Definitions
- the present disclosure provides, inter alia, compounds to modulate GPX4 activity. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, as well as methods of using such compounds and compositions.
- Cancer cells are dependent on their lipid composition for establishing and modulating membrane structural integrity, morphology, metabolism, migration, invasiveness, and other functions.
- PUFA-PLs polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-(PUFA)-containing phospholipids
- PUFA-PLs are, however, susceptible to peroxidation via iron-catalyzed reaction with molecular oxygen at bis-allylic positions, catalyzed by lipoxygenases and labile iron (Yang et al. 2016).
- some cancer cells depend on a critical network of proteins to eliminate their PUFA-PL peroxides; a key protein at the center of this defense network is the selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4).
- GPX4 activity is compromised, lipid peroxidation can cause ferroptosis (Stockwell et al. 2017), an oxidative, iron-dependent form of non- apoptotic cell death (Dixon et al. 2012).
- Ferroptosis acts as a natural tumor suppressive and immune surveillance mechanism, and can be induced by exogenous agents in cells that are addicted to GPX4 (Dixon and Stockwell, 2019). Cancer cells from tissues of diverse origins have been screened for their sensitivity to ferroptosis-inducing compounds (Viswanathan et al. 2017). It has been found that ferroptosis inducers, including GPX4 inhibitors, selectively target cancers with a mesenchymal or otherwise drug-resistant signature (Viswanathan et al. 2017).
- EMT epithelial- mesenchymal transition
- GPX4-knockout high-mesenchymal therapy-resistant melanoma regressed after cessation of ferrostatin-1 (a lipophilic antioxidant discovered in the Stockwell Lab that suppresses the loss of GPX4) and did not relapse after ceasing dabrafenib and trametinib treatment, while wt GPX4 xenografts continued to grow in both experiments (Viswanathan et al. 2017).
- ferrostatin-1 a lipophilic antioxidant discovered in the Stockwell Lab that suppresses the loss of GPX4
- wt GPX4 xenografts continued to grow in both experiments (Viswanathan et al. 2017).
- GPX4 inhibitors are selectively lethal to persister and EMT cancer cells, with minimal effects on parental cells and non-transformed cells, suggesting that addiction to GPX4 creates a large therapeutic window.

- chiral center refers to a carbon atom to which four different groups are attached.
- enantiomeric enrichment refers to the increase in the amount of one enantiomer as compared to the other.
- Examples of methods to obtain optically active materials include at least the following: i) physical separation of crystals--a technique whereby macroscopic crystals of the individual enantiomers are manually separated. This technique can be used if crystals of the separate enantiomers exist, i.e., the material is a conglomerate, and the crystals are visually distinct; ii) simultaneous crystallization--a technique whereby the individual enantiomers are separately crystallized from a solution of the racemate, possible only if the latter is a conglomerate in the solid state; iii) enzymatic resolutions--a technique whereby partial or complete separation of a racemate by virtue of differing rates of reaction for the enantiomers with an enzyme; iv) enzymatic asymmetric synthesis--a synthetic technique whereby at least one step of the synthesis uses an enzymatic reaction to obtain an enantiomerically pure or enriched synthetic precursor of the desired enantiomer;
- the resulting diastereomers are then separated by chromatography or crystallization by virtue of their now more distinct structural differences and the chiral auxiliary later removed to obtain the desired enantiomer; vii) first- and second-order asymmetric transformations--a technique whereby diastereomers from the racemate equilibrate to yield a preponderance in solution of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer or where preferential crystallization of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer perturbs the equilibrium such that eventually in principle all the material is converted to the crystalline diastereomer from the desired enantiomer.
- kinetic resolutions--this technique refers to the achievement of partial or complete resolution of a racemate (or of a further resolution of a partially resolved compound) by virtue of unequal reaction rates of the enantiomers with a chiral, non-racemic reagent or catalyst under kinetic conditions; ix) enantiospecific synthesis from non-racemic precursors--a synthetic technique whereby the desired enantiomer is obtained from non-chiral starting materials and where the stereochemical integrity is not or is only minimally compromised over the course of the synthesis; x) chiral liquid chromatography--a technique whereby the enantiomers of a racemate are separated in a liquid mobile phase by virtue of their differing interactions with a stationary phase.
- the stationary phase can be made of chiral material or the mobile phase can contain an additional chiral material to provoke the differing interactions; xi) chiral gas chromatography--a technique whereby the racemate is volatilized and enantiomers are separated by virtue of their differing interactions in the gaseous mobile phase with a column containing a fixed non-racemic chiral adsorbent phase; xii) extraction with chiral solvents--a technique whereby the enantiomers are separated by virtue of preferential dissolution of one enantiomer into a particular chiral solvent; xiii) transport across chiral membranes--a technique whereby a racemate is placed in contact with a thin membrane barrier.
- the barrier typically separates two miscible fluids, one containing the racemate, and a driving force such as concentration or pressure differential causes preferential transport across the membrane barrier. Separation occurs as a result of the non-racemic chiral nature of the membrane which allows only one enantiomer of the racemate to pass through.
- the stereoisomers may also be separated by usual techniques known to those skilled in the art including fractional crystallization of the bases or their salts or chromatographic techniques such as LC or flash chromatography.

- LOC1886 covalently modifies GPX4 Cys66 (allosteric site 1 ) and LOC880 binds to E50-F92-S44 (allosteric site 2) with a d of 8 ⁇ M (FIGS. 1A-1D).
- the SAR optimizations on LOC1886 and LOC880 were conducted and provided herein.
- the imidazole group functions as an electrophile for the covalent modification of GPX4, hence remains unmodified.
- the indole scaffold was chosen to be modified with diverse substitution patterns and electronic effects. The electronic properties of the indole scaffold range from electron withdrawing to electron donating in order to modulate the reactivity of the imidazole.
- the imidazole was chosen to be linked to the indole via an amide linker because of the rigid structure and poor solubility of LOC1886.
- the amide linker increases the polarity, when compared to compounds with an all-carbon backbone, which is beneficial for their water solubility, and this prevents aggregation. Since this work focused on the covalent rather than the noncovalent part of the intermolecular interaction between GPX4 and the ligand, relatively small scaffolds were chosen, resulting in fragment-like compounds (Scheme 1).
- LOC1886 analogs were synthesized and characterized through the assay funnel, and majority of the analogs exhibited enhanced affinity for GPX4 protein (FIG. 3). Specifically, LOC1886 analogs with halogen substitution on the indole ring, such as QW-002 and QW-052, present the most significant improvement on GPX4 binding. Considering that LOC1886 and its analogs are covalent inhibitors, a LCMS-based assay was developed to evaluate and compare the covalent binding potencies of GPX4 covalent inhibitors, in which the doseresponse bound percentage was calculated from the relative intensities of apo protein and protein-inhibitor complex. Accordingly, it was found QW57, QW64, and GRL-0496 featured better or comparable covalent binding potencies as LOC1886 (FIG. 4).
- Scheme 1a Scaffolds diversed in substitution patterns, and electronic effects
- LOC880 analogs were synthesized in good to excellent yields by reacting a library of natural/unnatural a-amino acids, /3-amino acids and y/w-amino acids with different phthalic anhydrides, and te/Y-butyl alcohol to furnish the corresponding library. All the substrates furnished the expected LOC880 analogs, almost irrespective of the electronic and steric factors of the substituents present.
- 2,3-naphthalic anhydride demonstrated good behavior in the methodology.
- Several analogs from the library were evaluated by thermal denaturation assay and microscale thermophoresis (MST) to validate their bindings to GPX4. All tested compounds showed enhanced binding affinities compared to original LOC880 scaffold, the apparent K d of QW-011 and QW-017 towards GPX4 is in the sub-micromolar range (FIG. 6).
- LOC1886/QW-044, QW- 078, QW-095, and QW-105 show increased lipid peroxidation that is rescuable by ferrostatin-1 , a ferroptosis inhibitor, potentially suggesting GPX4 inhibition in cells.
- cellular dose response assays with HT1080, and HepG2, Huh7 and Skhep-1 liver cancer cells have not shown ferrostatin-1 rescue, and Glso values for most compounds have been in the micromolar range (FIG. 10).

- FIGS. 13A-13H depict the cartoon representation of the crystal structures of GPX4 U46C with RSL3, ML162, CDS9, and TMT10.

- DELopen compounds have undergone initial testing in the NADPH- coupled activity assay with many compounds showing promising effects with over 80% inhibition (FIG. 15). Typically, compounds were initially assessed at 1mM, but maximal concentrations were selected for testing the DELopen hits based on solubility limitations in the assay buffer and observed interference with the NADPH absorbance signal at 340nm. Further validation and characterization will be performed via both NADPH-coupled and LC/MS-based GPX4 activity assays. Downstream cellular assays will be performed on the most promising candidates.

GOVERNMENT FUNDING
[0003] This disclosure was made with government support under grant no. CA209896, awarded by National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the disclosure.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0004] Cancer cells are dependent on their lipid composition for establishing and modulating membrane structural integrity, morphology, metabolism, migration, invasiveness, and other functions. For example, among the thousands of lipid species that compose eukaryotic cell membranes, the abundance and localization of polyunsaturated-fatty-acid-(PUFA)-containing phospholipids (PUFA-PLs) is a major factor in determining the fluidity of cell membranes (Agmon et al. 2017). Since the cis conformation of double bonds in PUFA-PLs hinders efficient stacking of fatty acyl tails, elevated levels of PUFA-PLs contribute to increasing membrane fluidity and thinning (Agmon et al. 2018). PUFA-PLs are, however, susceptible to peroxidation via iron-catalyzed reaction with molecular oxygen at bis-allylic positions, catalyzed by lipoxygenases and labile iron (Yang et al. 2016). Thus, some cancer cells depend on a critical network of proteins to eliminate their PUFA-PL peroxides; a key protein at the center of this defense network is the selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). When GPX4 activity is compromised, lipid peroxidation can cause ferroptosis (Stockwell et al. 2017), an oxidative, iron-dependent form of non-
apoptotic cell death (Dixon et al. 2012). Ferroptosis acts as a natural tumor suppressive and immune surveillance mechanism, and can be induced by exogenous agents in cells that are addicted to GPX4 (Dixon and Stockwell, 2019). Cancer cells from tissues of diverse origins have been screened for their sensitivity to ferroptosis-inducing compounds (Viswanathan et al. 2017). It has been found that ferroptosis inducers, including GPX4 inhibitors, selectively target cancers with a mesenchymal or otherwise drug-resistant signature (Viswanathan et al. 2017). Consistent with the mesenchymal state being associated with drug resistance, an independent study on persister cancer cells, which are proposed to escape from conventional cytotoxic treatment through a dormant state and then revive to cause tumor relapse, revealed a similar selective dependency on GPX4 (Hangauer et al. 2017).
[0005] Examination of persister cells also revealed upregulation of mesenchymal markers and downregulation of epithelial markers (Hangauer et al. 2017). Overexpression of mesenchymal state genes is associated with epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT). Since EMT increases motility of tumor cells and enables the invasion of primary tumors to distant sites, EMT is a key step in metastasis. EMT also renders cancer cells resistant to apoptosis and chemotherapy (Viswanathan et al. 2017). EMT requires plasma membrane remodeling to increase fluidity, which is associated with elevated biosynthesis of PUFA-PLs. Given that PUFA-PLs are more susceptible to peroxidation than saturated or mono-unsaturated fatty acid PLs, cells in an EMT state have increased dependency on GPX4 to remove these lipid peroxides (Viswanathan et al. 2017). Therefore, cancer cells undergoing EMT that acquire resistance to apoptosis become vulnerable to lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis induced by GPX4 inhibition (Viswanathan et al. 2017). As cancer cells evolve into a high-mesenchymal drug-resistant state and become resistant to apoptosis, one may selectively target such cells through ferroptosis; the most effective compounds in this context are GPX4 inhibitors (Viswanathan et al. 2017). For example, in-vivo xenografts of GPX4-knockout high-mesenchymal therapy-resistant melanoma regressed after cessation of ferrostatin-1 (a lipophilic antioxidant discovered in the Stockwell Lab that suppresses the loss of GPX4) and did not relapse after ceasing dabrafenib and trametinib treatment, while wt GPX4 xenografts continued to grow in both experiments (Viswanathan et al. 2017). GPX4
inhibitors are selectively lethal to persister and EMT cancer cells, with minimal effects on parental cells and non-transformed cells, suggesting that addiction to GPX4 creates a large therapeutic window.
[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for developing GPX4 inhibitors for the treatment of aggressive drug-resistant cancers and other GPX4-associated diseases. This disclosure is directed to meeting these and other needs.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0007] One of the most pressing problems in oncology is metastatic, drug- resistant cancers. Indeed, most deaths of cancer patients are caused by aggressive, metastatic, drug-resistant cancers. A surprising finding is that as cancers evolve into aggressive and drug-resistant forms, they acquire an exquisite sensitivity to GPX4 inhibition. These data provide the tantalizing possibility that the most aggressive neoplastic diseases can be treated through the use of GPX4 inhibitors, and that the ideal patients for treatment with these inhibitors are end-stage patients that have exhausted other therapeutic options. In 2012, we reported the existence of a new form of tumor suppressive cell death, ferroptosis (Dixon et al. 2012). In 2014, we discovered that the key negative regulator of ferroptosis was the lipid repair enzyme GPX4, demonstrating that GPX4 functions in ferroptosis in a manner analogous to how the oncogene Bcl-2 functions in apoptosis (Yang et al. 2014). We discovered the first GPX4 inhibitor -- the nanomolar potency small molecule RSL3 (Yang et al. 2014). In 2017, we reported that cancer cells that have undergone epithelial-to- mesenchymal (EMT) transition become hypersensitive to ferroptosis, and to GPX4 inhibitors (Viswanathan et al. 2017). We also discovered how RSL3 inhibits GPX4, obtaining a co-crystal structure of RSL3 bound to GPX4, which revealed a novel drug-binding site on GPX4. We propose, inter alia, to exploit this finding to discover drug-like GPX4 inhibitors with favorable ADMET properties that can be developed as first in class GPX4 inhibitors for drug-resistant cancers having a high EMT gene expression signature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0036] In the present disclosure, improved analogs of identified GPX4 binders were created and tested. The output of these studies serves as a starting lead that can be evaluated later for PK/PD, safety, and selectivity. In parallel, the screening assay is optimized, and triage compounds that emerge from the screen are evalutated.
[0037] Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) optimizations on LOC1886 and LOC880 were conducted. Several analogs of LOC880 and LOC1886 were identified with better binding affinity to GPX4, according to MST tests and their structures provided us with novel pharmacophores for further optimization. MST measurement
for the remaining analogs and detailed biophysical and biochemical characterizations are currently tested. GPX4-U46C was crystallized in complex with LOC1886. The crystals are small and diffracted X-ray at APS beam line NE_24ID_C poorly (~4 angstrom).

The kits may further include a packaging container, optionally having one or more partitions for housing the compounds and/or pharmaceutical compositions and other optional reagents.
[0067] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treating," "treatment" and grammatical variations thereof mean subjecting an individual subject to a protocol,
regimen, process or remedy, in which it is desired to obtain a physiologic response or outcome in that subject, e.g., a patient. In particular, the methods and compositions of the present disclosure may be used to slow the development of disease symptoms or delay the onset of the disease or condition, or halt the progression of disease development. However, because every treated subject may not respond to a particular treatment protocol, regimen, process or remedy, treating does not require that the desired physiologic response or outcome be achieved in each and every subject or subject population, e.g., patient population. Accordingly, a given subject or subject population, e.g., patient population, may fail to respond or respond inadequately to treatment.
[0068] As used herein, the terms “ameliorate”, "ameliorating" and grammatical variations thereof mean to decrease the seventy of the symptoms of a disease in a subject.

In addition to humans, categories of mammals within the scope of the present disclosure include, for example, agricultural animals, veterinary animals, laboratory animals, etc. Some examples of agricultural animals include cows, pigs, horses, goats, etc. Some examples of veterinary animals include dogs, cats, etc. Some examples of laboratory animals include primates, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. in the context of the present disclosure, the phrase “a subject in need thereof” means a subject in need of treatment for a GPX4-associated disorder, such as, e.g., a cancer. Alternatively, the phrase “a subject in need thereof” menas a subject diagnosed with a GPX4-associated disorder, such as, e.g., a cancer.
[0070] As used herein, “lipid peroxidation” means the oxidative degradation of fats, oils, waxes, sterols, triglycerides, and the like. Lipid peroxidation has been linked with many degenerative diseases, such as atherosclerosis, ischemia- reperfusion, heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, rheumatic arthritis, cancer, and other immunological disorders. (Ramana et al., 2013).
[0071] As used herein, “ferroptosis” means regulated cell death that is iron- dependent. Ferroptosis is characterized by the overwhelming, iron-dependent accumulation of lethal lipid reactive oxygen species. (Dixon et al., 2012) Ferroptosis is distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. (Id.)
[0072] As used herein, the terms “modulate”, “modulating”, “modulator” and grammatical variations thereof mean to change, such as increasing or decreasing the activity of GPX4. In this embodiment, “contacting” means bringing the compound and optionally one or more additional therapeutic agents into close proximity to the cells in need of such modulation. This may be accomplished using conventional techniques of drug delivery to the subject or in the in vitro situation by, e.g., providing the compound and optionally other therapeutic agents to a culture media in which the cells are located.
[0073] As used herein, a "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" means a salt of the compounds of the present disclosure which are pharmaceutically acceptable, as defined herein, and which possess the desired pharmacological activity.

Acceptable organic bases include ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine and the like.
[0074] In the present disclosure, an "effective amount" or “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound or pharmaceutical composition is an amount of such a compound or composition that is sufficient to effect beneficial or desired
results as described herein when administered to a subject. Effective dosage forms, modes of administration, and dosage amounts may be determined empirically, and making such determinations is within the skill of the art. It is understood by those skilled in the art that the dosage amount will vary with the route of administration, the rate of excretion, the duration of the treatment, the identity of any other drugs being administered, the age, size, and species of the subject, and like factors well known in the arts of, e.g., medicine and veterinary medicine. In general, a suitable dose of a compound or pharmaceutical composition according to the disclosure will be that amount of the compound or composition, which is the lowest dose effective to produce the desired effect with no or minimal side effects. The effective dose of a compound or pharmaceutical composition according to the present disclosure may be administered as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses, administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day.
[0075] A suitable, non-limiting example of a dosage of a compound or pharmaceutical composition according to the present disclosure or a composition comprising such a compound, is from about 1 ng/kg to about 1000 mg/kg, such as from about 1 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg, including from about 5 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg.

[0076] A compound, composition, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may be administered in any desired and effective manner: for oral ingestion, or as an ointment or drop for local administration to the eyes, or for parenteral or other administration in any appropriate manner such as intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, topical, intradermal, inhalation, intrapulmonary, rectal, vaginal, sublingual, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intrathecal, or intralymphatic. Further, a compound, composition, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may be administered in conjunction with other treatments. A compound, composition, or pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may be encapsulated or otherwise protected against gastric or other secretions, if desired.
[0077] The compositions or pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure are pharmaceutically acceptable and comprise one or more active ingredients in admixture with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or diluents and, optionally, one or more other compounds, drugs, ingredients and/or materials. Regardless of the route of administration selected, the compounds/compositions/pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure are formulated into pharmaceutically-acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art. See, e.g., Remington, The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (21st Edition, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA.). More generally, “pharmaceutically acceptable” means that which is useful in preparing a composition that is generally safe, non-toxic, and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable and includes that which is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use.
[0078] Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and diluents are well known in the art (see, e.g., Remington, The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (21st Edition, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA.) and The National Formulary (American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington, D.C.)) and include sugars (e.g., lactose, sucrose, mannitol, and sorbitol), starches, cellulose preparations, calcium phosphates (e.g., dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogen phosphate), sodium citrate, water, aqueous solutions (e.g., saline, sodium chloride injection, Ringer's injection, dextrose injection, dextrose and sodium chloride injection, lactated Ringer's injection), alcohols (e.g., ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol), polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol), organic esters (e.g., ethyl oleate and tryglycerides), biodegradable polymers (e.g., polylactide-polyglycolide, poly(orthoesters), and poly(anhydrides)), elastomeric matrices, liposomes, microspheres, oils (e.g., corn, germ, olive, castor, sesame, cottonseed, and groundnut), cocoa butter, waxes (e.g., suppository waxes), paraffins, silicones, talc, silicylate, etc. Each pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent used in a composition of the disclosure must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the subject. Carriers or diluents suitable for a selected dosage form and intended route of administration are well known in the art, and acceptable carriers or diluents for a
chosen dosage form and method of administration can be determined using ordinary skill in the art.
[0079] The compositions or pharmaceutical compositions of the disclosure may, optionally, contain additional ingredients and/or materials commonly used in such compositions. These ingredients and materials are well known in the art and include (1 ) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; (2) binders, such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, sucrose and acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, sodium starch glycolate, cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (7) wetting agents, such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, and sodium lauryl sulfate; (10) suspending agents, such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth; (11) buffering agents; (12) excipients, such as lactose, milk sugars, polyethylene glycols, animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, cocoa butter, starches, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycol, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc, salicylate, zinc oxide, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates, and polyamide powder; (13) inert diluents, such as water or other solvents; (14) preservatives; (15) surface- active agents; (16) dispersing agents; (17) control-release or absorption-delaying agents, such as hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, biodegradable polymers, liposomes, microspheres, aluminum monosterate, gelatin, and waxes; (18) opacifying agents; (19) adjuvants; (20) wetting agents; (21 ) emulsifying and suspending agents; (22), solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1 ,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, com, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan; (23) propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as

Ingredients and materials suitable for a selected dosage form and intended route of administration are well known in the art, and acceptable ingredients and materials for a chosen dosage form and method of administration may be determined using ordinary skill in the art.
[0080] Compounds, compositions or pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, powders, granules, a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in- water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, an elixir or syrup, a pastille, a bolus, an electuary or a paste. These formulations may be prepared by methods known in the art, e.g., by means of conventional pan-coating, mixing, granulation or lyophilization processes.
[0081] Solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like) may be prepared, e.g., by mixing the active ingredient(s) with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or diluents and, optionally, one or more fillers, extenders, binders, humectants, disintegrating agents, solution retarding agents, absorption accelerators, wetting agents, absorbents, lubricants, and/or coloring agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using a suitable excipient. A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using a suitable binder, lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant, surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine. The tablets, and other solid dosage forms, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining
filter. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition such that they release the active ingredient only, or preferentially, in a certain portion of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. The active ingredient can also be in microencapsulated form.
[0082] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically- acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. The liquid dosage forms may contain suitable inert diluents commonly used in the art. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions may also include adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents. Suspensions may contain suspending agents.
[0083] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing one or more active ingredient(s) with one or more suitable nonirritating carriers which are solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. Compositions which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
[0084] Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches, drops and inhalants. The active agent(s)/compound(s) may be mixed under sterile conditions with a suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier or diluent. The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain excipients. Powders and sprays may contain excipients and propellants.
[0085] Compositions suitable for parenteral administrations comprise one or more agent(s)/compound(s) in combination with one or more pharmaceutically- acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain suitable antioxidants, buffers, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, or suspending or thickening agents. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, by the maintenance of the
required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. These compositions may also contain suitable adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption.
[0086] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug (e.g., pharmaceutical formulation), it is desirable to slow its absorption from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility.
[0087] The rate of absorption of the active agent/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 agent/drug may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the active agent/drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms may be made by forming microencapsule matrices of the active ingredient in biodegradable polymers. Depending on the ratio of the active ingredient to polymer, and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of active ingredient release can be controlled. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissue. The injectable materials can be sterilized for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter.
[0088] The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, for example, ampules and vials, and may be stored in a lyophilized condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier or diluent, for example water for injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the type described above.
[0089] In the foregoing embodiments, the following definitions apply.
[0090] The term “aliphatic”, as used herein, refers to a group composed of carbon and hydrogen that do not contain aromatic rings. Accordingly, aliphatic groups include alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and carbocyclyl groups. Additionally, unless otherwise indicated, the term “aliphatic” is intended to include both "unsubstituted aliphatics" and "substituted aliphatics", the latter of which refers to aliphatic moieties
having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons of the aliphatic group. Such substituents can include, for example, a halogen, a deuterium, a hydroxyl, a carbonyl (such as a carboxyl, an alkoxycarbonyl, a formyl, or an acyl), a thiocarbonyl (such as a thioester, a thioacetate, or a thioformate), an alkoxyl, a phosphoryl, a phosphate, a phosphonate, a phosphinate, an amino, an amido, an amidine, an imine, a cyano, a nitro, an azido, a sulfhydryl, an alkylthio, a sulfate, a sulfonate, a sulfamoyl, a sulfonamido, a sulfonyl, a heterocyclyl, an aralkyl, an aromatic, or heteroaromatic moiety.
[0091] The term "alkyl" refers to the radical of saturated aliphatic groups that does not have a ring structure, including straight-chain alkyl groups, and branched- chain alkyl groups. In certain embodiments, a straight chain or branched chain alkyl has 6 or fewer carbon atoms in its backbone (e.g., C1-C6 for straight chains, C3-C6 for branched chains). In other embodiments, the “alkyl” may include up to twelve carbon atoms, e.g., C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11 or C12. Such substituents include all those contemplated for aliphatic groups, as discussed below, except where stability is prohibitive.
[0092] The term “alkenyl”, as used herein, refers to an aliphatic group containing at least one double bond and unless otherwise indicated, is intended to include both "unsubstituted alkenyls" and "substituted alkenyls", the latter of which refers to alkenyl moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons of the alkenyl group. Such substituents include all those contemplated for aliphatic groups, as discussed below, except where stability is prohibitive. For example, substitution of alkenyl groups by one or more alkyl, carbocyclyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl groups is contemplated.
[0093] Moreover, unless otherwise indicated, the term "alkyl" as used throughout the specification, examples, and claims is intended to include both "unsubstituted alkyls" and "substituted alkyls", the latter of which refers to alkyl moieties having substituents replacing a hydrogen on one or more carbons of the hydrocarbon backbone. Indeed, unless otherwise indicated, all groups recited herein are intended to include both substituted and unsubstituted options.
[0094] The term “Cx-y” when used in conjunction with a chemical moiety, such as, alkyl and cycloalkyl, is meant to include groups that contain from x to y carbons
in the chain. For example, the term “Cx-yalkyl” refers to substituted or unsubstituted saturated hydrocarbon groups, including straight-chain alkyl and branched-chain alkyl groups that contain from x to y carbons in the chain, including haloalkyl groups such as trifluoromethyl and 2,2,2-tirf luoroethyl, etc.
[0095] The term “aryl” as used herein includes substituted or unsubstituted single-ring aromatic groups in which each atom of the ring is carbon. Preferably the ring is a 3- to 8-membered ring, more preferably a 6-membered ring. The term “aryl” also includes polycyclic ring systems having two or more cyclic rings in which two or more carbons are common to two adjoining rings wherein at least one of the rings is aromatic, e.g., the other cyclic rings can be cycloalkyls, cycloalkenyls, cycloalkynyls, aryls, heteroaryls, and/or heterocyclyls.

[0116] It is appreciated that to the extent compounds of the present disclosure have a chiral center, they may exist in and be isolated in optically active and racemic forms. Some compounds may exhibit polymorphism. It is to be understood that the present disclosure encompasses any racemic, optically-active, diastereomeric, polymorphic, or stereoisomeric form, or mixtures thereof, of a compound of the disclosure, which possess the useful properties described herein, it being well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms (for example, by resolution of the racemic form by recrystallization techniques, by synthesis from optically-active starting materials, by chiral synthesis, or by chromatographic separation using a chiral stationary phase).
[0117] Examples of methods to obtain optically active materials are known in the art, and include at least the following: i) physical separation of crystals--a technique whereby macroscopic crystals of the individual enantiomers are manually separated. This technique can be used if crystals of the separate enantiomers exist, i.e., the material is a conglomerate, and the crystals are visually distinct;
ii) simultaneous crystallization--a technique whereby the individual enantiomers are separately crystallized from a solution of the racemate, possible only if the latter is a conglomerate in the solid state; iii) enzymatic resolutions--a technique whereby partial or complete separation of a racemate by virtue of differing rates of reaction for the enantiomers with an enzyme; iv) enzymatic asymmetric synthesis--a synthetic technique whereby at least one step of the synthesis uses an enzymatic reaction to obtain an enantiomerically pure or enriched synthetic precursor of the desired enantiomer; v) chemical asymmetric synthesis--a synthetic technique whereby the desired enantiomer is synthesized from an achiral precursor under conditions that produce asymmetry (i.e., chirality) in the product, which may be achieved using chiral catalysts as disclosed in more detail herein or chiral auxiliaries; vi) diastereomer separations--a technique whereby a racemic compound is reacted with an enantiomerically pure reagent (the chiral auxiliary) that converts the individual enantiomers to diastereomers. The resulting diastereomers are then separated by chromatography or crystallization by virtue of their now more distinct structural differences and the chiral auxiliary later removed to obtain the desired enantiomer; vii) first- and second-order asymmetric transformations--a technique whereby diastereomers from the racemate equilibrate to yield a preponderance in solution of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer or where preferential crystallization of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer perturbs the equilibrium such that eventually in principle all the material is converted to the crystalline diastereomer from the desired enantiomer. The desired enantiomer is then released from the diastereomer; viii) kinetic resolutions--this technique refers to the achievement of partial or complete resolution of a racemate (or of a further resolution of a partially resolved compound) by virtue of unequal reaction rates of the enantiomers with a chiral, non-racemic reagent or catalyst under kinetic conditions;
ix) enantiospecific synthesis from non-racemic precursors--a synthetic technique whereby the desired enantiomer is obtained from non-chiral starting materials and where the stereochemical integrity is not or is only minimally compromised over the course of the synthesis; x) chiral liquid chromatography--a technique whereby the enantiomers of a racemate are separated in a liquid mobile phase by virtue of their differing interactions with a stationary phase. The stationary phase can be made of chiral material or the mobile phase can contain an additional chiral material to provoke the differing interactions; xi) chiral gas chromatography--a technique whereby the racemate is volatilized and enantiomers are separated by virtue of their differing interactions in the gaseous mobile phase with a column containing a fixed non-racemic chiral adsorbent phase; xii) extraction with chiral solvents--a technique whereby the enantiomers are separated by virtue of preferential dissolution of one enantiomer into a particular chiral solvent; xiii) transport across chiral membranes--a technique whereby a racemate is placed in contact with a thin membrane barrier. The barrier typically separates two miscible fluids, one containing the racemate, and a driving force such as concentration or pressure differential causes preferential transport across the membrane barrier. Separation occurs as a result of the non-racemic chiral nature of the membrane which allows only one enantiomer of the racemate to pass through.
[0118] The stereoisomers may also be separated by usual techniques known to those skilled in the art including fractional crystallization of the bases or their salts or chromatographic techniques such as LC or flash chromatography. The (+) enantiomer can be separated from the (-) enantiomer using techniques and procedures well known in the art, such as that described by J. Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates, and Resolutions", John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1981. For example, chiral chromatography with a suitable organic solvent, such as ethanol/acetonitrile and Chiralpak AD packing, 20 micron can also be utilized to effect separation of the enantiomers
[0119] The following examples are provided to further illustrate the methods of the present disclosure. These examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure in any way.

Example 1
Improved analogs of fragments and leads that bind to GPX4
[0120] Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) has been reported to be a promising therapeutic target for metastatic and drug-resistant cancers, based on the elevated dependency of the cancer cells on GPX4 lipid peroxide repair pathway during epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and the transformation into therapy-tolerant persister states. We proposed to exploit this finding to discover drug-like GPX4 inhibitors with favorable ADMET properties that can be developed as a first in class GPX4 inhibitor for drug-resistant cancers having a high EMT gene expression signature.
[0121] LOC1886 and LOC880 are GPX4 allosteric inhibitors identified from the initial biophysical screening of 10,095 Lead Optimized Compounds (LOC). LOC1886 covalently modifies GPX4 Cys66 (allosteric site 1 ) and LOC880 binds to E50-F92-S44 (allosteric site 2) with a d of 8 μM (FIGS. 1A-1D). By employing the established assay funnel designed for quick identification of potential lead compounds (FIG. 2), the SAR optimizations on LOC1886 and LOC880 were conducted and provided herein.
SAR of LOC1886
[0122] For SAR optimizations based on LOC1886 scaffold, the imidazole group functions as an electrophile for the covalent modification of GPX4, hence remains unmodified. The indole scaffold was chosen to be modified with diverse substitution patterns and electronic effects. The electronic properties of the indole scaffold range from electron withdrawing to electron donating in order to modulate the reactivity of the imidazole. In addition, the imidazole was chosen to be linked to the indole via an amide linker because of the rigid structure and poor solubility of LOC1886. The amide linker increases the polarity, when compared to compounds
with an all-carbon backbone, which is beneficial for their water solubility, and this prevents aggregation. Since this work focused on the covalent rather than the noncovalent part of the intermolecular interaction between GPX4 and the ligand, relatively small scaffolds were chosen, resulting in fragment-like compounds (Scheme 1).
[0123] In total, nine LOC1886 analogs were synthesized and characterized through the assay funnel, and majority of the analogs exhibited enhanced affinity for GPX4 protein (FIG. 3). Specifically, LOC1886 analogs with halogen substitution on the indole ring, such as QW-002 and QW-052, present the most significant improvement on GPX4 binding. Considering that LOC1886 and its analogs are covalent inhibitors, a LCMS-based assay was developed to evaluate and compare the covalent binding potencies of GPX4 covalent inhibitors, in which the doseresponse bound percentage was calculated from the relative intensities of apo protein and protein-inhibitor complex. Accordingly, it was found QW57, QW64, and GRL-0496 featured better or comparable covalent binding potencies as LOC1886 (FIG. 4).

Scheme 1. LOC1886 synthesis design and synthesized analogs.
[0124] Using newly available crystal structures as guidance, several LOC1886 analogs bearing a similar warhead as RSL3 were also designed and synthesized.
(Scheme 2) Specifically, the imidazole warhead was replaced from the original LOC1886 with the chloroacetyl group from RSL3 for enhanced reactivity. The indole scaffold was connected to the warhead via a 2-methylpropyl linker that extends further into the long hydrophobic cavity, bringing the indole ring closer to W136 and allowing for improved π -π stacking. The indole ring was also modified with diverse substitution patterns and electronic effects to modulate the stacking strength.
Additionally, we chose to link the indole to the 2-methylpropyl linker via an amide bond to enhance the solubility and prevent aggregation.

Scheme 2. More on LOC1886 SAR.
[0125] In total, six LOC1886 analogs within this new category of SAR have been synthesized and characterized through the assay funnel, and the majority of the analogs exhibited enhanced affinity for GPX4 protein (Scheme 2, FIG. 5A). Specifically, QW-152, QW-156 and QW-158 showed 400-fold, 100-fold and 1000- fold binding enhancement, respectively, compared to the original LOC1886. The LC- MS binding assay also confirmed the total exhaustion of apo-GPX4 when incubated with 8-fold excess of inhibitors (FIG. 5B). The in vitro inhibitory efficiencies of those analogs on GPX4 are further validated using the NADPH-coupled biochemical assay. Among the 6 analogs tested, QW-152, QW-156 and QW-158 showed significant improvement on GPX4 inhibition, with 200 μM of each analog achieving comparable inhibitory output as 100 μM of RSL3 (FIG. 5C).
SAR O LOC880
[0126] For SAR optimizations based on LQC880 scaffold, 3 regions of the molecule were proposed to be individually targeted: (1) modifications on the phthalimide ring in region A by adding substituted groups to rapidly prepare a variety of analogues in a parallel chemistry format, (2) substitutions with various amino acids in region with the goal of optimizing the physicochemical properties (pKa, tPSA, MW, cLogP, and hydrogen bond donors) for good oral bioavailability and brain penetration, (3) replacement of the Tin in region C with a carbon or silicon atom while keeping the methyl groups fixed in the terminus to reduce potential toxicity (Scheme 3).

Scheme 3. LOC880 synthesis design and synthesized analogs.
[0127] A series of LOC880 analogs were synthesized in good to excellent yields by reacting a library of natural/unnatural a-amino acids, /3-amino acids and y/w-amino acids with different phthalic anhydrides, and te/Y-butyl alcohol to furnish the corresponding library. All the substrates furnished the expected LOC880 analogs, almost irrespective of the electronic and steric factors of the substituents present. As shown in Scheme 2, various amino acids including glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, 2-phenylglycine, 2-methylalanine, te/t-leucine, O-benzyl-tyrosine, 1-methyl-tryptophan, glutamic acid 5-methyl ester, aspartic acid-4-te/t-butyl ester, /3-alanine, y-aminobutyric acid, and w-amino valeric acid proceeded well in this protocol. Meanwhile, phthalic anhydrides bearing electron-withdrawing groups such as 5-NO2 and 5-CI and an electron-donating group 4-OMe was compatible in this process to deliver the products. 2,3-naphthalic anhydride demonstrated good behavior in the methodology. Several analogs from the library were evaluated by thermal denaturation assay and microscale
thermophoresis (MST) to validate their bindings to GPX4. All tested compounds showed enhanced binding affinities compared to original LOC880 scaffold, the apparent Kd of QW-011 and QW-017 towards GPX4 is in the sub-micromolar range (FIG. 6). Specifically, 1) replacement of tin with carbon, QW-017, has no significant effects on binding affinity; 2) chloride substitution on region A of the LOC880 scaffold improves binding affinity, while other substitutions render less efficient GPX4 binding, which indicates small electrophiles can be further explored, and 3) there is an optimal cut-off regarding the length of the carbon chain in region B, increase the length from CH2 to (CH2)3 yields 8-fold improvement on the observed binding affinity, while further increase in the length to (CH2)3 negatively impacts the binding affinity.
[0128] Following the same strategy outlined in Scheme 3, more LOC88O analogs were synthesized:

[0129] Similarly, the scope of amino acids in the above newly synthesized LOC880 analogs was explored. The reaction of amino acids, such as alanine, valine, 5-aminovaleric acid, O- tert-Butyl-L-serine under the conditions resulted in the formation of QW-089, QW-082, QW-079, QW-108 in good yields. The transformation also proceeded well for several alcohols, such as 3-methyl-1 -butanol, 3-butynol, 2- ethoxyethanol, and 4-nitrophenol, providing the desired products QW-069, QW-070, QW-074, QW-087 smoothly. Furthermore, reacting with tert-Leucine and tert-butyl alcohol, phthalic anhydrides bearing various substituted groups successfully participated in the reaction to form the desired products. Lastly, parallel synthesis of amides was conducted by replacing alcohols with amines and the primary amines underwent the reaction with phthalic anhydrides and amino acids to generate 13 corresponding products, whereas secondary amines gave 2 desired products.
Scheme 4. LOC880 analogs installed with a warhead via piperazine link.
[0131] Analogs of LOC880 and LOC1886 have also been screened in the NADPH-coupled GPX4 activity assay (FIGS. 5C and 7). LOC880 analogs were assessed at 1 mM, while LOC1886 analogs were assessed at 200 uM due to absorbance interference constraints. Compounds with poor solubility in the assay buffer were assessed at lower concentrations. Many analogs show improved inhibition of GPX4 activity over the parent compound. A few compounds show greater than 50% inhibition of GPX4 activity. Further characterization and validation
of these hits are currently in progress, and results will be used to inform further inhibitor optimization.
[0132] In parallel, MST analysis of the synthesized LOC880 analogs have provided insights into future SAR optimizations. The full list of measured KdS of LOC880 and LOC1886 analogs can be found in Table 1. Specifically, linker length has played a major role in binding affinity, with 3- and 4-atom linker length ideal for tighter binding. (FIG. 8A) Additionally, halogen substitution on the indole ring has shown improvements in both solubility and binding affinity (FIG. 8B), and the long hydrophobic side chain in region B also enhances the observed binding affinity (FIG.
8C)
[0133] Some of the best performing compounds thus far have been tested for induction of lipid peroxidation using flow cytometry with C11-BODIPY in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells, an established ferroptosis model system (FIG. 9). 2.5 x 105 HT1080 cells per well were seeded in 6-well plates and cells were treated with drug the next day for 2 hours, then stained with 1.5uM C11-BODIPY for 20 min. Cells were then washed with HBSS and harvested for analysis. LOC1886/QW-044, QW-
078, QW-095, and QW-105 show increased lipid peroxidation that is rescuable by ferrostatin-1 , a ferroptosis inhibitor, potentially suggesting GPX4 inhibition in cells. However, cellular dose response assays with HT1080, and HepG2, Huh7 and Skhep-1 liver cancer cells have not shown ferrostatin-1 rescue, and Glso values for most compounds have been in the micromolar range (FIG. 10). In another set of test, QW-148, QW-152, QW-156, QW-158 and QW-162 induces ferrostatin-1 rescuable cell death in Huh7, HLF, and SKHEP-1 liver cancer cell lines (FIGS. 11A-11 F), and show increased lipid peroxidation that is rescuable by ferrostatin-1 (FIG. 12), and. Further optimization of these compounds may be required to improve potency and specificity in the cellular context. We will use the GPX4 crystal structures that we have obtained to inform the further design and development of improved molecules for synthesis.
[0134] So far, we have solved and refined six crystal structures of GPX4U46C with six different inhibitors (RSL3, ML162, CDS9, TMT10, MAC_5576, and LOC1886) covalently bound to Cys-66 of GPX4. FIGS. 13A-13H depict the cartoon representation of the crystal structures of GPX4U46C with RSL3, ML162, CDS9, and TMT10. As shown in the figure, these four covalent inhibitors are selectively bound to residue Cys-66, as opposed to MAC-5576 and LOC1886, which bound to both Cys-10 and Cys-66 (FIG. 131).
[0135] Taken together, these data suggested that we have identified several analogs of LOC880 and LOC1886 with better binding affinity to GPX4 according to MST tests, and their structures provided us with novel pharmacophores for further optimization. MST measurement for the remaining analogs and detailed biophysical and biochemical characterizations are currently underway via our established test funnels.
Example 2 Large-scale screen for novel compounds that bind in the RSL3-binding site of GPX4
[0136] Other than LOC880 and LOC1886 analogs described above, 2.8 billion compounds wer screened from the Wuxi DELopen DNA-encoded library against GPX4. HisTag-GPX4 was immobilized onto affinity matrix and incubated with pooled DEL molecules, the bound and unbound molecules were separated, and the isolated
binders were decoded through DNA sequencing. Top hits from the DEL screening, which featured over 10,000-fold enrichment on the immobilized GPX4 target over the negative control, were re-synthesized without DNA tag for subsequent bioactivity confirmation (see below, DEL_A to DEL_G). Preliminary MST tests of selected DELopen compounds validated the outcomes of the screening, and all selected compounds showed lower micromolar to nanomolar binding affinity (FIG. 14).
[0137] All DELopen compounds have undergone initial testing in the NADPH- coupled activity assay with many compounds showing promising effects with over 80% inhibition (FIG. 15). Typically, compounds were initially assessed at 1mM, but maximal concentrations were selected for testing the DELopen hits based on solubility limitations in the assay buffer and observed interference with the NADPH absorbance signal at 340nm. Further validation and characterization will be performed via both NADPH-coupled and LC/MS-based GPX4 activity assays. Downstream cellular assays will be performed on the most promising candidates. Meanwhile, more analogs of DEL_B1 , DEL_B2 and DEL_F will be synthesized and tested. Exemplary analogs are listed below:
[0138] Structural studies of GPX4U46C with DELopen compounds and LOC880, LOC1886 analogs were also conducted. GPX4 with each of these molecules were robotically screened for crystallization conditions, from which several promising crystal hits were obtained. Images of representative hit for each GPX4- inihibitor complex is shown in FIG. 16.
Example 3
Other high-throughput screen for novel compounds that inhibit GPX4
[0139] In addition, we have completed another high-throughput screen using an Enamine Diversity Library of 60,638 compounds. Library compounds were first screened for decreased cell viability in HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells with empty vector pBP, then counter screened in HT1080 cells containing a GPX4 overexpression vector. Hits were defined as compounds for which GPX4 overexpression provided at least 20% rescue in cell viability. Some exemplary compounds are listed below:
