  • the triphosphate metabolite of gemcitabine is an inhibitor of cytidine deaminase, which is responsible for gemcitabine inactivation by conversion to the uridine metabolite. Accordingly, the additive nature of the above factors may explain the efficacy of gemcitabine in treating solid tumors.
  • gemcitabine has limited ability to permeate plasma membranes via passive diffusion and several studies have demonstrated that gemcitabine is a substrate for equilibrative and concentrative nucleoside transporters (ENT's and CNT's respectively). Specifically, gemcitabine is transported by human ENT1, ENT2, CNT1 and CNT3, but not the purine-selective concentrative transporter CNT2 (see Mackey et ah, Cancer Res. 1998, 58, 4349-4357; Mackey et ah, J.

  • dFdCMP can also be converted and inactivated by DCTD into 2'- deoxy-2',2'-difluorouridine monophosphate (dFdUMP).
  • Resistance to gemcitabine comes from at least 3 potential pathways: 1) deficiency of hENT pathway that helps dFdC cross into cells, 2) down regulation of cDK involved in phosphorylation and/or upregulation of cytidine deaminase (CDA) responsible for deamination of dFdC to 2’,2’-difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU), of which the activity is uncertain, and 3) high efflux of drug by transporters such as ABC transporters.

[0063] "Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt" refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise
undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are, in some embodiments, formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts and the like. Salts derived from organic bases include, but are not limited to, salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines and basic ion exchange resins, for example, isopropylamine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, 2-dimethylaminoethanol,
2-diethylaminoethanol, dicyclohexylamine, lysine, arginine, histidine, caffeine, procaine, N,N- dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, hydrabamine, choline, betaine, ethylenediamine, ethylenedianiline, /V-methylglucamine, glucosamine, methylglucamine, theobromine, purines, piperazine, piperidine, /V-ethylpiperidine, polyamine resins and the like.

[0064] As used herein,“treatment” or“treating,” or“palliating” or“ameliorating” are used
interchangeably. These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By“therapeutic benefit” is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are, in some embodiments, administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made. Phosphorylated Gemcitabine Derivatives
[0065] A number of nucleoside analogs such as cytarabine, fludarabine, cladribine, capecitabine,
gemcitabine and pentostatin are used clinically as highly effective anti -neoplastic agents. Among these, gemcitabine (2',2'-difluoro-2'-deoxycytidine) is of particular interest due to its unique activity against solid tumors. It is currently approved to treat breast, non-small cell lung, ovarian and pancreatic cancers and widely used to treat a variety of other cancers including bladder, biliary, colorectal and lymphoma.

(gemcitabine) [0066] Several self-potentiating mechanisms unique to this nucleoside analog are believed responsible for the activity of gemcitabine against solid tumors. The diphosphate metabolite of gemcitabine inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, which results in lower concentrations of intracellular deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) and thus, increased incorporation of the triphosphate gemcitabine metabolite into DNA, which results in inhibition of DNA synthesis and blocks completion of the cell division cycle. Additionally, reduction in dCTP concentration upregulates the enzyme cytidine kinase, which is responsible for initial phosphorylation of gemcitabine, a necessary step in the inhibition of DNA synthesis by the drug. Finally, the triphosphate metabolite of gemcitabine is an inhibitor of cytidine deaminase, which is responsible for gemcitabine inactivation by conversion to the uridine metabolite. Accordingly, the additive nature of the above factors may explain the efficacy of gemcitabine in treating solid tumors.
[0067] Previous studies have characterized multiple cellular transport mechanisms for nucleoside analog drugs and their derivatives (for a review, see Balimane et ah, Adv. Drug Delivery Rev. 1999, 39, 183-209). A relatively hydrophilic compound, gemcitabine has limited ability to permeate plasma membranes via passive diffusion and several studies have demonstrated that gemcitabine is a substrate for equilibrative and concentrative nucleoside transporters (ENT's and CNT's respectively). Specifically, gemcitabine is transported by human ENT1, ENT2, CNT1 and CNT3, but not the purine-selective concentrative transporter CNT2 (see Mackey et ah, Cancer Res. 1998, 58, 4349-4357; Mackey et ah, J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 1999, 91, 1876-1881; and Fang et ak, Biochem. J. 1996, 317, 457465).
[0068] Gemcitabine is itself a prodrug that is activated in a series of phosphorylation steps to its
activated form of 5’ -triphosphate. Typically, once gemcitabine enters the tumor cell, it undergoes a series of phosphorylations, which are generally believed to make it active. First, it is generally phosphorylated to a monophosphate compound (dFdCMP) by deoxycytidine kinase (dCK). It then often undergoes a second modification to become gemcitabine diphosphate (dFdCDP), and finally can be converted to gemcitabine triphosphate (dFdCTP). These forms can be catalyzed by the enzymes nucleoside monophosphate kinase (UMP / CMP) and diphosphate kinase, respectively. Gemcitabine can be inactivated by cytidine deaminase (CD A). The deamination of gemcitabine monophosphate, which is catalysed by deoxycytidylate deaminase (DCTD), also deactivates the drug. Phosphorylated metabolites of gemcitabine can be reduced by cellular 5'- nucleotidase (5'-NT), and dFdCMP can also be converted and inactivated by DCTD into 2'- deoxy-2',2'-difluorouridine monophosphate (dFdUMP). Resistance to gemcitabine comes from at least 3 potential pathways: 1) deficiency of hENT pathway that helps dFdC cross into cells, 2) down regulation of cDK involved in phosphorylation and/or upregulation of cytidine deaminase (CDA) responsible for deamination of dFdC to 2’,2’-difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU), of which the activity is uncertain, and 3) high efflux of drug by transporters such as ABC transporters.
[0069] Accordingly, there is a need for gemcitabine analogs, which are not susceptible to the various resistance pathways while retaining the efficacious anti-tumor activity of the parent drug. One of the solutions to overcome the problem of gemcitabine resistance is to use phosphorylated gemcitabine prodrug compounds which provide a long, sustained, and controlled release of the biologically active phosphorylated gemcitabine derivatives upon administration into the body. Administration of the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivatives may provide a more convenient dosing regimen, greater efficacy, and reduce side effects in comparison with a traditional intravenous infusion of gemcitabine as typically used in cancer therapy.
[0070] As used in this disclosure, the term "prodrug" is meant to indicate a compound that is converted under physiological conditions to gemcitabine, or the phosphorylated forms thereof. A prodrug, in some embodiments, is inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis. Thus, the term "prodrug" refers to a precursor compound that is pharmaceutically acceptable, and in some embodiments, is devoid of the pharmacological properties of gemcitabine. The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, FL, Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7-9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam).
[0071] A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery
Systems," A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.
[0072] The term "prodrug" is also meant to include any covalently bonded carriers that release the active compound in vivo when such prodrug is administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs of gemcitabine, as described herein, are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the active compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved to the parent active compound. Prodrugs include compounds wherein a hydroxy group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug of the active compound is administered to a mammalian subject, cleaves to form a free hydroxy group.
[0073] Provided herein are phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrugs. The prodrugs described herein offer several exemplary advantages. First, the prodrugs generally comprise a modified mono-phosphate form of gemcitabine. Use of a mono-phosphate form of gemcitabine may allow the prodrugs to be converted to the active forms of the compound without undergoing the phosphorylation events described above. Thus, the prodrug might be less susceptible to certain forms of resistance that can develop when a subject becomes unable to convert gemcitabine to the phosphorylated active forms.
[0074] Second, the prodrugs described herein are often engineered to be lipophilic. Lipophilic
gemcitabine derivative prodrugs may exhibit increased uptake by cancer cells, exhibit advantageous toxicity profiles, or provide enhance the therapeutic windows compared to gemcitabine. Lipophilic gemcitabine derivative prodrugs may also bypass traditional pathways to enter a cell, modulate distribution of the drug in the body, and allow for alternative delivery mechanisms and formulations as comparied to gemcitabine.

Pharmaceutical Compositions
[00137] In certain embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug as described herein is administered as a pure chemical. In other embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug described herein is combined with a pharmaceutically suitable or acceptable carrier (also referred to herein as a pharmaceutically suitable (or acceptable) excipient, physiologically suitable (or acceptable) excipient, or physiologically suitable (or acceptable) carrier) selected on the basis of a chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice as described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21st Ed. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, PA (2005)).
[00138] Provided herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one phosphorylated
gemcitabine derivative prodrug, or a stereoisomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The carrier(s)
(or excipient(s)) is acceptable or suitable if the carrier is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient ( i.e the subject) of the composition.
[00139] One embodiment provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically
acceptable excipient and a compound of any one of Formula (I), (II), (Ha), and (III), or a compound disclosed in Table 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[00140] In certain embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug as described by any one of Formula (I), (II), (Ha), and (III), or a compound disclosed in Table 1, is substantially pure, in that it contains less than about 5%, or less than about 1%, or less than about 0.1%, of other organic small molecules, such as unreacted intermediates or synthesis by-products that are created, for example, in one or more of the steps of a synthesis method.
[00141] Suitable oral dosage forms include, for example, tablets, pills, sachets, or capsules of hard or soft gelatin, methylcellulose or of another suitable material easily dissolved in the digestive tract. In some embodiments, suitable nontoxic solid carriers are used which include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, talcum, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, magnesium carbonate, and the like. (See, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (Gennaro, 21st Ed. Mack Pub. Co., Easton, PA (2005)).
[00142] In some embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug as described by any one of Formula (I), (II), (Ha), and (III), or a compound disclosed in Table 1, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated for administration by injection. In some instances, the injection formulation is an aqueous formulation. In some instances, the injection formulation is a non-aqueous formulation. In some instances, the injection formulation is an oil-based
formulation, such as sesame oil, or the like.
[00143] In some embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug as described by any one of Formula (I), (II), (Ha), and (III), or a compound disclosed in Table 1, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated as a nanoparticle. Various forms of nanoparticles are contemplated herein. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises an outer layer comprising a polymer or protein such as albumin while an inner core contains the gemcitabine derivative prodrug. In some embodiments, the albumin is human serum albumin (HSA). In some embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises a mixture of polymer or protein. For example, the mixture can comprise albumin and the gemcitabine derivative prodrug. Nanoparticles can exhibit less toxicity, higher activity, higher distributions at drug target sites (including tumors), better uptake, and better efficacy as compared to free gemcitabine or free gemcitabine derivative prodrugs. In some embodiments, the use of a lipophilic gemcitabine derivative prodrug can be advantageous in nanoparticle formulations, for example, by increasing or enhacing binding or compatibility of the prodrug with the materials in core of the nanoparticle, release of the prodrug at the site of desired activity, or transport within the body.
[00144] In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the
pharmaceutical composition is about 25:1 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the pharmaceutical composition is about 20: 1 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the
pharmaceutical composition is about 17:1 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the pharmaceutical composition is about 15: 1 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the
pharmaceutical composition is about 12:1 or less. In some embodiments, the ratio of albumin to the gemcitabine derivative prodrug in the pharmaceutical composition is about 10: 1 or less. [00145] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of albumin. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 0.5% to about 15% by weight of albumin. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 1% to about 10% by weight of albumin. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 2% to about 8% by weight of albumin. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 3% to about 6% by weight of albumin. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 0.5%, about 1%, about 2%, about 3%, about 4%, about 5%, about 6%, about 7%, about 8%, about 9%, about 10%, about 11%, about 12%, about 13%, about 14%, about 15%, about 16%, about 17%, about 18%, about 19%, or about 20% by weight of albumin.
[00146] In some embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises a calcium phosphate lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises a lipid-based nanoparticle. In some
embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug is incorporated in the lipid bilayer of a liposomal nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the phosphorylated gemcitabine derivative prodrug is incorporated inside the liposomal nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle comprises an albumin-coated nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the albumin- coated nanoparticle comprises albumin covalently bound, non-covalently bound, or both covalently and non-covalently bound to the gemcitabine derivative prodrugs described herein. Exemplary methods of covalently binding the prodrug to albumin include chemical conjugation of the drug, which includes conjugation to lysines, tyrosines, or the free SH-group on the cys34.

II. Biological Evaluation
Example 1: Plasma stability assay
[00179] Determining plasma stability of the test compounds is performed using HPLC-MS. Incubations are carried out in 96-well polypropylene plates in 5 aliquots of 70 pL each (one for each time point). Test compounds (10 mM, final solvent concentration 1 %) are incubated at 37 °C. Five time points over 120 minutes are analyzed (0, 20, 40, 60 and 120 min). All incubations are performed in duplicates. The samples are analyzed by HPLC-MS (API3000, AB Sciex). The percentage of parent compound remaining after incubation in plasma is plotted versus incubation time, and plasma half-life (T½) is calculated from the obtained curve.
Example 2: In vitro cytotoxicity assays using compound 1-1
[00180] The cytotoxicity of gemcitabine and compound 1-1 were evaluated in two pancreatic cell lines, MiaPaCa-2 and Panc-1. Cisplatin was used as a positive control. All the compounds were prepared in cell culture media containing 10% FBS. The various test articles were exposed to the cell lines for 4 hours. After the 4-hour incubation, the media containing the test articles was replaced with fresh media containing 10% FBS and incubated for 72 hours. The IC50 was measured using Cell Titer Glo luminescent viability assay. The compounds were evaluated in the presence and absence of dipyridamole (an inhibitor of nucleoside transporter, hENTl) in the Panc-1 cell lines. For Mia PaCa-2 cell lines, the compounds were tested in the presence and absence of 2- deoxycytidine (a substrate competitor of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK)). The results of the in vitro assays are presented in Tables 1 and 2.
Panc-1 : IC50 for compound 1-1 was 31.01 uM whereas for gemcitabine, the IC50 was 558.43 uM, indicating that compound 1-1 is 18-fold more potent than gemcitabine. The IC50 of compound 1-1 in the presence of 100 uM of dipyridamole was 9.16 uM. This indicates that compound 1-1 is not transported into Panc-1 cells via the hENTl nucleoside transporters.
Table 2:
Figure imgf000067_0001
Figure imgf000068_0001
Mia PaCa-2: The IC50 for compound 1-1 was 3.08 uM whereas for gemcitabine, the IC50 was 0.24 uM. In the presence of 2-deoxycytidine, which is a substrate for deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), the IC50 for compound 1-1 increased 2.36-fold to 7.26 uM, whereas the IC50 for gemcitabine increased 23.9-fold to 5.73 uM. Gemcitabine is converted to its monophosphate form by dCK. Inhibition of or competition for dCK will impact the conversion of gemcitabine to its monophosphate form. Compound 1-1 is a monophosphate and thus the presence of dCK or its inhibition does not impact its IC50.
