Definitions

  • the present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds, and more specifically to certain 4-substituted-6-isopropyl-benzene-1 ,3-diol compounds (referred to herein as IBD compounds), which, inter alia, inhibit heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) function.
  • IBD compounds 4-substituted-6-isopropyl-benzene-1 ,3-diol compounds
  • HSP90 heat shock protein 90
  • the present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit HSP90 function, and in the treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by HSP90, that are ameliorated by the inhibition of HSP90 function, etc., including proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc.
  • Ranges are often expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by the use of the antecedent "about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment.
  • HSP90s are ubiquitous chaperone proteins that are involved in folding, activation and assembly of a wide range of proteins, including key proteins involved in signal transduction, cell cycle control and transcriptional regulation. It has been reported that HSP90 is associated with important signaling proteins, such as steroid hormone receptors and protein kinases, including, e.g., Raf-1 , EGFR, v-Src family kinases, Cdk4, and ErbB-2 (Buchner 1999; Stepanova et al., 1996,; Dai. et al., 1996).
  • certain co-chaperones e.g., Hsp70, p60/Hop/Stil, Hip, Bag1 , HSP40/Hdj2/Hsjl, immunophilins, p23, and p50, may assist HSP90 in its function (Caplan, 1999).
  • Ansamycin antibiotics e.g., herbimycin A (HA), geldanamycin (GM), and 17- AAG are thought to exert anticancerous effects by tight binding of the N-terminus binding site of HSP90, thereby destabilizing substrates that normally interact with HSP90 (Stebbins et a/ 1997,).
  • This pocket is highly conserved and has weak homology to the ATP-binding site of DNA gyrase (Stebbins. et al. 1997; Grenert et al., 1997). Further, ATP and ADP have both been shown to bind this pocket with low affinity and to have weak ATPase activity (Prodromou eif al., 1997; Panaretou et al., 1998).
  • ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors alters HSP90 function and inhibits, for example, protein folding and activation.
  • ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors have been shown to prevent binding of protein substrates to HSP90 (Scheibel et al., 1999, Schulte et al. 1995; Whitesell, et al., 1994).
  • Ansamycins have also been demonstrated to inhibit the ATP- dependent release of chaperone-associated protein substrates (Schneider et al., 1996; Sepp-Lorenzino et al., 1995,). In either event, the substrates are degraded by a ubiquitin- dependent process in the proteasome (Schneider, et al., 1996; Sepp-Lorenzino, 1995, Whitesell, etal., 1994).
  • HSP90 substrate destabilization occurs in tumour and non-transformed cells alike and has been shown to be especially effective on a subset of signalling regulators, e.g., Raf (Schulte et al., 1997; Schulte et al. 1995), nuclear steroid receptors (Segnitz and Gehring.
  • EGF receptor EGFR
  • Her2/Neu Hartmann et al., 1997; Miller et a/., 1994; Mimnaugh et a/., 1996; Schnur et al., 1995
  • CDK4 mutant p53
  • the ansamycin-induced loss of these proteins leads to the selective disruption of certain regulatory pathways and results in growth arrest at specific phases of the cell cycle (Muise-Helmericks, et a/., 1998) and apoptosis, and/or differentiation of cells so treated (Vasilevskaya, et a/., 1999).
  • HSP90 inhibitors have also been implicated in a wide variety of other utilities, including use as anti-inflammatory agents, anti-infectious disease agents, agents for treating autoimmunity, agents for treating ischemia, and agents useful in promoting nerve regeneration ('Rosen et al., 2002; Defranco et a/., 1999; Gold, 2001 ).
  • fibrogenic disorders including but not limited to scleroderma, polymyositis, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, liver cirrhosis, keloid formation, interstitial nephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis may also be treatable with HSP90 inhibitors (Strehlow, 2002).
  • Ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors thus hold great promise for the treatment and/or prevention of many types of disorders.
  • their relative insolubility makes them difficult to formulate and administer, and they are not easily synthesized and currently must, at least in part, be generated through fermentation.

Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90)
HSP90s are ubiquitous chaperone proteins that are involved in folding, activation and assembly of a wide range of proteins, including key proteins involved in signal transduction, cell cycle control and transcriptional regulation. It has been reported that HSP90 is associated with important signaling proteins, such as steroid hormone receptors and protein kinases, including, e.g., Raf-1 , EGFR, v-Src family kinases, Cdk4, and ErbB-2 (Buchner 1999; Stepanova et al., 1996,; Dai. et al., 1996). Furthermore, certain co-chaperones, e.g., Hsp70, p60/Hop/Stil, Hip, Bag1 , HSP40/Hdj2/Hsjl, immunophilins, p23, and p50, may assist HSP90 in its function (Caplan, 1999).
Ansamycin antibiotics, e.g., herbimycin A (HA), geldanamycin (GM), and 17- AAG are thought to exert anticancerous effects by tight binding of the N-terminus binding site of HSP90, thereby destabilizing substrates that normally interact with HSP90 (Stebbins et a/ 1997,). This pocket is highly conserved and has weak homology to the ATP-binding site of DNA gyrase (Stebbins. et al. 1997; Grenert et al., 1997). Further, ATP and ADP have both been shown to bind this pocket with low affinity and to have weak ATPase activity (Prodromou eif al., 1997; Panaretou et al., 1998). In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that occupancy of this N- terminal pocket by ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors alters HSP90 function and inhibits, for example, protein folding and activation. At high concentrations, ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors have been shown to prevent binding of protein substrates to HSP90 (Scheibel et al., 1999, Schulte et al. 1995; Whitesell, et al., 1994). Ansamycins have also been demonstrated to inhibit the ATP- dependent release of chaperone-associated protein substrates (Schneider et al., 1996; Sepp-Lorenzino et al., 1995,). In either event, the substrates are degraded by a ubiquitin- dependent process in the proteasome (Schneider, et al., 1996; Sepp-Lorenzino, 1995, Whitesell, etal., 1994).
HSP90 substrate destabilization occurs in tumour and non-transformed cells alike and has been shown to be especially effective on a subset of signalling regulators, e.g., Raf (Schulte et al., 1997; Schulte et al. 1995), nuclear steroid receptors (Segnitz and Gehring. 1997; Smith, et al., 1995), v-src (Whitesell et al., 1994) and certain transmembrane tyrosine kinases (Sepp-Lorenzino et a/., 1995) such as EGF receptor (EGFR) and Her2/Neu (Hartmann et al., 1997; Miller et a/., 1994; Mimnaugh et a/., 1996; Schnur et al., 1995), CDK4, and mutant p53 (Erlichman et al. 2001). The ansamycin-induced loss of these proteins leads to the selective disruption of certain regulatory pathways and results in growth arrest at specific phases of the cell cycle (Muise-Helmericks, et a/., 1998) and apoptosis, and/or differentiation of cells so treated (Vasilevskaya, et a/., 1999).
In addition to anti-cancer and antitumourigenic activity, HSP90 inhibitors have also been implicated in a wide variety of other utilities, including use as anti-inflammatory agents, anti-infectious disease agents, agents for treating autoimmunity, agents for treating ischemia, and agents useful in promoting nerve regeneration ('Rosen et al., 2002; Defranco et a/., 1999; Gold, 2001 ). In addition, fibrogenic disorders including but not limited to scleroderma, polymyositis, systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, liver cirrhosis, keloid formation, interstitial nephritis, and pulmonary fibrosis may also be treatable with HSP90 inhibitors (Strehlow, 2002).
Ansamycins and other HSP90 inhibitors thus hold great promise for the treatment and/or prevention of many types of disorders. However, their relative insolubility makes them difficult to formulate and administer, and they are not easily synthesized and currently must, at least in part, be generated through fermentation. Further, the dose limiting toxicity of ansamyins is hepatic.

Isomers
Certain compounds may exist in one or more particular geometric, optical, enantiomeric, diasteriomeric, epimeric, atropic, stereoisomeric, tautomeric, conformational, or anomeric forms, including but not limited to, cis- and trans-forms; E- and Z-forms; o, t-, and r- forms; endo- and exo-forms; R-, S-, and meso-forms; D- and L-forms; d- and l-forms; (+) and (-) forms; keto-, enol-, and enolate-forms; syn- and anti-forms; synclinal- and anticlinal-forms; α- and β-forms; axial and equatorial forms; boat-, chair-, twist-, envelope-, and halfchair-forms; and combinations thereof, hereinafter collectively referred to as "isomers" (or "isomeric forms").
Note that, except as discussed below for tautomeric forms, specifically excluded from the term "isomers," as used herein, are structural (or constitutional) isomers (i.e., isomers which differ in the connections between atoms rather than merely by the position of atoms in space). For example, a reference to a methoxy group, -OCH3, is not to be construed as a reference to its structural isomer, a hydroxymethyl group, -CH2OH. Similarly, a reference to ortho-chlorophenyl is not to be construed as a reference to its structural isomer, meta-chlorophenyl. However, a reference to a class of structures may well include structurally isomeric forms falling within that class (e.g., Ci-7alkyl includes n-propyl and iso-propyl; butyl includes n-, iso-, sec-, and tert-butyl; methoxyphenyl includes ortho-, meta-, and para-methoxyphenyl).
The above exclusion does not pertain to tautomeric forms, for example, keto-, enol-, and enolate-forms, as in, for example, the following tautomeric pairs: keto/enol (illustrated below), imine/enamine, amide/imino alcohol, amidine/amidine, nitroso/oxime, thioketone/enethiol, N-nitroso/hydroxyazo, and nitro/aci-nitro. keto enol enolate
Note that specifically included in the term "isomer" are compounds with one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including 1H, 2H (D), and 3H (T); C may be in any isotopic form, including 12C, 13C, and 14C; O may be in any isotopic form, including 16O and 18O; and the like.
Unless otherwise specified, a reference to a particular compound includes all such isomeric forms, including mixtures (e.g., racemic mixtures) thereof. Methods for the preparation (e.g., asymmetric synthesis) and separation (e.g., fractional crystallisation and chromatographic means) of such isomeric forms are either known in the art or are readily obtained by adapting the methods taught herein, or known methods, in a known manner. Salts
It may be convenient or desirable to prepare, purify, and/or handle a corresponding salt of the compound, for example, a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts are discussed in Berge et al., 1977, "Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts," J. Pharm. ScL Vol. 66, pp. 1-19.
For example, if the compound is anionic, or has a functional group which may be anionic (e.g., -COOH may be -COO"), then a salt may be formed with a suitable cation. Examples of suitable inorganic cations include, but are not limited to, alkali metal ions such as Na+ and K+, alkaline earth cations such as Ca2+ and Mg2+, and other cations such as Al+3. Examples of suitable organic cations include, but are not limited to, ammonium ion (i.e., NH4 +) and substituted ammonium ions (e.g., NH3R+, NH2R2 +, NHR3 +, NR4 +). Examples of some suitable substituted ammonium ions are those derived from: ethylamine, diethylamine, dicyclohexylamine, triethylamine, butylamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperazine, benzylamine, phenylbenzylamine, choline, meglumine, and trometharnine, as well as amino acids, such as lysine and arginine. An example of a common quaternary ammonium ion is N(CH3)4 +.
If the compound is cationic, or has a functional group which may be cationic (e.g., -NH2 may be -NH3 +), then a salt may be formed with a suitable anion. Examples of suitable inorganic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following inorganic acids: hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, sulfurous, nitric, nitrous, phosphoric, and phosphorous.
Examples of suitable organic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following organic acids: 2-acetyoxybenzoic, acetic, ascorbic, aspartic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, cinnamic, citric, edetic, ethanedisulfonic, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, glucheptonic, gluconic, glutamic, glycolic, hydroxymaleic, hydroxynaphthalene carboxylic, isethionic, lactic, lactobionic, lauric, maleic, malic, methanesulfonic, mucic, oleic, oxalic, palmitic, pamoic, pantothenic, phenylacetic, phenylsulfonic, propionic, pyruvic, salicylic, stearic, succinic, sulfanilic, tartaric, toluenesulfonic, and valeric. Examples of suitable polymeric organic anions include, but are not limited to, those derived from the following polymeric acids: tannic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose.
Unless otherwise specified, a reference to a particular compound also includes salt forms thereof. Solvates and Hydrates
It may be convenient or desirable to prepare, purify, and/or handle a corresponding solvate of the compound. The term "solvate" is used herein in the conventional sense to refer to a complex of solute (e.g., compound, salt of compound) and solvent. If the solvent is water, the solvate may be conveniently referred to as a hydrate, for example, a mono-hydrate, a di-hydrate, a tri-hydrate, etc.
Unless otherwise specified, a reference to a particular compound also includes solvate and hydrate forms thereof.
Chemically Protected Forms
It may be convenient or desirable to prepare, purify, and/or handle the compound in a chemically protected form. The term "chemically protected form" is used herein in the conventional chemical sense and pertains to a compound in which one or more reactive functional groups are protected from undesirable chemical reactions under specified conditions (e.g., pH, temperature, radiation, solvent, and the like). In practice, well known chemical methods are employed to reversibly render unreactive a functional group, which otherwise would be reactive, under specified conditions. In a chemically protected form, one or more reactive functional groups are in the form of a protected or protecting group (also known as a masked or masking group or a blocked or blocking group). By protecting a reactive functional group, reactions involving other unprotected reactive functional groups can be performed, without affecting the protected group; the protecting group may be removed, usually in a subsequent step, without substantially affecting the remainder of the molecule. See, for example, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (T. Green and P. Wuts; 3rd Edition; John Wiley and Sons, 1999).
A wide variety of such "protecting," "blocking," or "masking" methods are widely used and well known in organic synthesis. For example, a compound which has two nonequivalent reactive functional groups, both of which would be reactive under specified conditions, may be derivatized to render one of the functional groups "protected," and therefore unreactive, under the specified conditions; so protected, the compound may be used as a reactant which has effectively only one reactive functional group. After the desired reaction (involving the other functional group) is complete, the protected group may be "deprotected" to return it to its original functionality.
For example, a hydroxy group may be protected as an ether (-OR) or an ester (-OC(=O)R), for example, as: a t-butyl ether; a benzyl, benzhydryl (diphenylmethyl), or trityl (triphenylmethyl) ether; a trimethylsilyl or t-butyldimethylsilyl ether; or an acetyl ester (-OC(=O)CH3l -OAc). For example, an aldehyde or ketone group may be protected as an acetal (R-CH(OR)2) or ketal (R2C(OR)2), respectively, in which the carbonyl group (>C=O) is converted to a diether (>C(OR)2), by reaction with, for example, a primary alcohol. The aldehyde or ketone group is readily regenerated by hydrolysis using a large excess of water in the presence of acid.
For example, an amine group may be protected, for example, as an amide (-NRCO-R) or a urethane (-NRCO-OR), for example, as: a methyl amide (-NHCO-CH3); a benzyloxy amide (-NHCO-OCH2C6H5, -NH-Cbz); as a t-butoxy amide (-NHCO-OC(CH3)3, -NH-Boc); a 2-biphenyl-2-propoxy amide (-NHCO-OC(CHs)2C6H4C6H5, -NH-Bpoc), as a 9- fluorenylmethoxy amide (-NH-Fmoc), as a 6-nitroveratryloxy amide (-NH-Nvoc), as a 2-trimethylsilylethyloxy amide (-NH-Teoc), as a 2,2,2-trichloroethyloxy amide (-NH-Troc), as an allyloxy amide (-NH-Alloc), as a 2(-phenylsulfonyl)ethyloxy amide (-NH-Psec); or, in suitable cases (e.g., cyclic amines), as a nitroxide radical (>N-O*).
For example, a carboxylic acid group may be protected as an ester for example, as: an C1-7alkyl ester (e.g., a methyl ester; a t-butyl ester); a C-i-7haloalkyl ester (e.g., a Ci-7trihaloalkyl ester); a triC1-7alkylsiiyl-C1-7alkyl ester; or a C5.2oaryl-C1-7alkyl ester (e.g., a benzyl ester; a nitrobenzyl ester); or as an amide, for example, as a methyl amide.
For example, a thiol group may be protected as a thioether (-SR), for example, as: a benzyl thioether; an acetamidomethyl ether (-S-CH2NHC(=O)CH3).
Prodrugs
it may be convenient or desirable to prepare, purify, and/or handle the compound in the form of a prodrug. The term "prodrug," as used herein, pertains to a compound which, when metabolised (e.g., in vivo), yields the desired active compound. Typically, the prodrug is inactive, or less active than the desired active compound, but may provide advantageous handling, administration, or metabolic properties.
For example, some prodrugs are esters of the active compound (e.g., a physiologically acceptable metabolically labile ester). During metabolism, the ester group (-C(=O)OR) is cleaved to yield the active drug. Such esters may be formed by esterification, for example, of any of the carboxylic acid groups (-C(=0)0H) in the parent compound, with, where appropriate, prior protection of any other reactive groups present in the parent compound, followed by deprotection if required.
Also, some prodrugs are activated enzymatically to yield the active compound, or a compound which, upon further chemical reaction, yields the active compound (for example, as in ADEPT, GDEPT, LIDEPT, etc.). For example, the prodrug may be a sugar derivative or other glycoside conjugate, or may be an amino acid ester derivative.

Losenges typically comprise the compound in a flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth. Pastilles typically comprise the compound in an inert matrix, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia. Mouthwashes typically comprise the compound in a suitable liquid carrier.
Formulations suitable for sublingual administration include tablets, losenges, pastilles, capsules, and pills.
Formulations suitable for oral transmucosal administration include liquids, solutions (e.g., aqueous, non-aqueous), suspensions (e.g., aqueous, non-aqueous), emulsions (e.g., oil- in-water, water-in-oil), mouthwashes, losenges, pastilles, as well as patches, adhesive plasters, depots, and reservoirs.
Formulations suitable for non-oral transmucosal administration include liquids, solutions (e.g., aqueous, non-aqueous), suspensions (e.g., aqueous, non-aqueous), emulsions (e.g., oil-in-water, water-in-oil), suppositories, pessaries, gels, pastes, ointments, creams, lotions, oils, as well as patches, adhesive plasters, depots, and reservoirs.
Formulations suitable for transdermal administration include gels, pastes, ointments, creams, lotions, and oils, as well as patches, adhesive plasters, bandages, dressings, depots, and reservoirs.
Tablets may be made by conventional means, e.g., compression or moulding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the compound in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with one or more binders (e.g., povidone, gelatin, acacia, sorbitol, tragacanth, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose); fillers or diluents (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc, silica); disintegrants (e.g., sodium starch glycolate, cross-linked povidone, cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose); surface-active or dispersing or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate); preservatives (e.g., methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid); flavours, flavour enhancing agents, and sweeteners. Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the compound therein using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile. Tablets may optionally be provided with a coating, for example, to affect release, for example an enteric coating, to provide release in parts of the gut other than the stomach.
Ointments are typically prepared from the compound and a paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base.
Creams are typically prepared from the compound and an oil-in-water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example, at least about 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol, i.e., an alcohol having two or more hydroxyl groups such as propylene glycol, butane-1 ,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulations may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the compound through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogues.
Emulsions are typically prepared from the compound and an oily phase, which may optionally comprise merely an emulsifier (otherwise known as an emulgent), or it may comprises a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabiliser. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabiliser(s) make up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and/or fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations.
Suitable emulgents and emulsion stabilisers include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate and sodium lauryl sulfate. The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations may be very low. Thus the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2-ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters known as Crodamol CAP may be used, the last three being preferred esters. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.
Formulations suitable for intranasal administration, where the carrier is a liquid, include, for example, nasal spray, nasal drops, or by aerosol administration by nebuliser, include aqueous or oily solutions of the compound. Formulations suitable for intranasal administration, where the carrier is a solid, include, for example, those presented as a coarse powder having a particle size, for example, in the range of about 20 to about 500 microns which is administered in the manner in which snuff is taken, i.e., by rapid inhalation through the nasal passage from a container of the powder held close up to the nose.
Formulations suitable for pulmonary administration (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation therapy) include those presented as an aerosol spray from a pressurised pack, with the use of a suitable propellant, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichoro-tetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide, or other suitable gases.
Formulations suitable for ocular administration include eye drops wherein the compound is dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the compound.
Formulations suitable for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with a suitable base comprising, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-liquid or liquid polyols, for example, cocoa butter or a salicylate; or as a solution or suspension for treatment by enema.
Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing in addition to the compound, such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.
Formulations suitable for parenteral administration (e.g., by injection), include aqueous or non-aqueous, isotonic, pyrogen-free, sterile liquids (e.g., solutions, suspensions), in which the compound is dissolved, suspended, or otherwise provided (e.g., in a liposome or other microparticulate). Such liquids may additional contain other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients, such as anti-oxidants, buffers, preservatives, stabilisers, bacteriostats, suspending agents, thickening agents, and solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood (or other relevant bodily fluid) of the intended recipient. Examples of excipients include, for example, water, alcohols, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oils, and the like. Examples of suitable isotonic carriers for use in such formulations include Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer's Solution, or Lactated Ringer's Injection.
Typically, the concentration of the compound in the liquid is from about 1 ng/ml to about 10 μg/ml, for example from about 10 ng/ml to about 1 μg/ml. The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, for example, ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilised) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets.
Dosage
It will be appreciated by one of skill in the art that appropriate dosages of the IBD compounds, and compositions comprising the IBD compounds, can vary from patient to patient. Determining the optimal dosage will generally involve the balancing of the level of therapeutic benefit against any risk or deleterious side effects. The selected dosage level will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the activity of the particular IBD compound, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the IBD compound, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds, and/or materials used in combination, the severity of the condition, and the species, sex, age, weight, condition, general health, and prior medical history of the patient. The amount of IBD compound and route of administration will ultimately be at the discretion of the physician, veterinarian, or clinician, although generally the dosage will be selected to achieve local concentrations at the site of action which achieve the desired effect without causing substantial harmful or deleterious side-effects.
Administration can be effected in one dose, continuously or intermittently (e.g., in divided doses at appropriate intervals) throughout the course of treatment. Methods of determining the most effective means and dosage of administration are well known to those of skill in the art and will vary with the formulation used for therapy, the purpose of the therapy, the target cell(s) being treated, and the subject being treated. Single or multiple administrations can be carried out with the dose level and pattern being selected by the treating physician, veterinarian, or clinician.
In general, a suitable dose of the IBD compound is in the range of about 10 μg to about 250 mg (more typically about 100 μg to about 25 mg) per kilogram body weight of the subject per day. Where the compound is a salt, an ester, an amide, a prodrug, or the like, the amount administered is calculated on the basis of the parent compound and so the actual weight to be used is increased proportionately.

Biological Methods
Primary Assay : ATPase Activity
Briefly, this assay relies on the enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + Pi (inorganic phosphate) by the yeast homologue of Hsp90, Hsp82. The level of Pi is detected by malachite green reagent. Measurement of Pi formation in the presence and absence of of a test compound provides an indication of that compounds ability to inhibit Hsp82 activity.
Hsp82 was recombinant^ expressed as a GST-tagged protein from E. CoIi. Hsp82 was incubated for 3 hours in assay buffer (50 mM HEPES-KOH, pH 7.5, 150 mM KAc, 8 mM MgAc, 0.25 mg/ml BSA) with 500 mM ATP in the presence of test compound. The extent of Pi formation was determined by addition of 100 μL malachite green solution (0.2% (w/v), ammonium molybdate, 0.7 M HCI, 0.03% (w/v) malachite green, 0.05% (v/v) Triton X-100) followed by 10 μL 37% (w/v) sodium citrate.
Expression/purification of GST-Hsp82
Rossetta pLysS (Novagen Inc) transformed with pGEX6P-Hsp82, were grown in Lennox Broth (supplemented with 100 μ/mL Ampicillin, 30 μg/mL Chloramphenical) at 37°C with agitation. At 0.70D6oo. the cultures were cooled to 300C and induced with 0.5 μM IPTG for 3 hours. The cultures were harvested by centrifugation (Sorvall GS3 rotor, ΘOOOrpm, 10 minutes). Each 1 L pellet was re-suspended in 20 mL ice cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) + 1% Tween + 1x complete protease inhibitors (Roche), 200 mM KCI,
10 mM DTT and incubated on ice for 5 minutes. The cell suspensions were sonicated at maximum power 4 x 10 second bursts on ice. Triton was added to a final concentration of 1% (v/v) and the lysates centrifuged (Sorvall SS34 rotor, 20,000 rpm, 20 minutes, 40C). The supematants were recovered and added to 2 mL of 50% v/v GST-Sepharose-4B beads in PBS + 1% Tween (PBST) and incubated on a rotating wheel at 4°C for 1 hour. The GST-beads were washed twice in 25 mL of PBST. Protein was eluted 3 times in 1 mL of 50 mM Tris, pH 8, 10 mM reduced glutathione. Each elution was performed for 5 minutes at 4°C on a rotating wheel.
Assay method
GST-Hsp82 was incubated with 500 mM ATP along with appropriate dilutions of candidate compounds (5 μL) in a total volume of 50 μL of assay buffer in clear 96 well plates (nunc polysorp). The reaction was carried out at 370C for 3 hours, after which 100 μL of malachite green solution (prepared 30 minutes earlier) was added followed by 10 //L of 37% (w/v) sodium citrate. The colour reaction was allowed to develop for 10 minutes and then measured on a scanning multi-well spectrophotometer at 690 nm.
Percent activity (% activity) for each test compound was calculated as:
% activity = { (Sc - B) / (S0 - B) } x 100
wherein Sc denotes signal measured in the presence of enzyme and the compound being tested, S° denotes signal measured in the presence of enzyme but in the absence of the compound being tested, and B denotes the background signal measured in the absence of both enzyme and compound being tested. The IC50 corresponds to the concentration which achieves 50% activity.
Secondary Assays
Compounds with Hsp90 inhibition activity, as determined using the primary assay, were subsequently evaluated using one or more secondary cell-based assays.
Secondary Assay: Her-2 Degradation Assay
Compounds which inhibit intracellular Hsp90 will result in the degradation of Hsp90 client proteins. HER2 is a well characterized client protein of Hsp90 and has been reliably shown to be degraded in response to Hsp90 inhibitors. This assay measures the quantity of extracellular HER2 present on MCF7 breast carcinoma cells by fluorescence.
MCF7 breast carcinoma cells (ATCC) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 units/mL penicillin and 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin plated in 6-well plates (400,000 cells/well/2mL). 24 hours later (cells were 65-70% confluent), test compounds were added at appropriate concentrations and the radicicol control at 1 μM and incubated overnight for 16 hours. The wells were washed with 1 mL of PBS, and 500 μL trypsin was added to each well. After trypsinization was complete, 1 mL of Media was added to each well. The cells were transferred to 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes and centrifuged at 6000 rpm (Eppendorf benchtop centrifuge) for 5 minutes. The supernatant was drawn off and discarded, and the cell pellet was washed twice in PBA buffer (PBS + 0.2% w/v BSA and 0.2% w/v sodium azide). The cells were then re-suspended in 100 μL PBA + PE conjugated anti-Her-2/neu antibody (Becton Dickinson, #340552, 1/20, final concentration 0.25 μg/mL) at 4°C on a rotating wheel for 1 hour. The cells were washed twice with 1 mL of PBA buffer, resuspended in 500 μL of FACS flow buffer (BD Biosciences), and transferred to FACSCAN tubes. Samples were analyzed using a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA) configured to emit 488 nm-light to excite the phycoerythrin fluorochrome. 30,000 events were collected per sample. A fluorescence histogram was generated and the Geometric mean (GE) of each sample was determined using Cellquest software. Cells were always incubated with DMSO as untreated controls, since the compounds were re-suspended in DMSO and 1 μM radicicol as the positive control.
Compound activity was expressed as the leftwards fold shift in the GE relative to the untreated control:
activity = Sc/ S°
wherein Sc denotes GE measured in the presence of enzyme and the compound being tested, S0 denotes signal measured in the untreated control.
Secondary Assay: HCT116 WST-1 Assay
The following cell line was used: HCT116 - Human colorectal cancer cell line (ATCC CCL-247). Cells were cultured, exposed to candidate compounds, and incubated for a time, and the number of viable cells was then assessed using the Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1 from Boehringer Mannheim (Cat. No. 1 644 807), described below.
Cells were plated in 96-well plates at 3-10 x 103 cells/well in 100 μl_ of culture medium. The following day, different concentrations of candidate compounds were added and the cells incubated at 370C for 48 hours. Subsequently, 10 μL/well of WST-1 reagent was added and the cells re-incubated for 1 hour. After the incubation time, absorbance was measured.
WST-1 is a tetrazolium salt which is cleaved to formazan dye by cellular enzymes. An expansion in the number of viable cells results in an increase in the overall activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases in the sample. This augmentation in the enzyme activity leads to an increase in the amount of formazan dye formed, which directly correlates to the number of metabolically active cells in the culture. The formazan dye produced is quantified by a scanning multi-well spectrophotometer by measuring the absorbance of the dye solution at 450 nm wavelength (reference wavelength: 690 nm).
Percent activity (% activity) in reducing the number of viable cells was calculated for each test compound as:
% activity = { (Sc - B) / (S° - B) } x 100
wherein Sc denotes signal measured in the presence of the compound being tested, S0 denotes signal measured in the absence of the compound being tested, and B denotes the background signal measured in blank wells containing medium only. The IC50 corresponds to the concentration which achieves 50% activity. IC50 values were calculated using the software package Prism 4.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA).
