Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to compositions and methods for administering one or more bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) to a subject for the treatment of EZH2-mediated cancer, and to methods for designing such degraders/disruptors.
  • EZH2 zeste homologue 2
  • EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is the main catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that catalyzes methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) (Cao et al., 2002; Czermin et al., 2002; Kuzmichev et al., 2002; Muller et al., 2002).
  • PRC2 polycomb repressive complex 2
  • H3K27 histone H3 lysine 27
  • H3K27me3 The trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3) is a transcriptionally repressive epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression, differentiation, and development.
  • Dysregulation of EZH2, other PRC2 components (e.g., EED and SUZ12), and/or H3K27 trimethylation have been associated with a number of cancers.
  • EZH2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, myeloma, and lymphoma.
  • High EZH2 expression correlates with poor prognosis (Bachmann et al., 2006; Bodor et al., 2011; Bracken et al., 2003; Kim and Roberts, 2016; Kleer et al., 2003; Morin et al., 2010; Sauvageau and Sauvageau, 2010; Varambally et al., 2002).
  • Hyper-trimethylation of H3K27 catalyzed by PRC2 drives tumorigenesis and progression of cancers including diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) (Majer et al., 2012; McCabe et al., 2012a; Sneeringer et al., 2010).
  • DLBCL diffused large B cell lymphoma
  • MRT malignant rhabdoid tumor
  • EZH2 inhibitors which effectively inhibit the methyltransferase activity of EZH2, display robust antiproliferative activity in DLBCL and MRT cellular and animal models (Kaniskan et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2015).
  • TNBC triple-negative breast cancer
  • ER estrogen receptor
  • PR progesterone receptor
  • HER2 human epidermal growth factor receptor 2
  • EZH2 Overexpression of EZH2 has been identified as a major driver for breast cancer development and progression (Bachmann et al., 2006; Bracken et al., 2003; Chang et al., 2011; Holm et al., 2012; Fujii et al., 2011; Gonzalez et al., 2014; Kleer et al., 2003; Mahara et al., 2016).
  • EZH2 downregulates the tumor and metastasis suppressor RKIP (Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein) (Ren et al., 2012), tumor suppressor KLF2 (Kruppel-like factor) (Taniguchi et al., 2012), forkhead box transcription factor FOXC1 (Du et al., 2012), and tumor suppressor RUNX3 (Runt-related transcription factor 3) (Fujii et al., 2008). Knockdown of EZH2 via RNA interference blocks proliferation of breast cancer cells (Fujii et al., 2008; Gonzalez et al., 2008).
  • RKIP Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein
  • the present disclosure relates generally to bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt EZH2 (“EZH2 degraders/disruptors”), and to methods for the treatment of EZH2-mediated cancers, which include, but are not limited to, cancers that overexpress EZH2 relative to wild-type tissues of the same species and tissue types, with the EZH2 degraders/disruptors.
  • EZH2 degraders/disruptors include, but are not limited to, cancers that overexpress EZH2 relative to wild-type tissues of the same species and tissue types, with the EZH2 degraders/disruptors.
  • the bivalent compounds disclosed/claimed here can be significantly more effective therapeutic agents than current EZH2 inhibitors, which inhibit the enzymatic activity of EZH2 but do not affect EZH2 protein levels.
  • the present disclosure further provides methods for identifying EZH2 degraders/disruptors as described herein.

Abstract

Methods for designing bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt EZH2 and compositions and methods of using such degraders/disruptors to treat EZH2-mediated cancer are provided.

Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • This disclosure relates to compositions and methods for administering one or more bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) to a subject for the treatment of EZH2-mediated cancer, and to methods for designing such degraders/disruptors.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) is the main catalytic subunit of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that catalyzes methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) (Cao et al., 2002; Czermin et al., 2002; Kuzmichev et al., 2002; Muller et al., 2002). The trimethylation of H3K27 (H3K27me3) is a transcriptionally repressive epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression, differentiation, and development. Dysregulation of EZH2, other PRC2 components (e.g., EED and SUZ12), and/or H3K27 trimethylation have been associated with a number of cancers. For example, EZH2 is overexpressed in a broad spectrum of cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, myeloma, and lymphoma. High EZH2 expression correlates with poor prognosis (Bachmann et al., 2006; Bodor et al., 2011; Bracken et al., 2003; Kim and Roberts, 2016; Kleer et al., 2003; Morin et al., 2010; Sauvageau and Sauvageau, 2010; Varambally et al., 2002). Hyper-trimethylation of H3K27 catalyzed by PRC2 drives tumorigenesis and progression of cancers including diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) (Majer et al., 2012; McCabe et al., 2012a; Sneeringer et al., 2010). Thus, pharmacological inhibition of EZH2 has been pursued as a targeted therapy for treating these cancers. In fact, EZH2 inhibitors, which effectively inhibit the methyltransferase activity of EZH2, display robust antiproliferative activity in DLBCL and MRT cellular and animal models (Kaniskan et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2015). A number of EZH2 inhibitors including UNC1999, an orally bioavailable inhibitor developed by the inventors of the present application, have been reported (Bradley et al., 2014; Brooun et al., 2016; Campbell et al., 2015; Gao et al., 2016; Garapaty-Rao et al., 2013; Gehling et al., 2015; Kaniskan et al., 2017; Knutson et al., 2013; Knutson et al., 2012; Konze et al., 2013; Kung et al., 2016; McCabe et al., 2012b; Qi et al., 2012; Song et al., 2016; Verma et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2016). Among them, EPZ-6438, GSK126, CPI-1205, and PF-06821497 have entered Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of several subtypes of lymphoma and MRT.
  • Breast cancer (BC) has the highest incidence rate (43.3/100,000) and is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women (14.9%) in North America (Stewart and Wild, 2014). Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subtype of BC that lacks estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), represents ˜12-20% of all BCs. TNBC has poor prognosis, high recurrence, and a low survival rate (Lin et al., 2012). Currently, there are no effective therapies for treating a substantial portion of TNBC patients, highlighting an unmet medical need (Gluz et al., 2009).
  • Overexpression of EZH2 has been identified as a major driver for breast cancer development and progression (Bachmann et al., 2006; Bracken et al., 2003; Chang et al., 2011; Holm et al., 2012; Fujii et al., 2011; Gonzalez et al., 2014; Kleer et al., 2003; Mahara et al., 2016). It has been shown that EZH2 downregulates the tumor and metastasis suppressor RKIP (Raf-1 kinase inhibitor protein) (Ren et al., 2012), tumor suppressor KLF2 (Kruppel-like factor) (Taniguchi et al., 2012), forkhead box transcription factor FOXC1 (Du et al., 2012), and tumor suppressor RUNX3 (Runt-related transcription factor 3) (Fujii et al., 2008). Knockdown of EZH2 via RNA interference blocks proliferation of breast cancer cells (Fujii et al., 2008; Gonzalez et al., 2008). However, current EZH2 inhibitors, which do not affect EZH2 protein levels, are ineffective at inhibiting growth of breast cancer cells with EZH2 overexpression even though they effectively inhibit the enzymatic activity of EZH2. Therefore, overexpression of EZH2, but not the catalytic activity of EZH2/PRC2, is critical for breast cancer progression.
    • SUMMARY
  • The present disclosure relates generally to bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt EZH2 (“EZH2 degraders/disruptors”), and to methods for the treatment of EZH2-mediated cancers, which include, but are not limited to, cancers that overexpress EZH2 relative to wild-type tissues of the same species and tissue types, with the EZH2 degraders/disruptors. Without wishing to be bound by theory, because the EZH2 degraders/disruptors disclosed herein have dual functions (enzyme inhibition plus protein degradation/disruption), the bivalent compounds disclosed/claimed here can be significantly more effective therapeutic agents than current EZH2 inhibitors, which inhibit the enzymatic activity of EZH2 but do not affect EZH2 protein levels. The present disclosure further provides methods for identifying EZH2 degraders/disruptors as described herein.
  • More specifically, the document provides a bivalent compound including an EZH2 ligand conjugated to a degradation/disruption tag. The EZH2 ligand can be an EZH2 inhibitor. The EZH2 ligand can, for example, include UNC1999, EPZ005687, EPZ-6438, GSK126, EI1, CPI-1205, GSK343, CPI-360, EPZ011989, N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-1-isopropyl-6-(6-(4-isopropylpiperazin-1-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-1H-indazole-4-carboxamide (“compound 24”) (see, e.g., Yang et al., 2016), 3-chloro-4-(2-cyano-3-(pyridazin-4-yl)phenoxy)-N-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)benzamide (“compound 3”) (see, e.g., Garapaty-Rao et al., 2013), 5,8-dichloro-2-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methyl)-7-(3,5-dimethylisoxazol-4-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (“compound 31”) (see, e.g., Kung et al., 2016), ZLD1039, PF-06821497, and JQEZ5, and analogs thereof. The degradation/disruption tag can bind to a ubiquitin ligase (e.g., an E3 ligase such as a cereblon E3 ligase or a VHL E3 ligase) and/or mimic EZH2 protein misfolding. The degradation/disruption tag can include a bulky and/or hydrophobic group. The degradation/disruption tag can, for example, include adamantane, 1-((4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl)nonane, pomalidomide, thalidomide, lenalidomide, VHL-1, and analogs thereof.
  • In any of the above-described bivalent compounds, an EZH2 ligand can be conjugated to a degradation/disruption tag through a linker. The linker can, for example, include an acyclic or cyclic saturated or unsaturated carbon, ethylene glycol, amide, amino, ether, or carbonyl containing group. The linker can, for example, include one or more of Formulas I-XIV:

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The present disclosure is based, in part, on the discovery that novel bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt EZH2 (“EZH2 degraders/disruptors”) are useful in the treatment of EZH2-mediated cancers, including but not limited to TNBC. As discussed in the following examples, this disclosure provides specific examples of novel EZH2 degraders/disruptors. The effect of exemplary degraders/disruptors on the proliferation of different tumor cell lines was examined. The effect of exemplary degraders/disruptors on EZH2 and H3K27me3 protein levels and the enzymatic activity of the PRC2-EZH2 complex were also evaluated. This novel therapeutic approach can be beneficial, particularly since the standard of care for TNBC is primarily chemotherapy and radiation. In addition, without wishing to be bound by theory, because the EZH2 degraders/disruptors disclosed herein have dual functions (enzyme inhibition plus protein degradation/disruption), they can be significantly more effective than current EZH2 inhibitors, which inhibit the enzymatic activity of EZH2 but do not affect EZH2 protein levels, for treating other EZH2-mediated cancers.

Some of these inhibitors (e.g., EPZ-6438, GSK126, CPI-1205, and PF-06821497) have been in clinical trials for treating diffused large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT). However, these inhibitors have exhibited very limited success in treating breast cancers and prostate cancers mainly because these compounds only inhibit the methyltransferase activity of EZH2, but do not change EZH2 protein levels. Representative examples of selective EZH2 inhibitors are provided below.

    • Representative Small-Molecule EZH2 Inhibitors
  • As described earlier, known EZH2 inhibitors (Bradley et al., 2014; Brooun et al., 2016; Campbell et al., 2015; Gao et al., 2016; Garapaty-Rao et al., 2013; Gehling et al., 2015; Kaniskan et al., 2017; Knutson et al., 2013; Knutson et al., 2012; Konze et al., 2013; Kung et al., 2016; McCabe et al., 2012b; Qi et al., 2012; Song et al., 2016; Verma et al., 2012; Yang et al., 2016) inhibit the catalytic activity of the PRC2-EZH2, but do not change EZH2 protein levels. Here, a different approach was taken: an EZH2 ligand or targeting moiety (e.g., an EZH2 inhibitor such as UNC1999 or compound 24) was linked with a ubiquitin ligase (e.g., an E3 ligase)-binding moiety (e.g., thalidomide or VHL-1) or a hydrophobic group (e.g., adamantane) to generate bivalent compounds. These bivalent inhibitors (EZH2 degraders/disruptors) recruit the ubiquitination machinery to EZH2, leading to selective degradation of EZH2 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and/or mimic EZH2 protein misfolding and subsequent degradation at the proteasome or loss of function. Therefore, these degraders/disruptors can be effective therapeutic agents for treating breast cancers (including TNBC), prostate cancers, and other cancers while current EZH2 inhibitors are ineffective. In addition, these EZH2 degraders/disruptors can be more effective than EZH2 inhibitors for the treatment of those EZH2-mediated cancers where EZH2 inhibitors are effective, including, e.g., DLBCB, FL, and MRT.
  • Accordingly, in some aspects, the present disclosure provides bivalent compounds, referred to herein as “EZH2 degraders/disruptors”, comprising an enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) ligand (or targeting moiety) conjugated to a degradation/disruption tag. Linkage of the EZH2 ligand to the degradation/disruption tag can be direct, or indirect via a linker.
  • As used herein, the term “enhancer of zeste homologue 2 ligand” or “EZH2 ligand” refers to compound that associates and/or binds to EZH2. The EZH2 ligand can be, e.g., a small-molecule compound (i.e., a molecule of molecular weight less than about 1.5 kilodaltons (kDa)), a peptide, or an antibody or fragment thereof which is capable of binding to EZH2 and/or interfering with the methyltransferase enzymatic activity of EZH2.
  • The EZH2 ligand can be an EZH2 inhibitor, which is capable of interfering with the methyltransferase enzymatic activity of EZH2. As used herein, an “inhibitor” refers to an agent that restrains, retards, or otherwise causes inhibition of a physiological, chemical or enzymatic action or function. An inhibitor may cause at least 5% decrease in enzyme activity. An inhibitor may also refer to a drug, compound or agent that prevents or reduces the expression, transcription or translation of a gene or protein. An inhibitor may reduce or prevent the function of a protein, for instance by binding to and/or activating/inactivating another protein or receptor. In some aspects, the EZH2 inhibitors of the present disclosure include, for example, UNC1999, EPZ005687, EPZ-6438, GSK126, EI1, CPI-1205, GSK343, CPI-360, EPZ011989, compound 24, compound 3, compound 31, ZLD1039, PF-06821497, JQEZ5, and analogs thereof.
  • As used herein, the term “degradation/disruption tag” refers to a moiety, which associates with/binds to a ubiquitin ligase for recruitment of the corresponding ubiquitination machinery to the EHZ2/PRC2 complex, or mimics EZH2 protein misfolding and subsequent degradation at the proteasome or loss of function. One or more degradation/disruption tags can be introduced to the solvent-exposed portion of an EZH2 ligand to create EZH2 degraders/disruptors. Exemplary structures of EZH2 degraders/disruptors containing such tags are illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
  • For example, a docking model of UNC1999 and its close analogs in PRC2 crystal structures (Brooun et al., 2016; Jiao and Liu, 2015; Justin et al., 2016) shows that two regions of UNC1999 and its analogs are solvent-exposed, thus presenting suitable handles to introduce a degradation/disruption tag without interfering with the inhibitors' ability to bind to EZH2. These regions are the piperazine portion (marked in red in FIGS. 1-3) and isopropyl group (marked in blue in FIGS. 1-3). Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies showed that modifying these two portions resulted in negligible effects on the molecule's potency towards EZH2 (Konze et al., 2013; Yang et al., 2016).
  • In some aspects, the degradation/disruption tags of the present disclosure include, for example, immunomodulatory drugs (e.g., thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide), VHL-1, bulky hydrophobic groups (e.g., adamantane and 1-((4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl)nonane), and their analogs. Immunomodulatory drugs such as thalidomide and pomalidomide (structures shown in FIG. 1) bind cereblon (CRBN or CRL4CRBN), a component of a cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Chamberlain et al., 2014; Fischer et al., 2014; Ito et al., 2010; Winter et al., 2015). VHL-1 (structure shown in FIG. 2), a hydroxyproline-containing ligand, binds van Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL or CRL2VHL), a component of another CRL complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Buckley et al., 2012a; Buckley et al., 2012b; Galdeano et al., 2014; Zengerle et al., 2015). Bulky hydrophobic groups (e.g., adamantane) mimic protein misfolding, leading to the degradation of the target protein by proteasome (Buckley and Crews, 2014).
  • As used herein, a “linker” is a bond, molecule or group of molecules that binds (i.e., bridges) two separate entities to one another. A Linker can provide for optimal spacing of the two entities. The term “linker” in some aspects refers to any agent or molecule that bridges the EZH2 ligand to the degradation/disruption tag. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that sites on the EZH2 ligand and/or the degradation/disruption tag, which are not necessary for the function of the bivalent compound of the present disclosures, are ideal sites for attaching a linker, provided that the linker, once attached to the conjugate of the present disclosures, does not interfere with the function of the bivalent compound, i.e., the ability to target EZH2 and recruit a ubiquitin ligase or mimic protein misfolding. The length of the linker can be adjusted to minimize the molecular weight of the degrader/disruptor, avoid any steric interference of EZH2 with the E3 ligase, and/or enhance mimicry of EZH2 protein misfolding by the hydrophobic tag at the same time.
  • Exemplary linkers include, but are not limited to, the linkers of Formulas I-XIV below:

    Figure US20190255041A1-20190822-C00009
  • In some aspects, the EZH2 degraders/disruptors have the form “X-linker-Y”, as shown below:
  • Figure US20190255041A1-20190822-C00010
  • wherein X comprises a degradation/disruption tag (e.g., adamantane) and Y comprises an EZH2 ligand (e.g., an EZH2 inhibitor). Exemplary degradation/disruption tags (X) and exemplary EZH2 ligands (Y) are described above and are also illustrated below:

Additional EZH2 degraders/disruptors can also be developed using the principles and methods disclosed herein. For example, other linkers, other degradation/disruptor tags, and/or other EZH2 ligands can be synthesized and tested. Some exemplary compounds are shown in the Figures following Table 1.

    • Example 113: Proliferation Assays
  • 1-3×103 cells were seeded in 96-well plates in duplicates and treated at the indicated compound concentrations. Cells were monitored using the IncuCyte live cell imaging system (Essen BioScience™, Ann Arbor, Mich.) which was placed in a cell culture incubator operated at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Cell confluence was determined using calculations derived from phase-contrast images. The concentration for 50% of maximal inhibition of cell proliferation (GI50) values were determined by fitting to a standard four-parameter logistic using GraphPad PrismR v5. Results are provided in Tables 2 and 3. Graphs depicting the GI50s of select EZH2 degraders/disruptors described here for various cancer cell lines are shown in FIGS. 4-49.

    • Example 114: Western Blot Assays
  • Approximately 1×104 cells were plated into 6-well plates and treated with compound at indicated concentration and for the indicated time. Protein lysates were prepared using Laemmli buffer and the concentration of protein lysates were determined using Bradford assay. An average of 10-20 μg of protein per sample were analyzed on a 4-20% tris-glycine polyacrylamide gel or a NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris protein gel. EZH2 (Cell Signaling® #5246), H3K27me3 (Millipore™ #07-449), Vinculin (Sigma® #V9131), H3 (Cell Signaling® #4499S) or 1-actin (Sigma® #A4700) primary antibodies were used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Cellular EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels in MCF-7 cells treated with XY019-43 or UNC1999 (negative control) at 1 μM are shown in FIG. 50. Cellular EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels in MDA-MB-468 cells treated with XY019-43, AM19-182A, AM29-177, or UNC1999 (negative control) at various concentrations for various time points are shown in FIGS. 51-53. In addition, cellular EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels in HCC1187 cells treated with 1 μM AM16-10A or UNC1999 (negative control) for various time points are shown in FIG. 54.
    • Example 115: Biochemical Assays
  • Methyltransferase activity assays were performed by monitoring the incorporation of tritiumlabeled methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (3H-SAM) to biotinylated peptide substrates using Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA) for EZH2/PRC2 5-component complex. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO to a stock concentration of 10 mM. Compounds were tested in a 10-dose IC50 mode with 3-fold serial dilution, in duplicate, at 10 μM. Reactions were carried out at 1 μM SAM and 5 μM Histone H3. Results for AM16-10A, XY019-43 and AM16-101A are shown in FIGS. 55-57.
