Definitions
- the present invention is concerned with combinations of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor and an anti-tumor anthracychne derivative for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, and useful in the treatment of cancer.
- Oncogenes frequently encode protein components of signal transduction pathways which lead to stimulation of cell growth and mitogenesis.
- Oncogene expression in cultured cells leads to cellular transformation, characterized by the ability of cells to grow in soft agar and the growth of cells as dense foci lacking the contact inhibition exhibited by non-transformed cells. Mutation and/or overexpression of certain oncogenes is frequently associated with human cancer.
- a particular group of oncogenes is known as ras which have been identified in mammals, birds, insects, mollusks, plants, fungi and yeasts.
- the family of mammalian ras oncogenes consists of three major members ("isoforms") : H-ras, K-ras and N-ras oncogenes. These ras oncogenes code for highly related proteins generically known as p21 ra5 .
- the mutant or oncogenic forms of p21 ra ' s will provide a signal for the transformation and uncontrolled growth of malignant tumor cells.
- the precursor of the p21 ra ' s oncoprotein must undergo an enzymatically catalyzed farnesylation of the cysteine residue located in a carboxyl- terminal tetrapeptide.
- farnesyl transferase inhibitors can be very useful as anticancer agents for tumors in which ras contributes to transformation.
- WO-97/21701 describes the preparation, formulation and pharmaceutical properties of farnesyl protein transferase inhibiting (imidazoly-5-yl)methyl-2-quinolinone derivatives of formulas (I), (II) and (HI), as well as intermediates of formula (II) and (IE) that are metabolized in vivo to the compounds of formula (I).

Description
FARNESYL PROTEIN TRANSFERASE INHIBITOR COMBINATIONS WITH ANTI-TUMOR ANTHRACYCLINE DERIVATIVES
The present invention is concerned with combinations of a farnesyl transferase inhibitor and an anti-tumor anthracychne derivative for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells, and useful in the treatment of cancer.
Oncogenes frequently encode protein components of signal transduction pathways which lead to stimulation of cell growth and mitogenesis. Oncogene expression in cultured cells leads to cellular transformation, characterized by the ability of cells to grow in soft agar and the growth of cells as dense foci lacking the contact inhibition exhibited by non-transformed cells. Mutation and/or overexpression of certain oncogenes is frequently associated with human cancer. A particular group of oncogenes is known as ras which have been identified in mammals, birds, insects, mollusks, plants, fungi and yeasts. The family of mammalian ras oncogenes consists of three major members ("isoforms") : H-ras, K-ras and N-ras oncogenes. These ras oncogenes code for highly related proteins generically known as p21ra5. Once attached to plasma membranes, the mutant or oncogenic forms of p21ra's will provide a signal for the transformation and uncontrolled growth of malignant tumor cells. To acquire this transforming potential, the precursor of the p21ra's oncoprotein must undergo an enzymatically catalyzed farnesylation of the cysteine residue located in a carboxyl- terminal tetrapeptide. Therefore, inhibitors of the enzyme that catalyzes this modification, farnesyl protein transferase, will prevent the membrane attachment of p21r ,s and block the aberrant growth of ras-transformed tumors. Hence, it is generally accepted in the art that farnesyl transferase inhibitors can be very useful as anticancer agents for tumors in which ras contributes to transformation.
Since mutated, oncogenic forms of ras are frequently found in many human cancers, most notably in more than 50 % of colon and pancreatic carcinomas (Kohl et al., Science, vol 260, 1834 - 1837, 1993), it has been suggested that farnesyl tranferase inhibitors can be very useful against these types of cancer. Following further investigations, it has been found that a farnesyl transferase inhibitor is capable of demonstrating antiproliferative effects in vitro and antitumor effects in vivo in a variety of human tumor cell lines with and without ras gene mutations

Anthracychne derivatives are important anti-tumor agents and comprise antibiotics obtained from the fungus Strep, peuticus var. caesius and their derivatives, characterised by having a tetracycline ring structure with an unusual sugar, daunosamine, attached by a glycosidic linkage. Among these compounds, the most widely used include daunorubicin, which has the chemical name 7-(3-amino-2,3,6- trideoxy-L-lyxohexosyloxy)-9-acetyl-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6,9,l l-trihydroxy-4-methoxy- 5,12-naphthacenequinone, doxorubicin, which has the chemical name 10-[(3-amino- 2,3,6-trideoxy-alphaL-lyxohexopyranosyl)oxy]-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-6,8,l l-trihydroxy- 8-(hydroxylacetyl)-l-methoxy-5,12-naphthacenedione, and idarubicin, which has the chemical name 9-acetyl-7-[(3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-alphaL-lyxohexopyranosyl)oxy]- 7,8,9, 10-tetrahydro-6,9, 1 l-trihydroxy-5,12-naphthacenedione. Daunorubicin and idarubicin have been used primarily for the treatment of acute leukaemias whereas doxorubicin displays broader activity against human neoplasms, including a variety of solid tumors particularly breast cancer. However, anthracychne derivatives generally display a serious cardiomyopathy at higher doses, which limits the doses at which these compounds can be administered.
There is therefore a need to increase the inhibitory efficacy of anti-tumor anthracychne derivatives against tumor growth and also to provide a means for the use of lower dosages of anti-tumor anthracychne derivatives to reduce the potential of adverse toxic
side effects to the patient.
It is an object of the invention to provide a therapeutic combination of an anti-tumor anthracychne derivative and a farnesyl transferase inhibitor of the type described above which has an advantageous inhibitory effect against tumor cell growth, in comparison with the respective effects shown by the individual components of the combination.

Preferred anti-tumor anthracychne derivatives for use in accordance with the invention include daunorubicin, doxorubicin and idarubicin referred to above. Daunorubicin is commercially available for example as the hydrochloride salt from Bedford Laboratories under the trade name Cerubidine, and may be prepared for example as described in patent specification No. 4020270, or by processes analogous thereto. Doxorubicin is commercially available for example as the hydrochloride salt from Astra, and may be prepared for example as described in U.S. patent specification No. 3803124 or by processes analogous thereto. Idarubicin is commercially available for example as the hydrochloride salt from Pharmacia & Upjohn under the trade name Idamycin, and may be prepared for example as described in U.S. patent specification No. 4046878 or by processes analogous thereto Other anti-tumor anthracychne derivatives may be prepared in conventional manner for example by processes analogous to those described above for daunorubicin, doxorubicin and idarubicin.
The present invention also relates to combinations according to the invention for use in medical therapy for example for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells.
The present invention also relates to the use of combinations according to the invention for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells.
The present invention also relates to a method of inhibiting the growth of tumor cells in a human subject which comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a combination according to the invention.
This invention further provides a method for inhibiting the abnormal growth of cells, including transformed cells, by administering an effective amount of a combination according to the invention. Abnormal growth of cells refers to cell growth independent of normal regulatory mechanisms (e.g. loss of contact inhibition). This includes the abnormal growth of : (1) tumor cells (tumors) expressing an activated ras oncogene; (2) tumor cells in which the ras protein is activated as a result of oncogenic mutation of another gene; (3) benign and malignant cells of other proliferative diseases in which aberrant ras activation occurs. Furthermore, it has been suggested in literature that ras oncogenes not only contribute to the growth of of tumors in vivo by a direct effect on tumor cell growth but also indirectly, i.e. by facilitating tumor-induced angiogenesis (Rak. J. et al, Cancer Research, 55, 4575-4580, 1995). Hence, pharmacologically targetting mutant ras oncogenes could conceivably suppress solid tumor growth in vivo, in part, by inhibiting tumor-induced angiogenesis.
This invention also provides a method for inhibiting tumor growth by administering an effective amount of a combination according to the present invention, to a subject, e.g. a mammal (and more particularly a human) in need of such treatment. In particular, this invention provides a method for inhibiting the growth of tumors expressing an activated ras oncogene by the administration of an effective amount of combination according to the present invention. Examples of tumors which may be inhibited include, but are not limited to, lung cancer (e.g. adenocarcinoma and including non- small celll lung cancer), pancreatic cancers (e.g. pancreatic carcinoma such as, for example exocrine pancreatic carcinoma), colon cancers (e.g. colorectal carcinomas, such as, for example, colon adenocarcinoma and colon adenoma), hematopoietic tumors of lymphoid lineage (e.g. acute lymphocytic leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma), myeloid leukemias (for example, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)), thyroid follicular cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), tumors of
mesenchymal origin (e.g. fibrosarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas), melanomas, teratocarcinomas, neuroblastomas, gliomas, benign tumor of the skin (e.g. keratoacanthomas), breast carcinoma (e.g. advanced breast cancer), kidney carninoma, ovary carcinoma, bladder carcinoma and epidermal carcinoma.
This invention also provides a method for inhibiting proliferative diseases, both benign and malignant, wherein ras proteins are aberrantly activated as a result of oncogenic mutation in genes, i.e. the ras gene itself is not activated by mutation to an oncogenic mutation to an oncogenic form, with said inhibition being accomplished by the administration of an effective amount of a combination according to the invention, to a subject in need of such a treatment. For example, the benign proliferative disorder neurofibromatosis, or tumors in which ras is activated due to mutation or overexpression of tyrosine kinase oncogenes may be inhibited by the combinations according to the invention.
The anti-tumor anthracychne derivative and the farnesyl transferase inhibitor may be administered simultaneously (e.g. in separate or unitary compositions) or sequentially in either order. In the latter case, the two compounds will be administered within a period and in an amount and manner that is sufficient to ensure that an advantageous or synergistic effect is achieved. It will be appreciated that the preferred method and order of administration and the respective dosage amounts and regimes for each component of the combination will depend on the particular anti-tumor anthracychne derivative and farnesyl transferase inhibitor being administered, their route of administration, the particular tumor being treated and the particular host being treated. The optimum method and order of administration and the dosage amounts and regime can be readily determined by those skilled in the art using conventional methods and in view of the information set out herein.
The farnesyl transferase inhibitor is advantageously administered in an effective amount of from 0.0001 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg body weight, and in particular from 0.001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg body weight. More particularly, for an adult patient, the dosage is conveniently in the range of 50 to 500mg bid, advantageously 100 to 400 mg bid and particularly 300mg bid.
The anti-tumor anthracychne derivative is advantageously administered in a dosage of 10 to 75 mg per square meter (mg/m ) of body surface area, for example 15 to 60 mg/m2, particularly for doxorubicin in a dosage of about 40 to 75 mg/m2, for daunorubicin in a dosage of about 25 to 45mg/m2 , and for idarubicin in a dosage of
about 10 to 15 mg/m2 per course of treatment. These dosages may be administered for example once, twice or more per course of treatment, which may be repeated for example every 7,14,21 or 28 days.
It is especially preferred to administer the farnesyl tranferase inhibitor at a dosage of 100 or 200mg bid for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days with a dosage of the anti-tumor anthracychne derivative in the ranges indicated above.
In view of their useful pharmacological properties, the components of the combinations according to the invention, i.e. the anti-tumor anthracychne derivative and the farnesyl transferase inhibitor may be formulated into various pharmaceutical forms for administration purposes. The components may formulated separately in individual pharmaceutical compositions or in a unitary pharmaceutical composition containing both components. Farnesyl protein transferase inhibitors can be prepared and formulated into pharmaceutical compositions by methods known in the art and in particular according to the methods described in the published patent specifications mentioned herein and incorporated by reference; for the compounds of formulae (I), (II) and (HI) suitable examples can be found in WO-97/21701. Compounds of formulae (IV), (V), and (VI) can be prepared and formulated using methods described in WO 97/16443, compounds of formulae (VII) and (VET) according to methods described in WO 98/40383 and WO 98/49157 and compounds of formula (IX) according to methods described in WO 00/39082 respectively.
The present invention therefore also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an anti-tumor anthracychne derivative and a farnesyl tranferase inhibitor of formula (I) together with one or more pharmaceutical carriers. To prepare pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the invention, an effective amount of a particular compound, in base or acid addition salt form, as the active ingredient is combined in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which carrier may take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration. These pharmaceutical compositions are desirably in unitary dosage form suitable, preferably, for administration orally, rectally, percutaneously, or by parenteral injection. For example, in preparing the compositions in oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media may be employed, such as, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, syrups, elixirs and solutions; or solid carriers such as starches, sugars, kaolin, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of powders, pills, capsules and tablets. Because of their ease in administration,
tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit form, in which case solid pharmaceutical carriers are obviously employed. For parenteral compositions, the carrier will usually comprise sterile water, at least in large part, though other ingredients, to aid solubility for example, may be included. Injectable solutions, for example, may be prepared in which the carrier comprises saline solution, glucose solution or a mixture of saline and glucose solution. Injectable suspensions may also be prepared in which case appropriate liquid carriers, suspending agents and the like may be employed. In the compositions suitable for percutaneous administration, the carrier optionally comprises a penetration enhancing agent and/or a suitable wetting agent, optionally combined with suitable additives of any nature in minor proportions, which additives do not cause a significant deleterious effect to the skin. Said additives may facilitate the administration to the skin and/or may be helpful for preparing the desired compositions. These compositions may be administered in various ways, e.g., as a transdermal patch, as a spot-on, as an ointment.
It is especially advantageous to formulate the aforementioned pharmaceutical compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used in the specification and claims herein refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active ingredient calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. Examples of such dosage unit forms are tablets (including scored or coated tablets), capsules, pills, powder packets, wafers, injectable solutions or suspensions, teaspoonfuls, tablespoonfuls and the like, and segregated multiples thereof.
It may be appropriate to administer the required dose of each component of the combination as two, three, four or more sub-doses at appropriate intervals throughout the course of treatment Said sub-doses may be formulated as unit dosage forms, for example, in each case containing independently 0.01 to 500 mg, for example 0.1 to 200 mg and in particular 1 to lOOmg of each active ingredient per unit dosage form.
Experimental Testing of Combinations for Inhibition of Tumor Growth
The combinations according to the invention may be tested for their efficacy in inhibiting tumor growth using conventional assays described in the literature for example the HTB177 lung carcinoma described by Liu M et al, Cancer Research, Vol. 58, No.21, 1 November 1998, pages 4947-4956, and the anti-mitotic assay described by Moasser M et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 95, pages 1369-1374, February
1998. Other in vitro and in vivo models for determining ant-tumor effects of combinations and possible synergy of the combinations according to the invention are described in WO 98/54966 and WO 98/32114. Clinical models for determining the efficacy and possible synergism for combination therapy in the clinic are generally described in Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, Fifth Edition, edited by Vincent T DeVita, Jr., Samuel Hellman, Steven A. Rosenberg, Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia, 1997, especially Chapter 17, pages 342-346.
