Definitions

• the present invention is generally directed to novel compounds and methods for their preparation and use as therapeutic or prophylactic agents, for example for treatment of cancer.
• RAS represents a group of closely related monomeric globular proteins of 189 amino acids (21 kDa molecular mass) which are associated with the plasma membrane and which bind either GDP or GTP.
• RAS acts as a molecular switch. When RAS contains bound GDP, it is in the resting or off position and is "inactive". In response to exposure of the cell to certain growth promoting stimuli, RAS is induced to exchange its bound GDP for a GTP. With GTP bound, RAS is "switched on” and is able to interact with and activate other proteins (its "downstream targets”).
• the RAS protein itself has a very low intrinsic ability to hydrolyze GTP back to GDP, thus turning itself into the off state.
• GTPase-activating proteins GTPase-activating proteins
• Any mutation in RAS which affects its ability to interact with GAP or to convert GTP back to GDP will result in a prolonged activation of the protein and consequently a prolonged signal to the cell telling it to continue to grow and divide. Because these signals result in cell growth and division, overactive RAS signaling may ultimately lead to cancer.
• RAS proteins contain a G domain which is responsible for the enzymatic activity of RAS - the guanine nucleotide binding and the hydrolysis (GTPase reaction). It also contains a C-terminal extension, known as the CAAX box, which may be post-translationally modified and is responsible for targeting the protein to the membrane.
• the G domain is approximately 21-25 kDa in size and it contains a phosphate binding loop (P-loop).
• the P-loop represents the pocket where the nucleotides are bound in the protein, and this is the rigid part of the domain with conserved amino acid residues which are essential for nucleotide binding and hydrolysis (Glycine 12, Threonine 26 and Lysine 16).
• the G domain also contains the so called Switch I (residues 30-40) and Switch II (residues 60-76) regions, both of which are the dynamic parts of the protein which are often represented as the "spring- loaded” mechanism because of their ability to switch between the resting and loaded state.
• the key interaction is the hydrogen bonds formed by Threonine-35 and glycine- 60 with the ⁇ -phosphate of GTP which maintain Switch 1 and Switch 2 regions respectively in their active conformation. After hydrolysis of GTP and release of phosphate, these two relax into the inactive GDP conformation.
• KRAS mutations are detected in 25-30% of tumors.
• the rates of oncogenic mutation occurring in the NRAS and HRAS family members are much lower (8% and 3% respectively).
• the most common KRAS mutations are found at residue G12 and G13 in the P-loop and at residue Q61.
• G12C is a frequent mutation of KRAS gene (glycine-12 to cysteine). This mutation had been found in about 13% of cancer occurrences, about 43% of lung cancer occurrences, and in almost 100% of MYH-associates polyposis (familial colon cancer syndrome). However targeting this gene with small molecules is a challenge. Accordingly, while progress has been made in this field, there remains a need in the art for improved compounds and methods for treatment of cancer, for example by inhibition of KRAS, HRAS or NRAS. The present invention fulfills this need and provides further related advantages. BRIEF SUMMARY

• the invention is directed to a method for treating a disorder mediated by a KRAS, HRAS or NRAS G12C mutation in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
• a pharmaceutical composition comprising any one or more compounds of structure (I).
• the invention is directed to a method for preparing a labeled KRAS, HRAS or NRAS G12C mutant protein, the method comprising reacting the KRAS, HRAS or NRAS G12C mutant with a compound of structure (I), to result in the labeled KRAS, HRAS or NRAS G12C protein.

While not wishing to be bound by theory, the present applicants believe that, in some embodiments, the compounds of the invention selectively react with the G12C mutant KRAS, HRAS or NRAS proteins by forming a covalent bond with the cysteine at the 12 position of a G12C mutant KRAS, HRAS or NRAS protein. By binding to the Cysteine 12, the compounds of the invention may lock the switch II of the G12C mutant KRAS, HRAS or NRAS into an inactive stage.
• This inactive stage may be distinct from those observed for GTP and GDP bound KRAS, HRAS or NRAS.
• Some compounds of the invention may also be able to perturb the switch I conformation. Some compounds of the invention may favor the binding of the bound KRAS, HRAS or NRAS to GDP rather than GTP and therefore sequester the KRAS, HRAS or NRAS into an inactive KRAS, HRAS or NRAS GDP state. Because effector binding to KRAS, HRAS or NRAS is highly sensitive to the conformation of switch I and II, the irreversible binding of these compounds may disrupt KRAS, HRAS or NRAS downstream signaling.
