FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to heterocyclic ring systems derivatives comprising sulfamoyl and other substituents, the preparation of these and uses of such compounds in the treatment of proliferative and other diseases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a family of ubiquitous chaperone proteins that are involved in folding, activation and assembly of a wide range of proteins, such as key proteins involved in signal transduction, cell cycle control and transcriptional regulation.
HSP90 has recently been shown to been implicated in cellular proliferation. For example, HSP90 α and β proteins are associated with important signaling polypeptides associated with cancer (such as steroid hormone receptors and protein kinases, e.g., RaM , EGFR, v-Src family kinases, Cdk4, and ErbB-2 (See, for example, Buchner J.
TIBS 24, 136-141 (1999); Stepanova, L. et al. Genes Dev., 10, 1491-502 (1996); and
Dai, K. et al. J. Biol. Chem., 271, 22030-22034 (1996)). For a review of HSP90 see
Chiosis et al., Drug Discovery Today, Vol. 9, pp. 881-888 (2004).
Certain antibiotics, for example, herbimycin A (HA), geldanamycin (GM), and 17- allylaminogeldanamycin (17- A AG) are believed to exert anticancerous effects by binding to a highly conserved N-terminus ATP binding pocket of HSP90, thereby competing with substrates that would otherwise bind to HSP90 (Stebbins, C. et al. Cell, 89, 239-250 (1997)). In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that occupancy of this N-terminal
pocket by ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors alters HSP90 function and inhibits protein folding. It is also known that HSP90 substrate destabilization occurs in both tumor and non-transformed cells and has been shown to be especially effective on a subset of signaling regulators, e.g., Raf (Schulte, T. W. et al. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1997, 239, 655-9; Schulte, T. W., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1995, 270, 24585-8), nuclear steroid receptors (Segnitz, B.; U. Gehring J. Biol. Chem. 1997, 272, 18694- 18701; Smith, D. F. et al. MoI. Cell. Biol. 1995, 15, 6804-12), v-Src (Whitesell, L., et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1994, 91, 8324-8328) and certain transmembrane tyrosine kinases (Sepp-Lorenzino, L. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1995, 270, 16580-16587) such as EGF receptor (EGFR) and HER2/Neu (Hartmann, F., et al. Int. J. Cancer 1997, 70, 221-9; Miller, P. et al. Cancer Res. 1994, 54, 2724-2730; Mimnaugh, E. G., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1996, 271, 22796-801; Schnur, R. et al. J. Med. Chem. 1995, 38, 3806-3812), CDK4, and mutant p53. Erlichman et al. Proc. AACR 2001, 42, abstract 4474. The ansamycin- induced loss of these proteins leads to the selective disruption of certain regulatory pathways and results in growth arrest at specific phases of the cell cycle (Muise- Heimericks, R. C. et al. J. Biol. Chem. 1998, 273, 29864-72), and apoptosis, and/or differentiation of cells so treated (Vasilevskaya, A. et al. Cancer Res., 1999, 59, 3935- 40). Ansamycins thus hold great promise for the treatment and/or prevention of many types of cancers and proliferative disorders, and also hold promise as traditional antibiotics. However, their relative insolubility makes them difficult to formulate and administer, they are not easily synthesized and currently must, at least in part, be generated through fermentation and are severly limited in dosing by their toxicity.
HSP90 inhibitors have also been implicated in other functions, including use as anti-inflammation agents, anti-infectious disease agents, agents for treating autoimmunity, agents for treating stroke, ischemia, multiple sclerosis, cardiac disorders, central nervous system related disorders and agents useful in promoting nerve regeneration (See, e.g., Rosen et al. WO 02/09696 (PCT/US01/23640); Degranco et al. WO 99/51223 (PCT/US99/07242); Gold, U.S. Pat. No. 6,210,974 B1; DeFranco et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,174,875. Overlapping somewhat with the above, there are reports in the literature that fibrogenetic disorders including but not limited to scleroderma, polymyositis, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, liver cirrhosis, keloid formation, interstitial nephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis also may be treatable with HSP90 inhibitors. Strehlow, WO 02/02123 (PCT/US01/20578). Still further HSP90 modulation, modulators
and uses thereof are reported in Application Nos. PCT/US03/04283, PC77US02/35938, PCT/US02/16287, PCT/US02/06518, PCT/US98/09805, PCT/USOO/09512. PCT/US01/09512, PCT/US01/23640, PCT/US01 /46303, PCT/US01/46304, PCT/US02/06518, PCT/US02/29715, PCT/US02/35069, PCT/US02/35938, PCT/US02/39993, 60/293,246, 60/371,668, 60/335,391, 60/128,593, 60/337,919, 60/340,762, 60/359,484 and 60/331,893.
Recently, purine derivatives showing moderate HSP90 inhibitory activity have been reported, e.g., in PCT/US02/35069; PCT/US02/36075. Purine moieties are well accepted bioisosteres for a variety of ATP-dependent molecular targets, see, JP 10025294; U.S. Pat. No. 4,748,177; U.S. Pat. No. 4,772,606; U.S. Pat. No. 6,369,092; Chiosis and Rosen, U.S. Pub. 2004/0102458, Kasibhatla et a!., U.S. Pub. 2005/0049263, WO 00/06573; WO 02/055521; WO 02/055082; WO 02/055083; European Patent 0178178; Eur. J. Med. Chem. 1994, 29(1), 3-9; and J. Het. Chem. 1990, 27(5), 1409. In addition, adenine derivatives with activity against HSP90 have been reported. (See Chiosis et at, WO 2006/084030) However, there remains a need for novel and potent HSP90 inhibitors that meet the demanding biological and pharmaceutical criteria required to justify the time and expense of human clinical trials.

DEFINITIONS
Before describing the present invention in detail, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to specific compositions or process steps, as such may vary. It should be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular form "a", "an" and "the" include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a compound" includes a plurality of compounds. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention is related. The following terms are defined for purposes of the invention as described herein.
"Acyl" or "carbonyl" is a radical formed by removal of the hydroxy from a carboxylic acid (i.e., R-C(=O)-). Preferred acyl groups include (for example) acetyl, formyl, and propionyl. The term "carbon chain" embraces any alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, or heteroalkynyl group, which are linear, cyclic, or any combination thereof. If the chain is part of a linker and that linker comprises one or more rings as part of the core backbone, for purposes of calculating chain length, the "chain" only includes those carbon atoms that compose the bottom or top of a given ring and not both, and where the top and bottom of the ring(s) are not equivalent in length, the shorter distance shall be used in determining the chain length. If the chain contains heteroatoms as part of the backbone, those atoms are not calculated as part of the carbon chain length.
"Alkyl" means a saturated hydrocarbon chain having 1 to 15 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 10, more preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Used alone or in combination, it refers to an optionally substituted straight-chain, or optionally substituted branched-chain saturated hydrocarbon radical having from one to about thirty carbons, more preferably one to twelve carbons. Non-limiting examples of alkyl radicals include methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, tert-amyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl and the like.
The term "alkenyl," or "alkene" alone or in combination, refers to an optionally substituted straight-chain, or optionally substituted branched-chain hydrocarbon radical having one or more carbon-carbon double-bonds and having from two to about thirty carbon atoms, more preferably two to about eighteen carbons.

Alkyl, alkβne and alkyne chains (referred to collectively as "hydrocarbon chains") may be straight or branched and may be unsubstituted or substituted. Preferred branched alkyl, alkene and alkyne chains have one or two branches, preferably one branch. Preferred chains are alkyl. Alkyl, alkene and alkyne hydrocarbon chains each may be unsubstituted or substituted with from 1 to 4 substituents; when substituted, preferred chains are mono-, di-, or tri-substituted. Alkyl, alkene and alkyne hydrocarbon chains each may be substituted with halo, hydroxy, aryloxy (e.g., phenoxy), heteroaryloxy, acyloxy (e.g., acetoxy), carboxy, aryl (e.g., phenyl), heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, spirocycle, amino, amido, acylamino, keto, thioketo, cyano, or any combination thereof.

'Treating" or "treatment" of a disease refers to 1) preventing the disease from occurring in a subject that is predisposed or does not yet display symptoms of the disease; 2) inhibiting the disease or arresting its development; or 3) ameliorating or causing regression of the disease. A "pharmacological composition" refers to a mixture of one or more of the compounds described herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, with other chemical components, such as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and/or excipients. The purpose of a pharmacological composition is to facilitate administration of a compound to an organism. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" as used herein means a pharmaceutically-acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol; (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; (13) agar; (14) buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; (15) alginic acid; (16) pyrogen-free water; (17) isotonic saline; (18) Ringer's solution; (19) ethyl alcohol; (20) phosphate buffer solutions; and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations. A physiologically acceptable carrier should not cause significant irritation to an organism and does not abrogate the biological activity and properties of the administered compound. An "excipient" refers to an inert substance added to a pharmacological composition to further facilitate administration of a compound. Examples of excipients include but are not limited to calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars and types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils and polyethylene glycols.
A "pharmaceutically effective amount" means an amount which is capable of providing a therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect. The specific dose of compound administered according to this invention to obtain therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect will, of course, be determined by the particular circumstances surrounding the case, including, for example, the specific compound administered, the route of administration, the condition being treated, and the individual being treated. A typical daily dose (administered in single or divided doses) will contain a dosage level of from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50-100 mg/kg of body weight of an active compound of the invention. Preferred daily doses generally will be from about 0.05 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg and ideally from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg. Factors such as clearance rate, half-life and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) have yet to be determined but one of ordinary skill in the art can determine these using standard procedures.
In some method embodiments, the preferred therapeutic effect is the inhibition, to some extent, of the growth of cells characteristic of a proliferative disorder, e.g., breast cancer. A therapeutic effect will also normally, but need not, relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms other than cell growth or size of cell mass. A therapeutic effect may include, for example, one or more of 1) a reduction in the number of cells; 2) a reduction in cell size; 3) inhibition (i.e., slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) of cell infiltration into peripheral organs, e.g., in the instance of cancer metastasis; 3) inhibition (i.e., slowing to some extent, preferably stopping) of tumor metastasis; 4) inhibition, to some extent, of cell growth; and/or 5) relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the disorder.
As used herein, the term "IC50" refers to an amount, concentration or dosage of a particular test compound that achieves a 50% inhibition of a maximal response in an assay that measures such response. In some method embodiments of the invention, the "IC50" value of a compound of the invention can be greater for normal cells than for cells exhibiting a proliferative disorder, e.g., breast cancer cells. The value depends on the assay used.
By a "standard" is meant a positive or negative control. A negative control in the context of HER2 expression levels is, e.g., a sample possessing an amount of HER2 protein that correlates with a normal cell. A negative control may also include a sample that contains no HER2 protein. By contrast, a positive control does contain HER2 protein, preferably of an amount that correlates with overexpression as found in proliferative disorders, e.g., breast cancers. The controls may be from cell or tissue
samples, or else contain purified ligand (or absent ligand), immobilized or otherwise. In some embodiments, one or more of the controls may be in the form of a diagnostic "dipstick."
By "selectively targeting" is meant affecting one type of cell to a greater extent than another, e.g., in the case of cells with high as opposed to relatively low or normal HER2 levels.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Compounds of the invention and their polymorphs, solvates, esters, tautomers, diastereomers, enantiomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs show utility for inhibiting HSP90 and treating and/or preventing diseases that are HSP90-dependent.
The compound 2-chloro-5'-sulfamoyladenosine (CSA) has been shown to be an antibiotic but has been found toxic to mice and to inhibit protein synthesis (see, for example, Takahashi and Bepu, J. Antibiotics, 35, 939-947 (1982)) It was already known that 5'-sulfamoyladenosine inhibited protein synthesis. (See Bloch and Coutsogeogopolous, Biochemistry, 10, 4394-4398 (1971). For these reasons, it has not proven to be a useful drug.
In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that CSA also inhibits HSP90. This compound is notable for its sulfamoyl group on the 5'-position of the ribosyl moiety of the adenosine molecule and the presence of a chlorine atom at the 2- position of adenine.

SYNTHETIC PROCEDURES
A. General Procedures for the synthesis of sulfamates (0-SO2-N), sulfamides (N- SOrN) and N-substituted sulfamic acids (N-SOrOH)
In general, primary/secondary/tertiary alcohols and primary/secondary amines are converted to the corresponding sulfamates (O-SOrN), sulfamides (N-SO2-N) and N- substituted sulfamic acids (N-SO2-OH) by employing methods reported in:
1. Medicinal Chemistry Reviews, Vol. 25, No. 2, 4731-4735 or Tetrahedron 60 (2004) 2187-2190 or J. Med. Chem. 2006, 49, 31-34 (Synthesis procedures for sulfamates and derivatives).
2. Tetrahedron Letters 46, (2005) 4731-4735 (Synthesis of cyclic sulfamates employing i.e. metal catalysts)
3. Organic Letters 2001, Vol. 3, No. 14, 2241-2243 (N-(tert-Butyloxycarbonyl)-N-[4- (dimethylazaniumylidene)-1,4-dihydropyridine-1-ylsulfonyl]azanide for sulfamoylation of amines under very mild conditions to give sulfamide derivatives after deprotection).
4. Synlett 2005, No.5, 834-836 (Synthesis of cyclic sulfamides).
5. Journal of Organic Chemistry, 57(4), 1252-8; 1992 (Synthesis of N-substitυted sulfamic acids (N-SOrOH) employing i.e. CISO3H)
The corresponding amines and alcohols for derivatization are obtained employing routine reactions for functional group derivatization. Reduction of, e.g., nitriles, ketones, esters, amides and the like, or hydrolysis of, e.g., alkylhalides or esters results in formation of a hydroxy or amino group on the substituent, such as Z. These dehvatizations can also be conducted prior to the attachment of said substituent, such as Z1 to the core structure of the general formula.

Derivatizations may require protection and deprotection steps of functional groups not intended for derivatization as commonly conducted by someone skilled in the art.
The invention also includes compounds of the following Formula:
wherein M is selected from S1 SO, SO2, O, NH1 CH2 and CF2. In other examples of this structure, the indicated substituents are as in Table 2.
In each of the compounds in Table 2 that already contain an alcohol or amine functional group at Z, the group at Z is readily converted to a sulfamoyl derivative by reaction of either the hydroxy or amino group on Z with sulfamoyl chloride to form the corresponding sulfamoyl derivative. The resulting sulfamoyl derivatives containing a -NSO2N or - NSO2OH Or-OSO2N structural element are compounds of the invention.
Table 2.
wherein M is selected from S1 SO, SO2, O1 NH1 CH2 and CF2. In other examples of this structure, the indicated substituents are as in Table 3.
Table 3 shows derivatives of the above formula that can be prepared as sulfamoyl derivatives by first derivatizing the group at Z so as to form a group reactive with sulfamoyl chloride. Reduction of, e.g., nitriles, ketones, esters, amides or hydrolysis of i.e. alkylhalides, esters results in the formation of hydroxy or amino group on Z. These derivatizations can also be conducted prior to the attachment of Z to the core structure of Formula A. The resulting sulfamoyl derivatives containing a -NSO2N or -NSO2OH or - OSO2N structural element are compounds of the invention.
Table 3.
Tables 4 to 13 show structures of precursors of the indicated formula that are readily converted to sulfamoyl derivatives of the Z radical shown in the table. Literature descriptions for synthesis of these precursors are also indicated in the table. The resulting sulfamoyl derivatives containing a -NSO2N or -NSO2OH or -OSO2N structural element are compounds of the invention.

For example, a disorder such as inflammatory diseases, infections, autoimmune disorders, stroke, ischemia, cardiac disorders, neurological disorders, fibrogenetic disorders, proliferative disorders, tumors, leukemias, neoplasms, cancers, carcinomas, metabolic diseases, and malignant disease. The fibrogenetic disorders include but are not limited to scleroderma, polymyositis, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, liver cirrhosis, keloid formation, interstitial nephritis and pulmonary fibrosis.
The present invention features pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds at the experimental part and at Formulas A1 to A4, or a polymorph, solvate, ester, tautomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or prodrug thereof, of any of the preceding aspect and embodiments and one or more pharmaceutical excipients.
Those of ordinary skill in the art are familiar with formulation and administration techniques that can be employed with the compounds and methods of the invention, e.g., as discussed in Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current ed.; Pergamon; and Remington's, Pharmaceutical Sciences (current edition), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.

The compounds utilized in the methods of the instant invention may be administered either alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients or diluents, in a pharmaceutical composition, according to standard pharmaceutical practice. The compounds can be administered orally or parenterally, including the intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, rectal and topical routes of administration.
For example, the therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be administered locally to the area in need of treatment This may be achieved by, for example, but not limited to, local infusion during surgery, topical application, e.g., cream, ointment, injection, catheter, or implant, said implant made, e.g., out of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers. The administration can also be by direct injection at the site (or former site) of a tumor or neoplastic or pre-neoplastic tissue.
Still further, the compounds or compositions of the invention can be delivered in a vesicle, e.g., a liposome (see, for example, Langer, Science 1990, 249, 1527-1533; Treat et al., Liposomes in the Therapy of Infectious Disease and Cancer, Lopez- Bernstein and Fidler, Ed., Liss, N.Y., pp. 353-365, 1989).
The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions used in the methods of the present invention can also be delivered in a controlled release system. In one embodiment, a pump may be used (see, Sefton, 1987; CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng.
14:201; Buchwald et al. Surgery, 1980 88, 507; Saudek et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 1989,
321, (574). Additionally, a controlled release system can be placed in proximity of the therapeutic target. (See, Goodson, Medical Applications of Controlled Release. 1984, Vol. 2, pp. 115-138).
The pharmaceutical compositions used in the methods of the instant invention can also contain the active ingredient in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions, and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as microcrystalline cellulose, sodium
crosscarmellose, cornstarch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example, magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be un-coated or coated by known techniques to mask the taste of the drug or delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a water soluble taste masking material such as hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose, or a time delay material such as ethyl cellulose, or cellulose acetate butyrate may be employed as appropriate.
Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water soluble carrier such as polyethyleneglycol or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions contain the active material in admixture with exάpients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxyethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethylene-oxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose, saccharin or aspartame.
Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for
example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisol or alpha-tocopherol.
Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions used in the methods of the instant invention may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally- occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening agents, flavoring agents, preservatives and antioxidants.
Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain a demulcent, a preservative, flavoring and coloring agents and antioxidant.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous solution. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution.
The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable oil-in-water microemulsion where the active ingredient is dissolved in the oily phase. For example, the active ingredient may, be first dissolved in a mixture of soybean oil and lecithin. The
oil solution then introduced into a water and glycerol mixture and processed to form a microemulsion.
The injectable solutions or microemulsions may be introduced into a patient's blood-stream by local bolus injection. Alternatively, it may be advantageous to administer the solution or microemulsion in such a way as to maintain a constant circulating concentration of the instant compound. In order to maintain such a constant concentration, a continuous intravenous delivery device may be utilized. An example of such a device is the Deltec CADD-PLUS.TM. model 5400 intravenous pump.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension for intramuscular and subcutaneous administration. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1 ,3- butane diol. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
The compounds of the present invention used in the methods of the present invention may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the inhibitors with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol.
For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing a compound or composition of the invention can be used. As used herein, topical application can include mouth washes and gargles.
The compounds used in the methods of the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles and delivery devices, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen.
The methods, compounds and compositions of the instant invention may also be used in conjunction with other well known therapeutic agents that are selected for their particular usefulness against the condition that is being treated. For example, the instant compounds may be useful in combination with known anti-cancer and cytotoxic agents.
Further, the instant methods and compounds may also be useful in combination with other inhibitors of parts of the signaling pathway that links cell surface growth factor receptors to nuclear signals initiating cellular proliferation.
The methods of the present invention may also be useful with other agents that inhibit angiogenesis and thereby inhibit the growth and invasiveness of tumor cells, including, but not limited to VEGF receptor inhibitors, including ribozymes and antisense targeted to VEGF receptors, angiostatin and endostatin.
Examples of antineoplastic agents that can be used in combination with the compounds and methods of the present invention include, in general, and as appropriate, alkylating agents, anti-metabolites, epidophyllotoxins, an antineoplastic enzyme, a topoisomerase inhibitor, procarbazine, mitoxantrone, platinum coordination complexes, biological response modifiers and growth inhibitors, hormonal/anti-hormonal therapeutic agents and haematopoietic growth factors. Exemplary classes of antineoplastic include the anthracyclines, vinca drugs, mitomycins, bleomycins, cytotoxic nucleosides, epothilones, discodermolide, pteridines, diynenes and podophyllotoxins. Particularly useful members of those classes include, for example, carminomycin, daunorubicin, aminopterin, methotrexate, methopterin, dichloromethotrβxate, mitomycin C, porfiromycin, 5-fluorouracil, 6-mercaptopurine, gemcitabine, cytosine arabinoside, podophyllotoxin or podo-phyllotoxin derivatives such as etoposide, etoposide phosphate or teniposide, melphalan, vinblastine, vincristine, leurosidine, vindesine, leurosine,
paclitaxel and the like. Other useful antineoplastic agents include estramustine, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, bleomycin, gemcitibine, ifosamide, melphalan, hexamethyl melamine, thiotepa, cytarabin, idatrexate, trimetrexate, dacarbazine, L- asparaginase, camptothecin, CPT-11, topotecan, ara-C, bicalutamide, flutamide, leuprolide, pyridobenzoindole derivatives, interferons and interleukins.
When a compound or composition of the invention is administered into a human subject, the daily dosage will normally be determined by the prescribing physician with the dosage generally varying according to the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, as well as the severity of the patient's symptoms.
In one application, a suitable amount of compound is administered to a mammal undergoing treatment for cancer, for example, breast cancer. Administration typically occurs in an amount of between about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day (administered in single or divided doses), more preferably at least about 0.1 mg/kg of body weight per day. A particular therapeutic dosage can include, e.g., from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg of compound, and preferably includes, e.g., from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg. The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 0.1 mg to 1000 mg, preferably from about 1 mg to 300 mg, more preferably 10 mg to 200 mg, according to the particular application. The amount administered will vary depending on the particular IC50 value of the compound used and the judgment of the attending clinician taking into consideration factors such as health, weight, and age. In combinational applications in which the compound is not the sole active ingredient, it may be possible to administer lesser amounts of compound and still have therapeutic or prophylactic effect.
Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component, e.g., an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose.
The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, in determining the optimum dosage, a clinician may generally begin with smaller dosages that are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small amounts until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience,
the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds and compositions of the present invention used in the methods of the present invention, and if applicable other chemotherapeutic agents and/or radiation therapy, will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician (physician) considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the disease being treated.
The chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy can be administered according to therapeutic protocols well known in the art. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy can be varied depending on the disease being treated and the known effects of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation therapy on that disease. Also, in accordance with the knowledge of the skilled clinician, the therapeutic protocols (e.g., dosage amounts and times of administration) can be varied in view of the observed effects of the administered therapeutic agents (i.e., antineoplastic agent or radiation) on the patient, and in view of the observed responses of the disease to the administered therapeutic agents.
Also, in general, the compounds of the invention need not be administered in the same pharmaceutical composition as another chemotherapeutic agent, and may, because of different physical and chemical characteristics, be administered by a different route. For example, the compounds/compositions may be administered orally to generate and maintain good blood levels thereof, while another chemotherapeutic agent may be administered intravenously. The determination of the mode of administration and the advisability of administration, where possible, in the same pharmaceutical composition, is well within the knowledge of the skilled clinician. The initial administration can be made according to established protocols known in the art, and then, based upon the observed effects, the dosage, modes of administration and times-of administration can be modified by the skilled clinician.
The particular choice of compound (and where appropriate, chemotherapeutic
agent and/or radiation) will depend upon the diagnosis of the attending physicians and their judgment of the condition of the patient and the appropriate treatment protocol.
The compounds/compositions of the invention (and where appropriate chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation) may be administered concurrently (e.g., simultaneously, essentially simultaneously or within the same treatment protocol) or sequentially, depending upon the nature of the proliferative disease, the condition of the patient, and the actual choice of chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation to be administered in conjunction (i.e., within a single treatment protocol) with the compound/composition.
In combinational applications and uses, the compound/composition and the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation need not be administered simultaneously or essentially simultaneously, and the initial order of administration of the compound/composition, and the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation, may not be important. Thus, the compounds/compositions of the invention may be administered first followed by the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation; or the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation may be administered first followed by the administration of the compounds/compositions of the invention. This alternate administration may be repeated during a single treatment protocol. The determination of the order of administration, and the number of repetitions of administration of each therapeutic agent during a treatment protocol, is well within the knowledge of the skilled physician after evaluation of the disease being treated and the condition of the patient. For example, the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation may be administered first, especially if it is a cytotoxic agent, and then the treatment continued with the administration of the compounds/compositions of the invention followed, where determined advantageous, by the administration of the chemotherapeutic agent and/or radiation, and so on until the treatment protocol is complete.
Thus, in accordance with experience and knowledge, the practicing physician can modify each protocol for the administration of a compound/composition for treatment according to the individual patient's needs, as the treatment proceeds.
The attending clinician, in judging whether treatment is effective at the dosage
administered, will consider the general well-being of the patient as well as more definite signs such as relief of disease-related symptoms, inhibition of tumor growth, actual shrinkage of the tumor, or inhibition of metastasis. Size of the tumor can be measured by standard methods such as radiological studies, e.g., CAT or MRI scan, and successive measurements can be used to judge whether or not growth of the tumor has been retarded or even reversed. Relief of disease-related symptoms such as pain, and improvement in overall condition can also be used to help judge effectiveness of treatment.
The present invention also encompasses compositions comprising any one or more of the compounds of the invention in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Compositions comprising any one or more of the compounds of Tables 1 to 13 are specific examples of such compositions. Such compositions may comprise additional agents, such as additional therapeutic agents, for example, antineoplastic agents, such as one or more of those selected selected from the group of a radioisotope, an antibody, a recombinant protein, Herceptin, taxol, taxane, gleevac, an alkylating agent, anti-metabolite, epidophyllotoxin, an antineoplastic enzyme, a topoisomerase inhibitor, procarbazine, mitoxantrone, a platinum coordination complex, a growth inhibitor, a hormonal therapeutic agent, an anti-hormonal therapeutic agent, a haematopoietic growth factor, an anthracycline drug, a vinca drug, a mitomycin, a bleomycin, a cytotoxic nucleoside, a tepothilone, a discodermolide, a pteridine drug, a diynesne, a podophyllotoxin, carminomycin, daunorubicin, an aminopterin, methotrexate, methopterin, dichloromethotrexate, mitomycin C, porfiromycin, 5-fluorouracil, 6- mercaptopurine, gβmcitabine, cytosine arabinoside, podophyllotoxin, a podo-phyllotoxin, etoposide, etoposide phosphate, teniposide, melphalan, vinblastine, vincristine, leurosidine, vindesine, leurosine, paclitaxel, estramustine, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, bleomycin, gemcitibine, ifosamide, melphalan, hexamethyl melamine, thiotepa, cytarabin, idatrexate, trimetrexate, dacarbazine, L-asparaginase, camptothecin, CPT-11, topotecan, ara-C, bicalutamide, flutamide, leuprolide, a pyrodobenzoindole, an interferon and an interieukin.
The present invention also relates to a method of inhibiting an HSP90 protein comprising contacting a cell having or expressing an HSP90 protein with a compound according to the invention or any of the compositions of the invention. In one example,
the cell is a mammalian cell, such as a human cell. In another such example, the method comprises some form of chemotherapy, which may be utilized in combination with other therapies, including radiation treatment and surgery. Such chemotherapy is for example directed against breast cancer cells and melanoma cells. Administration of any of the compounds, or compositions of said compounds, of the invention may be oral administration, or may be topical administration, or may be parenteral administration.
The present invention also relates to a method for treating an individual having a disease or condition selected from the group of inflammation, an infectious disease, an autoimmune disease, ischemia, a fibrogenetic disorder and nerve degeneration comprising administering to said individual a compound, or pharmaceutical composition, of the invention. Administration of any of the compounds, or compositions of said compounds, of the invention may be oral administration, or may be topical administration, or may be parenteral administration.
In specific examples of such treatment, the cancer over-expresses Her2 or steroid receptors. In other examples, the cancer is one that lacks functional retinoblastoma protein. In yet additional examples, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, amyelocytic leukemia, vulvar cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, colorectal cancer, neuroblastoma and prostate cancer. The later is not an exclusive list of cancers that can be treated by the method.
Hsp90 CE Competitive Binding Assay:
Materials a) Hsp90α Protein, 10.9μM (Assay Designs / Stressgen)
The stock concentration of protein varies from batch-to-batch. The above is given as a typical example. b) "Competitor", fluorescein-labelled geldanamycin The competitor was synthesized as described by Llauger-Bufi ef a/, Bioorg.
Med. Chem. Lett., (2003), 13(22), 3975-3978. c) Bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma) d) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Fluka) e) CAPSO and Trizma Base (Sigma)
f) Dithiothreitol (DTT) (Sigma) g) Magnesium chloride (MgCI2) (Sigma) h) Triton X-100 (Sigma) i) Glacial acetic acid (JT Baker) j) 17-AAG (Invivogen)
The electrophoresis running buffer (RB) is comprised of 20OmM CAPSO, pH 9.2 (pH- adjusted with Trizma base). The sample buffer (SB) is comprised of 1OmM Trizma base, pH 8.0 (pH-adjusted with glacial acetic acid), 5mM MgCI2, 5mM DTT, and BSA and Triton as noted.
Apparatus
Capillary electrophoresis was performed on Cetek Gemini Systems™ using laser- induced fluorescence detection. Fused-silica capillaries (50μm I. D. x 30cm, approximately 10cm length from end to detection window) were internally coated using Cetek's proprietary methods. LIF detection is performed using an argon laser for excitation (wavelength, 488nm) and monitoring fluorescent emissions at 520nm.
Methods Hsp90α protein is diluted in SB containing 0.25mg/ml BSA and 0.005% Triton to yield a "Target Cocktail" at an Hsp90 concentration of 42nM. A "Competitor Cocktail" is prepared containing 22OnM Competitor in a solution of SB, 0.01mg/ml BSA, and 0.02% Triton.
Each sample (i.e., fermentation extract, partially-purified fraction, or compound mixture, or pure compound) to be assayed is prediluted 1:20 or 1:40 in SB containing 0.02% Triton. 1μl of each prediluted sample is then deposited into a 96- well microtiter plate and mixed with 8μl of Target Cocktail. These samples can be stored at 4°C until ready for assay.
When ready for analysis, the plates are transferred to the deck of a Gemini System. To each mixture of sample and target, 1μl of Competitor Cocktail is added and mixed thoroughly. This reaction mixture is allowed to incubate for 8 minutes on the refrigerated deck of the Gemini System (temperature 80C). During incubation, the CE capillary is
rinsed for 30 seconds with RB containing 2mg/ml BSA, and then 60 seconds with RB. At the end of incubation, a small plug of the reaction mixture is then injected into the capillary at low pressure (0.5 psi) for 7 seconds. The loaded capillary is then dipped into reservoirs containing RB and the sample is electrophoresed at 1OkV for 6 minutes at a temperature of 8*C.
The electrophoretic separation produces a graphical profile known as an "electropherogram," which contains a peak representing the intact complex between Hsp90 and competitor, and a smaller series (typically, a triplet) of peaks representing unbound competitor. Ratiometric analysis of peak areas and/or heights of these two regions in the electropherogram is correlated to the amount of ligand displacement caused by an active component or compound, thus enabling the detection of "hits". Dose-response experiments, which evaluate the degree of competitor displacement as a function of sample concentration, are subsequently run in triplicate to validate hits and to quantitate their potencies, which are expressed as ICso values.
To test the assay prior to operation, control samples are run to confirm proper performance. Negative controls are comprised of 0.5% DMSO, and positive controls are comprised of 0.1μg/ml 17-AAG.
The ability of selected compounds of the invention to inhibit the binding of labeled geldanamycin to Hsp90 based on this assay is summarized in Table 14. ICso is defined as the concentration at which 50% inhibition is observed.
Luciferase Refolding Assay Reagents:
A. Cancer cells are cultured according to ATCC guidelines. Cell lysates are prepared as follows to be used as source of heat shock proteins: Resuspend the washed cell pellet in 3-10 packed cell volumes of Buffer A (10 mM HEPES pH
7.9, 1.5 mM MgCI2, 10 mM KCI, 0.5 mM DTT1 and 0.2 mM PMSF). Spin at 2000 rpm for 5 minutes in GS-6R (Beckman) centrifuge, 40C and resuspend cells in
Buffer A up to a final of 3 packed cell volumes (i.e., add ~2 volumes) . Incubate on ice for 10 minutes. Transfer the cells to a Wheaton A Dounce homogenizer
and lyse with 10-25 strokes. Stain an aliquot with Trypan Blue and check for >90% lysis under microsope. Spin the homogenized mixture at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes in GS-6R (Beckman) centrifuge, 40C1 to pellet nuclei. To the cytoplasmic fraction (cell lysate), add 1 mM ATP1 14.3 mM creatine phosphate, 71 μg/ml phosphokinase, 3 mM DTT, 113 mM KAc, and 0.7 mM MgAc2. Aliquot into eppendorf tubes and freeze at -800C.
B. Luciferase Stability Buffer (SB): 25 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.8; 8 mM MgSO4; 0.1 mM EDTA; 10 mg/ml BSA; 10% Glycerol; 0.25% Triton X-100. Make 2xSB and store at -200C. C. Cell Lysate (CL) Buffer: Buffer A containing 1 mM ATP; 14.3 mM creatine phosphate; 71 ug/ml phosphokinase; 3 mM DTT; 113 mM KAc; and 0.7 mM MgAc∑.
D. Luciferase: Promega E1701, 14.9 mg/ml = 244 μM. Dilute 1:60 in 30 mM Tris- HCI, pH 7.4, 2 mM DTT, and 20% glycerol, resulting in a stock luciferase solution with concentration of 4 μ M (250 ng/ μ I).
E. Luciferase substrate: Promega E1500.
Procedure:
1) Mix luciferase solution 1:1 with 2x SB buffer. Incubate at 420C for 8 min to denature. After denaturation, leave the Luciferase on ice for 5 min to stabilize.
2) Assemble 100 μ I refolding reactions: 68 μl CL buffer, 20 μ I cell lysate or CL buffer as control, 2 μl Hsp90 inhibitor or DMSO (vehicle control), and 10 μ I denatured Luciferase.
3) Incubate the above reactions at room temperature for 30 min. 4) Take 5 μl of a refolding reaction, mix with 30 μ I luciferase substrate, and measure luminescence immediately with BIO-TEK Synergy HT (S=110).
Data analysis: Luciferase refolding activity of a cell lysate sample with or without HSP90 inhibitor is represented as the net of luminescence reading from a cell lysate sample subtracting results from negative control (no cell lysate or heat shock proteins). Inhibition effect of a compound is calculated as the percentage of refolding activity relative to samples without any inhibitors in the cell lysate. EC50 is determined as the compound concentration required for inhibiting 50% of luciferase refolding activity of a controlling cell lysate.
The ability of selected compounds of the invention to inhibit luciferase refolding by HspθO based on this assay is summarized in Table 14. IC50 is defined as the concentration at which 50% inhibition is observed.

SK-OV-3 cells were obtained from ATCC {Rockville, MD) and maintained in McCoy's 5A Media with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (ATCC) at 370C with 5% CO2 in humidified incubators. Cells were plated at 2 ml per well at 100,000 cells/ml in six well dishes. Cells were incubated overnight at 370C and given test agent compound the following day in a titrated series. Cell incubation in the presence of compound proceeded overnight at 37o with 5% CO2 in media in the presence of serum. The following day media was aspirated and cells washed on plate with 2 mis of cold D-PBS. 100 ul of 1X Laemli's buffer was added to each well and total protein obtained by scraping the cell pellet and removing to 1.5 ml Eppendorf tube on ice. Cells were further lysed and DNA was fragmented by sonication and cells debris pelleted at 14K for 3 min at 4°C. 20 ul was loaded per well and fractionated on PAGE gels. Western analyses were performed using abs specifically for the Hsp90 client proteins HER-2 (Santa Cruz Biotech, Santa Cruz, CA) and c-raf-1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA). Loading per well was controlled by testing for g-actin on Western Blots (Cell Signaling Technology) simultaneous to testing for HER-2 or c-raf-1. Detection was via a secondary antibody conjugated to Horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and enhanced chemiluminescent detection from Supersignal West Pico Detection Kits from Pierce (Rockford, IL). Autoradiography was via Kodak X-OMAT film and developing via a Kodak M35 film processor.
The HER2 degradation ability of selected compounds of the invention based on this assay is summarized in Table 14. IC50 is defined as the concentration at which 50% degradation of the HER2/Neu protein is observed.
Cancer-Derived Cell Line Growth lnhibiton Assays
Human cancer cell lines were obtained from ATCC (Rockville, MD) and maintained according to their media specifications at 370C in humidified incubators with or without 5% CO2. Cells were plated at 0.1 ml/well of 50,000 cells per ml in 96 well plates. Monolayer grown cells were incubated overnight prior to the addition of compound while cells grown in suspension are given compound on the same day as plating. The test agent is titrated in duplicate for each compound and concentration tested. Cells are incubated in the presence of compound at 370C in humidified incubators for 3 days prior to addition of 20 ul of Cell Titer Blue (Promega, Madison, Wl) which quantifies total cellular metabolic activity by conversion of resazurin to resorufin.
10 Cell titer blue measures metabolic activity by quantifying the amount of biological activity present in a well using reduction of the dye resazurin as an end-point metric. Cells then are allowed to incubate at 370C for 2 hours and then analyzed using a Bio-TEK (Winooski, VT) Synergy HT 96/384 well plate reader set for 530 nm/ 590 nm, Ex/Em. Data analysis and depiction is conducted using EXCEL.

Hsp90alpha and BQDIPY-Geldanamycin Fluorescent Polarization Binding Assay
Materials
10 • HSP90alpha protein (Stressgen SPP-776) and BODIPY Labeled Geldanamycin
(GA) was added to assay buffer stock (stored at 4C): 2OmM Hepes pH 7.3, 5OmM KCI, 2OmM NaMoO4, 0.01% NP40
• Working Assay buffer: assay buffer stock @RT with freshly added 2mM DTT and 0.1mg/ml
15 • Bovine Gamma Globulin (Panvera P2045, 5mg/ml)
• Black 96well micro titer plates (Thermo #7205. vwr# 25227-304)
Sample Set-up and Controls
• Competitive Binding Samples: 5nM GA and 3OnM HspθOalpha and inhibitor
• Control Samples: buffer only, BODIPY GA only, BODIPY GA plus Hsp90alpha, BODIPY GA plus
• Hsp90alpha and unlabeled GA
Protocol
1. Prepare working assay buffer with Hsp90alpha protein at a final concentration of 3OnM per well in 10OuI final volume. Add 85ul of this solution per well to 96 well black micro titer plate, (for 20ml assay buffer add 40OuI 1M DTT stk and 40OuI 5mg/ml BGG stk) (1mg/ml Hsp90 stock= ~11uM protein; want 0.03uM final in 100ul, so adjust to 0.035uM in 85ul which is 1:314 fold dilution into assay buffer= 64ul protein plus 20ml buffer to dispense 85ul/well).
2. Add 5ul of inhibitors @ 2Ox final desired concentration. For 10ug/ml start, the overall dilution from 1mg/ml stocks is 1:100. (for 10ug/mi start, prepare dmso cpd dilution plates with 1mg/ml cpd stocks; serial dilute in dmso and titrate down 3-fold or 7 fold; use robot to transfer 10ul from dmso cpd plate to 4OuI dmso intermediate plate (1:5 dilution, with intermediate plate at 200ug/ml); use robot to then add 5ul from the intermediate dmso plate to 85ul in assay plate (1:20 dilution for 10ug/ml final). Final assay condition will be 5% DMSO.
3. Incubate protein and inhibitors for 10min @ RT. 4. Add BODIPY-GA in 10ul @ 10x final desired concentration, (if 1x is 5nM, 10x is 5OnM and dmso stock is 12uM, so for 2.5ml, use 10ul of 12uM GA plus 2.5ml assay buffer and add 10ul per well)
5. Incubate at RT with gentle shaking for various time points (2hr, 3hr, etc.)
6. Use Wallac Envision to read FP using protocol: JENs FP FITC Dual in room 4603. (parameters are: mirror module-FITC FP dual, excitation filter- FITC FP 480, emission filters- FITC FP P-pol 535 and FITC FP S-pol 535)
Analysis of Results
The Envision instrument automatically prepares a calculation based on the readings it obtains from the two measurements. The calculation expresses the results as mP units, millipolarizatjon units, and the instrument calculation is as follows: mP value for FP measurement = 1000 * (S - G * P) / (S + G * P). The G value will be adjusted to <1 in order to move the baseline of the assay to zero. Samples wells containing BODIPY labeled geldanamycin and no hsp90 protein usually yield a mP value of -20 when G=I
By adjusting G to 0.96 or 0.97, the FP measurement calculation will result in a "0° reading for BODIPY GM without Hsp90. After this calculation, all data will be divided by the "untreated" average and multiplied by 100 to achieve % of control, or % polarization measurements. All data will have been transformed to a "0 to 100" scale. Therefore, the smaller the percent polarization value, the more active a compound is, because of it's ability to out- compete BODIPY GM and bind to Hsp90. IC50s will be determined manually from percent polarization values plotted in Microsoft Excel.
The ability of selected compounds of the invention to inhibit the binding of labeled geldanamycin to Hsp90 based on this assay is summarized in Table 14A. ICs0 is defined as the concentration at which 50% inhibition is observed.
REFERENCE COMPOUNDS: Unlabeled Geldanamycin is used as a positive control for competition with BODIPY labeled Geldanamycin for binding to the Hsp90 protein.
