Definitions

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (N HL) is the filth most common cancer type in the United States with 59,000 new cases per year, and it is associated with high mortality of 41 %. Overall 5- and 10- year survival rates for subjects with NHL is 65% and 54%, respectively.
  • B-cell lymphomas are the most common forms, accounting for approximately 85% of all cases and include aggressive and indolent histologic subtypes. Aggressive B-cell lymphomas include Di ffuse Large B-call Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Burkitt's Lymphoma.
  • Follicular Lymphoma, Marginal Zone Lymphomas, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, and Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma are considered indolent B- cell lymphomas. All subtypes of NHL are staged in a similar fashion, and the most often used staging system is the Ann Arbor staging system (American Cancer Society, 2010).
  • Follicular Lymphoma is the most common indolent lymphoma comprising approximately 20 to 25% of all newly diagnosed lymphomas (Armitage et al, 1998;
  • MZLs Marginal Zone Lymphomas
  • MALT lymphomas account for 5 to 7% of all NHLs and can occur in gastric or nongastric sites, with the gastric wall being the most comrhon site (1LSG, 1997; Morton et al, 2006).
  • Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma also termed Waldenstrom's magroglobulinemia is characterized by excess lyphmoplasmacylic cells in the bone marrow, hyperproduction of immunoglobuli n M (IgM) and involvement of visceral organs, including liver and spleen (NCCN . 201 0).
  • IgM immunoglobuli n M
  • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Smal l Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL accounts for 35% of adult leukemias and has a variable natural history with survival times of 2 to 20 years (ACS, 2010). It is a B-cell monoclonal disorder characterized by a progressive accumulation of functionally incompetent lymphocytes in the bone marrow, peripheral blood and lymph nodes.
  • CLL/SLL cell immunophenotypes include CD 19, CD5 : CD20, CD23 expression and low levels of surface immunoglobulin.
  • Karyotypic abnormalities and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IgVH) gene are detectable by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FI SH) in 80% of subjects and are the most predictive markers of overall disease outcome (NCCN. 201 0).
  • the most common cytogenetic abnormality is del( 13q), and disease is relatively benign or slowly progressive.
  • the presence of de!Q l q) is a negative prognostic factor with a median overall survival of 6 to 7 years.
  • a del( l 7p) is an indicator of a very poor prognosis. This subgroup has a median overal l survival of only 2 to 3 years and does not appear to have benefited from recent therapeutic advances.
  • Subjects with a non-mutated IgVH gene tend to have steadily progressive disease and require treatment within a few years.
  • Subjects with a mutated IgVH gene experience more indolent diseases requiring less aggressive or no treatment (Hamblin et al, 1999; Sulda, 2010).

WITH BENDAMUSTINE AND/OR RITUXIMAB
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

BACKGROUND
[0002 ] Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (N HL) is the filth most common cancer type in the United States with 59,000 new cases per year, and it is associated with high mortality of 41 %. Overall 5- and 10- year survival rates for subjects with NHL is 65% and 54%, respectively. B-cell lymphomas are the most common forms, accounting for approximately 85% of all cases and include aggressive and indolent histologic subtypes. Aggressive B-cell lymphomas include Di ffuse Large B-call Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Burkitt's Lymphoma. Follicular Lymphoma, Marginal Zone Lymphomas, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma, and Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma are considered indolent B- cell lymphomas. All subtypes of NHL are staged in a similar fashion, and the most often used staging system is the Ann Arbor staging system (American Cancer Society, 2010).
[0003] Follicular Lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent lymphoma comprising approximately 20 to 25% of all newly diagnosed lymphomas (Armitage et al, 1998;
International Lymphoma Study Group, 1 97). Median survival for all subjects with FL is 7 to 1 0 years. During the past decade, the ten-year survival rate improved from 52% to 72% (Pulte et al, 2008). FL typically stains positive lor CD- 10 and also frequently expresses BCL-2 protein as a result of t( 14; 1 8). Adverse factors include greater than 4 involved nodal sites, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, older than 60 years of age, advanced stage and hemoglobin less than 12g/dL (Solal-Ccligny et al, 2004). Fcy/RI I I polymorphisms may correlate with response to riluximab, and host T cells in the microenvironment may also impact outcome (Relander et al, 201 0).
[0004] Marginal Zone Lymphomas (MZLs) are a rare, heterogeneous group of disorders consisting of extranodal MZL (MALT lymphoma), nodal MZL and splenic MZL (NCCN, 201 0). MALT lymphomas account for 5 to 7% of all NHLs and can occur in gastric or nongastric sites, with the gastric wall being the most comrhon site (1LSG, 1997; Morton et al, 2006). Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, also termed Waldenstrom's magroglobulinemia is characterized by excess lyphmoplasmacylic cells in the bone marrow, hyperproduction of immunoglobuli n M (IgM) and involvement of visceral organs, including liver and spleen (NCCN . 201 0).
[0005] Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Smal l Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL accounts for 35% of adult leukemias and has a variable natural history with survival times of 2 to 20 years (ACS, 2010). It is a B-cell monoclonal disorder characterized by a progressive accumulation of functionally incompetent lymphocytes in the bone marrow, peripheral blood and lymph nodes. CLL/SLL cell immunophenotypes include CD 19, CD5: CD20, CD23 expression and low levels of surface immunoglobulin. Karyotypic abnormalities and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IgVH) gene are detectable by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FI SH) in 80% of subjects and are the most predictive markers of overall disease outcome (NCCN. 201 0). The most common cytogenetic abnormality is del( 13q), and disease is relatively benign or slowly progressive. The presence of de!Q l q) is a negative prognostic factor with a median overall survival of 6 to 7 years. Likewise, a del( l 7p) is an indicator of a very poor prognosis. This subgroup has a median overal l survival of only 2 to 3 years and does not appear to have benefited from recent therapeutic advances. Subjects with a non-mutated IgVH gene tend to have steadily progressive disease and require treatment within a few years. Subjects with a mutated IgVH gene experience more indolent diseases requiring less aggressive or no treatment (Hamblin et al, 1999; Sulda, 2010).
[0006] Treatment of hematologic malignancies has advanced in recent years. For example, there are now several treatment options for indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (iNHL) (NCCN, 2010). Some types of lymphoma, however, such as mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), have aggressive patterns of progression and remain di fficul to treat. Mortality, likewise, remains high in leukemia patients with many subjects ineligible for the most effective drugs targeting specific genetic mutations.
Furthermore, treatment of relapsed and refractory ( /R) MCL remains chal lenging.
[0007] Thus, there is an ongoing need for clinically effective agents for treating hematologic malignancies.

DETAI LED DESCRIPTION
Abbreviations and Definitions
[0018) The following abbreviations and terms have the indicated meanings throughout:
Figure imgf000006_0001
Abbreviation Meaning
Figure imgf000007_0002
[0019] The symbol "-" means a single bond, "=" means a double bond. t;≡" means a triple bond. " " means a single or double bond. The symbol "JW " refers to a group on a double-bond as occupying either position on the terminus of a double bond to which the symbol is attached; that is, the geometry. E- or Z-, of the double bond is ambiguous. When a group is depicted removed from its parent formula, the " -^ " or " ^ "symbol will be used at the end of the bond which was theoretically cleaved in order to separate the group from its parent structural formula.
|0020] When chemical structures are depicted or described, unless explicitly stated otherwise, al l carbons are assumed to have hydrogen substitution to conform to a valence of four. For example, in the structure on the left-hand side of the schematic below there are nine hydrogens implied. The nine hydrogens are depicted in the right-hand structure. Sometimes a particular atom in a structure is described in textual formula as having a hydrogen or hydrogens as substitution (expressly defined hydrogen), for example, -CH2CH7-. It is understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the alorementioned descriptive techniques are common in the chemical arts to provide brevity and simplicity to description of otherwise complex structures.
Figure imgf000007_0001
[0021 ] If a group "R" is depicted as "floating" on a ring system, as for example formula:
Figure imgf000008_0001
then, unless otherwise defined, a substituent "R" may reside on any atom of the ring system, assuming replacement of a depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen from one of the ring atoms, so long as a stable structure is formed.
|0()22] If a group "R" is depicted as floating on a fused ring system, as for example in the formulae:
Figure imgf000008_0002
then, unless otherwise defined, a substituent "R" may reside on any atom of the fused ring system, assuming replacement of a depicted hydrogen (for example the -NH- in the formula above), implied hydrogen (for example as in the formula above, where the hydrogens are not shown but understood to be present), or expressly defined hydrogen (for example where in the formula above, "Z" equals =CH-) from one of the ring atoms, so long as a stable structure is formed. In the example depicted, the "R" group may reside on either the 5-membered or the 6-membered ring of the fused ring system. In the formula depicted above, when y is 2 for example, then the two "R's" may reside on any two atoms of the ring system, again assuming each replaces a depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen on the ring.
[0023] When a group "R" is depicted as existing on a ring system containing saturated carbons, as for example in the formula:
Figure imgf000008_0003
where, in this example, "y" can be more than one, assuming each replaces a currently depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen on the ring; then, unless otherwise defined, where the resulting structure is stable, two "R's" may reside on the same carbon. A simple example is when R is a methyl group; there can exist a geminal dimethyl on a carbon of the depicted ring (an "annular" carbon). I n another example, two R's on the same carbon, including that carbon, may form a ring, thus creating a spirocyclic ring (a "spirocyclyl" group) structure with the depicted ring as for example in the formula:

[0001 ] The terms "effective amount" or "pharmaceutically effective amount" or
"therapeutical ly effective amount" refer to a sufficient amount of an agent to provide the desired biological, therapeutic, and/or prophylactic result. That result can be reduction, amelioration, pal liation, lessening, delaying, and/or alleviation of one or more of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. In reference to cancer, an effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to cause a tumor to shrink and/or to decrease the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth) or to prevent or delay other unwanted cell proliferation. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to delay development. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay recurrence. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. The effective amount of the drug or composition may: (i) reduce the number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size: (i i i) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent and preferably stop cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (i.e. , slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or (vi i) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. For example, an "effective amount" for therapeutic uses is the amount of Compound A or a metabol ite thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, or a composition comprising Compound A or a metabolite thereof or a pharmaceutical ly acceptable salt thereof, required to provide a clinically signi ficant decrease in relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell Non-l-Iodgkin Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia or a slowing of progression of the refractory indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Mantle Cell Lymphoma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

General Administration
100135) In one aspect, the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising an inhibitor of PI3 and mTOR of Formula 1. optionally in combination with one or both of bendamustine and rituximab as described herein, and a pliannaceulically acceptable carrier.
or diluent. In certain other specific embodiments, administration is by the oral route. Administration of the compounds of Formula I, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in pure form or in an appropriate pharmaceutical composition in combination with one or both of bendamusline and rituximab as described herein, can be carried out via any of the accepted modes of administration or agents for serving similar utilities. Thus, the Compound of Formula I and with one or both of bendamusline and rituximab can be administered in the same or separate vehicles. Administration can be, for example, orally, nasally, parenterally (intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous), topically, transdermal ly, intravaginally, intravesically, intracistemally, or rectally. in the form of solid, semi-solid, lyophilized powder, or liquid dosage forms, such as for example, tablets, suppositories, pills, soft elastic and hard gelatin capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, or aerosols, or the like, specifical ly in unit dosage forms suitable for simple administration of precise dosages. |00136] The compositions will include a conventional pharmaceutical carrier or excipient and a Compound of Formula I as the/an active agent, optionally with one or both of bendamusline and rituximab. and, in addition, may include carriers and adjuvants, and so on.
[00137] Adj uvants include preserving, welting, suspending, sweetening, flavoring, perfuming, emulsifying, and dispensing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and anti fungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
(00138] I f desired, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention may also contain minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, pH buffering agents, antioxidants, and the like, such as, for example, citric acid, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate, butylated hydroxyioluene, etc.
|00139] The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administ ration, formulat ions in the form of tablets, pills or capsules) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especial ly for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U .S. Pal. No. 4, 107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1 ,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crossl inked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5, 145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.
[00140] Compositions suitable for parenteral injection may comprise physiologically acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions.
Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propyleneglycol, polyethyleneglycol, glycerol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions and by the use of surfactants.
[00141 ] One specific route of administration is oral, using a convenient daily dosage regimen that can be adjusted according to the degree of severity of the disease-state to be treated.
[00142] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is admixed with at least one inert customary excipient (or carrier) such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate or (a) fillers or extenders, as for example, starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders, as for example, cellulose derivatives, starch, alignates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and gum acacia, (c) humectants, as for example, glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents, as for example, agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, croscarmellose sodium, complex si licates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarders. as for example paraffin, (0 absorption accelerators, as for example, quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents, as for example, cetyl alcohol, and glycerol monostearate, magnesium stearate and the like (h) adsorbents, as for example, kaolin and bentonite, and (i) lubricants, as for example, talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sul fate, or mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents.
[00143] Solid dosage forms as described above can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coalings and others well known in the art. They may contain pacifying agents, and can also be of such composition that they release the active compound or compounds in a certain part of the intestinal tract in a delayed manner. Examples of embedded compositions that can be used are polymeric substances and waxes. The active compounds can also be in microencapsulated form, if appropriate., with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients. |00144) Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. Such dosage forms are prepared, for example, by dissolving, dispersing, etc., a compound(s) of the invention, or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and optional pharmaceutical adjuvants in a carrier, such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, ethanol and the like;
solubilizing agents and emulsifiers. as for example, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propyleneglycol,
1 ,3-butyleneglycoL dimethyl formamide: oils, in particular, cottonseed oil, groundnut oil, corn germ oil. olive oil, castor oil and sesame oil. glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethyleneglycols and fatty acid esters o sorbitan; or mixtures of these substances, and the like, to thereby form a solution or suspension.
|()0145] Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents, as for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum melahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, or mixtures of these substances, and the like.
[00146] Compositions for rectal administrations are, for example, suppositories that can be prepared by mixing the compounds of the present invention with for example suitable non- irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethyleneglycol or a suppository wax, which are solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at body temperature and therefore, melt while in a suitable body cavity and release the active component therein.
[00147] Dosage forms for topical administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, powders, sprays, and inhalants. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a physiologically acceptable carrier and any preservatives, buffers, or propellants as may be required. Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders, and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention.
[00148] Compressed gases may be used to disperse a compound of this invention in aerosol form. Inert gases suitable for this purpose are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.
[00149] Generally, depending on the intended mode of administration, the
pharmaceutically acceptable compositions will contain about 1 % to about 99% by weight of a compound(s) of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and 99% to 1 % by weight of a suitable pharmaceutical excipienl. In one example, the composition will be between about 5% and about 75% by weight of a compound(s) of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with the rest being suitable pharmaceutical excipients.
[001501 Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known, or will be apparent, to those skilled in this art: for example, see Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1 8th Ed., (Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1 90). The composition to be administered will, in any event, contain an effective amount of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for treatment of a disease-state in accordance with .the teachings of this invention.
[001511 In the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, the compounds of Formula I, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates, are administered in an effective amount which will vary depending upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of the compound, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular disease-states, and the host undergoing therapy. The compounds of Formula I can be administered to a patient at dosage levels in the range of about 0.1 to about 1 ,000 mg per day. For a normal human adult having a body weight of about 70 kilograms, a dosage in the range of about 0.01 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day is an example. The speci fic dosage used, however, can vary. For example, the dosage can depend on a number of factors including the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the pharmacological activity of the compound being used. The determination of optimum dosages for a particular patient is well known to one of ordinary skill in the art. If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the dosage range described above and the other pharmaceutical ly active agent( s) within approved dosage ranges. Compounds of Formula 1 may alternatively be used sequentially with known pharmaceutically acceptable agent(s) when a combination formulation is inappropriate.
[00152] I n some embodiments, the effective amount produces at least one therapeutic effect selected from the group consisting of reduction in size of a tumor, reduction in metastasis, complete remission, partial remission, stable disease, increase in overall response rate, or a pathologic complete response. In some embodiments, the effective amount produces an improved clinical benefit rate (CBR = CR (complete remission) + PR (partial remission) + SD (stable disease) > 6 months) as compared to treatment with bendamustine or rituximab administered without Compound A. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is about 20% or higher. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or more. In some embodiments, the therapeutic effect is an increase in overall response rate. In some embodiments, the increase in overall response rate is about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% or more.

In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 20%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 30%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 40%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 50%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 60%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 70%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is al least about 80%.
[00154] In some embodiments, a comparable clinical benefit rate (CBR = CR (complete remission) + PR (partial remission) + SD (stable disease) > 6 months) is obtained with treatment of a) Compound A or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and either (b) bendamustine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or (c) rituximab or (d) a combination of bendamustine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and rituximab. as compared to treatment with bendamustine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or rituximab or a combination of bendamustine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and rituximab, administered without Compound A. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 20%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 30%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 40%. In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 50%.

In some embodiments, the improvement of clinical benefit rate is at least about 80%. General Synthesis
[00155] Compounds of this invention can be made by the synthetic procedures described below. The starting materials and reagents used in preparing these compounds are either available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee. Wis.), or Bachem (Torrance, Calif ), or are prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art following procedures set forth in references such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis. Volumes 1 -17 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991 ); Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1 -5 and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989); Organic Reactions, Volumes 1 -40 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991 ), March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley and Sons, 4,h Edition) and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989). These schemes are merely illustrative of some methods by which the compounds of this invention can be synthesized, and various modifications to these schemes can be made and will be suggested to one skilled in the art having referred to this disclosure. The starting materials and the intermediates of the reaction may be isolated and purified if desired using conventional techniques, including but not limited to filtration, distillation, crystallization, chromatography and the like. Such materials may be characterized using conventional means, including physical constants and spectral data.
[00156] Unless specified to the contrary, the reactions described herein take place at atmospheric pressure and over a temperature range from about -78 °C to about 1 50 °C, more specifically from about 0 UC. to about 125 "C and more specifically at about room (or ambient) temperature, e.g., about 20 °C. Unless otherwise stated (as in the case of an hydrogenation), all reactions are performed under an atmosphere of nitrogen.
[00157] Prodrugs can be prepared by techniques known to one skilled in the art. These techniques generally modify appropriate functional groups in a given compound. These modified functional groups regenerate original functional groups by routine manipulation or in vivo. Amides and esters of the compounds of the present invention may be prepared according to conventional methods. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Miguchi and V. Stella, "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems," Vol 14 of the A.C.S.
Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. [00158 j The compounds of the invention., or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, may have asymmetric carbon atoms or quaternized nitrogen atoms in their structure. Compounds of Formula 1 that may be prepared through the syntheses described herein may exist as single stereoisomers, racemates, and as mixtures of enanliomers and diastereomers. The compounds may also exist as geometric isomers. All such single stereoisomers, racemates and mixtures thereof, and geometric isomers are intended to be within the scope of this invention. Some of the compounds of the invention may exist as tautomers. For example, where a ketone or aldehyde is present, the molecule may exist in the enol form; where an amide is present, the molecule may exist as the imidic acid; and where an enamine is present, the molecule may exist as an imine. All such tautomers are within the scope of the invention. In particular. imidazol-5-yl and pyrazol-5-yl each can also exist in their respective tautomeric forms imidazol-4-yl and pyrazol-3-yl. Regardless of which structure or which terminology is used, each tautomer is included within the scope of the Invention.
[00159] The present invention also includes N-oxide derivatives and protected derivatives of compounds of Formula 1. For example, when compounds of Formula I contain an oxidizable nitrogen atom, the nitrogen atom can be converted to an N-oxide by methods well known in the art. When compounds of Formula I contain groups such as hydroxy, carboxy, thiol or any group containing a nitrogen atom(s), these groups can be protected with a suitable "protecting group" or "protective group'*. A comprehensive list of suitable protective groups can be found in T.W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1991 . the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by re ference in its entirety. The protected derivatives of compounds of Formula I can be prepared by methods well known in the art.
[00160] Methods for the preparation and/or separation and isolation of single
stereoisomers from racemic mixtures or non-racemic mixtures of stereoisomers are well known in the art. For example, optically active (R)- and (S)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. Enanliomers (R- and S-isomers) may be resolved by methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, for example by: formation of diastereoisomcric salts or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; via formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-speci llc reagent, for example enzymatic oxidation or reduction, followed by separation of the modi fied and unmodified enantiomers; or gas-liquid or liquid
chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support, such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where a desired enantiomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step may be required to liberate the desired
enantiomeric form. Alternatively, speci fic enantiomer may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents or by converting on enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation. For a mixture of enantiomers, enriched in a particular enantiomer. the major componeiu enanliomer may be further enriched (with concomitant loss in yield) by recryslallization.
[00161 ] In addition, the compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, and the like. In general, the solvated forms are considered equivalent to the unsolvated forms for the purposes of the present invention.
[00162] The chemistry for the preparation of the compounds of this invention is known to those skilled in the art. In fact, there may be more than one process to prepare the compounds of the invention. For specific examples, see M. Barvian et al. .1. Med. Chem. 2000, 43. 4606- 4616; S. N. VanderWei et al. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 2371 -2387; P. L. Toogood et al. J. Med. Chem. 2005, 48, 2388-2406; J. Kasparec et al. Tetrahedron Letters 2003, 4.4, 4567- 4570; and references cited therein.

(00164] To a solution of" commercially available 2-methyl-2-thiopseudourea sulfate in a solvent such as water is added a base such as sodium carbonate and an intermediate of formula 10 at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred for overnight or less. After neutralizing, intermediate 11 is collected through filtration and followed by drying under vacuum. Intermediate 11 is then treated with POCI3 and the reaction is heated to reflux for approximately 2 h and then concentrated under vacuum to dryness. Intermediate 1 can be used directly in the next reaction without further purification.
[001 5] An intermediate of formula 2 is prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula 1 with a primary amine Rl H2 in a solvent such as water and with heating.

After completion the residue is triturated with acetone. The intermediate 3 is then reacted in a solvent, such as DMA, with ethyl acrylate in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, and in the presence of a catalyst, such as Pd(OAc)?, and (+)BINAP. The reaction is heated to approximately 100 °C and allowed to react for approximately overnight or less as needed for the reaction to go to completion to form intermediate 4. Intermediated is then optionally purified by column chromatography.

[001 67] Intermediate 6 is prepared by reacting intermediate 5 with a brominating agent such as Bi'2 in a solvent such as DCM at room temperature. The reaction mixture is then stirred for approximately overnight. The resulting product is filtered and then suspended in a solvent such as DCM and treated with a base such as triethylamine. The mixture is then washed with water and dried over a drying agent such as a^SC^ to yield intermediate 6.
[00168] A Suzuki coupling is then performed using intermediate 6 and a boronic acid (or ester) of formula R B(OH)2 in a solvent(s) such as a DME-HiO mixture in the presence of a catalyst such as Pd(dppp ) and a base such as triethylamine at room temperature. The reaction mixture is heated to rellux for approximately 4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is partitioned with water and ethyl acetate. After separation, the organic layer is dried over a drying agent such as aiSOj to yield intermediate 7.
[00169] The methylthio group of intermediate 7 is then oxidized with /;/-CPBA in a solvent such as DCM at room temperature allowing to stir for approximately 4 h. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the product is treated with an amine of formula R2Nl h in a solvent such as dioxane and stirred at room temperature for
approximately overnight to yield a Compound of Formula I.

(00171 ] An intermediate of formula 9 is prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula 8 with neat POC and heating. 9 is then treated with a primary amine R' H? in a solvent such as water or TI 1F and triethylamine at 0 °C to form 10. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the intermediate 10 is then reacted with lithium aluminum hydride in a solvent such as THF at 0 °C. After quenching and aqueous workup, solvent removal provided crystalline 11 without further purification. Treatment of 1 1 with manganese (II) dioxide in a solvent such as methylene chloride or clilorolbrm at room temperature provided aldehyde 12 upon filtration and solvent removal. A Wittig reaction with aldehyde 12 can be employed with (carbethoxymethylene)triphenylphosphorane in refiuxing THF to provides the common intermediate 4. 4 can then be used to prepare a Compound of Formula I using the procedures described in Scheme 1 .

After completion the residue is triturated with acetone. The intermediate 15 is then reacted in a solvent, such as DMA, with ethyl acrylate in the presence of a base, such as triethylamine, and in the presence of a catalyst, such as Pd(OAc)2, and (+)BINAP. The reaction is heated to approximately 100 °C and allowed to react for approximately overnight or less as needed for the reaction to go to completion to form 1 . 16 is then optionally purified by column chromatography. A Compound of Formula 1 can then be prepared from 16 by using the same reaction conditions as described in Scheme 1 (starting at the point of the preparation of 5 from 4).

|00175] An intermediate of formula 20 is prepared by reacting an intermediate of formula 19 with neat POCI3 and heating. 20 is then treated with a primary amine R ' TK in a solvent such as water or THF and triethylamine at 0 UC to form 21. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the intermediate 21 is then reacted with lithium aluminum hydride in a solvent such as THF at 0 °C. After quenching and aqueous workup, solvent removal provides crystalline 22 without further purification. Treatment of 22 with manganese (II) dioxide in a solvent such as methylene chloride or chloroform at room temperature provides aldehyde 23 upon filtration and solvent removal. A Knovenegal-type condensation with 23 and an arylacetonitrile in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate or sodium hydroxide in a protic solvent provides the cyclized imine 24. Acetylation of the imine with acetic anhydride is required prior to hydrolysis, which takes place in the presence of aqueous acid and heating to afford 25. Subsequently, 25 can be oxidized to the corresponding sulfone with w-CPBA at room temperature and displaced with ammonium to provide I .

[00177| To evaluate the antitumor activity of Bendamustine in combination with the dual pan-PI3K / mTOR inhibitor Compound A, experiments were conducted using female SCID mice bearing human WSU-DLC L2 xenografts. In this study, Bendamustine at 3.5 and 7 mg/kg was tested in combination with Compound A at 20 mg/kg.
Materials and methods 1001781 CB 1 7/lCR-Prkdc severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) /Crl mice, at 8- 1 0 weeks old, were bred at Charles River France (Domai e des Oncins, 69210 L'Arbresle, France) from strains obtained from Charles River. USA. ivlice were over 1 8 g at start of treatment after an accl imatization time of at least 5 days. They had free access to food (UAR reference 1 13, Villemoisson, 91 1 60 Epinay sur Orgc. France) and sterile water. They were housed on a 12 hours light/dark cycle. Environmental conditions including animal maintenance, room temperature (22°C ± 2°C), relative humidity (55% ± 1 %) and lighting times were recorded by the supervisor of laboratory animal sciences and welfare (LASW) and the records are archived.
(00179] The human WSU-DLCL2 tumor model was established by implanting (SC) small tumor fragments and was maintained in SCI D female mice using serial passages.
|00180] Bendamusline formulation was. repared by incorporating the compound into NaCl 0.9% at pH 3. The preparation was prepared daily prior administratin. The volume of IP administration per mouse was 10 mL/kg.
[00181 ] Compound A formulations were prepared in I N HC1 and water for injection, final pH was 3, followed by five cycles of vortexing and sonicating. The stock solution was chemically stable 7 days in the dark at 4°C. The volume of PO administration per mouse was 10 mL/kg.
|00182 | For subcutaneous implantation of tumor cells, skin in the flank of the mice was disinfected using alcohol or Betadine® solution (Alcyon) and a suspension of tumor cel ls was inoculated SC unilaterally under a volume of 0.2 mL using a 23 G needle.
[00183] The dosages and schedule of administration of Bendamustine and Compound A used as single agent or in combination are described in the results section and detailed in the tables that follow.
[00184 | The animals required to begin a given experiment were pooled and implanted monolaterally on day 0. Treatments were administered on measurable tumors. The solid tumors were al lowed to grow to the desired volume range (animals with tumors not in the desired range were excluded). The mice were then pooled and unselectively distributed to the various treatment and control groups. Treatment started 20 days post WSU-DLCL2 tumor fragment implantation as indicated in the results section and in each table. The dosages are expressed in mg/kg, based on the body weight at start of therapy. Mice were checked daily, and adverse clinical reactions noted. Each group of mice was weighed as a whole daily until the weight nadir was reached. Then, groups were weighed once to thrice weekly until the end of the experiment. Tumors were measured with a calliper 2 to 3 times weekly until final sacrifice for sampling time, tumor reached 2000 mm3 or until the animal died (whichever comes first). Solid tumor volumes were estimated from .two-dimensional tumor
measurements and calculated according to the following equation:
1001851 Tumor weight (mg) = Length (mm) x Width2 (mm2)/2
[001861 The day of death was recorded. Surviving animals were sacrificed and macroscopic examination of the thoracic and abdominal cavities was performed.
[00187] A dosage producing a 1 5% body weight loss (BWL) during three consecutive days (mean of group). 20% BWL during 1 day or 10% or more drug deaths was considered an excessively toxic dosage. Animal body weights included the tumor weight.
[00188] The primary efficacy end points are ΔΤ/ΔΟ, percent median regression, partial and complete regressions (PR and CR).
[00189] Changes in tumor volume for each treated (T) and control (C) group were calculated for each tumor by subtracting the tumor volume on the day of first treatment (staging day) from the tumor volume on the specified observation day. The median ΔΤ is calculated for the treated group, and the median AC is calculated for the control group. Then the ratio ΔΤ/ΔΟ is calculated and expressed as a percentage. The dose is considered as therapeutically active when AT/AC is lower than 40% and very active when ΔΤ/ΔΟ is lower than 10%. If ΔΤ/ΔΟ is equal to or lower than 0, the dose is considered as highly active. |00190| Partial regression: Regressions are defined as partial if the tumor volume decreases to 50 % of the tumor volume at the start of treatment.
[00191 ] Complete regression: The CR is achieved when tumor volume = 0 mm3 (CR is considered when tumor volume cannot be recorded).
[00192J The term "therapeutic synergy" is used when the combination of two products at given doses is more efficacious than the best of the two products alone considering the same doses. In order to study therapeutic synergy, each combination was compared to the best single agent using estimates obtained from a two-way analysis of variance with repeated measurements (Time factor) on parameter tumor volume.
|00193] Statistical analyses were performed on SAS system release 8.2 for SUN4 via Everstat V5 software and SAS 9.2 software. A probability less than 5% (p<0.05) was considered as significant.
Results
|00194] The median tumor burden at start of therapy was 1 50 to 1 76 mm'. As single agents, Compound A (20 mg/kg/adm) was administered daily from days 20 to 3 1 post tumor implantation, and Bendamusline (3.5 and 7 mg/kg/adm) was administered daily from days 20 to 25. In the combination groups, the doses of Compound A and Bendamustine were administered as shown in Table 1 .
[00195] Compound A and Bendamustine as single agents or used in combination were tolerated (Table 2 and Figure 1 ). In Table 2, one mouse was excluded from the study on days 28 and 3 1 (due to unreliable tumor measurement). As single agents, Bendamustine (3.5 and 7 mg/kg) and Compound A were inactive (AT/AC > 40) (Table 1 and Figure 2) under these conditions. In combination, treatment with Bendamustine at 7 mg kg and Compound A was active (AT/AC = 33 on day 31 ) and induced 1 PR and as shown, by Table 2. therapeutic synergy was reached (p = 0.001 8 for global analysis). See also Table 3.
