Definitions

• the present invention relates to chemotherapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer wherein retinoic acid receptor (RAR) ligands, in particular ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists or RAR pan antagonists, are administered in combination with tubulin polymerizing agents such as taxanes.
• RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists and RAR pan antagonists are effective anti-cancer agents and exhibit reduced toxicity as compared to RAR pan agonists which also activate RAR ⁇ and natural retinoids such as all trans retinoic acid which activate RAR ⁇ and RXR.
• RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists and RAR pan antagonists act synergistically with tubulin polymerizing agents, particularly taxanes, dramatically lowering the effective dose of taxane required to induce cytotoxicity of a wide range of tumor cell lines. It is believed that the synergy with RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists is related in part to effects on Bcl-2 expression/phosphorylation as well as the activity of the JNK and API. Accordingly, similar synergies with RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists are also expected with other agents which increase phosphorylation of Bcl-2. Background of the Invention
• the retinoids are biologically active derivatives of vitamin A that mediate a wide range of physiologic functions during both embryogenesis and adult life (Vitamin A in Health and Disease. Ed.

• the natural retinoids primarily consist of all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and 9-cis retinoic acid, which are processed from vitamin A through its irreversible oxidation (Vitamin A in Health and Disease. Ed.
• retinoid ligands can regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of a wide variety of both normal and malignant cells (Vitamin A in Health and Disease. Ed. Blomhoff, Institute for Nutrition Research, University of Oslo, Oslo Norway, 1994; Lotan, R. Sem. in Cancer Biol . 1991 2:197-208; Love, J.M. and Gudas , L.J. Curr. Opinion in Cell Biol. 1994 6:825-831; Lotan, R. Faseb J. 1996 10:1031-1039; and Fitzgerald et al . Cancer Res. 1997 57:2642-2650).
• RARs retinoic acid receptors
• RXRs retinoid X receptors
• RAR and RXR are members of the nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) superfa ily and act as ligand-dependent transcription factors, which can modulate target gene expression by binding as RAR/RXR heterodimeric complexes to the specific retinoid response element (RARE) DNA sequence, which consists of direct repeats of the consensus sequences PuG(G/A) (T/A)CA (n) ⁇ _ 5 PuG(G/T)TCA (Gronemeyer, H., and Moras, D. Nature 1995 375:190-191).
• the activity of the RAR/RXR heterodimer can be repressive or stimulatory, depending upon its apo- (unliganded) or holo- (ligand-bound) conformation, respectively.
• the apo-conformation of RAR/RXR heterodimers is a permissive structure allowing protein interaction interfaces to initiate large corepressor multi-protein complex formation including the recruitment of NCOR and histone deacetylases which together maintain the chromatin in a condensed transcriptionally inactive structure to repress target gene expression (Xu et al . Curr. Opinion in Genetic and Development 1999 9:140- 147; Hu, X. and Lazar, M.A. Trends in Endocrin. and Metab. 2000 11:6-10; Robyr et al . Mol. Endocrin. 2000 14:329-347).
• the binding of agonist ligand to RARs is associated with a conformational transition of the ligand binding domain (LBD; Renaud et al . Nature 1995 378:681-689) resulting in the destabilization of the corepressor complex and simultaneous recruitment of coactivators, including pl60 protein family, CBP/p300 and the multiprotein complexes TRAP/DRIP/ARC .
• coactivators including pl60 protein family, CBP/p300 and the multiprotein complexes TRAP/DRIP/ARC .
• Some of these factors contain histone acetyltransferase activity allowing the decondensation of the chromatin required for the subsequent link of the holo-RAR/RXR heterodimer with the basal transcriptional complex to initiate target gene expression (Xu et al. Curr.
• ATRA and synthetic retinoid receptor ligands have been shown to promote tumor regression in a number of animal models of carcinogenesis and have shown efficacy in patients afflicted with acute promyelocytic leukemia (Chomienne et al . Faseb J 1996 10:1025-1030; Fenaux et al . Leukemia 2000 14:1371-1377).
• the RAR agonist, ALRT1550, potent inhibitor of API has also been included in a phase I/II study on a heterogeneous population of 15 patients with advanced cancer, including non-small cell lung, thyroid, kidney, uterine leiomyosarcoma, prostate and adenoid cystic carcinoma (Soignet et al . Proc . Annu . Meet. Am. Soc. Clin. Oncol. 1998 17:A826).
• Cytosine arabinoside in combination with paclitaxel and ATRA was also suggested as a combination chemotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukemia. More recently, ATRA has been shown to sensitize breast cancer cell lines to the cell killing effects of paclitaxel and Adriamycin (Wang et al. Cancer Res. 2000 60:2040-2048).
• ATRA, 13cis retinoic acid, and ALRT1550 are all RAR pan agonists, meaning that they target and activate the ⁇ , ⁇ , and ⁇ RAR isotypes. Further, ATRA is converted in si tu into 9cis-RA which is a pan RAR and RXR agonist.
• RAR ⁇ -2 arises from alternative promoter use of the RAR ⁇ gene promoter P2 (Chambon, P. Sem. In Cell Biol. 1994 5:115-125), which contains a strong RARE suggesting that RAR ⁇ expression is upregulated by retinoic acid and places RAR ⁇ 2 as a potential target gene underlying the growth suppressive effects of retinoic acid. Consistent with a role in modulating cell growth, RAR ⁇ gene inactivation in F9 teratocarcinoma cells results in the loss of retinoic acid dependent growth arrest (Faria et al . J. Biol. Chem.

• RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists and RAR pan antagonists to additively or synergistically effect cell growth when administered in combination with existing chemotherapeutic agents was first assessed in three different human tumor cell lines. Inhibition of cell growth was compared in cells co-treated with paclitaxel and either a RAR pan agonist (see Formula III) , the RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonist of Formula la, an RAR ⁇ agonist (see Formula IV) , an RAR ⁇ agonist (see Formula V) , an RAR ⁇ agonist (see Formula VI) , the RAR pan antagonist of Formula R pan agonist (see Formula VII) .
• the structure III through VII are depicted below:
• the RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonist of Formula la dramatically lowered the effective dose of paclitaxel required to induce cytotoxicity.
• the IC 50 of paclitaxel was decreased by 8-, 15- and 32-fold in MCF7 , 0VCAR3 and SQCC-Yl cells, respectively.
• RAR ⁇ / ⁇ isotypes in the tumor-suppressive activity of the retinoids.
• the RAR pan antagonist of Formula II also lowered the effective dose of paclitaxel required to induce cytotoxicity.
• the pure RAR ⁇ agonist (Formula IV) was associated with only a 2- to 4-fold decrease in the IC 50 of paclitaxel (Table 1) , which is in agreement with its low affinity for RAR ⁇ compared to Formula la.
• efficacy is defined as percent (%) inhibition compared with DMSO .
• All IC 50 ' s are expressed in nanomolar values .
• the results are the mean of 2 to 5 experiments.
• the standard deviation associated with the IC 5 o's ranges between 10 and 20%.
• RAR pan antagonist Treatment of the MCF7 cells with a RAR pan antagonist, Formula II, also strongly impaired colony formation.
• the colonies remained small with two apparent populations of cells, one apoptotic and one in a process of differentiation, showing plasma extension. Further, pre-treatment of these cells for three days with the RAR pan antagonist significantly enhanced the sensitivity of the cells to paclitaxel.
• ATRA also impaired colony formation. However, in contrast to RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists, ATRA-treated colonies exhibited a high level of apoptosis which is believed to reflect the activity of RXR consecutive to the conversion in si tu of ATRA to 9cis-RA.
• the RAR pan antagonist did not effect Bcl-2 protein levels or paclitaxel-induced phosphorylation of Bcl-2, thus indicating that the synergy between tubulin polymerizing agents such as paclitaxel and retinoid antagonists may use a different pathway.
• the combination effect of paclitaxel and RAR ⁇ / ⁇ agonists or RAR pan antagonists on tubulin polymerization was also analyzed. Pools of soluble, non-polymerized tubulin were separated from the insoluble polymerized tubulin pool and analyzed by Western blotting using anti- ⁇ tubulin antibodies. A dose-dependent polymerization of tubulin induced by paclitaxel was observed. However, the selective RAR agonists or antagonists had no effect. Further, the combination of paclitaxel with any of the retinoids did not enhance the effect of paclitaxel alone. Thus, the retinoids do not appear to synergize with paclitaxel 's effects on the cytoskeleton to induce cytotoxicity.
• JNK Jun N-terminal Kinase
• the combination of paclitaxel with RAR ⁇ / ⁇ selective agonists enhances the paclitaxel-effect on the Jun-N-terminal kinase activity which, however, becomes uncoupled from the subsequent API transcriptional activation due to the negative cross- regulation of API induced by the retinoids.
