Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is an important biological determinant of protein production and cellular differentiation and plays a significant pathogenic role in a number of human diseases.
Epigenetic regulation involves heritable modification of genetic material without changing its nucleotide sequence. Typically, epigenetic regulation is mediated by selective and reversible modification (e.g., methylation) of DNA and proteins (e.g., histones) that control the conformational transition between transcriptionally active and inactive states of chromatin. These covalent modifications can be controlled by enzymes such as methyltransferases (e.g., CARM1 (co-activator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1; PRMT4)), many of which are associated with specific genetic alterations that can cause human disease.
Disease-associated chromatin-modifying enzymes play a role in diseases such as proliferative disorders, autoimmune disorders, muscular disorders, and neurological disorders. Thus, there is a need for the development of small molecules that are capable of inhibiting the activity of CARM1.

The total number of significant decimal digits in a number or percentage does not affect the precision and accuracy of the number or percentage. For example, the numbers “100” and “100.0” are used interchangeably.
When a characteristic peak of an X-ray powder diffraction pattern is expressed in “degrees 2-theta (±0.2)” at Z, where Z is a number, the characteristic peak is at between Z+0.2 and Z−0.2 degrees 2-theta, inclusive.
The term “about X,” where X is a number or percentage, refers to a number or percentage that is between 99.5% and 100.5%, between 99% and 101%, between 98% and 102%, between 97% and 103%, between 96% and 104%, between 95% and 105%, between 92% and 108%, or between 90% and 110%, inclusive, of X.

The term “salt” refers to ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base (e.g., compound 109-3). A salt is composed of one or more cations (positively charged ions) and one or more anions (negative ions) so that the salt is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts of the compounds include those derived from inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, or organic acids, such as gentisic acid, or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Inorganic acids include hydrogen chloride, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid. Additional organic acids include acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, L-tartaric acid, R-tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, malic acid, and malonic acid.

Further salts include ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. In certain embodiments, the salt is a gentisate.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, 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, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound (e.g., compound 109-3) is a salt described herein, e.g., a gentisate.
The term “solvate” refers to a form of a compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt or co-crystal thereof, that is associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, isopropanol, THF, and acetone. In certain embodiments, solvates are formed using Class 3 solvent(s). Categories of solvents are defined in, for example, the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), “Impurities: Guidelines for Residual Solvents, Q3C (R3), (November 2005). A compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt or co-crystal thereof, may be prepared, e.g., in an amorphous or crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate are capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Solvates includes both solution-phase and isolable solvates. In certain embodiments, the solvate is a hydrate. In certain embodiments, the solvate is a methanolate (methanol solvate) or isopropanolate (isopropanol solvate). In certain embodiments, the solvate is an acetone solvate or THF solvate.
The term “stoichiometric solvate” refers to a solvate, which comprises a compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt thereof, and a solvent, wherein the solvent molecules are an integral part of the crystal lattice, in which they interact strongly with the compound, or a salt or co-crystal thereof, and each other. The removal of the solvent molecules will cause instability of the crystal network, which subsequently collapses into an amorphous phase or recrystallizes as a new crystalline form with reduced solvent content.
The term “non-stoichiometric solvate” refers to a solvate, which comprises a compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt or co-crystal thereof, and a solvent, wherein the solvent content may vary without major changes in the crystal structure. The amount of solvent in the crystal lattice only depends on the partial pressure of solvent in the surrounding atmosphere. In the fully solvated state, non-stoichiometric solvates may, but not necessarily have to, show an integer molar ratio of solvent to the compound, or salt or co-crystal thereof. During drying of a non-stoichiometric solvate, a portion of the solvent may be removed without significantly disturbing the crystal network, and the resulting solvate can subsequently be resolvated to give the initial crystalline form. Unlike stoichiometric solvates, the desolvation and resolvation of non-stoichiometric solvates is not accompanied by a phase transition, and all solvation states represent the same crystal form.
The term “hydrate” refers to a compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt or co-crystal thereof, that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound, or a salt or co-crystal thereof, is in a definite ratio to the number of molecules of the compound, or a salt or co-crystal thereof, in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound, or a salt or co-crystal thereof, may be represented, for example, by the general formula R·x H2O, wherein R is the compound, or salt or co-crystal thereof, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound, or a salt or co-crystal thereof, may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R·0.5 H2O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R·2 H2O) and hexahydrates (R·6 H2O)).
The term “crystalline” or “crystalline form” refers to a solid form substantially exhibiting three-dimensional order. In certain embodiments, a crystalline form of a solid is a solid form that is substantially not amorphous. In certain embodiments, the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of a crystalline form includes one or more sharply defined peaks.
The term “amorphous” or “amorphous form” refers to a form of a solid (“solid form”), the form lacking long-range order. In certain embodiments, an amorphous form of a solid is a solid form that is substantially not crystalline. In certain embodiments, the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of an amorphous form includes a wide scattering band with a peak at 2θ of, e.g., between 20 and 70° , inclusive, using CuKα radiation. In certain embodiments, the XRPD pattern of an amorphous form further includes one or more peaks attributed to crystalline structures. In certain embodiments, the maximum intensity of any one of the one or more peaks attributed to crystalline structures observed at a 2θ of between 20 and 70°, inclusive, is not more than 300-fold, not more than 100-fold, not more than 30-fold, not more than 10-fold, or not more than 3-fold of the maximum intensity of the wide scattering band. In certain embodiments, the XRPD pattern of an amorphous form includes no peaks attributed to crystalline structures.
The term “co-crystal” refers to a crystalline structure comprising at least two different components (e.g., compound 109-3 and an acid), wherein each of the components is independently an atom, ion, or molecule. In certain embodiments, none of the components is a solvent. In certain embodiments, at least one of the components is a solvent. A co-crystal comprising compound 109-3 and an acid is different from a salt formed from compound 109-3 and the acid. In a salt, compound 109-3 is complexed with the acid in a way that proton transfer (e.g., a complete proton transfer) from the acid to compound 109-3 easily occurs at room temperature. In a co-crystal, however, compound 109-3 is complexed with the acid in a way that proton transfer from the acid to compound 109-3 does not easily occur at room temperature. In certain embodiments, of a co-crystal, there is no proton transfer from the acid to compound 109-3. In certain embodiments of a co-crystal, there is partial proton transfer from the acid to compound 109-3. Co-crystals may be useful to improve the properties (e.g., solubility, stability, and ease of formulation) of compound 109-3.
The term “impurity” refers to extraneous matter included in a desired substance (e.g., a compound (e.g., compound 109-3), or a salt, solvate, hydrate, co-crystal, amorphous form, or crystalline form thereof). Extraneous matter includes one or more substances that are different from the desired substance. In certain embodiments, the extraneous matter is undesired extraneous matter. For example, when the desired substance is an anhydrous compound, a solvent (e.g., water) included in or with the anhydrous compound is an impurity. When the desired substance is a crystalline compound, an amorphous form of the compound included in or with the crystalline compound is an impurity. When the desired substance is a certain solid form of a compound, a different solid form of the compound included in or with the solid form of the compound is an impurity. When the desired substance is a salt of a compound, a different salt of the compound included in or with the salt of the compound is an impurity. The term “substantially free of impurities” means that a desired substance does not contain a significant amount of extraneous matter (e.g., undesired extraneous matter). What amount of the extraneous matter constitutes a significant amount depends on the subject matter and is understood in the art. In certain embodiments, at least 0.5%, at least 1%, at least 2%, at least 3%, at least 4%, at least 5%, or at least 10% by weight of extraneous matter in the desired substance is a significant amount of extraneous matter. The amount of impurities may be determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with, e.g., an ultraviolet (UV) detector at, e.g., about 214 or about 220 nm. Under suitable conditions, a desired substance and each impurity are separated after HPLC, and the areas of the peaks of the resulting HPLC chromatogram may be determined. In certain embodiments, the weight ratio of the amount of an impurity to the amount of a desired substance is the ratio of the peak area of the impurity to the peak area of the desired substance.
A “subject” to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e., male or female of any age group, e.g., pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., primate (e.g., cynomolgus monkey or rhesus monkey), commercially relevant mammal (e.g., cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, cat, or dog), or bird (e.g., commercially relevant bird, such as chicken, duck, goose, or turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or amphibian. The non-human animal may be a male or female at any stage of development. The non-human animal may be a transgenic animal or genetically engineered animal. A “patient” refers to a human subject in need of treatment of a disease.
The terms “administer,” “administering,” or “administration” refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound, or a salt, co-crystal, amorphous form, or crystalline form thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, in or on a subject.
The terms “in combination” and “co-administration” can be used interchangeably to refer to the use of more than one therapy (e.g., one or more prophylactic and/or therapeutic agents). The use of the terms does not restrict the order in which therapies (e.g., prophylactic and/or therapeutic agents) are administered to a subject.
The terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a “pathological condition” (e.g., a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more signs or symptoms thereof). In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease or condition. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms. Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.

In general, such preparatory methods include the steps of bringing a salt, co-crystal, amorphous form, or crystalline form described herein (the “active ingredient”) into association with a carrier and/or one or more other accessory ingredients, and then, if necessary and/or desirable, shaping and/or packaging the product into a desired single- or multi-dose unit.
Pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared, packaged, and/or sold in bulk, as a single unit dose, and/or as a plurality of single unit doses. As used herein, a “unit dose” is discrete amount of the pharmaceutical composition comprising a predetermined amount of the active ingredient. The amount of the active ingredient is generally equal to the dosage of the active ingredient which would be administered to a subject and/or a convenient fraction of such a dosage, such as, for example, one-half or one-third of such a dosage.
Relative amounts of the active ingredient, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, and/or any additional ingredients in a pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure will vary, depending upon the identity, size, and/or condition of the subject treated and further depending upon the route by which the composition is to be administered. By way of example, the composition may comprise between 0.1% and 100% (w/w) active ingredient.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, and crystalline forms described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.
Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may comprise buffering agents.
Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

In certain embodiments, the subject is a cancer patient.
In some embodiments, a salt, co-crystal, amorphous form, crystalline form, or pharmaceutical composition described herein is useful in treating a proliferative disorder, such as cancer. For example, while not being bound to any particular mechanism, protein arginine methylation by CARM1 is a modification that has been implicated in signal transduction, gene transcription, DNA repair and mRNA splicing, among others; and overexpression of CARM1 within these pathways is often associated with various cancers. Thus, the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and pharmaceutical compositions, which inhibit the action of PRMTs, and specifically CARM1, are effective in the treatment of cancer.
In some embodiments, the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and pharmaceutical compositions described herein are effective in treating cancer through the inhibition of CARM1. For example, CARM1 levels have been shown to be elevated in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) (e.g., see Di Lorenzo et al., Drugs (2010) 70:983-1000), as well as in aggressive breast tumors (Hong et al., Cancer 2004 101, 83-89; El Messaoudi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2006, 103, 13351-13356; Majumder et al., Prostate 2006 66, 1292-1301). Thus, in some embodiments, inhibitors of CARM1, such as such as the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, and crystalline forms described herein, are useful in treating cancers associated with aberrant CARM1 activity, e.g., CARM1 overexpression or aberrant protein methylation. For example, aberrant CARM1 activity has been found in prostate cancer (e.g., see Hong et al., Cancer (2004), 101:83-89); plays a coactivator role in the dysragulation of beta-catenin activity in colorectal cancer (e.g., see Ou et al., Mol. Cancer Res. (2011) 9:660); and has been linked to estrogen signaling and estrogen related cancers such as breast cancer (see, e.g., Teyssiewr et al., Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (2010) 21:181-189). CARM1 has also been shown to affect estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) dependent breast cancer cell differentiation and proliferation (Al-Dhaheri et al., Cancer Res. 2011 71, 2118-2128), thus in some aspects CARM1 inhibitors, such as the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, and crystalline forms described herein, are useful in treating ERα-dependent breast cancer by inhibiting cell differentiation and proliferation. In another example, CARM1 has been shown to be recruited to the promoter of E2F1 (which encodes a cell cycle regulator) as a transcriptional co-activator (Frietze et al., Cancer Res. 2008 68, 301-306). Thus, CARM1-mediated upregulation of E2F1 expression may contribute to cancer progression and chemoresistance as increased abundance of E2F1 triggers invasion and metastasis by activating growth receptor signaling pathways, which in turn promote an antiapoptotic tumor environment (Engelmann and Püitzer, Cancer Res 2012 72; 571). Accordingly, in some embodiments, the inhibition of CARM1, e.g., by the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and pharmaceutical compositions described herein, is useful in treating cancers associated with E2F1 upregulation, e.g., such as lung cancer (see, e.g., Eymin et al., Oncogene (2001) 20:1678-1687), and breast cancer (see, e.g., Brietz et al., Cancer Res. (2008) 68:301-306). Thus, without being bound by any particular mechanism, the inhibition of CARM1, e.g., by the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and pharmaceutical compositions described herein, is beneficial in the treatment of cancer. CARM1 overexpression has also been demonstrated to be elevated in 75% of colorectal cancers (Kim et al., BMC Cancer, 10, 197). It has been additionally been determined that depletion of CARM1 in WNT/β-catenin dysregulated colorectal cancer suppressed anchorage independent growth (Ou et al., Mol. Cancer. Res., 2011 9, 660-670). This, in some embodiments, the inhibition of CARM1, e.g. by the salts, co-crystals, amorphous forms, crystalline forms, and pharmaceutical compositions described herein, is useful in colorectal cancer associated with elevated CARM1 expression or dysregulated WNT/β-catenin signaling.
