It has been reported that HSP90 hyperacetylation destabilizes its target proteins, including ER and EGFR. Inhibitors of HDAC6 have demonstrated anti-cancer proliferative activity in various cancer types. Blocking HDAC6 activity has been shown to cause cancer cell growth inhibition through various mechanisms.
- In spite of numerous treatment options for cancer patients, there remains a need for effective and safe therapeutic options.

In an embodiment, C4-C7 heteroaryl groups are provided herein.
- As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to derivatives of the disclosed compounds wherein the parent compound is modified by converting an existing acid or base moiety to its salt form. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, mineral or organic acid salts of basic residues such as amines; alkali or organic salts of acidic residues such as carboxylic acids; and the like. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention include the conventional non-toxic salts of the parent compound formed, for example, from non-toxic inorganic or organic acids. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from the parent compound which contains a basic or acidic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two; generally, nonaqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile are preferred. Lists of suitable salts are found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, p. 1418 and Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 66, 2 (1977), each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein refers to those compounds, materials, compositions and/or dosage forms, which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for contact with the tissues a warm-blooded animal, e.g., a mammal or human, without excessive toxicity, irritation allergic response and other problem complications commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.
- The terms “fixed combination,” “fixed dose,” and “single formulation” as used herein refers to a single carrier or vehicle or dosage form formulated to deliver an amount, which is jointly therapeutically effective for the treatment of cancer, of both therapeutic agents to a patient. The single vehicle is designed to deliver an amount of each of the agents, along with any pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients. In some embodiments, the vehicle is a tablet, capsule, pill, or a patch. In other embodiments, the vehicle is a solution or a suspension.
- The term “non-fixed combination,” “kit of parts,” and “separate formulations” means that the active ingredients, i.e., the HDAC6 inhibitor and the PD-L1 inhibitor, are administered to a patient as separate entities either simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially with no specific time limits, wherein such administration provides therapeutically effective levels of the two compounds in the body of the subject in need thereof. The latter also applies to cocktail therapy, e.g., the administration of three or more active ingredients.
- An “oral dosage form” includes a unit dosage form prescribed or intended for oral administration. In an embodiment of the pharmaceutical combinations provided herein, the HDAC6 inhibitor (e.g., Compounds A or B) is administered as an oral dosage form.
- The term “treating” or “treatment” as used herein comprises a treatment relieving, reducing or alleviating at least one symptom in a subject or effecting a delay of progression of a disease. For example, treatment can be the diminishment of one or several symptoms of a disorder or complete eradication of a disorder, such as cancer.
- The term “prevent,” “preventing,” or “prevention” as used herein comprises the prevention of at least one symptom associated with or caused by the state, disease or disorder being prevented.
- The term “pharmaceutically effective amount,” “therapeutically effective amount,” or “clinically effective amount” of a combination of therapeutic agents is an amount sufficient to provide an observable or clinically significant improvement over the baseline clinically observable signs and symptoms of the disorders treated with the combination.
- The term “jointly therapeutically active” or “joint therapeutic effect” as used herein means that the therapeutic agents can be given separately (in a chronologically staggered manner, especially a sequence-specific manner) in such time intervals that they prefer, in the warm-blooded animal, especially human, to be treated, still show an (preferably synergistic) interaction (joint therapeutic effect). Whether this is the case can, inter alia, be determined by following the blood levels of the compounds, showing that both compounds are present in the blood of the human to be treated at least during certain time intervals.
- The term “synergistic effect” as used herein, refers to action of two agents such as, for example, a compound of Formula I (e.g., Compound B), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a PD-L1 inhibitor (e.g., MDX-1105), to produce an effect, for example, slowing the symptomatic progression of cancer or symptoms thereof, which is greater than the simple addition of the effects of each drug administered by itself. A synergistic effect can be calculated, for example, using suitable methods such as the Sigmoid-Emax equation (Holford, N. H. G. and Scheiner, L. B., Clin. Pharmacokinet. 6: 429-453 (1981)), the equation of Loewe additivity (Loewe, S. and Muischnek, H., Arch. Exp. Pathol Pharmacol. 114: 313-326 (1926)) and the median-effect equation (Chou, T. C. and Talalay, P., Adv. Enzyme Regul. 22: 27-55 (1984)). Each equation referred to above can be applied to experimental data to generate a corresponding graph to aid in assessing the effects of the drug combination. The corresponding graphs associated with the equations referred to above are the concentration-effect curve, isobologram curve and combination index curve, respectively.
- The term “subject” or “patient” as used herein is intended to include animals, which are capable of suffering from or afflicted with a cancer or any disorder involving, directly or indirectly, a cancer. Examples of subjects include mammals, e.g., humans, apes, monkeys, dogs, cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cats, mice, rabbits, rats, and transgenic non-human animals. In an embodiment, the subject is a human, e.g., a human suffering from, at risk of suffering from, or potentially capable of suffering from cancers.
- As used herein, the term “resistant” or “refractive” to a therapeutic agent when referring to a cancer patient means that the cancer has innate, or achieved resistance to, the effects of the therapeutic agent as a result of contact with the therapeutic agent. Stated alternatively, the cancer is resistant to the ordinary standard of care associated with the particular therapeutic agent.
- The terms “comprising” and “including” are used herein in their open-ended and non-limiting sense unless otherwise noted.
- The terms “a” and “an” and “the” and similar references in the context of describing the invention (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Where the plural form is used for compounds, salts, and the like, this is taken to mean also a single compound, salt, or the like.
- The terms “about” or “approximately” are generally understood by persons knowledgeable in the relevant subject area, but in certain circumstances can mean within 20%, within 10%, or within 5% of a given value or range. Alternatively, especially in biological systems, the term “about” means within about a log (i.e., an order of magnitude) or within a factor of two of a given value. The term “combination,” “therapeutic combination,” or “pharmaceutical combination” as used herein refer to either a fixed combination in one dosage unit form, or non-fixed combination, or a kit of parts for the combined administration where two or more therapeutic agents may be administered independently, at the same time or separately within time intervals, especially where these time intervals allow that the combination partners show a cooperative, e.g., synergistic effect.
- The term “combination therapy” refers to the administration of two or more therapeutic agents to treat a therapeutic condition or disorder described in the present disclosure. Such administration encompasses co-administration of these therapeutic agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single formulation having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in separate formulations (e.g., capsules and/or intravenous formulations) for each active ingredient. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic agent in a sequential or separate manner, either at approximately the same time or at different times. Regardless of whether the active ingredients are administered as a single formulation or in separate formulations, the drugs are administered to the same patient as part of the same course of therapy. In any case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial effects in treating the conditions or disorders described herein.
- The term “histone deacetylase” or “HDAC” refers to enzymes that remove the acetyl groups from the lysine residues in core histones, thus leading to the formation of a condensed and transcriptionally silenced chromatin. There are currently 18 known histone deacetylases, which are classified into four groups. Class I HDACs, which include HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8, are related to the yeast RPD3 gene. Class II HDACs, which include HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC9, and HDAC10, are related to the yeast Hda1 gene. Class III HDACs, which are also known as the sirtuins are related to the Sir2 gene and include SIRT1-7. Class IV HDACs, which contains only HDAC11, has features of both Class I and II HDACs. The term “HDAC” refers to any one or more of the 18 known histone deacetylases, unless otherwise specified.
- The term “histone deacetylase inhibitor” (HDAC inhibitors, HDACi, HDIs) as used herein refers to a compound that selectively targets, decreases, or inhibits at least one activity of a histone deacetylase.

For example, the PD-L1 inhibitor is a derivative or fragment of atezolizumab (MPDL3280), avelumab (MSB0010718C), durvalumab (MEDI-4736), and MDX-1105 (BMS-936559), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In certain embodiments, the derivative or the fragment can be a molecule sharing a distinct structure (e.g., 70%-99% similarity) and similar biological activity in common with an antibody described herein. In certain embodiments, the derivative or the fragment comprises 70-75%, 75-80%, 80-85%, 85-90%, 95-97%, or 97-99% sequence (i.e., nucleic acid and amino acid) identity with a PD-L1 inhibitor described herein.
- Methods of determining sequence identity are known in the art. The identity or homology may be the degree of identity between any given query sequence, for example, the percentage of nucleotide bases or amino acid residues in the antibody sequence that are identical with the residue of a corresponding sequence to which it is compared. Methods and computer programs for the alignment are available and well known in the art. See for example international publication numbers WO2007084385 and WO2012113863.
- The variable region typically refers to a portion of an antibody, generally, a portion of a light or heavy chain (e.g., about the amino-terminal 110 to 120 amino acids in a mature heavy chain and about the amino-terminal 90 to 100 amino acids in a mature light chain) which is used in the binding and specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. The variability in sequence is concentrated in those regions called complementarity determining regions while the more highly conserved regions in the variable domain are called framework regions (FR).
- In certain embodiments the PD-L1 inhibitor of the invention comprises a heavy chain encoded by an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.: 1. The present invention also relates to an PD-L1 inhibitor comprising a light chain having an amino acid sequence with at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.: 2. In various embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises a heavy chain encoded by an amino acid sequence having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.: 1; and comprises a light chain having an amino acid sequence with at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO.: 2.
- In certain embodiments, the variable domains of heavy and light chains each comprise complementarity determining regions (CDRs) which bind to PD-L1. See Kabat et al., 1987 Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md. For the heavy chain variable region, the hypervariable region ranges from amino acid positions 31 to 35 for CDR1, amino acid positions 50 to 65 for CDR2, and amino acid positions 95 to 106 for CDR3. For the light chain variable region, the hypervariable region ranges from amino acid positions 24 to 34 for CDR1, amino acid positions 50 to 56 for CDR2, and amino acid positions 89 to 97 for CDR3. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 7,709,226 B2.
- The exact boundaries of these CDRs have been defined differently according to different systems. The system described by Kabat (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1987) and (1991)) not only provides an unambiguous residue numbering system applicable to any variable region of an antibody, but also provides precise residue boundaries defining the three CDRs. These CDRs can be referred to as Kabat CDRs. Chothia and coworkers (Chothia and Lesk (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917) and Chothia et al. (1989) Nature 342:877-883) found that certain sub-portions within Kabat CDRs adopt nearly identical peptide backbone conformations, despite having great diversity at the level of amino acid sequence. These sub-portions were designated as L1, L2 and L3 or H1, H2 and H3 where the “L” and the “H” designates the light chain and the heavy chains regions, respectively. These regions may be referred to as Chothia CDRs, which have boundaries that overlap with Kabat CDRs. Other boundaries defining CDRs overlapping with the Kabat CDRs have been described by Padlan (1995) FASEB J. 9:133-139 and MacCallum (1996) J. Mol. Biol. 262(5):732-745. Still other CDR boundary definitions may not strictly follow one of the above systems, but will nonetheless overlap with the Kabat CDRs, although they may be shortened or lengthened in light of prediction or experimental findings that particular residues or groups of residues or even entire CDRs do not significantly impact antigen binding. The methods used herein may utilize CDRs defined according to any of these systems, although particular embodiments use Kabat or Chothia defined CDRs. See for example international publication number WO2016149368.
- In certain embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor includes the complementarity determining regions (CDR) sequences of an antibody described herein. For example, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises a binding domain that comprises one or more CDR regions found within an antibody described herein, e.g., atezolizumab and avelumab. In certain embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises at least one CDR found within the heavy chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 1. In certain embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises one CDR, two CDRs or three CDRs found within the heavy chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 1. In certain embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises one CDR, two CDRs or three CDRs found within the light chain amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 2. In various embodiments the PD-L1 inhibitor of the invention comprises at least one heavy chain CDR having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with at least one CDRs found within the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 1. In various embodiments, the PD-L1 inhibitor comprises a light chain CDR having at least 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identity with at least one CDR found within the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 2.

- When the combination partners, which are employed in the combination of the invention, are applied in the form as marketed as single drugs, their dosage and mode of administration can be in accordance with the information provided on the package insert of the respective marketed drug, if not mentioned herein otherwise.
- The optimal dosage of each combination partner for treatment of a cancer can be determined empirically for each individual using known methods and will depend upon a variety of factors, including, though not limited to: the degree of advancement of the disease; the age, body weight, general health, gender and diet of the individual; the time and route of administration; and other medications the individual is taking. Optimal dosages may be established using routine testing and procedures that are well known in the art.
- The amount of each combination partner that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the individual treated and the particular mode of administration. In some embodiments the unit dosage forms containing the combination of agents as described herein will contain the amounts of each agent of the combination that are typically administered when the agents are administered alone. Frequency of dosage may vary depending on the compound used and the particular condition to be treated or prevented.

- It can be shown by established test models that a pharmaceutical combination as provided herein results in the beneficial effects described herein before. The person skilled in the art is fully enabled to select a relevant test model to prove such beneficial effects. The pharmacological activity of the pharmaceutical combinations provided herein may, for example, be demonstrated in a clinical study or in an animal model.
- In an embodiment, the pharmaceutical combination or composition, or both, provided herein display a synergistic effect. In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical combination or composition is administered at dosages that would not be effective when one or both of the HDAC inhibitor and the PD-L1 inhibitor is administered alone, but which amounts are effective in combination.
- In determining a synergistic interaction between one or more components, the optimum range for the effect and absolute dose ranges of each component for the effect may be definitively measured by administration of the components over different w/w ratio ranges and doses to patients in need of treatment. For humans, the complexity and cost of carrying out clinical studies on patients may render impractical the use of this form of testing as a primary model for synergy. However, the observation of synergy in certain experiments can be predictive of the effect in other species, and animal models exist may be used to further quantify a synergistic effect. The results of such studies can also be used to predict effective dose ratio ranges and the absolute doses and plasma concentrations.
- In a further embodiment, provided herein is a synergistic combination for administration to a subject comprising the combination of the invention, where the dose range of each component corresponds to the synergistic ranges suggested in a suitable tumor model or clinical study.
- The contents of all references (including literature references, issued patents, published patent applications, and co-pending patent applications) cited throughout this application are hereby expressly incorporated herein in their entireties by reference. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein are accorded the meaning commonly known to one with ordinary skill in the art.
- The following Examples illustrate the invention described above; they are not, however, intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

- Step (1): Synthesis of Compound 11: Ethyl 2-chloropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (7.0 Kgs), ethanol (60 Kgs), 2-Chloroaniline (9.5 Kgs, 2 eq) and acetic acid (3.7 Kgs, 1.6 eq) were charged to a reactor under inert atmosphere. The mixture was heated to reflux. After at least 5 hours the reaction was sampled for HPLC analysis. When analysis indicated reaction completion, the mixture was cooled to 70±5° C. and N,N-Diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) was added. The reaction was then cooled to 20±5° C. and the mixture was stirred for an additional 2-6 hours. The resulting precipitate is filtered and washed with ethanol (2×6 Kgs) and heptane (24 Kgs). The cake is dried under reduced pressure at 50±5° C. to a constant weight to produce 8.4 Kgs compound 11 (81% yield and 99.9% purity.
- Step (2): Synthesis of Compound 3: Copper powder (0.68 Kgs, 1 eq, <75 micron), potassium carbonate (4.3 Kgs, 1.7 eq), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 12.3 Kgs) were added to a reactor (vessel A). The resulting solution was heated to 120±5° C. In a separate reactor (vessel B), a solution of compound 11 (2.9 Kgs) and iodobenzene (4.3 Kgs, 2 eq) in DMSO (5.6 Kgs) was heated at 40±5° C. The mixture was then transferred to vessel A over 2-3 hours. The reaction mixture was heated at 120±5° C. for 8-24 hours, until HPLC analysis determined that 1% compound 11 was remaining.
- Step (3): Synthesis of Compound 4: The mixture of Step (2) was cooled to 90-100° C. and purified water (59 Kgs) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 90-100° C. for 2-8 hours until HPLC showed that 1
% compound 3 was remaining. The reactor was cooled to 25° C. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, then a 0.2 micron filter, and the filtrate was collected. The filtrate was extracted with methyl t-butyl ether twice (2×12.8 Kgs). The aqueous layer was cooled to 0-5° C., then acidified with 6N hydrochloric acid (HCl) to pH 2-3 while keeping the temperature <25° C. The reaction was then cooled to 5-15° C. The precipitate was filtered and washed with cold water. The cake was dried at 45-55° C. under reduced pressure to constant weight to obtain 2.2 kg (65% yield) compound 4 in 90.3% AUC purity. - Step (4): Synthesis of Compound 5: Dichloromethane (40.3 Kgs), DMF (33 g, 0.04 eq) and compound 4 (2.3 Kg) were charged to a reaction flask. The solution was filtered through a 0.2 μm filter and was returned to the flask. Oxalyl chloride (0.9 Kgs, 1 eq) was added via addition funnel over 30-120 minutes at <30° C. The batch was then stirred at <30° C. until reaction completion (compound 4%) was confirmed by HPLC. Next, the dichloromethane solution was concentrated and residual oxalyl chloride was removed under reduced pressure at <40° C. When HPLC analysis indicated that <0.10% oxalyl chloride was remaining, the concentrate was dissolved in fresh dichloromethane (24 Kgs) and transferred back to the reaction vessel (Vessel A).
- A second vessel (Vessel B) was charged with Methyl 7-aminoheptanoate hydrochloride (Compound A1, 1.5 Kgs, 1.09 eq), DIPEA (2.5 Kgs, 2.7 eq), 4 (Dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP, 42 g, 0.05 eq), and DCM (47.6 Kgs). The mixture was cooled to 0-10° C. and the acid chloride solution in Vessel A was transferred to Vessel B while maintaining the temperature at 5° C. to 10° C. The reaction is stirred at 5-10° C. for 3 to 24 hours at which point HPLC analysis indicated reaction completion (compound 4≤5%). The mixture was then extracted with a 1M HCl solution (20 Kgs), purified water (20 Kgs), 7% sodium bicarbonate (20 Kgs), purified water (20 Kgs), and 25% sodium chloride solution (20 Kgs). The dichloromethane was then vacuum distilled at <40° C. and chased repeatedly with isopropyl alcohol. When analysis indicated that <1 mol % DCM was remaining, the mixture was gradually cooled to 0-5° C. and was stirred at 0-5° C. for an at least 2 hours. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cold isopropyl alcohol (6.4 Kgs). The cake was sucked dry on the filter for 4-24 hours, then was further dried at 45-55° C. under reduced pressure to constant weight. 2.2 Kgs (77% yield) was isolated in 95.9% AUC purity method and 99.9 wt %.
- Step (5): Synthesis of Compound (I): Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (3.3 Kgs, 10 eq) and methanol (9.6 Kgs) were charged to a reactor. The resulting solution was cooled to 0-5° C. and 25% sodium methoxide (11.2 Kgs, 11 eq) was charged slowly, maintaining the temperature at 0-10° C. Once the addition was complete, the reaction was mixed at 20° C. for 1-3 hours and filtered, and the filter cake was washed with methanol (2×2.1 Kgs). The filtrate (hydroxylamine free base) was returned to the reactor and cooled to 0±5° C. Compound 5 (2.2 Kgs) was added. The reaction was stirred until the reaction was complete (
compound 5≤2%). The mixture was filtered and water (28 Kgs) and ethyl acetate (8.9 Kgs) were added to the filtrate. The pH was adjusted to 8-9 using 6N HCl then stirred for up to 3 hours before filtering. The filter cake was washed with cold water (25.7 Kgs), then dried under reduced pressure to constant weight. The crude solid compound (I) was determined to be Form IV/Pattern D. - The crude solid (1.87 Kgs) was suspended in isopropyl alcohol (IPA, 27.1 Kg). The slurry was heated to 75±5° C. to dissolve the solids. The solution was seeded with crystals of Compound (I) (Form I/Pattern A), and was allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The resulting precipitate was stirred for 1-2 hours before filtering. The filter cake was rinsed with IPA (2×9.5 Kgs), then dried at 45-55° C. to constant weight under reduced pressure to result in 1.86 kg crystalline white solid Compound (I) in 85% yield and 99.5% purity (AUC %, e.g., by the HPLC method of Table 3).
