Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women today with nearly 200,000/1.7 million new cases diagnosed in the US/worldwide each year respectively. Since about 70% of breast tumors are positive for the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)—a key oncogenic driver in this subset of tumors—several classes of therapies have been developed to antagonize ERα function, including 1) selective estrogen receptor downregulators (SERDs) of which fulvestrant is an example, 2) selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) of which tamoxifen is an example and 3) aromatase inhibitors that reduce systemic levels of estrogen. These therapies have been largely effective in the clinic reducing occurrence and progression of ERα+ breast tumors. However there are on-target liabilities associated with these different classes of compounds. For example, tamoxifen has been shown to activate signaling activity in the endometrium leading to an increase in risk of endometrial cancers in the clinic (Fisher et al., (1994) J Natl Cancer Inst. April 6; 86(7):527-37; van Leeuwen et al., (1994) Lancet February 19:343(8895):448-52). In contrast, since fulvestrant is a pure antagonist, it can lead to loss of bone density in post-menopausal women as ERα activity is critical for bone building. In addition to on-target side effects, clinical resistance is also beginning to emerge to these classes of ERα antagonists highlighting the need to develop next-generation compounds.
Several mechanisms of resistance have been identified using in vitro and in vivo models of resistance to various endocrine therapies. These include increased ERα/HER2 “crosstalk” (Shou et al., (2004)J Natl Cancer Inst. June 16; 96(12):926-35), aberrant expression of ERα coactivators/corepressors (Osbome et al., (2003) J Natl Cancer Inst. March 5; 95(5):353-61) or loss of ERα altogether to allow ER-independent growth (Osbome C K, Schiff R (2011) Annu Rev Med 62: 233-47).
In the hopes of identifying clinically relevant mechanisms of resistance, great effort has also recently gone into deeply characterizing the genetics of endocrine-therapy resistant metastases isolated from patients. Several independent labs have recently published the multitude of genetic lesions observed in the resistant vs the primary tumors (Li et al., (2013) Cell Rep. September 26; 4(6): 1116-30; Robinson et al., (2013) Nat Genet. December; 45(12): 1446-51; Toy et al., (2013) Nat Genet. 2013 December; 45(12): 1439-45). Among these are the highly recurrent mutations in the ligand-binding domain of ESR1 (gene which encodes ERα protein) found to be significantly enriched in about 20% of resistant tumors relative to endocrine therapy naïve tumors (Jeselsohn et al., (2014) Clin Cancer Res. April 1; 20(7): 1757-67; Toy et al., (2013) Nat Genet. 2013 December; 45(12): 1439-45; Robinson et al., (2013) Nat Genet. December; 45(12): 1446-51; Merenbakh-Lamin et al., (2013) Cancer Res. December 1; 73(23):6856-64; Yu et al., (2014) Science July 11; 345(6193):216-20; Segal and Dowsett (2014). Clin Cancer Res April 1:20(7):1724-6), suggesting the potential for these mutations to functionally drive clinical resistance. In contrast to the enrichment in ESR1 mutations observed in therapy-resistant tumors, mutations in other cancer-related genes failed to show such a robust enrichment strongly implying the importance of ERα mutations in promoting resistance (Jeselsohn et al., (2014) Clin Cancer Res. April 1:20(7):1757-67).
ER+ breast cancer patients on average are treated with seven independent therapies including chemotherapies and various anti-estrogen therapies such as tamoxifen, fulvestrant and aromatase inhibitors. Recent genomic profiling has revealed that the ERα pathway remains a critical driver of tumor growth in the resistant setting as activating mutations in ERα have emerged. Thus, it is critical that more potent ER-directed therapies be developed that can overcome resistance in the clinical setting. Hence, there is a need for novel compounds that can potently suppress the growth of both wild-type (WT) and ER α-mutant positive tumors.
Most inhibitory drug interactions with cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes are reversible, but in some cases the inhibitory effect increases over time and is not promptly reversible. This effect is due to irreversible covalent binding or quasi-irreversible noncovalent tight binding of a chemically reactive intermediate to the enzyme that catalyzes its formation. This class of inhibitory drug interactions is called Time-Dependent Inhibition (“TDI”). When TDI is the mode of inhibition, the inhibitory interaction will generally be greater over time following multiple dosing and be longer lasting after discontinuation of the inhibitor than in a situation when the inhibitory interaction is reversible. Therefore, TDI should be studied in standard in vitro screening protocols by pre-incubating the drug (a potential inhibitor) before the addition of a substrate (Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance: Cf. fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidances/ucm292362.pdf (FDA guidance, In Vitro Metabolism-and Transporter-Mediated Drug-Drug Interaction Studies. Draft Guidance, Oct. 24, 2017)). Whether an investigational drug inhibits CYP enzymes is usually investigated in vitro using human liver tissues such as human liver microsomes to determine the inhibition mechanisms (e.g., reversible or TDI) and inhibition potency. Id.
Citing to Grimm et al., (“The conduct of in vitro studies to address time-dependent inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes: a perspective of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America,” Drug Metab Dispos. 37:1355-1370, 2009), the FDA recently described how pharmaceutical companies should evaluate investigational drugs for TDI potential. In particular, the FDA indicated that pharmaceutical companies “should routinely study TDI in standard in vitro screening protocols by pre-incubating the investigational drug (e.g., for at least 30 min) before adding any substrate. Any significant time-dependent and co-factor-dependent (e.g., NADPH for CYPs) loss of initial product formation may indicate TDI. In these circumstances, the sponsor should conduct definitive in vitro studies to obtain TDI parameters (i.e., kinact and KI).” See FDA guidance, In Vitro Metabolism-and Transporter-Mediated Drug-Drug Interaction Studies Guidance for Industry, Draft Guidance. Oct. 24, 2017, pg. 24, lines 854-858.
Patients frequently use more than one medication at a time. Unanticipated, unrecognized, or mismanaged drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality associated with prescription drug use and have occasionally caused the withdrawal of approved drugs from the market. Determination of an investigational drug's potential to inhibit CYPs in both a reversible manner (i.e., reversible inhibition) and time-dependent manner (i.e., TDI) will allow for better characterization of potentially clinically relevant DDI. Hence, there is a need to identify and develop investigational drugs that further mitigate or remove the TDI potential.

In certain embodiments, a straight chain or branched alkynyl group has six or fewer carbon atoms in its backbone (e.g., C2-C6 for straight chain, C3-C6 for branched chain). The term “C2-C6” includes alkynyl groups containing two to six carbon atoms. The term “C3-C6” includes alkynyl groups containing three to six carbon atoms.
The term “optionally substituted alkynyl” refers to unsubstituted alkynyl or alkynyl having designated substituents replacing one or more hydrogen atoms on one or more hydrocarbon backbone carbon atoms. Such substituents may include, for example, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, halogen, hydroxyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, arylcarbonyloxy, alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, carboxylate, alkylcarbonyl, arylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, aminocarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, alkylthiocarbonyl, alkoxyl, phosphate, phosphonato, phosphinato, amino (including alkylamino, dialkylamino, arylamino, diarylamino and alkylarylamino), acylamino (including alkylcarbonylamino, arylcarbonylamino, carbamoyl and ureido), amidino, imino, sulfhydryl, alkylthio, arylthio, thiocarboxylate, sulfates, alkylsulfinyl, sulfonato, sulfamoyl, sulfonamido, nitro, trifluoromethyl, cyano, azido, heterocyclyl, alkylaryl, or an aromatic or heteroaromatic moiety.

For example, substituted heterocycloalkyl includes those substituted with one or more alkyl groups, such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidinyl and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinyl.
“Aryl” includes groups with aromaticity, including “conjugated,” or multicyclic systems with at least one aromatic ring and do not contain any heteroatom in the ring structure. Examples include phenyl, benzyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl, etc.
“Heteroaryl” groups are aryl groups, as defined above, except having from one to four heteroatoms in the ring structure, and may also be referred to as “aryl heterocycles” or “heteroaromatics.” As used herein, the term “heteroaryl” is intended to include a stable 5-, 6-, or 7-membered monocyclic or 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11- or 12-membered bicyclic aromatic heterocyclic ring which consists of carbon atoms and one or more heteroatoms, e.g., 1 or 1-2 or 1-3 or 1-4 or 1-5 or 1-6 heteroatoms, or e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 heteroatoms, independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. The nitrogen atom may be substituted or unsubstituted (i.e., N or NR′ wherein R′ is H or other substituents, as defined).
The nitrogen and sulfur heteroatoms may optionally be oxidized (i.e., N—O and S(O)p, where p=1 or 2). It is to be noted that total number of S and O atoms in the aromatic heterocycle is not more than 1.

Aryl and heteroaryl groups may also be fused with alicyclic or heterocyclic rings, which are not aromatic so as to form a multicyclic system (e.g., tetralin, methylenedioxyphenyl).
When a bond to a substituent is shown to cross a bond connecting two atoms in a ring (as shown by the examples below with substituent R), then such substituent may be bonded to any atom in the ring.
When any variable (e.g., R1) occurs more than one time in any constituent or formula for a compound, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown to be substituted with 0-2 R1 moieties, then the group may optionally be substituted with up to two R1 moieties and R1 at each occurrence is selected independently from the definition of R1.
The term “hydroxy” or “hydroxyl” includes groups with an —OH or —O−.

“Isomerism” means compounds that have identical molecular formulae but differ in the sequence of bonding of their atoms or in the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereoisomers,” and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers” or sometimes optical isomers. A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is termed a “racemic mixture.” A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a “chiral center.”
“Chiral isomer” means a compound with at least one chiral center. Compounds with more than one chiral center may exist either as an individual diastereomer or as a mixture of diastereomers, termed “diastereomeric mixture.” When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer may be characterized by the absolute configuration (R or S) of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked in accordance with the Sequence Rule of Cahn, Ingold and Prelog. (Calm et al., Angew. Chem. Inter. Edit. 1966, 5, 385: errata 511; Cahn et al., Angew. Chem. 1966, 78, 413; Cahn and Ingold, J. Chem. Soc. 1951 (London), 612; Calm et al., Experientia 1956, 12, 81; Cahn, J. Chem. Educ. 1964, 41, 116).
In the present specification, each incidence of a chiral center within a structural formula, such as the non-limiting example shown here:
is meant to depict all possible stereoisomers. In contrast, a chiral center drawn with hatches and wedges, such as the non-limiting example shown here:
is meant to depict the stereoisomer as indicated (here in this sp3 hybridized carbon chiral center, R3 and R4 are in the plane of the paper, R1 is above the plane of paper, and R2 is behind the plane of paper).
“Geometric isomer” means the diastereomers that owe their existence to hindered rotation about double bonds or a cycloalkyl linker (e.g., 1,3-cyclobutyl). These configurations are differentiated in their names by the prefixes cis and trans, or Z and E, which indicate that the groups are on the same or opposite side of the double bond in the molecule according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.
In the present specification, each incidence within a structural formula including a wavy line adjacent to a double bond as shown:
is meant to depict both geometric isomers. In contrast, such structures drawn without a wavy line is meant to depict a compound having the geometric configuration as drawn.
“Tautomer” is one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and is readily converted from one isomeric form to another. This conversion results in the formal migration of a hydrogen atom accompanied by a switch of adjacent conjugated double bonds. Tautomers exist as a mixture of a tautomeric set in solution. In solutions where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of the tautomers will be reached. The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent and pH. The concept of tautomers that are interconvertable by tautomerizations is called tautomerism.
Where the present specification depicts a compound prone to tautomerization, but only depicts one of the tautomers, it is understood that all tautomers are included as part of the meaning of the chemical depicted. It is to be understood that the compounds disclosed herein may be depicted as different tautomers. It should also be understood that when compounds have tautomeric forms, all tautomeric forms are intended to be included, and the naming of the compounds does not exclude any tautomer form.
Of the various types of tautomerism that are possible, two are commonly observed. In keto-enol tautomerism a simultaneous shift of electrons and a hydrogen atom occurs. Ring-chain tautomerism arises as a result of the aldehyde group (—CHO) in a sugar chain molecule reacting with one of the hydroxy groups (—OH) in the same molecule to give it a cyclic (ring-shaped) form as exhibited by glucose.
Common tautomeric pairs are: ketone-enol, amide-nitrile, lactam-lactim, amide-imidic acid tautomerism in heterocyclic rings (e.g., in nucleobases such as guanine, thymine and cytosine), imine-enamine and enamine-enamine.
Furthermore, the structures and other compounds disclosed herein include all atropic isomers thereof, it being understood that not all atropic isomers may have the same level of activity. “Atropic isomers” are a type of stereoisomer in which the atoms of two isomers are arranged differently in space. Atropic isomers owe their existence to a restricted rotation caused by hindrance of rotation of large groups about a central bond. Such atropic isomers typically exist as a mixture, however as a result of recent advances in chromatography techniques, it has been possible to separate mixtures of two atropic isomers in select cases.
The term “crystal polymorphs”, “polymorphs” or “crystal forms” means crystal structures in which a compound (or a salt or solvate thereof) may crystallize in different crystal packing arrangements, all of which have the same elemental composition. Different crystal forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectral, melting points, density hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Crystal polymorphs of the compounds may be prepared by crystallization under different conditions. It is understood that the compounds disclosed herein may exist in crystalline form, crystal form mixture, or anhydride or hydrate thereof.
The compounds disclosed herein include the compounds themselves, as well as their salts and solvates, if applicable. A salt, for example, may be formed between an anion and a positively charged group (e.g., amino) on an aryl- or heteroaryl-substituted benzene compound. Suitable anions include chloride, bromide, iodide, sulfate, bisulfate, sulfamate, nitrate, phosphate, citrate, methanesulfonate, trifluoroacetate, glutamate, glucuronate, glutarate, malate, maleate, succinate, fumarate, tartrate, tosylate, salicylate, lactate, naphthalenesulfonate, and acetate (e.g., trifluoroacetate). The term “pharmaceutically acceptable anion” refers to an anion suitable for forming a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Likewise, a salt may also be formed between a cation and a negatively charged group (e.g., carboxylate) on an aryl- or heteroaryl-substituted benzene compound. Suitable cations include sodium ion, potassium ion, magnesium ion, calcium ion, and an ammonium cation such as tetramethylammonium ion. The aryl- or heteroaryl-substituted benzene compounds also include those salts containing quaternary nitrogen atoms.
Additionally, the compounds disclosed herein, for example, the salts of the compounds, may exist in either hydrated or unhydrated (the anhydrous) form or as solvates with other solvent molecules.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines, alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids, and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts include the conventional non-toxic salts or the quaternary ammonium salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. For example, such conventional non-toxic salts include, but are not limited to, those derived from inorganic and organic acids selected from 2-acetoxybenzoic, 2-hydroxyethane sulfonic, acetic, ascorbic, benzene sulfonic, benzoic, bicarbonic, carbonic, citric, edetic, ethane disulfonic, 1,2-ethane sulfonic, fumaric, glucoheptonic, gluconic, glutamic, glycolic, glycollyarsanilic, hexylresorcinic, hydrabamic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, hydroiodic, hydroxymaleic, hydroxynaphthoic, isethionic, lactic, lactobionic, lauryl sulfonic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methane sulfonic, napsylic, nitric, oxalic, pamoic, pantothenic, phenylacetic, phosphoric, polygalacturonic, propionic, salicyclic, stearic, subacetic, succinic, sulfamic, sulfanilic, sulfuric, tannic, tartaric, toluene sulfonic, and the commonly occurring amine acids, e.g., glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, arginine, etc.

The present disclosure also encompasses salts formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound either is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion; or coordinates with an organic base such as ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like. In the salt form, it is understood that the ratio of the compound to the cation or anion of the salt may be 1:1, or any ratio other than 1:1, e.g., 3:1, 2:1, 1:2, or 1:3.
It should be understood that all references to pharmaceutically acceptable salts include solvent addition forms (solvates) or crystal forms (polymorphs) as defined herein, of the same salt.
“Solvate” means solvent addition forms that contain either stoichiometric or non stoichiometric amounts of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thus forming a solvate. If the solvent is water the solvate formed is a hydrate; and if the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. Hydrates are formed by the combination of one or more molecules of water with one molecule of the substance in which the water retains its molecular state as H2O.
Chemicals as named or depicted are intended to include all naturally occurring isotopes of atoms occurring in the present compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

As used herein, the term “alleviate” is meant to describe a process by which the severity of a sign or symptom of a disorder is decreased. Importantly, a sign or symptom may be alleviated without being eliminated. In a preferred embodiment, the administration of pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein leads to the elimination of a sign or symptom, however, elimination is not required. Effective dosages are expected to decrease the severity of a sign or symptom. For instance, a sign or symptom of a disorder such as cancer, which may occur in multiple locations, is alleviated if the severity of the cancer is decreased within at least one of multiple locations.
As used herein, the term “severity” is meant to describe the potential of cancer to transform from a precancerous, or benign, state into a malignant state. Alternatively, or in addition, severity is meant to describe a cancer stage, for example, according to the TNM system (accepted by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) and the Amerimay Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)) or by other art-recognized methods. Cancer stage refers to the extent or severity of the cancer, based on factors such as the location of the primary tumor, tumor size, number of tumors, and lymph node involvement (spread of cancer into lymph nodes). Alternatively, or in addition, severity is meant to describe the tumor grade by art-recognized methods (see, National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov). Tumor grade is a system used to classify cancer cells in terms of how abnormal they look under a microscope and how quickly the tumor is likely to grow and spread. Many factors are considered when determining tumor grade, including the structure and growth pattern of the cells. The specific factors used to determine tumor grade vary with each type of cancer. Severity also describes a histologic grade, also called differentiation, which refers to how much the tumor cells resemble normal cells of the same tissue type (see, National Cancer Institute. www.cancer.gov). Furthermore, severity describes a nuclear grade, which refers to the size and shape of the nucleus in tumor cells and the percentage of tumor cells that are dividing (see, National Cancer Institute, www.cancer.gov).
In another aspect of embodiments described herein, severity describes the degree to which a tumor has secreted growth factors, degraded the extracellular matrix, become vascularized, lost adhesion to juxtaposed tissues, or metastasized. Moreover, severity describes the number of locations to which a primary tumor has metastasized. Finally, severity includes the difficulty of treating tumors of varying types and locations. For example, inoperable tumors, those cancers which have greater access to multiple body systems (hematological and immunological tumors), and those which are the most resistant to traditional treatments are considered most severe. In these situations, prolonging the life expectancy of the subject and/or reducing pain, decreasing the proportion of cancerous cells or restricting cells to one system, and improving cancer stage/tumor grade histological grade/nuclear grade are considered alleviating a sign or symptom of the cancer.
As used herein the term “symptom” is defined as an indication of disease, illness, injury, or that something is not right in the body. Symptoms are felt or noticed by the individual experiencing the symptom, but may not easily be noticed by non-health-care professionals.
A “pharmaceutical composition” is a formulation containing a compound disclosed herein in a form suitable for administration to a subject. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is in bulk or in unit dosage form. The unit dosage form is any of a variety of forms, including, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single pump on an aerosol inhaler or a vial. The quantity of active ingredient (e.g., a formulation of the disclosed compound or salt, hydrate, solvate or isomer thereof) in a unit dose of composition is an effective amount and is varied according to the particular treatment involved. One skilled in the art will appreciate that it is sometimes necessary to make routine variations to the dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration. A variety of routes are contemplated, including oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalational, buccal, sublingual, intrapleural, intrathecal, intranasal, and the like. Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound disclosed herein include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. In one embodiment, the active compound is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that are required.
As used herein, the phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to those compounds, anions, cations, materials, compositions, carriers, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit-risk ratio.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means an excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes excipient that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. A “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such excipient.
The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising any compound disclosed herein in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier.
A pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral, e.g., intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), and transmucosal administration. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or subcutaneous application may include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates, and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The pH may be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation may be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
A compound or pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein may be administered to a subject in many of the well-known methods currently used for chemotherapeutic treatment. For example, for treatment of cancers, a compound disclosed herein may be injected directly into tumors, injected into the blood stream or body cavities or taken orally or applied through the skin with patches. The dose chosen should be sufficient to constitute effective treatment but not so high as to cause unacceptable side effects. The state of the disease condition (e.g., cancer, precancer, and the like) and the health of the patient should preferably be closely monitored during and for a reasonable period after treatment.
The term “therapeutically effective amount”, as used herein, refers to an amount of a pharmaceutical agent to treat, ameliorate, or prevent an identified disease or condition, or to exhibit a detectable therapeutic or inhibitory effect. The effect may be detected by any assay method known in the art. The precise effective amount for a subject will depend upon the subject's body weight, size, and health: the nature and extent of the condition; and the therapeutic or combination of therapeutics selected for administration. Therapeutically effective amounts for a given situation may be determined by routine experimentation that is within the skill and judgment of the clinician. In a preferred aspect, the disease or condition to be treated is cancer. In another aspect, the disease or condition to be treated is a cell proliferative disorder.
For any compound, the therapeutically effective amount may be estimated initially either in cell culture assays, e.g., of neoplastic cells, or in animal models, usually rats, mice, rabbits, dogs, or pigs. The animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate concentration range and route of administration. Such information may then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans. Therapeutic/prophylactic efficacy and toxicity may be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, and it may be expressed as the ratio, LD50/ED50. Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed, sensitivity of the patient, and the route of administration.
Dosage and administration are adjusted to provide sufficient levels of the active agent(s) or to maintain the desired effect. Factors which may be taken into account include the severity of the disease state, general health of the subject, age, weight, and gender of the subject, diet, time and frequency of administration, drug combination(s), reaction sensitivities, and tolerance/response to therapy. Long-acting pharmaceutical compositions may be administered every 3 to 4 days. Every week, or once every two weeks depending on half-life and clearance rate of the particular formulation.
The pharmaceutical compositions containing active compounds disclosed herein may be manufactured in a manner that is generally known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilizing processes. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers comprising excipients and/or auxiliaries that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that may be used pharmaceutically. Of course, the appropriate formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water. Cremophor EL™ (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and should be fluid to the extent that easy syringeability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol, and sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions may be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
Sterile injectable solutions may be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle that contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying that yields a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an edible pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. They may be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules. Oral compositions may also be prepared using a fluid carrier for use as a mouthwash, wherein the compound in the fluid carrier is applied orally and swished and expectorated or swallowed. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials may be included as part of the composition. The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like may contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin: an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch: a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide: a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.
The active compounds may be prepared with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that will protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers may be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
It is especially advantageous to formulate oral or parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specification for the dosage unit forms of the compounds disclosed herein are dictated by and directly dependent on the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved.
In therapeutic applications, the dosages of the pharmaceutical compositions used in accordance with embodiments described herein vary depending on the agent, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the recipient patient, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the therapy, among other factors affecting the selected dosage. Generally, the dose should be sufficient to result in slowing, and preferably regressing, the growth of the tumors and also preferably causing complete regression of the cancer. Dosages may range from about 0.01 mg/kg per day to about 5000 mg/kg per day. In preferred aspects, dosages may range from about 1 mg/kg per day to about 1000 mg/kg per day. In an aspect, the dose will be in the range of about 0.1 mg/day to about 50 g/day; about 0.1 mg/day to about 25 g/day; about 0.1 mg/day to about 10 g/day; about 0.1 mg to about 3 g/day; or about 0.1 mg to about 1 g/day, in single, divided, or continuous doses (which dose may be adjusted for the patient's weight in kg, body surface area in m2, and age in years). An effective amount of a pharmaceutical agent is that which provides an objectively identifiable improvement as noted by the clinician or other qualified observer. For example, regression of a tumor in a patient may be measured with reference to the diameter of a tumor. Decrease in the diameter of a tumor indicates regression. Regression is also indicated by failure of tumors to reoccur after treatment has stopped. As used herein, the term “dosage effective manner” refers to amount of an active compound to produce the desired biological effect in a subject or cell.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be included in a container, pack, or dispenser together with instructions for administration.
Techniques for formulation and administration of the compounds disclosed herein may be found in Remington: the Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th edition, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1995). In an embodiment, the compounds described herein, and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be used in pharmaceutical preparations in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include inert solid fillers or diluents and sterile aqueous or organic solutions. The compounds will be present in such pharmaceutical compositions in amounts sufficient to provide the desired dosage amount in the range described herein.

In Vitro Proliferation Assays
MCF7-WT and -Y537S cells were seeded at 1500 cells/well in black-walled 96-well plates (assay plates, Costar, Cat #3904). In parallel, cells were also seeded in a separate 96-well plate (8 wells/cell line, control plate) for which a CTG (CellTiter-Glo@ Luminescent Viability Assay. Promega, Cat # G7572) was measured the following day (day 0 reading). The day 0 reading was used for the GI50 calculation at the termination of the experiment. The day following seeding, compounds were added to assay plates. Briefly, a 1:4 serial dilution was prepared in DMSO at 200× final concentration for a total of 10 concentrations (9 dilutions containing compound and one is DMSO only). Serially diluted compounds were pipetted into medium to prepare a compound-medium mix at 10× final concentration. 10 μl of compound-medium mix was added to MCF7-WT and -Y537S cells at 3 wells/concentration (triplicate for each concentration). On day 3, media-compound was removed and replaced with fresh media/compound as described above. On day 6, CTG was measured and compared to day 0 readings from control plate to assess GI50.

A Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) tumor model representing an ESR1-Y537S mutated human ER+ breast cancer, designated as ST941 PDX-Y537S, was propagated subcutaneously in immunocompromised mice. (Cf. Wick M J, et al., Establishment and characterization of ST941/C; an ESR1-mutant ER+ breast cancer cell line and xenograft from a patient with acquired resistance to endocrine therapy, Proceedings of the 2016 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium; 2016 Dec. 6-10; San Antonio, Tex. Philadelphia (Pa.): AACR; Cancer Res 2017; 77(4 Suppl):Abstract nr P3-04-26). The tumors were excised within 60 days of implantation and processed to mixed tumor fragments. Solid tumor tissues were depleted of necrotic components, cut into 70 mg fragments, mixed with matrigel and subcutaneously implanted into the right flank of 6-12 week old female athymic Nude (Crl:NU(NCr)-Foxn1nu) mice. The precise number of fragments and volume of matrigel were determined on a case by case basis. When the average tumor volume reaches approximately 125-250 mm3, animals were randomized prior to treatment. All of the primary human tumors utilized in this study had undergone approximately 5-7 passages in vivo.
Estrogen was not supplemented in the studies. All tested compounds were dosed orally every day at doses ranging from 3 to 30 mg/kg. The administration volume was calculated from the individual mouse body weights prior to dose administration. The body weights (BW) and tumor volumes (TV) were measured twice a week.
Tumor volumes (TV) were calculated based on the following formula:
TV=length×width2×0.5
length: largest diameter of tumor (mm)
width: diameter perpendicular to length (mm)
The Tumor Growth Inhibition % (TGI) was calculated according to the following formula:

The ESR1 wild-type human ER+ breast cancer cell line MCF7 (ATCC) was cultured in DMEM media supplemented with 10% FBS at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 atmosphere and kept in the exponential growth phase. The cells were collected in trypsin and re-suspended in a 1:1 mixture of matrigel and HBSS at a final concentration of 5×107 cells/mL. A 0.2 mL aliquot of cells was injected subcutaneously into the 3rd mammary fat pad of 6-8 week old female Balb/c nude mice, giving 1×107 cells/mouse. When the average tumor volume reached approximately about 200 mm3, animals were randomized prior to treatment. Estrogen was supplemented for the duration of the study.
All of the compounds were dosed orally every day at doses ranging from 1 to 10 mg/kg. Each treatment was started on Day 0 and the administration schedule was continued for 28 days. The administration volume was calculated from the individual mouse body weights prior to dose administration. The body weights (BW) were measured daily while the tumor volumes were measured twice a week. Tumor volumes (TV) were calculated based on the above formula.
Compound 21
Compound 21 was given orally once daily for the duration of the study. Data represent the mean±SEM (Tumor Volume) or mean±SEM (Body Weight) (N=8 for all groups). * p<0.05 versus vehicle control on Day 28 (repeated measures t-test, Holm-Sidak method with α=0.05 without assuming a consistent SD).
The Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) tumor model, WHIM20, representing an ESR1-Y537S mutated human ER+ breast cancer is propagated in mice. The tumors are excised and processed to mixed tumor fragments and the fragments are re-implanted subcutaneously into new recipient mice. Solid tumor tissues are depleted of necrotic components, cut into fragments, mixed with matrigel and subcutaneously implanted into the right flank of 6-8 week old female SCID-bg mice. The precise number of fragments and volume of matrigel are determined on a case by case basis. When the average tumor volume reaches approximately 200 mm3, animals are randomized prior to treatment. All of the primary human tumors utilized in this study undergo approximately 4 passages in vivo.

Solid tumor tissues were depleted of necrotic components, cut into 70 mg fragments, mixed with matrigel and subcutaneously implanted into the right flank of 6-12 week old female athymic Nude (Crl:NU(NCr)-Foxn1nu) mice. The precise number of fragments and volume of matrigel were determined on a case by case basis. When the average tumor volume reached approximately 125-250 mm3, animals were randomized prior to treatment. Estrogen was supplemented for the duration of the study. Compound 21 was dosed orally every day at doses ranging from 1 to 30 mg/kg. The administration volume was calculated from the individual mouse body weights prior to dose administration. The body weights (BW) and tumor volumes (TV) were measured twice a week.
Compound 21
Compound 21 was given orally once daily for the duration of the study. Data represent the mean±SEM (Tumor Volume) or mean±SEM (Body Weight) (N=6 for all groups). * p<0.05 versus vehicle control on Day 39 (repeated measures t-test, Holm-Sidak method with α=0.05 without assuming a consistent SD).
To demonstrate that a compound is (or is not) a CYP inactivator, abbreviated experimental designs are commonly used for screening in drug development. One of these approaches uses multiple test compound concentrations at a single incubation time, e.g. the “IC50 shift” approach. In an IC50 shift experiment, the IC50 is determined for a CYP marker activity before and after the test compound has been incubated with enzyme and the co-factor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) for a set preincubation time (Grimm et al, 2009).
The IC50 shift approach was used to determine whether compounds are time-dependent inhibitors of human CYP3A4 using liver microsomes (0.1 mg/mL). A 30-minute pre-incubation time point was selected, where compounds (9 concentrations, 0 to 30 μmol/L) are incubated at 37° C. in presence and absence of 1 mmol/L NADPH. Following the pre-incubation period, 5 μmol/L midazolam (the probe substrate) was added and formation of hydroxymidazolam was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis following a 5 minute incubation period. Any decrease in the formation of hydroxymidazolam, in peak area ratios to vehicle control, was used to calculate three IC50 values (0 min pre-incubation, 30 min pre-incubation with NADPH, and 30 min pre-incubation without NADPH). Whereas an IC50 shift<3-fold is accepted as demonstration that a test compound does not possess a TDI risk, an IC50 shift ≥3-fold after pre-incubation is indicative of a CYP3A4 TDI risk. Assays were performed in duplicate, and mifepristone was used as positive control. Results are shown in Table 3. In Table 3, “Yes” indicates a TDI shift greater than or equal to 3. “No” indicates a TDI shift greater than or equal to 1 and less than 3.
By way of comparison with the results above, a TDI assay was also conducted for the following compound, which is reported as Compound 69 of PCT International Application Publication No. WO/2016/196346:
The IC50 shift approach was also used to determine whether Compound 69 of PCT International Application Publication No. WO/2016/196346 is a time-dependent inhibitor of human CYP3A4 using liver microsomes. Similar to the experimental design described above, a 30-minute pre-incubation time point was selected. Minor variations to the method described above were that Compound 69 of PCT International Application Publication No. WO/2016/196346 was tested at 8 concentrations (0 to 10 μmol/L). Following the pre-incubation period, 3 μmol/L midazolam was added and formation of hydroxymidazolam was measured following a 2 minute incubation period. Since under these experimental conditions, the formation of hydroxymidazolam followed first order kinetics (considered as a linear process), these changes in assay design are not expected to impact the IC50 determinations. In parallel, the IC50 shift assay was also performed with 15.6 μmol/L testosterone (0.05 mg/mL liver microsomes, 10 minute incubation) as second probe substrate. Assays for both probe substrates were performed in triplicate, and mifepristone was used as positive control.
The CYP3A4 TDI shift result for Compound 69 of PCT International Application Publication No. WO/2016/196346 was greater than 3, indicating it to be a TDI risk.
