Definitions
- Steroid biosynthesis begins in cells of the adrenal gland where the initial product in sterol biosynthesis, cholesterol, is converted into the adrenal steroid hormones aldosterone, hydrocortisone, and corticosterone by a series of P 450 -mediated hydroxylation steps.
- the cholesterol side-chain cleavage activity that represents the first step in steroid hormone biosynthesis is a P 450 -mediated oxidation and cleavage of a pair of adjacent methylene groups to two carbonyl fragments, pregnenolone and isocaprylaldehyde (see Walsh, Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms, W.H. Freeman and Company: pp. 474-77, 1979).
- CYP 17, P 450 17 Another critical set of enzymatic conversions in steroid metabolism is facilitated by 17 ⁇ - hydroxylase- 17,20-lyase (CYP 17, P 450 17).
- CYP 17 is a bifiinctional enzyme which possesses both a CI 7,20-lyase activity and a C17-hydroxylase activity.
- these two alternative enzymatic activities of CYP 17 result in the formation of critically different intermediates in steroid biosynthesis and each activity appear to be differentially and developmentally regulated (see e.g. l'AUemand et al. Eur. J. Clin. Invest. 2000, 30, 28-33).
- DHEA dehydroepiandrosterone
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- Estradiol and estrone are key intermediates in the synthesis of not only the androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but also the estrogens 17 ⁇ -estradiol and estrone.
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- adrenal and ovarian estrogens are the main sources of estrogens in postmenopausal women (see e.g. Harris et al. Br. J.
- the C17-hydroxylase activity of CYP 17 catalyzes the conversion of the common intermediate progesterone to 17- hydroxyprogesterone, a precursor of cortisol. Therefore the first activity of CYP 17, the C17-hydroxylase activity, promotes the formation of glucocorticoids while the second activity of CYP 17, the CI 7,20-lyase activity, promotes the formation of sex hormones - particularly androgens including testosterone as well as estrogens.
- Prostate cancer is currently one of the most frequently diagnosed forms of cancer in men in the U.S. and Europe. Prostate cancer is typically androgen-dependent and, accordingly, the reduction in androgen production via surgical or pharmacological castration remains the major treatment option for this indication. However, complete rather than partial withdrawal of androgens may be more effective in treating prostate cancer (Labrie, F. et al, Prostate 1983, 4, 579 and Crawford, E.D. et al, N. Engl J. Med. 1989, 321, 419). Pharmacological inhibition of CYP 17 may be a promising alternative treatment to antiandrogens and LHRH agonists in that testicular, adrenal, and peripheral androgen biosynthesis would be reduced rather than only testicular androgen production (Njar, V.
- CYP17 inhibitor the fungicide ketoconazole
- This drug is a relatively non- selective inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, has weak CYP 17 activity, and has a number of notable side effects associated with it including liver damage (De Coster, R. et al, J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol 1996, 56, 133 and Lake-Bakaar, G. et al, Br. J. Med. 1987, 294, 419).
- CYP 17 inhibitors In addition to the use of CYP 17 inhibitors in the treatment of prostate cancer, a second potential indication would be for estrogen-dependent breast cancer. In postmenopausal patients with advanced breast cancer, treatment with high doses of ketoconazole resulted in suppression of both testosterone and estradiol levels, implicating CYP 17 as a potential target for hormone therapy (Harris, A. L. et al, Br. J. Cancer 1988, 58, 493).
- Chemotherapy is usually not highly effective, and is not a practical option for most patients with prostate cancer because of the adverse side effects which are particularly detrimental in older patients. However, the majority of patients initially respond to hormone ablative therapy although they eventually relapse, as is typical with all cancer treatments

- the subject can be one having a disease associated with a lyase, e.g., cancer.
- a disease associated with a lyase e.g., cancer.
- Preferred types of cancer that can be treated according to the invention include prostate cancer and breast cancer.
- Other diseases that can be treated include diseases in which it is desired to prevent or inhibit the formation of a hormone selected from the group consisting of the androgens testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the estrogens 17 ⁇ -estradiol and estrone.
- DHT dihydrotestosterone
- any disease that can be treated by inhibiting the activity of a lyase e.g., 17 ⁇ -hydroxylase- C 17,20-lyase, can be treated with the compounds of the invention.
- the invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment of CYP 17 metabolite-associated diseases and disorders.
- CYP 17 metabolite-associated diseases and disorders include particularly sex steroid hormone dependent cancers, such as androgen-dependent prostate cancer, which may be treated by inhibiting CYP 17-mediated androgen synthesis, and estrogen-dependent breast cancer or ovarian cancer, which may be treated by inhibiting CYP 17-mediated estrogen synthesis.
- adeno carcinoma of the prostate is a common disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in the adult male population (see Han and Nelson, Expert Opin. Pharmacother. 2000, 1, 443-9).
- Hormonal therapy for prostate cancer is considered when a patient fails with initial curative therapy, such as radical prostatectomy or definitive radiation therapy, or if he is found with an advanced disease.
- Hormonal agents have been developed to exploit the fact that prostate cancer growth is dependent on androgen.
- Non- steroidal anti-androgens (NSAAs) block androgen at the cellular level. Castration is another, albeit drastic means of decreasing androgens levels in order to treat or prevent prostate cancer.
- the methods and compositions of the invention are useful in inhibiting the CI 7,20- lyase activity of CYP 17 and thereby decreasing levels of androgen production and the associated growth of androgen-dependent cancers such as prostate cancer.
- breast cancer in postmenopausal women, can be treated by administration of a CI 7,20-lyase inhibitor of the invention because adrenal and ovarian androgens are the main precursors of the estrogens which stimulate the growth of hormone dependent breast cancer.
- breast cancer can be treated with inhibitors of aromatase that prevent interconversion of estrogens and adrenal and ovarian androgens (see Harris et al., Eur. J. Cancer Clin. Oncol. 1983, 19, 11). Patients failing to respond to aromatase inhibitors show elevated levels of androgens in response to aromatase inhibitor treatment (see Harris et al, Br. J. Cancer 1988, 55, 493-6).
- inhibitors of the invention may be used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat or prevent hormone-dependent cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.
- compositions of the invention are particularly suited to treating or preventing hormone-dependent cancers in individuals genetically predisposed to such cancers, particularly those predisposed due to an alteration in the CYP 17 gene.
- Another group of CYP 17 metabolite-associated diseases or disorders amenable to treatment with the compositions and methods of the invention include those associated with mineralocorticoid excess such as hypertension caused by sodium retention at renal tubules. Such a mechanism operates in hypertension such as primary hyperaldosteronism and some fonns of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Recently, deficient cortisol metabolism in the aldosterone target organ has been recognized as a novel form of hypertension known as apparent mineralocorticoid excess.
- Disorders associated with mineralocorticoid synthesis include abnormalities of mineralocorticoid synthesis and/or metabolism which profoundly affect the regulation of electrolyte and water balance and of blood pressure (see e.g.
- Mineralocorticoid excess may be caused by aldosterone or 11-deoxycorticosterone by inadequate conversion of cortisol to cortisone by l l ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 in target tissues, by glucocorticoid receptor deficiency or by constitutive activation of renal sodium channels.
- Changes in electrolyte balance and renin as well as the abnormal pattern of corticosteroid metabolism are usually diagnostic. Where these abnormalities are inherited (e.g.
- glucocorticoid remediable hyperaldosteronism GAA
- receptor defects LSA
- Liddle's syndrome the molecular basis is again usually known and, in some cases, may provide the simplest diagnostic tests.
- Primary aldosteronism although readily identifiable, presents problems of differential diagnosis, important because optimal treatment is different for each variant.
- a significant proportion of patients with essential hypertension show characteristics of mild mineralocorticoid excess, for example low renin levels.
- a decrease in CYP 17 activity can result in an alteration in mineralorticoid (e.g. aldosterone) biosynthesis.
- the "CYP 17 metabolite- associated diseases or disorders" of the invention would include those associated with altered levels of aldosterone production (e.g. hypertension, primary adrenal hyperplasia).
- CYP 17 metabolite-associated diseases or disorders are Cushing's disease, prostatic hyperplasia, glucocorticoid deficiency, and endometrial cancer.

- the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio LD5 0 /ED50.
- Compounds which exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. While compounds that exhibit toxic side effects may be used, care should be taken to design a delivery system that targets such reagents to the site of affected tissue in order to minimize potential damage to normal cells and, thereby, reduce side effects.

- a dose may be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC 50 (i.e., the concentration of the test compound which achieves a half- maximal inhibition of activity) as determined in cell culture. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.
- the compounds of the invention have an IC 50 less than 10 ⁇ M as determined by the biochemical or cellular assay described herein. Some compounds of the invention are effective at concentrations of 10 nM, 100 nM, or 1 ⁇ M. Based on these numbers, it is possible to derive an appropriate dosage for administration to subjects.

- the structures for the compounds of the invention, and data characterizing them, are shown in Tables 1-8 below.
- C17,20-Lyase inhibitory activity of compounds can be determined using, e.g., the biochemical or the cellular assays set forth below. A person of skill in the art will recognize that variants of these assays can also be used.
- the compounds of the invention can also be tested in animal models, e.g., animal models of prostate or breast cancer. Each of the compounds of the invention was subjected to a biochemical assay and a cellular assay for determining its C 17,20 lyase inhibitory activity.
- Recombinant human CI 7,20-lyase (hLyase) was expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells and hLyase enriched microsomes were prepared from cultures as described (Barnes H. J.; Jenkins, C. M.; Waterman, M. R. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 1994, 315(2), 489-494).
- Recombinant murine CI 7,20-lyase (mLyase) was prepared in a similar manner. hLyase and mLyase preparations were titrated using assay conditions to determine protein concentrations to be used for assays.
- Test compound solutions (20 mM in DMSO) were diluted 1 :4 with DMSO and put into the top well of a 96-well mother plate. These solutions were then diluted serially in six steps (1:4 each step) with DMSO to obtain 800 ⁇ M to 51.2 nM concentrations on a mother plate (columns 3-12) for subsequent use in the assay. These compound solutions were further diluted twenty- fold in water to obtain a daughter plate containing compound concentrations ranging from 40 ⁇ M to 2.56 nM in 5% DMSO.
- the first 2 columns (of wells) on each 96-well mother plate were used for the DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) standard curve.
- DHEA standards were serially diluted (in half-logs) in DMSO to obtain 400 ⁇ M to 120 nM standards, then diluted (1:19) in water to obtain 20 ⁇ M to 6 nM solutions in 5% DMSO on the daughter plate. These 5% DMSO solutions (5 ⁇ L each) from the daughter plate were transferred to the SPA assay plate prior to adding the reaction mixture.
- reaction mixture clear-bottomed opaque 96-well assay plates were loaded with 50 ⁇ L of assay buffer (50 mM Na 3 PO 4 , pH 7.5), 5 ⁇ L of the diluted compounds (or standards), and 30 ⁇ L of substrate solutions (7 mM NADPH, 3.35 ⁇ M 17-OH- pregnenolone, 3.35 ⁇ g/mL human cytochrome b 5 in 50 mM Na 3 PO 4 ).
- substrate solutions 7 mM NADPH, 3.35 ⁇ M 17-OH- pregnenolone, 3.35 ⁇ g/mL human cytochrome b 5 in 50 mM Na 3 PO 4 .
- Reactions were initiated with the addition of hLyase or mLyase in assay buffer (10 ⁇ L). Enzymatic reactions were incubated at room temperature for 2 hours with gentle agitation. Reactions were terminated with the addition of 5 ⁇ L of 1 mM (50 ⁇ M final concentration) YM116
- the concentration of DHEA generated by hLyase (or mLyase) was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA).
- RIA utilized a 3 H-DHEA (0.08 ⁇ Ci) tracer in 50 ⁇ L of scintillation proximity assay (SPA) buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 50 mM NaCl, 0.5%
- the concentration of DHEA generated was calculated from raw data (CPM) and the standard curve.
- the concentration of DHEA formed in the presence of test compounds was expressed as a percent inhibition compared to the DHEA concentration in the absence of test compounds: [1 - (nM DHEA formed in the presence of test compound/nM DHEA formed in the absence of test compounds)] x 100. Determination of
- Human HEK 293-lyase stable transfectant cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at 10,000 cells/well/ 100 ⁇ L in DMEM plus 10% FBS (supplemented with 1% glutamine, 0.8 mg/mL G418) and allowed to attach overnight. On the following day, the media was removed from the cell plate and replaced with 100 ⁇ L RPMI without phenol red. Test compounds (columns 3-12), DMSO vehicle (column 2), or DHEA standards (column 1) of 5 ⁇ L each were added to the cell plate and incubated for 10 min. at room temperature. The final concentrations of DHEA standards were 750, 250, 83.3, 27.7, 9.2, 3, 1, and 0.3 nM.
- the reaction was initiated with 10 ⁇ L of 5 ⁇ M 17-OH-pregnenolone being added to all the wells of the cell plate, then incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Following the incubation, 90 ⁇ L of media (containing DHEA product) was removed from the cell plate and transfened to the SPA assay plate. The subsequent SPA procedure for the detection of DHEA product was performed in the same manner as described for the enzyme assay (see above). The mother plate of test compounds was also prepared in the same manner as the enzyme assay. However, the highest concentration of compounds on the daughter plate was 200 ⁇ M rather than 40 ⁇ M, such that the highest dose of compound tested was 10 ⁇ M in final concentration (cellular assay) rather than 2 ⁇ M (biochemical assay).
- Reagents for the SPA assay were obtained from the following sources: 3 H-DHEA: NEN (NET814), Anti-DHEA: Endocrine Sciences (D7-421), Anti- Rabbit SPA Beads: Amersham (RPNQ 0016), 17-OH-pregnenolone: Steraloids (Q4710),
- NADPH Sigma (N1630)
- Cytochrome b5 Panvera (P2252)
- DHEA 500 ⁇ M stock in 100%
- test compound was considered to be active if the IC 50 in the human C 17,20 biochemical assay or the human C 17,20 cellular assay was less than 10 ⁇ M. All the compounds tested have IC 50 in the human C 17,20 biochemical assay or the human C 17,20 cellular assay of less than 10 ⁇ M.
