RAS INHIBITORS

Abstract
The disclosure features macrocyclic compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions and protein complexes thereof, capable of inhibiting Ras proteins, and their uses in the treatment of cancers.
Description
BACKGROUND

The vast majority of small molecule drugs act by binding a functionally important pocket on a target protein, thereby modulating the activity of that protein. For example, cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins bind the enzyme active site of HMG-COA reductase, thus preventing the enzyme from engaging with its substrates. The fact that many such drug/target interacting pairs are known may have misled some into believing that a small molecule modulator could be discovered for most, if not all, proteins provided a reasonable amount of time, effort, and resources. This is far from the case. Current estimates are that only about 10% of all human proteins are targetable by small molecules. Bojadzic and Buchwald, Curr Top Med Chem 18:674-699 (2019). The other 90% are currently considered refractory or intractable toward above-mentioned small molecule drug discovery. Such targets are commonly referred to as “undruggable.” These undruggable targets include a vast and largely untapped reservoir of medically important human proteins. Thus, there exists a great deal of interest in discovering new molecular modalities capable of modulating the function of such undruggable targets.


It has been well established in literature that Ras proteins (K-Ras, H-Ras, and N-Ras) play an essential role in various human cancers and are therefore appropriate targets for anticancer therapy. Indeed, mutations in Ras proteins account for approximately 30% of all human cancers in the United States, many of which are fatal. Dysregulation of Ras proteins by activating mutations, overexpression or upstream activation is common in human tumors, and activating mutations in Ras are frequently found in human cancer. For example, activating mutations at codon 12 in Ras proteins function by inhibiting both GTPase-activating protein (GAP)-dependent and intrinsic hydrolysis rates of GTP, significantly skewing the population of Ras mutant proteins to the “on” (GTP-bound) state (Ras (ON)), leading to oncogenic MAPK signaling. Notably, Ras exhibits a picomolar affinity for GTP, enabling Ras to be activated even in the presence of low concentrations of this nucleotide. Mutations at codons 13 (e.g., G13C) and 61 (e.g., Q61K) of Ras are also responsible for oncogenic activity in some cancers.


Despite extensive drug discovery efforts against Ras during the last several decades, only two agents targeting the K-Ras G12C mutant have been approved in the U.S. (sotorasib and adagrasib). Additional efforts are needed to uncover additional medicines for cancers driven by the various Ras mutations.


SUMMARY

Provided herein are Ras inhibitors and compounds useful for studying Ras inhibition. The approach described herein entails formation of a high affinity three-component complex, or conjugate, between a synthetic ligand and two intracellular proteins which do not interact under normal physiological conditions: the target protein of interest (e.g., Ras), and a widely expressed cytosolic chaperone (presenter protein) in the cell (e.g., cyclophilin A). More specifically, in some embodiments, the inhibitors of Ras described herein induce a new binding pocket in Ras by driving formation of a high affinity tri-complex, or conjugate, between the Ras protein and the widely expressed cytosolic chaperone, cyclophilin A (CYPA). Without being bound by theory, the inventors believe that one way the inhibitory effect on Ras is effected by compounds of the invention and the complexes, or conjugates, they form is by steric occlusion of the interaction site between Ras and downstream effector molecules, such as RAF and PI3K, which are required for propagating the oncogenic signal.

Definitions and Chemical Terms

In this application, unless otherwise clear from context, (i) the term “a” means “one or more”; (ii) the term “or” is used to mean “and/or” unless explicitly indicated to refer to alternatives only or the alternative are mutually exclusive, although the disclosure supports a definition that refers to only alternatives and “and/or”; (iii) the terms “comprising” and “including” are understood to encompass itemized components or steps whether presented by themselves or together with one or more additional components or steps; and (iv) where ranges are provided, endpoints are included.


As used herein, the term “about” is used to indicate that a value includes the standard deviation of error for the device or method being employed to determine the value. In certain embodiments, the term “about” refers to a range of values that fall within 25%, 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or less in either direction (greater than or less than) of a stated value, unless otherwise stated or otherwise evident from the context (e.g., where such number would exceed 100% of a possible value).


As used herein, the term “adjacent” in the context of describing adjacent atoms refers to bivalent atoms that are directly connected by a covalent bond.


A “compound of the present invention” and similar terms as used herein, whether explicitly noted or not, refers to Ras inhibitors described herein, including compounds of Formula I or Formula I′ and subformulae thereof, for example, a compound of Table 1 or Table 2, as well as salts (e.g., pharmaceutically acceptable salts), solvates, hydrates, stereoisomers (including atropisomers), and tautomers thereof.


The term “wild-type” refers to an entity having a structure or activity as found in nature in a “normal” (as contrasted with mutant, diseased, altered, etc.) state or context. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that wild-type genes and polypeptides often exist in multiple different forms (e.g., alleles).


Those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain compounds described herein can exist in one or more different isomeric (e.g., stereoisomers, geometric isomers, atropisomers, tautomers) or isotopic (e.g., in which one or more atoms has been substituted with a different isotope of the atom, such as hydrogen substituted for deuterium) forms. Unless otherwise indicated or clear from context, a depicted structure can be understood to represent any such isomeric or isotopic form, individually or in combination.


Compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present disclosure that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically active starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C═N double bonds, and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present disclosure. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present disclosure are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms.


In some embodiments, one or more compounds depicted herein may exist in different tautomeric forms. As will be clear from context, unless explicitly excluded, references to such compounds encompass all such tautomeric forms. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond and the concomitant migration of a proton. In certain embodiments, a tautomeric form may be a prototropic tautomer, which is an isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge as a reference form. Examples of moieties with prototropic tautomeric forms are ketone-enol pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, lactam-lactim pairs, amide-imidic acid pairs, enamine-imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system, such as, 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H—, 2H- and 4H-1,2,4-triazole, 1H- and 2H-isoindole, and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. In some embodiments, tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution. In certain embodiments, tautomeric forms result from acetal interconversion.


Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 13N, 15N, 15O, 17O, 18O, 32P, 33P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, 123I and 125I. Isotopically labeled compounds (e.g., those labeled with 3H and 14C) can be useful in compound or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., 3H) and carbon-14 (i.e., 14C) isotopes can be useful for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements). In some embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by 2H or 3H, or one or more carbon atoms are replaced by 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon. Positron emitting isotopes such as 15O 13N, 11C, and 18F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy. Preparations of isotopically labelled compounds are known to those of skill in the art. For example, isotopically labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed for compounds of the present invention described herein, by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.


Non-limiting examples of moieties that may contain one or more deuterium substitutions in compounds of the present invention, where any position “R” may be deuterium (D), include

As is known in the art, many chemical entities can adopt a variety of different solid forms such as, for example, amorphous forms or crystalline forms (e.g., polymorphs, hydrates, solvate). In some embodiments, compounds of the present invention may be utilized in any such form, including in any solid form. In some embodiments, compounds described or depicted herein may be provided or utilized in hydrate or solvate form.


At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds of the present disclosure are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the present disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term “C1-C6 alkyl” is specifically intended to individually disclose methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl. Furthermore, where a compound includes a plurality of positions at which substituents are disclosed in groups or in ranges, unless otherwise indicated, the present disclosure is intended to cover individual compounds and groups of compounds (e.g., genera and subgenera) containing each and every individual subcombination of members at each position.


The term “optionally substituted X” (e.g., “optionally substituted alkyl”) is intended to be equivalent to “X, wherein X is optionally substituted” (e.g., “alkyl, wherein said alkyl is optionally substituted”). It is not intended to mean that the feature “X” (e.g., alkyl) per se is optional. As described herein, certain compounds of interest may contain one or more “optionally substituted” moieties. In general, the term “substituted”, whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, means that one or more hydrogens of the designated moiety are replaced with a suitable substituent, e.g., any of the substituents or groups described herein. Unless otherwise indicated, an “optionally substituted” group may have a suitable substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. For example, in the term “optionally substituted C1-C6 alkyl-C2-C9 heteroaryl,” the alkyl portion, the heteroaryl portion, or both, may be optionally substituted. Combinations of substituents envisioned by the present disclosure are preferably those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.

The term “heterocycloalkyl,” as used herein, represents a monovalent monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic ring system, which may be bridged, fused or spirocyclic, wherein at least one ring is non-aromatic and wherein the non-aromatic ring contains one, two, three, or four heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur. The 5-membered ring has zero to two double bonds, and the 6- and 7-membered rings have zero to three double bonds. Exemplary unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl groups are of 1 to 12 (e.g., 1 to 11, 1 to 10, 1 to 9, 2 to 12, 2 to 11, 2 to 10, or 2 to 9) carbons. The term “heterocycloalkyl” also represents a heterocyclic compound having a bridged multicyclic structure in which one or more carbons or heteroatoms bridges two non-adjacent members of a monocyclic ring, e.g., a quinuclidinyl group. The term “heterocycloalkyl” includes bicyclic, tricyclic, and tetracyclic groups in which any of the above heterocyclic rings is fused to one or more aromatic, carbocyclic, heteroaromatic, or heterocyclic rings, e.g., an aryl ring, a cyclohexane ring, a cyclohexene ring, a cyclopentane ring, a cyclopentene ring, a pyridine ring, or a pyrrolidine ring. Examples of heterocycloalkyl groups are pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl, decahydroquinolinyl, dihydropyrrolopyridine, and decahydronapthyridinyl. A heterocycloalkyl ring can be attached to its pendant group at any ring atom that results in a stable structure and any of the ring atoms can be optionally substituted unless otherwise specified.


The term “hydroxy,” as used herein, represents a —OH group.


The term “hydroxyalkyl,” as used herein, represents an alkyl moiety substituted on one or more carbon atoms with one or more-OH moieties.


The term “isomer,” as used herein, means any tautomer, stereoisomer, atropisomer, enantiomer, or diastereomer of any compound of the invention. It is recognized that the compounds of the invention can have one or more chiral centers or double bonds and, therefore, exist as stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric E/Z isomers) or diastereomers (e.g., enantiomers (i.e., (+) or (−)) or cis/trans isomers). According to the invention, the chemical structures depicted herein, and therefore the compounds of the invention, encompass all the corresponding stereoisomers, that is, both the stereomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure, or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures, e.g., racemates. Enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures of compounds of the invention can typically be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and stereoisomers can also be obtained from stereomerically or enantiomerically pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well-known asymmetric synthetic methods.


As used herein, the term “linker” refers to a divalent organic moiety connecting a first moiety (e.g., one portion of a macrocycle) to a second moiety (e.g., a second portion of the same macrocycle). In some embodiments, the linker results in a compound capable of achieving an IC50 of 1 uM or less in the Ras-RAF disruption assay protocol provided here:

    • The purpose of this biochemical assay is to measure the ability of test compounds to facilitate ternary complex formation between a nucleotide-loaded Ras isoform and cyclophilin A; the resulting ternary complex disrupts binding to a BRAFRBD construct, inhibiting Ras signaling through a RAF effector.
    • In assay buffer containing 25 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 0.002% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 100 mM NaCl and 5 mM MgCl2, tagless cyclophilin A, His6-K-Ras-GMPPNP (or other Ras variant), and GST-BRAFRBD are combined in a 384-well assay plate at final concentrations of 25 μM, 12.5 nM and 50 nM, respectively. Compound is present in plate wells as a 10-point 3-fold dilution series starting at a final concentration of 30 μM. After incubation at 25° C. for 3 hours, a mixture of Anti-His Eu—W1024 and anti-GST allophycocyanin is then added to assay sample wells at final concentrations of 10 nM and 50 nM, respectively, and the reaction incubated for an additional 1.5 hours. TR-FRET signal is read on a microplate reader (Ex 320 nm, Em 665/615 nm). Compounds that facilitate disruption of a Ras: RAF complex are identified as those eliciting a decrease in the TR-FRET ratio relative to DMSO control wells.


      This assay may be used to assess selectivity as well. In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention is selective for one or more particular Ras mutants over other Ras mutants or wild-type compared to what is known in the art. For example, a compound of the present invention may be more selective for KRASG12V versus wild-type KRAS.


In some embodiments, the linker comprises 20 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker comprises 15 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker comprises 10 or fewer linear atoms. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 500 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 400 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 300 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 200 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 100 g/mol. In some embodiments, the linker has a molecular weight of under 50 g/mol.


The term “stereoisomer,” as used herein, refers to all possible different isomeric as well as conformational forms which a compound may possess (e.g., a compound of any formula described herein), in particular all possible stereochemically and conformationally isomeric forms, all diastereomers, enantiomers or conformers of the basic molecular structure, including atropisomers. Some compounds of the present invention may exist in different tautomeric forms, all of the latter being included within the scope of the present invention.


The term “sulfonyl,” as used herein, represents an —S(O)2— group.


The term “thiocarbonyl,” as used herein, refers to a —C(S)— group.


The term “vinyl ketone,” as used herein, refers to a group comprising a carbonyl group directly connected to a carbon-carbon double bond.


The term “vinyl sulfone,” as used herein, refers to a group comprising a sulfonyl group directed connected to a carbon-carbon double bond.


The term “ynone,” as used herein, refers to a group comprising the structure

Those of ordinary skill in the art, reading the present disclosure, will appreciate that certain compounds described herein may be provided or utilized in any of a variety of forms such as, for example, salt forms, protected forms, pro-drug forms, ester forms, isomeric forms (e.g., optical or structural isomers), isotopic forms, etc. In some embodiments, reference to a particular compound may relate to a specific form of that compound. In some embodiments, reference to a particular compound may relate to that compound in any form. In some embodiments, for example, a preparation of a single stereoisomer of a compound may be considered to be a different form of the compound than a racemic mixture of the compound; a particular salt of a compound may be considered to be a different form from another salt form of the compound; a preparation containing one conformational isomer ((Z) or (E)) of a double bond may be considered to be a different form from one containing the other conformational isomer ((E) or (Z)) of the double bond; a preparation in which one or more atoms is a different isotope than is present in a reference preparation may be considered to be a different form.







DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Compounds

Provided herein are Ras inhibitors. The approach described herein entails formation of a high affinity three-component complex, or conjugate, between a synthetic ligand and two intracellular proteins which do not interact under normal physiological conditions: the target protein of interest (e.g., Ras), and a widely expressed cytosolic chaperone (presenter protein) in the cell (e.g., cyclophilin A). More specifically, in some embodiments, the inhibitors of Ras described herein induce a new binding pocket in Ras by driving formation of a high affinity tri-complex, or conjugate, between the Ras protein and the widely expressed cytosolic chaperone, cyclophilin A (CYPA). Without being bound by theory, the inventors believe that one way the inhibitory effect on Ras is effected by compounds of the invention and the complexes, or conjugates, they form is by steric occlusion of the interaction site between Ras and downstream effector molecules, such as RAF, which are required for propagating the oncogenic signal.


Without being bound by theory, the inventors postulate that non-covalent interactions of a compound of the present invention with Ras and the chaperone protein (e.g., cyclophilin A) contribute to the inhibition of Ras activity. For example, van der Waals, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and hydrogen bond interactions, and combinations thereof, may contribute to the ability of the compounds of the present invention to form complexes and act as Ras inhibitors.


A variety of Ras proteins may be inhibited by a compound of the present invention (e.g., K-Ras, N-Ras, H-Ras, and mutants thereof at positions 12, 13 and 61, such as G12C, G12D, G12V, G12S, G12R, G13C, G13D, Q61H, Q61K, Q61R and Q61L, and others described herein, or a combination thereof). In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention inhibits a G12C, G12D, G12R or G12S mutant of RAS, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention interacts selectively with K-RasG12V versus wildtype and versus other mutants.


Accordingly, provided herein is a compound having the structure of Formula I′:

In some embodiments, a compound of the present invention has improved oral bioavailability (% F) compared to what is known in the art. Methods of measuring oral bioavailability are known in the art, and one such method is provided below:

    • Oral bioavailability may be determined in BALB/c mice. Following intravenous (IV) bolus and oral gavage (PO) administration of a test compound, about 30 μL of whole blood samples are collected at designated time points into tubes containing K2EDTA. The blood samples are centrifuged at 4600 rpm at 4° C. for about 5 minutes and plasma samples are stored at −80° C. prior to bioanalysis. Plasma samples are extracted by protein precipitation and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) on, for example, an API 5500 system using electrospray positive ionization.


All PK parameters may be derived from plasma concentration over time data with non-compartment analysis using WinNonlin. The bioavailability (F %, also % F) is estimated using the following equation:

Those of ordinary skill in the art are familiar with a variety of agents and materials useful as excipients. See, e.g., e.g., Ansel, et al., Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2004; Gennaro, et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy. Philadelphia: Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2000; and Rowe, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients. Chicago, Pharmaceutical Press, 2005. In some embodiments, a composition includes at least two different pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.


Compounds described herein, whether expressly stated or not, may be provided or utilized in salt form, e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form, unless expressly stated to the contrary. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as use herein, refers to those salts of the compounds described herein that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and other animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in: Berge et al., J. Pharmaceutical Sciences 66:1-19, 1977 and in Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, (Eds. P. H. Stahl and C. G. Wermuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds described herein or separately by reacting the free base group with a suitable organic acid.


The compounds of the invention may have ionizable groups so as to be capable of preparation as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These salts may be acid addition salts involving inorganic or organic acids or the salts may, in the case of acidic forms of the compounds of the invention, be prepared from inorganic or organic bases. In some embodiments, the compounds are prepared or used as pharmaceutically acceptable salts prepared as addition products of pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases are well-known in the art, such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, acetic, lactic, citric, or tartaric acids for forming acid addition salts, and potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, caffeine, various amines, and the like for forming basic salts. Methods for preparation of the appropriate salts are well-established in the art.


Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptonate, hexanoate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, 2-optionally substituted hydroxyl-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts and the like. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and the like, as well as nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations, including, but not limited to ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine, and the like.


As used herein, the term “subject” refers to any member of the animal kingdom. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to humans, at any stage of development. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to a human patient. In some embodiments, “subject” refers to non-human animals. In some embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., a rodent, a mouse, a rat, a rabbit, a monkey, a dog, a cat, a sheep, cattle, a primate, or a pig). In some embodiments, subjects include, but are not limited to, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, or worms. In some embodiments, a subject may be a transgenic animal, genetically-engineered animal, or a clone.


As used herein, the term “dosage form” refers to a physically discrete unit of a compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) for administration to a subject. Each unit contains a predetermined quantity of compound. In some embodiments, such quantity is a unit dosage amount (or a whole fraction thereof) appropriate for administration in accordance with a dosing regimen that has been determined to correlate with a desired or beneficial outcome when administered to a relevant population (i.e., with a therapeutic dosing regimen). Those of ordinary skill in the art appreciate that the total amount of a therapeutic composition or compound administered to a particular subject is determined by one or more attending physicians and may involve administration of multiple dosage forms.


As used herein, the term “dosing regimen” refers to a set of unit doses (typically more than one) that are administered individually to a subject, typically separated by periods of time. In some embodiments, a given therapeutic compound (e.g., a compound of the present invention) has a recommended dosing regimen, which may involve one or more doses. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses each of which are separated from one another by a time period of the same length; in some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a plurality of doses and at least two different time periods separating individual doses. In some embodiments, all doses within a dosing regimen are of the same unit dose amount. In some embodiments, different doses within a dosing regimen are of different amounts. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a first dose in a first dose amount, followed by one or more additional doses in a second dose amount different from the first dose amount. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen comprises a first dose in a first dose amount, followed by one or more additional doses in a second dose amount same as the first dose amount. In some embodiments, a dosing regimen is correlated with a desired or beneficial outcome when administered across a relevant population (i.e., is a therapeutic dosing regimen).


A “therapeutic regimen” refers to a dosing regimen whose administration across a relevant population is correlated with a desired or beneficial therapeutic outcome.


The term “treatment” (also “treat” or “treating”), in its broadest sense, refers to any administration of a substance (e.g., a compound of the present invention) that partially or completely alleviates, ameliorates, relieves, inhibits, delays onset of, reduces severity of, or reduces incidence of one or more symptoms, features, or causes of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, such treatment may be administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs of the relevant disease, disorder, or condition or of a subject who exhibits only early signs of the disease, disorder, or condition. Alternatively, or additionally, in some embodiments, treatment may be administered to a subject who exhibits one or more established signs of the relevant disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject who has been diagnosed as suffering from the relevant disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, treatment may be of a subject known to have one or more susceptibility factors that are statistically correlated with increased risk of development of the relevant disease, disorder, or condition.


The term “therapeutically effective amount” means an amount that is sufficient, when administered to a population suffering from or susceptible to a disease, disorder, or condition in accordance with a therapeutic dosing regimen, to treat the disease, disorder, or condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is one that reduces the incidence or severity of, or delays onset of, one or more symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the term “therapeutically effective amount” does not in fact require successful treatment be achieved in a particular individual. Rather, a therapeutically effective amount may be that amount that provides a particular desired pharmacological response in a significant number of subjects when administered to patients in need of such treatment. It is specifically understood that particular subjects may, in fact, be “refractory” to a “therapeutically effective amount.” In some embodiments, reference to a therapeutically effective amount may be a reference to an amount as measured in one or more specific tissues (e.g., a tissue affected by the disease, disorder, or condition) or fluids (e.g., blood, saliva, serum, sweat, tears, urine). Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that, in some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated or administered in a single dose. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount may be formulated or administered in a plurality of doses, for example, as part of a dosing regimen.


For use as treatment of subjects, the compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be formulated as pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions. Depending on the subject to be treated, the mode of administration, and the type of treatment desired, e.g., prevention, prophylaxis, or therapy, the compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are formulated in ways consonant with these parameters. A summary of such techniques may be found in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, (2005); and Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, eds. J. Swarbrick and J. C. Boylan, 1988-1999, Marcel Dekker, New York, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.


Compositions can be prepared according to conventional mixing, granulating, or coating methods, respectively, and the present pharmaceutical compositions can contain from about 0.1% to about 99%, from about 5% to about 90%, or from about 1% to about 20% of a compound of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, by weight or volume. In some embodiments, compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, described herein may be present in amounts totaling 1-95% by weight of the total weight of a composition, such as a pharmaceutical composition.


The composition may be provided in a dosage form that is suitable for intraarticular, oral, parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular), rectal, cutaneous, subcutaneous, topical, transdermal, sublingual, nasal, vaginal, intravesicular, intraurethral, intrathecal, epidural, aural, or ocular administration, or by injection, inhalation, or direct contact with the nasal, genitourinary, reproductive, or oral mucosa. Thus, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, e.g., tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granulates, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, gels including hydrogels, pastes, ointments, creams, plasters, drenches, osmotic delivery devices, suppositories, enemas, injectables, implants, sprays, preparations suitable for iontophoretic delivery, or aerosols. The compositions may be formulated according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.


As used herein, the term “administration” refers to the administration of a composition (e.g., a compound, or a preparation that includes a compound as described herein) to a subject or system. Administration to an animal subject (e.g., to a human) may be by any appropriate route. For example, in some embodiments, administration may be bronchial (including by bronchial instillation), buccal, enteral, intradermal, intra-arterial, intradermal, intragastric, intramedullary, intramuscular, intranasal, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, intravenous, intraventricular, mucosal, nasal, oral, rectal, subcutaneous, sublingual, topical, tracheal (including by intratracheal instillation), transdermal, vaginal, or vitreal.


Formulations may be prepared in a manner suitable for systemic administration or topical or local administration. Systemic formulations include those designed for injection (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous injection) or may be prepared for transdermal, transmucosal, or oral administration. A formulation will generally include a diluent as well as, in some cases, adjuvants, buffers, preservatives and the like. Compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be administered also in liposomal compositions or as microemulsions.


For injection, formulations can be prepared in conventional forms as liquid solutions or suspensions or as solid forms suitable for solution or suspension in liquid prior to injection or as emulsions. Suitable excipients include, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol and the like. Such compositions may also contain amounts of nontoxic auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents and the like, such as, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, and so forth.


Various sustained release systems for drugs have also been devised. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,677.


Systemic administration may also include relatively noninvasive methods such as the use of suppositories, transdermal patches, transmucosal delivery and intranasal administration. Oral administration is also suitable for compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Suitable forms include syrups, capsules, and tablets, as is understood in the art.


Each compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as described herein, may be formulated in a variety of ways that are known in the art. For example, the first and second agents of the combination therapy may be formulated together or separately. Other modalities of combination therapy are described herein.


The individually or separately formulated agents can be packaged together as a kit. Non-limiting examples include, but are not limited to, kits that contain, e.g., two pills, a pill and a powder, a suppository and a liquid in a vial, two topical creams, etc. The kit can include optional components that aid in the administration of the unit dose to subjects, such as vials for reconstituting powder forms, syringes for injection, customized IV delivery systems, inhalers, etc. Additionally, the unit dose kit can contain instructions for preparation and administration of the compositions. The kit may be manufactured as a single use unit dose for one subject, multiple uses for a particular subject (at a constant dose or in which the individual compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may vary in potency as therapy progresses); or the kit may contain multiple doses suitable for administration to multiple subjects (“bulk packaging”). The kit components may be assembled in cartons, blister packs, bottles, tubes, and the like.


Formulations for oral use include tablets containing the active ingredient(s) in a mixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents or fillers (e.g., sucrose, sorbitol, sugar, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, lactose, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, or sodium phosphate); granulating and disintegrating agents (e.g., cellulose derivatives including microcrystalline cellulose, starches including potato starch, croscarmellose sodium, alginates, or alginic acid); binding agents (e.g., sucrose, glucose, sorbitol, acacia, alginic acid, sodium alginate, gelatin, starch, pregelatinized starch, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, methylcellulose, optionally substituted hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or polyethylene glycol); and lubricating agents, glidants, and antiadhesives (e.g., magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, silicas, hydrogenated vegetable oils, or talc). Other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients can be colorants, flavoring agents, plasticizers, humectants, buffering agents, and the like.


Two or more compounds may be mixed together in a tablet, capsule, or other vehicle, or may be partitioned. In one example, the first compound is contained on the inside of the tablet, and the second compound is on the outside, such that a substantial portion of the second compound is released prior to the release of the first compound.


Formulations for oral use may also be provided as chewable tablets, or as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent (e.g., potato starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin), or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Powders, granulates, and pellets may be prepared using the ingredients mentioned above under tablets and capsules in a conventional manner using, e.g., a mixer, a fluid bed apparatus or a spray drying equipment.


Dissolution or diffusion-controlled release can be achieved by appropriate coating of a tablet, capsule, pellet, or granulate formulation of compounds, or by incorporating the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, into an appropriate matrix. A controlled release coating may include one or more of the coating substances mentioned above or, e.g., shellac, beeswax, glycowax, castor wax, carnauba wax, stearyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl distearate, glycerol palmitostearate, ethylcellulose, acrylic resins, dl-polylactic acid, cellulose acetate butyrate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene, polymethacrylate, methylmethacrylate, 2-optionally substituted hydroxylmethacrylate, methacrylate hydrogels, 1,3 butylene glycol, ethylene glycol methacrylate, or polyethylene glycols. In a controlled release matrix formulation, the matrix material may also include, e.g., hydrated methylcellulose, carnauba wax and stearyl alcohol, carbopol 934, silicone, glyceryl tristearate, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, or halogenated fluorocarbon.


The liquid forms in which the compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.


Generally, when administered to a human, the oral dosage of any of the compounds of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will depend on the nature of the compound, and can readily be determined by one skilled in the art. A dosage may be, for example, about 0.001 mg to about 2000 mg per day, about 1 mg to about 1000 mg per day, about 5 mg to about 500 mg per day, about 100 mg to about 1500 mg per day, about 500 mg to about 1500 mg per day, about 500 mg to about 2000 mg per day, or any range derivable therein.


In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may further comprise an additional compound having antiproliferative activity. Depending on the mode of administration, compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, will be formulated into suitable compositions to permit facile delivery. Each compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of a combination therapy may be formulated in a variety of ways that are known in the art. For example, the first and second agents of the combination therapy may be formulated together or separately. Desirably, the first and second agents are formulated together for the simultaneous or near simultaneous administration of the agents.


It will be appreciated that the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be formulated and employed in combination therapies, that is, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated with or administered concurrently with, prior to, or subsequent to, one or more other desired therapeutics or medical procedures. The particular combination of therapies (therapeutics or procedures) to employ in a combination regimen will take into account compatibility of the desired therapeutics or procedures and the desired therapeutic effect to be achieved. It will also be appreciated that the therapies employed may achieve a desired effect for the same disorder, or they may achieve different effects (e.g., control of any adverse effects).


Administration of each drug in a combination therapy, as described herein, can, independently, be one to four times daily for one day to one year, and may even be for the life of the subject. Chronic, long-term administration may be indicated.


In some embodiments, a compound described herein, or a compound of any of formulas I′ or I, or any of the subformulas described herein, or a compound recited in any of the claims, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer or isomer thereof, can promote, enhance, or increase GTP hydrolysis in a RAS mutant protein. Methods of measuring such hydrolysis are known in the art: see, e.g., WO 2024206858, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

b) RAS/MAPK Inhibitors

Compositions and methods described herein may include a compound of the present invention in combination with one or more RAS/MAPK pathway inhibitors. The RAS/MAPK pathway is a signal transduction cascade downstream of various cell surface growth factor receptors in which activation of RAS (and its various isoforms and allotypes) is a central event that drives a variety of cellular effector events that determine the proliferation, activation, differentiation, mobilization, and other functional properties of the cell. SHP2 conveys positive signals from growth factor receptors to the RAS activation/deactivation cycle, which is modulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs, such as SOS1) that load GTP onto RAS to produce functionally active GTP-bound RAS as well as GTP-accelerating proteins (GAPs, such as NF1) that facilitate termination of the signals by conversion of GTP to GDP. GTP-bound RAS produced by this cycle conveys essential positive signals to a series of serine/threonine kinases including RAF and MAP kinases, from which emanate additional signals to various cellular effector functions. In some embodiments, a therapeutic agent that may be combined with a RAS (ON) inhibitor is an inhibitor of the MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway (or “MAPK pathway inhibitor”). MAPK pathway inhibitors include, but are not limited to, one or more MAPK pathway inhibitors described in Cancers (Basel) 2015 September; 7 (3): 1758-1784. For example, the MAPK inhibitor may be selected from one or more of trametinib, binimetinib, selumetinib, cobimetinib, LErafAON (NeoPharm), ISIS 5132; vemurafenib, pimasertib, TAK733, RO4987655 (CH4987655); CI-1040; PD-0325901; CH5126766; MAP855; AZD6244; refametinib (RDEA 119/BAY 86-9766); GDC-0973/XL581; AZD8330 (ARRY-424704/ARRY-704); RO5126766 (Roche, described in PLOS One. 2014 Nov. 25; 9 (11)); and GSK1120212 (or JTP-74057, described in Clin Cancer Res. 2011 Mar. 1; 17 (5): 989-1000). The MAPK pathway inhibitor may be PLX8394, LXH254, GDC-5573, or LY3009120. A MAPK pathway inhibitor may be a PI3Kα: RAS breaker, such as BBO-10203.


i)RAS (OFF) Inhibitors and RAS (OFF) Degraders


Compositions and methods described herein may include a compound of the present invention in combination with one or more RAS (OFF) inhibitors. Numerous mutant-selective and pan-KRAS inhibitors have been disclosed and are known in the art. A RAS (OFF) inhibitor may be administered or formulated in combination with a RAS (ON) inhibitor described herein. RAS (OFF) inhibitors are designed to inhibit RAS activity by targeting different regions of the RAS protein in its inactive state (GDP bound state), preventing its activation and downstream signaling.


In some embodiments, a RAS (OFF) inhibitor is a KRAS (OFF) inhibitor that has a molecular weight of under 700 Da. The term “KRAS (OFF) inhibitor” refers to any RAS (OFF) inhibitor that binds to KRAS in its GDP-bound “OFF” position. In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is specific for a KRASG12C mutation. KRASG12C (OFF) inhibitors use a covalent binding group that allows them to selectively target the KRASG12C mutant protein, and many such inhibitors comprise a pyrimidine core. KRASG12C (OFF) inhibitors all target the same cysteine residue in the KRASG12C mutant protein, leading to a conformational change that locks the protein in an inactive state. KRASG12C (OFF) inhibitors include, but are not limited to, adagrasib (MRTX849), divarasib (RG6330/GDC-6036), fulzerasib (IBI351/GFH925), garsorasib (D-1553), glecirasib (JAB-21822), olomorasib (LY3537982), opnurasib (JDQ443), sotorasib (AMG 510), ARS-853, ARS-1620, BI 1823911, BPI-421286, D3S-001, GEC255, HBI-2438, HS-10370, JAB-21000, JAB-21822, JMKX001899, JNJ-74699157 (ARS-3248), MK-1084 and YL-15293. In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is selected from AMG 510 and MRTX849. In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is sotorasib (AMG 510). In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is adagrasib (MRTX849). In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is divarasib (GDC-6036). In some embodiments, the KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is selected from BPI-421286, JNJ-74699157 (ARS-3248), LY3537982, MRTX1257, ARS853, ARS1620, or GDC-6036.


In some embodiments, a KRAS (OFF) inhibitor is specific for a KRASG12D mutation. Many KRASG12D (OFF) inhibitors have been developed using KRASG12C (OFF) inhibitors as a starting point, thus sharing the backbone of G12C inhibitors in combination with other chemical moieties such as piperazine-based compounds. Non-limiting examples of KRASG12D (OFF) inhibitors include ASP3082, BPI-501836, ERAS-4693, ERAS-5024, HBW-012-D, HBW-012-E, HRS-4642, JAB-22000, KD-8, TSN1611, LY3962673, MRTX282, MRTX1133, Q2a, SHR1127, TH-Z827, TH-Z835, TSN1611, VRTX153 and DN022150.


In some embodiments, the small molecule RAS (OFF) inhibitor is specific for a KRASG12V mutation, such as JAB-23000 or QTX3544. In some embodiments, the small molecule RAS (OFF) inhibitor is specific for a KRASG13D mutation. In some embodiments, the small molecule RAS (OFF) inhibitor is a pan-KRAS (OFF) inhibitor, such as A2A-03, ABREV01, ABT-200, ADT-030, ADT-1004, AN9025, BBP-454, BGB-53038, BI-2865, BI 3706674, ERAS-4, ERAS-254, ERAS-4001, HB-700 (G12X+G13D), JAB-23400, OC211, PF-07934040, QTX3034, RSC-1255, YL-17231 or ZG2001. In some embodiments, the Ras inhibitor is JAB-23400. In some embodiments, the Ras inhibitor is BI-2852. In some embodiments, the Ras inhibitor targets both the ON and OFF states of Ras, such as BBO-11818, JAB-23E73, JAB-23425, JAB-23E73, BBO-8520, FMC-376, GFH375 (VS-7375), INCB161734, QTX3046, TSN1611, or TH-Z835.

In some embodiments, the RAS (OFF) inhibitor is a peptide-based inhibitor. Peptide-based RAS (OFF) inhibitors have been developed that target specific regions of the RAS protein, such as the Switch II region or the RAS-effector interface. Non-limiting examples include the K-Ras-binding peptide (Krpep-2d), the Ras inhibitory peptide (RasIn) and LUNA18 (NCT05012618). Peptide-based RAS (OFF) inhibitors are a class of compounds that target the RAS protein by disrupting its interaction with its downstream effectors or other signaling proteins. These inhibitors are typically designed to mimic the binding motifs of RAS-interacting proteins or other RAS effectors, such as RAF or PI3K. By binding to RAS at the same site as these effectors, peptide-based inhibitors can effectively compete with these proteins and prevent the activation of downstream signaling pathways. See, e.g., WO 2024176153, WO 2024101402, WO 2024101386, WO 2023214576, WO 2023140329, WO 2022234853, WO 2022234852, WO 2022234851, and WO 2022234639, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


Peptide-based RAS (OFF) inhibitors can be further classified into two main categories: those that target the RAS-effector interface, and those that target other regions of the RAS protein. Peptide-based inhibitors that target the RAS-effector interface are designed to bind to the switch regions of RAS that are critical for its interaction with downstream effectors, such as RAF or PI3K. These inhibitors typically contain amino acid residues that are similar to those found in the binding motifs of RAS-interacting proteins or effectors and are often designed to form hydrogen bonds or other interactions with key residues on the surface of RAS.


Peptide-based RAS (OFF) inhibitors that target other regions of the RAS protein are typically designed to disrupt other interactions that are critical for the activation or signaling of RAS. For example, some peptide-based inhibitors are designed to bind to the hypervariable region of RAS, which is thought to play a role in membrane localization and anchoring of the protein. By binding to this region, peptide-based inhibitors can prevent the proper localization of RAS to the plasma membrane, which is necessary for its activation and signaling.


Several common motifs have been identified as important for the binding of RAS-interacting proteins and effectors and are often used in the design of peptide-based inhibitors. One example is the RAF-binding domain (RBD), which is found in many RAS-interacting proteins and is important for the interaction of RAS with downstream effectors such as RAF. The RBD contains a conserved amino acid sequence (Arg-Xaa-Arg) that is critical for binding to RAS, and this motif has been incorporated into several peptide-based inhibitors designed to disrupt the RAS-RAF interaction. Another example is the RAS-binding domain (RBD) of PI3K, which is important for the interaction of RAS with this downstream effector. The RBD of PI3K contains several conserved amino acid residues (such as Arg-Arg-Trp) that are critical for binding to RAS, and these motifs have been used in the design of peptide-based inhibitors that target the RAS-PI3K interaction. Other common motifs used in peptide-based RAS (OFF) inhibitors include the Ras-binding domain (RBD) of other RAS-interacting proteins such as RaIGDS and SOS, as well as sequences that mimic the structure of the switch regions of RAS itself. These motifs are typically used to optimize the binding affinity and selectivity of the inhibitor for the desired target protein or interaction.


In some embodiments, the RAS (OFF) inhibitor is an antibody or antigenic binding peptide specific for RAS (OFF). Antibodies have been developed that bind to specific regions of the RAS protein, such as the Switch II region or the RAS-effector interface. For example, some antibodies have been developed that target the switch regions of RAS proteins, which are critical for the activation of these proteins and their interaction with downstream effectors. Binding of these antibodies to the switch regions can prevent the conformational changes required for RAS activation and downstream signaling. Another approach involves the use of antibodies that target RAS-interacting proteins or downstream effectors, such as RAF or PI3K. Binding of these antibodies to their target proteins can disrupt the RAS-dependent signaling pathways and inhibit the growth and survival of cancer cells. Additionally, some antibodies have been developed that can induce the internalization and degradation of RAS proteins, leading to their depletion and inhibition of downstream signaling. For example, some antibodies have been developed that recognize the unique structure of mutant RAS proteins and target them for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Non-limiting examples of KRAS (OFF)-specific inhibitory antibodies include anti-p21ser, and K27 (DARPin) (see, e.g., Khan et al, Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Res. 2020 February; 1867 (2): 118570). See also WO 2024136608 and WO 2024111590, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

A Claudin-18 targeting agents may be administered or formulated in combination with a compound of the present invention and/or any additional therapeutic agent described herein. Claudin-18 (e.g., claudin 18.2; CLDN18.2) has become a promising target for the treatment of patients with digestive malignancies, such as gastric cancer (GC), gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer, esophageal cancer, and pancreatic cancer, because of its limited expression in healthy tissues and abnormal overexpression in a range of malignancies. Multiple clinical trials of CLDN18.2-targeted therapies, including monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies, are ongoing, with some showing promising early results. Malignant transformation of gastric epithelial tissue leads to disruption of cell polarity and then to exposure of CLDN18.2 epitopes on the cell surface. Although targeted monoclonal antibodies are largely unable to access CLDN18.2 located in tight-junction supramolecular complexes in normal tissue, the perturbations in cell polarity that expose CLDN18.2 epitopes may theoretically enable CLDN18.2 targeted agents to bind to CLDN18.2 in malignant tissues with minimal off-target effects, making CLDN18.2 an attractive target for therapy. In some embodiments, a Claudin-18 targeting agent is one or more of Zolbetuximab, ASKB589, Osemitamab (TST001), PT886 (a bispecific antibody that targets CLDN18.2 and CD47), TJ-CD4B, CMG901 (an ADC that is composed of an antiCLDN18.2 monoclonal antibody joined to a cytotoxic payload, monomethyl auristatin E), and CT041 (autologous T cells genetically engineered to express a CLDN18.2-targeted CAR).

Biological Assays

Disruption of B-Raf Ras-Binding Domain (BRAFRBD) Interaction with K-Ras by Compounds of the Invention (Also Called a FRET Assay or an MOA Assay)


The purpose of this biochemical assay is to measure the ability of test compounds to facilitate ternary complex formation between a nucleotide-loaded K-Ras isoform and cyclophilin A; the resulting ternary complex disrupts binding to a BRAFRBD construct, inhibiting K-Ras signaling through a RAF effector. Data is reported as IC50 values. Other Ras variants may be used.


In assay buffer containing 25 mM HEPES pH 7.3, 0.002% Tween20, 0.1% BSA, 100 mM NaCl and 5 mM MgCl2, tagless cyclophilin A, His6-K-Ras-GMPPNP, and GST-BRAFRBD are combined in a 384-well assay plate at final concentrations of 25 μM, 12.5 nM and 50 nM, respectively. Compound is present in plate wells as a 10-point 3-fold dilution series starting at a final concentration of 30 μM. After incubation at 25° C. for 3 hours, a mixture of Anti-His Eu—W1024 and anti-GST allophycocyanin is then added to assay sample wells at final concentrations of 10 nM and 50 nM, respectively, and the reaction incubated for an additional 1.5 hours. TR-FRET signal is read on a microplate reader (Ex 320 nm, Em 665/615 nm). Compounds that facilitate disruption of a K-Ras: RAF complex are identified as those eliciting a decrease in the TR-FRET ratio relative to DMSO control wells.


Each of Examples A1-A868 and A876-A1196 exhibited an IC50 of less than 1 μM in with respect to K-RasG12V in this assay. Each of Examples A876-A1196 exhibited an IC50 of less than 1 μM in with respect to K-RasG12A in this assay.


Potency Assay: pERK


The purpose of this assay is to measure the ability of test compounds to inhibit K-Ras in cells. Activated K-Ras induces increased phosphorylation of ERK at Threonine 202 and Tyrosine 204 (PERK). This procedure measures a decrease in cellular pERK in response to test compounds. The procedure described below in Capan-1 cells is applicable to K-RasG12V.


Note: This protocol may be executed substituting other cell lines to characterize inhibitors of other RAS variants, including, for example, NCI-H358 (K-Ras G12C), AsPC-1 (K-Ras G12D), Capan-1 (K-Ras G12V), or NCI-H1355 (K-Ras G13C).


Cells are grown and maintained using media and procedures recommended by the ATCC. On the day prior to compound addition, cells are plated in 384-well cell culture plates (40 μl/well) and grown overnight in a 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator. Test compounds are prepared in 10, 3-fold dilutions in DMSO, with a high concentration of 10 mM. On the day of assay, 40 nL of test compound is added to each well of cell culture plate using an Echo550 liquid handler (LabCyte®). Concentrations of test compound are tested in duplicate. After compound addition, cells are incubated 4 hours at 37° C., 5% CO2. Following incubation, culture medium is removed, and cells are washed once with phosphate buffered saline.


In some experiments, cellular pERK level is determined using the AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra p-ERK1/2 Assay Kit (PerkinElmer). Cells are lysed in 25 μL lysis buffer, with shaking at 600 RPM at room temperature. Lysate (10 μL) is transferred to a 384-well Opti-plate (PerkinElmer) and 5 μL acceptor mix is added. After a 2-hour incubation in the dark, 5 μL donor mix is added, plate is sealed, and incubated 2 hours at room temperature. Signal is read on an Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer) using standard AlphaLISA settings. Analysis of raw data is carried out in Excel (Microsoft) and Prism (GraphPad). Signal is plotted vs. the decadal logarithm of compound concentration, and IC50 is determined by fitting a 4-parameter sigmoidal concentration response model.


In other experiments, cellular pERK is determined by In-Cell Western. Following compound treatment, cells are washed twice with 200 μL tris buffered saline (TBS) and fixed for 15 minutes with 150 μL 4% paraformaldehyde in TBS. Fixed cells are washed 4 times for 5 minutes with TBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 (TBST) and then blocked with 100 μL Odyssey blocking buffer (LI-COR) for 60 minutes at room temperature. Primary antibody (PERK, CST-4370, Cell Signaling Technology) is diluted 1:200 in blocking buffer, and 50 μL is added to each well and incubated overnight at 4° C. Cells are washed 4 times for 5 minutes with TBST. Secondary antibody (IR-800CW rabbit, LI-COR, diluted 1:800) and DNA stain DRAQ5 (LI-COR, diluted 1:2000) are added and incubated 1-2 hours at room temperature. Cells are washed 4 times for 5 minutes with TBST. Plates are scanned on a Li—COR Odyssey CLx Imager. Analysis of raw data is carried out in Excel (Microsoft) and Prism (GraphPad). Signal is plotted vs. the decadal logarithm of compound concentration, and IC50 is determined by fitting a 4-parameter sigmoidal concentration response model.


Each of Examples A1-A868, A983, A1076, A1078-A1081, A1083, A1086, A1091-A1092, A1099-A1102, A1104, A1106-A1110, A1112-A117, A1121-A1135, A1140-A1143, A1154-A1156, A1168, A1174, A1176-A1180, A1187-A1189, A1191, and A1193-A1196 exhibited an IC50 of less than 650 nM with respect to K-RasG12V (Capan-1) in at least one of the assays noted above. Each of Examples A876-A925, A927-A1023, A1025-A1036, A1038-A1081, A1083-A1110, A1112-A1129, and A1131-1196 exhibited an IC50 of less than 750 nM with respect to NCI-H1975.


Determination of Cell Viability in RAS Mutant Cancer Cell Lines
Protocol: CellTiter-Glo® Cell Viability Assay

Note—The following protocol describes a procedure for monitoring cell viability of K-Ras mutant cancer cell lines in response to a compound of the invention. Other RAS isoforms may be employed, though the number of cells to be seeded will vary based on cell line used.


The purpose of this cellular assay is to determine the effects of test compounds on the proliferation of human cancer cell lines (e.g., MIA PaCa-2 KRAS G13C A12 (K-Ras G13C), NCI-H358 (K-Ras G12C), AsPC-1 (K-Ras G12D), and Capan-1 (K-Ras G12V)) over a 5-day treatment period by quantifying the amount of ATP present at endpoint using the CellTiter-Glo@ 2.0 Reagent (Promega). Cells are seeded at 250 cells/well in 40 μL of growth medium in 384-well assay plates and incubated overnight in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37° C. On the day of the assay, 10 mM stock solutions of test compounds are first diluted into 3 mM solutions with 100% DMSO. Well-mixed compound solutions (15 μL) are transferred to the next wells containing 30 μL of 100% DMSO and repeated until a 9-concentration 3-fold serial dilution is made (starting assay concentration of 10 μM). Test compounds (132.5 nL) are directly dispensed into the assay plates containing cells. Alternatively, test compounds are prepared in 9 point, 3-fold dilutions in DMSO, with a high concentration of 10, 1 or 0.1 mM and on the day of the assay, test compounds (40 nL) are directly dispensed into the assay plates containing cells. The plates are shaken for 15 seconds at 300 rpm, centrifuged, and incubated in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37° C. for 5 days. On day 5, assay plates and their contents are equilibrated to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. CellTiter-Glo® 2.0 Reagent (25 μL) is added, and plate contents are mixed for 2 minutes on an orbital shaker before incubation at room temperature for 10 minutes. Luminescence is measured using the PerkinElmer Enspire. Data are normalized by the following: (Sample signal/Avg. DMSO)*100. The data are fit using a four-parameter logistic fit.


Using the conditions above, each of Examples A1-A868 displayed a greater decrease in cell viability with respect to KRASG12V (Capan-1) versus wild-type KRAS (A375). Each of Examples A876-A1196 displayed a greater decrease in cell viability with respect to Capan-1 and/or NCI-H2009 versus wild-type KRAS (A375).
