Definitions
- the present invention provides a method of treatment and composition for CDC7 inhibitor combinational therapy for treatment of proliferative diseases.
- Background of the Invention Understanding how the genomes of eukaryotes are duplicated during each cell cycle is a fundamental problem of modern biology and is a critical aspect of the more general problem of understanding the mechanisms that control cellular proliferation. The transition from Gl into S phase is a major decision point for the cell and is subject to elaborate controls whose mechanisms are not yet understood at the molecular level. (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta (2002) Annu Rev Biochem 71: 333-74; Dutta, A. and S. P.
- pre- RC pre -replication complex
- pre-RCs are assembled at origins of DNA replication.
- pre-RCs are activated by the action of two heterodimeric protein kinases, Cdc7-Dbf4 and S phase cyclin-dependent kinase (S-CDK).
- S-CDK S phase cyclin-dependent kinase
- This mechanism constitutes a "replication switch” that ensures that origins of DNA replication fire only once each cell cycle, thus preserving genomic integrity.
- the activation of the pre-RC requires the activities of Cdc7-Dbf4 and S-CDK. Both kinases are activated at the Gl/S boundary when their respective regulatory subunits accumulate to sufficient levels, and both appear to associate with the pre- RC.
- Cdc7 activity is strictly regulated by the expression of the Dbf4 subunit, which is very tightly cell cycle regulated with peak expression occurring at the Gl/S boundary.
- the activity of Cdc7 has been shown to be required for entry into S phase of the cell cycle.
- Studies in yeast have shown that cells depleted of this kinase activity progress from Gl to M phase without an intervening S phase, resulting in cell death (Bell, S. P. and A.
- Dutta, et al.; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown, et al.), and conditional knockout mouse Embryonic stem (ES) cells for Dbf4 have recently been shown to undergo S phase arrest with resultant apoptosis when gene expression is silenced.
- ES mouse Embryonic stem
- Brown, et al. is a target of regulation by the Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase, and the Mcm2 protein is an excellent substrate for the Cdc7:Dbf4 kinase in vitro.
- Mcm2 protein is an excellent substrate for the Cdc7:Dbf4 kinase in vitro.
- the MCM proteins and Cdc7 have been shown to be overexpressed in the majority of cancers including both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. (Hess, G.F., Drong, R.F., et al. (1998) Gene 211 (1): 133-40; Velculescu, V.E., Madden, S.L., et al.

Description
CDC7 Inhibitor Combinational Therapy Field of the Invention The present invention provides a method of treatment and composition for CDC7 inhibitor combinational therapy for treatment of proliferative diseases. Background of the Invention Understanding how the genomes of eukaryotes are duplicated during each cell cycle is a fundamental problem of modern biology and is a critical aspect of the more general problem of understanding the mechanisms that control cellular proliferation. The transition from Gl into S phase is a major decision point for the cell and is subject to elaborate controls whose mechanisms are not yet understood at the molecular level. (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta (2002) Annu Rev Biochem 71: 333-74; Dutta, A. and S. P. Bell (1997) Annu Rev Cell Dev Biol 13: 293-332; Jallepalli, P. V. and T. J. Kelly (1997) Curr Opin Cell Biol 9(3): 358-63; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown (2000) AnnuRev Biochem 69: 829-80; Stillman, B. (1996) Science 274(5293): 1659-64) The stability of the genome depends upon the precise operation of the DNA "replication switch," as well as upon the proper coupling of DNA replication to other events in the cell. It has become quite clear that perturbation of any of these mechanisms can contribute to cancer. (Sherr, C. J. (1996). Science 274(5293): 1672-7) During the couple of decades, work in a number of laboratories has led to a dramatic advance in our understanding of cellular DNA replication (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta, et al.; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown, et al.). The analysis of simple model systems, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and Xenopus laevis, has resulted in the identification of proteins that act at origins of DNA replication to initiate DNA synthesis. A significant breakthrough was the discovery by Stillman and Bell of the six-subunit origin recognition complex (ORC), which binds to specific origins of DNA replication in S. cerevisiae and recruits additional initiation factors to form the pre -replication complex (pre- RC). The ORC has been conserved throughout eukaryotic evolution. (Chuang, R. Y., L. Chretien, et al. (2002) J Biol Chem 277(19): 16920-7; Gossen, M., D. T. Pak, et al. (1995) Science 270(5242): 1674-7; Moon, K. Y., D. Kong, et al. (1999) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 96(22): 12367-12372; Rowles, A., J. P. Chong, et al. (1996) Cell 87(2): 287-96; Vashee, S., P. Simancek, et al. (2001) J Biol Chem 276(28): 26666-73) We now know that a common set of initiation proteins assemble at replication origins in all eukaryotes and that the activities of these proteins are regulated by specific protein kinases. However, despite this progress, our
understanding of the biochemical mechanisms of initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication remains quite superficial. Genetic studies in yeasts and biochemical studies in Xenopus have demonstrated that the initiation of eukaryotic DNA replication takes place in two stages. (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta, et al.; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown, et al.) In the first stage, which lasts from late M through the Gl phase of the cell cycle, pre-RCs are assembled at origins of DNA replication. At the beginning of S phase, pre-RCs are activated by the action of two heterodimeric protein kinases, Cdc7-Dbf4 and S phase cyclin-dependent kinase (S-CDK). This event marks the transition to the second stage of initiation, during which the origin is unwound and additional proteins are recruited to form active replication forks. The presence of cyclin dependent kinase activity (and perhaps other inhibitory factors) prevents further assembly of pre-RCs during the second stage of the initiation reaction. This mechanism constitutes a "replication switch" that ensures that origins of DNA replication fire only once each cell cycle, thus preserving genomic integrity. As noted above, the activation of the pre-RC requires the activities of Cdc7-Dbf4 and S-CDK. Both kinases are activated at the Gl/S boundary when their respective regulatory subunits accumulate to sufficient levels, and both appear to associate with the pre- RC. (Brown, G. W., P. V. Jallepalli, et al. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl, USA 94: 6142-6147; Dowell, S. J., P. Romanowski, et al. (1994) Science 265(5176): 1243-6; Jallepalli, P. V. and T. J. Kelly; Jares, P. and J. J. Blow (2000) Genes Dev 14(12): 528-40; Johnston, L. H., H. Masai, et al. (1999) Trends Cell Biol 9(7): 249-52; Leatherwood, J., A. Lopez-Girona, et al. (1996) Nature 379(6563): 360-3; Walter, J. C. (2000) /. Biol. Chem.275(50): 39773-8) Although the regulation of S-CDK activity has been shown to be quite complex with multiple cyclin subunits pairing with multiple Cdk subunits, Cdc7 activity is strictly regulated by the expression of the Dbf4 subunit, which is very tightly cell cycle regulated with peak expression occurring at the Gl/S boundary. (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta, et al.) The activity of Cdc7 has been shown to be required for entry into S phase of the cell cycle. Studies in yeast have shown that cells depleted of this kinase activity progress from Gl to M phase without an intervening S phase, resulting in cell death (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta, et al.; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown, et al.), and conditional knockout mouse Embryonic stem (ES) cells for Dbf4 have recently been shown to undergo S phase arrest with resultant apoptosis when gene expression is silenced. (Yamashita, N., Kim, J-M, et al. (2005) Genes to Cells 10: 551-563) Genetic evidence has shown that the six subunit Minichromosome Maintenance complex (MCM2-7), the presumed helicase activity required for origin unwinding and the initiation of DNA
replication (Bell, S. P. and A. Dutta, et al.; Kelly, T. J. and G. W. Brown, et al.), is a target of regulation by the Cdc7-Dbf4 kinase, and the Mcm2 protein is an excellent substrate for the Cdc7:Dbf4 kinase in vitro. (Sclafani, R. A. (2000) / Cell Sci 113(Pt 12): 2111-7) The MCM proteins and Cdc7 have been shown to be overexpressed in the majority of cancers including both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. (Hess, G.F., Drong, R.F., et al. (1998) Gene 211 (1): 133-40; Velculescu, V.E., Madden, S.L., et al. (1999) Nature Genetics 23: 387- 88) Importantly, it has recently been shown that overexpression of Cdc7 in cutaneous melanoma samples was associated with poor risk disease and chemotherapy resistance. (Nambiar, S., Mirmohammadsadegh, A., et al. (2007) Carcinogenesis 12: 2501-2510) In addition, Cdc7 overexpression has also been shown in aggressive undifferentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma and in aggressive head and neck cancers that are positive for human papillomavirus (Fluge, O., Bruland, O., Akslen, L.A., et al. (2006) Thyroid 16 (2): 161-175; Slebos, RJ.C, Yi, Y., Ely, K., et al. (2006) Clin Cancer Res 12(3): 701-709). In fact, sensitive assay systems are being developed in Europe and the United States to detect the presence of MCM proteins in the urine of patients with genitourinary malignancies as well as breast cancer patients, and this seems to correlate with a more aggressive malignancy. Cdc7 activity is also conserved from yeast to man making it an attractive candidate for a therapeutic target. The logical interpretation of this data is that Cdc7:Dbf4 is a bona fide therapeutic target. Therefore, there is a need for an effective therapeutic regimen for treatment of neoplastic diseases. In particular, there is a need for effective combinations of CDC7 inhibitors and ant- neoplastic compounds for treatment of cancer.

Brief Description of the Drawings FIG.1. Role of Cdc7 in the G1→S Phase Transition: Schematic diagram of the initiation of DNA replication in mammalian cells. The process can be divided into several distinct phases: assembly, activation, and elongation. During assembly, the origin of DNA replication (ori) is bound by ORC1-6, the origin recognition complex that serves as a platform for pre- replication complex (pre-RC) assembly during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This includes binding of the accessory proteins Cdc6, Cdt1, and the MCM2-7 protein complex that serves as the replicative helicase. At the G1/S phase transition, the pre-RCs are activated by both cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) and Cdc7 kinase resulting in the establishment of the replication fork. Fork establishment includes recruitment of single strand DNA binding protein (RPA) and the DNA polymerases required for leading and lagging strand synthesis. Regulation of Cdc6 and Cdt1 via phosphorylation and protein complex assembly with geminin, respectively, inhibits further assembly of functional pre-RCs ensuring genomic integrity. FIG.2. Elutriation profile of PhALL3.1: Centrifugal elutriation was used to synchronize the recently established Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line (PhALL3.1). An asynchronous culture (4 liters) was pelleted, resuspended in a small volume (20 ml), and loaded into the elutriation rotor as outlined by the manufacturer (Beckman). After equilibration and washing, cell samples were eluted from the rotor based on size with the smaller cells exiting the rotor first. Ten fractions (250 ml) were taken across the gradient and standard FACS analysis performed on 10 ml of each fraction looking at DNA content. G1, S, and G2 phase cell populations are indicated in the asynchronous profile. This method allows for isolation of phase specific cell populations. FIG.3. Granaticin A Inhibits G1→S Transition: Granaticin A induces cell cycle arrest in G1 phase cells. Ph-ALL3.1 cells were subjected to standard centrifugal elutriation conditions and the G1 phase fraction, as determined by FACS analysis (Time Zero), was released into granaticin A (1 mM) or vehicle control (DMSO) for the indicated times. Cell samples post- release into granaticin A or vehicle control (DMSO) were pulsed for 2 hours with 3H- thymidine and samples were collected, washed, and acid precipitable counts were measured by scintillation counting. X-axis is time post-release into compound or control (in hours) and y-axis is counts per minute (CPM). The graph demonstrates that while the control cells progress through a normal S phase with a peak in incorporation as expected from the cell cycle profile observed, granaticin A treated samples stop incorporating 3H-thymidine with
cell cycle profiles showing G1 phase arrest. This implies that there is a complete block to enter S phase (and activate origin firing) in the G1 population, corresponding to inhibition of Cdc7 kinase activity. FIG.4. Granaticin A induces Caspase 3-mediated apoptosis: 10 hours following release of G1 synchronized PhALL3.1 cells into either control (DMSO) or granaticin A, cell samples were taken and caspase 3 activity was measured using a standard fluorometric assay as described in Gao et al., “Dimeric Smac/Diablo Peptide Directly Relieves Caspase-3 Inhibition by XIAP” Journal Biological Chemistry (2007) 282:30718-30727. FIG.5. Granaticin A Induces Arrest and Apoptosis in S Phase cells: Granaticin A induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in S phase cells. Ph-ALL3.1 cells were subjected to standard centrifugal elutriation conditions and the S phase fraction, as determined by FACS analysis, was released into granaticin A (1 μM) or vehicle control (DMSO) for the indicated times and FACS analysis was performed. Displayed are FACS profiles with DNA content on the x-axis and cell number on the y-axis demonstrating cell cycle progression in the control samples and arrest in the granaticin A treated samples with subsequent apoptosis as the sub-G1 fraction increases with time. Apoptosis was confirmed in additional independent experiments. Asynchronous and time zero correspond to an asynchronous cell sample and the elutriated S phase fraction prior to release, respectively. FIG.6. Thymidine incorporation in S-phase: 3H-Thymidine incorporation during the release experiment outlined in the slide above. Cell samples post-release into granaticin A or vehicle control (DMSO) were pulsed for 2 hours with 3H-thymidine, and samples were collected, washed, and acid precipitable counts were measured by scintillation counting. X-axis is time post-release into compound or control (in hours) and y-axis is counts per minute (CPM). The graph demonstrates that while the control cells progress through a normal S phase with a peak in incorporation as expected from the cell cycle profile observed, granaticin A treated samples display markedly reduced incorporation early and eventually stop incorporating 3H- thymidine with cell cycle profiles showing S phase arrest. This implies that not only is late origin firing inhibited, but that replication fork progression is also inhibited by granaticin A. FIG.7. Granaticin A Inhibits Mcm2 phosphorylation: Following synchronization in S phase and release, PhALL3.1 cells from the experiments of FIG.5 and FIG.6 were collected at the indicated times post release into either control (DMSO) or granaticin A and extracts were subjected to Western blotting to detect total Mcm2 protein. This blot shows inhibition of Mcm2 phosphorylation as early as 2 hours post release into granaticin A and confirms target inhibition by granaticin A within the cell.
FIG.8. Mcm2 phosphorylation by Cdc7: Phosphorylated forms of Mcm2 migrate faster in SDS-PAGE gels. Using highly purified human recombinant Cdc7 and Mcm2, standard in vitro kinase reactions were performed in the presence of radioactive ATP and products were separated on SDS-PAGE gels, stained with silver, and autoradiography was performed to detect phosphorylated forms of Mcm2. Control is a negative control for kinase activity, DMSO is a positive control for kinase activity, granaticin A is a small molecule inhibitor of Cdc7 kinase activity. FIG.9. Granaticin A Induces Cell Cycle Arrest in Hela S3 Cells: HeLa S3 cells (cervical carcinoma) were synchronized at the G1/S transition using standard double thymidine block and release. Synchronized cells (time zero) were released into media containing granaticin A for the indicated times and standard FACS analysis performed looking at DNA content. This study shows that in HeLa cells S phase progression is also blocked by exposure to granaticin A. FIG.10. Granaticin B Induces Cell Cycle Arrest of Hela S3 Cells: An identical experiment to FIG.11. Cell cycle arrest in Hela S3 cells: Morphologic appearance of control (DMSO), granaticin A, and granaticin B treated HeLa S3 cells following 15 hours release from double thymidine block. While control cells look normal and healthy, granaticin A treated cells appear arrested with flattened morphology and peri-nuclear vacuolization consistent with induction of apoptosis. This phenotype is more pronounced in the granaticin B treated cells as one now sees nuclear blebbing and cell death. The corresponding FACS profiles are shown. FIGS.12-14. Inhibition of Granaticin A Induced Caspase-3 Activity in HeLa cells. Growth curves in the presence of the indicated micromolar concentrations of granaticin A were performed and caspase-3 activity was measured following addition of a substrate that when cleaved by caspase-3 results in light emission which is quantitated by a fluorimeter (y-axis) as a function of time (x-axis). FIG.12: HeLa cells alone; FIG.13: Bcl-XL overexpressing HeLa cells; and FIG.14: Bcl-XL overexpressing HeLa cells in the presence of 10 micromolar Ac-DEVD-CHO (a caspase-3 peptide aldehyde inhibitor) demonstrating activation of caspase-3 and apoptosis in granaticin A treated HeLa cells that is rescued by both overexpression of Bcl-XL and chemical inhibition of caspase-3 activity. FIG.15. Granaticin A Does Not Activate the S Phase Checkpoint in HeLa Cells: Exposure of HeLa cells to granaticin A does not activate the S phase checkpoint and results in increased double strand DNA breaks. HeLa cells were incubated in the presence of granaticin A or carrier control (DMSO) for the indicated times and whole cell extracts were subjected to SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. Asyn=asynchronously growing HeLa cells. HU=HeLa
cells exposed to hydroxyurea for the indicated time. HU was used as a control for DNA damaging agent that is known to inhibit the DNA damage checkpoint response. Again, we observed that Mcm2 mobility is shifted in the cells treated with granaticin A. MCM2 mobility is not affected by HU. Activation of the DNA damage/replication checkpoint correlates with ATM/ATR dependent phosphorylation of Chk1 at Ser345. ChK1 Ser345 levels are below detection limits, suggesting that with Cdc7 inhibition, a DNA replication checkpoint is either not efficiently activated or maintained and that inhibitory signals preventing cells from progressing in the cell cycle might not be generated. FIGS.16A-16B. Granaticin A and Granaticin B inhibit multiple tumor types: The indicated cell lines and primary patient samples were tested against the compounds listed in standard cytotoxicity assays (12 point dose response using Alamar blue reduction as an indicator of cell viability). Assays were done in triplicate and IC50 determinations were run in 12-point serial dilutions from 10 mM to 5 nM. IC50 values are displayed with darker shades indicating low nanomolar values and lighter shades high micromolar values, respectively. FIGS.16A and 16B summarize the IC50 determinations for granaticin A and granaticin B, as well as Derivatives 1 and 2 (FIG.16A) against multiple non-small cell lung cancer cell lines, ovarian cancer cell lines, mesothelioma, sarcoma, and melanoma cell lines including cells isolated from primary patient ocular melanoma samples (124859-A and -SB). These include ras and EGFR gatekeeper mutation containing cell lines in addition to p53 mutant cell lines and other known chemotherapy resistant cell lines. Specifically, this included multi-drug resistance phenotype (MDR-overexpressing) cell lines from multiple hematologic and solid tumor cell lines. Table 2 provided herein summarizes the data provided in FIG.16B (see Examples). Table 1 highlights a series of primary patient leukemia samples-both acute and chronic and treatment naïve and refractory tested against granaticins A and B and Derivatives 1 and 2 (see Examples). FIGS.16A and 16B, and Tables 1-2, together, show that granaticin A, Derivatives 1 and 2, and especially granaticin B, are pan-active against multiple tumor cell lines and in primary patient samples from patients with chronic and acute leukemias both treatment naïve and chemotherapy refractory. FIG.17. t(9:22)(q34;q11) Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia cell line: Based on the results of the cytotoxicity assays, granaticin A and granaticin B were chosen to pursue studies in mice using the Ph-ALL3.1 mouse model. The PhALL3.1 cell line was retrovirally transduced with a GFP-firefly luciferase expressing construct using standard techniques. The infected cells were sorted by FACS for CD19 and GFP co-expression. Panel A is the FACS profile of the cells before transduction and Panel B is the FACS profile of the cells after transduction
demonstrating CD19-GFP double positive cells which were then used to inject immunocompromised SCID-Beige mice. Ph+ ALL cells were isolated from the pleural fluid of a patient treated on the Leukemia Service, and used to create a cell line that grows readily in culture. The cytogenetics were confirmed by karyotype, FISH, RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis for p190 bcr-abl. The cell line was then transduced with a retrovirus GFP-firefly luciferase construct. Granaticin A has been shown to be very active against this cell line in the cell based assays. FIGS.18A-18B. Mouse survival following tumor cell inoculation: 5 million PhALL3.1 tumor cells were injected into the tail veins of a cohort of eight SCID-Beige immunocompromised mice and disease progression was monitored on the indicated days using in vivo bioluminescence imaging. FIG.18A shows that this mouse model of human acute lymphoblastic leukemia faithfully duplicates the progression seen in human disease. FIG. 18B shows that when left untreated these mice meet criteria for euthanasia by day 41 indicating a rapid, progressive, and lethal leukemia. FIGS.19A-19B. Granaticin A Inhibits growth of PhALL3.1 in vivo: Using a SCID-Beige mouse intraperitoneal tumor model of PhALL3.1, mice were intraperitoneally treated with vehicle control (DMSO) or the indicated doses of granaticin A on days 3, 6, 9, and 12. Day 16 in vivo bioluminescence imaging (FIG.19A) and quantitation of tumor volume are shown (FIG.19B) and indicate 90% reduction in tumor volume by Day 16 in mice treated at the highest dose (3.0 mg/kg). Separate necropsy data revealed no significant (grade 2 or higher) organ toxicity in all mice examined at each dose level. FIGS.20A-20C. Granaticin B Inhibits Ph-ALL3.1 growth in vivo: Given the rapid intravenous clearance of granaticin A by the liver, granaticin B was used in a continuous infusion experiment with the PhALL3.1 animal model. Diffusion pumps containing granaticin B were surgically implanted in the flanks of 5 cohorts of mice on day +3 after injection of 5 million cells via the tail veins, and the drug (or control—C-DMSO) at the indicated concentration was allowed to diffuse for seven days before pump removal. The mice were imaged on day 12 (FIGS.20A-20B) and tumor volume remaining was calculated (FIG.20C).95% tumor reduction was seen at the highest dose. The mice tolerated the procedure without obvious organ toxicity as seen on necropsy and indicate that granaticin B is stable enough when given intravenously to achieve efficacy against this lethal tumor model.
FIG.21. Granaticin B stability study comparison in HP/MP: Standard plasma stability studies were conducted with Granaticin B. The recovery of Granaticin B was measured by mass spectrometry. FIG.22A-22C. Granaticin B is Effective Against Multiple Solid Tumors: granaticin B is efficacious against mouse models of melanoma (FIG.22A), non-small cell lung cancer (FIG. 22B), and ovarian cancer (FIG.22C). For the ovarian cancer experiments, SCID-Beige mice were injected with 5 million OVCAR3 cells that had been transduced with a GFP-firefly luciferase expressing plasmid (Frattini, M. G. and Brentjens, R. J., unpublished data). These cells were then injected intraperitoneally into 4 cohorts of mice on Day 1. From days 7-14 the mice were injected daily with the indicated concentrations of granaticin B in the intraperitoneal space. Imaging (luciferase activity) was acquired on day 42 and revealed essentially no disease in the mice treated at 3 mg/kg granaticin B. For the melanoma and non small-cell lung cancer models, SKMEL-28 and A459 cells, respectively were used in standard nude mouse xenograft experiments. Nude mice were treated with 2.5 mg/kg/day granaticin B in a continuous fashion using osmotic diffusion pumps. Sections of the treated xenografts are shown after euthanasia at day 28 and H&E staining. Control sections revealed no evidence of necrosis or cell death (not shown). FIGS.23A-23C. Granaticin A and B are not cytotoxic to normal diploid cells: FIGS.23A- 23B: Granaticin B exposure is not cytotoxic to normal diploid cells. Either HeLa or RPE (retinal pigment epithelial cells, a normal human diploid cell line) cells were incubated in carrier control (DMSO) or granaticin B (1 microM) for 24 hours and samples were subjected to standard FACS analysis with the x-axis indicating DNA content (FIG.23A). The cell cycle profile for the RPE cells is essentially unaffected by granaticin B exposure where the HeLa cell cycle profile indicates apoptotic cell death with an increase in sub-G1 DNA containing cells and loss of normal cell cycle progression. Extracts from cells at the indicated times, exposed to either DMSO or granaticin B (1 microM), were used in standard caspase-3 activity assays to monitor for induction of apoptosis and show that capsae-3 is only activated in HeLa cells exposed to granaticin B (FIG.23B). Granaticin B exposure does not result in caspase-3 activation in RPE cells. FIG.23C: Granaticin A exposure is not cytotoxic to normal diploid cells. Either HeLa or RPE (retinal pigment epithelial cells, a normal diploid cell line) cells were incubated in carrier control (DMSO) or granaticin A for 24 hours and samples were subjected to standard FACS analysis with FL2 indicating DNA content. The cell cycle profile for the RPE cells is unaffected by granaticin A exposure where the HeLa
cell cycle profile indicates apoptotic cell death with an increase in sub-G1 DNA containing cells. FIGS.24A-24B. Granaticin B is very effective against JOKE-2 cells. The JOKE-2 cell line was derived from a patient with Philadelphia chromosome positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Ph-ALL). The patient was clinically resistant to imatinib mesylate and the Bcr- Abl kinase was found to have the following high-risk resistance mutations in the Abl kinase domain (F317L, F359V, T3151, and E255K). FIG.24A: Joke-2 cells were grown in the presence of DMSO control or granaticin B (1 microM) for the indicated times and viability was measured after staining a cell sample in trypan blue (Sigma-Aldrich). FIG.24B: Extracts from cells at the indicated times, exposed to either DMSO or granaticin B (1 microM), were used in standard caspase-3 activity assays to monitor for induction of apoptosis and show that capsae-3 is only activated in cells exposed to granaticin B. Figure 25A-25B. Triple treatment of LBS-007, Venetoclax and Azacytidine is surprisingly effective in p53 mutant Kasumi-1 AML cell line.25A: Kasumi-1 cells were grown in presence of DMSO (Ctrl) or LBS-007 (40nM), Venetoclax (20nM) or Azacytidine (500nM). Single treatment of LBS-007 and Venetoclax significantly decreased cell viability when compared to control.25B: Kasumi-1 cells were grown in presence of DMSO (Ctrl) or double combination of 007+Ven, 007+Aza, Ven+Aza or a triple combination of 007+Ven+Aza. The double and triple treatments all significantly decreased cell viability when compared to control. Importantly, triple treatment significantly decreases cell viability when compared to double treatments, indicating that triple treatment has superior efficacy compared to double treatments. Figure 26A-26B. Triple treatment of LBS-007, Venetoclax and Azacytidine is surprisingly effective in p53 wild type CESS AML cell line.26A: CESS cells were grown in presence of DMSO (Ctrl) or LBS-007 (40nM), Venetoclax (20nM) or Azacytidine (500nM) as a single agent. Single treatment of LBS-007 significantly decreased cell viability when compared to control.26B: CESS cells were grown in presence of DMSO (Ctrl) or double combination of 007+Ven, 007+Aza, Ven+Aza or a triple combination of 007+Ven+Aza. The double and triple treatments all significantly decreased cell viability when compared to control. Importantly, triple treatment significantly decreases cell viability when compared to double treatments, indicating that triple treatment has superior efficacy compared to double treatments.

W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, 1999, incorporated herein by reference. These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, the Examples and in the claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents. The compounds useful in the present invention may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, the racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of the invention. As used herein, the term “isomers” includes any and all geometric isomers and stereoisomers. For example, “isomers” include cis- and trans-isomers, E- and Z-isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, racemic mixtures thereof, and
other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of the invention. For instance, an isomer/enantiomer may, in some embodiments, be provided substantially free of the corresponding enantiomer, and may also be referred to as “optically enriched.” “Optically enriched,” as used herein, means that the compound is made up of a significantly greater proportion of one enantiomer. In certain embodiments the compound of the present invention is made up of at least about 90% by weight of a particular enantiomer. In other embodiments the compound is made up of at least about 95%, 98%, or 99% by weight of a particular enantiomer. A desired enantiomer may be isolated from a racemic mixture by any method known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or the formation and crystallization of chiral salts, or the enantiomer may be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind.1972). As used herein, the term “tautomer” includes two or more interconvertable 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.

A carbohydrate may be a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, trisaccharide, oligosaccharide, or polysaccharide. The most basic carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, such as glucose, sucrose, galactose, mannose, ribose, arabinose, xylose, and fructose. Disaccharides are two joined monosaccharides. Exemplary disaccharides include sucrose, maltose, cellobiose, and lactose. Typically, an oligosaccharide includes between three and six monosaccharide units (e.g., raffinose, stachyose), and polysaccharides include six or more monosaccharide units. Exemplary polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Carbohydrates may contain modified saccharide units such as 2′-deoxyribose
wherein a hydroxyl group is removed, 2′-fluororibose wherein a hydroxyl group is replace with a fluorine, or N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose. (e.g., 2′- fluororibose, deoxyribose, and hexose). Carbohydrates may exist in many different forms, for example, conformers, cyclic forms, acyclic forms, stereoisomers, tautomers, anomers, and isomers. The phrase, “pharmaceutically acceptable derivative”, as used herein, denotes any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester, or salt of such ester, of such compound, or any other adduct or derivative which, upon administration to a patient, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound as otherwise described herein, or a metabolite or residue thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thus include among others pro-drugs. As used herein, 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 useful in this invention 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 used 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+(C1-4alkyl)4 salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Other pharmaceutically acceptable
salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. Additionally, as used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable ester” refers to esters that hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Suitable ester groups include, for example, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable aliphatic carboxylic acids, particularly alkanoic, alkenoic, cycloalkanoic and alkanedioic acids, in which each alkyl or alkenyl moeity advantageously has not more than 6 carbon atoms. Examples of particular esters include formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates. Furthermore, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein refers to those prodrugs of the compounds useful in the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the issues of humans and lower animals with undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds useful in the invention. The term “prodrug” refers to compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. A pro-drug is a derivative of a compound, usually with significantly reduced pharmacological activity, which contains an additional moiety, which is susceptible to removal in vivo yielding the parent molecule as the pharmacologically active species. An example of a pro-drug is an ester or an ether which is cleaved in vivo to yield a compound of interest. Pro-drugs of a variety of compounds, and materials and methods for derivatizing the parent compounds to create the pro-drugs, are known and may be adapted to the present invention. The biological activity of pro-drugs and pro-drugs may also be altered by appending a functionality onto the compound, which may be catalyzed by an enzyme. Also, included are oxidation and reduction reactions, including enzyme-catalyzed oxidation and reduction reactions. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol.14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. As used herein the term “inhibit” means to reduce the amount of kinase activity to a level or amount that is statistically significantly less than an initial level, which may be a baseline level of kinase activity.
As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence. As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms “prevent,” “preventing” and “prevention” contemplate an action that occurs before a subject begins to suffer from the specified disease or disorder, which inhibits or reduces the severity of the disease or disorder. The terms “administer,” “administering,” or “administration,” as used herein refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, or inhaling the compound. The term “subject” refers to any animal. The subject may be at any stage of development. A “subject” to which administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g, infant, child, adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult or senior adult)) and/or other primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys); mammals, including commercially relevant mammals such as cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cats, and/or dogs; and/or birds, including commercially relevant birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, and/or turkeys. In some embodiments, the subject is a rodent. In certain embodiments, the subject is an experimental animal such as a mouse, rat, dog, or non-human primate. In certain embodiments, the subject is a transgenic animal. The term “proliferative disorder” as used herein refers to any disease associated with an undesired and/or abnormal proliferation of cells. The cells may be any type of cell found in the subject. The proliferation may be due to any cause (e.g., any genetic mutation, any signal). A therapeutically effective amount of a compound comprises administering an amount necessary to achieve a desired result. The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, general condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the particular anticancer agent, its mode of administration, the desired outcome, and the like. In certain embodiments of the present invention, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound or pharmaceutical composition is that amount effective for

General considerations in the formulation and/or manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions agents can be found, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Sixteenth Edition, E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1980), and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st Edition (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005). As shown in Example 5 in connection with FIG.25 for cell viability experiment on Kasumi-1 cells, azicitydine (Aza) alone had almost no effect, and LBS-007 and Venetoclax (Ven) each alone provided about the same effectiveness on Kasumi-1 cells with cell viability at about 60%. Notably, combination of Aza+Ven as well as LBS-007+Aza provided no additional benefit as compared to LBS-007 or Ven alone, illustrating that double combination therapy do not always result in better results. However, when LBS-007 is combined with Ven, cell viability substantially decreased by almost half to about 35%, demonstrating that the LBS-007 and Ven
combination provides synergistic effect. Surprisingly, although Aza alone is shown to have no effect on cell viability, the addition of Aza to LBS-007 and Ven provided nearly 20% improvement to cell viability results. As shown in Example 5 in connection with FIG.26 for cell viability experiment on CESS cells, Ven and Aza alone showed little or no effect on cell viability at the concentration tested whereas LBS-007 demonstrated substantial effect on cell viability at about 50%. Although showing no effect individually, Ven+Aza in combination achieved about 50% cell viability. However, the combinations LBS-007+Aza and LBS-007+Ven doubled effect on cell viability compared to that of the Ven+Aza combination to about 25% cell viability. Most notably, treatment of the CESS cells with the triple combination of LBS-007+Aza+Ven resulted in cell viability of about 7%. The Examples demonstrated that therapy with certain combinations of compounds work substantially better than others and that the triple treatment approach especially combining LBS- 007, Venetoclax (Ven), and Azacitidine (Aza) in particular proved to be the most effective in inducing cytotoxicity in these acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines. This finding underscores the potential of certain combination treatment as effective therapeutic avenue for AML.

Inhibition of Primary Patient Samples Table 1 highlights a series of primary patient leukemia samples-both acute and chronic and treatment naïve and refractory and the effect of granaticin A, granaticin B, derivative 1, and derivative 2 to inhibit cellular proliferation. The IC50 data reveals that granaticin B is approximately one log more active than granaticin A against all the samples tested and inhibits cellular proliferation in the low nanomolar range. The two starred samples represent serial samples taken from the same patients after they received 2-3 cycles of additional high dose salvage chemotherapy and indicate that although refractory to salvage chemotherapy, the Cdc7 pathway remains a potentially efficacious target as the sensitivity to these compounds remains unchanged. Importantly, each patient sample was resistant to the prior therapy received using this assay. • TABLE 1 Inhibition of patient leukemia samples IC50 (microM) Granaticin Granaticin Leukemia sample A Deriv.1 Deriv.2 B AML, de novo 0.72 0.62 2.01 0.18 AML, primary refractory 1 0.75 0.62 1.55 0.11 AML, primary refractory 1* 0.63 0.47 1.44 0.10 AML, primary refractory 0.77 0.84 1.45 0.14 AML, relapsed 1.20 0.70 2.23 0.10 AML, relapsed 0.21 0.23 0.35 0.05 AML, relapsed s/p HSCT 1.88 1.86 8.10 0.62 AMMoL 0.99 0.79 5.88 0.49 ALL, Ph+ 0.56 0.47 2.57 0.19 Biphenotypic acute 0.30 0.69 0.90 0.04

For each experimental condition, cells were seeded in 96- well plate at a density of 1 x 10^5 cells/ml for each well. Drug Treatments: The three drugs, LBS-007 (007) is granaticin B, Venetoclax (Ven), and Azacitidine (Aza), were administered at fixed concentrations to the cells. Control Group: Cells received no drug treatment. Single treatment Group: Cells were treated with single drug. (007, Ven or Aza) Double Treatment Group: Cells were treated with a combination of two drugs. (007+Ven, 007+Aza, Ven+Aza) Triple Treatment Group: Cells were simultaneously treated with all three drugs. (007+Ven+Aza) Dose and Duration:
Single treatment and combinations of LBS-007 (007), Venetoclax (Ven) and Azacytidine (Aza) at 40nM, 20nM and 500nM respectively were treated for a duration of 72 hours. Cell Viability Assessment: Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay. Following the completion of the 72-hour drug treatments, CCK-8 reagent was added to each well at 10% of the total volume, and the cells were incubated for an additional 1.5 hours. The absorbance of 450 nm was measured using a SpectraMax iD3 microplate reader (Molecular Devices). Statistical Analysis: Statistical analyses were conducted to assess the significance of observed differences among the experimental groups. Initially, a one-way ANOVA was employed to determine whether there were overall differences among the control, double treatment, and triple treatment groups. Subsequently, Student’s two-tailed t-test was used to analyze data sets. Results with * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 were considered significant when compared to Control (Ctrl). Results with # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, and ### p < 0.001 were considered significant when compared as indicated. All experimental data are reported as the mean and the error bars represent the experimental standard error (± standard deviation, SD). The experiment focused on two types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, Kasumi-1 and CESS, representing different subtypes within the AML spectrum. The Kasumi-1 cells are myeloblast cells that was isolated from the peripheral blood of an acute myeloblastic leukemia Asian male patient. CESS cells are lymphoblast cells isolated from the blood of a White male with myelomonocytic leukemia. The results are shown in FIGs.25 and 26. As shown in FIG.25 for cell viability experiment on Kasumi-1 cells, Aza alone had almost no effect, and LBS-007 and Ven each alone provided about the same effectiveness on Kasumi-1 cells with cell viability at about 60%. Notably, combination of Aza+Ven as well as 007+Aza provided no additional benefit as compared to LBS-007 or Ven alone, illustrating that double combination therapy do not always result in better results. However, when LBS- 007 is combined with Ven, cell viability improved almost doubled, showing that combination of LBS-007 and Ven provides synergistic effect. Surprisingly, although Aza alone is shown
to have no effect on cell viability, the addition of Aza to LBS-007 and Ven provided nearly 20% improvement to cell viability results. As shown in FIG.26 for cell viability experiment on CESS cells, Ven and Aza alone showed little or no effect on cell viability at the concentration tested whereas LBS-007 demonstrated substantial effect on cell viability at about 50%. Although showing no effect individually, Ven+Aza in combination achieved about 50% cell viability. However, the combinations LBS-007+Aza and LBS-007+Ven doubled effect on cell viability compared to that of the Ven+Aza combination to about 25% cell viability. Most notably, treatment of the CESS cells with the triple combination of LBS-007+Aza+Ven resulted in cell viability of about 7%. The results of our investigation demonstrated that the triple treatment approach, combining LBS-007, Venetoclax (Ven), and Azacitidine (Aza), proved to be the most effective in inducing cytotoxicity in these AML cell lines. This finding underscores the potential of the triple treatment strategy as a promising combination therapeutic avenue for AML.
