is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety: a computer

196052000301SEQLIST.TXT, date recorded: Aug. 12, 2020, size: 1
KB).
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0003] This disclosure relates generally to therapeutic agents that
may be useful as inhibitors of Activating Transcription Factor 6
(ATF6).
BACKGROUND
[0004] Multiple myeloma (MM) remains a predominantly incurable
malignancy despite high-dose chemotherapy, autologous stem cell
transplant and novel agents. Proteasome inhibitors (PI) such as
Bortezomib have increased the response rate and survival of
patients with MM. The overall patient response rate of newly
diagnosed MM to Bortezomib and Dexamethasone is about 67%. In
relapsed refractory MM, the response rate is reduced to about
40-60%. Therefore, there are a significant number of MM patients
who are resistant to Bortezomib. MM cells are inherently sensitive
to PIs because of their large volume of immunoglobulin production,
which requires the constitutive expression of physiologic unfolded
protein response (UPR) genes. This appears to lower their threshold
for the induction of a proapoptotic/terminal UPR in response to
PI-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. One of the hallmarks
of UPR induction is the increased transcription and translation of
ER molecular chaperones. These genes are induced by the UPR
transcription factors XBP1 and ATF6. Although XBP1 splicing and its
resulting activation have been shown to be inhibited in PI-treated
MM cells, findings show that the high constitutive expression of 2
XBP1 target genes products, GRP78 and GRP94, is not reduced by PI
treatment and the observation that the XBP1-dependent UPR target
gene ERdj4 was normally induced by PIs suggest that the UPR remains
functional in PI-treated MM cells. Because both XBP1 and ATF6 can
bind to ER stress response elements in the promoters of UPR target
genes, it has been suggested that ATF6 may compensate for decreased
XBP1 activity in PI-treated MM cells. Consistent with this, it has
been shown that the induction of GRP78 and GRP94 is only slightly
impaired in XBP1.sup.-/- B cells and that the expression of GRP94
requires either, but not both, ATF6 or XBP1. Interestingly previous
studies have shown that XBP1 predicts sensitivity to Bortezomib and
its level correlates proportionally with sensitivity to Bortezomib.
Recently Harnoss J M et al. demonstrated using genetic and
pharmacologic disruption that in vitro and in vivo the IRE1a-XBP1s
pathway plays a critical role in MM growth. Indeed, the inhibition
of IRE1.alpha. kinase activity using a small molecule was
demonstrated to be a potential effective and safe therapy for
treating MM clinically.
[0005] In addition to the amount, PI sensitivity also appears to
involve the efficiency of immunoglobulin folding within MM cells.
The high constitutive expression of the ER resident chaperones
GRP78 and GRP94 in MM cell lines is consistent with reports that
physiologic UPR gene expression is required for professional
secretory cell function. Elevated levels of ER chaperones are
characteristic of plasma cells and their expression is essential
for proper antibody assembly and secretion. GRP78 has been shown to
stably bind to immunoglobulin heavy chains that have not yet
associated with immunoglobulin light chains and to assist in
immunoglobulin assembly. Furthermore, both GRP78 and GRP94 are
important for immunoglobulin light chain folding and targeting
unassembled subunits for degradation. The fact that the expression
of GRP78 and GRP94 is only slightly increased in MM cells treated
with PIs and classical ER stress agents suggests they already
express near-maximal levels of cytoprotective UPR proteins to
function as secretory cells. Thus, these cells may have a lower
threshold (compared with non-secretory cells) for induction of the
terminal UPR following any additional stress to the ER. Hence more
resistant myeloma clones as well as other non-secretory
malignancies may be sensitized to bortezomib by combining it with
agents that interfere with the UPR, such as modulators of ATF6
signaling pathway.
[0006] The accumulation of misfolded proteins in the EP of
mammalian cells causes the folding machinery to become overwhelmed
and leads to a stress response. Cells attempt to decrease the ER
protein load by sending signals from the ER to the nucleus,
activating a vast gene expression program that increases the
protein-folding capacity in the ER. However, if this system fails
and homeostasis cannot be re-established, cells die by engaging
apoptosis. The UPR is an evolutionarily conserved signal
transduction pathway that maintains protein homeostasis in response
to ER stress.
[0007] Three intertwined signaling pathways comprise the UPR: (1)
PERK (protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase); (2) IRE1
(inositol-requiring enzyme 1.alpha.); and (3) ATF6 (Activating
transcription factor 6) (McKimpson, W. M. et al, Circ Res, 2017,
120(5): 759-761). Activation of the ATF6 pathway leads to the
upregulation of genes, such as BIP (Grp78), CHOP or XBP-1, that
enhance the capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum to fold proteins
or mediate quality control. ATF6 works in partnership with IRE1, as
one of the target genes of ATF6 is XBP1, the key substrate of IRE1
(Yoshida, H., et al., Cell, 2001, 107(7): 881-891). PERK performs
several other roles including pausing the production of new
proteins to temporarily lower the protein-folding burden.
[0008] ATF6 is a type-II transmembrane protein localized in the ER
that functions as an ER stress sensor and transcription factor
(Adachi, Y., et al., Cell Struct Funct, 2008, 33(1): 75-89; Wu, J.,
et al., Dev Cell, 2007, 13(3): 351-64). When demand exceeds the
folding capacity of the ER, ATF6 is transported from the ER to the
Golgi apparatus, where sequential cleavage by two Golgi-resident
proteases, site-1 and site-2 proteases (SiP and S2P), releases its
N-terminal domain (ATF6N) from the Golgi membrane to be imported
into the nucleus where it activates transcription of its target
genes (Ye, J., et al., Mol Cell, 2000, 6(6): 1355-64). This
activation involves binding of ATF6 to a consensus sequence called
the ER-stress responsive element (ERSE). The consensus sequence of
ERSE is CCAATCGGCGGCGGCCACG (SEQ ID NO. 1).
[0009] ATF6-activated transcription targets play a role in the
pathogenesis and development of various diseases, including viral
infection, cancer, neurodegeneration, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral
ischemia, hereditary cerebellar atrophy and ataxia, type 2 diabetes
mellitus, and diabetic nephropathy, as well as cardiovascular
diseases, such as myocardial atrophy, heart failure, ischemic heart
disease and atherosclerosis (Chu, W. S., et al., Diabetes, 2007,
56(3): 856-62; Vekich, J. A., et al., J Mol Cell Cardiol, 2012,
53(2): 259-67, Liu, C. L., et al., Int J Mol Med, 2016, 37(2):
407-14). Therefore, inhibition of ATF6-mediated transcription may
provide a therapeutic strategy for these and other diseases in
which modulation of ATF6 is implicated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Definitions
[0026] For use herein, unless clearly indicated otherwise, use of
the terms "a", "an" and the like refers to one or more.
[0027] Reference to "about" a value or parameter herein includes
(and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or
parameter per se. For example, description referring to "about X"
includes description of "X".
[0028] "Alkyl" as used herein refers to and includes, unless
otherwise stated, a saturated linear (i.e., unbranched) or branched
univalent hydrocarbon chain or combination thereof, having the
number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C.sub.1-C.sub.10 means one
to ten carbon atoms). Particular alkyl groups are those having 1 to
20 carbon atoms (a "C.sub.1-C.sub.20 alkyl"), having 1 to 10 carbon
atoms (a "C.sub.1-C.sub.10 alkyl"), having 6 to 10 carbon atoms (a
"C.sub.6-C.sub.10 alkyl"), having 1 to 6 carbon atoms (a
"C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl"), having 2 to 6 carbon atoms (a
"C.sub.2-C.sub.6 alkyl"), or having 1 to 4 carbon atoms (a
"C.sub.1-C.sub.4 alkyl"). Examples of alkyl groups include, but are
not limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl,
n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl,
n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, and the like.
[0029] "Alkoxy" refers to the group R--O--, where R is alkyl; and
includes, by way of example, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy,
iso-propoxy, n-butoxy, tert-butoxy, sec-butoxy, n-pentoxy,
n-hexyloxy, 1,2-dimethylbutoxy, and the like.
[0030] "Aryl" or "Ar" as used herein refers to an unsaturated
aromatic carbocyclic group having a single ring (e.g., phenyl) or
multiple condensed rings (e.g., naphthyl or anthryl) which
condensed rings may or may not be aromatic. Particular aryl groups
are those having from 6 to 14 annular carbon atoms (a
"C.sub.6-C.sub.14 aryl"). An aryl group having more than one ring
where at least one ring is non-aromatic may be connected to the
parent structure at either an aromatic ring position or at a
non-aromatic ring position. In one variation, an aryl group having
more than one ring where at least one ring is non-aromatic is
connected to the parent structure at an aromatic ring position.
[0031] "Cycloalkyl" as used herein refers to and includes, unless
otherwise stated, saturated cyclic univalent hydrocarbon
structures, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e.,
C.sub.3-C.sub.10 means three to ten carbon atoms). Cycloalkyl can
consist of one ring, such as cyclohexyl, or multiple rings, such as
adamantyl. A cycloalkyl comprising more than one ring may be fused,
spiro or bridged, or combinations thereof. Particular cycloalkyl
groups are those having from 3 to 12 annular carbon atoms. A
preferred cycloalkyl is a cyclic hydrocarbon having from 3 to 8
annular carbon atoms (a "C.sub.3-C.sub.8 cycloalkyl"), having 3 to
6 carbon atoms (a "C.sub.3-C.sub.6 cycloalkyl"), or having from 3

Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to,
cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl,
norbornyl, and the like.
[0032] "Halo" or "halogen" refers to elements of the Group 17
series having atomic number 9 to 85. Preferred halo groups include
the radicals of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Where a
residue is substituted with more than one halogen, it may be
referred to by using a prefix corresponding to the number of
halogen moieties attached, e.g., dihaloaryl, dihaloalkyl,
trihaloaryl etc. refer to aryl and alkyl substituted with two
("di") or three ("tri") halo groups, which may be but are not
necessarily the same halogen; thus 4-chloro-3-fluorophenyl is
within the scope of dihaloaryl. An alkyl group in which each
hydrogen is replaced with a halo group is referred to as a
"perhaloalkyl." A preferred perhaloalkyl group is trifluoromethyl
(--CF.sub.3). Similarly, "perhaloalkoxy" refers to an alkoxy group
in which a halogen takes the place of each H in the hydrocarbon
making up the alkyl moiety of the alkoxy group. An example of a
perhaloalkoxy group is trifluoromethoxy (--OCF.sub.3).
[0033] The term "haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group with one or
more halo substituents, or one, two, or three halo substituents.

[0034] "Heteroaryl" as used herein refers to an unsaturated
aromatic cyclic group having from 1 to 14 annular carbon atoms and
at least one annular heteroatom, including but not limited to
heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. A heteroaryl group
may have a single ring (e.g., pyridyl, furyl) or multiple condensed

or may not be aromatic. Particular heteroaryl groups are 5 to
14-membered rings having 1 to 12 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6
annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen
and sulfur, 5 to 10-membered rings having 1 to 8 annular carbon
atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from
nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, or 5, 6 or 7-membered rings having 1
to 5 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms
independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. In one
variation, particular heteroaryl groups are monocyclic aromatic 5-,
6- or 7-membered rings having from 1 to 6 annular carbon atoms and
1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen,
oxygen and sulfur. In another variation, particular heteroaryl
groups are polycyclic aromatic rings having from 1 to 12 annular
carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms independently selected
from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. A heteroaryl group having more
than one ring where at least one ring is non-aromatic may be
connected to the parent structure at either an aromatic ring
position or at a non-aromatic ring position. In one variation, a
heteroaryl group having more than one ring where at least one ring
is non-aromatic is connected to the parent structure at an aromatic
ring position. A heteroaryl group may be connected to the parent
structure at a ring carbon atom or a ring heteroatom.

heterocycle comprising more than one ring may be fused, bridged or
spiro, or any combination thereof, but excludes heteroaryl groups.
The heterocyclyl group may be optionally substituted independently
with one or more substituents described herein. Particular
heterocyclyl groups are 3 to 14-membered rings having 1 to 13
annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms independently
selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, 3 to 12-membered rings
having 1 to 11 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 6 annular heteroatoms
independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, 3 to
10-membered rings having 1 to 9 annular carbon atoms and 1 to 4
annular heteroatoms independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen
and sulfur, 3 to 8-membered rings having 1 to 7 annular carbon
atoms and 1 to 4 annular heteroatoms independently selected from
nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, or 3 to 6-membered rings having 1 to 5

[0036] A "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refers to an
ingredient in a pharmaceutical formulation, other than an active
ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject. A pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier includes, but is not limited to, a buffer,
excipient, stabilizer, or preservative.
[0037] As used herein, "treatment" or "treating" is an approach for
obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results.
For example, beneficial or desired results include, but are not
limited to, one or more of the following: decreasing symptoms
resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those
suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other
medications required to treat the disease, delaying the progression
of the disease, and/or prolonging survival of an individual. In
reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation,
beneficial or desired results include shrinking a tumor (reducing
tumor size); decreasing the growth rate of the tumor (such as to
suppress tumor growth); reducing the number of cancer cells;
inhibiting, retarding or slowing to some extent and preferably
stopping cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs;
inhibiting (slowing to some extent and preferably stopping) tumor
metastasis; inhibiting tumor growth; preventing or delaying
occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or relieving to some
extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. In
some embodiments, beneficial or desired results include preventing
or delaying recurrence, such as of unwanted cell proliferation.
[0038] As used herein, an "effective dosage" or "effective amount"
of compound or salt thereof or pharmaceutical composition is an
amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results. For
prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results
such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity
of, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical,
histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its
complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting
during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial
or desired results include ameliorating, palliating, lessening,
delaying or decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the
disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the
disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat
the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via
targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or
prolonging survival. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell
proliferation, an effective amount comprises an amount sufficient
to cause a tumor to shrink and/or to decrease the growth rate of
the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth) or to prevent or delay
other unwanted cell proliferation. In some embodiments, an
effective amount is an amount sufficient to delay development. In
some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to
prevent or delay recurrence. An effective amount can be
administered in one or more administrations, in the case of cancer,
the effective amount of the drug or composition may: (i) reduce the
number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit,
retard, slow to some extent and preferably stop cancer cell
infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (i.e., slow to
some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit
tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay recurrence of tumor; and/or
(vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated
with the cancer. An effective dosage can be administered in one or
more administrations. For purposes of this disclosure, an effective
dosage of compound or a salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition
is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic
treatment either directly or indirectly. It is intended and
understood that an effective dosage of a compound or salt thereof,
or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in
conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical
composition. Thus, an "effective dosage" may be considered in the
context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a
single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount
if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable
result may be or is achieved.
[0039] As used herein, the term "individual" is a mammal, including
humans. An individual includes, but is not limited to, human,
bovine, horse, feline, canine, rodent, or primate. In some
embodiments, the individual is human. The individual (such as a
human) may have advanced disease or lesser extent of disease, such
as low tumor burden. In some embodiments, the individual is at an
early stage of a proliferative disease (such as cancer). In some
embodiments, the individual is at an advanced stage of a
proliferative disease (such as an advanced cancer).
[0040] It is understood that aspects and variations described
herein also include "consisting" and/or "consisting essentially of"
aspects and variations.

acceptable salt thereof. Also provided herein are, where
applicable, any and all stereoisomers of the compounds depicted
herein, including geometric isomers (e.g., cis/trans isomers or E/Z
isomers), enantiomers, diastereomers, or mixtures thereof in any
ratio, including racemic mixtures.
[0409] Representative examples of compounds detailed herein,
including intermediates and final compounds according to the
present disclosure are depicted herein. It is understood that in
one aspect, any of the compounds may be used in the methods
detailed herein, including, where applicable, intermediate
compounds that may be isolated and administered to an
individual.
[0410] The compounds depicted herein may be present as salts even
if salts are not depicted and it is understood that the present
disclosure embraces all salts and solvates of the compounds
depicted here, as well as the non-salt and non-solvate form of the
compound, as is well understood by the skilled artisan. In some
embodiments, the salts of the compounds provided herein are
pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Where one or more tertiary amine
moiety is present in the compound, the N-oxides are also provided
and described.
[0411] Where tautomeric forms may be present for any of the
compounds described herein, each and every tautomeric form is
intended even though only one or some of the tautomeric forms may
be explicitly depicted. The tautomeric forms specifically depicted
may or may not be the predominant forms in solution or when used
according to the methods described herein.
[0412] The present disclosure also includes any or all of the
stereochemical forms, including any enantiomeric or diastereomeric
forms of the compounds described. Compounds of any formula given
herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different
enantiomeric or diastereomeric forms. All optical isomers and
stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures
thereof in any ratio, are considered within the scope of the
formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a
racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more
diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms, and mixtures
thereof in any ratio. Where a compound of Table 1 is depicted with
a particular stereochemical configuration, also provided herein is
any alternative stereochemical configuration of the compound, as
well as a mixture of stereoisomers of the compound in any ratio.
For example, where a compound of Table 1 has a stereocenter that is
in an "S" stereochemical configuration, also provided herein is the
enantiomer of the compound wherein that stereocenter is in an "R"
stereochemical configuration. Likewise, when a compound of Table 1
has a stereocenter that is in an "R" configuration, also provided
herein is enantiomer of the compound in an "S" stereochemical
configuration. Also provided are mixtures of the compound with both
the "S" and the "R" stereochemical configuration. Furthermore,
certain structures may exist as geometric isomers (i.e., cis and
trans isomers), as tautomers, or as atropisomers. For example,
compounds of any formula given herein may contain bonds with
restricted rotation and therefore exist in different geometric
configurations. Where a compound of Table 1 is depicted as a
particular geometric isomer (e.g., E or Z isomer, or cis or trans
isomer), also provided herein is any alternative geometric
configuration of the compound, as well as a mixture of geometric
isomers of the compound in any ratio. For example, where a compound
of Table 1 is depicted as a "Z" isomer, also provided herein is the
"E" isomer of the compound. Likewise, where a compound of Table 1
is depicted as an "E" isomer, also provided herein is the "Z"
isomer of the compound. Also provided are mixtures of the compound
with both the "E" and the "Z" stereochemical configuration, wherein
the mixtures are in any ratio. Similarly, where a compound of Table
1 is depicted as a "cis" isomer, also provided herein is the
"trans" isomer of the compound; and where a compound is depicted as
a "trans" isomer, also provided herein is the "cis" isomer of the
compound. Also provided are mixtures of the compound with both the
"cis" and the "trans" stereochemical configuration, wherein the
mixtures are in any ratio. All forms of the compounds are also
embraced by the invention, such as crystalline or non-crystalline
forms of the compounds. Compositions comprising a compound of the
invention are also intended, such as a composition of substantially
pure compound, including a specific stereochemical form thereof, or
a composition comprising mixtures of compounds of the invention in
any ratio, including two or more stereochemical forms, such as in a
racemic or non-racemic mixture.
[0413] The invention also intends isotopically-labeled and/or
isotopically-enriched forms of compounds described herein. The
compounds herein may contain unnatural proportions of atomic
isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such
compounds. In some embodiments, the compound is
isotopically-labeled, such as an isotopically-labeled compound of
the formula (I) or variations thereof described herein, where a
fraction of one or more atoms are replaced by an isotope of the
same element. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into
compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon,
nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, such as .sup.2H,
.sup.3H, .sup.11C, .sup.13C, .sup.14C, .sup.13N, .sup.15O,
.sup.17O, .sup.32P, .sup.35S, .sup.18F, .sup.36Cl. Certain isotope
labeled compounds (e.g. .sup.3H and .sup.14C) are useful in
compound or substrate tissue distribution study. Incorporation of
heavier isotopes such as deuterium (2H) can afford certain
therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability,
for example, increased in vivo half-life, or reduced dosage
requirements and, hence may be preferred in some instances.
[0414] Isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention can
generally be prepared by standard methods and techniques known to
those skilled in the art or by procedures similar to those
described in the accompanying Examples substituting appropriate
isotopically-labeled reagents in place of the corresponding
non-labeled reagent.
[0415] The invention also includes any or all metabolites of any of
the compounds described. The metabolites may include any chemical
species generated by a biotransformation of any of the compounds
described, such as intermediates and products of metabolism of the
compound, such as would be generated in vivo following
administration to a human.
[0416] Articles of manufacture comprising a compound described
herein, or a salt or solvate thereof, in a suitable container are
provided. The container may be a vial, jar, ampoule, preloaded
syringe, I.V. bag, and the like.
[0417] Preferably, the compounds detailed herein are orally
bioavailable. However, the compounds may also be formulated for
parenteral (e.g., intravenous) administration.
[0418] One or several compounds described herein can be used in the
preparation of a medicament by combining the compound or compounds
as an active ingredient with a pharmacologically acceptable
carrier, which are known in the art. Depending on the therapeutic
form of the medication, the carrier may be in various forms. In one
variation, the manufacture of a medicament is for use in any of the
methods disclosed herein, e.g., for the treatment of cancer.
General Synthetic Methods
[0419] The compounds of the invention may be prepared by a number
of processes as generally described below and more specifically in
the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the
Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols
when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to
represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae
herein.
[0420] Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a
compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of
enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for
separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example,
diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture
of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral
compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient
means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer
recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be
separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained
by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes
described.
[0421] Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional
separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final
products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a
compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.
[0422] Solvates and/or polymorphs of a compound provided herein or
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are also contemplated.
Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric
amounts of a solvent, and are often formed during the process of
crystallization. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or
alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Polymorphs
include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same
elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have
different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting
points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical
properties, stability, and/or solubility. Various factors such as
the recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage
temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate
[0423] In some embodiments, compounds of the Formula (I) may be
synthesized according to Scheme 1.

an effective amount of a compound of Formula (A), (I), or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to the individual. In
some embodiments, the increased expression is in comparison to a
non-diseased tissue or cell.
[0450] The present compounds or salts thereof are believed to be
effective for treating a variety of diseases and disorders, such as
diseases wherein ATF6-activated transcription targets play a role
in the pathogenisis or development of the disease. For example, in
some embodiments, the present compounds and compositions may be
used to treat viral infection, cancer, a neurodegenerative disease,
or a vascular disease, such as a cardiovascular disease. In some
embodiments, the disease is viral infection, hereditary cerebellar
atrophy and ataxia, or Alzheimer's disease. In some embodiments,
the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus or diabetic nephropathy. In
some embodiments, the disease is myocardial atrophy, heart failure,
atherosclerosis, or ischemia, such as ischemic heart disease or
cerebral ischemia.
[0451] It has been demonstrated that ATF6 branch of the UPR is
central for viral infection. For example, ATF6 is important for
maintaining cell viability and modulating immune responses during
West Nile virus infection (Ambrose R J. Virol. February 2013 vol.
87 no. 4 2206-2214). Also, African swine fever virus activates ATF6
branch to prevent early apoptosis and ensure viral replication
(Galindo I, Cell Death Dis 2012 Jul. 5; 3:e341. doi:
10.1038/cddis.2012.81). Accordingly, in some embodiments, a
compound or salt thereof described herein or a composition
described herein may be used in a method of treating or preventing
a viral infection. In some embodiments, the viral infection is an
African swine fever virus, a dengue virus, an enterovirus, a
hepatitis B virus, a hepatitis C virus, influenza virus, a
tick-borne encephalitis virus, or a West Nile virus infection. In
some embodiments, the viral infection is caused by a virus that
activates ATF6 in an infected cell.
[0452] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method of
treating cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian
cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, lung
cancer, melanoma, fibrosarcoma, bone sarcoma, connective tissue
sarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, giant cell carcinoma, squamous cell
carcinoma, leukemia, skin cancer, soft tissue cancer, liver cancer,
gastrointestinal carcinoma, or adenocarcinoma. In some embodiments,
the compound, salt, or composition may be used in a method of
treating metastatic kidney cancer, chronic lymphocytary leukemia,
pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or non-small cell lung cancer.
[0453] ATF6.alpha. transcription targets are expressed at high
levels in cancer cells. For example, a correlation exists between
intracellular GRP78 level and tumor size (Cai, J. W., et al., J
Cell Physiol, 1993, 154(2): 229-37). Furthermore, when GRP78/BiP
expression was experimentally suppressed in cancer cells that were
then injected into mice, the cells were unable to form tumors due
to an increased sensitivity to cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response and
tumor necrosis factor (TNF) (Jamora, C., et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci
USA, 1996, 93(15): 7690-7694; Sugawara, S., et al., Cancer Res,
1993, 53(24): 6001-6005).
[0454] Cancer cells that are cellularly dormant lack proliferative
markers and exist in a quiescent state. Cells known to experience
cellulary dormancy include disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) and
tumor cells located within the circulation (termed circulating
tumor cells (CTCs)) (Hensel, J. A., et al., Nat Rev Clin Oncol,
2013, 10(1): 41-51). Minimal residual disease caused by solitary
DTCs is a well-recognized event associated with unfavorable patient
prognosis. DTCs, which usually stain negative for proliferation
markers (e.g., Ki67), may be the source of tumor recurrence that
can develop up to decades after treatment of the primary tumor
(Meng, S., et al., Clin Cancer Res, 2004, 10(24): 8152-8162).
ATF6.alpha. has been reported to be a transducing survival signal
through an ATF6.alpha.-Rheb-mTOR pathway for dormant carcinoma
cells (Schewe, D. M. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2008, 105(30):
10519-10524). ATF6.alpha. signaling is important for protection
against ER and low glucose stress, and the interaction between
ATF6.alpha. and mTOR signaling appears to confer resistance of
dormant cancer cells to doxorubicin and to the mTOR inhibitor
rapamycin, revealing a potential drug resistance mechanism (Schewe,
D. M. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2008, 105(30):
10519-10524).
[0455] In addition, a multicancer study showed higher ATF6
expression in metastases vs. primary lesions and colon cancer
patients with increased expression of ATF6.alpha. in their primary
tumors had higher chances of relapse (Ramaswamy, S., et al., Proc
Natl Acad Sci USA, 2001, 98(26): 15149-15154).
[0456] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method of
treating cancer in an individual, wherein one or more cancer cells
in the individual are dormant cancer cells. In some embodiments,
one or more of the dormant cancer cells are disseminated tumor
cells or circulating tumor cells. In some embodiments, one or more
of the dormant cancer cells are disseminated tumor cells.
[0457] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method of
treating cancer in an individual, wherein the individual has had a
prior treatment. In some embodiments, the cancer is resistant or
refractory to the prior treatment. In some embodiments, the cancer
has progressed on the prior treatment. In the embodiments, the
cancer is a recurrent cancer. In some embodiments, the prior
treatment was treatment with a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway
inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib), a taxane (e.g., paclitaxel or
docetaxel), a Cox-2 inhibitor (e.g., celecoxib), a platinum-based
antineoplastic drug (e.g., cisplatin or oxaliplatin), an
anthracycline (e.g. doxorubicin), a pyrimidine analog (e.g.
5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine), a topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g.,
etoposide), an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., rapamycin), an immune-check
point inhibitor, or an agent that is used in immune oncology. In
some embodiments, the cancer is resistant to treatment with a
ubiquitin-proteasome pathway inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib), a taxane
(e.g., paclitaxel or docetaxel), a Cox-2 inhibitor (e.g.,
celecoxib), a platinum-based antineoplastic drug (e.g., cisplatin
or oxaliplatin), an anthracycline (e.g. doxorubicin), a pyrimidine
analog (e.g. 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine), a topoisomerase
inhibitor (e.g., etoposide), an mTOR inhibitor (e.g., rapamycin),
an immune-check point inhibitor, or an agent that is used in immune
oncology. In some embodiments, the cancer is resistant to treatment
with doxorubicin and/or rapamycin.
[0458] In some embodiments, the administration of the compound,
salt, or composition reduces tumor growth, tumor proliferation, or
tumorigenicity in the individual. In some embodiments, the
compound, salt, or composition may be used in a method of reducing
tumor growth, tumor proliferation, or tumorigenicity in an
individual in need thereof. In some embodiments, tumor growth is
slowed or arrested. In some embodiments, tumor growth is reduced at
least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%. In some
embodiments, the tumor is reduced in size. In some embodiments,
tumor size is reduced at least about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%,
70%, 80%, or 90%. In some embodiments, tumor metastasis is
prevented or slowed. In some embodiments, the tumor growth, tumor
proliferation, or tumorigenicity is compared to the tumor growth,
tumor proliferation, or tumorigenicity in the individual prior to
the administration of the compound, salt, or composition. In some
embodiments, the tumor growth, tumor proliferation, or
tumorigenicity is compared to the tumor growth, tumor
proliferation, or tumorigenicity in a similar individual or group
of individuals. Methods of measuring tumor growth, tumor
proliferation, and tumorigenicity are known in the art, for example
by repeated imaging of the individual.
[0459] The present compounds or salts thereof are also believed to
be effective at inhibiting angiogenesis. Activation of ATF6 and
PERK contributes to the survival effect of vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF) on endothelial cells (ECs) by positively
regulating mTORC2-mediated phosphorylation of AKT on Ser473, which
is required for full activity of AKT. Depletion of PLC.gamma.,
ATF6, or eIF2a dramatically inhibited VEGF-induced vascularization
in vivo in mouse Matrigel plugs, a standard angiogenesis assay
(Karali, E. et al, Molecular Cell, 2014, 54:559-572). Accordingly,
the present compounds or salts thereof are believed to be effective
for treating a variety of diseases and disorders associtated with
angiogenesis.
[0460] Angiogenesis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a
variety of diseases disorders including solid tumors and
metastasis, atherosclerosis, retrolental fibroplasia, hemangiomas,
chronic inflammation, intraocular neovascular diseases such as
proliferative retinopathies, e.g., diabetic retinopathy,
age-related macular degeneration (AMD), neovascular glaucoma,
immune rejection of transplanted corneal tissue and other tissues,
rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. Accordingly, in some
embodiments, the present compounds and compositions are used in a
method to treat cancer, such as any cancer described herein,
undesired or aberrant hypertrophy, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), psoriasis, psoriatic plaques, sarcoidosis, atherosclerosis,
atherosclerotic plaques, diabetic and other proliferative
retinopathies including retinopathy of prematurity, retrolental
fibroplasia, neovascular glaucoma, age-related macular
degeneration, diabetic macular edema, corneal neovascularization,
corneal graft neovascularization, corneal graft rejection,
retinal/choroidal neovascularization, neovascularization of the
angle (rubeosis), ocular neovascular disease, vascular restenosis,
arteriovenous malformations (AVM), meningioma, hemangioma,
angiofibroma, thyroid hyperplasias (including Grave's disease),
corneal and other tissue transplantation, chronic inflammation,
lung inflammation, acute lung injury/ARDS, sepsis, primary
pulmonary hypertension, malignant pulmonary effusions, cerebral
edema (e.g., associated with acute stroke/closed head
injury/trauma), synovial inflammation, pannus formation in RA,
myositis ossificans, hypertropic bone formation, osteoarthritis
(OA), refractory ascites, polycystic ovarian disease,
endometriosis, 3rd spacing of fluid diseases (pancreatitis,
compartment syndrome, bums, bowel disease), uterine fibroids,
premature labor, chronic inflammation such as IBD (Crohn's disease
and ulcerative colitis), renal allograft rejection, inflammatory
bowel disease, nephrotic syndrome, undesired or aberrant tissue
mass growth (non-cancer), hemophilic joints, hypertrophic scars,
inhibition of hair growth, Osler-Weber syndrome, pyogenic granuloma
retrolental fibroplasias, scleroderma, trachoma, vascular
adhesions, synovitis, dermatitis, preeclampsia, ascites,
pericardial effusion (such as that associated with pericarditis),
and pleural effusion.
[0461] A breakdown in gut barrier defenses in conjunction with
microbial dysbiosis is emerging as a key contributor to several
disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes,
Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. Particularly, in patients with
colorectal cancer (CRC), high expression levels of ATF6 in tumor
tissues were associated with increased tumor size and reduced
disease-free survival. On the other hand, an altered microbiota has
been associated with CRC. These data suggest a connection between
activation of the UPR, the microbiota, and colon tumorigenesis. It
has been demonstrated that a novel relationship between UPR
activation via ATF6 and microbiota dependent colon tumorigenesis.
Goblet cell loss and bacterial infiltration into epithelial crypts
occur before tumor formation and antibiotic treatment of nATF6IEC
mice significantly decreased tumor burden. In an inducible mouse
model of ATF6 activation, there was 100% tumor incidence at 26
weeks. Four days after activated ATF6 induction, there was a
notable increase in the proximity of bacteria to the colonic
epithelium with increased cell proliferation, suggesting that these
alterations are early events downstream of ATF6 activation. Some
researchers found that microbial dysbiosis along with decreased
microbial diversity was present in the cecal contents of nATF6IEC
mice, as assessed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing at 5 weeks
of age, which is before the onset of tumorigenesis. This dysbiotic
microbiota enhanced tumor formation upon transfer into germ-free
nATF6IEC mice as compared with transfer of control microbiota into
nATF6IEC mice. These data suggest that microbial dysbiosis and
subsequent STAT3 signaling in the epithelium significantly
contribute to tumorigenesis in this model
[0462] Accordingly, in some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof
described herein or a composition described herein may be used in a
method for preventing or treating CRC through inhibition of ATF6
preventing goblet cell loss and dysbiosis. In some embodiments, a
compound or salt thereof described herein or a composition
described herein may be used in a method for blocking ATF6
signaling and reversing dysbiosis to antagonize tumor progression
in a subset of CRC patients.
[0463] The capacity of the UPR signaling arms to distinctly
influence ER proteostasis and function suggests that selective
activation of these pathways has significant potential to alleviate
pathologic imbalances in ER proteostasis associated with
etiologically diverse human diseases. In particular, activation of
the ATF6 signaling arm has been shown to be useful for ameliorating
disease-associated imbalances in ER proteostasis and function. The
stress-independent activation of the ATF6 transcription factor
using a chemical genetic approach induces protective remodeling of
ER proteostasis pathways to selectively reduce secretion and
extracellular aggregation of destabilized, amyloid
disease-associated proteins, such as transthyretin and
immunoglobulin light chain, without significantly impacting the
secretion of the endogenous proteome (Shoulders et al., 2013; Chen
et al., 2014; Cooley et al., 2014; Plate et al., 2016).
Accordingly, a compound or salt thereof described herein or a
composition described herein may be used in a method for correcting
pathologic imbalances in ER proteostasis in cellular and animal
models of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases.
[0464] One aspect of the present invention is based on the
unexpected discovery that overexpression of ATF6 in a cell prevents
cell death that would otherwise occur when an undesired
accumulation of proteins occurs in that cell. Accordingly, in some
embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described herein or a
composition described herein may be used in a method for treating a
condition such as Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with the
abnormal accumulation of molecules that interact with parkin and
that are not properly disposed of within a cell.
[0465] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method
for preventing cell death. For example, preventing neuronal cell
death is contemplated within the present invention, including
preventing the death of nigral neurons in a mammal, including
humans.
[0466] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method
for treating neurodegenerative diseases associated with abnormal
precipitation and/or aggregation of proteins. For example, the
brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease exhibit neurofibrillary
tangles (NFT), senile plaques, and cerebrovascular deposits of
amyloid-beta; the brains of patients with prion disorders exhibit
plaques comprising prion proteins; the brains of patients with
Huntington's disease exhibit huntingtin precipitates; patients with
dominantly inherited spinocerebellar ataxias exhibit corresponding
ataxin protein precipitates; patients with multiple system atrophy
exhibit alpha-synuclein deposits; patients with progressive
supranuclear palsy exhibit tau precipitates; and patients with
familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis exhibit SOD1 precipitates
(Johnson, W.G., J. Anat. 4:609-616 (2000)). Because these various
diseases share common pathological mechanisms, it is likely that
they share pathways that lead to aberrant aggregation and/or
precipitation of proteins (Hardy, J. and Gwinn-Hardy, K., Science
282(5391):1075-1079 (1998)).
[0467] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method as
either a stand-alone therapy, or as a conjunctive therapy with
other agents that are either palliative (e.g., agents that relieve
the symptoms of the disorder to be treated), and/or agents that
target the etiology of the disorder. For example, the
administration to a subject of a composition that increases the
expression of ATF6 may be carried out in conjunction with the
administration of L-DOPA, dopamine agonists, monoamine oxidase B
inhibitors, or any other composition useful in the treatment of a
neurodegenerative disease, such as Parkinson's disease.
[0468] Overexpression of the active ATF6 transcription factor in
the heart also has been shown to improve cardiac performance in
mouse models of ischemic heart disease, through a mechanism
involving ATF6-dependent regulation of the antioxidant gene,
catalase (Jin et al., 2017). Similarly, overexpression of the
active ATF6 transcription factor in the liver improves insulin
sensitivity in obese mice (Ozcan et al., 2016). These results
indicate that ATF6 activation offers a unique therapeutic
opportunity to ameliorate ER proteostasis defects implicated in
diverse diseases.
[0469] In some embodiments, a compound or salt thereof described
herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method
for enhancing myocardial recovery from I/R damage, specifically by
activating the endogenous adaptive ATF6 gene program in the
heart.
[0470] The ATF6.alpha. pathway also plays a role in stress-induced
lipid accumulation. p50ATF6 interacts with the nuclear form of
SREBP-2, thereby antagonizing SREBP-2-regulated transcription of
lipogenic genes and lipid accumulation in cultured hepatocytes and
kidney cells. Moreover, Atf6.alpha.-deleted mice displayed hepatic
dysfunction and steatosis much longer than wild-type mice in
response to pharmacological induction of ER stress. This could be
explained by chronic expression of CHOP and sustained suppression
of C/EBP.alpha. and/or a failure of ATF6.alpha.-mediated induction
of genes encoding protein chaperone, trafficking, and ERAD
functions. When fed a HFD, Atf6.alpha..sup.-/- mice developed
hepatic steatosis and glucose intolerance in association with
increased expression of SREBP-1c. On the other hand, overexpression
of a functionally active nuclear fragment of ATF6 in zebrafish
caused fatty liver, suggesting that fine-tuning of ATF6.alpha. may
be important to prevent liver steatosis.

herein or a composition described herein may be used in a method of

glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, metabolic syndrome, acute
myocardial infarction, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases,
atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, apoplexy, heart
failure, coronary artery heart disease, renal disease, diabetic
complications, neuropathy, gastroparesis, disorder associated with
a serious inactivation mutation in insulin receptor, and other
metabolic disorders.

ATF6 is known to work in partnership with IRE1, as one of the
target genes of ATF6 is XBP1, the key substrate of IRE1 (Yoshida,
H., et al., Cell, 2001, 107(7): 881-891), for example ATF6 and IRE1
signaling are important for survival of melanoma cells undergoing
ER stress, suggesting a potential benefit in the use of ATF6
inhibitors in combination with IRE1 inhibitors (Tay, K. H., et al.,
Cell Signal, 2014, 26(2): 287-294). Accordingly, in some
embodiments, the agent modulates the IRE1/XBP1 pathway. In some
embodiments, the agent inhibits the IRE1/XBP1 pathway. In some
embodiments, the agent inhibits IRE1 or XBP1.
[0478] In some embodiments, the agent is an anti-angiogenesis
agent. The present compounds or salts thereof are believed to be
effective at inhibiting angiogenesis and for treating diseases and
disorders associtated with angiogenesis. Accordingly, provided
herein is a method of inhibiting angiogenesis comprising
administering to an individual (a) a compound described herein, or
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical
composition described herein and (b) an anti-angiogenesis agent.
Also provided herein is a method of treating a disease or disorder
associated with angiogenesis, such as any disease or disorder
associated with angiogenesis disclosed herein, comprising
administering to an individual (a) a compound described herein, or
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical
composition described herein and (b) an anti-angiogenesis agent. In
some embodiments, the anti-angiogenesis agent is a VEGF antagonist.
In some embodiments, the anti-angiogenesis agent is bevacizumab or
ranibizumab.
[0479] The role of angiogenesis as a mediator of immune regulation
in the tumor microenvironment has recently come into focus.
Furthermore, emerging evidence indicates that immunotherapy can
lead to immune-mediated vasculopathy in the tumor, suggesting that
the tumor vasculature may be an important interface between the
tumor-directed immune response and the cancer itself. The
introduction of immune checkpoint inhibition as an effective
immunotherapeutic strategy for many cancers has led to a better
understanding of this interface. Initial studies of the complex
relationship between angiogenesis, VEGF signaling and the immune
system suggest that the combination of immune checkpoint blockade
with angiogenesis inhibition has potential and efforts to enhance
immunotherapy will broadly impact the future of oncology. The
effect of ATF6 over VEGF signaling reinforces the idea of the use
of ATF6 inhibitors as a combination with immune checkpoint
inhibitors (Ott, P. A., F. S. Hodi, and E.I. Buchbinder, Inhibition
of Immune Checkpoints and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor as
Combination Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma: An Overview of
Rationale, Preclinical Evidence, and Initial Clinical Data. Front
Oncol, 2015. 5: p. 202).
[0480] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the agent targets an
immune checkpoint protein. In some embodiments, the agent is an
antibody that targets an immune checkpoint protein. In some
embodiments, the agent targets PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA4, TIM3,
LAG3, CCR4, OX40, OX40L, IDO, and A2AR. In some embodiments, the
agent is an anti-PD-1 antibody, an anti-PD-L1 antibody, or an
anti-CTLA-4 antibody.
[0481] Provided herein is a method of enhancing an immune response
in an individual comprising administering to the individual (a) a
compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt
thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition described herein and (b)
an agent that targets an immune checkpoint protein. In some
embodiments, the individual has cancer. In some embodiments, the
enhanced immune response is directed to a tumor or cancerous
cell.
[0482] Also provided herein are methods of treating cancer in an
individual in need thereof comprising administering to the
individual (a) a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition described
herein and (b) an agent that targets an immune checkpoint protein,
wherein an immune response of the individual is increased.
[0483] In some embodiments, the agent is an anticancer agent. In
some embodiments, anticancer agent is an ubiquitin-proteasome
pathway inhibitor (e.g., bortezomib), a taxane (e.g., paclitaxel or
docetaxil), a Cox-2 inhibitor (e.g., celecoxib), a platinum-based
antineoplastic drug (e.g., cisplatin or oxaliplatin), an
anthracycline (e.g. doxorubicin), a pyrimidine analog (e.g.
5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine), a topoisomerase inhibitor (e.g.,
etoposide), or an agent that modulates the Unfolded Protein
Response or the Integrated Stress Response (e.g. an IRE1/XBP1
inhibitor or a PERK inhibitor). In some embodiments, the anticancer
agent is oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, or gemcitabine. In some
embodiments, the anticancer agent is an immune-check point
inhibitor, or an agent that is used in immune oncology.
[0484] In some embodiments, an effective amount of a compound
described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or
a pharmaceutical composition described herein is administered to an
individual with cancer to increase sensitivity to one or more
anticancer treatments.
[0485] Therapeutic resistance is a major barrier to improvement of
outcomes for patients with cancer. Radiation can induce ER stress
and its downstream signaling and appears to be linked to changes in
ROS balance secondary to irradiation. Previously, knockdown of ATF6
was sufficient to enhance radiation induced cell death (Dadey, D.
Y., et al., Oncotarget, 2016, 7(2): 2080-2092). This suggests ATF6
as a potential therapeutic target to enhance the efficacy of
radiation therapy.
[0486] In some embodiments, an effective amount of a compound
described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or
a pharmaceutical composition described herein is administered to an
individual with cancer to increase sensitivity to radiation. In
some embodiments, provided herein are methods of treating cancer in
an individual in need thereof comprising administering to the
individual (a) a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically
acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition described
herein and (b) radiation.
[0487] In some embodiments, an effective amount of a compound
described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or

or oxaliplatin), an anthracycline (e.g. doxorubicin), a pyrimidine
analog (e.g. 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine), a topoisomerase
inhibitor (e.g., etoposide), or an agent that modulates the
Unfolded Protein Response or the Integrated Stress Response (e.g.
an IRE1/XBP1 inhibitor or a PERK inhibitor). In some embodiments,
the anticancer agent is oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, or
gemcitabine. In some embodiments, the anticancer agent is an
immune-check point inhibitor, or an agent that is used in immune
oncology.
[0488] Provided herein is a method of treating metabolic and/or
fibrotic diseases in an individual comprising administering to the

Biological Examples
Example B1. ERSE ATF6-luciferase assays
[0915] Human bone osteosarcoma (U2-OS) cells were obtained from the
American Type Culture Collection (ATCC HTB-96, ATCC Manassas, Va.)
and were cultured with growing medium containing Dulbecco's
Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) (Cat. No.:SH30023.02, HyClone)
supplemented with fetal bovine serum (FBS) 10% (Cat. No.: 16000044,
Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotic cocktail (Cat.
No.: SV30010, Hyclone).
[0916] Cignal Lenti ATF6 luc reporter (Qiagen #CLS-6031L) was used
to produce a stable cell line in U2-OS cells. The lenti ATF6
reporter is a preparation of replication incompetent, VSV-g
pseudotyped lentivirus particles expressing the firefly luciferase
gene under the control of a minimal (m)CMV promoter and tandem
repeats of the ATF6 transcriptional response element (TRE). The
number of response elements as well as the intervening sequence
between response elements has been experimentally optimized to
maximize the signal to noise ratio.
[0917] Compounds were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions and stored
at -80.degree. C.
[0918] U2-OS ATF6 luc reporter cells were thawed 3-4 days and split
once prior to assays. For the primary screening, 40,000 U2-OS ATF6
luc cells were plated in 100 .mu.L per well in white 96 well plates
(Thermo Scientific Nunc #136101) pre-coated with poly-D-lysine
(Cat. No.:P2636, Sigma) and incubated in humidified chambers for 24
hr. At the day of experiment, cells were pre-treated for 30 min
with 50 .mu.L growing medium containing either vehicle (dimethyl
sulfoxide (DMSO)) (Cat. No.: D2650, Sigma-Aldrich) or 1 .mu.M test
compound. After the pre-incubation time, 50 .mu.L of a solution
containing 0.2 .mu.M thapsigargin (Tg)(an ER stress inducer) was
added to respective wells. This Tg solution also contained vehicle
or test compounds at 1 .mu.M. The final concentration of DMSO in
each well was kept at 0.3%. Plates were incubated for 8 hr in
humidified chambers.
[0919] Finally, after 8 hr, plates were cooled to room temperature
for 10 min prior to luciferase assays. Luciferase reactions were
performed using Luciferase Assay System (Cat. No.:E4550, Promega).
Briefly, each well was washed with 100 .mu.l of PBS1X and then 20
.mu.l of lysis reagent were added into each well. Plates were
shaken for 10 min, then 50 .mu.l of Luciferase Assay Reagent were
added to each well and luminescence was read with an integration
time of 1 s and a gain of 110 in a Synergy 4 Microplate reader.
[0920] For comparison between days each plate was normalized using
unstressed (DMSO, 100% inhibition) and ER stressed (thapsigargin,
0% inhibition) controls and the percent inhibition of ER stress
induced luciferase for each compound was calculated.
[0921] Percent inhibition of thapsigargin-induced ER stress in
ATF6-luc cell reporter at 1 .mu.M was determined for compounds
1-37, and ceapin-A4, ceapin-A7, and ceapin-A8, and is shown in
Table 2.

[0922] For the assessment of the half-maximal inhibitory
concentration (IC.sub.50) for selected compounds, dose-response
assays were performed. Compounds were serially diluted using DMSO
starting at 30 .mu.M until 1 nM. The assays were run as described
above. IC.sub.50 values inhibitory activity compounds 1-37, and
Ceapin-A4, Ceapin-A7, and Ceapin-A8 are also shown in Table 2.
Example B2: Oral Bioavailability and PK Parameters
[0923] Tested compounds were formulated at 1 mg/mL as a dosing
solution for oral administration in vehicle A: 10%
dimethylacetamide (DMAC), 20% propylene glycol, and 40% PEG-400 or
vehicle B: 10% Kolliphor.RTM. EL and 10% ethanol (EtOH).
[0924] Balb/c mice approximately 9-10 weeks old were obtained from
the vivarium Fundacion Ciencia & Vida Chile (Santiago, Chile)
and were maintained in a temperature-controlled room with 12/12 hr
light/dark schedule with food and water ad libitum. Animals were
acclimated for a minimum period of 4 days upon arrival at the
testing facility.
[0925] At the day of study, mice were weighed, identified by
marking the tail with numbers using a non-toxic permanent marker,
and designated into ten experimental groups (n=3 per group). Each
mouse from all experimental groups received a single oral dose at
10 mg/kg tested compounds by oral gavage using feeding tubes 20G
(Cat. No.: FTP-2038; Instech Salomon Inc.).
[0926] Experimental groups were sacrificed by CO.sub.2-asphyxiation
at different time points (0.083, 0.167, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8
and 24 hr after dosing) and blood samples were harvested by
terminal cardiac puncture. Non-dosed mice were used to collect
samples of zero time points. Whole blood was collected into
microtainer tubes with (K2) EDTA (Cat. No.: #365974; Becton
Dickinson & Co.). Blood samples were centrifuged immediately at
9,000 g at 4.degree. C. for 5 minutes and then plasmas were
separated. Plasma samples were placed into individually labeled
cryovials and stored in a -80.degree. C. freezer until LC/MS/MS
bioanalysis.
[0927] The bioanalysis of plasma samples was conducted with a QTRAP
4500 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Applied Biosystems SCIEX)
in the positive ion mode and interfaced with an Ekspert Ultra LC100
UPLC System (Eksigent). Calibration standards (0.01 to 10 .mu.M)
and QCs (0.02, 0.2 and 2.0 .mu.M) were prepared from naive mouse
plasma in parallel with mouse plasma study samples (60 .mu.L) by
precipitation with three volumes of ice cold internal standard
solution (acetonitrile containing 20 .mu.M of theophylline). The
precipitated samples were centrifuged at 6,100 g for 30 min.
Following centrifugation, an aliquot of each supernatant was
transferred to an autosampler plate and diluted with two volumes of
aqueous mobile phase (0.1% formic acid in water). Samples were
injected onto a reverse phase analytical column (YMC Triart C18;
2.0.times.50 mm; 1.9 .mu.m; YMC CO) and eluted with a gradient of
0.1% formic acid in Acetonitrile. Assayed test compound and
internal standards were monitored by a multiple reaction monitoring
(MRM) experiment using an Analyst software (v1.6.2, Applied
Biosystems SCIEX). Quantitation was conducted using a MultiQuant
software (v2.1, Applied Biosystems SCIEX) and the resulting
calibration curve was fitted with a linear regression and 1/x
weighting. The lower limits of quantitation were 1<LLQ<5
ng/mL.
[0928] Oral PK parameters were calculated for compounds from the
concentration-time data using Phoenix WinNonlin software (v6.4,
Certara, Princeton, N.J.) by noncompartmental analysis in the
sparse sampling mode, as shown in Table 3.

microsomes (rLM) (#RTMCPL; Thermo) and 1 mM reduced
dihydronicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) (#N1630;
Sigma) in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37.degree. C. The
reactions were terminated at 0, 5, 15 and 30 min by the addition of
cold acetonitrile containing 50 ng/mL propranolol as an internal
standard. The reaction mixtures were partitioned by centrifugation
at 15,000 rpm for 15 min and the resulting supernatants were
analyzed for percent remaining, Half-life (t.sub.1/2, min) and
clearance at infinity or intrinsic clearance (CL.sub.int) by
LC-MS/MS (Shimadzu Nexera UPLC with an ABSciex 4500 detector).
Verapamil hydrochloride (#V4369 Aldrich) was used as a positive

Example B5: Plasma Stability Assay
[0932] Compounds are incubated at a final concentration of 1 .mu.M
with human, rat and mouse neat plasma at 37.degree. C. The
reactions are terminated at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours post
initiation by the addition of cold acetonitrile containing
propranolol (50 ng/mL) as an internal standard. The reaction
mixtures are partitioned by centrifugation at 15,000 rpm for 15 min
and the resulting supernatants are analyzed for remaining compound
by LC-MS/MS (Shimadzu Nexera UPLC with an AB Sciex 4500 detector).
Procaine hydrochloride (#46608 Aldrich) is used as control for
human plasma, Enalpril (#E6888 Aldrich) for rat plasma and
Propentheline (#P8891 Aldrich) for mouse plasma.
Example B6: Plasma Protein Binding
[0933] The plasma protein binding (PPB) of the compounds in mouse
and human plasma is determined using equilibrium dialysis. Plasma
containing 2 .mu.m of a compound is aliquoted in one of the
chambers of a dialyzer insert (#89809 Thermo). The dialyzer insert
contains two chambers of 250 .mu.L volume each, separated by a semi
permeable membrane. The second chamber is filled with phosphate
buffer saline (PBS) pH 7.4. The assembly is incubated for 4 hours
at 37.degree. C. in a water bath. At the end of incubation, an
aliquot of plasma and PBS are precipitated using chilled
acetonitrile. The samples are vortexed for 30 min, centrifuged for
20 min at 3500 rpm at 4.degree. C. The supernatant is analyzed by
LC/MS/MS (Shimadzu Nexera UPLC with an AB Sciex 4500 detector). The
% PPB is determined using the following equation % PPB=% total
drug-% free drug. Miconazole (#M3512 Aldrich) is used as positive
control.

37.degree. C. 50 .mu.M phenacetin, 2 .mu.M midazolam, 5 .mu.M
diclofenac, 50 .mu.M mephenytoin, 80 .mu.M bupropiaon, and 5 .mu.M
dextromethorphan were used as probe substrates of CYP1A2, CYP3A4,
CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and CYP2D6, respectively. The incubation
times were 20 min for CYP1A1, CYP2D6, CYP2C.sub.9, CYP2B6, and
CYP2C8; 40 min for CYP2C19; and 10 min for CYP 3A4. Following
incubations, the reactions were terminated with acetonitrile
containing internal standard. The samples were centrifuged and the
supernatants were analyzed for the formation of metabolites
(1-hydroxymidazolam (CYP3A4), 4-hydroxydiclofenac (CYP2C9),
4-hydroxymephenytoin (CYP2C19) and dextrorphan (CYP21D6),
hydroxybupropion (CYP2B6), acetaminophen (CYP1A2),
desethylamodiaquine (CYP2C8)) by LC/MS/MS. Selective inhibitors for
all isoforms were screened alongside as positive controls. A
decrease in the formation of metabolites compared to vehicle
control (1000%) was used to estimate % inhibition, and the
IC.sub.50 was estimated from concentration-response curves.
Parameters were calculated for specific compounds as shown in Table
6.

Example B8: Cell Proliferation Assays
[0935] Pancreatic and colon cancer cell lines are maintained in
growing medium containing DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1%
penicillin-streptomycin antibiotic cocktail. The chemotherapeutic
agents oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and gemcitabine will be obtained
from Sigma-Aldrich.
[0936] Cell proliferation is measured by both CellTiter-Glo.RTM.
and MTT assays. Briefly, 2,000 cells will be seeded in a 96 well
plate overnight. Cells are treated with either single
chemotherapeutic agents oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and
gemcitabine or with the combination of a test compound and
oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, or gemcitabine. At 72 hours
post-treatment, luminescent-based cell viability is determined
using Cell-Titer Glo (CTG) assay according to the manufacturer's
instructions (Cat. No.: G7573, Promega). Percent of cell
viability/proliferation is determined by normalizing luminescence
signal to untreated control well. All treatments are done in
triplicate and reported as % Viability.+-.SD and %
Proliferation.+-.SD. Dose response curves are generated to
calculate the half-maximal growth inhibition concentration
(GI.sub.50) in GraphPad Prism version 6.07.
Example B9: Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC) Cell Line
Screening
[0937] A panel of cancer cell lines from different malignancies is
used to test the effect of selected compounds by cell viability
assay, 72 hours post-treatment, as described in Yang et al. Nucleic
Acids Research, 2013, 41(D1): D955-D961. Dose response curves are
used to calculate IC.sub.50 in GraphPad Prism version 6.07.
Example B10: In Vitro Tube Formation Assay
[0938] HUVEC cells are pretreated with 100 ng/ml VEGF for 2 h and
then incubated for 24 h with test compounds at different
concentrations. Cells without VEGF or treated with vehicle plus
VEGF are used as controls. Cells are detached and seeded (between
5.times.10.sup.3-1.times.10.sup.4) in a 96 well plate covered with
EC-Matrix.TM. using the in vitro Angiogenesis assay Kit (Merck)
according the manufacturer's instructions and cultured overnight.
Tube formation is evaluated by light microscopy. Pattern
recognition is evaluated and a numerical value will be associated
with a degree of angiogenesis progression (Table 7), several random
view-fields (3-10) per well are examined and the values are
averaged.
TABLE-US-00007 TABLE 7 Assessment of degree of angiogenesis

begin to migrate and align themselves 1 Capillary tubes visible. No
sprouting. 2 Sprouting of new capillary tubes visible. 3 Closed
polygons begin to form 4 Complex mesh like structures develop 5
[0939] Counting of capillary tubes branch points (Branch Point
Counting) formed after a set amount of time (end-point assay) is
evaluated. The length of the newly formed capillary tubes is also
determined. Branch points in several random view-fields (3-10) per
well are counted and the values are averaged. Total Capillary Tube
Length is measured in several random view-fields (3-10) per well
and the values are averaged. In addition, a visualization of
cell-tubes is performed by staining of the tubes with Masson's
trichrome.
Example B11: In-Vivo PANC-1 Tumor Model
[0940] Six- to seven-week-old female athymic nu/nu mice are
purchased from Taconic (Hudson, N.Y.) are acclimated for 1 week on
arrival to the animal facility before in-vivo study is initiated.
To ensure high tumor take in mice, all cells are grown at
exponential growth rates. The PANC-1 cells are collected via
trypsin-EDTA, and viability is determined by trypan blue exclusion.
Then, the concentration of the cell suspension is adjusted to the
required density for injection. One million cells (containing
matrigel plus PANC-1 cells in a vol=100 .mu.L) are injected
subcutaneously into 6-7 week old athymic BALB/C nude mice. The
injection site is continually monitored to determine tumor
establishment. Tumors are measured using a digital caliper. When
tumor volume reaches an average of 100-150 cm.sup.3, mice are
randomly assigned to a single agent chemotherapeutic agent control
group, a single agent compound group, or a combination groups.
Compounds are delivered in a solution of 10% Kolliphor.RTM. EL and
10% Ethanol by oral gavage. Chemotherapeutic agents are
administered by intra-peritoneal injection. The length (L) and
width (W) of the tumors are measured 1-2 times a week using a
digital caliper, and the volume of the tumor is calculated using
the formula: 0.5*L*W.sup.2. Mice are also weighed once a week to
monitor signs of drug toxicity. After final dose, the mice are
humanely euthanized and whole blood samples are collected by
cardiac puncture and tissues are excised for further analysis.
Tumor tissue is removed and weighed. All other tissues of interest
are snap frozen, and are immersed in RNA later or placed in 10% NBF
for histology.
Example B12: Matrigel Plug Angiogenesis Assay
[0941] Four- to six-week-old male C.sub.57 BL/6 mice are used to
assay angiogenesis using the Matrigel Plug assay (Birdsey et al.,
Blood, 2008, 111:3498-3506). Cold Matrigel (BD) supplemented with
VEGF (250 ng/ml) and heparin (50 U/ml) are mixed with different
concentration of test compound. In each experimental group, five
mice are lightly anesthetized using isoflurane, and cold Matrigel
(0.5 ml) containing the above-mentioned additions are injected into
the abdominal subcutaneous tissue along the peritoneal midline.
After 7 days, mice are euthanized, and Matrigel plugs are removed
and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, sectioned,
and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained. Staining with CD31 is
used for the qualitative identification of endothelial cells in
histological tissue sections.
Example B13: Xenograft Studies
[0942] Cells are grown on chorioallantoic membranes (CAMs) as
described (Schewe, D. M. et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2008,
105(30): 10519-10524). For nude mice experiments,
0.5.times.10.sup.6 cells are inoculated subcutaneously (s.c.) in
the interscapular region of 2- to 3-month-old female BALB/c nude
mice. Tumor growth is measured daily by using a caliper.
Example B14: Modulation of ER Proteostasis Network in MM Cell
Lines
[0943] Because MM cells, similar to their normal counterparts,
produce significant amounts of ER-processed proteins, it has been
proposed that these cells may be sensitive to perturbations in
protein degradation, which would result in the activation of the
UPR. One of the hallmarks of UPR induction is the increased
transcription and translation of ER molecular chaperones. These
genes are induced by the UPR transcription factors XBP1 and ATF6.
Although XBP1 splicing and its resulting activation have been shown
to be inhibited in PI-treated MM cells, it has been demonstrated
that the high constitutive expression of 2 XBP1 target genes
products, GRP78 and GRP94, is not reduced by PI treatment and the
observation that the XBP1-dependent UPR target gene ERdj4 was
normally induced by PIs suggest that the UPR remains functional in
PI-treated MM cells. Because both XBP1 and ATF6 can bind to ER
stress response elements in the promoters of UPR target genes, it
has been suggested that ATF6 may compensate for decreased XBP1
activity in PI-treated MM cells. Consistent with this, it has been
shown that the induction of GRP78 and GRP94 is only slightly
impaired in XBP1.sup.-/- B cells and that the expression of GRP94
requires either, but not both, ATF6 or XBP1.
[0944] To determine if exemplary compounds of the invention can
modulate of ER proteostasis network, ATF6-dependent molecular
components including GRP78/BiP, GRP94 and others were investigated
in MM cell lines in absence or presence of Tg-induced ER
stress.
[0945] U-266, OPM-2, and JJN-3 cells were obtained from
Leibniz-Institut DSMZ (Germany). U-266 and OPM-2 cell lines were
cultured in RPMI-1640 media supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (Cat.
No.:16000044, Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotic
cocktail. JJN-3 cell line was cultured in 45% (v/v) DME/F-12 media
and 45% (v/v) Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM) (Cat.
No.:12440046, Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% (v/v)
FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotic cocktail.
[0946] At the day of experiment, U-266, OPM-2, and JJN-3 cells
(1.5.times.10.sup.6 per well) were seeded in 750 .mu.L growing
medium in 6-well plate and pre-treated for 30 min adding 750 .mu.L
growing medium containing either vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide
(DMSO)) (Cat. No.: D2650, Sigma-Aldrich) or an exemplary compound
of the invention at 10 .mu.M. After the pre-incubation time, 500
.mu.L of growing medium containing 0.2 .mu.M Tg were added to
respective wells. This Tg solution also contained vehicle or
testing compound at 10 .mu.M. The final concentration of DMSO in
each well was kept at 0.3%. Plates were incubated for 16 hr in
humidified chambers. After incubation, cells were mechanically
lysed using 29G syringes (Cat. No.: 326770, BD Ultra-Fine) in
1.times. cell lysis buffer (Cat. No.:9803S, Cell Signaling
Technology) containing protease (Cat. No.:4693159001, Roche) and
phosphatase inhibitors (Cat. No.:4906837001, Roche). Cell lysates
were disrupted by sonication in a water bath and then cleared by
centrifugation at 13,500 rpm for 15 min. Supernatants containing
protein samples were harvested and then quantified using the BCA
protein assay kit (Cat. No.:23225, Thermofisher Scientific). Equal
amounts of total proteins (15 .mu.g) were loaded and separated by
SDS-PAGE, electro-transferred to PVDF membranes (Cat. No.:
162-0177, Bio-Rad) and blocked in 3% BSA solution for 1 hour.
Membranes were probed with the following antibodies:
BiP(C.sub.50B12) (Cat. No.:3177S, Cell Signaling Technology),
HERPUD1 (Cat. No.:267305, Cell Signaling Technology), HYOU1 (Cat.
No.:13452S, Cell Signaling Technology), p58.sup.IPK (Cat. No.:2940,
Cell Signaling Technology), ERdj3 (Cat. No.: SC-271240, Santa Cruz
Biotechnology), GRP94 (Cat. No.:PA5-27866, Thermofisher
Scientific), .beta.-actin (Cat. No.:A5441, Sigma-Aldrich). Primary
antibodies were detected using appropriate horseradish peroxidase
(HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies, Rabbit IgG HRP-conjugated
Antibody (Cat. No.:611-1322, Rockland Immunochemicals Inc.) or
Mouse IgG HRP-conjugated Antibody (Cat. No.:610-1302, Rockland
Immunochemicals Inc.). BiP, ERdj3, HERPUD1, HYOU1 and p58.sup.IPK
antibodies were used at 1:1,000 dilution, while GRP94 antibody was
used at 1:2,000 dilution for overnight hybridization at 4.degree.
C. .beta.-actin was used 1:10,000 for 24 hr hybridization at
4.degree. C. Incubations with horseradish peroxidase
(HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies were performed using 1:10,000
dilution for 2 hours at room temperature. Finally, blots were
revealed using the Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Cat.
No.:32106, Thermo Fisher Scientific) under conditions recommended
by the manufacturer. Images were captured using the ChemiDoc-MP
Imaging System (Bio-Rad) and analyzed with Image Lab Software
(Bio-Rad).
[0947] Comparison of efficacy between an exemplary compound of the
invention and Val-boroPro at 100 and 1000 nM for inhibiting the
proteolytic processing of rhFGF21 by rhFAP in vitro is showed in
FIG. 1. As shown by the immunoblotting image and densitometry
analysis, the intact form of rhFGF21 is preserved in presence of
one exemplary compound of the invention even at low
concentration.
Example B15: Cytoxicity Assays in AM Cell Lines
[0948] The effect of the remodeling of ER proteostasis network
mediated by exemplary compounds of the invention on the cell
viability of MM cell lines in absence ER stress was
investigated.
[0949] U-266, OPM-2, and JJN-3 cells were cultured as described
above. At the day of the experiment, U-266 (2.times.10.sup.4
cells/well), OPM-2 (1.times.10.sup.4 cells/well), JJN3
(4.times.10.sup.3 cells/well) cells were seeded in white 96-well
plate in 100 .mu.L growing medium containing either vehicle (DMSO)
or a compound of the invention at 1, 3 or 10 .mu.M. After 72 hours
post-treatment, luminescent-based cell viability was determined
using Cell-Titer Glo (CTG) assay according to the manufacturer's
instructions (Cat.No.: G7573, Promega). Percent of cell viability
was calculated by normalizing luminescence signal to the average
value from vehicle-treated wells, assumed as the maximum of
viability (100%). In every experiment, all treatments were
performed in triplicate and reported as % inhibition of
viability.+-.standard deviation (SD). Plots shown in FIG. 2
represent the average of two independent experiments.
Example B16: Subcutaneous Xenograft Growth and Efficacy Studies in
Multiple Myeloma Models
[0950] For tumor growth studies, MM cell lines (including
RPMI-8226, H929, KMS-11, U-266, OPM-2, and JJN-3) are injected
subcutaneously in the right flank of male NOD SCID mice. Tumors are
monitored until they reached a mean tumor volume of approximately
.about.100 to 150 mm.sup.3 and then randomized in one of the
following groups: (i) Control group dosed with vehicle, (ii)
Exemplary compound of the invention dosed orally, (iii) bortezomib
(0.75 mg/kg, 100 .mu.L total, intravenously, twice per week) or
lenalidomide (50 mg/kg, 100 .mu.L total, intraperitoneally, once
daily for 5 consecutive days); and (iv) exemplary compound in
combination with bortezomib or lenalidomide. Tumor size and body
weight are measured twice per week. Subcutaneous tumor volumes are
measured manually in two dimensions (length and width) using a
digital caliper and analyzed using Excel, version 11.2 (Microsoft),
or Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, Inc.). The tumor volume was
calculated with the following formula:
Tumor size (mm.sup.3)=(Longer measurement.times.Shorter
measurement.sup.2).times.0.5
[0951] Animal body weights are measured also using a scale. Percent
weight change is calculated using the following formula:
Group percent weight change=[(New weight-Initial weight)/Initial
weight].times.100
[0952] For the orthometastatic xenograft model, MM cell lines
(including RPMI-8226, H929, KMS-11, U-266, OPM-2, and JJN-3) are
injected intravenously via the tail vein of non-irradiated 8-week
old NOD/SCID/IL2r.gamma.-/- mice. The animals are imaged weekly
under isoflurane anesthesia 5 min after intraperitoneal luciferin
injection with 200 .mu.l of 25 mg ml-1 D-luciferin (Invitrogen),
and imaged on a Photon Imager (BioSpace Laboratory). During image
acquisition, animals continued to receive anesthesia from a
nosecone delivery system, while their body temperatures were
maintained on a thermostatically controlled platform. Photon counts
per min per cm.sup.2 of observational area were calculated and
compared using M3 Vision software (BioSpace Laboratory). After 6
weeks mice were grouped out into the following treatment groups:
(i) Control group dosed with vehicle, (ii) Exemplary compound of
the invention dosed orally, (iii) bortezomib (0.75 mg/kg, 100 .mu.L
total, intravenously, twice per week) or lenalidomide (50 mg/kg,
100 .mu.L total, intraperitoneally, once daily for 5 consecutive
days). After 14 days, mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation
and bones harvested for fluorescence imaging using a Kodak In-Vivo
FX system (Carestream Health Molecular Imaging, New Haven, Conn.)
and Carestream Molecular Imaging (MI) Software. Excitation and
emission wavelengths were fixed at 550 nm and 600 nm, respectively.
Fluorescence images were co-registered with X-ray images using the
opensource software Image J (http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/).
