Definitions

  • Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological interest, as components of transcription factor complexes and determinants of epigenetic memory.
  • the bromo and extra terminal (BET) protein family e.g., bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2), bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), and bromodomain testis- specific protein (BRDT)
  • BET bromo and extra terminal
  • BET bromodomain-containing protein 2
  • BTD3 bromodomain-containing protein 3
  • BTD4 bromodomain-containing protein 4
  • BRDT bromodomain testis-specific protein
  • BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associate with histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved in facilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al., Mol. Cell. 2008, 30, 51-60). It has also been reported that BRD4 or BRD3 may fuse with nuclear protein in testis (NUT), forming novel fusion oncogenes BRD4-NUT or BRD3-NUT, in a highly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia (French et al, Cancer Res., 2003, 63, 304-307; French et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2004, 22, 4135- 4139).
  • BRD-NUT fusion proteins contribute to carcinogenesis (French et al., Oncogene 2008, 27, 2237-2242).
  • BRDT is uniquely expressed in the testes and ovary. All family members of BET have been reported to have some function in controlling or executing aspects of the cell cycle and have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during cell division, suggesting a role in the maintenance of epigenetic memory.
  • some viruses make use of BET proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part of the process of viral replication (You et al., Cell 2004, 117, 349-360).
  • BRD4 appears to be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-b complex to inducible genes, resulting in phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output (Hargreaves et ah , Cell 2009, 138, 129-145). In humans, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT exhibit similar gene arrangements, domain organizations, and some functional properties (Wu et ah , J. Biol.

[0003] Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological interest, as components of transcription factor complexes and determinants of epigenetic memory. For example, the bromo and extra terminal (BET) protein family (e.g., bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2), bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3), bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), and bromodomain testis- specific protein (BRDT)) shares a common domain architecture featuring two amino-terminal bromodomains that exhibit high levels of sequence conservation, and a more divergent carboxy-terminal recruitment domain
(Filippakopoulos et al, Nature 2010, 468, 1067-1073). BRD2 and BRD3 are reported to associate with histones along actively transcribed genes and may be involved in facilitating transcriptional elongation (Leroy et al., Mol. Cell. 2008, 30, 51-60). It has also been reported that BRD4 or BRD3 may fuse with nuclear protein in testis (NUT), forming novel fusion oncogenes BRD4-NUT or BRD3-NUT, in a highly malignant form of epithelial neoplasia (French et al, Cancer Res., 2003, 63, 304-307; French et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 2004, 22, 4135- 4139). Data suggests that BRD-NUT fusion proteins contribute to carcinogenesis (French et al., Oncogene 2008, 27, 2237-2242). BRDT is uniquely expressed in the testes and ovary. All family members of BET have been reported to have some function in controlling or executing aspects of the cell cycle and have been shown to remain in complex with chromosomes during cell division, suggesting a role in the maintenance of epigenetic memory. In addition, some viruses make use of BET proteins to tether their genomes to the host cell chromatin, as part of the process of viral replication (You et al., Cell 2004, 117, 349-360). BRD4 appears to be involved in the recruitment of the pTEF-b complex to inducible genes, resulting in phosphorylation of RNA polymerase and increased transcriptional output (Hargreaves et ah , Cell 2009, 138, 129-145). In humans, BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT exhibit similar gene arrangements, domain organizations, and some functional properties (Wu et ah , J. Biol.
Chem. 2007, 282, 13141- 13145).

[0065] The term "leaving group" is given its ordinary meaning in the art of synthetic organic chemistry and refers to an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. See, for example, Smith, March Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Examples of suitable leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halogen (such as F, CI, Br, or I (iodine)), alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy,
arenesulfonyloxy, alkyl-carbonyloxy (e.g., acetoxy), arylcarbonyloxy, aryloxy, methoxy, N,O-dimethylhydroxylamino, pixyl, and haloformates. In some cases, the leaving group is a sulfonic acid ester, such as toluenesulfonate (tosylate, -OTs), methanesulfonate (mesylate, - OMs), /?-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy (brosylate, -OBs), -OS(=0)2(CF2)3CF3 (nonaflate, - ONf), or trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, -OTf). In some cases, the leaving group is a brosylate, such as p-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some cases, the leaving group is a nosylate, such as 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some embodiments, the leaving group is a sulfonate-containing group. In some embodiments, the leaving group is a tosylate group. The leaving group may also be a phosphineoxide (e.g., formed during a Mitsunobu reaction) or an internal leaving group such as an epoxide or cyclic sulfate. Other non-limiting examples of leaving groups are water, ammonia, alcohols, ether moieties, thioether moieties, zinc halides, magnesium moieties, diazonium salts, and copper moieties. Additional exemplary leaving groups include, but are not limited to, activated substituted hydroxyl groups (e.g., - OC(=0)SRaa, -OC(=0)Raa, -OC02Raa, -OC(=0)N(Rbb)2, -OC(=NRbb)Raa, - OC(=NRbb)ORaa, -OC(=NRbb)N(Rbb)2, -OS(=0)Raa, -OS02Raa, -OP(Rcc)2, -OP(Rcc)3, - OP(=0)2Raa, -OP(=0)(Raa)2, -OP(=0)(ORcc)2, -OP(=0)2N(R )2, and -OP(=0)(NR )2, wherein Raa, Rbb, and Rcc are as defined herein).
[0066] The disclosure is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.
[0067] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. , describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate,
ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N+(Ci^ alkyl)4 ~ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
[0068] The term "solvate" refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include
pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non- stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates.
Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0069] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H20, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R-0.5 H20)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R-2 H20) and hexahydrates (R-6 H20)).
[0070] The term "tautomers" or "tautomeric" refers to two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam- to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations.
[0071] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers".
[0072] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed
"diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".
[0073] The term "polymorphs" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
[0074] The term "prodrugs" refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein, which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. Ci-Cg alkyl, C2-Cg alkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, aryl, C7-C12 substituted aryl, and C7-C12 arylalkyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.
[0075] The term "small molecule" refers to molecules, whether naturally- occurring or artificially created (e.g., via chemical synthesis) that have a relatively low molecular weight. Typically, a small molecule is an organic compound (i.e., it contains carbon). The small molecule may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other functional groups (e.g., amines, hydroxyl, carbonyls, and heterocyclic rings, etc.). In certain
embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at most about 1,000 g/mol, at most about 900 g/mol, at most about 800 g/mol, at most about 700 g/mol, at most about 600 g/mol, at most about 500 g/mol, at most about 400 g/mol, at most about 300 g/mol, at most about 200 g/mol, or at most about 100 g/mol. In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at least about 100 g/mol, at least about 200 g/mol, at least about 300 g/mol, at least about 400 g/mol, at least about 500 g/mol, at least about 600 g/mol, at least about 700 g/mol, at least about 800 g/mol, or at least about 900 g/mol, or at least about 1,000 g/mol. Combinations of the above ranges (e.g. , at least about 200 g/mol and at most about 500 g/mol) are also possible. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a therapeutically active agent such as a drug (e.g., a molecule approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration as provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)). The small molecule may also be complexed with one or more metal atoms and/or metal ions. Preferred small molecules are biologically active in that they produce a biological effect in animals, preferably mammals, more preferably humans. Small molecules include, but are not limited to, radionuclides and imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a drug. Preferably, though not necessarily, the drug is one that has already been deemed safe and effective for use in humans or animals by the appropriate governmental agency or regulatory body. For example, drugs approved for human use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 330.5, 331 through 361, and 440 through 460, incorporated herein by reference; drugs for veterinary use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 500 through 589, incorporated herein by reference. All listed drugs are considered acceptable for use in accordance with the present disclosure.
[0076] A "protein," "peptide," or "polypeptide" comprises a polymer of amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds and refers to proteins, polypeptides, and peptides of any size, structure, or function. Typically, a protein will be at least three amino acids long. A protein may refer to an individual protein or a collection of proteins. Proteins described herein preferably contain only natural amino acids, although non-natural amino acids (i.e., compounds that do not occur in nature but that can be incorporated into a polypeptide chain) and/or amino acid analogs as are known in the art may alternatively be employed. Also, one or more of the amino acids in a protein may be modified, for example, by the addition of a chemical entity such as a carbohydrate group, a hydroxyl group, a phosphate group, a farnesyl group, an isofarnesyl group, a fatty acid group, a linker for conjugation or functionalization, or other modification. A protein may also be a single molecule or may be a multi-molecular complex. A protein may be a fragment of a naturally occurring protein or peptide. A protein may be naturally occurring, recombinant, synthetic, or any combination of these. [0077] The term "gene" refers to a nucleic acid fragment that expresses a specific protein, including regulatory sequences preceding (5 ' non-coding sequences) and following (3' non- coding sequences) the coding sequence. "Native gene" refers to a gene as found in nature with its own regulatory sequences. "Chimeric gene" or "chimeric construct" refers to any gene or a construct, not a native gene, comprising regulatory and coding sequences that are not found together in nature. Accordingly, a chimeric gene or chimeric construct may comprise regulatory sequences and coding sequences that are derived from different sources, or regulatory sequences and coding sequences derived from the same source, but arranged in a manner different than that found in nature. "Endogenous gene" refers to a native gene in its natural location in the genome of an organism. A "foreign" gene refers to a gene not normally found in the host organism, but which is introduced into the host organism by gene transfer. Foreign genes can comprise native genes inserted into a non-native organism, or chimeric genes. A "transgene" is a gene that has been introduced into the genome by a transformation procedure.
[0078] The term "histone" refers to highly alkaline proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei that package and order DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. They are the chief protein components of chromatin, acting as spools around which DNA winds, and play a role in gene regulation. In certain embodiments, the histone is histone HI (e.g., histone H1F, histone H1H1). In certain embodiments, the histone is histone H2A (e.g. , histone H2AF, histone H2A1, histone H2A2).

[0080] The term "bromodomain-containing protein" or "bromodomain protein" refers to a protein, whether wild-type or mutant, natural or synthetic, truncated or complete, or a variant thereof, that possesses the minimum amino acid sequence sufficient for a functional bromodomain capable of mediating molecular recognition of acetylated lysine residues on a second protein (e.g. , a histone), such as on the tails of histones. Bromodomain-containing proteins include, for example, fusion proteins comprising a bromodomain and an additional portion having a desired functionality (e.g., a reporter portion).
[0081] The term "inhibition", "inhibiting", "inhibit," or "inhibitor" refer to the ability of a compound to reduce, slow, halt or prevent activity of a particular biological process (e.g., activity of a bromodomain and/or a bromodomain-containing protein) in a cell relative to vehicle.
[0082] When a compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit is referred to as "selectively," "specifically," or "competitively" binding a first protein or a first chromatin, the compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit binds the first protein or the first chromatin with a higher binding affinity (e.g. , not less than about 2-fold, not less than about 5-fold, not less than about 10-fold, not less than about 30-fold, not less than about 100- fold, not less than about 1,000-fold, or not less than about 10,000-fold) than binding a second protein or second chromatin that is different from the first protein and the first chromatin. When a compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit is referred to as
"selectively," "specifically," or "competitively" modulating (e.g., increasing or inhibiting) the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein, the compound, pharmaceutical composition, method, use, or kit modulates the activity of the bromodomain-containing protein to a greater extent (e.g., not less than about 2-fold, not less than about 5-fold, not less than about 10-fold, not less than about 30-fold, not less than about 100-fold, not less than about 1,000-fold, or not less than about 10,000-fold) than the activity of at least one protein that is different from the bromodomain-containing protein.

[0086] The terms "administer," "administering," or "administration" refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein, or a composition thereof, in or on a subject.
[0087] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g. , in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay and/or prevent recurrence. [0088] The terms "condition," "disease," and "disorder" are used interchangeably.
[0089] An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response, i.e., treating the condition. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound described herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a prophylactically effective treatment. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the amount of a compound or pharmaceutical composition described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the combined amounts of a compound or pharmaceutical composition described herein in multiple doses.
[0090] A "therapeutically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the condition. The term "therapeutically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of the condition, and/or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
[0091] A "prophylactically effective amount" of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to prevent a condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the condition or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the condition. The term "prophylactically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.
[0092] A "proliferative disease" refers to a disease that occurs due to abnormal growth or extension by the multiplication of cells (Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of Biology;
Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990). A proliferative disease may be associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent cells; 2) the pathological migration of cells from their normal location {e.g., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as the matrix
metalloproteinases {e.g., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the pathological angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative diseases include cancers (i.e. , "malignant neoplasms"), benign neoplasms, pathological angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
[0093] The term "angiogenesis" refers to the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the de novo formation of endothelial cells from mesoderm cell precursors. The first vessels in a developing embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which angiogenesis is responsible for most blood vessel growth during normal or abnormal development.
Angiogenesis is a vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue. However, angiogenesis is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one, leading to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. Angiogenesis may be chemically stimulated by angiogenic proteins, such as growth factors (e.g., VEGF). "Pathological angiogenesis" refers to abnormal (e.g., excessive or insufficient) angiogenesis that amounts to and/or is associated with a disease.
[0094] The terms "neoplasm" and "tumor" are used interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be "benign" or "malignant," depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A "benign neoplasm" is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain "benign" tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor' s neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as "pre-malignant neoplasms." An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a "malignant neoplasm" is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term "metastasis," "metastatic," or "metastasize" refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a "secondary tumor" or "secondary cell mass" of the tissue type of the primary or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to be metastasized prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.
[0095] The term "cancer" refers to a malignant neoplasm (Stedman 's Medical Dictionary, 25th ed.; Hensyl ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990).

[0097] An "autoimmune disease" refers to a disease arising from an inappropriate immune response of the body of a subject against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. , in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. , Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and kidney).

[0099] The term "metabolic disorder" refers to any disorder that involves an alteration in the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, or a combination thereof. A metabolic disorder is associated with either a deficiency or excess in a metabolic pathway resulting in an imbalance in metabolism of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and/or carbohydrates. Factors affecting metabolism include, and are not limited to, the endocrine (hormonal) control system (e.g., the insulin pathway, the enteroendocrine hormones including GLP-1, PYY or the like), the neural control system (e.g. , GLP- 1 in the brain), or the like. Examples of metabolic disorders include, but are not limited to, diabetes (e.g. , Type I diabetes, Type II diabetes, gestational diabetes), hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and obesity.
[00100] A "kinase" is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from high energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific substrates, referred to as phosphorylation. Kinases are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. One of the largest groups of kinases are protein kinases, which act on and modify the activity of specific proteins. Kinases are used extensively to transmit signals and control complex processes in cells. Various other kinases act on small molecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, and nucleotides, either for signaling or to prime them for metabolic pathways. Kinases are often named after their substrates. More than 500 different protein kinases have been identified in humans. These exemplary human protein kinases include, but are not limited to, AAK1, ABL, ACK, ACTR2, ACTR2B, AKT1, AKT2, AKT3, ALK, ALK1, ALK2, ALK4, ALK7, AMPKal, AMPKa2, ANKRD3, ANPa, ANPb, ARAF, ARAFps, ARG, AurA, AurApsl, AurAps2, AurB, AurBpsl, AurC, AXL, BARK1, BARK2, BIKE, BLK, BMPR1A, BMPRlApsl, BMPRlAps2, BMPR1B, BMPR2, BMX, BRAF, BRAFps, BRK, BRSK1, BRSK2, BTK, BUB 1, BUBR1, CaMKla, CaMKlb, CaMKld, CaMKlg, CaMK2a, CaMK2b, CaMK2d, CaMK2g, CaMK4, CaMKKl, CaMKK2, caMLCK, CASK, CCK4, CCRK, CDC2, CDC7, CDK10, CDK11, CDK2, CDK3, CDK4, CDK4ps, CDK5, CDK5ps, CDK6, CDK7, CDK7ps, CDK8, CDK8ps, CDK9, CDKL1, CDKL2, CDKL3, CDKL4, CDKL5, CGDps, CHED, CHK1, CHK2, CHK2psl, CHK2ps2, CKla, CKla2, CKlapsl, CKlaps2, CKlaps3, CKld, CKle, CKlgl, CKlg2, CKlg2ps, CKlg3, CK2al, CK2al-rs, CK2a2, CLIK1, CLIK1L, CLK1, CLK2, CLK2ps, CLK3, CLK3ps, CLK4, COT, CRIK, CRK7, CSK, CTK, CYGD, CYGF, DAPK1, DAPK2, DAPK3, DCAMKL1, DCAMKL2, DCAMKL3, DDR1, DDR2, DLK, DMPKl, DMPK2, DRAKl, DRAK2, DYRKIA, DYRKIB, DYRK2, DYRK3, DYRK4, EGFR, EphAl, EphAlO, EphA2, EphA3, EphA4, EphA5, EphA6, EphA7, EphA8, EphBl, EphB2, EphB3, EphB4, EphB6, Erkl, Erk2, Erk3, Erk3psl, Erk3ps2, Erk3ps3, Erk3ps4, Erk4, Erk5, Erk7, FAK, FER, FERps, FES, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, FGR, FLT1, FLTlps, FLT3, FLT4, FMS, FRK, Fused, FYN, GAK, GCK, GCN2, GCN22, GPRK4, GPRK5, GPRK6, GPRK6ps, GPRK7, GSK3A, GSK3B, Haspin, HCK,

[00101] Recently, compounds have been reported to be bromodomain binding agents, e.g., international PCT publications WO 2012/075383, WO 2011/054553, WO 2011/054841, WO 2011/054844, WO 2011/054845, WO 2011/054846, WO 2011/054848, WO 2011/143669, and WO 2011/161031. Moreover, Japanese patent application publication JP 2008/156311 discloses a benzimidazole derivative that is a BRD2 bromodomain binding agent and has been found useful in treating viral infections and inhibiting viral replication. International PCT publication WO 2009/084693 discloses a series of thienotriazolodiazepine derivatives that inhibit the binding between an acetylated histone and a bromodomain-containing protein which are useful as anti-cancer agents. International PCT publication WO 2011/054843 suggests compounds which inhibit the binding of a bromodomain with its cognate acetylated proteins may be useful in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, there remains a need for additional potent and safe bromodomain binders.
[00102] The present disclosure provides compounds of Formula (I), which bind bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins. The compounds described herein may be able to bind in a pocket of a bromodomain (e.g. , a bromodomain of a bromodomain- containing protein). Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the compounds described herein may bind in the pocket of a bromodomain by mimicking the contact between an acetylated lysine residue of a second protein (e.g., a histone) and the binding pocket. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein bind in the pocket of the bromodomain. The compound described herein may also modulate (e.g., inhibit) the activity of a bromodomain and/or bromodomain-containing protein. Also provided in the present disclosure are pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits useful in modulating (e.g., inhibiting) the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., a transcription factor). The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits may be useful in treating and/or preventing diseases associated with a bromodomain, diseases associated with a bromodomain-containing protein, diseases associated with the activity (e.g., aberrant activity) of a bromodomain, and diseases associated with the activity (e.g., aberrant activity) of a bromodomain-containing protein. Exemplary diseases that maybe prevented and/or treated with compounds described herein include proliferative diseases (e.g. , cancers, benign neoplasms, pathological angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases), autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning. The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, methods, uses, and kits may also be useful for male
contraception and for preventing and/or treating a viral infection (e.g. , by inhibiting the replication of a virus, by killing a virus).

This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[00204] The present disclosure provides methods for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, such as diseases associated with bromodomains, diseases associated with the activity {e.g., aberrant activity) of bromodomains, diseases associated with bromodomain- containing proteins, and disease associated with the activity {e.g., aberrant activity ) of bromodomain-containing proteins. Exemplary diseases include, but are not limited to, proliferative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning. Also provided by the present disclosure are methods for male contraception. The present disclosure also provides methods of inhibiting sperm formation. The present disclosure further provides methods of inhibiting the activity {e.g., aberrant activity, such as increased activity) of a bromodomain or bromodomain-containing protein, methods of inhibiting the binding of a bromodomain of a bromodomain-containing protein to an acetyl-lysine residue of a second protein {e.g., a histone), methods of modulating {e.g., inhibiting) the transcriptional elongation, methods of modulating {e.g., down-regulating or inhibiting) the expression {e.g., transcription) of a gene that is regulated by a bromodomain-containing protein, methods of inducing apoptosis, and methods of inducing Gl arrest.
[00205] Gene regulation is fundamentally governed by reversible, non-covalent assembly of macromolecules. Signal transduction to RNA polymerase requires higher-ordered protein complexes, spatially regulated by assembly factors capable of interpreting the post- translational modification states of chromatin. Epigenetic readers are structurally diverse proteins, and each of the epigenetic readers possesses one or more evolutionarily conserved effector modules, which recognize covalent modifications of proteins {e.g., histones) or DNA. The ε-Ν-acetylation of lysine residues (Kac) on histone tails is associated with an open chromatin architecture and transcriptional activation. Context- specific molecular recognition of acetyl-lysine is principally mediated by bromodomains.
[00206] Bromodomain-containing proteins are of substantial biological interest, as components of transcription factor complexes {e.g., TBP (TATA box binding protein)- associated factor 1 (TAFl), CREB-binding protein (CBP or CREBBP), P300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), and Gcn5) and determinants of epigenetic memory. There are 41 human proteins containing a total of 57 diverse bromodomains. Despite large sequence variations, all bromodomains share a conserved fold comprising a left-handed bundle of four alpha helices (α,ζ, ctA, ctB, and etc), linked by diverse loop regions (ZA and BC loops) that determine substrate specificity. Co-crystal structures with peptidic substrates showed that the acetyl- lysine is recognized by a central hydrophobic cavity and is anchored by a hydrogen bond with an asparagine residue present in most bromodomains. The bromo and extra-terminal (BET) family (e.g., BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT) shares a common domain architecture comprising two N-terminal bromodomains that exhibit a high degree of sequence
conservation, and a more divergent C-terminal recruitment domain.
[00207] Recent research has established a compelling rationale for targeting BRD4 in cancer. BRD4 functions to facilitate cell cycle progression, and knock-down in cultured cancer cell lines prompts Gl arrest. BRD4 is an important mediator of transcriptional elongation, functioning to recruit the positive transcription elongation factor complex (P- TEFb). Cyclin dependent kinase-9, a core component of P-TEFb, is a validated target in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and has recently been linked to c-Myc dependent
transcription. Bromodomains present in BRD4 recruit P-TEFb to mitotic chromosomes resulting in increased expression of growth promoting genes. BRD4 remains bound to transcriptional start sites of genes expressed during M/Gl but has not been found present at start sites that are expressed later in the cell cycle. Knockdown of BRD4 in proliferating cells has been shown to lead to Gl arrest and apoptosis by decreasing expression levels of genes important for mitotic progression and survival.
[00208] Importantly, BRD4 has recently been identified as a component of a recurrent t(15; 19) chromosomal translocation in an aggressive form of human squamous cell carcinoma. Such translocations express the tandem N-terminal bromodomains of BRD4 as an in-frame chimera with the nuclear protein in testis (NUT) protein, genetically defining the NUT midline carcinoma (NMC). Functional studies in patient-derived NMC cell lines have validated the essential role of the BRD4-NUT oncoprotein in maintaining the characteristic proliferation advantage and differentiation block of this malignancy. Notably, RNA silencing of BRD4-NUT gene expression arrests proliferation and prompts squamous differentiation with a marked increase in cytokeratin expression. A bromodomain may also down-regulates Myc and other transcripitional factors, such as interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R). These observations underscore the utility and therapeutic potential of a binder or inhibitor of bromodomain-containing proteins.
[00209] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides methods of inhibiting the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject.
[00210] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides methods of inhibiting the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a cell. [00211] In certain embodiments, the bromodomain-containing protein is a bromodomain- containing protein described herein (e.g., a BET protein, such as BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, or BRDT). In certain embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is inhibited by the described methods. In certain embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is inhibited by the described methods by at least about 1%, at least about 3%, at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, or at least about 98%. In certain embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is inhibited by the described methods by at most about 90%, at most about 80%, at most about 70%, at most about 60%, at most about 50%, at most about 40%, at most about 30%, at most about 20%, at most about 10%, at most about 3%, or at most about 1%. Combinations of the above-referenced ranges (e.g. , at least about 10% and at most about 50%) are also within the scope of the disclosure. Other ranges are also possible. In some embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is selectively inhibited by the described methods. In some embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is selectively inhibited by the described methods, compared to the activity of a kinase (e.g., a MAP kinase, a mitotic spindle kinase, a polo kinase). In other embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein in a subject or cell is non- selectively inhibited by the described methods. In certain embodiments, the cytokine level and/or histamine release are reduced by the described methods.
[00212] In certain embodiments, the activity of a bromodomain-containing protein is an aberrant activity of the bromodomain-containing protein.
