The present disclosure relates to compounds comprising a Bcl-xL inhibiting moiety covalently linked to a degradation signaling moiety (DSM) that binds to a degradation protein or degradation protein complex, e.g., an E3 ubiquitin ligase or an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions useful in the treatment of cancers that are responsive to decrease in Bcl-xL expression and/or activity.
Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway essential for tissue homeostasis, development and removal of damaged cells. Deregulation of apoptosis contributes to human diseases, including malignancies, neurodegenerative disorders, diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases (Hanahan and Weinberg, Cell. 2011 Mar. 4; 144(5):646-74; Marsden and Strasser, Annu Rev Immunol. 2003; 21:71-105; Vaux and Flavell, Curr Opin Immunol. 2000 December; 12(6):719-24). Evasion of apoptosis is recognized as a hallmark of cancer, participating in the development as well as the sustained expansion of tumors and the resistance to anti-cancer treatments (Hanahan and Weinberg, Cell. 2000 Jan. 7; 100(1):57-70).
The Bcl-2 protein family comprises key regulators of cell survival which can suppress (e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1) or promote (e.g., Bad, Bax) apoptosis (Gross et al., Genes Dev. 1999 Aug. 1; 13(15):1899-911, Youle and Strasser, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2008 January; 9(1):47-59). In the face of stress stimuli, whether a cell survives or undergoes apoptosis is dependent on the extent of pairing between the Bcl-2 family members that promote cell death with family members that promote cell survival. For the most part, these interactions involve the docking of the Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) domain of proapoptotic family members into a groove on the surface of pro-survival members. The presence of Bcl-2 homology (BH) domain defines the membership of the Bcl-2 family, which is divided into three main groups depending upon the particular BH domains present within the protein. The prosurvival members such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1 contain BH domains 1-4, whereas Bax and Bak, the proapoptotic effectors of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization during apoptosis, contain BH domains 1-3 (Youle and Strasser, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2008 January; 9(1):47-59).
Overexpression of the prosurvival members of the Bcl-2 family is a hallmark of cancer and it has been shown that these proteins play an important role in tumor development, maintenance and resistance to anticancer therapy (Czabotar et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2014 January; 15(1):49-63). Bcl-xL (also named BCL2L1, from BCL2-like 1) is frequently amplified in cancer (Beroukhim et al., Nature 2010 Feb. 18; 463(7283):899-905) and it has been shown that its expression inversely correlates with sensitivity to more than 120 anti-cancer therapeutic molecules in a representative panel of cancer cell lines (NCI-60) (Amundson et al., Cancer Res. 2000 Nov. 1; 60(21):6101-10).
In addition, several studies using transgenic knockout mouse models and transgenic overexpression of Bcl-2 family members highlighted the importance of these proteins in the diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases (for a review, see Merino et al., Apoptosis 2009 April; 14(4):570-83. doi: 10.1007/s10495-008-0308-4.PMID: 19172396). Transgenic overexpression of Bcl-xL within the T-cell compartment resulted in resistance to apoptosis induced by glucocorticoid, g-radiation and CD3 crosslinking, suggesting that transgenic Bcl-xL overexpression can reduce apoptosis in resting and activated T-cells (Droin et al., Biochim Biophys Acta 2004 Mar. 1; 1644(2-3):179-88. doi: 10.1016/j.bbamcr.2003.10.011. PMID: 14996502).
In patient samples, persistent or high expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins has been observed (Pope et al., Nat Rev Immunol. 2002 July; 2(7):527-35. doi: 10.1038/nri846.PMID: 12094227). In particular, T-cells isolated from the joints of rheumatoid arthritis patients exhibited increased Bcl-xL expression and were resistant to spontaneous apoptosis (Salmon et al., J Clin Invest. 1997 Feb. 1; 99(3):439-46. doi: 10.1172/JCI119178.PMID: 9022077). The use of BH3 mimetics has also shown benefit in pre-clinical models of diseases of the immune system and autoimmune diseases. Treatment with ABT-737 (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Bcl-w inhibitor) resulted in potent inhibition of lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Importantly, mice treated with ABT-737 in animal models of arthritis and lupus showed a significant decrease in disease severity (Bardwell et al., J Clin Invest. 1997 Feb. 1; 99(3):439-46. doi: 10.1172/JCI119178.PMID: 9022077). In addition, it has been shown that ABT-737 prevented allogeneic T-cell activation, proliferation, and cytotoxicity in vitro and inhibited allogeneic T- and B-cell responses after skin transplantation with high selectivity for lymphoid cells (Cippa et al., Transpl Int. 2011 July; 24(7):722-32. doi: 10.1111/j.1432-2277.2011.01272.x. Epub 2011 May 25.PMID: 21615547).
The findings indicated above motivated the discovery and development of a new class of drugs named BH3 mimetics. These molecules are able to disrupt the interaction between the proapoptotic and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family and are potent inducers of apoptosis. This new class of drugs includes inhibitors of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Bcl-w and Mcl-1. The first BH3 mimetics described were ABT-737 and ABT-263, targeting Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bcl-w (Park et al., J. Med. Chem. 2008 Nov. 13; 51(21):6902-15; Roberts et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Feb. 10; 30(5):488-96). After that, selective inhibitors of Bcl-2 (ABT-199 and S55746—Souers et al., Nat Med. 2013 February; 19(2):202-8; Casara et al., Oncotarget 2018 Apr. 13; 9(28):20075-20088), Bcl-xL (A-1155463 and A-1331852—Tao et al., ACS Med Chem Lett. 2014 Aug. 26; 5(10):1088-93; Leverson et al., Sci Transl Med. 2015 Mar. 18; 7(279):279ra40) and Mcl-1 (A-1210477, S63845, S64315, AMG-176 and AZD-5991—Leverson et al., Cell Death Dis. 2015 Jan. 15; 6:e1590.; Kotschy et al., Nature 2016, 538, 477-482; Maragno et al., AACR2019, Poster #4482; Kotschy et al., WO 2015/097123; Caenepeel et al., Cancer Discov. 2018 December; 8(12):1582-1597; Tron et al., Nat. Commun. 2018 Dec. 17; 9(1):5341) were also discovered. The selective Bcl-2 inhibitor ABT-199 is now approved for the treatment of patients with CLL and AML in combination therapy, while the other inhibitors are still under pre-clinical or clinical development. In pre-clinical models, ABT-263 has shown activity in several hematological malignancies and solid tumors (Shoemaker et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2008 Jun. 1; 14(11):3268-77; Ackler et al., Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 2010 October; 66(5):869-80; Chen et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2011 December; 10(12):2340-9). In clinical studies, ABT-263 exhibited objective antitumor activity in lymphoid malignancies (Wilson et al., Lancet Oncol. 2010 December; 11(12):1149-59; Roberts et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Feb. 10; 30(5):488-96) and its activity is being investigated in combination with several therapies in solid tumors. The selective Bcl-xL inhibitors, A-1155463 or A-1331852, exhibited in vivo activity in pre-clinical models of T-ALL (T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) and different types of solid tumors (Tao et al., ACS Med. Chem. Lett. 2014 Aug. 26; 5(10):1088-93; Leverson et al., Sci. Transl. Med. 2015 Mar. 18; 7(279):279ra40). The Mcl-1 selective inhibitors have shown promising in vivo activity in several types of hematological cell malignancies in preclinical models and three of them, S64315, AMG176 and AZD5991, are currently being investigated in clinical trials (Yang et al., Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2019 May 8; 177:63-75). Therefore, BH3 mimetics represent a highly attractive approach for the development of novel therapies in oncology and in the field of immune and autoimmune diseases.
To further the development of alternative BH3 mimetics, a new approach could involve their use as both protein binders and inhibitors. Indeed BH3 mimetics, and more specifically Bcl-xL inhibitors due to the medical need, can be upgraded by converting their mechanism of action from inhibition to degradation via PROTAC (Proteolysis-targeting chimeras). These degraders are small molecules including (i) a ligand targeting a protein of interest (BH3) to be degraded, (ii) an E3 ubiquitin ligase recruitment ligand (mainly Cereblon (CRBN) or Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) ligands), and (iii) a chemical linker connecting the two ligands. Upon PROTAC-mediated heterodimerization of the two bound proteins, the target protein is ubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome (Sakamoto et al., PNAS 2001 17; 98(15):8554-8559; Schneekloth et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004 31; 126(12): 3748-3754.).
This method has several advantages. First, potency could be improved by using the potential benefit from the catalytic process of the PROTAC approach compared to a stoichiometric inhibition (Bondeson et al., Cell Chem. Biol. 2018 Jan. 18; 25(1):78-87; Qin et al., J. Med. Chem. 2018 61(15) 6685-6704). Moreover, selectivity can be achieved due to the site-specific expression of E3 ligases (Schapira et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2019 December; 18(12):949-963). Finally, the first PROTAC ARV-110 entered in clinical trials in Q1-2019. This orally available compound is designed to degrade the androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer. Another compound (ARV-471) designed to degrade the Estrogen receptor also entered in clinical trials in Q3-2019.
Several BH3 mimetics have been converted into PROTACs to date, such as Bcl-xL/Bcl-2 dual inhibitors (DT2216 and XZ-739 based on ABT-263 scaffold, Khan et al., Nat Med 2019 December; 25(12):1938-1947; Zhang et al., Eur. J. of Med. Chem. 2020 Apr. 15; 192:112186), Bcl-xL inhibitors (XZ-424 based on A-1155463 scaffold, Zhang et al., Chem. Commun. 2019 Dec. 5; 55(98):14765-14768), Mcl-1 inhibitors (dMCL1-2 based on A-1210477 scaffold, Papatzimas et al., J. Med. Chem. 2019 62(11):5522-5540), and Bcl-2/Mcl-1 dual inhibitors (Wang et al., J. Med. Chem. 2019 Sep. 12; 62(17):8152-8163). Interestingly, because VHL and CRBN E3 ligases are minimally expressed in platelets, a Bcl-xL PROTAC based on ABT-263 can selectively induce Bcl-xL degradation in various cancer cells but not in platelets; thus, potentially sparing dose-limiting platelet toxicity.
Therefore, BH3 mimetics-based degraders represent a highly attractive approach for developing novel therapies in oncology and in the field of immune and autoimmune diseases. In particular, a need exists for potent PROTACs that selectively degrade the Bcl-xL protein. As described herein, the present disclosure fulfills this need.

Other exemplary excipients include, but are not limited to, calcium bicarbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, ethylene-vinyl acetate co-polymer particles, and surfactants, including, for example, polysorbate 20.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt,” as used herein, refers to a salt which does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the compounds of the present disclosure, and does not cause significant irritation to a subject to which it is administered. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to: (a) acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and the like; and salts formed with organic acids, for example, acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, palmitic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, polygalacturonic acid, and the like; and (b) salts formed from elemental anions such as chlorine, bromine, and iodine. See, e.g., Haynes et al., “Commentary: Occurrence of Pharmaceutically Acceptable Anions and Cations in the Cambridge Structural Database,” J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, vol. 94, no. 10 (2005), and Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, vol. 66, no. 1 (1977), which are incorporated by reference herein.
In some embodiments, depending on their electronic charge, the PROTAC compounds, linkers, Bcl-xL inhibitors and linker-Bcl-xL inhibitors described herein can contain a monovalent anionic counterion M1−. Any suitable anionic counterion can be used. In certain embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion is a pharmaceutically acceptable monovalent anionic counterion. In certain embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion M1− can be selected from bromide, chloride, iodide, acetate, trifluoroacetate, benzoate, mesylate, tosylate, triflate, formate, or the like. In some embodiments, the monovalent anionic counterion M1− is trifluoroacetate or formate.
As used herein, the term “therapeutically effective amount” or “therapeutically effective dose,” refers to an amount of a compound described herein, e.g., a PROTAC compound or composition described herein, to effect the desired therapeutic result (i.e., reduction or inhibition of an enzyme or a protein activity, amelioration of symptoms, alleviation of symptoms or conditions, delay of disease progression, a reduction in tumor size, inhibition of tumor growth, prevention of metastasis).
In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount does not induce or cause undesirable side effects. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount induces or causes side effects but only those that are acceptable by a treating clinician in view of a patient's condition. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is effective for detectable killing, reduction, and/or inhibition of the growth or spread of cancer cells, the size or number of tumors, and/or other measure of the level, stage, progression and/or severity of a cancer. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells, e.g., a reduction, slowing, or inhibition of cell growth.
A therapeutically effective amount can be determined by first administering a low dose, and then incrementally increasing that dose until the desired effect is achieved. A therapeutically effective amount can also vary depending upon the intended application (in vitro or in vivo), or the subject and disease condition being treated, e.g., the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The specific amount may vary depending on, for example, the particular pharmaceutical composition, the subject and their age and existing health conditions or risk for health conditions, the dosing regimen to be followed, the severity of the disease, whether it is administered in combination with other agents, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the physical delivery system in which it is carried. In the case of cancer, a therapeutically effective amount of a PROTAC compound may reduce the number of cancer cells, reduce tumor size, inhibit (e.g., slow or stop) tumor metastasis, inhibit (e.g., slow or stop) tumor growth, and/or relieve one or more symptoms.
As used herein, the term “prophylactically effective amount” or “prophylactically effective dose,” refers to an amount of a compound disclosed herein, e.g., a PROTAC compound or composition described herein, that is effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount. In some embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount can prevent the onset of disease symptoms, including symptoms associated with a cancer.
The PROTAC compounds of the present disclosure include those with anti-cancer activity. In particular, the PROTAC compounds include a degradation signaling moiety (DSM) conjugated (i.e., covalently attached by a linker) to a drug moiety (e.g., a Bcl-xL inhibitor), wherein the drug moiety when not conjugated to a DSM has a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. In some embodiments, the drug moiety when not conjugated to a DSM is capable of reducing the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof. Without being bound by theory, by targeting Bcl-xL expression and/or activity, in some embodiments, the PROTAC compounds disclosed herein may provide potent anti-cancer agents. Also, without being bound by theory, by conjugating the drug moiety to a DSM that binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase, the PROTAC compound may provide improved activity, better cytotoxic specificity, and/or reduced off-target killing as compared to the drug moiety when administered alone.
In some embodiments, therefore, the components of the PROTAC compounds are selected to (i) retain one or more therapeutic properties exhibited by the DSM in isolation, (ii) maintain the specific binding properties of the DSM; (iii) allow delivery, e.g., intracellular delivery, of the drug moiety via stable attachment to the DSM; (iv) retain PROTAC compound stability as an intact compound until transport or delivery to a target site; (v) allow for the therapeutic effect, e.g., cytotoxic effect, of the drug moiety after cleavage or other release mechanism in the cellular environment; (vi) exhibit in vivo anti-cancer treatment efficacy comparable to or superior to that of the DSM and drug moieties in isolation; (vii) minimize off-target killing by the drug moiety; and/or (viii) exhibit desirable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties, formulatability, and toxicologic/immunologic profiles. Each of these properties may provide for a PROTAC compound for therapeutic use (Ab et al. (2015) Mol Cancer Ther. 14:1605-13).
Provided herein, in certain aspects, are PROTAC compounds comprising a degradation signaling moiety (DSM), a Bcl-xL inhibitor drug moiety (D), and a linker moiety (L) that covalently attaches DSM to D.

For example, LD50, ED50, EC50, and IC50 may be determined, and the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects (LD50/ED50) may be calculated as the therapeutic index. The data obtained from in vitro and in vivo assays can be used in estimating or formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. For example, the compositions and methods disclosed herein may initially be evaluated in xenogeneic cancer models (e.g., an NCI-H929 multiple myeloma mouse model).
In some embodiments, a compound disclosed herein or a composition comprising a compound is administered on a single occasion. In other embodiments, a compound or composition comprising the compound is administered on multiple occasions. Intervals between single dosages can be, e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. Intervals can also be irregular, based on measuring blood levels of the administered agent (e.g., the compound) in the patient in order to maintain a relatively consistent plasma concentration of the agent. The dosage and frequency of administration of a compound or composition comprising the compound may also vary depending on whether the treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. In prophylactic applications, a relatively low dosage may be administered at relatively infrequent intervals over a long period of time. Some patients continue to receive treatment for the rest of their lives. In therapeutic applications, a relatively higher dosage at relatively shorter intervals is sometimes required until progression of the disease is reduced or terminated, and preferably until the patient shows partial or complete amelioration of one or more symptoms of disease. Thereafter, the patient may be administered a lower, e.g., prophylactic regime.
In some embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure may be administered in an amount effective to sensitize tumor cells to one or more additional therapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy.

It is known that elevated Bcl-xL expression correlates with resistance to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Compounds of the present disclosure that may not be sufficiently effective as monotherapy to treat cancer can be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents (including non-targeted and targeted therapeutic agents) or radiation therapy (including radioligand therapy) to provide therapeutic benefit. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the linked-drug conjugates described herein may sensitize tumor cells to the treatment with other therapeutic agents (including standard of care chemotherapeutic agents to which the tumor cells may have developed resistance) and/or radiation therapy. In some embodiments, compounds described herein, are administered to a subject having cancer in an amount effective to sensitize the tumor cells. As used herein, the term “sensitize” means that the treatment with the compound increases the potency or efficacy of the treatment with other therapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy against tumor cells.
Disclosed herein are methods of using the compositions described herein in treating a subject for a disorder, e.g., a cancer. Compound and compositions of the present disclosure may be administered alone or in combination with at least one additional inactive and/or active agent, e.g., at least one additional therapeutic agent, and may be administered in any pharmaceutically acceptable formulation, dosage, and dosing regimen. Treatment efficacy may be evaluated for toxicity as well as indicators of efficacy and adjusted accordingly. Efficacy measures include, but are not limited to, a cytostatic and/or cytotoxic effect observed in vitro or in vivo, reduced tumor volume, tumor growth inhibition, and/or prolonged survival.
In certain aspects, the present disclosure features a method of killing, inhibiting or modulating the growth of a cancer cell or tissue by disrupting the expression and/or activity of Bcl-xL and/or one or more upstream modulators or downstream targets thereof. The method may be used with any subject where disruption of Bcl-xL expression and/or activity provides a therapeutic benefit. Subjects that may benefit from disrupting Bcl-xL expression and/or activity include, but are not limited to, those having or at risk of having a cancer such as a tumor or a hematological cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a breast cancer, multiple myeloma, plasma cell myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, gastric cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, bladder cancer, brain cancer, bone marrow cancer, cervical cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, lymphoblastic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, lymphoid malignancies of T-cell or B-cell origin, melanoma, myelogenous leukemia, myeloma, oral cancer, ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer, or spleen cancer. In some embodiments, the cancer is a lymphoma or gastric cancer.
Exemplary methods include the steps of contacting a cell with a compound or composition described herein, in an effective amount, i.e., an amount sufficient to kill the cell. The method can be used on cells in culture, e.g., in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo, or in situ. For example, cells (e.g., cells collected by biopsy of a tumor or metastatic lesion; cells from an established cancer cell line; or recombinant cells), can be cultured in vitro in culture medium and the contacting step can be affected by adding the compound or composition to the culture medium. Alternatively, the compound or composition can be administered to a subject by any suitable administration route (e.g., intravenous, subcutaneous, or direct contact with a tumor tissue) to have an effect in vivo.
The in vivo effect of a therapeutic composition disclosed herein can be evaluated in a suitable animal model. For example, xenogeneic cancer models can be used, wherein cancer explants or passaged xenograft tissues are introduced into immune compromised animals, such as nude or SCID mice (Klein et al. (1997) Nature Med. 3:402-8). Efficacy may be predicted using assays that measure inhibition of tumor formation, tumor regression or metastasis, and the like.
In vivo assays that evaluate the promotion of tumor death by mechanisms such as apoptosis may also be used. In some embodiments, xenografts from tumor bearing mice treated with the therapeutic composition can be examined for the presence of apoptotic foci and compared to untreated control xenograft-bearing mice. The extent to which apoptotic foci are found in the tumors of the treated mice provides an indication of the therapeutic efficacy of the composition.

The BCL-xL degrader compounds were tested against two endogenous cancer cell lines:
The ability of the BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo© proliferation assay.
Cell lines were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, adherent cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded for the assay.
The COR-105 cell line was seeded in white, clear bottom 384-well TC treated plates (Corning cat. #3765). Cells were seeded at a density of 1,000 cells per well in 45 μL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator. The NCI-H1650 cell line was seeded in black, clear round bottom 384-well ultra-low attachment spheroid microplates (Corning cat. #3830). Cells were seeded at a density of 3,000 cells per weill in 45 uL of standard growth media. Plates were spun in a centrifuge for 5 minutes and 1,000 RPM. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37° C. for 72 hours in a tissue culture incubator.
On the day of dosing, BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were prepared at 10× in standard growth media. The prepared drug treatments were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 0.508 nM-10 μM and a final volume of 50 μL per well. Each drug concentration was tested in quadruplets. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37° C. for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator.
For COR-L105 plates, cell viability was assessed through the addition of 25 μL of CellTiter Glo® (Promega, cat #G7573), a reagent which lyses cells and measures total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading with a luminescence reader (EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader, PerkinElmer). For NCI-H1650 plates, cell viability was assessed through the addition of 40 μL of CellTiter Glo® 3D Cell Viability Assay substrate (Promega, cat #G9681), a reagent which lyses cells and measures total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. Wells were mixed thoroughly and plates were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a luminescence reader (EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader, PerkinElmer).
To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% viability) were used to normalize treated samples. A variable slope model was applied to fit a nonlinear regression curve to the data in GraphPad PRISM version 7.02 software. IC50 and Amax values were extrapolated from the resultant curves. The concentrations of treatment required to inhibit 50% of cell growth or survival (IC50) were calculated with representative IC50 values of the cell lines tested summarized in Table 11.
The representative cancer cell lines were shown to be sensitive to BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds with IC50 values ranging from 2.821 nM-greater than 1 μM activity. These studies indicate that BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were capable of inhibiting cell proliferation on various cancer cell lines.
The BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were tested against two endogenous cancer cell lines:
The ability of the BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds to degrade endogenous BCL-xL was assessed using the ProteinSimple 2-40 kDa Jess Separation Module.
Cell lines were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the degradation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, adherent cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded for the assay.
The COR-L105 and the NCI-H1650 cell line were seeded in 6-well clear TC-treated multiple well plates (Costar® cat. #3516). Cells were seeded at a density of 2,000,000 cells per well in 2.5 mL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator. On the day of dosing, BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds and a BCL-xL inhibitor control were prepared at 6× in standard growth media. The prepared drug treatments were then added to the cells resulting in a final concentration of 100-300 nM and a final volume of 3.0 mL per well. A control well of untreated cells was also included in the study. Each drug concentration was tested in singlet. Plates were incubated at 5% CO2, 37° C. for 24 hours in a tissue culture incubator.
After 24 hours, the adherent cells were lifted off tissue culture plates using 0.25% trypsin. Standard growth media was added to quench the trypsin and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1500 rpm. Cell pellets were washed once with cold PBS and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1500 rpm. Cells were then washed with 1 mL cold PBS and transferred to a 1.5 mL eppendorf tube. Cells were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 10,000 g at 4° C. in a benchtop mini-centrifuge. The entire supernatant was discarded and cells were resuspended thoroughly in 50 μL of RIPA lysis buffer, generated by the manufacturer's protocol (ProteinSimple, Cat. #CBS401: Lysis Kit-RIPA Buffer for Charge Assays). Lysates were incubated on ice for 30 minutes. Following incubation, lysates were spun in a benchtop mini-centrifuge for 15 minutes at full speed at 4° C. Supernatant was carefully transferred to a new eppendorf tube for downstream analysis.
Protein was quantified using a Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoFisher, Cat® 23225) following the manufacturer's instructions. A standard curve was prepared by adding 25 μL of each concentration of reference samples from a Pierce™ Bovine Serum Albumin Standard Pre-Diluted Set (ThermoFisher, cat #23208). Each reference sample was run in duplicate. Testing samples were prepared by diluting cell lysates 1:5 in UltraPure™ DNase/RNase-Free Distilled Water and tested in duplicates of 25 μL each. The BCA working reagent was prepared by addition of 50 parts of BCA Reagent A with 1 part of BCA Reagent B. For each testing well, 200 μL of BCA working reagent was added. The plate was incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. A SpectraMax M Series Multi-Mode Microplate Reader was used to measure the absorbance at 562 nm. A standard curve generated by the Pierce™ Bovine Serum Albumin Standard Pre-Diluted Set was used to normalize and calculate the BCA concentration of cell lysates. Only values that fell within the range of the standard curve were accepted for quantification.
The ProteinSimple 2-40 kDa Jess Separation Module was used to detect BCL-xL degradation in treated versus untreated lysates following the manufacturer's instructions (25-Capillary Cartridge, 8 pack, 2-40 kDa, cat #SM W012). Samples were diluted to 1.5 mg/mL in 0.1× Sample Buffer provided by the kit in a total volume of 20 μL. One part 5× Fluorescent Master Mix was combined with four parts diluted lysate for a total volume of 25 μL. Samples were mixed and then denatured at 95° C. for 5 minutes. Samples were stored on ice following denaturation. A Ready-to-use Biotinylated Ladder was prepared following the manufacturer's instructions (EZ Standard Pack, 8 pack, 2-40 kDa, cat #PS-ST05EA). Prepared ladder and samples were loaded into the assay plate following the manufacturer's instructions.
A primary antibody master mix was prepared by diluting anti-BCLxL [54H6] Rabbit mAb (Cell Signaling Technology, cat #2764) 1:50 and anti-COX IV (4D11-B3-E8) Mouse mAb (Cell Signaling Technology, cat #11967) 1:10 in Antibody Diluent 2 (ProteinSimple, cat #042-203). The prepared primary antibody master mix was loaded into the assay plate following the manufacturer's instructions.
A secondary conjugate master mix was prepared by diluting 20× Anti-Mouse NIR Antibody (ProteinSimple cat #043-821) 1:20 in Anti-Rabbit Secondary (ProteinSimple, cat #042-206). A streptavidin-NIR ladder (ProteinSimple, cat #043-816) was used for detection of COX IV while Chemiluminescence was used to detect BCL-xL. The secondary conjugate master mix and the streptavidin-NIR ladder were loaded into the assay plate following the manufacturer's instructions.
COR-L105 samples were run across three assay plates on three JESS Detection Modules simultaneously. Two samples, COR-L105+300 nM GBR627 (BCL-xL low molecular weight degrader) and COR-L105+300 nM EPS706 (BCL-xL inhibitor control) were included in each assay plate in order to be used as controls across instruments and runs to confirm assay robustness. Reagents were dispensed into the assay plate following the manufacturer's instructions. The plate was centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. The desired assay parameters were chosen on the JESS Detection Module to detect NIR and Chemiluminescent signal.
Data was analyzed using Compass for Simple Western Software. For each sample, the amount of BCL-xL was normalized to COX IV for a given sample as determined by the ratio of the area of the Chemiluminescent band at 30 kDa (BCL-xL) to the area of the NIR band at 17 kDa (COX IV). The percent of BCL-xL was calculated by an additional normalization of treated samples to untreated control. The percent of BCL-xL was calculated for the two sample controls, COR-L105+300 nM GBR627 and COR-L105+300 nM EPS706, run across the three assay plates (Table 12). The coefficient of variation (% CV) was calculated for each sample across the three assay plates (% CV=Standard Deviation/Mean)*100). The % CV for both control samples were determined to be within an allowable range to confirm the run results were accurate across instruments and assay plates (<10%). BCL-xL degradation in the representative cancer cell lines COR-L105 and NCI-H1650, when treated with various BCL-xL low molecular weight degrader compounds relative to an untreated cell line controls is summarized in Table 13.
The amount of endogenous BCL-xL remaining after treatment with BCL-xL degrader compounds ranged from 12.06% to greater than 100%. The BCL-xL inhibitor control did not induce BCL-xL degradation with detected BCL-xL levels of 118.33% relative to untreated control. Less than 50% of BCL-xL was detected when COR-L105 was dosed with 12 out of the 22 compounds tested. Example 51 was the most potent degrader, with 12.06% BCL-xL remaining relative to untreated control after 24 hours at a 300 nM dose. Three BCL-xL degrader compounds did not have a degradation effect, with >90% BCL-xL remaining versus untreated control: Example 36, Example 49 and Example 35.
These studies indicate that BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were capable of degrading endogenous BCL-xL in a representative cancer cell line.
The MTT colorimetric assay is based on the mitochondrial reduction of tetrazolium salt by living cells. The viable cell number is proportional to the production of formazan salts, which can be read spectrophotometrically at 540 nm. The CTG luminescent assay (CellTiter GLO, Promega) is based on a reagent which lyses cells and measures total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content. The viable cell number is proportional to the production of ATP.
MOLT-4 cells were purchased from ATCC and cultivated in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 IU/mi), streptomycin (100 μg/ml) and L-glutamine (2 mM). Cells were cultured at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.
For MTT assay, cells were seeded in 96 microwell plates (150 μL per well) and exposed to the compounds for 48 h (3.16 fold serially diluted; 9 concentrations each, triplicates). At the end of incubation time, 15 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/ml) were added per well and the cells were incubated for another 4 h. Then, 100 μL of 10% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)/HCl 10 mM were added per well and the plate was incubated overnight, before measurement of optical density at 540 nm.
For CTG assay, cells were seeded in 384 microwell plates (40 μL per well) and exposed to the compounds for 48 h (11-point serial dilution with 5-fold factor, triplicates). At the end of incubation time, 40 μL of CTG solution were added per well. Wells were mixed thoroughly, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a luminescence reader (PHERAStar FSX Reader, BMG Labtech).
IC50s were calculated using standard four-parametric curve fitting. IC50 is defined as the compound concentration at which the MTT or CTG signal is reduced to 50% of that measured for the control. Results shown in Table 14 represent the mean of at least 2 independent experiments.
As shown in Table 14, all the tested compounds are active and induced a decrease in the viability of MOLT-4 cells in MTT and/or CTG assay.
HCT116 cells were purchased from ATCC and cultivated in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 IU/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml) and L-glutamine (2 mM). Cells were cultured at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Cells were seeded in 96 microwell plates, 24 h later cells were treated with compounds (2-point 10/100 nM and/or 9-point serial dilution to determine DC50 quadruplicates) during 24 h and harvested in lysis buffer containing 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.4% TritonX100, protease and phosphatase inhibitors cocktails (Calbiochem).
Protein concentration in the supernatants was determined using the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lysates (1.5 μg/μL) were analyzed using an automated capillary electrophoresis WES system with 2-40 kDa Wes Separation Module (25 capillary cartridges, Proteinsimple), in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. Antibodies against the following proteins were used: Bcl-xL (#2764, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:50) and cofilin (#5175, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:1000). Signals were detected with an HRP-conjugated secondary anti-rabbit antibody (#042-206, Proteinsimple) and were quantified using Compass software (version 4.0, Proteinsimple).
Bcl-xL level was calculated by normalizing Bcl-xL values to cofilin and expressed as a percentage of the normalized value of the untreated cells. DC50 were calculated using standard four-parametric curve fitting. DC50 is defined as the compound concentration at which Bcl-xL is reduced to 50% of that measured for the control. Measured levels of Bcl-xL protein of HCT116 cells treated with the tested compounds at 2-point 10 nM/100 nM and/or 9-point for DC50 determination are shown in Table 15.
As shown in Table 15, all the tested compounds induced a decrease in the level of Bcl-xL protein of HCT116 cells in WES assay.
The ability of the BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo® proliferation assay on the EBC-1 lung cancer cell line (RCB1965, obtained from RIKEN.) The cells were cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the proliferation assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded in white clear bottom 384-well plates (Greiner cat #781098) at a density of 1000 cells per well in 50 μL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
The BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were prepared to desired concentrations. A series of 10 dilutions were made for each prepared compound. The prepared compounds were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 0.508 nM-10 μM. An acoustic transfer device (Echo555, Beckman Coulter) was used to add the compounds to the cells. Each treatment was tested in triplicate assay plates. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight or for 5 days in a tissue culture incubator. The ability of the compounds to inhibit cell proliferation and survival was assessed using the Promega CellTiter-Glo® proliferation assay. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a multimode plate reader (PHERAstar FSX Microplate Reader, BMG Labtech).
To evaluate the effect of the compound treatments, luminescent counts of untreated cells were taken the day after seeding (Day 0 readings), and after 5 days of treatment (Day 5 readings). The Day 5 readings of the untreated cells were compared to the Day 0 readings. Assays with at least one cell doubling during the incubation period were considered valid. To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% viability) were used to normalize treated samples. The concentrations of treatment required to inhibit 50% of cell growth or survival (G150) were calculated using a four parameter logistic regression equation.
The ability of the BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds to degrade BCL-xL protein was assessed using the Promega Nano-Glo® HiBiT Lytic Detection System. The NCI-H1650 (ATCC No. CRL-5883) was engineered to express HiBiT-tagged BCL-xL. The NCI-H1650 HiBiT cell line was cultured in media that is optimal for their growth at 5% CO2, 37° C. in a tissue culture incubator. Prior to seeding for the protein level assay, the cells were split at least 2 days before the assay to ensure optimal growth density. On the day of seeding, cells were lifted off tissue culture flasks using 0.25% trypsin. Cell viability and cell density were determined using a cell counter (Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer, Beckman Coulter). Cells with higher than 85% viability were seeded in white clear bottom 384-well plates (Greiner cat #781098) at a density of 5000 cells per well in 30 μL of standard growth media. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
The BCL-xL degrader low molecular weight compounds were prepared to desired concentrations. A series of 10 dilutions were made for each prepared compound. The prepared compounds were then added to the cells resulting in final concentrations of 0.508 nM-10 μM. An acoustic transfer device (Echo555, Beckman Coulter) was used to add the compounds to the cells. Each treatment was tested in triplicate assay plates. Plates were incubated at 37° C. overnight in a tissue culture incubator.
BCL-xL degradation was assessed through the addition of 30 μL of Nano-Glo® HiBiT Lytic Reagent (Promega, cat #N3040), a reagent which lyses cells and contains a furimazine substrate and the large subunit (LgBiT) used in NanoLuc® Binary Technology. The LgBiT subunit having high affinity to a HiBiT-tagged protein will bind HiBiT, if present, resulting in complex formation of a luminescent NanoBiT® enzyme. This reaction will emit a luminescent signal proportional to the amount of HiBiT-tagged BCL-xL present in the cell lysate. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to stabilize luminescent signals prior to reading using a luminescence reader (PHERAstar FSX Microplate Reader, BMG Labtech).
To evaluate the effect of the drug treatments, luminescent counts from wells containing untreated cells (100% HiBiT-tagged BCL-xL) were used to normalize treated samples. The concentrations of treatment required to inhibit 50% were calculated using a four parameter logistic regression equation.
