  • PPIases peptidyl-prolyl cis-frans isomerases
  • rotamases a family of ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the cis/trans isomerization ofthe peptide bond on the N-terminal side of proline residues in proteins (Hunter, Cell 92:141-142, 1998).
  • PPIases are divided into three classes, cyclophilins (Cyps), FK-506 binding proteins (FKBPs) and the Pinl/parvulin class.
  • Cyclophilins and FKBPs are distinguished by their ability to bind the clinically immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin and FK506, respectively (Schreiber, Science 251:283-7, 1991; Hunter, supra). Upon binding of these drugs, there are two common outcomes: inhibition ofthe PPIase activity and inhibition ofthe common target calcineurin.
  • the inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity prevents lymphocytes from responding to antigen-induced mitogenic signals, thus resulting in i munusuppression.
  • the inhibition ofthe PPIase activity is apparently unrelated to the immunosuppressive property ofthe drug PPIase complexes.
  • Pinl is a highly conserved protein that catalyzes the isomerization of only phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro bonds (Rananathan, R. et al. (1997) Cell 89:875-86; Yaffe, et al. 1997, Science 278:1957-1960; Shen, et al. 1998,Genes Dev.
  • Pinl contains an N-terminal WW domain, which functions as a phosphorylated Ser/Thre-Pro binding module (Sudol, M. (1996) Prog. Biophys. Mol. Biol. 65:113-32).
  • This phosphorylation-dependent interaction targets Pinl to a subset of phosphorylated substrates, including Cdc25, Wee 1, Mytl, Tau-Rad4, and the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II large domain (Crenshaw, D.G., et al. (1998) Embo. J. 17:1315-27; Shen, M. (1998) Genes Dev. 12:706-20; Wells, NJ. (1999) J. Cell. Sci. 112: 3861-71).
  • Pinl activity is essential for cell growth; depletion or mutations of Pinl cause growth arrest, affect cell cycle checkpoints and induce premature mitotic entry, mitotic arrest and apoptosis in human tumor cells, yeast or Xenopus extracts (Lu, et al. 1996, Nature 380:544-547; Winkler, et al. 200, Science 287:1644-1647; Hani, et al. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274:108-116).
  • Pinl is dramatically misexpressed in human cancer samples and the total level or concentration of Pinl are correlated with the aggressiveness of tumors.
  • Pinl antisense polynucleotides or genetic depletion kills human and yeast dividing cells by inducing premature mitotic entry and apoptosis.
  • Pinl -catalyzed prolyl isomerization regulates the conformation and function of these phosphoprotein substrates and facilitates dephosphorylation because of the conformational specificity of some phosphatases.
  • Pinl-dependent peptide bond isomerization is a critical post-phosphorylation regulatory mechanism, allowing cells to turn phosphoprotein function on or off with high efficiency and specificity during temporally regulated events, including the cell cycle (Lu et al., supra).
  • the invention is directed to modulators of Pinl and Pinl- related proteins and the use of such modulators for treatment of Pinl associated states, e.g., for the treatment of cancer or neurodegenerative diseases.

Therefore, cyclin DI underexpression includes the expression of cyclin DI at levels that are abnormally low for the particular cell cycle phase ofthe cell. Cyclin DI underexpression can manifest itself as a Pinl -associated state.

In actively proliferating normal cells, cyclin DI reaches a peak in mid G t phase, decreases during S-phase, and remains low throughout the rest ofthe cycle.

Therefore, cyclin DI overexpression includes the expression of cyclin DI at levels that are abnormally high for the particular cell cycle phase ofthe cell.
  • Cyclin DI overexpression can manifest itself as tumor growth or cancer.
  • One skilled in the art would recognize that studies have been done measuring the level cyclin DI expression in normal cells and cells having a cancerous state. Increased cyclin DI expression has been found in a vast range of primary human tumors. Increased cyclin DI expression has been detected in the form of gene amplification, increased cyclin DI RNA expression, and increased cyclin DI protein expression. Most clinical studies comparing cyclin DI gene amplification with expression of cyclin DI have found that more cases show over-expression of both RNA and protein than show amplification ofthe gene. The presence of increased cyclin DI RNA and/or protein expression without gene amplification suggests that other cellular genes such as pRb may affect the expression cyclin DI.
  • Human tumors found to have increased cyclin DI expression include: parathyroid adenomas, mantle cell lymphomas, breast cancers, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (i.e. squamous carcinomas in the oral cavity, nasopharynx, pharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx), esophageal cancers, hepatocellular carcinomas, colorectal cancers, genitourinary cancers, lung cancers (i.e. squamous cell carcinomas ofthe lung), skins cancers (i.e.

Pathol. 156(5):1505-13; and Janssen, et al. 2000. Blood 95(8):2691-8. It is believed that in many tumors, cyclin DI acts in co-operation with other oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes.
  • Cyclin DI expression is regulated by many factors. Growth factors (i.e. CSF1, platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, steroid hormones, prolactin, and serum stimulation) promote the synthesis of cyclin DI and removal of growth factors will lead to a drop in cyclin DI levels and arrest the cell in G t phase. Hosokawa, et al. 1996. J. Lab. Clin. Med. 127:246-52. In addition, hypophosphorylated pRb stimulates cyclin DI transcription, while cyclin DI activity is inhibited by transforming growth factor ⁇ -l, p53, and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs).

  • Cyclin DI is believed to act through the phosphorylation of pRB.
  • pRB is hypophosphorylated throughout the Gi phase, phosphorylated just before the S phase, and remains phosphorylated until late mitosis.
  • Hypophosphorylated pRB arrests cells in Gi by forming a complex with the E2F family of DNA binding proteins, which are transcription factors that transcribe genes associated with DNA replication (the S phase ofthe cell cycle).
  • Cyclin DI can form a complex with either cdk4 or cdk6 to form activated cdk4 or cdk6.
  • Activated cdk4 or cdk6 induces the phosphorylation of pRb changing pRb from its hypophosphorylated form in which it binds to and inactivates E2F - transcription factors to phosphorylated pRb which no longer binds to and inactivates , E2F transcription factors, h some mouse lymphoma cells overexpressing D cyclins, pRb is hyperphosphorylated compared with pRb in cells not overexpressing D cyclins.
  • Neoplasma or “neoplastic transformation” is the pathologic process that results in the formation and growth of a neoplasm, tissue mass, or tumor. Such process includes uncontrolled cell growth, including either benign or malignant tumors. Neoplasms include abnormal masses of tissue, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that ofthe normal tissues and persists in the same excessive manner after cessation ofthe stimuli that evoked the change. Neoplasms may show a partial or complete lack of structural organization and functional coordination with the normal tissue, and usually form a distinct mass of tissue.
  • Neoplasms tend to grow and function somewhat independently ofthe homeostatic mechanisms that control normal tissue growth and function. However, some neoplasms remain under the control ofthe homeostatic mechanisms that control normal tissue growth and function. For example, some neoplasms are estrogen sensitive and can be arrested by anti-estrogen therapy. Neoplasms can range in size from less than 1 cm to over 6 inches in diameter. A neoplasm even 1 cm in diameter can cause biliary obstructions and jaundice, if it arises in and obstructs the ampulla of Vater. Neoplasms tend to morphologically and functionally resemble the tissue from which they originated.

  • neoplasm By assessing the histology and other features of a neoplasm, it can be determined whether the neoplasm is benign or malignant. Invasion and metastasis (the spread ofthe neoplasm to distant sites) are definitive attributes of malignancy. Despite the fact that benign neoplasms may attain enormous size, they remain discrete and distinct from the adjacent non-neoplastic tissue. Benign tumors are generally well circumscribed and round, have a capsule, and have a grey or white color, and a uniform texture. In contrast, malignant tumors generally have fingerlike projections, irregular margins, are not circumscribed, and have a variable color and texture. Benign tumors grow by pushing on adjacent tissue as they grow.
  • the benign tumor enlarges it compresses adjacent tissue, sometimes causing atrophy.
  • the junction between a benign rumor and surrounding tissue may be converted to a fibrous connective tissue capsule allowing for easy surgical removal ofthe benign tumor.
  • malignant tumors are locally invasive and grow into the adjacent tissues usually giving rise to irregular margins that are not encapsulated making it necessary to remove a wide margin of normal tissue for the surgical removal of malignant tumors.
  • Benign neoplasms tend to grow more slowly and tend to be less autonomous than malignant tumors. Benign neoplasms tend to closely histologically resemble the tissue from which they originated.
  • cancers More highly differentiated cancers, i.e., cancers that resemble the tissue from which they originated, tend to have a better prognosis than poorly differentiated cancers, while malignant tumors are more likely than benign tumors to have an aberrant function, e.g., the secretion of abnormal or excessive quantities of hormones.
  • the histological features of cancer are summarized by the term "anaplasia.” Malignant neoplasms often contain numerous mitotic cells. These cells are typically abnormal.

Background of the Invention The peptidyl-prolyl cis-frans isomerases (PPIases), or rotamases, are a family of ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the cis/trans isomerization ofthe peptide bond on the N-terminal side of proline residues in proteins (Hunter, Cell 92:141-142, 1998). PPIases are divided into three classes, cyclophilins (Cyps), FK-506 binding proteins (FKBPs) and the Pinl/parvulin class. Cyclophilins and FKBPs are distinguished by their ability to bind the clinically immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin and FK506, respectively (Schreiber, Science 251:283-7, 1991; Hunter, supra). Upon binding of these drugs, there are two common outcomes: inhibition ofthe PPIase activity and inhibition ofthe common target calcineurin. The inhibition of calcineurin phosphatase activity prevents lymphocytes from responding to antigen-induced mitogenic signals, thus resulting in i munusuppression. However, the inhibition ofthe PPIase activity is apparently unrelated to the immunosuppressive property ofthe drug PPIase complexes. Even more surprisingly, deletion of all 8 known cyclophilins and 4 FKBPs in the same cells does not result in any significant phenotype (Dolinski et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 94:13093-131098, 1997). In contrast, members ofthe Pinl/parvulin class of PPIases bind neither of these immunosuppressive drugs, and are structurally unrelated to the other two classes of PPIases. Known members ofthe Pinl/parvulin class include Pinsl-3 (Lu et al., Nature 380;544-547, 1996), Pin-L (Campbell et al., Genomics 44: 157- 162, 1997), parvulin
(Rahfeld, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93:447-451, 1996) and Essl/Pftl (Hanes et al., Yeast 5:55-72, 1989; and Hani, et al. FEBS Letts 365:198-202, 1995). Pinl is a highly conserved protein that catalyzes the isomerization of only phosphorylated Ser/Thr-Pro bonds (Rananathan, R. et al. (1997) Cell 89:875-86; Yaffe, et al. 1997, Science 278:1957-1960; Shen, et al. 1998,Genes Dev. 12:706-720; Lu, et al. 1999, Science 283:1325-1328; Crenshaw, et al. 1998, Embo J. 17:1315-1327; Lu, et al. 1999, Nature 399:784-788; Zhou, et al. 1999, Cell Mol. Life Sci. 56:788-806). In addition, Pinl contains an N-terminal WW domain, which functions as a phosphorylated Ser/Thre-Pro binding module (Sudol, M. (1996) Prog. Biophys. Mol. Biol. 65:113-32). This phosphorylation-dependent interaction targets Pinl to a subset of phosphorylated substrates, including Cdc25, Wee 1, Mytl, Tau-Rad4, and the C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II large domain (Crenshaw, D.G., et al. (1998) Embo. J. 17:1315-27; Shen, M. (1998) Genes Dev. 12:706-20; Wells, NJ. (1999) J. Cell. Sci. 112: 3861-71). The specificity of Pinl activity is essential for cell growth; depletion or mutations of Pinl cause growth arrest, affect cell cycle checkpoints and induce premature mitotic entry, mitotic arrest and apoptosis in human tumor cells, yeast or Xenopus extracts (Lu, et al. 1996, Nature 380:544-547; Winkler, et al. 200, Science 287:1644-1647; Hani, et al. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274:108-116). In addition, Pinl is dramatically misexpressed in human cancer samples and the total level or concentration of Pinl are correlated with the aggressiveness of tumors. Moreover, inhibition of Pinl by various approaches, including Pinl antisense polynucleotides or genetic depletion, kills human and yeast dividing cells by inducing premature mitotic entry and apoptosis. Thus, Pinl -catalyzed prolyl isomerization regulates the conformation and function of these phosphoprotein substrates and facilitates dephosphorylation because of the conformational specificity of some phosphatases. Thus, Pinl-dependent peptide bond isomerization is a critical post-phosphorylation regulatory mechanism, allowing cells to turn phosphoprotein function on or off with high efficiency and specificity during temporally regulated events, including the cell cycle (Lu et al., supra).
Summary of the Invention A need exists for new diagnostic and therapeutic compounds for diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation and primarily malignancies associated with the Pin-1 subfamily of enzymes. Accordingly, the invention is directed to modulators of Pinl and Pinl- related proteins and the use of such modulators for treatment of Pinl associated states, e.g., for the treatment of cancer or neurodegenerative diseases. In one embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to a method for treating a Pinl -associated state in a subject. The method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a Pinl -modulating compound of formula (Ig):

For example, formulations ofthe invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets and lozenges. The term "Pinl -associated state" or "Pinl associated disorder" includes disorders and states (e.g., a disease state) that are associated with the misexpression or misregulation of Pinl. This misexpression or misregulation can be as a result ofthe altered production, degradation, or regulation of Pinl, e.g., the phosphorylation/ dephosphorylation of Pinl. Without wishing to be bound by theory, Pinl associated disorders that are related to higher than necessary levels of Pinl can be caused by (1) an increase in the level of transcription or translation, or a decrease in the level of degradation of Pinl, such that an abnormally high amount of Pinl polypeptide is present in a cell, or (2) the amount Pinl that is present in the unphosphorylated, i.e., active form, is abnormally high due to either an increase in the dephosphorylation of Pinl or a decrease in the phosphorylation of Pinl. Pinl disorders are often associated with abnormal cell growth, abnormal cell proliferation, or misexpression of Pinl (e.g., Pinl protein or nucleic acid). Pinl -associated states include states resulting from an elevation in the expression of cyclin DI and/or Pinl. Pinl -associated states also include states resulting from an elevation in the phosphorylation level of c- Jun, particularly phosphorylation of c- Jun on Ser63 73-Pro, and/or from an elevation in the level of c- Jun amino terminal kinases (JNKs) present in a cell. Pinl -associated states include neoplasia, cancer, undesirable cell growth, and/or tumor growth. Pinl -associated states include states caused by DNA damage, an oncogenic protein (i.e. Ha-Ras), loss of or reduced expression of a tumor suppressor (i.e. Brcal), and/or growth factors. Pinl- associated state is also intended to include diseases or disorders caused by, or associated with, deregulation of genes and/or gene products involved in a biological pathway that includes Pinl and/or cyclin DI (e.g. beta-catenin, APC or WNT). hi fact, beta-catenin, APC and WNT have been linked to cancer development as demonstrated in Biochim Biophys Acta. (2003) 1653: 1-24 and Eur J Surg Oncol. (2003) 29: 107-117. Pinl associated states further include disorders and states associated with regulation or activity of Pinl in the brain, e.g., neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, wherein the phosphorylation state of tau is influenced by the activity of Pinl. The terms "misexpression" and "misregulation" are used interchangeably herein. These terms are intended to include non- wild type pattern of gene expression or regulation. Expression and regulation, as used herein, include transcriptional, post transcriptional, e.g., mRNA stability, translational, and post translational stages. Misexpression includes: expression at non-wild type levels, i.e., over or under expression; a pattern of expression that differs from wild type in terms ofthe time or stage at which the gene is expressed, e.g., increased or decreased expression (as compared with wild type) at a predetermined developmental period or stage; a pattern of expression that differs from wild type in terms of decreased expression (as compared with wild type) in a predetermined cell type or tissue type; a pattern of expression that differs from wild type in terms ofthe splicing size, amino acid sequence, post- transitional modification, or biological activity ofthe expressed polypeptide; a pattern of expression that differs from wild type in terms ofthe effect of an environmental stimulus or extracellular stimulus on expression of the gene, e.g. , a pattern of increased or decreased expression (as compared with wild type) in the presence of an increase or decrease in the strength ofthe stimulus. Misexpression includes any expression from a transgenic nucleic acid. Misexpression includes the lack or non-expression of a gene or transgene, e.g. , that can be induced by a deletion of all or part of the gene or its confrol sequences. Misregulation can include aberrant levels of phosphorylation ofthe enzyme. Pinl is an important regulator of cyclin DI expression. Because of Pinl's role in regulating the expression of cyclin DI, many ofthe tumor causing effects of cyclin DI can be regulated tlirough Pinl. In particular, modulators of Pinl can be used to modulate or regulate cyclin DI (i.e., or the expression thereof), and the resulting effects of cyclin DI over- or under-expression. Moreover, inhibitors of Pinl can be used to freat, inhibit, and/or prevent undesirable cell growth, neoplasia, and/or cancer in any subject but particularly in humans. Other examples of Pinl associated states include, but are not limited to, for example, those tumor types disclosed in Table 10. The term "treated," "treating" or "treatment" includes the diminishment or alleviation of at least one symptom associated or caused by the state, disorder or disease being freated. In certain embodiments, the freatment comprises the induction of a Pinl inhibited state, followed by the activation ofthe Pinl modulating compound, which would in turn diminish or alleviate at least one symptom associated or caused by the Pinl associated state, disorder or disease being freated. For example, treatment can be diminishment of one or several symptoms of a disorder or complete eradication of a disorder. The term "subject" is intended to include organisms, e.g., prokaryotes and eukaryotes, which are capable of suffering from or afflicted with a Pinl associated disorder. Examples of subjects include mammals, e.g., humans, dogs, cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, cats, mice, rabbits, rats, and transgenic non-human animals. In certain embodiments, the subject is a human, e.g., a human suffering from, at risk of suffering from, or potentially capable of suffering from a Pinl associated disorder. The language "Pinl modulating compound" refers to compounds that modulate, e.g., inhibit, promote, or otherwise alter, the activity of Pinl. Pinl modulating compounds include both Pinl agonists and antagonists, hi certain embodiments, the Pinl modulating compound induces a Pinl inhibited-state. Examples of Pinl modulating compounds include compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ila), formula (III), formula (Ilia), formula (IV), formula (INa), formula (N), formula (VI), formula (VII), formula (VIII), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XT), formula (XLT), formula (XILT) and formula (XIN). Additional examples of Pinl modulating compounds include compounds of Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8 or derivatives thereof. In certain embodiments, the Pinl modulating compounds include compounds that interact with the PPI and/or the WW domain of Pinl. In certain embodiments, the Pinl modulating compound is substantially specific to Pinl. The phrase "substantially specific for Pinl" is intended to include inhibitors ofthe invention that have a Kj or K that is at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 20 times less than the Kj or Kd for other peptidyl prolyl isomerases, e.g., hCyP-A, hCyP- B, hCyP-C, ΝKCA, hFKBP-12, hFKBP-13, and hFKBP-25. The Pinl polypeptide can be phosphorylated or unphosphorylated. Pinl activity is known to be controlled by a phosphorylation mechanism (Lu et al. (1999) Science 283:1325-8). The modulators ofthe invention can be designed to specifically interact with either form of Pinl. Conversely, a Pinl modulator may be capable of interacting with either the phosphorylated or unphosphorylated form ofthe polypeptide. In one embodiment ofthe invention, the Pinl modulating compound of the invention is capable of chemically interacting with Cysll3 of Pinl. The language "chemical interaction" is intended to include, but is not limited to reversible interactions such as hydrophobic/hydrophilic, ionic (e.g., coulombic attraction/repulsion, ion-dipole, charge-transfer), covalent bonding, Van der Waals, and hydrogen bonding. In certain embodiments, the chemical interaction is a reversible Michael addition. In a specific embodiment, the Michael addition involves, at least in part, the formation of a covalent bond. Additionally, the method includes adnήnistering to a subject an effective amount of a Pinl modulating compound of the invention, e.g. , Pinl -modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (IT), formula (Ila), formula (HT), formula (Ilia), formula (IN), formula (INa), formula (N), formula (VI), formula (VII), formula (VIII), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII), formula (XIII) and formula (XIN) that have been modified in order to decrease the ability ofthe compound to cross the blood-brain barrier. The language "Pinl inhibiting compound" includes compounds that reduce or inhibit the activity of Pinl. Examples of Pinl inhibiting compounds include compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ha), formula (LU), formula (ffla), formula (IN), formula (INa), formula (N), formula (VI), formula (Nil), formula (NIII), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII), formula (XIII) and formula (XIN). Additional examples of Pinl inhibiting compounds include compounds of Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, Table 4, Table 5, Table 6, Table 7, Table 8 or derivatives thereof. In certain embodiments, the Pinl inhibiting compounds include compounds that interact with the PPI and/or the WW domain of Pinl . In certain embodiments the inhibitors have a Kj for Pinl of less than
0.2mM, less than O.lmM, less than 750 μM, less than 500 μM, less than 250 μM, less than 100 μM, less than 50 μM, less than 500 nM, less than 250nM, less than 50 nM, less than 10 nM, less than 5 nM, or or less than 2 nM. The language "Pinl inhibited-state" is intended to include states in which one activity of Pinl is inhibited in cells, e.g., cells in a subject, that have been treated with a Pinl modulating compound. "Pinl inbited-state" is also intended to include states wherein the Pinl modulating compound is administered to a subject, allowed to remain in a preactivated state, and subsequently activated by a stimulus. The stimulus may be selected from a natural event, artificial event, or the combination thereof. For example, the natural event may be the action of an enzyme and/or the artificial event may be the addition of a hypeφlastic inhibitory agent or the addition of energy to the subjects system in any manner that achieves activation, e.g., by radiation, e.g., by light with a wavelength greater than about 400 nm, e.g., greater than about 600 nm, e.g., greater than about 620 nm, e.g., greater than about 630 nm, e.g., greater than about 640 nm, e.g., greater than about 650 nm. In one embodiment, the cells enter a Pinl inhibited-state for a designated period of time prior to activation ofthe modulating compound sufficient to allow the modulation the activity of Pinl by the activated modulating compound. In certain embodiments ofthe invention, the designated period of time prior to activation is greater than about 1 hour, e.g., greater than about 2 hours, e.g., greater than about 3 hours, e.g., greater than about 6 hours, e.g., greater than about 12 hours, e.g., greater than about 24 hours, e.g., greater than about 36 hours, e.g., greater than about 48 hours, e.g., greater than about 72 hours, hi a specific embodiment, the designated period of time prior to activation is 3 days. In one embodiment, the Pinl modulating compound is preactivated prior to administration to a subject followed by the introduction of at least one stimulus sufficient to allow the modulation the activity of Pinl by the modulating compound, hi certain embodiment ofthe invention, the activity ofthe modulating compound is enhanced by the entrance ofthe cells, e.g., cells of a subject, into a Pinl inhibited state. In one embodiment ofthe invention, the Pinl modulating compounds of the invention have a characteristic inhibition profile (CIP) and have an effective cytotoxicity, e.g., effective to freat a Pinl associated state. The Pinl -modulating compounds described herein may be substituted with any substituent that allows the Pinl -modulating compound to perform its intended function. In certain embodiments the Pinl -modulating compounds described herein may be substituted with any substituent which allows the Pinl -modulating compound to perform its intended function, possess a CIP, and/or be effectively cytotoxic, as defined herein. The cytotoxicity ofthe compounds can be determined by using the CPCA given in Example 1. The measurement ofthe activity ofthe Pinl -modulating compounds in the determination the inhibition constant at 50% inhibition of enzyme activity (IC50), which is used to characterize the CIP, may be performed by using the analysis described in Example 2. An ordinarily skilled artisan would be able to use data generated by the assays to modify substituents on the Pinl modulating compounds to obtain effectively cytotoxic Pinl modulating compounds with characteristic inhibition profiles. The term "characteristic inhibition profile (CTP)" is a characterization of the modulating compound ofthe invention such that the Pinl -associated state is inhibited. Characterization ofthe modulating compounds includes measurement ofthe inhibition constant at 50% inhibition of enzyme activity (IC50). Compounds that demonstrate a CIP include modulating compounds with and IC50 of less than about 40 μM. In certain embodiments ofthe invention, the IC50 is between about 10-40 μM. In additional embodiments, the IC50 is between about 1-10 μM. In certain embodiments, the IC50 is less than about 1 μM. The term "effective cytotoxicity" or "effectively cytotoxic" includes cytotoxicities of Pinl -modulating compounds which allow the Pinl -modulating compound to perform its intended function, e.g., treat Pinl associated states. Cytotoxicities can be measured, for example, by using the Cell Based Cytotoxicity Assay (CBCA) method described in Example 1. In one embodiment, the Pinl- modulating compound has a cytotoxicity (as measured by the CBCA in Example 1) of 50 μM or less, 45 μM or less, 40 μM or less, 35 μM or less, 30 μM or less, 25 μM or less, 20 μM or less, 15 μM or less, 10 μM or less, 9 μM or less, 8 μM or less, 7 μM or less, 6 μM or less, 5 μM or less, 4 μM or less, 3 μM or less, 2 μM or less, 1 μM or less, 0.9 μM or less, 0.8 μM or less, 0.7 μM or less, 0.6 μM or less, 0.5 μM or less, 0.4 μM or less, or, preferably, 0.3 μM or less, or 0.05 μM or less. Values and ranges included and/or intermediate ofthe values set forth herein are also intended to be within the scope ofthe present invention. In one embodiment, the Pinl modulating compounds ofthe invention are substantially soluble, e.g., water soluble, and have an effective cytotoxicity, e.g., effective to freat a Pinl associated state. Methods for altering the solubility of organic compounds are known in the art. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art will be able to modify the Pinl modulating compounds ofthe invention such that they have a desirable logP. Ordinarily skilled artisans will be able to modify the compounds by adding and removing hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, such that a Pinl- modulating compound with a desired solubility is obtained. The Pinl -modulating compounds described herein may be substituted with any substituent which allows the Pinl -modulating compound to perform its intended function, be substantially soluble, and/or be effectively cytotoxic, as defined herein. For example, an ordinarily skilled artisan would understand that the addition of heteroatoms (hydroxy, amino, nitro, carboxylic acid groups, etc.) or other polar moieties would generally increase the solubility ofthe Pinl modulating compound in water, while addition of non-polar moieties such as aryl or alkyl groups would generally decrease the solubility ofthe compound in water. The Pinl modulating compound can then be tested for substantial solubility by determining the logP value, e.g., by using a log octanol- water partition coefficient program such as "KOWWTN" (Meylan, W.M. and P.H. Howard. 1995. Atom/fragment contribution method for estimating octanol-water partition coefficients. J. Pharm. Sci. 84: 83-92, incoφorated herein by reference in its entirety). An ordinarily skilled artisan would be able to use data generated by these programs and assays to modify substituents on the Pinl modulating compounds to obtain substantially soluble and effectively cytotoxic Pinl modulating compounds. The term "substantially soluble" includes solubilities (e.g., aqueous solubilities) of Pinl -modulating compounds that allow the Pinl -modulating compounds to perform their intended function, e.g. , treat Pinl associated states. The solubility of a particular Pinl -modulating compound can be measured by any method known in the art, e.g., experimentally, computationally, etc. For example, one method for determining the solubility of a compound computationally is by calculating logP values using a log octanol- water partition coefficient program (KOWNvTN). In one embodiment, the Pinl- modulating compounds of the invention have logP values less than Pinl -modulating, e.g., less than 6.6. In a further embodiment, the Pinl -modulating compounds ofthe invention may have a logP value between about 1 to about 6, between about 1 to about 5, between about 1.5 to about 5, between about 2 to about 5, between about 2.5 to about 4.5, between about 2.75 to about 4.25, between about 3.0 to about 4.0, between about 3.25 to about 4.0, between about 3.5 to about 4.0, and between about 3.5 to about 3.75. Values and ranges included and/or intermediate ofthe values set forth herein are also intended to be within the scope ofthe present invention.

In particular embodiments, the compounds in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 can be administered using all ofthe methods described herein, such as combining the compound with a carrier material suitable for oral, nasal, topical, transdermal, buccal, sublingual, rectal, vaginal and/or parenteral administration. For example, formulations ofthe invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets and lozenges. Additionally, the compounds ofthe invention include analogs ofthe compounds described above containing art-recognized substituents that do not significantly effect the analog's ability to perform its intended function In an additional embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to a method for treating cyclin DI overexpression in a subject. This method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a Pinl -modulating compound of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ila), formula (III), formula (Ilia), formula (IN), formula (IVa), formula (N), formula (NI), formula (Nil), formula (NIH), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII), formula (XIII) and formula
(XIN), as described above, such that the cyclin DI overexpression is treated. In certain embodiments, the overexpression of cyclin DI is associated with the presence of breast cancer in the subject. Additionally, Pinl may cause changes in the expression, e.g., underexpression or overexpression of endogenous cyclin DI. hi fact, Pinl is believed to regulate, e.g., activate, the expression of cyclin DI by acting cooperatively with c-Jun to activate the cyclin DI promoter, hi order to activate cyclin DI expression, c-Jun must be phosphorylated. Pinl binds to c-Jun mainly via phosphorylated S63 73-P motifs. Pinl activates phosphorylated c-Jun to induce cyclin DI expression by regulating the conformation of the phosphorylated S-P motifs in c-Jun. The activity of c-Jun is also enhanced by phosphorylation induced by growth factors, oncogenic proteins, DMA damage or other stress conditions. Although different pathways may be involved, they eventually lead to activation of Pro-directed β /7*2 kinases, JΝKs, which phosphorylate c-Jun on S -P and enhance its transcriptional activity. Binetruy, et al. 1991. Nature 351:122-127. Smeal, et al. 1991. Nature 354:494-
496. Derijard, et al. 1994. Cell. 76:1025-1037. Thus, phosphorylation of c-Jun on g63 73_ ^s a y regulatory mechanism that converts inputs from various signaling pathways into changes in cyclin DI gene expression. Oncogenic and tumor suppressor pathways may also affect the activity of Pinl . Pathways activated by oncogenic Ras may contribute to up-regulation of Pinl , while wildrype Brca (a tumor suppressor) suppresses the expression of Pinl. "Decreased cyclin DI expression" or "cyclin DI underexpression" includes cells having lower than normal levels of cyclin DI. Significant cyclin DI underexpression includes both small and large decreases in the levels of cyclin DI compared with normal levels. Preferably, cyclin DI overexpression is considered in the context ofthe phase ofthe cell cycle. In actively proliferating normal cells, cyclin DI reaches a peak in mid Gi phase, decreases during S-phase, and remains low throughout the rest ofthe cycle. By contrast, in transformed cells the level of cyclin DI is more variable. Therefore, cyclin DI underexpression includes the expression of cyclin DI at levels that are abnormally low for the particular cell cycle phase ofthe cell. Cyclin DI underexpression can manifest itself as a Pinl -associated state. "Increased cyclin DI expression" or "cyclin DI overexpression" or "elevation in the expression of cyclin D 1 " includes cells having higher than normal levels of cyclin DI. Significant cyclin DI overexpression includes both small and large increases in the levels of cyclin DI compared with normal levels. Preferably, cyclin DI overexpression is considered in the context ofthe phase ofthe cell cycle. In actively proliferating normal cells, cyclin DI reaches a peak in mid Gt phase, decreases during S-phase, and remains low throughout the rest ofthe cycle. By contrast, in transformed cells the level of cyclin DI is more variable. Therefore, cyclin DI overexpression includes the expression of cyclin DI at levels that are abnormally high for the particular cell cycle phase ofthe cell. Cyclin DI overexpression can manifest itself as tumor growth or cancer. One skilled in the art would recognize that studies have been done measuring the level cyclin DI expression in normal cells and cells having a cancerous state. Increased cyclin DI expression has been found in a vast range of primary human tumors. Increased cyclin DI expression has been detected in the form of gene amplification, increased cyclin DI RNA expression, and increased cyclin DI protein expression. Most clinical studies comparing cyclin DI gene amplification with expression of cyclin DI have found that more cases show over-expression of both RNA and protein than show amplification ofthe gene. The presence of increased cyclin DI RNA and/or protein expression without gene amplification suggests that other cellular genes such as pRb may affect the expression cyclin DI. Human tumors found to have increased cyclin DI expression include: parathyroid adenomas, mantle cell lymphomas, breast cancers, head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (i.e. squamous carcinomas in the oral cavity, nasopharynx, pharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx), esophageal cancers, hepatocellular carcinomas, colorectal cancers, genitourinary cancers, lung cancers (i.e. squamous cell carcinomas ofthe lung), skins cancers (i.e. squamous cell carcinomas, melanomas, and malignant fibrous histiocytomas), sarcomas, and central nervous system malignancies (i.e. astrocytomas and glioblastomas), gastric adenocarcinomas, pancreatic adenocarcinomas, squamous carcinomas ofthe gall bladder. Donnellan, et al. 1998. J. Clin. Pathol: Mol. Pathol. 51:1-7. The cyclin DI gene is amplified in approximately 20% of mammary carcinomas and the protein is overexpressed in approximately 50% of mammary carcinomas. Barnes, et al. 1998. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. 52:1-15. Cyclin DI overexpression in mantle cell lymphoma is discussed in Espinet, et al. 1999. Cancer Genet Cytogenet. lll(l):92-8 and Stamatopoulous, et al. 1999. Br. J. Haematol. 105(l):190-7. Cyclin DI overexpression in breast cancer is discussed in Fredersdorf, et al. 1997. PNAS 94(12):6380-5. Cyclin DI overexpression in head and neck cancers is discussed in Matthias, et al. 1999. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 8(9):815-23; Matthias, et al. 1998. Clin. Cancer Res. 4(10):2411-8; and Kyomoto, et al. 1997. Int. J. Cancer. 74(6):576-81. Cyclin DI overexpression in laryngeal carcinoma is discussed in Bellacosa, et al. 1996. Clin. Cancer Res. 2(1):175- 80. Cyclin DI overexpression in multiple myeloma is discussed in Hoechtlen-Nollmar, et al. 2000. Br. J. Haematol. 109(l):30-8; Pruneri, et al. 2000. Am. J. Pathol. 156(5):1505-13; and Janssen, et al. 2000. Blood 95(8):2691-8. It is believed that in many tumors, cyclin DI acts in co-operation with other oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Cyclin DI expression is regulated by many factors. Growth factors (i.e. CSF1, platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, steroid hormones, prolactin, and serum stimulation) promote the synthesis of cyclin DI and removal of growth factors will lead to a drop in cyclin DI levels and arrest the cell in Gt phase. Hosokawa, et al. 1996. J. Lab. Clin. Med. 127:246-52. In addition, hypophosphorylated pRb stimulates cyclin DI transcription, while cyclin DI activity is inhibited by transforming growth factor β-l, p53, and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs). High levels of CKIs bind to cdks and reduce the ability of cyclins to activate the cdks. There are 2 classes of CKIs: (1) the Kip/Cip family including p21, p27, and p57 and (2) the IΝK4 family including pl5, pl6, 18, and pl9. The Kip/Cip family members are capable of binding to and inhibiting most cyclin-cdk complexes, whereas the JNK4 family members seem to be specific inhibitors of cyclin Dl-cdk complexes. Donnellan, et al. 1998. J. Clin. Pathol: Mol. Pathol. 51:1-7. For example, pRb and E2F are activators of CKI pl6, and the levels of p27 may be increased by TGF-/3, cAMP, contact inhibition, and serum deprivation. Barnes, et al. 1998. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment. 52:1-15. Cyclin DI is believed to act through the phosphorylation of pRB. pRB is hypophosphorylated throughout the Gi phase, phosphorylated just before the S phase, and remains phosphorylated until late mitosis. Hypophosphorylated pRB arrests cells in Gi by forming a complex with the E2F family of DNA binding proteins, which are transcription factors that transcribe genes associated with DNA replication (the S phase ofthe cell cycle). Cyclin DI can form a complex with either cdk4 or cdk6 to form activated cdk4 or cdk6. Activated cdk4 or cdk6 induces the phosphorylation of pRb changing pRb from its hypophosphorylated form in which it binds to and inactivates E2F - transcription factors to phosphorylated pRb which no longer binds to and inactivates , E2F transcription factors, h some mouse lymphoma cells overexpressing D cyclins, pRb is hyperphosphorylated compared with pRb in cells not overexpressing D cyclins. It appears that cyclin Dlis required to initiate the phosphorylation of pRb, which in turn, drives the cell through the restriction point at which stage the cell is committed to divide. "Neoplasia" or "neoplastic transformation" is the pathologic process that results in the formation and growth of a neoplasm, tissue mass, or tumor. Such process includes uncontrolled cell growth, including either benign or malignant tumors. Neoplasms include abnormal masses of tissue, the growth of which exceeds and is uncoordinated with that ofthe normal tissues and persists in the same excessive manner after cessation ofthe stimuli that evoked the change. Neoplasms may show a partial or complete lack of structural organization and functional coordination with the normal tissue, and usually form a distinct mass of tissue. One cause of neoplasia is dysregulation ofthe cell cycle machinery. Neoplasms tend to grow and function somewhat independently ofthe homeostatic mechanisms that control normal tissue growth and function. However, some neoplasms remain under the control ofthe homeostatic mechanisms that control normal tissue growth and function. For example, some neoplasms are estrogen sensitive and can be arrested by anti-estrogen therapy. Neoplasms can range in size from less than 1 cm to over 6 inches in diameter. A neoplasm even 1 cm in diameter can cause biliary obstructions and jaundice, if it arises in and obstructs the ampulla of Vater. Neoplasms tend to morphologically and functionally resemble the tissue from which they originated. For example, neoplasms arising within the islet tissue of the pancreas resemble the islet tissue, contain secretory granules, and secrete insulin. Clinical features of a neoplasm may result from the function of the tissue from which it originated. For example, excessive amounts of insulin can be produced by islet cell neoplasms resulting in hypoglycemia which, in turn, results in headaches and dizziness. However, some neoplasms show little morphological or functional resemblance to the tissue from which they originated. Some neoplasms result in such non-specific systemic effects as cachexia, increased susceptibility to infection, and fever. By assessing the histology and other features of a neoplasm, it can be determined whether the neoplasm is benign or malignant. Invasion and metastasis (the spread ofthe neoplasm to distant sites) are definitive attributes of malignancy. Despite the fact that benign neoplasms may attain enormous size, they remain discrete and distinct from the adjacent non-neoplastic tissue. Benign tumors are generally well circumscribed and round, have a capsule, and have a grey or white color, and a uniform texture. In contrast, malignant tumors generally have fingerlike projections, irregular margins, are not circumscribed, and have a variable color and texture. Benign tumors grow by pushing on adjacent tissue as they grow. As the benign tumor enlarges it compresses adjacent tissue, sometimes causing atrophy. The junction between a benign rumor and surrounding tissue may be converted to a fibrous connective tissue capsule allowing for easy surgical removal ofthe benign tumor. Conversely, malignant tumors are locally invasive and grow into the adjacent tissues usually giving rise to irregular margins that are not encapsulated making it necessary to remove a wide margin of normal tissue for the surgical removal of malignant tumors. Benign neoplasms tend to grow more slowly and tend to be less autonomous than malignant tumors. Benign neoplasms tend to closely histologically resemble the tissue from which they originated. More highly differentiated cancers, i.e., cancers that resemble the tissue from which they originated, tend to have a better prognosis than poorly differentiated cancers, while malignant tumors are more likely than benign tumors to have an aberrant function, e.g., the secretion of abnormal or excessive quantities of hormones. The histological features of cancer are summarized by the term "anaplasia." Malignant neoplasms often contain numerous mitotic cells. These cells are typically abnormal. Such mitotic aberrations account for some ofthe karyotypic abnormalities found in most cancers. Bizarre multinucleated cells are also seen in some cancers, especially those that are highly anaplastic. The term "anaplasia" includes histological features of cancer. These features include derangement ofthe normal tissue architecture, the crowding of cells, lack of cellular orientation termed dyspolarity, and cellular heterogeneity in size and shape termed "pleomorphism." The cytologic features of anaplasia include an increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio (nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio can be over 50% for malignant cells), nuclear pleomorphism, clumping ofthe nuclear chromatin along the nuclear membrane, increased staining ofthe nuclear chromatin, simplified endoplasmic reticulum, increased free ribosomes, pleomoφhism of mitochondria, decreased size and number of organelles, enlarged and increased numbers of nucleoli, and sometimes the presence of intermediate filaments. The term "dysplasia" includes pre-malignant states in which a tissue demonstrates histologic and cytologic features intermediate between normal and anaplastic. Dysplasia is often reversible. The term "cancer" includes malignancies characterized by deregulated or uncontrolled cell growth, for instance carcinomas, sarcomas, leukemias, and lymphomas. The term "cancer" includes primary malignant tumors, e.g., those whose cells have not migrated to sites in the subject's body other than the site ofthe original tumor, and secondary malignant tumors, e.g., those arising from metastasis, the migration of tumor cells to secondary sites that are different from the site ofthe original tumor. The term "carcinoma" includes malignancies of epithelial or endocrine tissues, including respiratory system carcinomas, gastrointestinal system carcinomas, gemtourinary system carcinomas, testicular carcinomas, breast carcinomas, prostate carcinomas, endocrine system carcinomas, melanomas, choriocarcinoma, and carcinomas ofthe cervix, lung, head and neck, colon, and ovary. The term "carcinoma" also includes carcinosarcomas, which include malignant tumors composed of carcinomatous and sarcomatous tissues. The term "adenocarcinoma" includes carcinomas derived from glandular tissue or a tumor in which the tumor cells form recognizable glandular structures. The term "sarcoma" includes malignant tumors of mesodermal connective tissue, e.g., tumors of bone, fat, and cartilage. The terms "leukemia" and "lymphoma" include malignancies ofthe hematopoietic cells ofthe bone marrow. Leukemias tend to proliferate as single cells, whereas lymphomas tend to proliferate as solid tumor masses. Examples of leukemias include acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute promyelocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, mixed-lineage leukemia, acute monoblastic leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia, blastic mantle cell leukemia, myelodyplastic syndrome, T cell leukemia, B cell leukemia, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Examples of lymphomas include Hodgkni's disease, non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, B cell lymphoma, epitheliotropic lymphoma, composite lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, gastric and non-gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, lymphoproliferative disease, T cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. For example, the therapeutic methods ofthe present invention can be applied to cancerous cells of mesenchymal origin, such as those producing sarcomas (e.g., fibrosarcoma, myxosarcoma, liosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, osteogenic sarcoma or chordosarcoma, angiosarcoma, endotheliosardcoma, lympangiosarcoma, synoviosarcoma or mesothelisosarcoma); leukemias and lymphomas such as granulocytic leukemia, monocytic leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia, malignant lymphoma, plasmocytoma, reticulum cell sarcoma, or Hodgkin's disease; sarcomas such as leiomysarcoma or rhabdomysarcoma, tumors of epithelial origin such as squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, sweat gland carcinoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, cystadenocarcinoma, medullary carcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, bronchogenic carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, hepatoma-liver cell carcinoma, bile duct carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, chorioaencinoma, semonoma, or embryonal carcinoma; and tumors ofthe nervous system including gioma, menigoma, medulloblastoma, schwannoma or epidymoma. Additional cell types amenable to treatment according to the methods described herein include those giving rise to mammary carcinomas, gastrointestinal carcinoma, such as colonic carcinomas, bladder carcinoma, prostate carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma ofthe neck and head region. Examples of cancers amenable to treatment according to the methods described herein include vaginal, cervical, and breast cancers. The language "inhibiting undesirable cell growth" is intended to include the inhibition of undesirable or inappropriate cell growth. The inhibition is intended to include inhibition of proliferation including rapid proliferation. For example, the cell growth can result in benign masses or the inhibition of cell growth resulting in malignant tumors. Examples of benign conditions which result from inappropriate cell growth or angiogenesis are diabetic retinopathy, retrolental fibrioplasia, neovascular glaucoma, psoriasis, angiofibromas, rheumatoid arthritis, hemangiomas, Karposi's sarcoma, and other conditions or dysfunctions characterized by dysregulated endothelial cell division. The language "inhibiting tumor growth" or "inhibiting neoplasia" includes the prevention ofthe growth of a tumor in a subject or a reduction in the growth of a pre-existing tumor in a subject. The inhibition also can be the inhibition ofthe metastasis of a tumor from one site to another. In particular, the language "tumor" is intended to encompass both in vitro and in vivo tumors that form in any organ or body part ofthe subject. The tumors preferably are tumors sensitive to the Pinl -modulating compounds ofthe present invention. Examples ofthe types of tumors intended to be encompassed by the present invention include those tumors associated with breast cancer, skin cancer, bone cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, cancer ofthe larynx, gallbladder, esophagus, pancreas, rectum, parathyroid, thyroid, adrenal, neural tissue, head and neck, colon, stomach, bronchi, kidneys. Specifically, the tumors whose growth rate is inhibited by the present invention include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of both ulcerating and papillary type, metastatic skin carcinoma, osteo sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, veticulum cell sarcoma, myeloma, giant cell tumor, small-cell lung tumor, gallstones, islet cell tumor, primary brain tumor, acute and chronic lymphocytic and granulocytic tumors, hairy-cell tumor, adenoma, hypeφlasia, medullary carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, mucosal neuromas, intestinal ganglloneuromas, hypeφlastic corneal nerve tumor, marfanoid habitus tumor, Wihn's tumor, seminoma, ovarian tumor, leiomyomater tumor, cervical dysplasia and in situ carcinoma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, soft tissue sarcoma, malignant carcinoid, topical skin lesion, mycosis fungoide, rhabdomyosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, osteogenic and other sarcoma, malignant hypercalcemia, renal cell tumor, polycythermia vera, adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma multiforma, leukemias, lymphomas (i.e. maglinant lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma), malignant melanomas, multiple myeloma, epidermoid carcinomas, and other carcinomas and sarcomas. Additionally, several in vitro results imply the involvement of Pinl with neurodegenerative disease, e.g., Alzheimer's disease (AD). A neuropathological hallmark in Alzheimer's disease, Pick disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, frontotemporal dementia, and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is the neurofibrillary tangles, whose main component is the microtubule-associated protein tau (Selkoe, DJ. Trends Cell Biol 8, 447-453, 1998; Mandelkow, E.M. et al. Trends Cell Biol 8, 425-427, 1998; Lee, N.M. Annu Rev Neurosci 24, 1121-1159, 2001). In contrast to many cancer tissues, where Pinl is overexpressed, Pinl is depleted in AD brains due to its high affinity with phosphorylated tau in the tangles (Jicha, G.A., et al. JNeurochem 69, 2087-2095, 1997). Pinl can directly bind phosphorylated tau and restore its ability to bind microtubules and promote microtubule assembly in vitro. Furthermore, Pinl is required for efficient dephosphorylation of tau in vitro, because Pro-directed phosphatases such as tau phosphatase PP2A are conformation-specific, dephosphorylating only trans (but not cis) pSer/Thr-Pro motifs. The term "neurodegenerative" as used herein, is used to designate a group of disorders in which there is gradual, generally relentlessly progressive wasting away of structural elements ofthe nervous system. As used herein, the term "neurodegenerative phenotype" includes any parameter related to neurodegeneration, e.g., a reduction in mobility, a reduction in vocalization, abnormal limb-clasping reflex, inability to succeed in a hang test as a result of retinal atrophy, an increased level of MPM-2, an increased level of neurofibril tangles, increased tau phosphorylation, tau filament formation, abnormal neuronal moφhology, lysosomal abnormalities, neuronal degeneration, and gliosis. As used herein, the term "neurodegenerative disease or disorder" includes any disease disorder or condition that affects neuronal homeostasis, e.g., results in the degeneration or loss of neuronal cells. Neurodegenerative diseases include conditions that the development ofthe neurons, i.e., motor or brain neurons, is abnormal, as well as conditions in which result in loss of normal neuron function. Examples of such neurodegenerative disorders include Alzheimer's disease, Pick disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, frontaltemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17.
The Pinl modulating compounds ofthe present invention may be used to treat, inhibit, and/or prevent undesirable cell growth, neoplasia, and/or cancer in any subject. The Pinl modulating compounds ofthe present invention may be used to inhibit Pinl activity in a subject. In one embodiment, the Pinl modulating compounds ofthe present invention may be used to inhibit cyclin DI expression in a subject. In one embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to a method for treating a Pinl -associated state in a subject. The method includes administering to a subject an effective amount of a combination of a Pinl modulating compound ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ila), formula (IH), formula (Ilia), formula (IV), formula (IVa), formula (V), formula (VI), formula (VII), formula (VIII), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII) formula (XIH) and formula (XIV), as described above, and a hypeφlastic inhibitory agent to treat the Pinl associated states. In another embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to a method for treating cyclin DI overexpression in a subject. The method includes administering to a subject an effective amount of a combination of a Pinl modulating compound ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ha), formula (III), formula (Ilia), formula (IN), formula (JNa), formula (V), formula (VI), formula (Nil), formula (VΪΪT), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII) formula (XIII) and formula (XIN), as described above, and a hypeφlastic inhibitory agent to treat the cyclin DI overexpression. In yet another embodiment, the invention pertains, at least in part, to a method for treating cancer in a subject. The method includes administering to a subject an effective amount of a combination of a Pinl modulating compound ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ila), formula (Til), formula (Ilia), formula (IN), formula (INa), formula (N), formula (VI), formula (NH), formula (NIII), formula (IX), formula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII), formula (Xπi) and formula (XIN), as described above, and a hypeφlastic inhibitory agent to treat the cancer. The language "hypeφlastic inhibitory agent" includes agents that inhibit the growth of proliferating cells or tissue wherein the growth of such cells or tissues is undesirable. For example, the inhibition can be ofthe growth of malignant cells, such as in neoplasms or benign cells, e.g., in tissues where the growth is inappropriate. Examples ofthe types of agents that can be used include chemotherapeutic agents, radiation therapy treatments, including therapeutically effective ranges of light (e.g., laser light and/or immunofluorescent compounds), and associated radioactive compounds and methods, immunotoxins, and combinations thereof. The language "chemotherapeutic agent" includes chemical reagents that inhibit the growth of proliferating cells or tissues wherein the growth of such cells or tissues is undesirable. Chemotherapeutic agents are well known in the art (see e.g., Gihnan A.G., et al., The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th Ed., Sec 12:1202- 1263 (1990)), and are typically used to treat neoplastic diseases. The chemotherapeutic agents generally employed in chemotherapy treatments are listed below in Table 9. Other similar examples of chemotherapeutic agents include: bleomycin, docetaxel (Taxotere), doxorubicin, edatrexate, etoposide, finasteride (Proscar), flutamide (Eulexin), gemcitabine (Gemzar), goserelin acetate (Zoladex), granisetron (Kytril), irinotecan (Campto/Camptosar), ondansetron (Zofran), paclitaxel (Taxol), pegaspargase (Oncaspar), pilocaφine hydrochloride (Salagen), porfimer sodium (Photofrin), interleukin-2 (Proleukin), rituximab (Rituxan), topotecan (Hycamtin), trastuzumab (Herceptin), tretinoin (Retin-A), Triapine, vincristine, and vinorelbine tartrate (Νavelbine).

In certain embodiments, the chemotherapeutic agent can be, for example, a cancer associated polypeptide inhibitor, e.g., herceptin, or a compound that alters the expression of a cancer associated polyeptide. The use of Pinl binding compounds in addition to a second anticancer treatment is described in "Use of Pinl Inliibitors for Treatment of Cancer," USSN: 60/504117, filed September 17, 2003, the content of which is hereby expressly incoφorated by reference in its entirety. The term "cancer associated polypeptide" refers to a polypeptide whose misexpression has been shown to cause, or be associated with aberrant cell growth, e.g. , cancer. Further, cancer associated polypeptides are those that are differentially expressed in cancer cells. In one embodiment, the cancer associated polypeptide is a encoded by an oncogene. In a related embodiment, the cancer associated polypeptide is a polypeptide whose expression has been linked to cancer, e.g., as a marker. The presence of a cancer associated polypeptide can be determined by the presence of the polypeptide or nucleic acid molecules, e.g., mRNA or genomic DNA, that encodes the cancer associated polypeptide. Exemplary cancer associated polypeptides include the protein encoded by Her2/neu, (c-erb-2) (Liu et al. (1992) Oncogene7: 1027-32); ras (Nakano, et al. (1984) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A 81:71-5); Cyclin DI (Bartkova, et al. (1995) Oncogene 10:775-8, Shamma, et al. (1998) Int. J. Oncol. 13:455-60); E2F1 (Johnson et al. (1994) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91:12823-7); myc (Corcoran et al. (1984) Cell 37:113-22, Goddard et al. (1986) Nature 322:555-557); jun (Vogt et al. (1990) Adv. Cancer Res. 55:1-35); p53 (Levine et al. (1989) Princess Takamatsu Symp. 20:221-230). The language "radiation therapy" includes the application of a genetically and somatically safe level of electrons, protons, or photons, both localized and non- localized, to a subject to inhibit, reduce, or prevent symptoms or conditions associated with undesirable cell growth. The term X-rays is also intended to include machine- generated radiation, clinically acceptable radioactive elements, and isotopes thereof, as well as the radioactive emissions therefrom. Examples ofthe types of emissions include alpha rays, beta rays including hard betas, high-energy electrons, and gamma rays. Radiation therapy is well known in the art (see e.g., Fishbach, F., Laboratory Diagnostic Tests, 3rd Ed., Ch. 10: 581-644 (1988)), and is typically used to treat neoplastic diseases. The term "immunotoxins" includes immunotherapeutic agents that employ cytotoxic T cells and/or antibodies, e.g., monoclonal, polyclonal, phage antibodies, or fragments thereof, which are utilized in the selective destruction of undesirable rapidly proliferating cells. For example, immunotoxins can include antibody-toxin conjugates (e.g., Ab-ricin and Ab-diptheria toxin), antibody-radiolabels (e.g., Ab-1135) and antibody activation ofthe complement at the tumor cell. The use of immunotoxins to inhibit, reduce, or prevent symptoms or conditions associated with neoplastic diseases are well known in the art (see, e.g., Harlow, E. and Lane, D., Antibodies, (1988)). In another embodiment, the invention pertains to a method for photochemotherapeutically treating a Pinl -associated state in a subject comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a Pinl-modulating compound of formulas (I), (la), (II), (na), (ILT), (HIa), (TV), (INa), (V), (NT), (Nil), (NIH), (BO, (X), (XI), (XH), (XΓH) and (XIN) and activation ofthe Pinl-modulating compound with a sufficent amount of light, such that said Pinl -associated state is photochemotherapeutically treated. While the aspect ofthe use ofthe compounds ofthe present invention in photochemotherapy is discussed herein, it should be understood that this discussion is not meant to be exclusive. In fact, further aspects of photochemotherapy are more fully discussed in U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/463271 (which is hereby expressly incoφorated herein by reference), including radiation sources, doses, and more specific methods of use, etc.; and the scope the present invention includes those aspects of photochemotherapy described therein. The language "photochemotherapy" or "photochemotherapeutically treating" is intended to include the art-recognized practice for the treatment of various abnormalities or disorders ofthe skin, or other epithelial organs, especially cancers or pre-cancerous lesions, e.g., melanoma, as well as certain nonmalignant lesions, for example, skin complaints such as psoriasis. Photochemotherapy involves the application of photosensitizing (photochemotherapeutic) agents to the affected area ofthe body or systemic application, followed by exposure to photoactivating light in order to activate the photosensitizing agents and convert them into cytotoxic form, whereby the affected cells are killed or their proliferative potential is diminished. The language "sufficient amount of light" is intended to include the amount of light sufficient to activate the Pinl modulating compound, e.g., prior to or subsequent to administration ofthe Pinl modulating compound to a subject. The light may be produced and transmitted from a point external to the subject, e.g., from conventional sources (e.g., a xenon arc lamp) or from a laser, through the exterior surface ofthe subject, or via optical fibers inserted into the subject. The light also may be produced from within the subject by a coadministered photoluminescent compound or the Pinl modulating compound itself (which may additionally comprise a photoluminescent molecule). Methods for irradiation of different areas ofthe body, e.g., by lamps or lasers, are well known in the art (see for example Nan den Bergh, Chemistry in Britain, May 1986 p. 430-439). The light used for the photochemotherapy ofthe present invention may comprise radiation, i.e., light, of a wavelength substantially equal to the maximum absoφtion wavelength of the Pinl modulating compound, or of a wavelength band that embraces the maximum absoφtion wavelength ofthe compound. In one embodiment, the light comprises a wavelength in the region of 600 to 1,300 nm. The exposure dose of light varies depending on the type and condition ofthe therapeutic target, the condition, age, sex, body weight and constitution ofthe patient, the type of he compound used, etc. It is within the scope ofthe invention to use either a single type of light of a single wavelength or a single band of wavelengths, or to use two or more types of light of different wavelengths or different bands of wavelength. The wavelength of light used for irradiation may be selected to achieve a more efficacious photochemotherapeutic effect. In certain embodiments, the wavelength of light used for the treatment is not less than 600 nm. In one embodiment, the invention includes a packaged Pinl-associated state treatment. The packaged treatment includes a Pinl modulating compound ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (H), formula (Ha), formula (III), formula (Hla), formula (IN), formula (INa), formula (V), formula (VI), formula (VH), formula (NET), formula (IX), foπnula (X), formula (XT), foπnula (XII), foπnula (XIII) and foπnula (XIV), as described above, packaged with instructions for using an effective amount ofthe Pinl modulating compound. In another embodiment, the invention includes a packaged cyclin DI expression treatment. This packaged treatment include a Pinl modulating compound of the invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), formula (Ha), foπnula (IH), formula (IHa), formula (IV), formula (INa), foπnula (V), formula (VI), formula (VII), foπnula (VIII), foπnula (IX), foπnula (X), foπnula (XI), formula (XII), formula (XIII) and formula (XIV), as described above, packaged with instructions for using an effective amount ofthe Pinl modulating compound to modulate, e.g., treat, cyclin DI overexpression. In yet another embodiment, the invention also pertains, at least in part to a packaged cancer treatment, which includes a Pinl-modulating compound ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formula (I), formula (la), formula (II), foπnula (Ila), formula (HI), foπnula (IHa), foπnula (IN), foπnula (IVa), formula (V), formula (NI), formula (NH), formula (VIII), formula (IX), foπnula (X), formula (XI), formula (XII), formula (XIII) and formula (XIN), as described above, packaged with instructions for using an effective amount ofthe Pinl-modulating compound to treat cancer. The invention also pertains, at least in part, to pharmaceutical compositions of Pinl-modulating compounds ofthe invention, e.g., Pinl-modulating compounds of formulas (I), (la), (H), (Ha), (IH), (Hla), (IN), (INa), (N), (VI), (VH), (NIII), (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), (Xm) and (XIN), as described above, and, optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The language "effective amount" ofthe compound is that amount necessary or sufficient to treat or prevent a Pinl associated state, e.g. prevent the various moφhological and somatic symptoms of a Pinl associated state. In an example, an effective amount ofthe Pinl-modulating compound is the amount sufficient lo inhibit undesirable cell growth in a subject. In another example, an effective amount ofthe Pinl-modulating compound is the amount sufficient to reduce the size of a pre-existing benign cell mass or malignant tumor in a subject. The effective amount can vary depending on such factors as the size and weight ofthe subject, the type of illness, or the particular Pinl binding compound. For example, the choice ofthe Pinl binding compound can affect what constitutes an "effective amount". One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to study the factors contained herein and make the determination regarding the effective amount ofthe Pinl binding compound without undue experimentation. In one possible assay, an effective amount of a Pinl-modulating compound can be determined by assaying for the expression of cyclin DI and determining the amount ofthe Pinl-modulating compound sufficient to modulate, e.g., reduce, the levels of cyclin DI to that associated with a non-cancerous state. The regimen of administration can affect what constitutes an effective amount. The Pinl binding compound can be administered to the subject either prior to or after the onset of a Pinl associated state. Further, several divided dosages, as well as staggered dosages, can be administered daily or sequentially, or the dose can be continuously infused, or can be a bolus injection. Further, the dosages ofthe Pinl binding compound(s) can be proportionally increased or decreased as indicated by the exigencies ofthe therapeutic or prophylactic situation. The language "pharmaceutical composition" includes preparations suitable for administration to mammals, e.g., humans. When the compounds ofthe present invention are administered as pharmaceuticals to mammals, e.g., humans, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" is art recognized and includes a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, suitable for administering compounds ofthe present invention to mammals. The carriers include liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject agent from one organ, or portion ofthe body, to another organ, or portion ofthe body. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients ofthe formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches, such as com starch and potato starch; cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, com oil and soybean oil; glycols, such as propylene glycol; polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; phosphate buffer solutions; and other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations. Wetting agents, emulsifiers and lubricants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, release agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the compositions. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable antioxidants include: water soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid, cysteine hydrochloride, sodium bisulfate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite and the like; oil-soluble antioxidants, such as ascorbyl palmitate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), lecithin, propyl gallate, α-tocopherol, and the like; and metal chelating agents, such as citric acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), sorbitol, tartaric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Formulations ofthe present invention include those suitable for oral, nasal, topical, transdermal, buccal, sublingual, rectal, vaginal and/or parenteral administration. The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount ofthe compound that produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred per cent, this amount will range from about 1 per cent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 5 per cent to about 70 per cent, most preferably from about 10 per cent to about 30 per cent. Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association a compound ofthe present invention with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a compound ofthe present invention with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product. Formulations ofthe invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), powders, granules, or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as an elixir or syrup, or as pastilles (using an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia) and or as mouth washes and the like, each containing a predetermined amount of a compound of the present invention as an active ingredient. A compound ofthe present invention may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste. In solid dosage forms ofthe invention for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and/or any ofthe following: fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and/or silicic acid; binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyπolidone, sucrose and/or acacia; humectants, such as glycerol; disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; absoφtion accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium compounds; wetting agents, such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and coloring agents. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard- filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropyhnethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture ofthe powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets, and other solid dosage forms ofthe pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, such as dragees, capsules, pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release ofthe active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropyhnethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes and/or microspheres. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incoφorating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions that can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain portion ofthe gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more ofthe above-described excipients. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration ofthe compounds ofthe invention include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluent commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, com, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert dilutents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents. Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof. Formulations ofthe phaπnaceutical compositions ofthe invention for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds ofthe invention with one or more suitable nonirritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound. Formulations ofthe present invention which are suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray foπnulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate. Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that may be required. The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this invention, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to a compound of this invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane. Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound ofthe present invention to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the compound in the proper medium. Absoφtion enhancers can also be used to increase the flux ofthe compound across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the active compound in a polymer matrix or gel. Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders, solutions and the like, are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more compounds ofthe invention in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous ι solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers that maybe employed in the pharmaceutical compositions ofthe invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance ofthe required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention ofthe action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absoφtion ofthe injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absoφtion such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin. In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow the absoφtion ofthe drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amoφhous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absoφtion ofthe drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absoφtion of a parenterally-administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the subject compounds in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer, and the nature ofthe particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissue. The preparations ofthe present invention may be given orally, parenterally, topically, or rectally. They are of course given by forms suitable for each adminisfration route. For example, they are administered in tablets or capsule form, by injection, inhalation, eye lotion, ointment, suppository, etc. administration by injection, infusion or inhalation; topical by lotion or ointment; and rectal by suppositories. Oral administration is preferred. The phrases "parenteral adminisfration" and "administered parenterally" as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical adminisfration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, infrathecal, infracapsular, intraorbital, infracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, franstracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, infraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrasternal injection and infusion. The phrases "systemic administration," "administered systemically," "peripheral administration" and "administered peripherally" as used herein mean the administration of a compound, drug or other material other than directly into the central nervous system, such that it enters the patient's system and, thus, is subject to metabolism and other like processes, for example, subcutaneous administration. These compounds may be administered to humans and other animals for therapy by any suitable route of admimstration, including orally, nasally, as by, for example, a spray, rectally, intravaginally, parenterally, intracisternally and topically, as by powders, ointments or drops, including buccally and sublingually. Regardless of the route of adminisfration selected, the compounds of the present invention, which may be used in a suitable hydrated form, and/or the pharmaceutical compositions ofthe present invention, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art. Actual dosage levels ofthe active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may be varied so as to obtain an amount ofthe active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient. The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity ofthe particular compound ofthe present invention employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion ofthe particular compound being employed, the duration ofthe treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compound employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history ofthe patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts. A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount ofthe pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses ofthe compounds ofthe invention employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. In general, a suitable daily dose of a compound ofthe invention will be that amount ofthe compound that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above. Generally, intravenous and subcutaneous doses ofthe compounds of this invention for a patient, when used for the indicated analgesic effects, will range from about 0.0001 to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, more preferably from about 0.01 to about 50 mg per kg per day, and still more preferably from about 1.0 to about 100 mg per kg per day. An effective amount is that amount treats an Pinl associated state. If desired, the effective daily dose ofthe active compound maybe administered as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. While it is possible for a compound ofthe present invention to be administered alone, it is preferable to administer the compound as a pharmaceutical composition. EXEMPLIFICATION OF THE INVENTION: The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which should not be construed as further limiting. The animal models used throughout the Examples are accepted animal models and the demonstration of efficacy in these animal models is predictive of efficacy in humans.
Tumor Inhibition Assays Pinl-modulating compounds are potent antitumor agents. The anti-tumor activity of Pinl-modulating compounds against glioblastoma cells is comparable to 1,3- bis(2-chloroethyl)- 1 -nitrosourea (BCNU), one of the most potent clinical useful antitumor agents. Misra, et al. 1982. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 104: 4478-4479 In vitro anti-tumor activity of Pinl-modulating compounds can be assayed by measuring the ability of Pinl-modulating compounds to kill tumor cells. Examples of appropriate cells lines include: human lung (A549); resistant human lung with low topo H activity (A549-VP); murine melanoma (B16); human colon tumor (HCT116); human colon tumor with elevated pi 70 levels (HCTVM); human colon tumor with low topo H activity (HCTVP); P388 murine lymph leukemia cells; and human colon carcinoma cell line (Moser) under standard conditions. After the cells are cultured for twenty-four hours and allowed to attach to a plate (i.e. a 96- well flat bottom plate), the cells are incubated for 72 hours with serially diluted concentrations of Pinl- modulating compounds. From this data, the concentration ofthe compound at which 50% ofthe cells are killed (IC50) is determined. Kelly, et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,166,208 and Pandey, et. al. 1981. J. Antibiot. 34(11):1389-401. In vivo anti-tumor activity of Pinl-modulating compounds can be assayed for by a reduction of tumor cells in mammals (i.e. mice) and a resulting increase in survival time compared to untreated tumor bearing mammals. For example, CDFi mice are injected inteφeritoneally with a suspension of P388 murine lymph leukemia cells, Ehrlich carcinoma cells, B16 melanoma cells, or Meth-A fibrosarcoma cells or other appropriate tumor cell line. Some ofthe mice are treated intraperitoneally with a Pinl-modulating compounds. Other mice are treated with saline. The in vivo activity of the compound is determined in terms ofthe % T/C which is the ratio ofthe mean survival time ofthe treated group to the mean survival time ofthe saline treated group times 100. Yokoi, et al, U.S. Patent No. 4,584,377; Kelly, et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,166,208; Warnick-Pickle, et al. 1981. J. Antibiot. 34(11): 1402-7; and Pandey, et. al. 1981. J. Antibiot. 34(11):1389-401 hi vivo anti-tumor activity of Pinl-modulating compounds can be assayed for using a transgenic animal, e.g. a mouse, that overexpresses a particular oncogene. For example, "Use of Pinl Inhibitors for Treatment of Cancer," USSN: 60/504117, filed September 17, 2003, the content of which is hereby expressly incoφorated by reference in its entirety, describes methods of evaluating a biological sample that is obtained from a subject for the presence of a cancer associated polypeptide; wherein the presence ofthe cancer associated polypeptide indicates that the subject will benefit from treatment with a Pinl inhibitor. In one embodiment of this application, a knockout-Pinl -animal that overexpresses a cancer associated polypeptide is tested for the development of cancer. USSN: 60/504117 demonstrates that an animal that is deficient in Pinl expression does not develop cancer when overexpressing a known oncogene. The in vivo anti-tumor activity of Pinl-modulating compounds can also be assayed as inhibitors against an ovarian tumor growing in a human tumor cloning system. Tebbe, et al. 1971 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 93:3793-3795. The invention is further illustrated by the following examples, which should not be construed as further limiting.
Example 1 Cell Based Cytotoxicity Assay (CBCA) of Pinl Modulating Compounds
Mammalian cells were seeded in 96 well flat bottom microtiter plates at a density of 5,000 6000 cells per well on day 0 in 0.1 mL of an appropriate growth media. On Day 1 , the wells were aspirated and 0.1 mL of fresh media was added. The cells were then treated with 0.01 mL of lOx drug dilutions in 10% DMSO in media and incubated at 37° C in a humidified, 5% CO2 atmosphere. The assay contained eight drug concentrations in triplicate as well as a triplicate control where cells were treated with 0.01 mL of 10% DMSO in media. On Day 4, the cells were incubated with 0.02 mL of a colorimetric cell-viability assay solution (MTS) prepared from 20 parts (3-(4,5- dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (Promega) at 2.0 mg/mL in PBS and 1 part phenazine methosulfate (Sigma) at 0.92 mg/mL in PBS for 2-3 hours at 37 °C. Background wells were prepared by incubating 0.02 mL ofthe colorimetric cell- viability assay solution with 0.1 mL of media in parallel with the cell containing wells. The absorbance at 490 nm was then measured with an ELISA plate reader and the absorbance recorded for the background wells was averaged and the mean value was subtracted from the cell containing wells. Percent cell viabilities at each drug concentration were calculated by dividing the mean absorbance at 490 nm ofthe treated wells by the mean absorbance at 490 nm ofthe untreated wells. ED50 values (the effective dose required to for 50% viability) were calculated by plotting drug concentrations versus percent cell viability. To count cells, suspended cells (0.02 mL) were diluted into 0.18 mL of 0.2% trypan blue solution in PBS. Approximately 0.015 mL of the suspension was added to a chamber of a Levy counting hemacytometer. The viable cells were counted in each ofthe four sets of 16 squares that are at the corners ofthe closely ruled lines. The total number of viable cells from the 64 squares were then multiplied by 0.025 to obtain the concentration of cells in the stock suspension. (Number of cells in the 64 wells) x (0.025) = lxlO6 cells/mL (original stock).
Example 2 Specificity Assay for Inhibition ofProline Isomerase by Pinl Modulating Compounds The proline isomerase activity assay is based on the method described by Fisher et al. (Biomed. Biochim. Acta, 1984, 43: 1101-1111). Specifically, the enzyme (3 ng) was preincubated with 236 uM substrate at 4 °C for 30 minutes in an 80 μL reaction volume containing 0.1 mg/μL BSA, 0.2 mM DTT, and 35 mM HEPES (pH 7.8). Proteolysis ofthe substrate was initiated by the addition of 80 μL of trypsin at 0.4 mg/mL in 35 mM HEPES (pH 7.8) and the release of p-nitroaniline was monitored every 10 seconds at 390 nm using a microplate reader (MRD/8V/DIAS, Dynex Technologies). Inhibition studies were preformed by adding 5 μL of inhibitors added in the pre-incubation mix. Inhibitors were at 0.4 mg/mL in 10% DMSO. Multiple activity-based assays at multiple dilutions, performed as described above, were used to generate the curve from which the IC50 was determined. Several IC50 results were obtained for the compounds ofthe invention using this experimental protocol.

Example 3 Specificity Assay for Inhibition of Pinl by Pinl Modulating Compounds
The specificity ofthe Pinl inhibitor compounds ofthe invention can be determined by the protease-coupled PPIase assay developed by Fischer et al. (Bio ed. Biochim. Acta, 1984, 43: 1101-1111). For example, the enzyme activity of Pinl can be compared to members ofthe other known classes of PPIases, cyclophilins (e.g., hCyplS, hCyP-A, hCyP-B, hCyP-C, and NKCA) and FKBPs (e.g., hFKBP12, hFKBP-12, hFKBP-13, and hFKBP-25) in the presence and absence ofthe compound. In one assay, hPinl activity measurements are determined using bovine trypsin (final concentration 0.21 mg/mL, Sigma) as an isomer specific protease and Ac-Ala-Ala-Ser(P)-Pro-Arg-pNA (Jerini, Germany) as a substrate. PPIase activity of hFKBP12 (Sigma) and hCyplδ (Sigma) is determined with the peptide substrate Suc-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-pNA (Bachem) and the protease α-chymotrypsin (final concentration 0.41 mg/mL, Sigma). The test can be performed by observing the released 4-nitroanilide at 390 nm with a Hewlett-Packard 8453 UN-vis spectrophotometer at 10°C. The total reaction volume is adjusted to 1.23 mL by mixing appropriate volumes of 35 mM HEPES (pH 7.8) with enzyme and effector solutions. The Pinl inhibitor compound is freshly diluted from a 1 mg/mL stock solution in DMSO, and pre-incubated at varying concentrations with the enzyme for 5 min (10°C). Prior to the start of reaction by addition ofthe respective protease, 2 μL ofthe peptide substrate stock solution (10 mg/mL in DMSO) is added. The amount of organic solvent is kept constant within each experiment (< 0.1%). The pseudo-first-order rate constant ko s for cis/trans isomerization in the presence of PPIase and the first-order rate constant k0 ofthe uncatalyzed cis/trans isomerization can be calculated using the Kinetics Software of Hewlett-Packard as well as SigmaPlot2000 for Windows 6.0 (SPSS). The Kj value for inhibition of Pinl PPIase activity by a Pinl inhibitor compound ofthe invention at constant concentrations of substrate ([S0]«KM) can then be calculated by fitting the data according to the equation for a competitive "tight-binding" inhibitor using SigmaPlot2000
Example 4 Cellular Screen Secondary Cell Based Activity Assay (Determination of ED so)
WD 8 or PC3 cells were trypsonized and diluted to a concentration of approximately 2000 cells per 100 ul of solution. 100 ul of cell solution was added to each well of a micortitre plate. After the cells had grown for approximately 1 day, 10 μL of a test compound stock solution was added to each well. After approximately 2 days of growth, the media was removed from each well and tyφsin was added. After a short incubation, the trypsin was inactivated and the cells were counted using a Guava Cell Analysis System (Hayward, CA). In order to determine the amount of soluble test compound in each assay, a duplicate sample, without cells added, was analyzed by HPLC and the amount of test compound was determined by comparison with a standard curve. ED5fj values were adjusted based on the amount of soluble test compound in each well. The results of this experiment are presented below.

Example 5 Method for Evaluating Pinl Levels
In one embodiment, the automated cellular imaging system (ACIS) was used to deteπnine tissues with elevated Pinl Levels. The methodology that was used to collect the data that is presented in Table 10 is described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2003-0068626 Al, the entire contents of which are incoφorated herein by reference. Micro-histoarray sections were scanned and images were captured using the automated cellular imaging system (ChromaNision Medical Systems, Inc., San Juan Capistrano, CA), which combines automated microscopy and computerized image processing to analyze multiple tissues on a single shde. ACIS was used to analyze microarray tissue sections on glass slides stained using a diaminodenzidine chromagen (DAB) and hematoxylin counterstain. Positive staining (brown color) as viewed by light microscope indicates the presence ofthe protein, and color intensity coπelates directly with protein quantity (expression). The ACIS was able to recognize 255 levels of immunohistochemical staining intensity (0-255) and converted these to fractional scores for the selected individual areas. However, the base limit on the threshold for the Generic DAB is pre-set at 50 by the manufacturer because the system is very sensitive. Therefore, any intensity below 50 was treated as 0 in this study. Entire immunostained tissue sections were scanned using the 4 X objective and images were captured using the 10X objective.
Calculation of Pin protein expression in human cancers: In this study, intensity scoring and the percent positive scoring (brown area was divided by total area) were used with the entire individual tissue dot selected.
The immunohistochemical staining was quantitated without knowledge of a pathologist' s score. All tissue samples were immunostained twice at one location, and confirmed at a second location, followed by an evaluation ofthe two data sets.
For example, the final score was obtained by using the average ofthe two data sets and was calculated by the formulation: score = intensity + (X percent positive staining).
The % of total cases showing elevated levels (over-expression) of Pin 1 = [numbers of tumor samples with score larger than the score ofthe highest normal case] total number of tumor samples multiplied by 100.

Method A condenses an aldehyde with the active methylene of an appropriately substituted rhodanine carboxylic acid under Aldol conditions. Method B condenses the aldehydes with the coπesponding ester-protected carboxylic acid, followed by hydrolytic cleavage ofthe ester to provide the carboxylic acid. Method C demonstrates that the Aldol condensation can be carried out using polymer-bound rhodanine. The final product can subsequently be released from the polymer support under mild conditions to provide the analogs ofthe invention. Suzuki cross coupling reactions (method scheme not shown) can also be employed to make the compounds of the invention.
