## Background
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/269,454, filed Oct. 7, 2011, which is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/US2011/038700, filed Jun. 1, 2011, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/350,431, filed Jun. 1, 2010; the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.


FIELD
Provided herein are hydroxypyridone derivatives, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Also provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a proliferative disease.
BACKGROUND
Hematologic or hematopoietic malignancies are cancers of the blood or bone marrow, including leukemia and lymphoma. Leukemia is characterized by the uncontrolled accumulation of blood cells, which is categorized into four types: acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Acute leukemia is a rapidly progressing disease that results in the accumulation of immature, functionless cells in the marrow and blood. The marrow often stops producing enough normal red cells, white cells and platelets. On the other hand, chronic leukemia progresses more slowly and allows greater numbers of more mature, functional cells to be made. Chronic leukemias account for 11 percent more cases than acute leukemias.
It was estimated that 245,225 people in the United States were living with, or were in remission from, leukemia in 2009. Leukemia was expected to strike more than 10 times as many adults as children in 2009 (About 44,790 adults compared with 3,509 children, aged 0-14 years). The most common types of leukemia in adults are acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), with estimated 12,810 new cases in 2009, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), with about 15,490 new cases in 2009. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) was estimated to affect about 5,050 persons in 2009. The most common type of leukemia in children is acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), which was estimated to affect about 5,760 persons in 2009.
While current chemotherapy can result in complete remissions, the long term disease-free survival rate for leukemias, in particular AML, is low. For example, the survival rate for AML was estimated to be less than about 20% in 2009. Therefore, there is a clear and unmet need for effective therapeutics for treatment of hematologic malignancies, including leukemias.

The term “isotopic enrichment” refers to the percentage of incorporation of a less prevalent isotope (e.g., D for hydrogen) of an element at a given position in a molecule in the place of a more prevalent isotope (e.g., 1H for hydrogen) of the element. As used herein, when an atom at a particular position in a molecule is designated as a particular less prevalent isotope, it is understood that the abundance of that isotope at that position is substantially greater than its natural abundance.
The term “isotopic enrichment factor” refers the ratio between the isotopic abundance in an isotopically enriched compound and the natural abundance of a specific isotope.
The term “hydrogen” or the symbol “H” refers to the composition of naturally occurring hydrogen isotopes, which include protium (1H), deuterium (2H or D), and tritium (3H), in their natural abundances. Protium is the most common hydrogen isotope having a natural abundance of more than 99.98%. Deuterium is a less prevalent hydrogen isotope having a natural abundance of about 0.0156%.
The term “deuterium enrichment” refers to the percentage of incorporation of deuterium at a given position in a molecule in the place of hydrogen. For example, deuterium enrichment of 1% at a given position means that 1% of molecules in a given sample contain deuterium at the specified position. Because the naturally occurring distribution of deuterium is about 0.0156% on average, deuterium enrichment at any position in a compound synthesized using non-enriched starting materials is about 0.0156% on average. As used herein, when a particular position in an isotopically enriched compound is designated as having deuterium, it is understood that the abundance of deuterium at that position in the compound is substantially greater than its natural abundance (0.0156%).
The term “carbon” or the symbol “C” refers to the composition of naturally occurring carbon isotopes, which include carbon-12 (12C) and carbon-13 (13C) in their natural abundances. Carbon-12 is the most common carbon isotope having a natural abundance of more than 98.89%. Carbon-13 is a less prevalent hydrogen isotope having a natural abundance of about 1.11%.
The term “carbon-13 enrichment” or “13C enrichment” refers to the percentage of incorporation of carbon-13 at a given position in a molecule in the place of carbon. For example, carbon-13 enrichment of 10% at a given position means that 10% of molecules in a given sample contain carbon-13 at the specified position. Because the naturally occurring distribution of carbon-13 is about 1.11% on average, carbon-13 enrichment at any position in a compound synthesized using non-enriched starting materials is about 1.11% on average. As used herein, when a particular position in an isotopically enriched compound is designated as having carbon-13, it is understood that the abundance of carbon-13 at that position in the compound is substantially greater than its natural abundance (1.11%).
The terms “substantially pure” and “substantially homogeneous” mean sufficiently homogeneous to appear free of readily detectable impurities as determined by standard analytical methods used by one of ordinary skill in the art, including, but not limited to, thin layer chromatography (TLC), gel electrophoresis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS); or sufficiently pure such that further purification would not detectably alter the physical, chemical, biological, and/or pharmacological properties, such as enzymatic and biological activities, of the substance. In certain embodiments, “substantially pure” or “substantially homogeneous” refers to a collection of molecules, wherein at least about 50%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, or at least about 99.5% by weight of the molecules are a single compound, including a single enantiomer, a racemic mixture, a mixture of enantiomers, or a diastereomeric mixture thereof, as determined by standard analytical methods. As used herein, when an atom at a particular position in an isotopically enriched molecule is designated as a particular less prevalent isotope, a molecule that contains other than the designated isotope at the specified position is an impurity with respect to the isotopically enriched compound. Thus, for a deuterated compound that has an atom at a particular position designated as deuterium, a compound that contains a protium at the same position is an impurity.
The term “solvate” refers to a complex or aggregate formed by one or more molecules of a solute, e.g., a compound provided herein, and one or more molecules of a solvent, which present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount. Suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and acetic acid. In certain embodiments, the solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable. In one embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a crystalline form. In another embodiment, the complex or aggregate is in a noncrystalline form. Where the solvent is water, the solvate is a hydrate. Examples of hydrates include, but are not limited to, a hemihydrate, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate, and pentahydrate.
The term “proliferative disorder or disease” refers to unwanted cell proliferation of one or more subset of cells in a multicellular organism resulting in harm (i.e., discomfort or decreased life expectancy) to the multicellular organisms. A proliferative disorder or disease can occur in different types of animals and humans. For example, as used herein, “proliferative disorder or disease” includes neoplastic disorders and other proliferative disorders.
The term “neoplastic disorder or disease” or “cancer” refers to a tumor resulting from abnormal or uncontrolled cellular growth. Examples of neoplastic disorders include, but are not limited to, hematopoietic disorders, such as the myeloproliferative disorders, thrombocythemia, essential thrombocytosis (ET), angiogenic myeloid metaplasia, myelofibrosis (MF), myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), polycythemia vera (PV), the cytopenias, and pre-malignant myelodysplastic syndromes; cancers, such as glioma cancers, lung cancers, breast cancers, colorectal cancers, prostate cancers, gastric cancers, esophageal cancers, colon cancers, pancreatic cancers, ovarian cancers, and hematologic malignancies.
The term “hematologic malignancy” refers to cancer of the body's blood-forming and immune system-the bone marrow and lymphatic tissue. Examples of hematological malignancies include, for instance, myelodysplasia, lymphomas, leukemias, lymphomas (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), Hodgkin's disease (also called Hodgkin's lymphoma), and myeloma, such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL), acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), prolymphocytic leukemia (PML), juvenile myelomonocyctic leukemia (JMML), adult T-cell ALL, AML with trilineage myelodysplasia (AML/TMDS), mixed lineage leukemia (MLL), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), and multiple myeloma (MM).
The term “leukemia” refers to malignant neoplasms of the blood-forming tissues, including, but not limited to, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelocytic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and acute myeloblastic leukemia. The leukemia can be relapsed, refractory, or resistant to conventional therapy.
The term “relapsed” refers to a situation where a subject or a mammal, who has had a remission of cancer after therapy has a return of cancer cells.
The term “refractory or resistant” refers to a circumstance where a subject or a mammal, even after intensive treatment, has residual cancer cells in his body.
The term “drug resistance” refers to the condition when a disease does not respond to the treatment of a drug or drugs. Drug resistance can be either intrinsic, which means the disease has never been responsive to the drug or drugs, or it can be acquired, which means the disease ceases responding to a drug or drugs that the disease had previously responded to. In certain embodiments, drug resistance is intrinsic. In certain embodiments, the drug resistance is acquired.

and enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of two or more diastereomers, tautomers, mixtures of two or more tautomers, or isotopic variants thereof or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, or prodrugs thereof.

In another embodiment, provided herein is a compound selected from the group consisting of:




and enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of two or more diastereomers, tautomers, mixtures of two or more tautomers, or isotopic variants thereof; or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, or prodrugs thereof.

In yet another embodiment, provided herein is 6-cyclohexyl-4-methyl-2-oxopyridin-1(2H)-yl benzoate 338.
In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein is deuterium-enriched. In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein is carbon-13 enriched. In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein is carbon-14 enriched. In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein contains one or more less prevalent isotopes for other elements, including, but not limited to, 15N for nitrogen; 17O or 18O for oxygen, and 33S, 34S, or 36S for sulfur.
In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein has an isotopic enrichment factor of no less than about 5, no less than about 10, no less than about 20, no less than about 30, no less than about 40, no less than about 50, no less than about 60, no less than about 70, no less than about 80, no less than about 90, no less than about 100, no less than about 200, no less than about 500, no less than about 1,000, no less than about 2,000, no less than about 5,000, or no less than about 10,000. In any events, however, an isotopic enrichment factor for a specified isotope is no greater than the maximum isotopic enrichment factor for the specified isotope, which is the isotopic enrichment factor when a compound at a given position is 100% enriched with the specified isotope. Thus, the maximum isotopic enrichment factor is different for different isotopes. The maximum isotopic enrichment factor is 6410 for deuterium and 90 for carbon-13.
In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein has a deuterium enrichment factor of no less than about 64 (about 1% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 130 (about 2% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 320 (about 5% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 640 (about 10% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 1,300 (about 20% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 3,200 (about 50% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 4,800 (about 75% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 5,130 (about 80% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 5,450 (about 85% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 5,770 (about 90% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 6,090 (about 95% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 6,220 (about 97% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 6,280 (about 98% deuterium enrichment), no less than about 6,350 (about 99% deuterium enrichment), or no less than about 6,380 (about 99.5% deuterium enrichment). The deuterium enrichment can be determined using conventional analytical methods known to one of ordinary skill in the art, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein has a carbon-13 enrichment factor of no less than about 1.8 (about 2% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 4.5 (about 5% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 9 (about 10% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 18 (about 20% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 45 (about 50% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 68 (about 75% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 72 (about 80% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 77 (about 85% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 81 (about 90% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 86 (about 95% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 87 (about 97% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 88 (about 98% carbon-13 enrichment), no less than about 89 (about 99% carbon-13 enrichment), or no less than about 90 (about 99.5% carbon-13 enrichment).

The compounds provided herein are intended to encompass all possible stereoisomers, unless a particular stereochemistry is specified. Where the compound provided herein contains an alkenyl or alkenylene group, the compound may exist as one or mixture of geometric cis/trans (or Z/E) isomers. Where structural isomers are interconvertible, the compound may exist as a single tautomer or a mixture of tautomers. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in the compound that contains, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group; or so-called valence tautomerism in the compound that contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.

In certain embodiments, the compound provided herein is an ethanolaminium salt.
The compound provided herein may also be provided as a prodrug, which is a functional derivative of the compound, for example, of Formula I and is readily convertible into the parent compound in vivo. Prodrugs are often useful because, in some situations, they may be easier to administer than the parent compound. They may, for instance, be bioavailable by oral administration whereas the parent compound is not. The prodrug may also have enhanced solubility in pharmaceutical compositions over the parent compound. A prodrug may be converted into the parent drug by various mechanisms, including enzymatic processes and metabolic hydrolysis.

The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, and melt-granulation followed by compression.
2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices
The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein in a modified release dosage form can be fabricated using an osmotic controlled release device, including, but not limited to, one-chamber system, two-chamber system, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruding core system (ECS). In general, such devices have at least two components: (a) a core which contains an active ingredient; and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port, which encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water to the core from an aqueous environment of use so as to cause drug release by extrusion through the delivery port(s).
In addition to the active ingredient(s), the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent, which creates a driving force for transport of water from the environment of use into the core of the device. One class of osmotic agents is water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, which are also referred to as “osmopolymers” and “hydrogels.” Suitable water-swellable hydrophilic polymers as osmotic agents include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), crosslinked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/PVP copolymers, PVA/PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, sodium croscarmellose, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl, cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.
The other class of osmotic agents is osmogens, which are capable of imbibing water to affect an osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts, such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphates, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars, such as dextrose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol; organic acids, such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.
Osmotic agents of different dissolution rates can be employed to influence how rapidly the active ingredient(s) is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars, such as MANNOGEMTM EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, Del.) can be used to provide faster delivery during the first couple of hours to promptly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of the remaining amount to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient(s) is released at such a rate to replace the amount of the active ingredient metabolized and excreted.
The core can also include a wide variety of other excipients and carriers as described herein to enhance the performance of the dosage form or to promote stability or processing.
Materials useful in forming the semipermeable membrane include various grades of acrylics, vinyls, ethers, polyamides, polyesters, and cellulosic derivatives that are water-permeable and water-insoluble at physiologically relevant pHs, or are susceptible to being rendered water-insoluble by chemical alteration, such as crosslinking Examples of suitable polymers useful in forming the coating, include plasticized, unplasticized, and reinforced cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, CA propionate, cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CA ethyl carbamate, CAP, CA methyl carbamate, CA succinate, cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), CA dimethylaminoacetate, CA ethyl carbonate, CA chloroacetate, CA ethyl oxalate, CA methyl sulfonate, CA butyl sulfonate, CA p-toluene sulfonate, agar acetate, amylose triacetate, beta glucan acetate, beta glucan triacetate, acetaldehyde dimethyl acetate, triacetate of locust bean gum, hydroxylated ethylene-vinylacetate, EC, PEG, PPG, PEG/PPG copolymers, PVP, HEC, HPC, CMC, CMEC, HPMC, HPMCP, HPMCAS, HPMCAT, poly(acrylic) acids and esters and poly-(methacrylic) acids and esters and copolymers thereof, starch, dextran, dextrin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, polyalkenes, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
Semipermeable membrane can also be a hydrophobic microporous membrane, wherein the pores are substantially filled with a gas and are not wetted by the aqueous medium but are permeable to water vapor, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,798,119. Such hydrophobic but water-vapor permeable membrane are typically composed of hydrophobic polymers such as polyalkenes, polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyacrylic acid derivatives, polyethers, polysulfones, polyethersulfones, polystyrenes, polyvinyl halides, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl esters and ethers, natural waxes, and synthetic waxes.
The delivery port(s) on the semipermeable membrane can be formed post-coating by mechanical or laser drilling. Delivery port(s) can also be formed in situ by erosion of a plug of water-soluble material or by rupture of a thinner portion of the membrane over an indentation in the core. In addition, delivery ports can be formed during coating process, as in the case of asymmetric membrane coatings of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,612,059 and 5,698,220.
The total amount of the active ingredient(s) released and the release rate can substantially by modulated via the thickness and porosity of the semipermeable membrane, the composition of the core, and the number, size, and position of the delivery ports.
The pharmaceutical compositions in an osmotic controlled-release dosage form can further comprise additional conventional excipients or carriers as described herein to promote performance or processing of the formulation.
The osmotic controlled-release dosage forms can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art (see, Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Santus and Baker, J.

Example 1
General Biological Methods
Cell Culture
Leukemia cells or cell lines (HL-60, RSV411, k562, Jurkat, U937), lymphoma cells or cellines (MDAY-D2), solid tumor cells or cell lines (PPC-1, HeLa, OVCAR-3, DU-145, HT-29), and GMO5757 human lung fibroblasts, are cultured in RPMI 1640 medium. HepG2 hepatoma cells and MRC5 human lung fibroblasts are grown in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium. OCI-M2, OCI-AML2, and NB4 leukemia cell lines and OPM2, KMS11, LP1, UTMC2, KSM18, and OCIMy5 myeloma cell lines are maintained in Iscove Modified Dulbecco Medium. LF1 human lung fibroblasts are maintained in HAM medium. All media are supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 μg/mL of penicillin, and 100 units/mL of streptomycin (all from Hyclone, Logan, Utah). The cells are incubated at 37° C. in a humidified air atmosphere supplemented with 5% CO2.
Cell Cycle
Cells are harvested, washed with cold PBS, resuspended in 70% cold ethanol, and incubated overnight at −20° C. Cells are then treated with 100 ng/mL of DNase-free RNase (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) at 37° C. for 30 min, washed with cold PBS, and resuspended in PBS with 50 μg/mL of protease inhibitors (Sigma). DNA content is analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur; BD Biosciences, San Jose, Calif.).
Example 2
Luciferase Assay for Anti-Cancer Activity
The anticancer activity of a compound is determined using the luciferase assay as described herein.
For the luciferase assay, HeLa cells that stably over-express the human survivin promoter driving firefly luciferase are used, which are prepared by first isolating the full-length survivin promoter (−1059 upstream of the initiating ATG) from HeLa genomic DNA using the forward primer 5′-GGCGAGCTCACTTTTTCTGTCACCTCCGTGGTCCG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1) and the reverse primer 5′-GGGTTCGAAACGGCGGCGGCGGTGGAGA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:2). The survivin promoter is then sub-cloned into the GL4.20 firefly luciferase reporter vector (Promega Corporation, Madison, Wis.). Clones are sequence-verified for orientation and integrity using a CEQ 8000 Genetic Analysis System (Beckman, Mississauga, ON, Canada). HeLa cells are transfected with survivin promoter construct alone or vector alone using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen, CA), and selected with Puromycin (4 μg/mL) (Sigma) for stable clones. Stable HeLa cells thus selected are used for testing the compound for its anticancer activity.
To determine anticancer activity, HeLa cells stably over-expressing the human survivin promoter driving firefly luciferase are treated with the compound at 5 μM for 24 hrs. The HeLa cells (15,000 cells/well) are plated in 96-well plates. After adhering to the plates, the HeLa cells are treated with the compound at 5 μM (0.05% DMSO). After 24-hr incubation, survivin promoter activity is assessed using a luciferase assay to assess the inhibition of transactivation of the survivin promoter. During the measurement, cell culture medium is removed from a 96-well plate and 1×GIo Lysis buffer (Promega) is added to the plate. After 10-min incubation, an equal volume of Bright-Glo Luciferase substrate (Promega) is added, and the luminescence signal is detected with a 96-well Luminoskan luminescence plate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) with 5-seconds integration time.
The compound that reduces luciferase expression is retested for reproducibility using the luciferase assay and is also tested for viability. Cell viability is determined using the CellTiter96 aqueous nonradioactive (MTS) assay, where propidium iodide (PI) staining is used (Biovision, Mountain view, Calif.).
The compound that is confirmed to be active in reducing luciferase expression is further evaluated as an anti-cancer agent by treating leukemia cell lines with increasing concentrations of the compound for 72 hrs. Cell viability is also measured by the MTS assay. Cell death is evaluated by detecting the presence of a subG1 peak by flow cytometry after staining cells with PI.
Results are normalized and corrected for systematic errors using the B score (Gunter, J. Biomol. Screen. 2003, 8, 624-633). The compound with a B score value lower than 3 times the standard deviation is considered to be active.
Example 3
Determination of Survivin mRNA and Protein Expression Levels in HeLa Cells
The survivin mRNA and protein expression levels in wild type HeLa cells that are treated with a compound are determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) and immunoblotting to determine its anticancer activity.
For QRT-PCR, cDNAs encoding survivin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) are amplified using the following primer pairs: survivin, forward, 5′-TTTTCATCGTCGTCCCTAGC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:3); reverse, 5′-CGACTCAGATGTGGCAGAAA-3′ (SEQ ID NO:4); and GAPDH, forward, 5′-GAAGGTGAAGGTCGGAGTC-3′′ (SEQ ID NO:5); reverse, 5′-GAAGATGGTGATGGGATTTC-3′ (SEQ ID NO:6). Equal amounts of cDNAs are added to a prepared master mix (SYBR Green PCR Master mix; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). QRT-PCR is performed on an ABI Prism 7700 sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). The relative abundance of a transcript is represented by the threshold cycle of amplification (CT), which is inversely correlated to the amount of target RNA/first-strand cDNA being amplified. To normalize for equal amounts of the latter, the transcript levels of the putative housekeeping gene GAPDH are assayed.
For immunoblotting, total cell lysates are prepared. Cells are washed with phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.4, and suspended in lysis buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 150 mM, NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, and 5 mM EDTA) containing protease inhibitors (Complete tablets; Roche, Ind.). Nuclear extracts are isolated after a cytoplasm protein extraction by incubating the cells with the cytoplasm buffer on ice for 15 min (10 mM HEPES, 10 mM KCl, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM EGTA, DTT 1 mM, NP40 0.65%, protease inhibitors, pH 7.4) and centrifugation at 4° C. for 1 min at 10,000 g. The pellet is suspended in the lysis buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 150 mM, NaCl, 0.1% Triton X-100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, SDS 1.7%, glycerol 5% and 5 mM EDTA) for 30 min and then centrifuged at 4° C. at maximum speed for 20 min. Protein concentrations are measured by the Bradford assay. Equal amounts of protein are subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gels, followed by transfer to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Membranes are probed with polyclonal rabbit anti-human survivin (1 μg/mL) (NOVUS), monoclonal mouse anti-human p53 (0.5 μg/mL), polyclonal rabbit anti-human GR (0.5 μg/mL), both from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, CA; or with mouse anti-human GADPH (Trevigen, Gaithersburg, Md.). Secondary antibodies (GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom) are horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti mouse IgG (1:10,000, v/v) and anti rabbit (1:5000, v/v). Detection is performed by the enhanced chemical luminescence method (Pierce, Rockford, Ill.).

Example 5
Mouse Xenograft Models
Mouse xenograft models are used to evaluate the in vivo anticancer activity of a compound.
Mouse xenograft models are prepared by injecting MDAY-D2 (MDAY) murine leukemia cells (5×105) intraperitoneally into NOD/SCID mice (Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, ON); or by inoculating subcutaneously in the flanks of sublethally irradiated NOD-SCID mice (3.5 Gy) with OCI-AML2 (2×106), K562 cells (2×106), MDAY-D2, or U937 leukemia cells.
Compound treatment is initiated when tumors reach volumes of 200 mm3 at which time mice are randomized to receive 50 mg/kg/day of the compound (treated group) or buffer control (untreated group) for 5 to 7 days. Caliper measurements are performed twice weekly to estimate tumor volume (tumor length×width2×0.5236) (Pham et al., Mol. Cancer Ther. 2004, 3, 1239-1248) and differences compared between treated and untreated groups. Eight (MDA Y-D2), eleven (OCI-AML2), or thirty (K562) days after injection of cells, mice are sacrificed, and the volume and weight of the tumors are measured.
Alternatively, primary AML cells are injected intrafemorally into the right femur of sublethally irradiated nude/NOD/SCID female mice. Four weeks after injection, mice are treated with a compound 5/7 days for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the mice are sacrificed, and cells are flushed from the femurs. Engraftment of human cells into the marrow is assessed by enumerating the percentage of human CD45 cells using APC-Cy7-anti-CD45 and flow cytometry. Engrafted cells are confirmed to be leukemic in origin by the presence of human CD33 and lack of CD19.

Cell Proliferation Assay and the Determination of IC50 
Adherent Cells
On day 0, cells are seeded at 20,000 cells per well in 100 μL of media into individual wells of a 96-well tissue culture plate. The next day, compounds are diluted in 100 μL of media for a total of 200 pt. Each concentration of the compounds is prepared at 1000× in DMSO (e.g., for a final concentration of 20 μM in the assay, the compounds are prepared at 20 mM in 100% DMSO). The compounds are then diluted 1:500 in media and added in the amount of 100 μL to each well for a final concentration of 1:1000 with 0.1% DMSO. Each concentration of the compounds is tested in triplicate. Cells are incubated at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After 72 hours, 20 μL of CellTiter 96 Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay (Promega) is added to each well. Cells are placed back in the incubator, and the absorbance at 490 nm is read after 2-3 hours. The concentration of the compounds that decreases the number of metabolically active cells by 50% is determined and reported as the IC50. “Percent Viability” is determined by subtracting the average background value (media only) and expressed as a ratio to the average value obtained from cells treated with only DMSO.
Suspension Cells
Assays with suspension cells are similar except that 40,000-60,000 cells are added to each well and compounds are added immediately after cell plating.
