is practicable after the onset of a disease or condition is detected or suspected, and for a length of time necessary for the treatment of the disease, such as, for example, from about 1 month to about 3 months. The length of treatment can vary for each subject, and the length can be determined using the known criteria.

Example B1
FLT3 In Vitro Inhibitory Activity

The proliferation inhibitory effect was investigated in human AML cell lines MOLM-13 (AddexBio: C0003003) and MV-4-11 (ATCC: CRL-9591), and CML cell line K-652 (ATCC: CRL-3343). Molm-13 is heterozygous for FLT3-ITD mutation, while MV4-11 is homozygous for FLT3-ITD (Quentmeier H, et al., Leukemia. 17(1):120-4). K562 does not harbor any FLT3 mutations. Cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium (ThermoFisher catalog no. 61870036) supplemented with 10% of Heat Inactivated FBS (ThermoFisher catalog no. A31605) and 1% Pen-Strep (ThermoFisher catalog no. 10378016) and cultured at 37° C. in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Cell lines were grown by adhering to culture flasks, and the cells were maintained in a range 70%-80% confluency.


ATP is present in all metabolically active cells and is considered as a marker for cell viability and proliferation. Metabolic cell activity was determined using the CellTiter-Glo kit (Promega catalog no. G7572), an ATP monitoring system based on the production of luminescence by the reaction of ATP with added UltraGlo® recombinant luciferase (Kawano et al., 2016, PLOS One, 8; 11(7):e0158888), according to the supplier's experimental recommendations. The assay was based on a 96 well plate format.


Test compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in DMSO (Sigma catalog no. D8418; purity ≥99.9%) and stored at −20° C. Eight concentrations of test compound were assessed in duplicate in an individual test occasion in parallel in the selected cell lines. Gilteratinib and FF-10101 were used as reference compounds and tested in duplicate at eight concentrations. 100% of proliferation is represented by the untreated cells (0.2% DMSO).


On the day of the experiment, cells were quantified with the cell viability analyzer NucleoCounter (Chemometec NC-200) and diluted with fresh medium to obtain the cell density of about 10,000 cells per 200 μL medium. 200 μL of cell suspension were added into wells in the 96 well plate.


After 2 hours from seeding cells, compounds at desired concentrations were added using a D300e compound dispenser (Life Sciences Tecan D300) with shaking between each compound dispensed. Assay plates were incubated at 37° C. in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2.


On day 4 (˜96 hrs after compound addition) assay plates were equilibrated at room temperature for approximately 15 min, and then 40 μL/well of the Promega CellTiterGlo® reagent was added. Contents were mixed for 5 min on an orbital shaker to promote cell lysis, and then incubated at room temperature for an additional 10 min in the dark to stabilize the luminescent signal. Luminescence was read by using a GloMax GM300 plate reader (Promega) using the luminescence for 96 well plate standard protocol.


Data was expressed as % of inhibition compared to the 0.2% DMSO (vehicle) negative control, and is calculated as follows: % inhibition=100−[(RLU sample)×100/(RLU average controls*)], where * indicates the average for 0.2% DMSO.


Results were analyzed by GraphPad (Prism) and IC50 values were calculated by non-linear regression using four parameter-logistic equation. IC50 values measured on day T4 (4 days) are reported in the Table 2A below: ***** ≤1 nM **** 1-10 nM, *** 10-100 nM, ** 100-500 nM, *>500 nM.

Example B2
WT FL T3 and FL T3-ITD Biochemical Assay

High throughput 384-well Lance Ultra TR-FRET based kinase assays were established for the WT FLT3 and FLT3-ITD enzymes and employed a ULight-labeled peptide (donor) and FLT3 proteins labelled with Eu-conjugated antibody (acceptor) (WuXi Aptec). The principle of TR-FRET is based on transfer of energy between a donor and acceptor fluorophore that results when the fluorophores are within close proximity (˜100 Å) of each other. Recombinant WT FLT3 (#PR4666C, M.W. 48.6 kDa) was purchased from Invitrogen and FLT3-ITD (FLT3-ITD-W51, #F-12-12CG-10, M.W. 76 kDa) was purchased from Signalchem. Optimal assay conditions for the WT FLT3 enzyme assay were as follows: 0.5 nM FLT3 protein, 50 nM ULight-JAK-1 (Tyr1023) substrate peptide (PerkinElmer #TRF0121), 100 μM ATP, 60 min reaction time. Optimal assay conditions for the FLT3-ITD enzyme assay were as follows: 0.0625 nM FLT3-ITD protein, 50 nM ULight-JAK-1 (Tyr1023) substrate peptide, 50 μM ATP, 90 min reaction time. Briefly, 11 dose 3× serial dilutions were prepared for the test compounds and the reference compound and 100 nanoliters transferred to appropriate wells of 384-well assay plates. Five microliters of 2× enzyme/peptide were added into assay wells, assay plates centrifuged at 1000 rpm for about 30 seconds, sealed with sealing film and incubated for 30 min at 23° C. Assay buffer comprised 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 0.01% Brij-35, 10 mM MgCl2 and 2 mM DTT.

Example B3
FLT3 Mutant Assay

Multiple FLT3 kinase inhibitors are currently in the clinic, either approved or in developed, including midostaurin, sorafenib, quizartinib (AC220) and gilteritinib. Despite good potency, survival benefits, monotherapy of these targeted FLT3 inhibitors is limited by treatment-emergent resistance, thus leading to relapse and poor overall survival (Smith C C et al. Nature. 2012; 485(7397):260-U153, Smith et al. Blood. 2017; 130(1):48-58). Acquired mutations in the TKD and the F691L “gatekeeper” mutation confer resistance to most currently available FLT3 inhibitors (Eguchi et al. Biomedicines. 2020; 8(8):245; Smith C C et al. Cancer Discov. 2015; 5(6):668-79). Therefore, drugs that can overcome these drug resistance mutations confers selective advantages and is highly desired.


Activity of compounds on FLT3 activating mutations were assessed using Ba/F3 cell lines (mouse pro-B cell line) stably expressing human FLT3-ITD, FLT3-ITD-D835Y or FLT3-ITD-F691L. Briefly the human FLT3-ITD/FLT3-ITD-D835Y/FLT3-ITD-D691L expression plasmids were transfected into 293FT cells with lentivirus packaging plasmids to generate the lentiviruses. The supernatant collected were concentrated with PEG8000 and used to infect Ba/F3 cells at 1-5 MOI in serum-free media with polybrene. Infected Ba/F3 cells were selected in presence of puromycin, and surviving cells verified by sequencing and/or protein detection assay. Constitutive expression of the activating kinase transforms the Ba/F3 cells into IL-3-independent growth allowing them to be cultured in the absence of IL-3. The transformed cell lines thus generated were maintained in culture media (90% RPMI 1640+10% heat inactivate FBS+1×Pen-Strep/Antibiotic-Antimycotic) in the absence in IL-3 at 37° C. in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air and routinely sub-cultured. For use in compound testing, cells in exponential growth phase were harvested, counted, and resuspended at the required cell density. Cell viability assays were performed in 96-well assay plates and 90 μL of cell suspension seeded per well. Serial dilutions of the test compounds and assay controls and were freshly prepared for the assay. Nine-point 3× serial dilutions were prepared in 100% DMSO (400× stock) and subsequently diluted in cell culture media to obtain 10× stocks. Ten microliters of the 10× stock serial dilutions were added to the appropriate wells (triplicate wells per condition) in the assay plate. The final DMSO concentration in the assay was 0.25%. Assay plates were incubated for 3 days in at 37° C. in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. At the end of 3 days, cell viability was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay Kit (Promega-G7573) following manufacturer's protocol and the luminescence signal produced by ATP molecules in living cells was measured using the 2104 Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer).


Inhibition rate (IR) of the tested compounds was determined by the following formula: IR (%)=(1−(RLU compound−RLU blank)/(RLU control−RLU blank))*100%. The inhibitions of different dose of compound were calculated in Excel file, and the dose responses were analysed using GraphPad Prism to evaluate related parameters, such as Bottom, Top and IC50. For the IC50 analysis by GraphPad Prism, the equation below was used to fit curve: Y=Bottom+(Top−Bottom)/(1+10{circumflex over ( )}((Log IC50−X)*HillSlope))


Representative compounds provided herein showed potent antileukemic activity (IC50<10 nM) when tested against the engineered Ba/F3 cell line stably expressing the human FLT3-ITD mutation, with top compounds showing higher potency than gilteritinib (Table 2C). Compounds were also tested against Ba/F3 cell lines stably expressing the TKD mutation, FLT3-ITD-D835Y, or the gatekeeper mutation, FLT3-ITD-F691L. Consistent with published data, FLT3-ITD-D835Y and FLT3-ITD-F691L mutants showed reduced sensitivity to quizartinib (50 to 100-fold increase in IC50) compared to FLT3-ITD. Gilteritinib retained high activity against FLT3-ITD and FLT3-ITD-D835Y mutant but was less active against the FLT3 gatekeeper mutation FLT3-ITD-F691L (˜15-fold increase in IC50 versus FLT3-ITD). In comparison, the profile of several representative compounds provided herein stand out in that they retain good activity (<10-fold shift in IC50) against both mutants. Of particular note FLT3-ITD-F691L was highly sensitivity to the majority of compounds of the invention. In conclusion, representative compounds of the invention show a superior profile given the ability to inhibit both the TKD mutation D835Y as well as the gatekeeper mutation F691L.
