Definitions

  • Lung cancer has been the most common cancer in the world since 1985, with approximately 163,510 deaths expected to occur in 2005 in the United States. Even with current treatments involving surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, overall 5-year survival in the United States is still only approximately 15 percent; in developing countries, 5-year survival rates are about 9 percent (Parkin et al., CA Cancer J. Clin . (2005) 55:74-108).
  • the overwhelming majority of lung cancers in both sexes can be attributed to smoking. However, approximately 10% of lung cancers arise in individuals who smoked less than 100 cigarettes in a lifetime (“never smokers”).
  • gefitinib tyrosine kinase inhibitors
  • TARCEVATM OSI Pharmaceuticals, Genentech.
  • gefitinib and erlotinib are the only two targeted agents clinically available for treatment of human non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma).
  • Tumors arising from mutant EGFR require the continuous expression/activity of the oncogene for survival. This is based on the regression of mutant EGFR lung tumors that were treated with erlotinib and gefitinb, and has also been demonstrated for lung tumors arising in mice with controlled expression of oncogenic egfr (Politi et al., Genes Dev . (2006) 20:1496-1510) and kras (Fisher et al., Genes Dev . (2001) 15:3249-3262).
  • the mutant oncogene may alter a normal cell so that continued expression or function of the oncogene is required to prevent the cell from entering an apoptotic (or differentiation) pathway. Very likely, the protein encoded by the mutant oncogene activates multiple signaling pathways in such a way that sudden loss of a signal dependent on a mutant oncoprotein removes a block to other signals that direct apoptosis or differentiation.

  • All of the adenocarcinoma cell lines with EGFR mutations shown in Table 6 express wild type KRAS. Conversely, the lines with wild type EGFR in Table 6 carry a mutation in exon 2 of KRAS, resulting in a missense amino acid substitution in codons 12 or 13. In H358 and H2030, this exon 2 mutation results in a G12C amino acid change in KRAS. In H1734, there is a G13C substitution, in KRAS. Introduction of a G12C-KRAS allele-specific siRNA into the H2030 cell line results in growth arrest, suggesting that this cell line is dependent on expression of mutant KRAS for growth. All adenocarcinoma cell lines with mutant KRAS in Table 6 are resistant to erlotinib and express wild type EGFR.

Description

    CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
  • This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. provisional application, U.S. Ser. No. 60/871,181, filed Dec. 21, 2006, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Lung cancer has been the most common cancer in the world since 1985, with approximately 163,510 deaths expected to occur in 2005 in the United States. Even with current treatments involving surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy, overall 5-year survival in the United States is still only approximately 15 percent; in developing countries, 5-year survival rates are about 9 percent (Parkin et al., CA Cancer J. Clin. (2005) 55:74-108). The overwhelming majority of lung cancers in both sexes can be attributed to smoking. However, approximately 10% of lung cancers arise in individuals who smoked less than 100 cigarettes in a lifetime (“never smokers”).
  • Several proto-oncogenes encoding components of the ERBB/HER signaling pathway are known to be mutated in lung cancers, almost exclusively in adenocarcinomas. The most common mutations affect the KRAS and EGFR genes. Approximately 15 to 30% of adenocarcinomas have KRAS mutations (Rodenhuis and Slebos, Am. Rev. Respir. Dis. (1990) 142:S27-30; Suzuki et al., Oncogene (1990) 5:1037-1043), while EGFR mutations are found in about 10% of adenocarcinomas in the United States and in much higher percentages of patients in East Asia (Pao et al., PLoS Med (2005) 2:e17). EGFR and KRAS mutations are mutually exclusive, suggesting that they have functionally equivalent or overlapping roles in lung tumorigenesis.
  • The majority of mutations in KRAS in human lung adenocarcinomas are found in exon 2, leading to missense amino acid substitutions in codons 12 or 13 (Rodenhuis et al., Cancer Res. (1988) 48:5738-5741). Nearly 90% of EGFR mutations identified in human lung cancer occur in two “hotspots”. Half of these mutations are various multi-nucleotide in-frame deletions that eliminate a highly conserved four amino acid sequence (LREA) encoded in exon 19. The other “hotspot” mutations are point mutations in exon 21 that result in a specific amino acid substitution (i.e., lysine to arginine) at position 858 (L858R). The remaining 10-15% are nucleotide substitutions, deletions, or insertions/duplications found in exons 18-21, outside of the common sites of mutation (Lynch et al., N Engl. J. Med. (2004) 350:2129-2139; Paez et al., Science (2004) 304:1497-1500; Pao et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (2004) 101:13306-13311).
  • Most of the somatic mutations in the EGFR described above are associated with sensitivity of human lung tumors to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib (IRESSA™, Astra-Zeneca) and erlotinib (TARCEVA™, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Genentech). Although these two small molecules were developed as inhibitors of the wild type EGFR tyrosine kinase, EGFR with the common mutations in the kinase domain confer an augmented sensitivity to these drugs. To date, gefitinib and erlotinib are the only two targeted agents clinically available for treatment of human non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma).
  • In most patients who initially respond to crlotinib and gefitinib, the cancer resumes detectable growth within 6 months to two years. This loss of sensitivity to gefitinib and erlotinib arises co-incidentally with a secondary mutation in exon 20 of the EGFR, which leads to substitution of methionine for threonine at position 790 (T790M) in the kinase domain, in addition to the primary drug-sensitive mutation. Activating EGFR mutations (eg. L858R) seem to occur preferentially in cis with the T790M mutation. This T790M mutation has also recently been identified in a family with a history of adenocarcinoma (Bell et al., Nat. Genet. (2005) 37:1315-1316). Biochemical analyses of transfected cells and growth inhibition studies with lung cancer cell lines demonstrated that the T790M mutation confers resistance to the EGFR mutants that were usually sensitive to either gefitinib or crlotinib (Kobayashi et al., N. Eng. J. Med. (2005) 352:786-792).
  • Tumors arising from mutant EGFR require the continuous expression/activity of the oncogene for survival. This is based on the regression of mutant EGFR lung tumors that were treated with erlotinib and gefitinb, and has also been demonstrated for lung tumors arising in mice with controlled expression of oncogenic egfr (Politi et al., Genes Dev. (2006) 20:1496-1510) and kras (Fisher et al., Genes Dev. (2001) 15:3249-3262). The mutant oncogene may alter a normal cell so that continued expression or function of the oncogene is required to prevent the cell from entering an apoptotic (or differentiation) pathway. Very likely, the protein encoded by the mutant oncogene activates multiple signaling pathways in such a way that sudden loss of a signal dependent on a mutant oncoprotein removes a block to other signals that direct apoptosis or differentiation.
  • There are currently no approved therapeutic drugs that are effective against lung tumors with the T790M-EGFR mutation. Moreover, there has been no success in developing agents that would target KRAS. Given the high prevalence of KRAS mutations in lung and other cancers, a drug that targets this type of cancer is urgently needed.

    • EXAMPLES Example 1 High Throughput Screening for Novel Agents that Block Proliferation of NSCLC Cell Lines
  • There are a variety of well-documented human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines that have been used in the cell-based screens. Characteristics of these cell lines are shown in Table 6. Some of these cell lines have gain of function mutations in either exon 2 of KRAS (H2030) or in exons 18-21 of the EGFR(H1650, H1975 and H3255). The cell lines H11-18 and H3255 express EGFR with an L858R mutation and growth of these cells is inhibited by erlotinib at much lower concentrations than is required to attenuate growth in cells with wild type EGFR (Table 6). In H1650 there is a deletion of four amino acids (E746-A750) in the EGFR. Growth of this cell line is less sensitive to erlotinib than H11-18 and H3255. This may be due to the presence of additional mutations in proteins function downstream of the EGFR. Only the L858R mutation is present in the H1975 cell line. However, we sequenced exons 18-24 of EGFR in 8 adenocarcinoma cell lines and identified a second point mutation in the kinase domain of the EGFR. This C to T change at position 2369 in exon 20 results in a T790M substitution in the receptor and is believed to confer resistance to the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors erlotinib and gefitinib. Indeed, growth of the H1975 cell line is more resistant to erlotinib than the cell lines carrying mutant KRAS such as H358 and H2030 (Table 6). Introduction of double stranded siRNA specific for the EGFR deletion mutant or the L858R mutant into H1650 or H1975 and H3255 induced apoptosis, suggesting that these lung adenocarcinoma cell lines require continuous expression of the EGFR oncogene for survival.
  • All of the adenocarcinoma cell lines with EGFR mutations shown in Table 6 express wild type KRAS. Conversely, the lines with wild type EGFR in Table 6 carry a mutation in exon 2 of KRAS, resulting in a missense amino acid substitution in codons 12 or 13. In H358 and H2030, this exon 2 mutation results in a G12C amino acid change in KRAS. In H1734, there is a G13C substitution, in KRAS. Introduction of a G12C-KRAS allele-specific siRNA into the H2030 cell line results in growth arrest, suggesting that this cell line is dependent on expression of mutant KRAS for growth. All adenocarcinoma cell lines with mutant KRAS in Table 6 are resistant to erlotinib and express wild type EGFR.

    • Methods
  • Cell cycle analysis. For cell cycle analysis, cells were plated at a density of 500,000 cells per well in 6-well plates. Attached cells were treated with drugs for 24 h. Cells were then collected, washed with PBS and fixed in 70% ethanol for 1 h. For FACS analysis, fixed cells were washed with cold PBS resuspended in PBS containing 200 μg/mL propidium iodide and 0.1% sodium citrate. Flow cytometry was performed on a Becton-Dickinson FACSCalibur flow cytometer and data the processed using FlowJo software.
  • Caspase 3/7 enzyme activity assay. Apoptosis was determined by measuring the enzymatic activity of caspase 3/7 in cell homogenates. Cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells per well in 96-well plates and treated immediately with drugs for 24-72 h. Caspase 3/7 activity will be determined in cell extracts using Z-DEVD-R110 (rhodamine 110 conjugated to the caspase substrate Z-DEVD) as substrate (Promega). The fluorescence of the cleaved substrate was measured using a micro-titer fluorescence plate reader (Ex: 499 nm, Em: 521 nm).
  • [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay. Cells were seeded in 12-well plates at a density of 100 000 cells/well and treated with inhibitors for 24 hours. H3-thymidine (3 μCi/mL) was then added for 3 hours. Cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed with cold 10% TCA (in PBS) for 30 min then lysed with 0.5% NaOH/0.5% SDS. DNA was scraped from the wells and the amount of H3-thymidine incorporated determined by liquid scintillation counting.

    • Protocols
  • Growing & Maintaining Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Line. Non
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer cell lines are grown and maintained in Corning 175 cm2 flasks in RPMI 1640 media supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% antibiotic solution, 1% additional glutamine and pyruvate. These cells have a doubling time of 1-2 days. All cell types are adherent and grow in colonies. The cells should be kept at a density between 50,000 cells/mL -500,000 cells/mL to provide for optimum growth and adequate nutrition. The cell line should be maintained at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 in a sterile cell culture incubator.
  • Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Proliferation Assay. To perform the assay, the Non Small Cell Lung Cancer lines are diluted in media and plated into 384 well microplates at a final density of 250 cells in 45 L. To ensure consistency and minimal pipetting error, the cells are plated using the Multidrop 384 with the following settings: Rocker Switch set at 384, Volume 45 and Column 24.
  • Low Controls for this assay are made by treating Non Small Cell Lung Cancer cells with 5 ul of staurosporine at 250 uM in 10% DMSO and 1% SDS. [Final concentration in this assay is 25 uM staurosporine in 1% DMSO and 0.1% SDS.]
  • High Controls for this assay are made by treating Non Small Cell Lung Cancer cells with 5 ul of 10% DMSO. [Final concentration in this assay is 1% DMSO].
  • The remaining wells of the 384 microplate may be treated with different compounds depending on the study. Important Note: All compounds for testing in this assay should be done at the final concentration of 1% DMSO.
  • After addition, the cells are placed in cell culture incubator at 37° C. for 48 hours for complete treatment.
  • After drug treatment, cytotoxicity is measured by Alamar Blue reduction. 5 μL of Alamar Blue is added to the 384 microplates using the Flexdrop.
  • The cells are incubated for 48 hours at 37° C. to complete the Alamar Blue reduction.
  • The final step in the assay is to measure the amount of Alamar Blue reduction. The cells are placed in the Wallac 1420 Victor V Plate Reader I and with the following program, DS Alamar Blue Prompt Fluo (#8). The Alamar Blue fluorescence is measured at an excitation of 530 nm and emission of 590 nm.
  • For the NSCLC project, the cell based assay was screened against a small molecule library of approximately 200,000 compounds. The compound library is stored in our automated robotic freezer (Biophile) at −20° C. in 100% DMSO. Compound freeze and thaw cycles are kept to a minimum. Compounds for use are diluted into the appropriate concentration and plated into 384 well microplates using our custom built low volume 384-well head tool (TPS 384, Apricot Designs Inc., CA, USA). This assay was performed on a fully automated linear track robotic platform (CRS F3 Robot System, Thermo Electron Corp., Ontario, Canada) utilizing several integrated peripherals for plate handling, liquid dispensing, and readout detection. First, non-small cell lung cancer cell lines are dispensed into 384 well microplates (Corning #3712 Tissue Culture Treated Plate, Corning, N.Y., USA) with 5 μL of test compounds at 100 uM in 10% DMSO for screening studies or 1 mM in 10% DMSO to 50 nM in 10% DMSO for dose response studies. The microplates are then placed at 37° C. for 48 hours to complete treatment of cells with compounds. Next, 5 ul of alamar blue was added using a liquid dispenser (Flexprop Precision Dispenser, Perkin Elmer, Mass., USA) and incubated for 48 hours at 37° C. The alamar blue prompt fluorescence was measured on Victor V (Victor3 V, Perkin Elmer, Mass., USA) and output data files were loaded into ORIS (Oncology Research Informatics System, MSKCC, NY, USA), a screening data acquisition and analysis platform.
  • A high throughput screening was performed using four established non small cell lung cancer cell lines (H1650, H1975, H2030, H3255) against a chemical library of 200,000 small molecules. Description of the assays is described herein. Several hits were identified inhibiting one or more cell line with the most potent one being 4,5-dichloro-2-m-tolyl-2H-pyridazin-3-one (SKI-104122).

    • 4,5-dichloro-2-m-tolyl-2H-pyridazin-3-one (SKI-104122)
  • A substructure search was then performed against the SKI library and identified 115 derivatives of SKI-104122. Further analysis of the biological data for these derivatives reveals a coherent structure activity relationship for both active and inactive compounds with only 22 compounds identified as active during primary screening. Summary of the data is shown in Table 9. Data is expressed as percentage inhibition in the cell based assay; screening concentration of 10 μM compound in 1% DMSO (v/v).

    • Example 2 SAR of Compound SKI-104122
  • Synthesis of pyridazin-3(2H)-ones
  • Based on the obtained SAR results from primary screening and the observed affinities (see Example 1), the feasibility of identifying the molecular target for SKI-104122 was investigated. To achieve this, an SAR study was undertaken to identify potential sites on the molecule for linker addition without compromising biological activity. The linker will then be attached to sepharose beads generating an affinity chromatography column to be used for identifying molecular target.
  • The preparation of compounds screened is exemplified below.

    • Example 4 High Throughput Screening for Novel Agents that Block Proliferation of NSCLC cell lines
  • We have performed high throughput screening campaigns using four established non small cell lung cancer cell lines (H1650, H1975, H2030, H3255) against a chemical library of 200,000 small molecules. Description of the assays is described herein. We have identified several hits inhibiting one or more cell line with the most potent one being 5-nitro-furan-2-carboxylic acid (4-chloro-phenyl)-amide (SKI-98698). We then performed a substructure search against the library and identified 51 close derivatives of SKI-98698 (Table 15). Further analysis of the biological data for these derivatives reveals a coherent structure activity relationship for both active and inactive compounds with only 8 compounds identified as active during primary screening (Table 16). Data is expressed as percentage inhibition in the cell based assay; screening concentration of 10 μM compound in 1% DMSO (v/v).

  • SKI-267077 inhibits DNA synthesis. We used SKI-267077, a derivative of SKI-104122 to elucidate the mechanism by which this family of compounds caused growth arrest of human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines. H2030 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of SKI-267077 for 24 hours and then incorporation of 3H-thymide into DNA determined (FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 1, SKI-267077 caused a dose-dependent decrease in DNA synthesis.
  • SKI-267077 induces cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Cell cycle progression in the presence of SKI-267077 was determined by FACS analysis of H2030 cells that were treated for 24 hours. SKI-267077 treatment resulted in a reduction of the percent of cells in the S phase (FIG. 2A) of the cell cycle and a concomitant increase in the percent of cells in the induce G1 phase (FIG. 2B).
  • SKI-267077 stimulates the enzymatic activity of caspase 3/7. Treatment of H2030 with SKI-267077 for 48 hours lead to an increase in the activity of caspase 3/7 (FIG. 3).
    • Example 5 Dose Response Studies
  • Dose response studies against 34 compounds from the pyridazinone and phenylfuran-carboxamide class were conducted. The 34 compounds were run in a 12 point doubling dilution from 10 uM to 5 nM for IC50 determination against 15 non small cell lung cancer lines representing various EGFR and KRAS mutations (see Table 17). In addition, Tarceva was included in these dose response studies.

  • The dose response studies were done with the following standard procedure. First, the cells were counted and dispensed at 250 cells/well into 384-well microplates with compound. The cells were incubated for 48 hours at 37 C to complete treatment, and then alamar blue was added for an additional 48 hours. Finally, alamar blue reduction was measured and the data was loaded into ORIS, our data screening acquisition platform. Table 18 provides a summary of these experiments.
