BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0004] Modulation of the acetylation state of histones,
transcription factors, and other regulatory proteins is known to
influence their activity within cancer and inflammatory cells. The
acetylation state of a protein is controlled by the activity of two
main groups of enzymes, histone deacetylases (HDAC) and histone
acetyl transferases (HAT). The HDAC removes acetyl-groups while the
HATs transfer acetyl-groups to the protein of interest.
[0005] Classically, modulation of acetylation status is known to
influence the condensation of chromatin. In cancer, histones are
deacetylated maintaining a condensed chromatin structure, and a
transcriptionally silenced state. This transcriptional inactivation
is mediated by HDACs which remove acetyl groups from histone tails,
maintain a condensed chromatic structure. Inhibitors of HDACs help
maintain transcriptionally active chromatin, theoretically allowing
for expression of tumor suppressor genes. One observation that has
evolved is that histones are not the only targets of acetylation.
It is now accepted that post-translational acetylation of
intracellular proteins such as tumor suppressors (p53) and
oncogenes (Bcl6) plays a critical role in influencing their
activity. It has been established that there is a network of
proteins and enzymes that can be modified by acetylation, now
collectively referred to as the acetylome.
[0006] Cognitive neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by
synaptic dysfunction, cognitive abnormalities, and/or the presence
of inclusion bodies throughout the CNS containing, for example, but
not limited to native beta-amyloid fragments, native and
phosphorylated Tau, native and phosphorylated alpha-synuclein,
lipofuscin, cleaved TARDBP (TDB-43), in various percentages and in
relation to the specific disease.
[0007] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible
neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory loss, synaptic
dysfunction and accumulation of amyloid .beta.-peptides (A.beta.).
The pathogenesis of AD is believed to be caused by high levels and
aggregation of amyloid-.beta. (A.beta.) in the brain. A.beta. has
been found to impair memory by reducing acetylation of specific
histone lysines important for memory formation. Histones are
proteins that closely associate with DNA molecules and play an
important role in gene transcription.
[0008] Currently available therapies for AD are palliative and do
not cure the disease. Cholinesterase inhibitors such as
Razadyne.RTM. (galantamine), Exelon.RTM. (rivastigmine),
Aricept.RTM. (donepezil), and Cognex.RTM. (tacrine) have been
prescribed for early stages of Alzheimer's disease, and may
temporarily delay or prevent progression of symptoms related to AD.
However, as AD progresses, the brain loses less acetylcholine,
thereby rendering cholinesterase inhibitors unproductive as
treatment for AD. Namenda.RTM. (memantine), an N-methyl D-aspartate
(NMDA) antagonist, is also prescribed to treat moderate to severe
Alzheimer's disease; however only temporary benefits are
realized.
[0009] Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) are involved in histone
acetylation (leading to gene activation), chromosome
decondensation, DNA repair and non-histone substrate modification.
The post-translational acetylation status of chromatin is governed
by the competing activities of two classes of enzymes, HATs and
HDACs. The potential of inhibiting HDACs to counteract
neurodegenerative disorders has been widely explored (Curr Drug
Targets CNS Neurol Disord, 2005. 4(1): p. 41-50; hereby
incorporated by reference in its entirety). HATs, however, have
been investigated to a lesser extent. HAT activators have been
reported, but many are neither soluble nor membrane permeant, which
makes them poor candidates for therapeutics. CTPB and CTB are HAT
activators that are insoluble and membrane-impermeable (J Phys Chem
B, 2007. 111(17): p. 4527-34; J Biol Chem, 2003. 278(21): p.
19134-40; each hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety).
Nemorosone is another HAT activator (Chembiochem. 11(6): p. 818-27;
hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). However, these
compounds suffer from unfavorable physicochemical characteristics

"treatment" is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired
results, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical
results may include, but are not limited to, alleviation or
amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminution of
extent of disease, a stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of
disease, preventing spread of disease, delay or slowing of disease
progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state and
remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or
undetectable. "Treatment" can also mean prolonging survival as
compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment.
[0043] The term "in need thereof" refers to the need for
symptomatic or asymptomatic relief from a condition such as, for
example, cancer or a neurodegenerative disease. The subject in need
thereof may or may not be undergoing treatment for conditions
related to, for example, cancer or a neurodegenerative disease.

[0047] A base addition salt refers to those salts which retain the
biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which
are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are
prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to
the free acid. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are
not limited to, the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium,
magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the
like. Preferred inorganic salts are the ammonium, sodium,
potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts. Salts derived from organic
bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary,
and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally
occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange
resins, such as ammonia, isopropylamine, trimethylamine,
diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, diethanolamine,
ethanolamine, deanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol,
2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine,

resins and the like. Particularly preferred organic bases are
isopropylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine, trimethylamine,
dicyclohexylamine, choline and caffeine.
[0048] The term "solvate" as used herein means a compound formed by
solvation (the combination of solvent molecules with molecules or
ions of the solute), or an aggregate that consists of a solute ion
or molecule, i.e., a compound of the invention, with one or more
solvent molecules. When water is the solvent, the corresponding
solvate is a "hydrate." Examples of hydrate include, but are not
limited to, hemihydrate, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate,
hexahydrate, etc. It should be understood by one of ordinary skill
in the art that the present compound and/or the pharmaceutically
acceptable salt of the present compound may also exist in a solvate
form. The solvate is typically formed via hydration which is either
part of the preparation of the present compound or through natural
absorption of moisture by the anhydrous compound of the present
invention.
[0049] The compounds described herein may contain one or more
chiral centers and/or double bonds and therefore, may exist as
stereoisomers, such as double-bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers
such as E and Z), enantiomers or diastereomers. The invention
includes each of the isolated stereoisomeric forms (such as the
enantiomerically pure isomers, the E and Z isomers, and etc.) as
well as mixtures of stereoisomers in varying degrees of chiral
purity or percetange of E and Z, including racemic mixtures,
mixtures of diastereomers, and mixtures of E and Z isomers.
Accordingly, the chemical structures depicted herein encompass all
possible enantiomers and stereoisomers of the illustrated compounds
including the stereoisomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically
pure, enantiomerically pure or diastereomerically pure) and
enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures. Enantiomeric and
stereoisomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component
enantiomers or stereoisomers using separation techniques or chiral
synthesis techniques well known to the skilled artisan. The
invention includes each of the isolated stereoisomeric forms as
well as mixtures of stereoisomers in varying degrees of chiral
purity, including racemic mixtures. It also encompasses the various
diastereomers. Other structures may appear to depict a specific
isomer, but that is merely for convenience, and is not intended to
limit the invention to the depicted olefin isomer. When the
chemical name does not specify the isomeric form of the compound,
it denotes any one of the possible isomeric forms or a mixture of
those isomeric forms of the compound.
[0050] In certain embodiments, "optically active" and
"enantiomerically active" refer to a collection of molecules, which
has an enantiomeric excess of no less than about 50%, no less than
about 70%, no less than about 80%, no less than about 90%, no less
than about 91%, no less than about 92%, no less than about 93%, no
less than about 94%, no less than about 95%, no less than about
96%, no less than about 97%, no less than about 98%, no less than
about 99%, no less than about 99.5%, or no less than about 99.8%.
In certain embodiments, the compound comprises about 95% or more of
one enantiomer and about 5% or less of the other enantiomer based
on the total weight of the racemate in question.
[0051] In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes R
and S are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule
about its chiral center(s). The (+) and (-) are used to denote the
optical rotation of the compound, that is, the direction in which a
plane of polarized light is rotated by the optically active
compound. The (-) prefix indicates that the compound is
levorotatory, that is, the compound rotates the plane of polarized
light to the left or counterclockwise. The (+) prefix indicates
that the compound is dextrorotatory, that is, the compound rotates
the plane of polarized light to the right or clockwise. However,
the sign of optical rotation, (+) and (-), is not related to the
absolute configuration of the molecule, R and S. The phrase "a
single enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, a mixture of
diastereomers, or an isotopic variant thereof; or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or prodrug thereof" has
the same meaning as the phrase "a single enantiomer, a mixture of
enantiomers, a mixture of diastereomers, or an isotopic variant of
the compound referenced therein; or a pharmaceutically acceptable
salt, solvate, or prodrug of the compound referenced therein, or a
single enantiomer, a mixture of enantiomers, a mixture of
diastereomers, or an isotopic variant of the compound referenced
therein."
[0052] The compounds described herein may also exist in several
tautomeric forms. The term "tautomer" as used herein refers to
isomers that change into one another with great ease by a proton or
an alkyl shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the
same molecule so that they can exist together in equilibrium. For
example, ketone and enol are two tautomeric forms of one
compound.
[0053] The terms "animal," "subject" and "patient" as used herein
includes all members of the animal kingdom including, but not
limited to, mammals, animals (e.g., cats, dogs, horses, swine,
etc.) and humans.
[0054] The term "alkyl" as used herein, by itself or as part of
another substituent, refers to a saturated or unsaturated,
branched, straight-chain or cyclic monovalent hydrocarbon radical

intended to include groups having any degree or level of
saturation, i.e., groups having exclusively single carbon-carbon
bonds, groups having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds, groups
having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds and groups having
mixtures of single, double and triple carbon-carbon bonds. Where a
specific level of saturation is intended, the expressions
"alkanyl," "alkenyl," and "alkynyl" are used. In some embodiments,
an alkyl group comprises from 1 to 20 carbon atoms
(C.sub.1-C.sub.20 alkyl). In other embodiments, an alkyl group
comprises from 1 to 10 carbon atoms (C.sub.1-C.sub.10 alkyl). In
still other embodiments, an alkyl group comprises from 1 to 6
carbon atoms (C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl). It is noted that when an
alkyl group is further connected to another atom, it becomes an
"alkylene" group. In other words, the term "alkylene" refers to a
divalent alkyl. For example, --CH.sub.2CH.sub.3 is an ethyl, while
--CH.sub.2CH.sub.2-- is an ethylene. That is, "alkylene," by itself
or as part of another substituent, refers to a saturated or
unsaturated, branched, straight-chain or cyclic divalent
hydrocarbon radical derived by the removal of two hydrogen atoms
from a single carbon atom or two different carbon atoms of a parent
alkane, alkene or alkyne. The term "alkylene" includes
"cycloalkylene" as defined hereinbelow. The term "alkylene" is
specifically intended to include groups having any degree or level
of saturation, i.e., groups having exclusively single carbon-carbon
bonds, groups having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds, groups

embodiments, an alkylene group comprises from 1 to 20 carbon atoms
(C.sub.1-C.sub.20 alkylene). In other embodiments, an alkylene
group comprises from 1 to 10 carbon atoms (C.sub.1-C.sub.10
alkylene). In still other embodiments, an alkylene group comprises
from 1 to 6 carbon atoms (C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkylene).
[0055] The term "alkanyl" as used herein, by itself or as part of
another substituent, refers to a saturated branched, straight-chain
or cyclic alkyl radical derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom
from a single carbon atom of a parent alkane. The term "alkanyl"
includes "cycloakanyl" as defined hereinbelow. Typical alkanyl

(sec-butyl), 2-methyl-propan-1-yl (isobutyl), 2-methyl-propan-2-yl
(t-butyl), cyclobutan-1-yl, etc.; and the like.
[0056] The term "alkenyl" as used herein, by itself or as part of
another substituent, refers to an unsaturated branched,
straight-chain or cyclic alkyl radical having at least one
carbon-carbon double bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen
atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkene. The term
"alkenyl" includes "cycloalkenyl" as defined hereinbelow. The group
may be in either the cis or trans conformation about the double
bond(s). Typical alkenyl groups include, but are not limited to,

[0057] The term "alkynyl" as used herein, by itself or as part of
another substituent, refers to an unsaturated branched,
straight-chain or cyclic alkyl radical having at least one
carbon-carbon triple bond derived by the removal of one hydrogen
atom from a single carbon atom of a parent alkyne. Typical alkynyl
groups include, but are not limited to, ethynyl; propynyls such as
prop-1-yn-1-yl, prop-2-yn-1-yl, etc.; butynyls such as
but-1-yn-1-yl, but-1-yn-3-yl, but-3-yn-1-yl, etc.; and the
like.
[0058] The term "cycloalkyl" as used herein refers to a cyclic
monovalent hydrocarbon radical derived by the removal of one
hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent cycloalkane,
cycloalkene or cycloalkyne. The term "cycloalkyl" is specifically
intended to include groups having any degree or level of
saturation, i.e., groups having exclusively single carbon-carbon
bonds, groups having one or more double carbon-carbon bonds, groups
having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds and groups having
mixtures of single, double and triple carbon-carbon bonds. Where a
specific level of saturation is intended, the expressions
"cycloalkanyl," "cycloalkenyl," and "cycloalkynyl" are used. In one
embodiment, cycloalkyl groups may be saturated or unsaturated but
non-aromatic, and/or bridged, and/or non-bridged, and/or fused
bicyclic groups. In certain embodiments, the cycloalkyl has from 3
to 20 (C.sub.3-20), from 3 to 15 (C.sub.3-15), from 3 to 10
(C.sub.3-10), or from 3 to 7 (C.sub.3-7) carbon atoms. Examples of

[0059] An "aromatic" moiety or "aryl" moiety refers to a monocyclic
or fused bicyclic moiety having the well-known characteristics of
aromaticity; examples include phenyl and naphthyl.
[0060] The terms "halogen" or "halo" as used herein includes
fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo groups. The term "haloalkyl" as used
herein includes an alkyl group, as defined above, where one or more
H is replaced with a halogen. Non-limiting examples include
monofluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, perfluoroethyl,
2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 2,2-difluoroethyl, 2-fluoroethyl, and the
like.
[0061] Each alkyl, cycloalkyl, haloalkyl, and aryl groups may
optionally be substituted with one or more substituents to the
extent that such substitution makes sense chemically.
[0062] "Optionally substituted" means substituted or not
substituted. As used herein, "optionally substituted" indicates
that the particular group or groups being described may have no
non-hydrogen substituents, or the group or groups may have one or
more non-hydrogen substituents. If not otherwise specified, the
total number of such substituents that may be present is equal to
or less than the number of H atoms present on the unsubstituted
form of the group being described. Where an optional substituent is
attached via a double bond, such as a carbonyl oxygen (.dbd.O), the
group takes up two available valences, so the total number of
substituents that may be included is reduced according to the
number of available valences.
[0063] "Substituted," when used to modify a specified group or
radical, means that one or more hydrogen atoms of the specified
group or radical are each, independently of one another, replaced
with the same or different substituent(s).
[0064] Substituent groups useful for substituting saturated carbon
atoms in the specified group or radical include, but are not
limited to --R.sup.a, halo, acyl, --O.sup.-, .dbd.O, --OR'',

from the group consisting of alkyl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl,
cycloheteroalkyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl and heteroarylalkyl;
each R.sup.b is independently hydrogen or R.sup.a; and each R.sup.c
is independently R.sup.b or alternatively, the two R.sup.cs may be
taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded form
a 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-membered cycloheteroalkyl which may optionally
include from 1 to 4 of the same or different additional heteroatoms
selected from the group consisting of O, N and S. As specific
examples, --NR.sup.cR.sup.c is meant to include --NH.sub.2,
--NH-alkyl, N-pyrrolidinyl and N-morpholinyl. As another specific
example, a substituted alkyl is meant to include -alkylene-O-alkyl,

-alkylene-C(O)OR.sup.b, -alkylene-C(O)NR.sup.bR.sup.b, and
--CH.sub.2--CH.sub.2--C(O)--CH.sub.3. The one or more substituent
groups, taken together with the atoms to which they are bonded, may
form a cyclic ring including cycloalkyl and cycloheteroalkyl.
[0065] Similarly, substituent groups useful for substituting
unsaturated carbon atoms in the specified group or radical include,

R.sup.c are as previously defined.
[0066] The term "heteroalkyl" as used herein includes alkyl groups,
as defined above, when heteroatoms (N, O and S typically) are
allowed to replace carbon atoms. For example, the numbers
describing the group, though still written as e.g. C.sub.1-C.sub.6,
represent the sum of the number of carbon atoms in the group plus
the number of such heteroatoms that are included as replacements
for carbon atoms in the backbone of the ring or chain being
described. When the carbon atoms of a cycloalkyl group, as defined
above, are replaced with heteroatom it is referred to as
"cycloheteroalkyl."
[0067] The terms "heteroaromatic" and "heteroaryl" as used herein,
refer to aromatic monocyclic or fused bicyclic ring systems which
contain as ring members one or more heteroatoms selected from O, S
and N. The inclusion of a heteroatom permits aromaticity in
5-membered rings as well as 6-membered rings. Typical
heteroaromatic systems include monocyclic C.sub.5-C.sub.6 aromatic
groups such as pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyrazinyl, thienyl, furanyl,
pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, triazolyl, triazinyl,
tetrazolyl, tetrazinyl, and imidazolyl and the fused bicyclic
moieties formed by fusing one of these monocyclic groups with a
phenyl ring or with any of the heteroaromatic monocyclic groups to
form a C.sub.8-C.sub.10 bicyclic group such as indolyl,
benzimidazolyl, indazolyl, benzotriazolyl, isoquinolyl, quinolyl,
benzothiazolyl, benzofuranyl, pyrazolopyridyl, quinazolinyl,
quinoxalinyl, cinnolinyl, and the like. Any monocyclic or fused
ring bicyclic system which has the characteristics of aromaticity
in terms of electron distribution throughout the ring system is
included in this definition. It also includes bicyclic groups where
at least the ring which is directly attached to the remainder of
the molecule has the characteristics of aromaticity. Typically, the
ring systems contain 5-12 ring member atoms and up to four
heteroatoms selected from N, O and S. Frequently, the monocyclic
heteroaryls contain 5-6 ring members and up to three such
heteroatoms, and the bicyclic heteroaryls contain 8-10 ring members
and up to four such heteroatoms. The number and placement of
heteroatoms in such rings is in accordance with the well-known
limitations of aromaticity and stability, where stability requires
the heteroaromatic group to be stable enough to be exposed to water
without rapid degradation.
[0068] The terms "arylalkyl" and "heteroarylalkyl" as used herein
refer to aromatic and heteroaromatic ring systems which are bonded
to their attachment point through a divalent alkyl group, as
defined above. For example, benzyl group is an arylalkyl group.
[0069] As used herein, "acyl" encompasses groups comprising an
alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl radical attached at one of the two
available valence positions of a carbonyl carbon atom, and
heteroacyl refers to the corresponding groups wherein at least one
carbon other than the carbonyl carbon has been replaced by a
heteroatom chosen from N, O and S. Thus heteroacyl includes, for
example, --C(.dbd.O)OR and C(.dbd.O)NR.sub.2 as well as
C(.dbd.O)-heteroaryl.

[0204] Early amnesic changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are
thought to be linked to synaptic dysfunction. .beta.-amyloid
(A.beta.), a peptide that is present in high amounts in the
disease, has been found to inhibit memory (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA,
2006. 103(23): p. 8852-7; Nat Neurosci, 2005. 8(1): p. 79-84; each
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) and its
electrophysiological model, long-term potentiation (LTP)
(Neuroreport, 1997, 8(15), 3213-7; Eur J Pharmacol, 1999, 382(3),
167-75; Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2002, 99(20), 13217-21; Nature,
2002, 416(6880), 535-9; J Neurosci Res, 2000, 60(1), 65-72; Proc
Natl Acad Sci USA, 1998, 95(11), 6448-53; each herein incorporated
by reference in its entirety). Memory is known to be modulated by
epigenetics through regulation of gene expression. Epigenetics is
defined as the mechanism that changes gene expression by `marking`
DNA or its associated proteins, through processes such as DNA
methylation and histone modification, without changing the DNA
sequence itself (Biochem J, 2001. 356 (Pt 1): p. 1-10; herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety). Modification of
histones by, for example, the addition or removal of acetyl or
methyl functional groups causes the chromatin structure to open or
close, so that the information contained within the DNA is made
more or less accessible to transcription factors. Deregulation of
one of the epigenetic mechanisms may lead to memory disruption. For
example, reduction of histone acetylation causes the chromatin
structure to close, so that the information contained within the
DNA can be less accessible to transcription factors and memory
formation (Biochem J, 2001. 356(Pt 1): p. 1-10; herein incorporated
by reference in its entirety).
[0205] Epigenetic modifications including acetylation of histones
may contribute to gene expression changes important to learning and
memory (Science 2010: 328(5979), 701-702; herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety). Addition of acetyl groups to histones
by histone acyltransferases (HAT) enhances gene expression, while
their removal by histone deacetylases (HDAC) reduces gene
expression. Reduction in histone acetylation has recently been
linked to age-induced memory impairment and various
neurodegenerative diseases (Science 2010: 328(5979), 701-702;
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). HDAC inhibitors
have been shown to enhance memory in mice (Nature 459, 55-60 (7 May
2009); herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Histone
acetylation is discussed in, for example, U.S. Patent Publication
Nos. 2010/0166781; 2010/0144885; 2009/0076155; Neuroscience 2011,
194, 272-281; and J. Phys. Chem B 2007, 111(17), 4527-4534 (each of
which herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0206] HAT activators can be a viable approach to enhance histone
acetylation. Further details on HAT activators can be found in WO
2011/072243 and WO 2012/088420, each incorporated by reference
herein in its entirety. HAT activators are also described in U.S.
patent application Ser. Nos. 12/493,490; 13/493,490 and 13/996,483;
each incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Increasing
histone acetylation has been shown to improve outcome in a wide
variety of diseases as diverse as asthma, infectious disease and
psychiatric diseases.

[0210] In one embodiment, the cancer is colon cancer, renal cancer,

lymphocytic leukemia, renal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma,
glioblastoma, breast carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, or lung
carcinoma.
[0211] In one embodiment, the cancer is Hodgkin's lymphoma,
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma, or
follicular lymphoma. In another embodiment, the B cell lymphoma is

large B-cell lymphoma is a germinal center-derived diffuse large B
cell lymphoma, an activated B-cell-derived (ABC) diffuse large
B-cell lymphoma, or a non-germinal center diffuse large B cell

[0212] Modulation of the acetylation state of histones,
transcription factors, and other regulatory proteins is known to
influence their activity within cancer and inflammatory cells.
Classically, modulation of acetylation status is known to influence
the condensation of chromatin. In cancer, histones are deacetylated
maintaining a condensed chromatin structure, and a
transcriptionally silenced state. This transcriptional inactivation
is mediated by HDACs which remove acetyl groups from histone tails,
maintain a condensed chromatic structure. Inhibitors of HDACs help
maintain transcriptionally active chromatin, theoretically allowing
for expression of tumor suppressor genes. One observation that has
evolved is that histones are not the only targets of acetylation.
It is now accepted that post-translational acetylation of
intracellular proteins such as tumor suppressors (p53) and
oncogenes (Bcl6) plays a critical role in influencing their
activity. It has been established that there is a network of
proteins and enzymes that can be modified by acetylation, now
collectively referred to as the acetylome. It has been shown that
modulation of key intracellular proteins with HDAC inhibitors can
lead to profound effects in lymphoma cell lines, in mouse models of
lymphoma and in patients with drug-resistant lymphoma. Treatment
with HDAC inhibitors, like vorinostat, can inactivate the oncogene,
Bcl6, while simultaneously activating the tumor suppressor, p53.
The tumor suppress p53 plays an important role in many cancers, and
mutations in p53 are critical in the development of many cancers.
Enhancement of p53 activity through acetylation protects the tumor
suppressor from proteosomal degradation and stimulates induction of
apoptosis. In one embodiment, there is also provided a method for
reducing the proliferation of a cancer cell or cells comprising
contacting the cell(s) with the compound of formula (I). In a

lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, T cell lymphoma,
or follicular lymphoma. In another embodiment, the B cell lymphoma
is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In a further embodiment, the
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is a germinal center-derived diffuse
large B cell lymphoma, an activated B-cell-derived (ABC) diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma, or a non-germinal center diffuse large B

[0215] An emerging view of the processes involved in memory
impairment indicates that the subtlety and variability of the
earliest amnesic symptoms, occurring in the absence of any other
clinical signs of brain injury, could be due to discrete changes in
the function of a single synapse, produced at least in part, by
A.beta. (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2002. 99(20): p. 13217-21;
Neuroreport, 1997. 8(15): p. 3213-7; Eur J Pharmacol, 1999. 382(3):
p. 167-75; Nature, 2002. 416(6880): p. 535-9; each herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0216] Several evidences have indicate that LTM and synaptic
plasticity rely on gene expression after an early induction phase
characterized by the activation of a number of pathways (Philos
Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2003. 358(1432): p. 757-63; herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety). More recently, a fine
regulation of memory-related genes and long-term synaptic
plasticity has been discovered to involve epigenetic factors (Nat
Rev Neurosci, 2005. 6(2): p. 108-18; herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety). Indeed, epigenetic modifications, such
as DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications
profoundly affect the ability of polymerases to interact with the
open reading frame of DNA without changing the DNA sequence itself.
Deregulation of epigenetic mechanisms can lead to the disruption of
memory-associated gene expression and synaptic plasticity (Nat Rev
Neurosci, 2005. 6(2): p. 108-18; herein incorporated by reference
in its entirety), and contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases
characterized by cognitive disorders, such as AD.
[0217] The process of memory storage has been described as a
dialogue between genes and synapses (Biosci Rep, 2001. 21(5): p.
565-611; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). The
formation of long-term memory (LTM) is dependent upon gene
transcription (Nature, 1990. 345(6277): p. 718-21; herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety), synthesis of new
proteins (Science, 1986. 234(4781): p. 1249-54; herein incorporated
by reference in its entirety) and structural changes of the synapse
(Science, 1983. 220(4592): p. 91-3; herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety). In addition, the proper regulation of
gene expression in LTM is modulated by epigenetics (Nat Rev
Neurosci, 2005. 6(2): p. 108-18; herein incorporated by reference
in its entirety). The N-terminal tails of histone proteins are
known to undergo post-translational modifications, such as histone
acetylation, ubiquitination, sumoylation, phosphorylation,
citrullination, ADP-ribosylation, and methylation that can dictate
the transitions between transcriptionally active or
transcriptionally silent chromatin states (Curr Biol, 2004. 14(14):
p. R546-5; herein incorporated by reference in its entirety).
Deregulation of one of these mechanisms can lead to disruption of
memory associated gene expression and cognitive disorders. Studies
of the mechanisms underlying synaptic and memory dysfunction in AD
have indicated central roles for the transcription factor CREB (CRE
binding protein) and the coactivator CREB binding protein
(CBP).
[0218] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by neuronal loss,
extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary
tangles, leading to memory loss. AD purportedly begins as a
synaptic disorder produced at least in part, by A.beta. (Science
298, 789-791 (2002); herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety). A.beta.-induced reduction in long-term-potentiation
(LTP), a physiological correlate of synaptic plasticity that is
thought to underlie learning and memory, and phosphorylation of the
memory transcription factor CREB, are ameliorated by nitric oxide
(NO) donors and cGMP-analogs (J Neurosci 25, 6887-6897 (2005);
herein incorporated by reference in its entirety). Vice-versa,
genetic ablation of NO-synthase 2 (NOS2) results in worsening of
the AD phenotype in mice expressing mutated amyloid precursor
protein (APP) (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 103,
12867-12872 (2006); herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety). These findings show that up-regulation of the NO pathway
may be protective in AD.
[0219] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic progressive
neurodegenerative disorder, in which the earliest stages are
thought to be linked to synaptic dysfunction leading to memory
disorders. In this regard, .beta.-amyloid (A.beta.) has been found
to inhibit memory (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2006. 103:8852-7; Nat
Neurosci, 2005. 8:79 84; each herein incorporated by reference in
its entirety) and its cellular model, long-term potentiation (LTP)
(Neuroreport, 1997. 8:3213-7; Eur J Pharmacol, 1999. 382:167-75;
Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2002. 99:13217-21; Nature, 2002. 416:535-9;
J Neurosci Res, 2000. 60:65-72; Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1998.
95:6448-53; each herein incorporated by reference in its
entirety).
[0220] AD is characterized neuropathologically by neuronal loss,
extracellular senile plaques (SPs) and intracellular
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). SPs are chiefly comprised of
A.beta. aggregates. The major component of NFTs is the microtubule
binding protein tau. Clinically, AD is characterized by cognitive
dysfunction and begins as a synaptic disorder that involves
progressively larger areas of the brain over time (Histol
Histopathol, 1995. 10(2): p. 509-19; herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety). An emerging view of the processes
involved in synaptic impairment shows that the subtlety and
variability of the earliest amnesic symptoms, occurring in the
absence of any other clinical signs of brain injury, can be due to
discrete changes in the function of a single synapse, produced at
least in part, by A.beta. (Neuroreport, 1997. 8(15): p. 3213-7; Eur
J Pharmacol, 1999. 382(3): p. 167-75; Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2002.
99(20): p. 13217-21; Nature, 2002. 416(6880): p. 535-9; herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety).
[0221] Further details on Alzheimer's disease can be found in WO
2011/072243 and WO 2012/088420, each incorporated by reference

ingredient; age, sex, health and weight of the recipient; nature
and extent of symptoms; kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of
treatment and the effect desired; and rate of excretion.
[0231] A therapeutically effective dose can depend upon a number of
factors known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The dose(s)
can vary, for example, depending upon the identity, size, and
condition of the subject or sample being treated, further depending
upon the route by which the composition is to be administered, if

[0235] A pharmaceutical composition of the invention 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), transmucosal, and rectal administration.
Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, or
subcutaneous application can 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.
pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid
or sodium hydroxide. The parenteral preparation can be enclosed in
ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass
or plastic.
[0236] 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 dispersions. For intravenous
administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline,
bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EM.TM. (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
syringability 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 can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for
example, water, ethanol, a pharmaceutically acceptable polyol like
glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyetheylene glycol, and
suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained,
for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the
maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion
and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of
microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and
antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol,
ascorbic acid, and thimerosal. In many cases, it can be useful to
include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as
mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged
absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by
including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for
example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0237] Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by
incorporating the compound in the required amount in an appropriate
solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated herein,
as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally,
dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into
a sterile vehicle which contains a basic dispersion medium and the
required other ingredients from those enumerated herein. In the
case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable
solutions, examples of useful preparation methods are vacuum drying
and freeze-drying which yields a powder of the active ingredient
plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously
sterile-filtered solution thereof.
[0238] Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or an
edible carrier. They can be enclosed in gelatin capsules or
compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic
administration, the active compound can be incorporated with
excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or capsules.
Oral compositions can 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.
[0239] Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant
materials can be included as part of the composition. The tablets,
pills, capsules, troches and the like can 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.
[0240] Systemic administration can also be by transmucosal or
transdermal means. For transmucosal or transdermal administration,
penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in
the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art,
and include, for example, for transmucosal administration,
detergents, bile salts, and fusidic acid derivatives. Transmucosal
administration can be accomplished through the use of nasal sprays
or suppositories. For transdermal administration, the active
compounds are formulated into ointments, salves, gels, or creams as
generally known in the art.
[0241] The invention is further described by the following
non-limiting Examples.

[0267] HAT activator YF2 (U.S. patent application Ser. No.

with YF2 (5 mg/kg, i.p, daily) or vehicle, starting at the age of 2
months. Consistent with previously published findings, 4 month old
male YAC128 mice fell off of the accelerating rotarod significantly
sooner (and hence stay on the rod for a shorter period of time)
than control littermates (ANOVA, F(1,22)=8.768; p=0.0072). Post-hoc
analysis (Fisher PLSD) in male mice revealed that although YAC128
mice treated with vehicle performed significantly worse than WT
mice treated with vehicle (p=0.0021), this significance was lost
once YAC128 mice were treated with YF2 (WT mice treated with YF2
(p=0.1946) or WT mice treated with vehicle (p=0.0792). At 6 months
of age, post-hoc analysis in female mice revealed a similar effect:
although YAC128 mice treated with vehicle performed significantly
worse than WT mice treated with vehicle (p=0.0100), this
significance was lost once YAC128 mice were treated with YF2 (WT
mice treated with YF2 (p=0.1273 .mu.L) or WT mice treated with
vehicle (p=0.1690)).
Example 10: Histone Acetyl Transferase Activators as a Therapeutic
Agent for Cancer and Inflammatory Diseases
[0268] Modulation of the acetylation state of histones,
transcription factors, and other regulatory proteins is known to
influence their activity within cancer and inflammatory cells. The
acetylation state of a protein is controlled by the activity of two
main groups of enzymes, histone deacetylases (HDAC) and histone
acetyl transferases (HAT). The HDAC removes acetyl-groups while the
HATs transfer acetyl-groups to the protein of interest.
Classically, modulation of acetylation status is known to influence
the condensation of chromatin. In cancer, histones are deacetylated
maintaining a condensed chromatin structure, and a
transcriptionally silenced state. This transcriptional inactivation
is mediated by HDACs which remove acetyl groups from histone tails,
maintain a condensed chromatic structure Inhibitors of HDACs help
maintain transcriptionally active chromatin, theoretically allowing
for expression of tumor suppressor genes. Two HDAC inhibitors have
been approved for the treatment of cancer, including vorinostat and
romidepsin, currently FDA approved for the treatment of cutaneous
T-cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
[0269] Since these approvals, the pharmacology of this class of
drugs have been extensively studied. One observation that has
evolved is that histones are not the only targets of acetylation.
It is now accepted that post-translational acetylation of
intracellular proteins such as tumor suppressors (p53) and
oncogenes (Bcl6) plays a critical role in influencing their
activity. It has been established that there is a network of
proteins and enzymes that can be modified by acetylation, now
collectively referred to as the acetylome. It has been shown that
modulation of key intracellular proteins with HDAC inhibitors can
lead to profound effects in lymphoma cell lines, in mouse models of
lymphoma and in patients with drug-resistant lymphoma. Treatment
with HDAC inhibitors, like vorinostat, can inactivate the oncogene,
Bcl6, while simultaneously activating the tumor suppressor, p53.
The tumor suppress p53 plays an important role in many cancers, and
mutations in p53 are critical in the development of many cancers.
Enhancement of p53 activity through acetylation protects the tumor
suppressor from proteosomal degradation and stimulates induction of
apoptosis.
[0270] It has also recently been recognized that many patients with
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, the two most
common subtypes of lymphoma, harbor inactivating mutations in one
of two families of HAT enzymes, CREBBP and p300. These mutations
portend a more aggressive phenotype of disease, and shortened
survival in mouse models. These mutations are mostly heterozygous,
suggesting that the normal haploallele may still be amenable to
modification, potentially reversing this malignant phenotype. These
mutations have also been identified in B-cell derived acute
leukemias.
[0271] Currently, there are no clinically approved drugs targeting
HATs. Given the clinical success of HDAC inhibitors, and the
specific HAT mutations in lymphomas, HAT activators may modify the
acetylation state of the proteome and may therefore represent a
rational therapeutic target for cancer. Furthermore, combined
targeting of acetylation through HAT activation and HDAC inhibition
may induce profound post-translational modification of key
regulatory proteins and `acetylation stress,` leading to the
induction of programmed cell death.

acetylation of p53 and modulation of p21 by HAT activator RP52 in
diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell lines Ly1 (A) and Su-DHL6 (B).
Cells were treated with Romidepsin 1.5 nM, or RP52 5 uM for 24
hours then lysed with RIPA buffer. Levels of total p53, acetylated
p53, and p21 were detected by Western Blot analysis. Antibodies
used were anti-acetyl-p53 (Santa Cruz), anti-p53 DO-1 (Abcam),
anti-p21 (Cell Signaling).
[0273] Relapsed and refractory T-cell lymphoma continues to be a
rare but extraordinarily aggressive disease. HDAC inhibitors are
approved for use in peripheral T-cell lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell
lymphoma. In addition, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular
lymphomas are the two most common subtypes of lymphoma and harbor
heterogenous inactivating mutations in HATs. Without being bound by
theory, the effects of these mutations can be mitigated by
enhancement of their effect through pharmacologic modification.
Treatment with HAT activators in cells with HAT mutations can
reverse the malignant phenotype. These mutations can not be
modulated by existing HDAC inhibitors.
[0274] Histone deacetylase inhibitors have activity on a set of
enzymes that remove acetyl groups from histones and transcription
factors. Although HAT activators and HDAC inhibitors have converse
mechanisms of action, their end result is to enforce acetylation of
histones and transcription factors. HAT activators have a converse
mechanism of action from known agents with similar effects. They
can reverse the malignant genotype of mutated HATs in follicular
and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas as well as B-cell derived acute
leukemias. These actions would not be possible with HDAC inhibitors
alone. HAT activators can be used to overcome inactivating
mutations of HATs, which is not possible with any known or existing
technology. This invention can enhance HDAC inhibitors activity.
They may reverse a malignant phenotype of diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma and follicular lymphoma harboring HAT mutations. HAT
activators can activate key tumor suppressor proteins such as
p53.
[0275] The invention described herein can be used to treat
inflammatory diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and
Sjogren's syndrome, as well as, a host of neurodegenerative
diseases including Alzheimer's Disease, Huntington disease,
Friederich Ataxia, and others.
Example 11: Selecting HAT Modulators that Rescue LTP in APP/PS1
Mice
[0276] Synaptic dysfunction is a major hallmark of AD (Histol
Histopathol, 1995. 10(2): p. 509-19; herein incorporated by
reference in its entirety). An aspect of the drug screening
protocol can include a measurement of the effect of compounds onto
synaptic function. The APP/PS1 mouse presents an impairment of LTP
by the age of 3 months (Ann Neurol, 2004. 55(6): p. 801-14; herein
incorporated by reference in its entirety), and therefore permits a
relatively fast assessment of synaptic function without waiting a
long time for mice aging. LTP can be examined because it is a type
of synaptic plasticity thought to underlie learning and memory. YF2
can rescue the A.beta.-induced reduction of LTP, and other
compounds can also be screened to identify those that can
re-establish normal LTP. The compounds can be applied for 30 min.
Controls can be performed on slices from APP/PS1 mice treated with
vehicle, and WT mice treated with compound or vehicle. If the
compounds re-establish normal LTP in APP/PS1 slices, one can
conclude that the compounds rescue impairment of synaptic
plasticity in APP/PS1 mice. Cognitive impairment can also be
investigated (see Example 12).
[0277] Animals: Tg mice can be obtained by crossing
APP(K670M:N671L) with PS1(M146L) (line 6.2) animals. The genotype
can be identified by PCR on tail samples (Nature, 1996. 383(6602):
p. 710-3; Science, 1996. 274(5284): p. 99-102; J Mol Neurosci,
2002. 19(1-2): p. 135-41; each hereby incorporated by reference in
its entirety).
[0278] Electrophysiology can be performed on males (see description

[0279] Statistical Analyses: see Example 12.
Example 12: Screening for Amelioration of Cognitive Abnormalities
in APP/PS1 Mice
[0280] Treatment with a new HAT modulator indicated by Example 11
will study rescue of cognitive deficits in 3 and 6 month old
APP/PS1 mice. As behavioral tasks, the RAWM and contextual FC will
be used, two types of tests that assess different types of memory
(reference ad associative) that are affected in AD patients. The
treatment can be performed with the same timing (i.e. 30 min before
training for fear conditioning or before the 1.sup.st and 2.sup.nd
group of tests for the RAWM). Conditions to be tested can include:
APP/PS1 and WT treated with HAT activators, APP/PS1 and WT treated
with vehicle. After behavioral testing, mice can be sacrificed and
their blood and brains used for A.beta. level, Tau protein, TARDBP
and TDB levels, and alpha-synuclein measurements. As a control for
effectiveness of HAT modulator, hippocampal acetyl-H4 levels can be
measured after administration of the compounds 30 min prior to
training for fear conditioning and removal of the hippocampi 1 hr
after the electric shock (APP/PS1 mice have been shown to have a
reduction of acetylated H4 after the electric shock (J Alzheimers
Dis, 2009. 18(1): p. 131-9; hereby incorporated by reference in its
entirety). Further screening can include assays focusing on two
areas that have resulted in the withdrawal of many drugs from the
market: drug-drug interactions, hERG channel blockage.
[0281] Animals: see Example 11.
[0282] Behavioral Studies: Experiments can be performed in blind
only on male animals to reduce variability. A) Spatial memory. This
type of reference memory will be studied with the 2-day RAWM test,
as described (Nat Protoc, 2006. 1(4): p. 1671-9; hereby
incorporated by reference in its entirety). The task is a hybrid of
the Morris Water Maze (MWM) and the radial arm land maze. For these
experiments, visible platform testing can be conducted to exclude
that visual, motor and motivation deficits affect the mouse
performance, as described (Ann Neurol, 2004. 55(6): p. 801-14;
hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). B) Fear
Conditioning to examine both contextual and cued learning will be
assessed as described (J. Clin. Invest., 2004. 114: p. 1624-1634;
hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety). For these

sensory perception of electric foot in different groups of mice (J.
Clin. Invest., 2004. 114: p. 1624-1634; hereby incorporated by
reference in its entirety). In addition, the open-field test can be
conducted to evaluate exploratory as described (Neuroscience, 2007.
