Definitions

  • This invention relates to compounds for the inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC). More particularly, the invention relates to compounds and methods for inhibiting HDAC enzymatic activity.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • Histone deacetylases are involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through chromatin remodeling.
  • nuclear DNA associates with histones to form a compact complex called chromatin.
  • the histones constitute a family of basic proteins which are generally highly conserved across eukaryotic species.
  • the core histones termed H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, associate to form a protein core.
  • DNA winds around this protein core, with the basic amino acids of the histones interacting with the negatively charged phosphate groups of the DNA.
  • Approximately 146 base pairs of DNA wrap around a histone core to make up a nucleosome particle, the repeating structural motif of chromatin.
  • histones are subject to posttranslational acetylation of the N-terminal lysine residues, a reaction that is catalyzed by histone acetyl transferase (HATl).
  • HATl histone acetyl transferase
  • Acetylation neutralizes the positive charge of the lysine side chain, and is thought to impact chromatin structure.
  • Taunton et al Science, 272: 408-411 (1996), teaches that access of transcription factors to chromatin templates is enhanced by histone hyperacetylation.
  • Taunton et al. further teaches that an enrichment in underacetylated histone H4 has been found in transcriptionally silent regions of the genome.
  • Histone acetylation is a reversible modification, with deacetylation being catalyzed by a family of enzymes termed histone deacetylases (HDACs).
  • HDACs histone deacetylases
  • the molecular cloning of gene sequences encoding proteins with HDAC activity has established the existence of a set of discrete HDAC enzyme isoforms.
  • Histone deacetylases play an important role in gene regulation in mammalian cells. Gray and Ekstrom, Expr. Cell. Res. 262: 75-83 (2001); Zhou et al., Proc. ⁇ atl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 10572-10577 (2001); Kao et al. J. Biol. Chem.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • Class I histone deacetylases include HDACl, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8.
  • the Class I enzymes are expressed in a wide variety of tissues and are reported to be localized in the nucleus.
  • Class II histone deacetylases include HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC9 and HDAClO.
  • the Class II enzymes have been described as limited in tissue distribution and they can shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
  • the Class II enzymes are further divided into Class IIa (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7 and HDAC9) and Class lib (HD AC6 and HDAClO). Recent classifications place HDACIl in a class of its own.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • a human HDAC that is related to a yeast transcriptional regulator.
  • Cress et al J. Cell. Phys. 184:1-16 (2000), discloses that, in the context of human cancer, the role of HDAC is as a corepressor of transcription.
  • Magnaghi-Jaulin et al Prog. Cell Cycle Res.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • Delorme et al, WO 01/38322 and WO 2001/070675 disclose additional compounds that serve as HDAC inhibitors.
  • Other inhibitors of histone deacetylase activity including trapoxin, depudecin, FR901228 (Fujisawa Pharmaceuticals), and butyrate, have been found to similarly inhibit cell cycle progression in cells (Taunton et al, Science 272: 408-411, 1996; Kijima et al, J. Biol. Chem. 268(30):22429-22435, 1993; Kwon et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA 95(7):3356-61, 1998).
  • HDAC activity represents a novel approach for intervening in cell cycle regulation and that HDAC inhibitors have great therapeutic potential in the study and/or treatment of diseases or conditions ameliorated by modulating HDAC activity.
  • Inhibitors which are not selective for specific HDAC isotype(s) may have undesirable side effects than an HDAC inhibitor that is better able to target specific HDAC isoforms, and may thus be less desirable as an inhibitor or therapeutic agent.
  • Identification of inhibitors selective for specific HDAC isotype(s) will yield novel strategies for understanding the role of histone deacetylases and treating diseases ameliorated by modulating by HDAC activity.

INHIBITORS OF HISTONE DEACETYLASE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Cross-reference to Related Applications
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application no. 60/985,060, filed November 2, 2007.
Field of the Invention
[0002] This invention relates to compounds for the inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC). More particularly, the invention relates to compounds and methods for inhibiting HDAC enzymatic activity.
Description of Related Art
[0003] Histone deacetylases are involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through chromatin remodeling. In eukaryotic cells, nuclear DNA associates with histones to form a compact complex called chromatin. The histones constitute a family of basic proteins which are generally highly conserved across eukaryotic species. The core histones, termed H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, associate to form a protein core. DNA winds around this protein core, with the basic amino acids of the histones interacting with the negatively charged phosphate groups of the DNA. Approximately 146 base pairs of DNA wrap around a histone core to make up a nucleosome particle, the repeating structural motif of chromatin. [0004] Csordas, Biochem. J, 286: 23-38 (1990) teaches that histones are subject to posttranslational acetylation of the N-terminal lysine residues, a reaction that is catalyzed by histone acetyl transferase (HATl). Acetylation neutralizes the positive charge of the lysine side chain, and is thought to impact chromatin structure. Indeed, Taunton et al, Science, 272: 408-411 (1996), teaches that access of transcription factors to chromatin templates is enhanced by histone hyperacetylation. Taunton et al. further teaches that an enrichment in underacetylated histone H4 has been found in transcriptionally silent regions of the genome. [0005] Histone acetylation is a reversible modification, with deacetylation being catalyzed by a family of enzymes termed histone deacetylases (HDACs). The molecular cloning of gene sequences encoding proteins with HDAC activity has established the existence of a set of discrete HDAC enzyme isoforms. Histone deacetylases play an important role in gene regulation in mammalian cells. Gray and Ekstrom, Expr. Cell. Res. 262: 75-83 (2001); Zhou et al., Proc. Νatl. Acad. Sci. USA 98: 10572-10577 (2001); Kao et al. J. Biol. Chem. 277: 187-193 (2002) and Gao et al. J. Biol. Chem. 277: 25748-25755 (2002) teach that there are 11 members of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family. [0006] Class I histone deacetylases include HDACl, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8. The Class I enzymes are expressed in a wide variety of tissues and are reported to be localized in the nucleus. Class II histone deacetylases include HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC9 and HDAClO. The Class II enzymes have been described as limited in tissue distribution and they can shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The Class II enzymes are further divided into Class IIa (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC7 and HDAC9) and Class lib (HD AC6 and HDAClO). Recent classifications place HDACIl in a class of its own.
[0007] Studies utilizing known HDAC inhibitors have established a link between acetylation and gene expression. Numerous studies have examined the relationship between HDAC and gene expression. Taunton et al, Science 272:408-411 (1996), discloses a human HDAC that is related to a yeast transcriptional regulator. Cress et al, J. Cell. Phys. 184:1-16 (2000), discloses that, in the context of human cancer, the role of HDAC is as a corepressor of transcription. Ng et al, TIBS 25: March (2000), discloses HDAC as a pervasive feature of transcriptional repressor systems. Magnaghi-Jaulin et al, Prog. Cell Cycle Res. 4:41-47 (2000), discloses HDAC as a transcriptional co-regulator important for cell cycle progression. [0008] Richon et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA, 95: 3003-3007 (1998), discloses that HDAC activity is inhibited by trichostatin A (TSA), a natural product isolated from Streptomyces hygroscopicus, which has been shown to inhibit histone deacetylase activity and arrest cell cycle progression in cells in the Gl and G2 phases (Yoshida et al, J. Biol. Chem. 265: 17174-17179, 1990; Yoshida et al, Exp. Cell Res. Ill: 122-131, 1988), and by a synthetic compound, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). Yoshida and Beppu, Exper. Cell Res., Ill: 122-131 (1988), teaches that TSA causes arrest of rat fibroblasts at the Gi and G2 phases of the cell cycle, implicating HDAC in cell cycle regulation. Indeed, Finnin et al, Nature, 401: 188-193 (1999), teaches that TSA and SAHA inhibit cell growth, induce terminal differentiation, and prevent the formation of tumors in mice. Suzuki et al, U.S. Pat. No. 6,174,905, EP 0847992 and JP 258863/96, disclose benzamide derivatives that induce cell differentiation and inhibit HDAC. Delorme et al, WO 01/38322 and WO 2001/070675, disclose additional compounds that serve as HDAC inhibitors. Other inhibitors of histone deacetylase activity, including trapoxin, depudecin, FR901228 (Fujisawa Pharmaceuticals), and butyrate, have been found to similarly inhibit cell cycle progression in cells (Taunton et al, Science 272: 408-411, 1996; Kijima et al, J. Biol. Chem. 268(30):22429-22435, 1993; Kwon et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. ScL USA 95(7):3356-61, 1998).
[0009] These and other findings suggest that inhibition of HDAC activity represents a novel approach for intervening in cell cycle regulation and that HDAC inhibitors have great therapeutic potential in the study and/or treatment of diseases or conditions ameliorated by modulating HDAC activity. Inhibitors which are not selective for specific HDAC isotype(s) may have undesirable side effects than an HDAC inhibitor that is better able to target specific HDAC isoforms, and may thus be less desirable as an inhibitor or therapeutic agent. Identification of inhibitors selective for specific HDAC isotype(s) will yield novel strategies for understanding the role of histone deacetylases and treating diseases ameliorated by modulating by HDAC activity.

[0022] In some embodiments the animal is administered an effective amount of a compound according to the present invention, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof, in combination (simultaneously or sequentially) with at least one other anti-disease agent, or a composition thereof. The term "anti-disease agent" includes any agent that is useful for the treatment of the particular disease for which treatment is desired. [0023] For purposes of the present invention, the following definitions will be used (unless expressly stated otherwise).
[0024] Reference to "a compound of the formula (I), formula (II), etc.," (or equivalently, "a compound according to the first aspect", or "a compound of the present invention", and the like), herein is understood to include reference to N-oxides, hydrates, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs and complexes thereof, and racemic and scalemic mixtures, diastereomers, enantiomers and tautomers thereof and unless otherwise indicated. [0025] For simplicity, chemical moieties are defined and referred to throughout primarily as univalent chemical moieties (e.g., alkyl, aryl, etc.). Nevertheless, such terms are also used to convey corresponding multivalent moieties under the appropriate structural circumstances clear to those skilled in the art. For example, while an "alkyl" moiety generally refers to a monovalent radical (e.g. CH3-CH2-), in certain circumstances a bivalent linking moiety can be "alkyl," in which case those skilled in the art will understand the alkyl to be a divalent radical (e.g., -CH2-CH2-), which is equivalent to the term "alkylene." (Similarly, in circumstances in which a divalent moiety is required and is stated as being "aryl," those skilled in the art will understand that the term "aryl" refers to the corresponding divalent moiety, arylene). AU atoms are understood to have their normal number of valences for bond formation (i.e., 4 for carbon, 3 for N, 2 for O, and 2, 4, or 6 for S, depending on the oxidation state of the S). On occasion a moiety may be defined, for example, as (A)3-B-, wherein a is 0 or 1. In such instances, when a is 0 the moiety is B- and when a is 1 the moiety is A-B-. Also, a number of moietes disclosed here may exist in multiple tautomeric forms, all of which are intended to be encompassed by any given tautomeric structure.
[0026] For simplicity, reference to a "Cn-Cm" heterocyclyl or "Cn-C1n" heteroaryl means a heterocyclyl or heteroaryl having from "n" to "m" annular atoms, where "n" and "m" are integers. Thus, for example, a Cs-Q-heterocyclyl is a 5- or 6- membered ring having at least one heteroatom, and includes, for example, pyrrolidinyl (C5) and piperidinyl (C6); C6- heteroaryl includes, for example, pyridyl and pyrimidyl.
[0027] The term "hydrocarbyl" refers to a straight, branched, or cyclic alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, each as defined herein. A "C0" hydrocarbyl is used to refer to a covalent bond. Thus, "Co-C3-hydrocarbyl" includes a covalent bond, methyl, ethyl, ethenyl, ethynyl, propyl, propenyl, propynyl, and cyclopropyl.
[0028] The term "aliphatic" is intended to mean both saturated, partially unsaturated and unsaturated, straight chain or branched aliphatic hydrocarbons.

[0029] The term "alkyl" is intended to mean a straight chain or branched aliphatic group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, alternatively 1-8 carbon atoms, and alternatively 1-6 carbon atoms. Other examples of alkyl groups have from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, alternatively
2-8 carbon atoms and alternatively 2-6 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include, without limitation, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl and the like. A "Co" alkyl (as in "Co-C3alkyl") is a covalent bond.

[0031] The term "alkynyl" is intended to mean an unsaturated or partially unsaturated straight chain or branched aliphatic group with one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds, having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms, alternatively 2-8 carbon atoms, and alternatively 2-6 carbon atoms. Examples of alkynyl groups include, without limitation, ethynyl, propynyl, butynyl, pentynyl, and hexynyl.
[0032] The terms "alkylene," "alkenylene," or "alkynylene" as used herein are intended to mean an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group, respectively, as defined hereinabove, that is positioned between and serves to connect two other chemical groups. Examples of alkylene groups include, without limitation, methylene, ethylene, propylene, and butylene.

[0036] The term "heteroalkyl" is intended to mean a saturated, partially unsaturated or unsaturated, straight chain or branched aliphatic group, wherein one or more carbon atoms in the group are independently replaced by a moiety selected from the group consisting of O, S, N, N-alkyl, -S(O)-, -S(O)2-, -S(O)2NH-, or -NHS(O)2-.
[0037] The term "aryl" is intended to mean a mono-, bi-, tri- or polycyclic aromatic moiety, for example a C6-Ci4aromatic moiety, for example comprising one to three aromatic rings. Alternatively, the aryl group is a C6-C10aryl group, alternatively a Qaryl group. Examples of aryl groups include, without limitation, phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl, and fluorenyl.
[0038] The terms "aralkyl" or "arylalkyl" are intended to mean a group comprising an aryl group covalently linked to an alkyl group. If an aralkyl group is described as "optionally substituted", it is intended that either or both of the aryl and alkyl moieties may independently be optionally substituted or unsubstituted. For example, the aralkyl group is (C1-C6)alk(C6-Cio)aryl, including, without limitation, benzyl, phenethyl, and naphthylmethyl. For simplicity, when written as "arylalkyl" this term, and terms related thereto, is intended to indicate the order of groups in a compound as "aryl - alkyl". Similarly, "alkyl-aryl" is intended to indicate the order of the groups in a compound as "alkyl-aryl". [0039] The terms "heterocyclyl", "heterocyclic" or "heterocycle" are intended to mean a group which is a mono-, bi-, or polycyclic structure having from about 3 to about 14 atoms, wherein one or more atoms are independently selected from the group consisting of N, O, and S. The ring structure may be saturated, unsaturated or partially unsaturated. In certain embodiments, the heterocyclic group is non-aromatic, in which case the group is also known as a heterocycloalkyl. In certain embodiments, the heterocyclic group is a bridged heterocyclic group (for example, a bicyclic moiety with a methylene, ethylene or propylene bridge). In a bicyclic or polycyclic structure, one or more rings may be aromatic; for example one ring of a bicyclic heterocycle or one or two rings of a tricyclic heterocycle may be aromatic, as in indan and 9,10-dihydro anthracene. Examples of heterocyclic groups include, without limitation, epoxy, aziridinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, thiazolidinyl, oxazolidinyl, oxazolidinonyl, and morpholino. In certain embodiments, the heterocyclic group is fused to an aryl, heteroaryl, or cycloalkyl group. Examples of such fused heterocycles include, without limitation, tetrahydroquinoline and dihydrobenzofuran. Specifically excluded from the scope of this term are compounds where an annular O or S atom is adjacent to another O or S atom.

The term "heteroaryl" is also intended to encompass the N-oxide derivative (or N- oxide derivatives, if the heteroaryl group contains more than one nitrogen such that more than one N-oxide derivative may be formed) of a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl group. For example, a heteroaryl group may be pyrimidinyl, pyridinyl, benzimidazolyl, thienyl, benzothiazolyl, benzofuranyl and indolinyl.

If a heterocyclylalkyl is described as "optionally substituted" it is meant that both the heterocyclyl and the corresponding alkylene, alkylidene, or alkylidyne radical portion of a heterocyclylalkyl group may be optionally substituted. A "lower heterocyclylalkyl" refers to a heterocyclylalkyl where the "alkyl" portion of the group has one to six carbons.

[0077] The terms "inhibition effective amount" or "histone deacetylase inhibiting amount" are meant to denote a dosage or amount sufficient to cause inhibition of histone deacetylase activity in vitro or in vivo. The histone deacetylase may be in a cell, which cell can be in a multicellular organism. The multicellular organism can be a plant or fungus, or an animal, for example a mammal, for example a human. The fungus may be infecting a plant or a mammal, for example a human, and could therefore be located in and/or on the plant or mammal. If the histone deacetylase is in a multicellular organism, the method according to this aspect of the invention comprises administering to the organism a compound or composition according to the present invention. Administration may be by any route, including, without limitation, parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, or intrarectal. In certain embodiments, compounds of the invention are administered intravenously in a hospital setting. In certain other embodiments, administration may be by the oral route.
[0078] In certain embodiments, HDAC inhibition is specific, i.e., the HDAC inhibitor reduces a functional property or biological ability of a HDAC at a concentration that is lower than the concentration of the inhibitor that is required to produce another, unrelated biological effect. For example, the concentration of the inhibitor required for HDAC inhibitory activity is at least 2-fold lower, alternatively at least 5-fold lower, alternatively at least 10-fold lower, and alternatively at least 20-fold lower than the concentration required to produce an unrelated biological effect.
[0079] The term "therapeutically effective amount" as employed herein is an amount of a compound of the invention, that when administered to a patient, treats a disease. The amount of a compound of the invention which constitutes a "therapeutically effective amount" will vary depending on the compound, the disease, the disease state and its severity, the age, sex, health, size of the patient to be treated, the results desired, and the like. The therapeutically effective amount can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art. Optimal amounts can be determined based on monitoring of the patient's response to treatment. [0080] The term "patient" as employed herein for the purposes of the present invention includes humans and other animals, for example mammals, and other organisms. Thus the compounds, compositions and methods of the present invention are applicable for example to both human therapy and veterinary applications. In one embodiment the patient is a mammal, for example a human.
[0081] The terms "treating", "treatment", or the like, as used herein covers the treatment of a disease-state in an organism and includes at least one of: (i) preventing the disease-state from occurring, in particular, when such organism is predisposed to the disease-state but has not yet been diagnosed as having it; (ii) inhibiting the disease-state, i.e., partially or completely arresting its development; (iii) relieving the disease-state, i.e., causing regression of symptoms of the disease-state, or ameliorating a symptom of the disease; and (iv) reversal or regression of the disease-state, for example eliminating or curing of the disease. In certain embodiments of the present invention the organism is a mammal, for example a primate, for example a human. As is known in the art, adjustments for systemic versus localized delivery, age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, drug interaction and the severity of the condition may be necessary, and will be ascertainable with routine experimentation by one of ordinary skill in the art. In certain embodiments, the terms "treating", "treatment", or the like, as used herein covers the treatment of a disease-state in an organism and includes at least one of (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.
[0082] As used herein, the terms "histone deacetylase" and "HDAC" are intended to refer to any one of a family of enzymes that remove acetyl groups from a protein (for example, a histone, or tubulin). Unless otherwise indicated by context, the term "histone" is meant to refer to any histone protein, including Hl, H2A, H2B, H3, H4, and H5, from any species. Examples of histone deacetylases include class II enzymes. For example the histone deacetylase is a human HDAC, including, but not limited to, HDAC-4, HDAC-5, HDAC-6, HDAC-7, HDAC-8, HDAC-9 and HDAC-IO. In some other embodiments, the histone deacetylase is derived from a protozoal or fungal source.
[0083] The terms "histone deacetylase inhibitor" and "inhibitor of histone deacetylase" are intended to mean a compound having a structure as defined herein, which is capable of interacting with a histone deacetylase and inhibiting its enzymatic activity. [0084] The term "inhibiting histone deacetylase enzymatic activity" is intended to mean reducing the ability of a histone deacetylase to remove an acetyl group from a protein, such as but not limited to a histone or tubulin. The concentration of inhibitor which reduces the activity of a histone deacetylase to 50% of that of the uninhibited enzyme is determined as the IC50 value. In some embodiments, such reduction of histone deacetylase activity is at least 50%, alternatively at least about 75%, and alternatively at least about 90%. In other embodiments, histone deacetylase activity is reduced by at least 95%, alternatively by at least 99%.
[0085] In certain embodiments, such inhibition is specific, i.e., the histone deacetylase inhibitor reduces the ability of a histone deacetylase to remove an acetyl group from a protein at a concentration that is lower than the concentration of the inhibitor that is required to produce another, unrelated biological effect. For example, the concentration of the inhibitor required for histone deacetylase inhibitory activity is at least 2-fold lower, alternatively at least 5-fold lower, alternatively at least 10-fold lower, and alternatively at least 20-fold lower than the concentration required to produce an unrelated biological effect. [0086] The term "protecting group" is intended to mean a group used in synthesis to temporarily mask the characteristic chemistry of a functional group because it interferes with another reaction. A good protecting group should be easy to put on, easy to remove and in high yielding reactions, and inert to the conditions of the reaction required. A protecting group or protective group is introduced into a molecule by chemical modification of a functional group in order to obtain chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction. One skilled in the art will recognize that during any of the processes for preparation of the compounds in the present invention, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups, such as but not limited to Bn- (or -CH2Ph), -CHPh2, alloc (or CH2=CH-CH2-O-C(O)-), BOC-, -Cbz (or Z-), -F-moc, -C(O)-CF3, N-Phthalimide,l-Adoc-, TBDMS-, TBDPS-, TMS-, TIPS-, IPDMS-, -SiR3, SEM-, t-Bu-, Tr-, THP- and AUyI- and those described in standard textbooks, such as Greene, T. W. et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Wiley, N. Y. (1999). These protecting groups may be removed at a convenient stage using methods known from the art. When a functional group is termed "protected", this means that the group is in modified form to mitigate, especially preclude, undesired side reactions at the protected site.
[0087] The compounds of the present invention form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Reference to a compound of the invention, for example a compound of Formula (I), herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated.
[0088] The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic and/or basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids and bases. In addition, when a compound of Formula (I) contains both a basic moiety, such as but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety such as but not limited to a carboxylic acid, zwitterions ("inner salts") may be formed and are included within the term "salt(s)" as used herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic (exhibiting minimal or no undesired toxicological effects), physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful, e.g., in isolation or purification steps which may be employed during preparation. Salts of the compounds of the invention may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of the present invention with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salts precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization. [0089] The compounds of the present invention which contain a basic moiety, such as but not limited to an amine or a pyridine or imidazole ring, may form salts with a variety of organic and inorganic acids. Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates (such as those formed with acetic acid or trihaloacetic acid, for example, trifluoroacetic acid), adipates, alginates, ascorbates, aspartates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, cyclopentanepropionates, digluconates, dodecylsulfates, ethanesulfonates, fumarates, glucoheptanoates, glycerophosphates, hemisulfates, heptanoates, hexanoates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, hydroxyethanesulfanotes (e.g., 2- hydroxyethanesulfonates), lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates (e.g., 2-naphthalenesulfonates), nicotinates, nitrates, oxalates, pectinates, persulfates, phenylpropionates (e.g., 3-phenylpropionates), phosphates, picrates, pivalates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates (such as those formed with sulfuric acid), sulfonates, tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates such as tosylates, undecanoates, and the like. [0090] The compounds of the present invention which contain an acidic moiety, such as but not limited to a carboxylic acid, may form salts with a variety of organic and inorganic bases. Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as benzathines, dicyclohexylamines, hydrabamines (formed with N,N-bis(dehydroabietyl) ethylenediamine), N-methyl-D-glucamines, N-methyl-D-glycamides, £-butyl amines, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quaternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl, diethyl, dibuty and diamyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g. decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), aralkyl halides (e.g. benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.
[0091] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" is intended to mean salts that retain the desired biological activity of the above-identified compounds and exhibit minimal or no undesired toxicological effects.
[0092] Another aspect of the invention provides compositions including a compound, N- oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug of a compound according to the present invention as described herein, or a racemic mixture, diastereomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof. For example, in one embodiment of the invention, a composition comprises a compound, N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug of a compound according to the present invention as described herein present in at least about 30% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In certain desirable embodiments of the invention, the compound, N-oxide, hydrates, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present in at least about 50%, at least about 80%, or even at least about 90% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In certain other desirable embodiments of the invention, the compound, N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present in at least about 95%, alternatively at least about 98% and alternatively at least about 99% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In other embodiments of the invention, a compound, N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present as a substantially racemic mixture.
[0093] Some compounds of the invention may have chiral centers and/or geometric isomeric centers (E- and Z- isomers), and it is to be understood that the invention encompasses all such optical, enantiomeric, diastereoisomeric and geometric isomers. The invention also comprises all tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein. Where compounds of the invention include chiral centers, the invention encompasses the enantiomerically and/or diasteromerically pure isomers of such compounds, the enantiomerically and/or diastereomerically enriched mixtures of such compounds, and the racemic and scalemic mixtures of such compounds. For example, a composition may include a mixture of enantiomers or diastereomers of a compound of Formula (I) in at least about 30% diastereomeric or enantiomeric excess. In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound is present in at least about 50% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess, in at least about 80% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess, or even in at least about 90% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound is present in at least about 95%, alternatively in at least about 98% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess, and alternatively in at least about 99% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. [0094] The chiral centers of the present invention may have the S or R configuration. The racemic forms can be resolved by physical methods, such as, for example, fractional crystallization, separation or crystallization of diastereomeric derivates or separation by chiral column chromatography. The individual optical isomers can be obtained either starting from chiral precursors/intermediates or from the racemates by any suitable method, including without limitation, conventional methods, such as, for example, salt formation with an optically active acid followed by crystallization.
[0095] The present invention also includes prodrugs of compounds of the invention. The term "prodrug" is intended to mean a derivative of a compound of the present invention that requires a transformation, for example, within the body, to release or activate the parent compound. Prodrugs are frequently, although not necessarily, pharmacologically inactive until converted to the parent compound. A hydroxyl containing compound may be converted to, for example, a sulfonate, ester or carbonate prodrug, which may be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the hydroxyl compound. An amino containing compound may be converted, for example, to a carbamate, amide, enamine, imine, N-phosphonyl, N-phosphoryl or N-sulfenyl prodrug, which may be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the amino compound. A carboxylic acid compound may be converted to an ester (including silyl esters and thioesters), amide or hydrazide prodrug, which be hydrolyzed in vivo to provide the carboxylic acid compound. Prodrugs for drugs which have functional groups different than those listed above are well known to the skilled artisan. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. [0096] Prodrugs of compounds of the invention include compounds wherein a hydroxy, amino, carboxylic, or a similar group is modified. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to esters (e.g., acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives), carbamates (e.g., N5N- dimethylaminocarbonyl) of hydroxy or amino functional groups in compounds of Formula (I)), amides (e.g., trifluoroacetylamino, acetylamino, and the like), and the like. [0097] The compounds of the invention may be administered as is or as a prodrug, for example in the form of an in vivo hydrolyzable ester or in vivo hydrolyzable amide. An in vivo hydrolyzable ester of a compound of the invention containing carboxy or hydroxy group is, for example, a pharmaceutically acceptable ester which is hydrolyzed in the human or animal body to produce the parent acid or alcohol. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable esters for carboxy include Q-Cθalkoxymethyl esters (e.g., methoxymethyl), C1- Cδalkanoyloxymethyl esters (e.g., for example pivaloyloxymethyl), phthalidyl esters, C3- C8cycloalkoxycarbonyloxy-C]-C6alkyl esters (e.g., l-cyclohexylcarbonyloxyethyl); 1,3- dioxolen-2-onylmethyl esters (e.g., 5-methyl-l,3-dioxolen-2-onylmethyl, and C1- Cδalkoxycarbonyloxyethyl esters (e.g., 1-methoxycarbonyloxyethyl) and may be formed at any appropriate carboxy group in the compounds of this invention.
[0098] An in vivo hydrolyzable ester of a compound of the invention containing a hydroxy group includes inorganic esters such as phosphate esters and α-acyloxyalkyl ethers and related compounds which as a result of the in vivo hydrolysis of the ester breakdown to give the parent hydroxy group. Examples of α-acyloxyalkyl ethers include acetoxymethoxy and 2,2-dimethylpropionyloxy-methoxy. A selection of in vivo hydrolyzable ester forming groups for hydroxy include alkanoyl, benzoyl, phenylacetyl and substituted benzoyl and phenylacetyl, alkoxycarbonyl (to give alkyl carbonate esters), dialkylcarbamoyl and N-(N1N- dialkylaminoethyl)-N-alkylcarbamoyl (to give carbamates), N,N~dialkylaminoacetyl and carboxyacetyl. Examples of substituents on benzoyl include morpholino and piperazino linked from a ring nitrogen atom via a methylene group to the 3- or 4- position of the benzoyl ring. A suitable value for an in vivo hydrolyzable amide of a compound of the invention containing a carboxy group is, for example, a N-Q-Cealkyl or ΝjΝ-di-Q-Qalkyl amide such as N-methyl, N-ethyl, iV-propyl, N,N-dimethyl, N-ethyl-N-methyl or N,N-diethyl amide. [0099] Upon administration to a subject, the prodrug undergoes chemical conversion by metabolic or chemical processes to yield a compound of the present invention, or a salt and/or solvate thereof. Solvates of the compounds of the present invention include, for example, hydrates.
[0100] Typically, in a prodrug, a polar functional group (e.g., a carboxylic acid, an amino group, a hydroxyl group, etc.) is masked by a promoiety, which is labile under physiological conditions. ""Promoiety"" refers to a form of protecting group that when used to mask a functional group within a compound molecule converts the drug into a prodrug. Typically, the promoiety will be attached to the compound via bond(s) that are cleaved by enzymatic or non-enzymatic means in vivo.
[0101] The terms "protect", "protected", and "protecting" are intended to refer to a process in which a functional group in a chemical compound is selectively masked by a non- reactive functional group in order to allow a selective reaction(s) to occur elsewhere on said chemical compound. Such non-reactive functional groups are herein termed "protecting groups". For example, the term "nitrogen protecting group", is intended to mean a group capable of selectively masking the reactivity of a nitrogen (N) group. The term "suitable protecting group" is intended to mean a protecting group useful in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention. Such groups are generally able to be selectively introduced and removed using mild reaction conditions that do not interfere with other portions of the subject compounds. Protecting groups that are suitable for use in the processes and methods of the present invention are well known, such as but not limited to, Bn- (or -CH2Ph), -CHPh2, alloc (or CH2=CH-CH2-O-C(O)-), BOC-, -Cbz (or Z-), -F-moc, -C(O)- CF3, N-Phthalimide,l-Adoc-, TBDMS-, TBDPS-, TMS-, TIPS-, IPDMS-, -SiR3, SEM-, t-Bu- , Tr-, THP- and AUyI-. These protecting groups may be removed at a convenient stage using methods known from the art. The chemical properties of such protecting groups, methods for their introduction and their removal art known in the art and can be found for example in T. Greene and P. WuIs, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (3rd ed.), John Wiley & Sons, NY (1999), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The terms "deprotect", "deprotected", and "deprotecting" are intended to refer to the process of removing a protecting group from a compound.
[0102] Throughout the specification, certain embodiments of one or more chemical substituents are identified. Also encompassed are combinations of such embodiments. For example, the invention describes certain embodiments of L in the compounds and describes certain embodiments of group Y. Thus, as an example, also contemplated as within the scope of the invention are compounds in which certain examples of L are as described and in which certain examples of group Y are as described. [0103] The foregoing merely summarizes one aspect and embodiments of the invention and is not intended to be limiting in nature. This aspect and embodiments are described more fully below.

[0296] Where possible, the compounds in this application were named using Chemdraw Ultra version 9 or 10, which is available through Cambridgesoft.co, 100 Cambridge Park Drive, Cambridge, MA 02140,
[0297] Meta- and /?αrø-substituted aryl or heteroaryl hydroxamates are very well known as HDAC inhibitors. Ort/20-substitutions are detrimental for the potency of HDAC inhibitors; however small groups substituents such as halo can be tolerated. [0298] We have unexpectedly found that ø-substituted aryl or heteroaryl hydroxamates having a much bigger but flat aromatic or heteroaromatic substituent such as phenyl or thienyl are not only well tolerated but cause an increase in HDAC inhibitory activity and impart selectivity for histone deacetylase-4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9 and/or -11. Compositions
[0299] In a second aspect, the invention provides compositions comprising a compound according to the invention or an N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug thereof, or a racemic or scalemic mixture, diastereomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient, or diluent. Compounds of the invention may be formulated by any method well known in the art and may be prepared for administration by any route, including, without limitation, parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, intravenous or intrarectal. In certain embodiments, compounds of the invention are administered intravenously in a hospital setting. In certain other embodiments, administration may be by the oral route. The compositions may be in the form of liquid solutions or suspensions; for oral administration, formulations may be in the form of tablets or capsules; and for intranasal formulations, in the form of powders, nasal drops or aerosols. The compositions of the invention may be administered systemically or locally.
[0300] The characteristics of the carrier will depend on the route of administration. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means a non-toxic material that is compatible with a biological system such as a cell, cell culture, tissue, or organism, and that does not interfere with the effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s). Thus, compositions according to the invention may contain, in addition to the inhibitor, diluents, fillers, salts, buffers, stabilizers, solubilizers, and other materials well known in the art. The preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations is described in, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, ed. A. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, 1990.
[0301] In one embodiment of the second aspect, the composition comprises a compound, N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug of a compound according to the present invention as described herein present in at least about 30% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound, N-oxide, hydrates, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present in at least about 50%, at least about 80%, or even at least about 90% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In certain other embodiments of the invention, the compound, N- oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present in at least about 95%, alternatively at least about 98% and alternatively at least about 99% enantiomeric or diastereomeric excess. In other embodiments of the invention, a compound, N-oxide, hydrate, solvate, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, complex or prodrug is present as a substantially racemic mixture. In certain embodiments, the composition further comprises an additional therapeutic or inhibitory agent.
[0302] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" is intended to mean salts that retain the desired biological activity of the above-identified compounds and exhibit minimal or no undesired toxicological effects. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids (for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and the like), and salts formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, and polygalacturonic acid. The compounds can also be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary salts known by those skilled in the art, which specifically include the quaternary ammonium salt of the formula -NR + Z-, wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl, or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, including chloride, bromide, iodide, -O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methylsulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or carboxylate (such as benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, citrate, tartrate, ascorbate, benzoate, cinnamoate, mandeloate, benzyloate, and diphenylacetate). As used herein, the term "salt" is also meant to encompass complexes, such as with an alkaline metal or an alkaline earth metal.
[0303] The active compound is included in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver an inhibition or therapeutic effective amount without causing undesirable toxic effects. In certain embodiments, a dose of the active compound for all of the above-mentioned conditions is in the range from about 0.01 to 300 mg/kg, for example 0.1 to 100 mg/kg per day, alternatively 0.5 to about 25 mg per kilogram body weight of the recipient per day. A typical topical dosage will range from 0.01-3% wt/wt in a suitable carrier. The effective dosage range of the pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives can be calculated based on the weight of the parent compound to be delivered. If the derivative exhibits activity in itself, the effective dosage can be estimated as above using the weight of the derivative, or by other means known to those skilled in the art. [0304] In certain embodiments of the second aspect of the invention, the composition further comprises an agent, such as an antisense oligonucleotide, that inhibits the expression of an HDAC gene. The combined use of a nucleic acid level inhibitor (e.g., antisense oligonucleotide) and a protein level inhibitor (i.e., inhibitor of HDAC enzyme activity) results in an improved inhibitory effect, thereby reducing the amounts of the inhibitors required to obtain a given inhibitory effect as compared to the amounts necessary when either is used individually. The antisense oligonucleotides according to this aspect of the invention are complementary to regions of RNA or double-stranded DNA that encode an HDAC gene. In other embodiments of the second aspect, the composition further comprises an additional agent that inhibits the eznymatic activit of the HDAC enzyme.
[0305] Additional inhibitory agents may also be present in the compositions of this invention, where the combination causes no unacceptable adverse effects.
Inhibition of HDAC Activity
[0306] In a third aspect, the invention provides a method of inhibiting HDAC activity, the method comprising contacting the HDAC with an inhibition effective amount of a compound according to the present invention, or with an inhibition effective amount of a composition according to the present invention. Inhibition of HDAC activity can be in a cell or a multicellular organism. If in a cell, the method according to this aspect comprises contacting the cell with an inhibition effective amount of a compound according to the present invention, or with an inhibition effective amount of a composition according to the present invention. If in a multicellular organism, the method according to this aspect of the invention comprises administering to the organism an inhibition effective amount of a compound according to the present invention, or an inhibition effective amount of a composition according to the present invention. In certain embodiments, the organism is a mammal, for example, a human. In certain embodiments, the method further comprises contacting the HDAC or the cell, with an effective amount of an additional inhibitory agent, or if in a multicellular organism, concurrently or sequentially administering an inhibition effective amount of an additional inhibitory agent.
[0307] In certain embodiments, the method is a method of treating a disease responsive to an inhibitor of HDAC activity and comprises administering to an individual in need thereof an effective amount of a compound or composition thereof according to the present invention. In certain embodiments, the method of treatment further comprises administering an effective amount of an additional therapeutic agent, wherein the additional therapeutic agent is a therapeutic agent appropriate for treating the disease. [0308] Because compounds of the invention inhibit HDAC activity they are useful research tools for in vitro study of HDACs and their role in biological processes.
[0309] Measurement of the enzymatic activity of an HDAC can be achieved using known methodologies.
[0310] In some embodiments, the HDAC inhibitor interacts with and reduces the activity of fewer than all HDACs in the cell. In certain embodiments, the inhibitor interacts with and reduces the activity of HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC8 and/or HDAC9, alternatively HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7 and/or HDAC8. In certain other embodiments, the inhibitor has an IC50 for HDAC8 which is lower than the IC50 for HDAC4,
HDAC5, HDAC6 and/or HDAC7.
[0311] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the HDAC inhibitor of the present invention may be administered together with another HDAC inhibitor known in the art or which will be discovered. Administration of such HDAC inhibitor may be done sequentially or concurrently. In certain embodiments of the present invention the compositions comprise an HDAC inhibitor of the present invention and/or an antisense oligonucleotide and/or another HDAC inhibitor known in the art or which will be discovered.
The active ingredients of such compositions for example act synergistically to produce a therapeutic effect.
[0312] In another embodiment of the third aspect, the method comprises inhibiting
