[0042] Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E.L.

-S^COie, -SO2Raa, -Si(Raa)3, -P(RCC)2, -P(RCC)3+X“, -P(ORCC)2, -P(ORCC)3+X-, -P(=O)(Raa)2, -P(=O)(ORCC)2, and -P(=O)(N(Rbb) 2)2, wherein R^, Rbb, and Rcc are as defined herein. Sulfur protecting groups are well known in the art and include those described in detail in Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1999, incorporated herein by reference.
[0096] In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a substituent is lower than 250, lower than 200, lower than 150, lower than 100, or lower than 50 g/mol. In certain embodiments, a substituent consists of carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, and/or silicon atoms. In certain embodiments, a substituent consists of carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, oxygen, sulfur, and/or nitrogen atoms. In certain embodiments, a substituent consists of carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and/or iodine atoms. In certain embodiments, a substituent consists of carbon, hydrogen, fluorine, and/or chlorine atoms. In certain embodiments, a substituent comprises 0, 1, 2, or 3 hydrogen bond donors. In certain embodiments, a substituent comprises 0, 1, 2, or 3 hydrogen bond acceptors.
[0097] Use of the phrase “at least one instance” refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.
[0098] The disclosure is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents. Additional terms may be defined in other sections of this disclosure. [0099] As used herein, the term “salt” refers to any and all salts, and encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Salts include ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. A salt is composed of one or more cations (positively charged ions) and one or more anions (negative ions) so that the salt is electrically neutral (without a net charge). Salts of the compounds of the present disclosure include those derived from inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate, hippurate, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N+(Ci > alkyl)4 salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further salts include ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
[00100] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present disclosure include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N+(CI-4 alkyl)4 salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
[00101] The term “solvate” refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[00102] The term “stoichiometric solvate” refers to a solvate, which comprises a compound (e.g., a compound disclosed herein) and a solvent, wherein the solvent molecules are an integral part of the crystal lattice, in which they interact strongly with the compound and each other. The removal of the solvent molecules will cause instability of the crystal network, which subsequently collapses into an amorphous phase or recrystallizes as a new crystalline form with reduced solvent content.
[00103] The term “non-stoichiometric solvate” refers to a solvate, which comprises a compound (e.g., a compound disclosed herein) and a solvent, wherein the solvent content may vary without major changes in the crystal structure. The amount of solvent in the crystal lattice only depends on the partial pressure of solvent in the surrounding atmosphere. In the fully solvated state, non-stoichiometric solvates may, but not necessarily have to, show an integer molar ratio of solvent to the compound. During drying of a non-stoichiometric solvate, a portion of the solvent may be removed without significantly disturbing the crystal network, and the resulting solvate can subsequently be resolvated to give the initial crystalline form. Unlike stoichiometric solvates, the desolvation and resolvation of non- stoichiometric solvates is not accompanied by a phase transition, and all solvation states represent the same crystal form.
[00104] The term “hydrate” refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H2O, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R O.5 H2O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R-2 H2O) and hexahydrates (R-6 H2O)).
[00105] The term “tautomers” or “tautomeric” refers to two or more interconvertible compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam-to-lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations. [00106] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers”. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”.
[00107] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non- superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.
[00108] The term “co-crystal” refers to a crystalline structure comprising at least two different components (e.g., a compound disclosed herein and an acid), wherein each of the components is independently an atom, ion, or molecule. In certain embodiments, none of the components is a solvent. In certain embodiments, at least one of the components is a solvent. A co-crystal of a compound disclosed herein and an acid is different from a salt formed from a compound disclosed herein and the acid. In the salt, a compound disclosed herein is complexed with the acid in a way that proton transfer (e.g., a complete proton transfer) from the acid to a compound disclosed herein easily occurs at room temperature. In the co-crystal, however, a compound disclosed herein is complexed with the acid in a way that proton transfer from the acid to a compound disclosed herein does not easily occur at room temperature. In certain embodiments, in the co-crystal, there is no proton transfer from the acid to a compound disclosed herein. In certain embodiments, in the co-crystal, there is partial proton transfer from the acid to a compound disclosed herein. Co-crystals may be useful to improve the properties (e.g., solubility, stability, and ease of formulation) of a compound disclosed herein.
[00109] The term “polymorph” refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
[00110] The term “prodrugs” refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein, which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgaard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alky testers. C1-C8 alkyl, C2 -C8 alkenyl, C2 -C8 alkynyl, aryl, C7-C12 substituted aryl, and C7-C12 arylalkyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.
[00111] The terms “composition” and “formulation” are used interchangeably.
[00112] A “subject” to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (z.e., male or female of any age group, e.g., pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., primate (e.g., cynomolgus monkey or rhesus monkey), commercially relevant mammal (e.g., cattle, pig, horse, sheep, goat, cat, or dog), or bird (e.g., commercially relevant bird, such as chicken, duck, goose, or turkey)). In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a fish, reptile, or amphibian. The non-human animal may be a male or female at any stage of development. The non-human animal may be a transgenic animal or genetically engineered animal. The term “patient” refers to a human subject in need of treatment of a disease.
[00113] The term “biological sample” refers to any sample including tissue samples (such as tissue sections and needle biopsies of a tissue); cell samples (e.g., cytological smears (such as Pap or blood smears) or samples of cells obtained by microdissection); samples of whole organisms (such as samples of yeasts or bacteria); or cell fractions, fragments or organelles (such as obtained by lysing cells and separating the components thereof by centrifugation or otherwise). Other examples of biological samples include blood, serum, urine, semen, fecal matter, cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid, mucous, tears, sweat, pus, biopsied tissue (e.g., obtained by a surgical biopsy or needle biopsy), nipple aspirates, milk, vaginal fluid, saliva, swabs (such as buccal swabs), or any material containing biomolecules that is derived from a first biological sample.
[00114] The term “administer,” “administering,” or “administration” refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein, or a composition thereof, in or on a subject.
[00115] The terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of exposure to a pathogen). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.
[00116] The terms “condition,” “disease,” and “disorder” are used interchangeably. [00117] An “effective amount” of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response. An effective amount of a compound described herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, severeity of side effects, disease, or disorder, the identity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the particular compound, the condition being treated, the mode, route, and desired or required frequency of administration, the species, age and health or general condition of the subject. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a therapeutically effective amount. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is a prophylactic treatment. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the amount of a compound described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the combined amounts of a compound described herein in multiple doses. In certain embodiments, the desired dosage is delivered three times a day, two times a day, once a day, every other day, every third day, every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, or every four weeks.

[00119] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure are administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels sufficient to deliver from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, preferably from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 40 mg/kg, preferably from about 0.5 mg/kg to about 30 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 10 mg/kg, and more preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.
[00120] It will be appreciated that dose ranges as described herein provide guidance for the administration of provided pharmaceutical compositions to an adult. The amount to be administered to, for example, a child or an adolescent can be determined by a medical practitioner or person skilled in the art and can be lower or the same as that administered to an adult.
[00121] A “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of the condition, and/or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient for inhibiting TEAD. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient for treating cancer. In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient for inhibiting TEAD and treating cancer.
[00122] A “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound described herein is an amount sufficient to prevent a condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the condition or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the condition. The term “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent. In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient for inhibiting TEAD. In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient for preventing cancer. In certain embodiments, a prophylactically effective amount is an amount sufficient for inhibiting TEAD and preventing cancer.
[00123] The term “prevent,” “preventing,” or “prevention” refers to a prophylactic treatment of a subject who is not and was not with a disease but is at risk of developing the disease or who was with a disease, is not with the disease, but is at risk of regression of the disease. In certain embodiments, the subject is at a higher risk of developing the disease or at a higher risk of regression of the disease than an average healthy member of a population.
[00124] As used herein the term “inhibit” or “inhibition” in the context of enzymes, for example, in the context of TEAD, refers to a reduction in activity. In some embodiments, the term refers to a reduction of the level of activity, e.g., TEAD activity, to a level that is statistically significantly lower than an initial level, which may, for example, be a baseline level of activity. In some embodiments, the term refers to a reduction of the level of activity, e.g., TEAD activity, to a level that is less than 75%, less than 50%, less than 40%, less than 30%, less than 25%, less than 20%, less than 10%, less than 9%, less than 8%, less than 7%, less than 6%, less than 5%, less than 4%, less than 3%, less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, less than 0.1%, less than 0.01%, less than 0.001%, or less than 0.0001% of an initial level, which may, for example, be a baseline level of activity.
[00125] A “proliferative disease” refers to a disease that occurs due to abnormal growth or extension by the multiplication of cells (Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of Biology, Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990). A proliferative disease may be associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent cells; 2) the pathological migration of cells from their normal location (e.g., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as the matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the pathological angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative diseases include cancers (z.e., “malignant neoplasms”), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
[00126] The term “angiogenesis” refers to the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the de novo formation of endothelial cells from mesoderm cell precursors. The first vessels in a developing embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which angiogenesis is responsible for most blood vessel growth during normal or abnormal development. Angiogenesis is a vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue. However, angiogenesis is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one, leading to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. Angiogenesis may be chemically stimulated by angiogenic proteins, such as growth factors (e.g., VEGF). “Pathological angiogenesis” refers to abnormal (e.g., excessive or insufficient) angiogenesis that amounts to and/or is associated with a disease.
[00127] The terms “neoplasm” and “tumor” are used herein interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be “benign” or “malignant,” depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A “benign neoplasm” is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain “benign” tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor’s neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as “pre-malignant neoplasms.” An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a “malignant neoplasm” is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term “metastasis,” “metastatic,” or “metastasize” refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a “secondary tumor” or “secondary cell mass” of the tissue type of the primary or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to be metastasized prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.
[00128] The term “cancer” refers to a class of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that proliferate uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissues. See e.g., Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, 25th ed.; Hensyl ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990. Exemplary cancers include, but are not limited to, acoustic neuroma; adenocarcinoma; adrenal gland cancer; anal cancer; angiosarcoma (e.g., lymphangiosarcoma, lymphangioendotheliosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma); appendix cancer; benign monoclonal gammopathy; biliary cancer (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma); bladder cancer; breast cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the breast, papillary carcinoma of the breast, mammary cancer, medullary carcinoma of the breast); brain cancer (e.g., meningioma, glioblastomas, glioma (e.g., astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma), medulloblastoma); bronchus cancer; carcinoid tumor; cervical cancer (e.g., cervical adenocarcinoma); choriocarcinoma; chordoma; craniopharyngioma; colorectal cancer (e.g., colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal adenocarcinoma); connective tissue cancer; epithelial carcinoma; ependymoma; endotheliosarcoma (e.g., Kaposi’s sarcoma, multiple idiopathic hemorrhagic sarcoma); endometrial cancer (e.g., uterine cancer, uterine sarcoma); esophageal cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, Barrett’s adenocarcinoma); Ewing’s sarcoma; ocular cancer (e.g., intraocular melanoma, retinoblastoma); familiar hypereosinophilia; gall bladder cancer; gastric cancer (e.g., stomach adenocarcinoma); gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); germ cell cancer; head and neck cancer (e.g., head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, oral cancer (e.g., oral squamous cell carcinoma), throat cancer (e.g., laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer)); hematopoietic cancers (e.g., leukemia such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (e.g., B-cell ALL, T-cell ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) (e.g., B-cell AML, T-cell AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) (e.g., B-cell CML, T-cell CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (e.g., B- cell CLL, T-cell CLL)); lymphoma such as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (e.g., B-cell HL, T-cell HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (e.g., B-cell NHL such as diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL) (e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (e.g., mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (i.e., Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B -lymphoblastic lymphoma and primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma; and T-cell NHL such as precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) (e.g., cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (e.g., mycosis fungoides, Sezary syndrome), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma, enteropathy type T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma); a mixture of one or more leukemia/lymphoma as described above; and multiple myeloma (MM)), heavy chain disease (e.g., alpha chain disease, gamma chain disease, mu chain disease); hemangioblastoma; hypopharynx cancer; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors; immunocytic amyloidosis; kidney cancer (e.g., nephroblastoma a.k.a.

Bulking agents provide a desirable structure for a lyophilized cake comprising pores that provide the means for vapor to escape from the product during lyophilization cycles, and facilitate dissolution on reconstitution. In some embodiments, the bulking agent is mannitol, lactose, sucrose, dextran, trehalose, povidone, dextran, glycine, isoleucine, methionine, or a cyclodextrin (e.g., (2- hydroxypropyl)-P-cyclodextrin).
[00203] The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial -retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.
[00204] In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. [00205] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the conjugates described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.
[00206] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants such as glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, (f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage form may include a buffering agent.
[00207] Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

EXAMPLES
[00246] In order that the present disclosure may be more fully understood, the following examples are set forth. The synthetic and biological examples described in this application are offered to illustrate the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods provided herein and are not to be construed in any way as limiting in their scope.
Introduction
[00247] The Hippo signaling pathway exerts a critical role in organ size control and tumorigenesis through the regulation of cell proliferation, cell survival, and cell migration.1'3 In addition, more evidence suggests that the Hippo pathway has a significant impact on patient prognosis and the regulation of chemotherapeutic drug resistance.4 The core Hippo pathway, which is a kinase cascade, has been well established in both Drosophila and mammals. Activation of the Hippo pathway phosphorylates and activates its core kinase cascade including MST1/2 and LATS1/2 kinases that phosphorylate the downstream transcription co-activators yes-associated protein (YAP) and its paralog transcriptional co- activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) leading to their cytoplasmic retention through 14-3- 3 protein interactions or ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation.5'7 Inactivation of the Hippo kinase core leads to YAP/TAZ dephosphorylation and translocation into the nucleus, where they interact predominantly with TEA/TEF domain transcription factors (TEAD1-4).8, 9 This consequently initiates the transcription and translation of downstream genes involved in cell proliferation and survival, such as connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and cysteine-rich angiogenic inducer 61 (CYR61).10-13 The deregulation of the Hippo pathway has been reported at a high frequency in a broad range of different human carcinomas, including liver, colorectal, lung, ovarian, and prostate cancers and it often correlates with poor patient prognosis.14-18 Therefore, targeting the YAP/TEAD complex activity, which is essential in regulating the transcriptional outcome of Hippo pathway, has great potential for the treatment of cancers and diseases with altered Hippo signaling.19
[00248] Liver cancer is a global concern due to the elevated prevalence of risk of factors such as obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant cancers, and is the most common malignant liver cancer, with increasing incidence and mortality in recent years in the United States.20 Disease progression in patients involves severe liver inflammation and fibrosis that are correlated with deregulation of various signaling pathways and genetic aberrations.21, 22 Patients with advanced HCC have very poor prognoses.23 HCC remains a deadly disease with unmet medical needs. Only 12% have a 1-year survival with current treatments, highlighting the urgent need to develop new and more effective therapeutic approaches for HCC.28 The United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA, Silver Spring, USA) approved systemic therapies include, atezolizumab-bevacizumab combination, sorafenib, and lenvatinib in the first line setting.24-26 These current treatment options, however, are far from being satisfactory due to rapid emergence of drug resistance and unwanted off-target toxicities.27 Drug resistance to sorafenib involves pathways such as the altered Hippo pathway. Sorafenib enhances yes-associated protein (YAP) nuclear accumulation and activation, thereby promoting sorafenib resistance through inhibiting apoptosis in HCC cells.29-31 The above data thus suggest that YAP is a relevant target for the treatment of advanced HCC.
[00249] Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare malignant tumor of the liver in pediatric populations. It is found in 90% of cases before 3 years of age.67 YAP1S127A withdrawal significantly regresses hepatoblastoma, implicating YAP1 as a therapeutic target for HB.68 Novel T-cell therapy ET140203 (ARTEMIS) has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA for the treatment of pediatric HB.69 No small-molecule drug is available for HB. Preoperative or postoperative chemotherapy is still the major way for the treatment. So, HB remains a deadly disease with unmet medical needs.
[00250] YAP is partially disordered with no known catalytic activity, rendering it an intractable drug target.32 However, the TEAD proteins (e.g., TEAD1, TEAD2, TEAD3, and TEAD4) are proposed to be a therapeutic target for the intervention of the Hippo pathway.33 Since the release of crystal structures of TEADs, efforts have been put into targeting the YAP-TEAD complex.34'36 In general, there are three strategies targeting TEAD/YAP complex, including targeting YAP, focusing on the YAP binding interface of TEAD, and inhibiting TEAD palmitoylation.
[00251] Functionally, the most attractive therapeutic targets in the Hippo pathway are the oncoproteins YAP and TAZ as the final common conduits of the Hippo pathway. However, YAP is a disordered protein, making drug discovery more challenging. Verteporfin (VP), which is FDA approved, was first discovered as a YAP-TEAD inhibitor in a luciferase reporter assay screening by Liu-Chittenden et al. in 2012.37 An appreciable VP fluorescence coeluted with the YAP protein peak but not with the TEAD2 protein peak, demonstrating that VP selectively binds YAP.37 However, recent work indicates that verteporfin may work through other mechanisms, including inhibition of p62.38 Through a similar luciferase reporter assay screening, T. Saunders et al. identified compound NSC682769, which appears to directly bind to YAP and inhibit its association with all four TEAD family members (FIG. 15).39 Moreover, NSC682769 attenuates YAP expression by binding to YAP and resulting in targeted degradation of the protein.
[00252] The second strategy involves direct inhibition of the YAP-TEAD complex formation at either YAP interface 3 (Q-loop) or YAP interface 2 (a-helix) binding interface because of the importance of molecular interactions between YAP and TEAD at these areas.40'42 This protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibition might pose a challenge due to the large interaction areas involved, but inhibition has been accomplished by inhibitory peptides and small molecules. In 2014, Zhang et al. developed the potent cyclic peptide inhibitor Peptide 17 (FIG. 15) by applying conformational constraints to a mutated Q-loop region (YAP84-100, D94A) via a disulfide bridge (FIG. 15).43 However, peptide molecules are usually not orally bioavailable and need to be delivered via injection, rendering them less desirable from a drug standpoint.44 Besides peptide inhibitors, small molecules are also believed to be functional in YAP-TEAD disruption and are therapeutically promising. Only a few small molecules are reported to disrupt YAP-TEAD binding by binding to the TEAD surface. CPD 3.1 was identified from a docking screening that virtually screened 8 million compounds to identify those that occupy the TEAD interface 3 pocket.45 CPD3.1 has been shown to disrupt YAP/TEAD interaction in co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assays and inhibits TEAD reporter activity. However, there is no direct proof of TEAD binding via structural studies.
Interestingly, Compound 6 and BY03, which inhibit YAP/TEAD by targeting interface 2, were reported by two groups nearly simultaneously, however both showed weak activities in vitro (FIG. 15).46, 47 While the binding site of Compound 6 was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure (PDB code 6S6J), there are only docking studies to suggest the binding mode for BY03. Novartis reported the first class of small molecules that potently disrupt YAP/TEAD interaction by directly occupy interface 3, with the binding mode demonstrated by X-ray crystal structure (FIG. 15).48 Exploiting crystal structure information, they identified the first representatives of a class of YAP/TEAD protein-protein interaction inhibitors, an unprecedented discovery. Importantly, some of the compounds reached a single digit nanomolar inhibition of YAP/TEAD-dependent reporter gene expression in the NCI-H2052 cells.
[00253] The third strategy focuses on the TEAD lipid binding pocket. Recent studies discovered that human TEADs require auto-lipidation (palmitoylation or myristoylation) at conserved cysteine residues (for example, C380 on TEAD2) under physiological conditions to become functional.49, 50 This post-translational modification on TEADs increases stability and activity of TEAD transcription factors by regulating their interaction with YAP/TAZ.
This deep and hydrophobic TEAD lipid binding pocket may be accessed by small molecules (a “druggable pocket”). Therefore, the inhibition of TEAD palmitoylation is proposed as a further alternative strategy to inhibit YAP/TEAD activity. So far, several reversible and irreversible TEAD palmitoylation modulators that bind to the lipid-binding pocket have been explored and reported. TED-642, 1-30 and DC-TEADinO2 are covalent autopalmitoylation inhibitors and TEAD stabilizers that downregulate TEAD transcriptional activity (FIG. 15).36, 5i, 52 However, MGH-CP1, VT103 and MSC-4106 inhibit TEAD autopalmitoylation through a reversible mechanism (FIG. 15).53-55 Notably, certain research activities have already been successful and provided three clinical development compounds, but the chemical structures of these are not yet known (VT-3989: NCT04665206, IAG-933: NCT04857372, and IK-930: NCT05228015).36 A proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) strategy was also used, aiming to degrade TEAD.70,71 For example, based on their reported YAP/TEAD protein-protein interaction inhibitors, Novartis developed several potent TEAD PROTACs with single digit nanomolar DC50 values very recently.71 The crystal structure of the YAP/TEAD 1 complex shows interface 1, interface 2, and interface 3 (FIG. 16). The compounds discussed earlier are categorized based on their interactions with specific binding sites.
[00254] Provided herein are results of a high-throughput docking campaign that led to the identification of a moderate TEADs inhibitor C-3. Structure-based design and Structure- Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis revealed new covalent compounds, including compound 22, with greatly increased potency. Compound 22 exhibited potent inhibition of YAP/TEAD-based transcription, leading to downregulated CTGF and CYR61 expression, as well as suppression of proliferation in human HCC and HB cell lines in cell culture. Additionally, compound 22 successfully stopped the growth of human Huh7 tumors in subcutaneously xenografted mice. The effects were accompanied by lower toxicity to normal liver cells. Furthermore, its efficacy extended to effectively impeding murine HB development in vivo. This study demonstrates that inhibition of YAP/TEAD transcription by compounds provided herein has a therapeutic potential for the treatment of HCC and HB.
Results and Discussion
[00255] Docking-based virtual screening and Hit Validation.
[00256] In the present study, a docking-based virtual screening strategy was used to identify promising hits targeting the TEAD2 lipid binding pocket (FIG. 1A). Higher mRNA expression of TEAD2 serves as a prognostic indicator for poor outcomes in HCC patients. The lipid-binding pocket of TEAD2 was selected for docking experiments in pursuit of liver cancer therapies. A combination of 200,000 commercially available compounds from the Specs database and 900 in-house compounds were utilized for virtual screening. Standard Precision mode in Glide panel was used for docking.72'74 Compounds were filtered by the Lipinski rule and ADMET predictions.75 The compounds that showed lower predicted toxicity and better pharmacokinetic profiles were preferred. The remaining 100 compounds were rescored with an in-house DeepAtom protein-ligand binding deep-learning model.56 Visual inspection of the binding modes focused on the hydrophobic pocket and the opening of the pocket, where a conserved cysteine residue is located, and ten candidates were chosen for biological validation (FIG. 24A).57 A TEAD-specific luciferase reporter assay was used to examine the transcription inhibition activities of those ten compounds (FIG. 24B).37 Compound C-3, which displayed a good binding mode within the TEAD2 lipid binding pocket, showed moderate inhibition activity in the luciferase reporter assay with an IC50 value of 5.0 pM (FIGs. 1B-1C). [00257] Design and SAR Analysis of Covalent Inhibitors.
[00258] Despite the initial skepticism of pharmaceutical industry to develop covalent inhibitors, in the last 50 years, the development of covalent inhibitors has generated considerable interest.58, 59 Numerous drug candidates are progressing through clinical trials or have been approved by the FDA.60 Notable examples include BNP7787 and afatinib.60 [00259] To further develop more potent small molecular TEAD inhibitors, covalent inhibitors were rationally designed, which depend on the nucleophilic cysteine adjacent to the binding pocket, which is 5.47 A away from the indole 3 position carbon of C-3 (FIG. 2). A series of compounds featuring a chloromethyl ketone moiety were synthesized (Schemes 1- 4). The inhibitory rate of this series of compounds was tested using 8xGTIIC-lucif erase reporter assay at 10 pM. The mRNA expression of TEAD2 and VGLL4 was significantly higher in HCC compared with the normal control samples, and the mRNA expression of TEAD2 was higher in advanced stages than in early stages.30, 61 The compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity and using in vitro cell proliferation assay against liver cancer cell line Huh7 (Table 2).

a Cells were treated with compounds for 3 days, and cell growth was determined by a CCK8 assay; values reported are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments bThe inhibitory rate means the inhibitory percentage of AML12 cell growth when treated with 10 pM compounds for 3 days.
[00260] Notably, compound 1, with the addition of the covalent moiety, showed significant improvement in TEAD inhibition activity and on Huh7 cell growth inhibition activity compared to C-3. Considering the hydrophobicity of the pocket, the phenyl group was replaced with more hydrophobic naphthalene moiety to provide compound 2, which showed better cellular inhibitory activity than compound 1. Based on compound 2, further optimization was conducted, both with regard to substitution on the indole 6 position (R1) and with regard to the ether moieties (R2). First, for R1, the chlorine was changed to a methoxy group or a hydrogen. As methoxy is a little bit larger than chlorine, it may allow for increased interaction within the hydrophobic binding pocket. Introduction of methoxy decreased the CLogP of the compound, improving compound solubility. R1 was changed to hydrogen to assess the impact of substituents at this position. Second, for R2, substitution of the naphythyl group was changed to the 1 position and the 2 position to explore the SAR and geometry of this arene.
[00261] From the results of the luciferase reporter assay and cell proliferation assay, a preliminary SAR was determined (Table 2). In terms of R1 substitution, Cl was more favorable than OCH3 and H. Introducing a methoxy substitution resulted in a moderate loss of activity. However, changing R1 to hydrogen decreased the cellular activity by more than five-fold. The hydrophobic R2 substituents were shown to play an important role. The compounds bearing a naphthalene moiety showed better Huh7 cell growth inhibition activity than phenyl compounds. The substitution position of naphthalene was tolerated as it had a minimal impact on activity. As a comparator, the normal liver cell line AML 12 was used to test the toxicity of those compounds to healthy cells, and all compounds inhibited AML12 cell growth at 10 pM. compound 2 was the least toxic of the covalent compounds, as compound 2 demonstrated a 32% inhibitory rate of AML cells at 10 pM.
[00262] Next, the inhibition of TEAD transcription activity of compounds was tested varying the dosage using the 8xGTIIC-luciferase reporter assay. Compounds 2 and 5 both showed potent inhibition activity (FIGs. 3A-3B). 2 has the IC50 value of 870 nM (FIG. 3C). As 5 showed high toxicity towards normal liver cell line AME12, 2 was selected for further investigation. The aim was to determine whether its inhibition of TEAD transcription can lead to downregulation of the YAP-TEAD target genes. CTGF is one of the best characterized (bona fide) target gene of YAP and TAZ. CTGF contributes to HCC cell dedifferentiation, expression of inflammation-related genes involved in carcinogenesis, and in vivo HCC cell growth.63 The results showed that the expression levels for CTGF mRNA were significantly decreased by 2 in a dose-dependent manner in the Huh7 HCC cell line (FIG. 3D). The corresponding CTGF protein expression levels were examined by western blotting analysis, and a similar dose-dependent decrease in CTGF protein expression was observed (FIGs. 3E-3F).
[00263] The initial SAR of these eight compounds demonstrated that the indole core provided a new class of potent TEAD inhibitors not previously reported in the literature. With this new scaffold in hand, efforts focused on designing more potent compounds with reduced toxicity. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the toxicity of the first eight compounds may result from the high reactivity of the covalent warhead. So, the more reactive chloromethyl ketone was changed to lower reactive covalent warheads such as acrylamide, a-chloroacetamide and a-cyanoacrylamide.64 The acrylamide and a- chloroacetamide are less reactive than the a-chloroketone due to an extended electron cloud over the conjugated alkenyl and carbonyl moieties and are commonly used covalent warheads.64 The concerns of irreversibility, non-specific hyperreactivity, and idiosyncratic toxicities (IDTs) have lately catalyzed the development of long-lived reversible covalent inhibitors.65 Therefore, the cyanoacrylamide warhead was used, as it may impart long-lived reversible covalent interaction.
[00264] In addition, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the CEogP of 2 may be too high, around 5. A CEogP of 4 or below is considered as a cutoff for drug-like properties.76 And also, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the naphthalene may be too flat and hydrophobic, which may increase the possibility of off-target toxicity. These factors could be addressed by lowering the lipophilicity and/or reducing the number of aromatics.66 Naphthalene was changed to cyclohexane, 4,4-difluorocyclohexyl, 2-quinolinyl, m-trifluoromethylphenyl, p-trifluoromethylphenyl, and m-fluoro-p-trifluoromethylphenyl groups. The inventors hypothesized that sp3 carbons of the cyclohexyl groups may improve solubility and provide improved specificity. A more polar group, such as quinoline, was also used to improve solubility and further decrease the CLogP of the compound. The various trifluomethylphenyl groups, used in some reported TEAD inhibitors,54, 55 were also explored in the scaffold.
[00265] As the series of compounds had limited solubility, compound 25 was synthesized to improve the solubility by installation of soluble groups on the covalent warhead. 8xGTIIC- luciferase reporter assay and Huh7 cell proliferation assay of those compounds were conducted. The most commonly used acrylamide warhead reduced the cell growth inhibition activities., The a-chloroacetamide derivatives, however, displayed slightly improved cellular activities compared to the chloroketone derivatives. Among them, compound 14 showed the most potent Huh7 cell growth inhibition activity with an IC50 of 0.8 pM, but significant cytotoxicity for AML12 was also observed. However, most of the a-cyanoacrylamide derivates showed high toxicities or low Huh7 cell growth inhibition. Installation of soluble groups on the covalent warhead resulted in decreased cellular activity. In terms of the hydrophobic R2 portion, 4,4-difluorocyclohexane and quinoline both reduced in vitro activities. However, 3-trifluomethylphenyl showed improved activity compared to phenyl and naphthalene. The position of the substituent impacted activity; for example, the 3-CF3 derivative compound 22 was 16-fold more active than the para-analogue compound 23.
Compound 22 obtained by replacing the phenyl group of compound 1 with the 3- trifluomethylphenyl showed potent growth inhibition of Huh7 cells with an IC50 value of 0.9 pM. Moreover, compound 22 was least toxic to AML 12 cells at 10 pM compared to all other synthesized covalent compounds.
[00266] In addition, the substitution position of CF3 was changed, and a F group was introduced at the meta position to get compounds 23 and 24, respectively. Table 3. Cellular Activities of Compounds 9-24.

[00267] Cellular Activity of Compounds 22 and 12.
[00268] Through the SAR exploration at the R1, R2, R3 parts of the indole core, a class of highly potent inhibitors in a Huh7 cell proliferation assay was identified, as exemplified by compounds 12 and 22. To further investigate the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of compounds in Huh7 cells, TEADs specific luciferase reporter assays were performed with compounds 22 and 12 at several concentrations. As expected based on the results of the cell proliferation assay, the treatment of cells transfected with the 8xGTIIC luciferase reporter with both compounds led to the significant reduction in TEAD reporter activity in a dose dependent manner with IC50 value of 2.1 pM and 629 nM, respectively (FIGs. 4A-4B). TEAD downstream gene expression patterns were evaluated in liver cancer cells Huh7, which has been evidenced with relative high expression of YAP and TEAD2. Consistent with the observed inhibition of TEAD transcriptional activity, the treatment with both compounds suppressed downstream gene CTGF expression and suppression of CTGF protein production in a dose-dependent manner (FIGs. 4F-4G).
[00269] Compound 22 Inhibited Proliferation of Multiple Cancer Cell Lines
[00270] The effect of compound 22 on the best characterized TEAD target genes CTGF and CYR61 were assessed by RT-qPCR. The results showed that the mRNA expression levels for CTGF and CYR61 were significantly inhibited by compound 22 in a dose-dependent manner in the human HCC line Huh7 and the human HB cell line HepG2 respectively (FIG. 4E). In addition, compound 22 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on the growth of HepG2 cells, with an IC50 value of 2.4 pM. This effect was comparatively less pronounced than in the Huh7 cell line, as illustrated in FIG. 25A.
[00271] The inhibitory effects of compound 22 were assessed against YAP TEAD related NF2-deficient mesothelioma cell NCI-H226 and triple negative breast cancer cell Hs578T. The growth inhibition ratio was measured using a CCK-8 assay after 3 days of treatments. Results revealed that compound 22 showed antiproliferative activity against both NCI-H226 and Hs578T cancer cell lines with IC50 value of 0.4 pM and 2.6 pM, respectively (FIGs. 5, 25B).
[00272] Covalent modification of TEAD2-YBD by Compound 22
[00273] To substantiate the covalent interaction between Compound 22 and TEAD2-YBD, intact mass spectrometry was employed to monitor the protein’s mass change upon binding with the compound. Incubation of TEAD2-YBD protein with an excess of compound 22 resulted in an intact mass shift of +365.5581 Da consistent with the formation of a covalent compound 22:TEAD2-YBD complex, attributed to a direct SN2 reaction (FIG. 17A). After 15 hours at room temperature, TEAD2-YBD was completely labeled with a single molecule of compound 22; no evidence of multiple labeling events was detected. Furthermore, the specific interaction with Cys380 was confirmed by the absence of a mass shift when the compound was incubated with the TEAD2-YBD C3 80S variant for 15 hours, highlighting the targeted modification of TEAD2-YBD by compound 22 at Cys380 (FIG. 17B).
[00274] Compound 22 disrupts YAP-TEAD protein-protein interaction
[00275] To assess if compound 22 inhibits the interaction between YAP/TAZ and TEAD proteins within the cell, compound 22 was administered to NF2-deficient NCI-H226 cells for 24 hours. Subsequently, the endogenous TEAD protein was isolated through immunoprecipitation using a pan-TEAD antibody and examined the immunocomplexes for the presence of YAP/TAZ proteins using anti-YAP/TAZ antibodies (as depicted in FIG. 18). Treating NCI-H226 cells with 1 pM of compound 22 significantly diminished the coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of YAP, albeit not affecting TAZ, with the pan-TEAD antibody. When the concentration was increased to 2.5 pM, the interaction between YAP and TEAD in the NF2-deficient NCI-H226 cells was almost entirely inhibited after a 24-hour treatment period. These results demonstrate that compound 22 effectively and selectively disrupted the binding between YAP and TEAD proteins without impacting the association between TAZ and TEAD. [00276] Compound 22 inhibits Huh7 and HepG2 cell colony formation
[00277] The ability of compound 22 to inhibit the proliferation of liver cancer cell lines Huh7 and HepG2 was further assessed using a clonogenic assay. The clonogenic assay is an in vitro cell survival assay based on the ability of a single cell to grow into a colony.77 FIGs. 17A- 17B illustrates the ability of compound 22 to inhibit the formation of Huh7 (FIGs. 19A-19B and HepG2 (FIGs. 19C-19D) cell colonies after adding treatment for 48 h, followed by a 10- day incubation with fresh media. Treatment with 5 pM compound 22 led to noteworthy suppression of cell proliferation, with a rate of inhibition amounting to 62.5% for Huh7 cells and 59.5% for HepG2 cells.
[00278] 22 induces cell cycle arrest in Huh7 and HepG2 cancer cells
[00279] To study the potential mechanistic pathways responsible for cell proliferation inhibition by compound 22, the change of cell cycle in Huh7 and HepG2 liver cancer cell lines was evaluated. DNA-based cell cycle analysis was performed using flow cytometry. The results, as depicted in FIG. 20, indicate that treatment with compound 22 (at doses of 5 and 10 pM for 48 hours) notably increased the proportion of cells in the G1 phase for Huh7 cells, while the proportions of cells in the S/G2 phases experienced a distinct decrease. Specifically, the percentage of cells in the G1 phase after compound 22 treatment was significantly elevated (reaching 58.2%) in comparison to the control group (which had 36.4% in the G1 phase). To explore whether compound 22 also induces G1 phase arrest in HepG2 cells similar to its effects on Huh7 cells, parallel investigations were performed. As illustrated in FIG. 20 compound 22 caused the accumulation of HepG2 cells in the G1 phase at concentrations of 5 and 10 pM. However, the impact of 22 on inducing G1 phase arrest was less pronounced in HepG2 cells compared to Huh7 cells.
[00280] Compound 22 induces cell apoptosis in Huh7 and HepG2 cancer cells
[00281] In order to gain deeper insights into the underlying anticancer mechanism of compound 22, experiments were performed to validate whether the induction of G1 phase cells by compound 22 was linked to apoptosis. To achieve this, the cells treated with compound 22 were subjected to PI and FITC-annexin V staining to detect apoptotic cells. As depicted in FIG. 21, cells treated by compound 22 displayed obvious cell apoptosis in Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The proportions of total apoptosis including the early stage apoptosis and the later stage of apoptosis were 66.8%, and 83.5%, respectively, at concentrations of 5 and 10 pM. This trend was similarly observed in the case of HepG2 cells. The maximum apoptotic rate (early + late apoptotic) at the concentration of 10 pM was achieved at 69.0%. The impact of compound 22 on inducing cell apoptosis was less pronounced in HepG2 cells compared to Huh7 cells, aligning with the outcomes of the cell cycle analysis, providing further coherence to the observed effects of compound 22 on these cell lines.
[00282] In vivo Antitumor Evaluation of Compound 22 in the Huh7 Mouse Xenograft Model Shows Compound 22 Represses Tumor Growth
[00283] Based on the favorable in vitro potency and low toxicity, the in vivo antitumor efficacy of compound 22 was further evaluated in the NSG mouse (NOD scid gamma mouse) xenograft model from human Huh7 cells. Sorafenib, the first- line treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, served as the control. Compound 22 was tested as a monotherapy and in combination with Sorafenib.
[00284] The animals were administered 10 mg/kg of compound 22 twice a week for four weeks via intraperitoneal (IP) injection. Compound compound 22 showed potent antitumor efficacy with a tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rate of 78% (FIGs. 6A-6B).
[00285] The mice were administered 50 mg/kg of compound 22 every three day for 24 days via intraperitoneal (IP) injection. Sorafenib was administered orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg following the same schedule.
[00286] As demonstrated in FIGs. 22A-22B, compound 22 showed potent antitumor efficacy with a tumor growth inhibition (TGI) rate of 75%, similar to that of Sorafenib, which had a TGI of 76%. Importantly, the combination therapy of compound 22 and Sorafenib resulted in a more substantial tumor growth inhibition, with a TGI rate of 93%. No significant change of the body weight was observed (FIG. 6C), indicating that there was no apparent toxicity upon the treatment of compound 22 in the xenograft model.
[00287] To elucidate the mechanism of compound 22-mediated antitumor activity in vivo, the expression level of CTGF and CYR61 in the tumor tissue were examined by western blotting. A remarkable decrease of CTGF and CYR61 was observed in the compound 22-treated groups than that in the vehicle groups (FIG. 6D). Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, these results revealed that compound 22 may suppress Huh7 xenograft tumor growth in vivo by inhibiting the TEAD transcription.
[00288] In vivo Antitumor Evaluation of Compound 22 in Mouse Models
[00289] Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common type of childhood liver cancer and usually affects children younger than 3 years of age. This type of primary liver neoplasm often contains activation of both Wnt/p-catenin and YAP signaling in about 80% of the HB cases. The transcriptional coactivator YAP has been shown to cooperate with P-catenin to promote HB. Co-expression of constitutively active S127A-YAP1 and AN90 deletion-mutant P-catenin (YAPl-AN90-P-catenin) via Sleeping Beauty-mediated somatic integration causes HB in mouse livers (PMID:30794807).78
[00290] Using this model, the inhibitory effect of YAP inhibitor compound 22 on HB development was examined. In brief, following HDTV injection, the co-expression of constitutively active S127A-YAP1 and AN90 deletion-mutant P-catenin (AN90-P-catenin) via Sleeping Beauty-mediated somatic integration led to HB development in mouse livers. Plasmids carrying T3EFla-YAPS127A (20 pg), pCMV-sleeping beauty transposase (SB, 0.8 pg), and pT3-EFla-AN90-P-catenin (20 pg) were extracted using the Endotoxin-Free Maxiprep kit (Qiagen), diluted in 2 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and injected via hydrodynamic tail vein injection (HDTV) into C57BL6 mice (6 week-old, body weight of 20 g). compound 22 or mock control (twice a week for three months, IP injection) were applied two weeks post the HDTV injection until two days before sacrifice. Low dose group received 50 mg/g body weight and high dose group received 125 mg/g body weight.
[00291] There were about 18 HB tumors per mouse on the average at three months post the co-expression of S127A-YAP1 and AN90-P-catenin (FIG. 23A). However, upon administering compound 22 (25 mg/kg body weight, twice a week for 9 weeks), there was a notable reduction in both the occurrence and size of HB tumors. IHC for the cell proliferation marker Cyclin DI also showed decreased number of proliferating cells in presence of compound 22 treatment (FIG. 23B). Real time qRT-PCR analyses indicated lower levels of Ccndl, CTGF, Cyr61, Afp, and Gpc3 mRNAs (FIG. 23C). Western blotting confirmed decreased CTGF and Cyr61 in the compound 22-treated livers (FIG. 23D). Taken together, these data indicated that compound 22 inhibited HB tumor growth.
Conclusions
[00292] Based on a combination of structure-based design following a virtual screen and biological evaluation, C-3 was identified as a moderate TEAD transcriptional inhibitor. Further rational chemical optimization led to the identification of compound 22 as a potent covalent TEAD inhibitor bearing a previously unexplored chemotype with the Huh7 cell proliferation IC50 value of 0.9 pM. Also, compound 22 inhibited TEADs transcription activity leading to downregulation of gene expression downstream of YAP signaling. Compound 22 demonstrated the ability to dose-dependently hinder colony formation, provoke apoptosis, and induce cell cycle arrest in both Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Compound 22 (TGI = 78%) inhibited tumor growth significantly in the Huh7 mouse xenograft model, which was accompanied by CTGF and CYR61 downregulation in the tumor tissue. Compound 22 also displayed potent inhibition of hepatoblastoma development in mice induced by hydrodynamic injection of activated forms of oncogenic YAP and P-catenin proteins. All the above results manifest that compounds provided herein, including compound 22, are strong TEAD inhibitors with activity against hepatocellular carcinoma and HB.

Chemical Reagents and. General Method.
[00302] All commercially available starting materials and solvents were reagent grade and used without further purification. Purification by silica gel column chromatography was carried out using a Biotage Isolera One purification systems with prepacked cartridges. Analytical thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel plates and visualized under ultraviolet light (254 nm) for monitoring reactions. !H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Avance NEO-600 spectrometer or Bruker Avance III HD 600 ( 1 H NMR: 600 MHz for proton (*H NMR); and 13C NMR: 151 MHz) using DMSO-d6, CD3OD, or CDCh as solvents. Chemical shifts (5 values) are expressed in ppm using tetramethyl silane as an internal standard (TMS 1 H NMR: 0.00 ppm, 13C NMR: 0.00 ppm), and the coupling constants (J values) are indicated in hertz (Hz). Low-resolution mass spectra for certain known compounds were obtained from the University of Florida Department of Medicinal Chemistry 3200 QTrap LC/MS/MS spectrometer via direct injection, and high- resolution mass spectra were obtained from the Mass Spectrometry Facility within the University of Florida Department of Medicinal Chemistry Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Focus mass spectrometer with Dionex™ Ultimate™ 3000 UHPLC system. The purity of all target compounds was determined to be greater than 95%, ascertained using high- performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This analysis was conducted on an Agilent 1100 Series HPLC instrument equipped with an Acclaim 120 C18 column (2.1 mm x 100 mm, 5 pm). For the HPLC, H2O containing 0.1% formic acid (FA) was used as solvent A, and MeOH was used as solvent B. The flow rate was set at 0.3 mL/min. Detection was carried out at a UV wavelength of 254 nm. The gradient elution program proceeded as follows: from 20% to 100% B over 7 minutes, held at 100% B for 8 minutes, from 100% B to 20% B in 0.1 minute, and then held at 10% B for 3.9 minutes.

Molecular Modeling.
[00390] Commercially available 200000 compounds from the Specs database were downloaded from the website as .mol2 files. A collection of 900 in-house compounds was saved using .sdf file format. All possible tautomers, stereoisomers, and ionization states of each compound were generated at a pH range of 7.0 ± 2.0 using the Schrodinger Suite 2021 Ligand Preparation tool (Schrodinger, LLC, New York, NY, 2022).72 The crystal structure of TEAD2 complexed with YAP peptide was retrieved from the Protein Data Bank (PDB id: 5EMV).49 All water molecules were removed. The clean protein procedure was then conducted using the Protein Preparation Wizard module in Schrodinger. Briefly, hydrogen atoms were added to the complex. The module used ProtAssign to optimize hydroxyl, His, Asn, and Gin protonation states automatically. Linally, the complex was submitted to a restrained minimization using the OPLS2005 force field to relieve steric clashes. The bounding box of size 12 A x12 A x 12 A for molecular docking was centered on the residue Cys380 in the central pocket. Alternatively, a bounding box of size 24 A x 24 A x 24 A for molecular docking was centered on the central pocket. Default parameter settings generated by the program Glide for Standard Precision (SP) docking were used.
Protein expression and purification.
[00391] Human TEAD2-YBD (217-447) (TEAD2_HUMAN, UniProtKB Q15562) was expressed and purified as previously described.79 To eliminate endogenous palmitoylation, Cys380Ser mutant (TEAD2-C3 80S) was generated and purified using the same protocol. [00392] hTEAD2 was expressed, purified, and deacylated as reported.52 Briefly, the yap- binding domain (YBD) of human TEAD4 (217-434) was cloned in pET28a vector with the N terminal 6x His tag. The recombinant protein was induced at 16 °C using 0.2 mM isopropyl bD-1 -thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) for 10 h for overexpression in Escherichia coli strain BL2 (DE3) CodonPlus competent cells (Invitrogen). Then cells were harvested, followed by lysis and the supernatant was loaded onto the HisTrap LL column (GE Healthcare). The hTEAD4-YBD was eluted with elution buffer (50 mM Hepes 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 10% Glycerol, 1 mM TCEP, 125 mM imidazole). To eliminate the endogenous fatty acid, the protein was incubated with 0.2 mM hydroxylamine for 2 h and further purified through gel filtration chromatography in the final buffer (25 mM Hepes pH 8.0, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM TCEP, and 5% glycerol). Collected fractions were concentrated to 5 mg/mL and flash frozen for further use. To prepare fully palmitoylated TEAD4 (Pal-TEAD4), wild-type TEAD4 was incubated with 2 eq. of palmitoyl coenzyme A lithium salt (Sigma- Aldrich #P9716) for 1 h at room temperature followed by an additional gel filtration step.
Intact protein mass measurement.
[00393] The intact mass spectrometry analysis involved a preparatory step where 22 at a concentration of 50 pM was incubated with wild type TEAD2-YBD at 2.5 p M in tris buffer for 20 hours at room temperature, with subsequent sample preparation by adding 5 pL of formic acid to 20 pL of the analyte. This analysis was performed using an Agilent 6220 Time-of-Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer equipped with an electro spray ionization (ESI) source set to positive mode. The instrumental conditions were optimized to a gas temperature of 350°C, a drying gas flow of 8.0 L/min using N2, and a nebulizer pressure of 30 psig. Chromatographic separation was achieved utilizing an Agilent 1100 series system, which included a G13793 degasser, a G1312B binary pump, and a G1367C auto sampler, with a set injection volume of 1 pL. The mobile phase comprised a 50/50 mixture of water and acetonitrile, both containing 0.1% formic acid, delivered at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. The LC/MS raw data was processed using BioConfirm (Version B.09.00, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to generate intact protein masses with maximum entropy, range 10 - 50 kDa, +H isotope.
Co-immunoprecipitation.
[00394] 500 pg protein lysate extracted using lysis buffer were incubated with 5 pL pan- TEAD antibody (CST #13295, 33 pg/ml) at 4°C overnight with rotation, and then incubated with 15 pL Protein G magnetic beads (Fisher #88847) at R.T. for 1 hour with rotation. After binding, beads were washed three times with lysis buffer and one time with ddH2O. IP samples were eluted using IX gel loading buffer supplied with 20 mM DTT and boiled at 96°C for 10 min. 50 pg protein lysate were used for input, and 3% IP flow-thru were used for binding efficiency control. *0 indicated DMSO control. For the detection process, primary antibodies used were: YAP/TAZ rabbit monoclonal antibody (mAb) at a dilution of 1:2000, CST #8418S; Pan-TEAD rabbit mAb at 1:2000, CST #13295S; and P-actin mouse mAb at 1:8000, Sigma #A5316. Secondary antibodies applied in IX TBST were: Rabbit IgG-HRP at 1:10000 and Mouse IgG-HRP also at 1:10000. Cell lines.
[00395] HEK 293T (CRL-3216), Huh7 (CVCL_0336), HepG2 (HB-8065), and AML12 (CRL-2254) cell lines were bought from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). All cells were grown at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in media as recommended by the supplier.
Luciferase Reporter Assay.
[00396] HEK 293T cells were plated at 2xl04 cells/well in a 96 well microplate and were transfected with 50 ng of 8xGTIIC-lucif erase plasmid (Addgene #34615) and 0.5 ng of pRL- CMV (Promega #E226A) by using lipofectamine 3000 (Life Technologies #L3000). The 8xGTIIc-luciferase reporter is a Yap/Taz- activity reporter containing eight TEAD consensus binding sequences. After 6 h, transfected cells were treated with various concentrations of compounds or DMSO control. Luciferase signals were measured using the Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega, E1960) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated at least three times.
RNA Extraction and RT-qPCR.
[00397] Huh7 and HepG2 liver cancer cells were seeded at 1 x 106 cells/dish and allowed to adhere overnight. The cells were then treated with indicated doses of compounds in medium for 24 hours. The cells were then harvested, and total RNA was purified using the Aurum total RNA mini kit (Bio-Rad #732-6820) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Complementary DNA was synthesized from 500 ng total RNA template by iScript reverse transcription kit (Bio-Rad #1725037) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real-time PCR reactions utilized 60 ng cDNA and PrimePCR primers from Bio-Rad (Unique Assay ID: human GAPDH-qHsaCEP0041396, human CTGF-qHsaCEP0024255, human CYR61- qHsaCEP0024230) designed for SYBR Green gene expression analysis (Bio-Rad #1726270). All reactions were carried out in triplicate using Quant Studio 3 PCR system (Applied Biosystems). Relative gene expression level was quantified via AACt method by using GAPDH as an endogenous reference.
Western blot analysis.
[00398] Treated Huh7 cells were harvested and lysed in cold RIPA lysis buffer containing proteasome and phosphatase inhibitors. The protein concentrations were determined using the BCA Protein Assay kit. The prepared protein samples were loaded on and separated by 10% SDS-PAGE gel and then were transferred to PVDF membrane. Blots were blocked for 1 h at RT in blocking buffer and incubated with corresponding primary antibodies: anti-CTGF (ab227180), and anti-GAPDH (ab9485), at 4 °C overnight. Then the blots were incubated with HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody in blocking buffer for 1.5 h at RT. The membranes were imaged with ChemiDoc MP imaging system.
In vitro Antiproliferative Assay.
[00399] CCK8 assay kit was used to determine antiproliferative activity of synthesized compounds against Huh7 cell line. First, Huh7 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 3000 cells/well and incubated overnight. Cells were then co-incubated with compounds at 8 concentrations for 72 h. Then, the cell proliferation was determined by the CCK8 kit according to the standard protocol. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
Colony Formation Assay.
[00400] Huh7 or HepG2 (500 cells/well) were plated into 6 well plates (500 cells per well) and treated with 0 or 5 pM compound 22. Colonies were grown in the absence of soft agar for 2 weeks in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C. Crystal violet blue solution (Sigma) was used to stain the colonies for one hour and fixed in methanol followed by counting under a microscope. Triplicate wells were used for each cell line and three independent experiments were performed.
Immunohistochemical Assay.
[00401] Tissues harvested from mice were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde PBS solution for 24 hours, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned (6 pm). Standard staining protocols were performed for IHC using an ABC kit from Vector lab (Vector Laboratories, Inc., CA). The primary antibody was mouse anti-Ki67 antibody (catalogNCL-L-Ki67-MMl, 1:100 dilution) from Leica Biosystems (Deer Park, IL). Stained sections were detected using a microscope (Leica, Germany).
Flow Cytometry Analysis of Cell Apoptosis and Cell Cycle.
[00402] Apoptosis was detected using an Annexin V-EITC apoptosis detection kit (Thermo Eisher Scientific) following the manufacturer’ instructions. Briefly, about 50000 cells were suspended in 500 pl of binding buffer. The cells were incubated with 5 pl EITC-conjugated Annexin V for 15 minutes and incubated with 5 pl propidium Iodide staining solution for 15 minutes in darkness at room temperature. Cell apoptosis was then analyzed by flow cytometry using a EACSCalibur flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA).
[00403] Lor cell cycle analysis, cells were fixed with pre-cold 70% ethanol for 30 minutes. Then the cells were washed with PBS and stained with propidium iodide working solution for 30 minutes in the dark. The stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed using FlowJo_V10 software. For each experiment, 20000 events per sample were recorded. Percentages of cells in G0/G1, S and G2/M phases were calculated and shown in DNA histograms.
Animal Experimentation.
[00404] All animal protocols were approved by the Animal Care and Usage Committee at Tulane University and were conducted in compliance with their guidelines. In vivo xenograft study, immunodeficient NSG male mice (n=10, 6-week old) were purchased from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA) and were raised in an environment free of specific pathogens.
In vivo Xenograft Study.
[00405] Tumors were implanted by subcutaneous injection of 5xl0A6 Huh7 cells in 100 pL of PBS containing 10% matrix gel (Coming, NY, USA), into the right flank of the mouse. When the tumor volume reached about 85 mm3, mice were randomized into the vehicle control group (n = 5) and a treatment group (n = 5). The vehicle group (n = 5) received the vehicle only (50% phosal 50 PG, 45% miglyol 810 N and 5% polysorbate 80), while the treatment group (n = 5) was given compound 22 (50 mg/kg in 50% phosal 50 PG, 45% miglyol 810 N and 5% polysorbate 80) via IP injection every three days. After 24 days, mice were euthanized. Sorafenib (100 mg/kg, every three day) was dissolved in 75% Ethanol and Cremophor EL (1:1) and administered directly into the animals’ stomachs using a gastric probe. Tumor size and body weight were measured every 3 days, and tumor volume was estimated using the formula volume = 1/2 x length x width2. Tumor growth inhibition value (TGI) was calculated as TGI (%) = [1 - Vt/Vc] x 100, where Vc and Vt were tumor volumes before and after administration.
Drug Assessment in Murine HB Model.
[00406] For drug assessment in the murine HB model, plasmids carrying T3EFla- YAPS127A (20 pg), pCMV-sleeping beauty transposase (SB, 0.8 pg), and pT3-EFla-AN90- P-catenin (20 pg) from Addgene (Watertown, MA) were used. The plasmids were extracted using the Endotoxin-Free Maxiprep kit (Qiagen, Redwood City, CA), diluted in 2 ml 0.9% sodium chloride solution, and injected via hydrodynamic tail vein injection (HDTV) into C57BL6 mice (n=15, 6 week old). Three weeks post the HDTV injection, compound 22 (25 mg/g body weight) or mock control were applied twice a week for total 9 weeks via IP injection. Two days post last drug treatment, mice were euthanized and tumor tissues were subjected to molecular and histological characterizations. Statistical analysis.
[00407] Statistical analyses were conducted in Prism 9 software. Results are reported as mean ± SD. Student’s t-test was utilized to compare individual data with control values for the analysis of statistical significance. *, P < 0.05; **, P <0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, P > 0.05.
