Definitions

  • the present invention relates to phthalamides, succinimides and related compounds and their use as pharmaceuticals.
  • the present invention relates to the use of these compounds to inhibit DNA methylation in cells, particularly tumour cells.
  • DNA can be methylated through covalent methylation of cytosine residues at their carbon-5 position. It has been found that DNA methylation is an important mechanism of gene regulation, particularly gene silencing. Gene regulation by DNA methylation is an "epigenetic" form of gene regulation, as the DNA sequence information itself remains unaltered.
  • Aberrant DNA methylation patterns are closely associated with epigenetic mutations or epimutations, which can have the same consequences as genetic mutations. For example, many tumours show hypermethylation and concomitant silencing of tumour suppressor genes. Several developmental disorders are also associated with aberrant DNA methylation.
  • DNA methylation reaction is catalyzed by DNA methyl transferases (DNMTs).
  • DNMTs DNA methyl transferases
  • Establishment and maintenance of DNA methylation patterns require the activity of several DNMTs.
  • DNA methylation is established during early embryogenesis by the de novo DNA methyl transferases (DNMT3A and DNMT3B).
  • DNMT1 de novo DNA methyl transferases
  • DNMT1 is therefore also responsible for maintenance of epimutations.
  • DNMTs Genetic inhibition of DNMTs, although theoretically possible (US 6,054,439), suffers from the widely known and currently insurmountable difficulties associated with gene therapy.
  • Pharmacological inhibition of DNMTs has been limited to the use of structural analogues of cytosine, such as 5-azacytidine, 5-aza 2'deoxycytidine (decitabine), and 5,6-dihydro- 5-azacytidine (US 4,058,602; DE 198 23 484 A1).
  • cytosine analogues suffer from low specificity and high toxicity, limiting their use to a very small set of clinical indications.
  • inhibitors of DNA methylation particularly inhibitors of DNMTs.
  • such inhibitors should have a different mode of action than structural analogues of cytidine, and they should be more specific and less toxic than other inhibitors of DNA methylation.
