Definitions
- STAT3 transcription factor which is persistently activated in cancer cells and in diverse tumor-associated immune cells, is a critical mediator of tumorigenesis and immune evasion.
- pharmacological inhibition of proteins lacking enzymatic activity, such as STAT3 is challenging and requires alternative strategies.
- One of them is to block STAT3 DNA binding and transcriptional activation using competitive inhibitors, such as decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (dODN). Decoy ODNs comprise the specific, consensus sequence of the transcription factor binding site.
- dODN decoy oligodeoxynucleotides
- dODNs The limiting factor in the clinical application of dODNs is difficulty in their targeted delivery, additionally complicated by the inherent sensitivity of the immune system to nucleic acids.
- immune cells may themselves be essential therapeutic targets in cancer therapy.
- ligand for the intracellular receptor TLR9 CpG ODN
- oligonucleotides such as siRNA
- a compound including a TLR-binding nucleic acid substituent conjugated to a STAT-binding nucleic acid substituent.

- “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are near each other, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice.
- an amino acid residue in a protein “corresponds” to a given residue when it occupies the same essential structural position within the protein as the given residue.

- the position in the aligned selected protein aligning with STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 is said to correspond to STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 respectively.
- a three dimensional structural alignment can also be used, e.g., where the structure of the selected protein is aligned for maximum correspondence with the a human STAT protein and the overall structures compared.
- an amino acid that occupies the same essential position as STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 in the structural model is said to correspond to STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641.
- nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (i.e., about 60% identity, preferably 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identity over a specified region when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window or designated region) as measured using a BLAST or BLAST 2.0 sequence comparison algorithms with default parameters described below, or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see,
- sequences are then said to be “substantially identical.”
- This definition also refers to, or may be applied to, the compliment of a test sequence.
- the definition also includes sequences that have deletions and/or additions, as well as those that have substitutions.
- the preferred algorithms can account for gaps and the like.
- identity exists over a region that is at least about 10 amino acids or 20 nucleotides in length, or more preferably over a region that is 10-50 amino acids or 20-50 nucleotides in length.
- percent (%) amino acid sequence identity is defined as the percentage of amino acids in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acids in a reference sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity.
- Alignment for purposes of determining percent sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared can be determined by known methods.
- sequence comparisons typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared.
- test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated.
- sequence algorithm program parameters Preferably, default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated.
- sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.
- a “comparison window”, as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 10 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned.
- Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol.
- the phrase “selectively (or specifically) hybridizes to” refers to the binding, duplexing, or hybridizing of a molecule only to a particular nucleotide sequence with a higher affinity, e.g., under more stringent conditions, than to other nucleotide sequences (e.g., total cellular or library DNA or RNA).
- stringent hybridization conditions refers to conditions under which a probe will hybridize to its target subsequence, typically in a complex mixture of nucleic acids, but to no other sequences. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances. Longer sequences hybridize specifically at higher temperatures. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen, Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology—Hybridization with Nucleic Probes , “Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid assays” (1993). Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5-10° C. lower than the thermal melting point (T m ) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength pH.
- T m thermal melting point
- the T m is the temperature (under defined ionic strength, pH, and nucleic concentration) at which 50% of the probes complementary to the target hybridize to the target sequence at equilibrium (as the target sequences are present in excess, at T m , 50% of the probes are occupied at equilibrium).
- Stringent conditions may also be achieved with the addition of destabilizing agents such as formamide.
- a positive signal is at least two times background, preferably 10 times background hybridization.
- Exemplary stringent hybridization conditions can be as following: 50% formamide, 5 ⁇ SSC, and 1% SDS, incubating at 42° C., or, 5 ⁇ SSC, 1% SDS, incubating at 65° C., with wash in 0.2 ⁇ SSC, and 0.1% SDS at 65° C.
- Nucleic acids that do not hybridize to each other under stringent conditions are still substantially identical if the polypeptides which they encode are substantially identical. This occurs, for example, when a copy of a nucleic acid is created using the maximum codon degeneracy permitted by the genetic code. In such cases, the nucleic acids typically hybridize under moderately stringent hybridization conditions.
- Exemplary “moderately stringent hybridization conditions” include a hybridization in a buffer of 40% formamide, 1 M NaCl, 1% SDS at 37° C., and a wash in 1 ⁇ SSC at 45° C. A positive hybridization is at least twice background.
- Those of ordinary skill will readily recognize that alternative hybridization and wash conditions can be utilized to provide conditions of similar stringency. Additional guidelines for determining hybridization parameters are provided in numerous reference, e.g., and Current Protocols in Molecular Biology , ed. Ausubel, et al.

- Detectable moieties also include any of the above compositions encapsulated in nanoparticles, particles, aggregates, coated with additional compositions, derivatized for binding to a targeting agent (e.g. compound described herein). Any method known in the art for conjugating an oligonucleotide or protein to the label may be employed, e.g., using methods described in Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques 1996, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego.

- the term “ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle” or “USPIO nanoparticle” refers to superparamagnetic iron oxide particles ranging from 1 to 50 nm in diameter, more typically between 5 and 40 nm in diameter (excluding any coating applied after synthesis). USPIO nanoparticles are commonly made of maghemite (Fe 2 O 3 ) or magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) having crystal-containing regions of unpaired spins. Those magnetic domains are disordered in the absence of a magnetic field, but when a field is applied (i.e., while taking an MRI), the magnetic domains align to create a magnetic moment much greater than the sum of the individual unpaired electrons without resulting in residual magnetization of the particles.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/984,086 filed May 18, 2018, allowed, which is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/160,865 filed May 20, 2016, issued as U.S. Pat.

- STAT3 transcription factor, which is persistently activated in cancer cells and in diverse tumor-associated immune cells, is a critical mediator of tumorigenesis and immune evasion. As a convergence point for cytokine, growth factor and oncogenic kinase signaling, STAT3 is a highly desirable therapeutic target. However, pharmacological inhibition of proteins lacking enzymatic activity, such as STAT3, is challenging and requires alternative strategies. One of them is to block STAT3 DNA binding and transcriptional activation using competitive inhibitors, such as decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (dODN). Decoy ODNs comprise the specific, consensus sequence of the transcription factor binding site. The limiting factor in the clinical application of dODNs is difficulty in their targeted delivery, additionally complicated by the inherent sensitivity of the immune system to nucleic acids. However, immune cells may themselves be essential therapeutic targets in cancer therapy. We previously demonstrated that ligand for the intracellular receptor TLR9 (CpG ODN) allows for the delivery of oligonucleotides, such as siRNA, specifically to TLR9-positive target cells without any transfection or packaging reagents. Disclosed herein are solutions to these and other problems in the art.

FIG. 30 . “Push & Release” Strategy for leukemia immunotherapy. CpG-STAT3dODN induces immunogenic effects in normal and malignant myeloid cells as a result of coordinated immune stimulation through TLR9 triggering (“push” signal) and the elimination of negative regulation by STAT3 (“release” signal). - Disclosed herein are compositions including the ligand for the intracellular receptor TLR9 (CpG ODN) and method of using the same for the delivery of oligonucleotides, specifically to TLR9-positive target cells without any transfection or packaging reagents. Disclosed herein is use of this approach to deliver STAT3 decoy ODN into variety of human and mouse target cells both in vitro and in vivo. These include normal myeloid cells or B lymphocytes and malignant cells, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), B cell lymphoma and castration-resistant prostate cancer cells. Due to extensive chemical modification (phosphothioation) of the backbone, the CpG-STAT3 dODN are highly resistant to serum degradation with half-life exceeding 48 hrs. Thus, CpG-dODNs are suitable for systemic administration against metastatic cancers. As disclosed herein, using a disseminated model of human AML, repeated intravenous administration of CpG-STAT3 dODN results in eradication of MV4-11 leukemia within two weeks of treatment. The antitumor efficacy of this strategy seems to be further enhanced by immunostimulatory effect of combined TLR9-triggering and STAT3 blocking. In syngeneic mouse model of Cbfb/MYH11/Mp11 leukemia, i.v. injections of CpG-STAT3 dODN resulted in tumor regression from bone marrow, spleen and blood within 12 days of treatment. The antitumor effect was accompanied by immune cell activation and T cell infiltration into various organs. Thus, CpG-dODN strategy can overcome the limitations of small molecule drugs by expanding the list of therapeutic targets to crucial yet currently non-druggable molecules (e.g. transcription factors).
- The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts. The chemical structures and formulae set forth herein are constructed according to the standard rules of chemical valency known in the chemical arts.
- Where substituent groups are specified by their conventional chemical formulae, written from left to right, they equally encompass the chemically identical substituents that would result from writing the structure from right to left, e.g., —CH2O— is equivalent to —OCH2—.
- The term “alkyl,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a straight (i.e., unbranched) or branched non-cyclic carbon chain (or carbon), or combination thereof, which may be fully saturated, mono- or polyunsaturated and can include di- and multivalent radicals, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e., C1-C10 means one to ten carbons). Examples of saturated hydrocarbon radicals include, but are not limited to, groups such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, (cyclohexyl)methyl, homologs and isomers of, for example, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, and the like. An unsaturated alkyl group is one having one or more double bonds or triple bonds. Examples of unsaturated alkyl groups include, but are not limited to, vinyl, 2-propenyl, crotyl, 2-isopentenyl, 2-(butadienyl), 2,4-pentadienyl, 3-(1,4-pentadienyl), ethynyl, 1- and 3-propynyl, 3-butynyl, and the higher homologs and isomers. An alkoxy is an alkyl attached to the remainder of the molecule via an oxygen linker (—O—).
- The term “alkylene,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a divalent radical derived from an alkyl, as exemplified, but not limited by, —CH2CH2CH2CH2—. Typically, an alkyl (or alkylene) group will have from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, with those groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms being preferred in the present invention. A “lower alkyl” or “lower alkylene” is a shorter chain alkyl or alkylene group, generally having eight or fewer carbon atoms. The term “alkenylene,” by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a divalent radical derived from an alkene.
- The term “heteroalkyl,” by itself or in combination with another term, means, unless otherwise stated, a stable non-cyclic straight or branched chain, or combinations thereof, including at least one carbon atom and at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N, P, Si, and S, and wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms may optionally be oxidized, and the nitrogen heteroatom may optionally be quaternized. The heteroatom(s) O, N, P, S, and Si may be placed at any interior position of the heteroalkyl group or at the position at which the alkyl group is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples include, but are not limited to: —CH2—CH2—O—CH3, —CH2—CH2—NH—CH3, —CH2—CH2—N(CH3)—CH3, —CH2—S—CH2—CH3, —CH2—CH2, —S(O)—CH3, —CH2—CH2—S(O)2—CH3, —CH═CH—O—CH3, —Si(CH3)3, —CH2—CH═N—OCH3, —CH═CH—N(CH3)—CH3, —O—CH3, —O—CH2—CH3, and —CN.

For heteroalkylene groups, heteroatoms can also occupy either or both of the chain termini (e.g., alkyleneoxy, alkylenedioxy, alkyleneamino, alkylenediamino, and the like). Still further, for alkylene and heteroalkylene linking groups, no orientation of the linking group is implied by the direction in which the formula of the linking group is written. For example, the formula —C(O)2R′— represents both —C(O)2R′— and —R′C(O)2—. As described above, heteroalkyl groups, as used herein, include those groups that are attached to the remainder of the molecule through a heteroatom, such as —C(O)R′, —C(O)NR′, —NR′R″, —OR′, —SR′, and/or —SO2R′. Where “heteroalkyl” is recited, followed by recitations of specific heteroalkyl groups, such as —NR′R″ or the like, it will be understood that the terms heteroalkyl and —NR′R″ are not redundant or mutually exclusive. Rather, the specific heteroalkyl groups are recited to add clarity. Thus, the term “heteroalkyl” should not be interpreted herein as excluding specific heteroalkyl groups, such as —NR′R″ or the like.
- The terms “cycloalkyl” and “heterocycloalkyl,” by themselves or in combination with other terms, mean, unless otherwise stated, cyclic non-aromatic versions of “alkyl” and “heteroalkyl,” respectively, wherein the carbons making up the ring or rings do not necessarily need to be bonded to a hydrogen due to all carbon valencies participating in bonds with non-hydrogen atoms. Additionally, for heterocycloalkyl, a heteroatom can occupy the position at which the heterocycle is attached to the remainder of the molecule. Examples of cycloalkyl include, but are not limited to, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohexenyl, 3-cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, and the like.

A “cycloalkylene” and a “heterocycloalkylene,” alone or as part of another substituent, means a divalent radical derived from a cycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl, respectively.
- The terms “halo” or “halogen,” by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl” are meant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term “halo(C1-C4)alkyl” includes, but is not limited to, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, and the like.
- The term “acyl” means, unless otherwise stated, —C(O)R where R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.
- The term “aryl” means, unless otherwise stated, a polyunsaturated, aromatic, hydrocarbon substituent, which can be a single ring or multiple rings (preferably from 1 to 3 rings) that are fused together (i.e., a fused ring aryl) or linked covalently (e.g., biphenyl). A fused ring aryl refers to multiple rings fused together wherein at least one of the fused rings is an aryl ring. The term “heteroaryl” refers to aryl groups (or rings) that contain at least one heteroatom such as N, O, or S, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen atom(s) are optionally quaternized. Thus, the term “heteroaryl” includes fused ring heteroaryl groups (i.e., multiple rings fused together wherein at least one of the fused rings is a heteroaromatic ring). A 5,6-fused ring heteroarylene refers to two rings fused together, wherein one ring has 5 members and the other ring has 6 members, and wherein at least one ring is a heteroaryl ring. Likewise, a 6,6-fused ring heteroarylene refers to two rings fused together, wherein one ring has 6 members and the other ring has 6 members, and wherein at least one ring is a heteroaryl ring. And a 6,5-fused ring heteroarylene refers to two rings fused together, wherein one ring has 6 members and the other ring has 5 members, and wherein at least one ring is a heteroaryl ring. A heteroaryl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a carbon or heteroatom. Non-limiting examples of aryl and heteroaryl groups include phenyl, 1-naphthyl, 2-naphthyl, 4-biphenyl, 1-pyrrolyl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrrolyl, 3-pyrazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 2-phenyl-4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl, 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl, 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-pyrimidyl, 4-pyrimidyl, 5-benzothiazolyl, purinyl, 2-benzimidazolyl, 5-indolyl, 1-isoquinolyl, 5-isoquinolyl, 2-quinoxalinyl, 5-quinoxalinyl, 3-quinolyl, and 6-quinolyl. Substituents for each of the above noted aryl and heteroaryl ring systems are selected from the group of acceptable substituents described below. An “arylene” and a “heteroarylene,” alone or as part of another substituent, mean a divalent radical derived from an aryl and heteroaryl, respectively. Non-limiting examples of heteroaryl groups include pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, thiophenyl, thienyl, furanyl, indolyl, benzoxadiazolyl, benzodioxolyl, benzodioxanyl, thianaphthanyl, pyrrolopyridinyl, indazolyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, pyridopyrazinyl, quinazolinonyl, benzoisoxazolyl, imidazopyridinyl, benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, benzothiophenyl, phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl, pyrrolyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazinyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, furylthienyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, benzothiazolyl, purinyl, benzimidazolyl, isoquinolyl, thiadiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, pyrrolyl, diazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, benzothiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolopyrimidinyl, pyrrolopyrimidinyl, benzotriazolyl, benzoxazolyl, or quinolyl.

Fused ring heterocycloalkyl-aryl, fused ring heterocycloalkyl-heteroaryl, fused ring heterocycloalkyl-cycloalkyl, or fused ring heterocycloalkyl-heterocycloalkyl may each independently be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more of the substitutents described herein.
- The term “oxo,” as used herein, means an oxygen that is double bonded to a carbon atom.
- The term “alkylsulfonyl,” as used herein, means a moiety having the formula —S(O2)—R′, where R′ is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group as defined above. R′ may have a specified number of carbons (e.g., “C1-C4 alkylsulfonyl”).
- Each of the above terms (e.g., “alkyl,” “heteroalkyl,” “aryl,” and “heteroaryl”) includes both substituted and unsubstituted forms of the indicated radical. Preferred substituents for each type of radical are provided below.
- Substituents for the alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals (including those groups often referred to as alkylene, alkenyl, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, and heterocycloalkenyl) can be one or more of a variety of groups selected from, but not limited to, —OR′, ═O, ═NR′, ═N—OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)N R′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NR—C(NR′R″R′″)═NR″″, —NR—C(NR′R″)═NR′″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NRSO2R′, —NR′NR″R′″, —ONR′R″, —NR′C═(O)NR″NR′″R″′, —CN, —NO2, in a number ranging from zero to (2m′+1), where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in such radical. R, R′, R″, R′″, and R″″ each preferably independently refer to hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl (e.g., aryl substituted with 1-3 halogens), substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy, or thioalkoxy groups, or arylalkyl groups. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R″, R′″, and R″″ group when more than one of these groups is present. When R′ and R″ are attached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with the nitrogen atom to form a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring. For example, —NR′R″ includes, but is not limited to, 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl. From the above discussion of substituents, one of skill in the art will understand that the term “alkyl” is meant to include groups including carbon atoms bound to groups other than hydrogen groups, such as haloalkyl (e.g., —CF3 and —CH2CF3) and acyl (e.g., —C(O)CH3, —C(O)CF3, —C(O)CH2OCH3, and the like).
- Similar to the substituents described for the alkyl radical, substituents for the aryl and heteroaryl groups are varied and are selected from, for example: —OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC (O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NR—C(NR′R″R′″)═NR″″, —NR—C(NR′ R″)═NR′″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NRSO2R′, —NR′NR″R′″, —ONR′R″, —NR′C═(O)NR″NR′″R″″, —CN, —NO2, —R′, —N3, —CH(Ph)2, fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, and fluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on the aromatic ring system; and where R′, R″, R′″, and R″″ are preferably independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R″, R′″, and R″″ groups when more than one of these groups is present.
- Two or more substituents may optionally be joined to form aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocycloalkyl groups. Such so-called ring-forming substituents are typically, though not necessarily, found attached to a cyclic base structure. In one embodiment, the ring-forming substituents are attached to adjacent members of the base structure. For example, two ring-forming substituents attached to adjacent members of a cyclic base structure create a fused ring structure. In another embodiment, the ring-forming substituents are attached to a single member of the base structure. For example, two ring-forming substituents attached to a single member of a cyclic base structure create a spirocyclic structure. In yet another embodiment, the ring-forming substituents are attached to non-adjacent members of the base structure.
- Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally form a ring of the formula -T-C(O)—(CRR′)q—U—, wherein T and U are independently —NR—, —O—, —CRR′—, or a single bond, and q is an integer of from 0 to 3. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -A-(CH2)r—B—, wherein A and B are independently —CRR′—, —O—, —NR—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —S(O)2NR′—, or a single bond, and r is an integer of from 1 to 4. One of the single bonds of the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula —(CRR′)x—O—, (C″R″R″′)d—, where s and d are independently integers of from 0 to 3, and X′ is —O—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, or —S(O)2NR′—.

- The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of the active compounds that are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like (see, e.g., Berge et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 66:1-19 (1977)). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. Other pharmaceutically acceptable carriers known to those of skill in the art are suitable for the present invention. Salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous or other protonic solvents that are the corresponding free base forms. In other cases, the preparation may be a lyophilized powder in 1 mM-50 mM histidine, 0.1%-2% sucrose, 2%-7% mannitol at a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5, that is combined with buffer prior to use.
- Thus, the compounds of the present invention may exist as salts, such as with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The present invention includes such salts. Examples of such salts include hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, methanesulfonates, nitrates, maleates, acetates, citrates, fumarates, tartrates (e.g., (+)-tartrates, (−)-tartrates, or mixtures thereof including racemic mixtures), succinates, benzoates, and salts with amino acids such as glutamic acid. These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.
- The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents.
- In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds, which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.
- Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
- As used herein, the term “salt” refers to acid or base salts of the compounds used in the methods of the present invention. Illustrative examples of acceptable salts are mineral acid (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, and the like) salts, organic acid (acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid and the like) salts, quaternary ammonium (methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, and the like) salts.
- Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical or chiral centers) or double bonds; the enantiomers, racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, stereoisometric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids, and individual isomers are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention do not include those which are known in art to be too unstable to synthesize and/or isolate. The present invention is meant to include compounds in racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.
- As used herein, the term “isomers” refers to compounds having the same number and kind of atoms, and hence the same molecular weight, but differing in respect to the structural arrangement or configuration of the atoms.
- The term “tautomer,” as used herein, refers to one of two or more structural isomers which exist in equilibrium and which are readily converted from one isomeric form to another.
- It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that certain compounds of this invention may exist in tautomeric forms, all such tautomeric forms of the compounds being within the scope of the invention.
- Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all stereochemical forms of the structure; i.e., the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention.
- Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a hydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by 13C- or 14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention.
- The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I), or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
-
- The terms “a” or “an,” as used in herein means one or more. In addition, the phrase “substituted with a[n],” as used herein, means the specified group may be substituted with one or more of any or all of the named substituents. For example, where a group, such as an alkyl or heteroaryl group, is “substituted with an unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl, or unsubstituted 2 to 20 membered heteroalkyl,” the group may contain one or more unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyls, and/or one or more unsubstituted 2 to 20 membered heteroalkyls. Moreover, where a moiety is substituted with an R substituent, the group may be referred to as “R-substituted.” Where a moiety is R-substituted, the moiety is substituted with at least one R substituent and each R substituent is optionally different.
- Descriptions of compounds of the present invention are limited by principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, where a group may be substituted by one or more of a number of substituents, such substitutions are selected so as to comply with principles of chemical bonding and to give compounds which are not inherently unstable and/or would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art as likely to be unstable under ambient conditions, such as aqueous, neutral, and several known physiological conditions. For example, a heterocycloalkyl or heteroaryl is attached to the remainder of the molecule via a ring heteroatom in compliance with principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art thereby avoiding inherently unstable compounds.
- The terms “treating” or “treatment” refers to any indicia of success in the treatment or amelioration of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms or making the injury, pathology or condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in the rate of degeneration or decline; making the final point of degeneration less debilitating; improving a patient's physical or mental well-being. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters; including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric exams, and/or a psychiatric evaluation. For example, certain methods herein treat cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma). For example certain methods herein treat cancer by decreasing or reducing or preventing the occurrence, growth, metastasis, or progression of cancer; or treat cancer by decreasing a symptom of cancer. Symptoms of cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma) would be known or may be determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art. The term “treating” and conjugations thereof, include prevention of an injury, pathology, condition, or disease (e.g. preventing the development of one or more symptoms of cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma)). For example certain methods herein treat viral disease (e.g. herpesvirus infection associated disease or hepatitis virus infection associated disease or HIV infection associated disease) by decreasing or reducing or preventing the occurrence, growth, or progression of the virus infection or virus; or treat viral disease (e.g. herpesvirus infection associated disease or hepatitis virus infection associated disease or HIV infection associated disease) by decreasing a symptom of viral disease (e.g. herpesvirus infection associated disease or hepatitis virus infection associated disease or HIV infection associated disease).
- An “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to accomplish a stated purpose (e.g. achieve the effect for which it is administered, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, increase enzyme activity, reduce transcriptional activity, increase transcriptional activity, reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition). An example of an “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease, which could also be referred to as a “therapeutically effective amount.” A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A “prophylactically effective amount” of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or their symptoms. The full prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. An “activity decreasing amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of antagonist (inhibitor) required to decrease the activity of an enzyme or protein (e.g. transcription factor) relative to the absence of the antagonist. An “activity increasing amount,” as used herein, refers to an amount of agonist (activator) required to increase the activity of an enzyme or protein (e.g. transcription factor) relative to the absence of the agonist. A “function disrupting amount,” as used herein, refers to the amount of antagonist (inhibitor) required to disrupt the function of an enzyme or protein (e.g. transcription factor) relative to the absence of the antagonist. A “function increasing amount,” as used herein, refers to the amount of agonist (activator) required to increase the function of an enzyme or protein (e.g. transcription factor) relative to the absence of the agonist. The exact amounts will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).
- The term “associated” or “associated with” in the context of a substance or substance activity or function associated with a disease (e.g cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma)) means that the disease (e.g. cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma) or viral disease (e.g. herpesvirus infection associated disease or hepatitis virus infection associated disease or HIV infection associated disease)) is caused by (in whole or in part), or a symptom of the disease is caused by (in whole or in part) the substance or substance activity or function. For example, a symptom of a disease or condition associated with an increase in STAT3 activity may be a symptom that results (entirely or partially) from an increase in STAT3 activity (e.g increase in STAT3 transcriptional activation, increase in STAT3 activation of a signal transduction or signalling pathway). As used herein, what is described as being associated with a disease, if a causative agent, could be a target for treatment of the disease. For example, a disease associated with increased STAT3 activity (e.g increase in STAT3 transcriptional activation, increase in STAT3 activation of a signal transduction or signalling pathway), may be treated with an agent (e.g. compound as described herein) effective for decreasing the level of activity of STAT3 or STAT3 pathway. For example, a disease associated with STAT3, may be treated with an agent (e.g. compound as described herein) effective for decreasing the level of activity of STAT3 or a downstream component or effector of STAT3. For example, a symptom of a disease or condition associated with an increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activity may be a symptom that results (entirely or partially) from an increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activity (e.g increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) transcriptional activation, increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activation of a signal transduction or signalling pathway). As used herein, what is described as being associated with a disease, if a causative agent, could be a target for treatment of the disease. For example, a disease associated with increased STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activity (e.g increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) transcriptional activation, increase in STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activation of a signal transduction or signalling pathway), may be treated with an agent (e.g. compound as described herein) effective for decreasing the level of activity of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) or a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway. For example, a disease associated with a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) may be treated with an agent (e.g. compound as described herein) effective for decreasing the level of activity of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) or a downstream component or effector of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6).
- “Control” or “control experiment” is used in accordance with its plain ordinary meaning and refers to an experiment in which the subjects or reagents of the experiment are treated as in a parallel experiment except for omission of a procedure, reagent, or variable of the experiment. In some instances, the control is used as a standard of comparison in evaluating experimental effects.
- “Contacting” is used in accordance with its plain ordinary meaning and refers to the process of allowing at least two distinct species (e.g. chemical compounds including biomolecules, or cells) to become sufficiently proximal to react, interact or physically touch. It should be appreciated, however, that the resulting reaction product can be produced directly from a reaction between the added reagents or from an intermediate from one or more of the added reagents which can be produced in the reaction mixture. The term “contacting” may include allowing two species to react, interact, or physically touch, wherein the two species may be a compound as described herein and a protein or enzyme (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6)). In some embodiments contacting includes allowing a compound described herein to interact with a protein or enzyme that is involved in a signaling pathway (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway).
- As defined herein, the term “inhibition”, “inhibit”, “inhibiting” and the like in reference to a protein-inhibitor (e.g. antagonist) interaction means negatively affecting (e.g. decreasing) the activity or function of the protein relative to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the inhibitor. In some embodiments inhibition refers to reduction of a disease or symptoms of disease. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a reduction in the activity of a signal transduction pathway or signaling pathway. Thus, inhibition includes, at least in part, partially or totally blocking stimulation, decreasing, preventing, or delaying activation, or inactivating, desensitizing, or down-regulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a decrease in the activity of a signal transduction pathway or signaling pathway (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activated pathway). Thus, inhibition may include, at least in part, partially or totally decreasing stimulation, decreasing or reducing activation, or inactivating, desensitizing, or down-regulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein increased in a disease (e.g. level of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) activity or protein or level or activity of a component of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway, wherein each is associated with cancer (e.g. prostate cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian cancer, lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma (e.g head, neck, or esophagus), colorectal cancer, leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, or multiple myeloma)) or a viral disease (e.g. herpesvirus infection associated disease or hepatitis virus infection associated disease or HIV infection associated disease). Inhibition may include, at least in part, partially or totally decreasing stimulation, decreasing or reducing activation, or deactivating, desensitizing, or down-regulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6), protein downstream in a pathway from a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6), protein downstream in a pathway activated by a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6)) that may modulate the level of another protein or increase cell survival (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway activity may increase cell survival in cells that may or may not have an increase in a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway activity relative to a non-disease control or decrease in a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway activity may increase cell survival in cells that may or may not have a decrease in a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) pathway activity relative to a non-disease control). In embodiments, the activity or function of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) that is inhibited is STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) transcriptional activation. In embodiments, the activity or function of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) that is inhibited is STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) transcriptional inhibition. In embodiments, the activity or function of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) that is inhibited is STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) binding to genomic DNA. In embodiments, the activity or function of a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) that is inhibited is STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) binding to a STAT (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) binding site in genomic DNA.
- As defined herein, the term “activation”, “activate”, “activating” and the like in reference to a protein-activator (e.g. agonist) interaction means positively affecting (e.g. increasing) the activity or function of the protein (e.g. a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6), component of a pathway including a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6), or component of a pathway including a STAT transcription factor (e.g. STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6)) relative to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the activator (e.g. compound described herein).

- “Nucleic acid” or “oligonucleotide” or “polynucleotide” or grammatical equivalents used herein means at least two nucleotides covalently linked together.

Nucleic acids and polynucleotides are a polymers of any length, including longer lengths, e.g., 200, 300, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000, 7000, 10,000, etc. In certain embodiments. the nucleic acids herein contain phosphodiester bonds.

Chapters - A particular nucleic acid sequence also encompasses “splice variants.” Similarly, a particular protein encoded by a nucleic acid encompasses any protein encoded by a splice variant of that nucleic acid. “Splice variants,” as the name suggests, are products of alternative splicing of a gene. After transcription, an initial nucleic acid transcript may be spliced such that different (alternate) nucleic acid splice products encode different polypeptides. Mechanisms for the production of splice variants vary, but include alternate splicing of exons. Alternate polypeptides derived from the same nucleic acid by read-through transcription are also encompassed by this definition. Any products of a splicing reaction, including recombinant forms of the splice products, are included in this definition. An example of potassium channel splice variants is discussed in Leicher, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 273(52):35095-35101 (1998).
- Nucleic acid is “operably linked” when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, DNA for a presequence or secretory leader is operably linked to DNA for a polypeptide if it is expressed as a preprotein that participates in the secretion of the polypeptide; a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects the transcription of the sequence; or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned so as to facilitate translation. Generally, “operably linked” means that the DNA sequences being linked are near each other, and, in the case of a secretory leader, contiguous and in reading phase. However, enhancers do not have to be contiguous. Linking is accomplished by ligation at convenient restriction sites. If such sites do not exist, the synthetic oligonucleotide adaptors or linkers are used in accordance with conventional practice.
- An amino acid residue in a protein “corresponds” to a given residue when it occupies the same essential structural position within the protein as the given residue. For example, a selected residue in a selected protein (e.g. homolog of human STAT, STAT1, STAT2, STAT4, STAT5A, STAT5B, or STAT6) corresponds to STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 when the selected residue occupies the same essential spatial or other structural relationship as STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 in each respective STAT protein. In some embodiments, where a selected protein is aligned for maximum homology with the a STAT protein, the position in the aligned selected protein aligning with STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 is said to correspond to STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 respectively. Instead of a primary sequence alignment, a three dimensional structural alignment can also be used, e.g., where the structure of the selected protein is aligned for maximum correspondence with the a human STAT protein and the overall structures compared. In this case, an amino acid that occupies the same essential position as STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641 in the structural model is said to correspond to STAT1 Y701, STAT2, Y690, STAT3 Y705, STAT4 Y693, STAT5A Y694, STAT5B Y694, or STAT6 Y641.
- The terms “identical” or percent “identity,” in the context of two or more nucleic acids or polypeptide sequences, refer to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or have a specified percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides that are the same (i.e., about 60% identity, preferably 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or higher identity over a specified region when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window or designated region) as measured using a BLAST or BLAST 2.0 sequence comparison algorithms with default parameters described below, or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., NCBI web site or the like). Such sequences are then said to be “substantially identical.” This definition also refers to, or may be applied to, the compliment of a test sequence. The definition also includes sequences that have deletions and/or additions, as well as those that have substitutions. As described below, the preferred algorithms can account for gaps and the like. Preferably, identity exists over a region that is at least about 10 amino acids or 20 nucleotides in length, or more preferably over a region that is 10-50 amino acids or 20-50 nucleotides in length. As used herein, percent (%) amino acid sequence identity is defined as the percentage of amino acids in a candidate sequence that are identical to the amino acids in a reference sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR) software. Appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared can be determined by known methods.
- For sequence comparisons, typically one sequence acts as a reference sequence, to which test sequences are compared. When using a sequence comparison algorithm, test and reference sequences are entered into a computer, subsequence coordinates are designated, if necessary, and sequence algorithm program parameters are designated. Preferably, default program parameters can be used, or alternative parameters can be designated. The sequence comparison algorithm then calculates the percent sequence identities for the test sequences relative to the reference sequence, based on the program parameters.
- A “comparison window”, as used herein, includes reference to a segment of any one of the number of contiguous positions selected from the group consisting of from 10 to 600, usually about 50 to about 200, more usually about 100 to about 150 in which a sequence may be compared to a reference sequence of the same number of contiguous positions after the two sequences are optimally aligned. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well-known in the art. Optimal alignment of sequences for comparison can be conducted, e.g., by the local homology algorithm of Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482 (1981), by the homology alignment algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443 (1970), by the search for similarity method of Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (1988), by computerized implementations of these algorithms (GAP, BESTFIT, FASTA, and TFASTA in the Wisconsin Genetics Software Package, Genetics Computer Group, 575 Science Dr., Madison, Wis.), or by manual alignment and visual inspection (see, e.g., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel et al., eds. 1995 supplement)).
- The phrase “selectively (or specifically) hybridizes to” refers to the binding, duplexing, or hybridizing of a molecule only to a particular nucleotide sequence with a higher affinity, e.g., under more stringent conditions, than to other nucleotide sequences (e.g., total cellular or library DNA or RNA).
- The phrase “stringent hybridization conditions” refers to conditions under which a probe will hybridize to its target subsequence, typically in a complex mixture of nucleic acids, but to no other sequences. Stringent conditions are sequence-dependent and will be different in different circumstances. Longer sequences hybridize specifically at higher temperatures. An extensive guide to the hybridization of nucleic acids is found in Tijssen, Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology—Hybridization with Nucleic Probes, “Overview of principles of hybridization and the strategy of nucleic acid assays” (1993). Generally, stringent conditions are selected to be about 5-10° C. lower than the thermal melting point (Tm) for the specific sequence at a defined ionic strength pH. The Tm is the temperature (under defined ionic strength, pH, and nucleic concentration) at which 50% of the probes complementary to the target hybridize to the target sequence at equilibrium (as the target sequences are present in excess, at Tm, 50% of the probes are occupied at equilibrium). Stringent conditions may also be achieved with the addition of destabilizing agents such as formamide. For selective or specific hybridization, a positive signal is at least two times background, preferably 10 times background hybridization. Exemplary stringent hybridization conditions can be as following: 50% formamide, 5×SSC, and 1% SDS, incubating at 42° C., or, 5×SSC, 1% SDS, incubating at 65° C., with wash in 0.2×SSC, and 0.1% SDS at 65° C.
- Nucleic acids that do not hybridize to each other under stringent conditions are still substantially identical if the polypeptides which they encode are substantially identical. This occurs, for example, when a copy of a nucleic acid is created using the maximum codon degeneracy permitted by the genetic code. In such cases, the nucleic acids typically hybridize under moderately stringent hybridization conditions. Exemplary “moderately stringent hybridization conditions” include a hybridization in a buffer of 40% formamide, 1 M NaCl, 1% SDS at 37° C., and a wash in 1×SSC at 45° C. A positive hybridization is at least twice background. Those of ordinary skill will readily recognize that alternative hybridization and wash conditions can be utilized to provide conditions of similar stringency. Additional guidelines for determining hybridization parameters are provided in numerous reference, e.g., and Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, ed. Ausubel, et al.
- A “label” or a “detectable moiety” is a composition detectable by spectroscopic, photochemical, biochemical, immunochemical, chemical, magnetic resonance imaging, or other physical means. For example, useful detectable moieties include 32P, fluorescent dyes, electron-dense reagents, enzymes (e.g., as commonly used in an ELISA), biotin, digoxigenin, paramagnetic molecules, paramagnetic nanoparticles, ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (“USPIO”) nanoparticles, USPIO nanoparticle aggregates, superparamagnetic iron oxide (“SPIO”) nanoparticles, SPIO nanoparticle aggregates, monochrystalline SPIO, monochrystalline SPIO aggregates, monochrystalline iron oxide nanoparticles, monochrystalline iron oxide, other nanoparticle contrast agents, liposomes or other delivery vehicles containing Gadolinium chelate (“Gd-chelate”) molecules, Gadolinium, radioisotopes, radionuclides (e.g. carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15, fluorine-18, rubidium-82), fluorodeoxyglucose (e.g. fluorine-18 labeled), any gamma ray emitting radionuclides, positron-emitting radionuclide, radiolabeled glucose, radiolabeled water, radiolabeled ammonia, biocolloids, microbubbles (e.g. including microbubble shells including albumin, galactose, lipid, and/or polymers; microbubble gas core including air, heavy gas(es), perfluorcarbon, nitrogen, octafluoropropane, perflexane lipid microsphere, perflutren, etc.), iodinated contrast agents (e.g. iohexol, iodixanol, ioversol, iopamidol, ioxilan, iopromide, diatrizoate, metrizoate, ioxaglate), barium sulfate, thorium dioxide, gold, gold nanoparticles, gold nanoparticle aggregates, fluorophores, two-photon fluorophores, or haptens and proteins or other entities which can be made detectable, e.g., by incorporating a radiolabel into a peptide or antibody specifically reactive with a target peptide. Detectable moieties also include any of the above compositions encapsulated in nanoparticles, particles, aggregates, coated with additional compositions, derivatized for binding to a targeting agent (e.g. compound described herein). Any method known in the art for conjugating an oligonucleotide or protein to the label may be employed, e.g., using methods described in Hermanson, Bioconjugate Techniques 1996, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego.
- MRI can be used to non-invasively acquire tissue images with high resolution. Paramagnetic agents or USPIO nanoparticles or aggregates thereof enhance signal attenuation on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images, and conjugation of such nanoparticles to binding ligands permits the detection of specific molecules at the cellular level. For example, MRI with nanoparticle detection agents can detect small foci of cancer. See e.g., Y. W. Jun et al., 2005, 1 Am. Chem. Soc. 127:5732-5733; Y. M. Huh et al., 2005, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 127:12387-12391. Contrast-enhanced MRI is well-suited for the dynamic non-invasive imaging of macromolecules or of molecular events, but it requires ligands that specifically bind to the molecule of interest. J. W. Bulte et al., 2004, NMR Biomed. 17:484-499.

Two weeks after poly(I:C)-induced (Invivogen) expression of CBFβ-SMMHC, bone marrow cells from Cbfb+/56M/MX-Cre+ mice were transduced with retroviral MIG-Mpl vector encoding thrombopoietin receptor and GFP genes to generate transplantable Cbfb-MYH11/Mpl+ mouse AML (Landrette et al. Leukemia. 2011). Mouse RAW264.7 macrophages and human PC3, DU145 prostate cancer cells were purchased from ATCC. The reporter RAW-Blue cells were obtained from Imgenex and handled as suggested by the manufacturer. Human KG1a, MV4-11 leukemia and Raji, REC1 lymphoma cell lines were obtained. Mousec B16-F10 melanoma, TRAMP-C2 (TC2) prostate cancer, MB49 bladder cancer and K1739-M2 melanoma cells were kindly provided. Healthy PBMCs were isolated from discarded blood samples from anonymous donors provided by the Blood Donor Center at City of Hope.

- In vivo experiments. NOD/SCID/IL-2RγKO (NSG) and C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) were from the NCI (Frederick, Md.) or from the Jackson Laboratory, respectively. TLR9KO mice were originally from provided. Animal care/procedures were performed in accordance with established institutional guidance and approved protocols from the IACUC (COH). NSG or C57BL/6 mice were injected into lateral tail vein with 0.5×106 MV4-11luc or 1×106 of Cbfb-MYH11/Mpl+ AML cells in PBS, respectively. Blood was drawn from the retro-orbital venous sinus to monitor the percentage of circulating c-Kit+/GFP+ AML cells. After AML levels in blood exceeded 1% which corresponds to 10-20% of bone marrow-residing AML cells (Kuo), NSG and C57BL/6 mice were injected i.v. with various CpG-conjugates (5 mg/kg) every day or every other day, respectively, and euthanized a day after the last treatment.
- Flow cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Single cell suspensions were prepared by mechanic tissue disruption and collagenase D/DNase I treatment as described (Kortylewski et al. Nat. Med 2005). The AML cell percentages were determined by GFP and c-Kit expression. For extracellular staining, cells were incubated with fluorochrome-labeled Annexin V or antibodies to B220, CD3, CD11c, Gr1, F4/80, MHC class II, CD40, CD80, CD86, PDL1, CD3, CD4, CD8 or CD69 after anti-FcγIII/IIR blocking (eBioscience). For intracellular staining, cells were fixed/permeabilized and stained with antibodies to TLR9 (eBioscience), Stat3P or FoxP3 (BD) as described (Kortylewski et al. Nat. Med 2005). Fluorescence data were analyzed on a BD-AccuriC6 Flow Cytometer (BD) using FlowJo software (TreeStar). Immunohistochemical staining was performed on formalin-fixed/paraffin-embedded bone sections (5 μm) at the Pathology Core (COH).
- Quantitative real-time PCR and protein assays. Total RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis were carried out as described previously (Zhang et al. Blood 2013). Western blot to detect STAT3, STAT3P and β-actin expression and EMSA assays to detect STAT3 binding to DNA were performed as described (Kortylewski et al. Nat. Biotech. 2009; Zhang et al. Blood 2013). Plasma cytokines were analyzed using Bio-Plex arrays (Bio-Rad) at the Clinical Immunobiology Core (COH).
- Statistical analysis. One- or two-way analysis of variance plus Bonferroni posttest were applied to assess statistical significance of differences between multiple treatment groups or in tumor growth kinetics between treatment groups, respectively. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism vs4.0 software (GraphPad).

To achieve STAT3 inhibition specifically in antigen-presenting cells (APCs), we linked STAT3 decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (STAT3dODN) to a TLR9 ligand, CpG ODN as successfully done before for delivery of siRNA molecules. The CpG-STAT3dODN conjugates are quickly internalized by both human and mouse TLR9-positive target cells such as dendritic cells (DCs), macrophages and B lymphocytes as well as by myeloid leukemia cells. After uptake, CpG-STAT3dODN molecules bind and sequester activated STAT3 proteins. The hairpin design and partial phosphorothioation of the backbone increases half-life of the CpG-STAT3dODN in human serum. Therefore, we assessed the feasibility of using CpG-STAT3dODNs for systemic administration against disseminated human TLR9+ acute myeloid leukemia (AML). As shown in xenotransplanted MV4-11 AML model repeated intravenous injections of CpG-STAT3dODN resulted in potent and direct antitumor effects effectively eliminating leukemic cells from all tested organs. The antitumor efficacy of this strategy is enhanced in immunocompetent mice. Systemic administration of CpG-STAT3dODN induced regression of the syngeneic mouse Cbfb/MYH11 leukemia within 12 days of treatment. The potent immune activation was associated with enhanced expression of antigen-presenting and co-stimulatory molecules not only on DCs but also on AML cells. These immunostimulatory effects correlated with activation and infiltration of CD8+ T cells into various organs with reduction in regulatory T cell numbers. Our findings highlight the potential of using CpGSTAT3dODN for the two-pronged TLR9/STAT3-targeted immunotherapy of human AML.
