HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.62/831,677, filed on April 9, 2019, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] This disclosure relates generally to therapeutics engaged in inhibition of the DNA damage checkpoint kinase, Wee1, which potentiates genotoxic chemotherapies by abrogating cell-cycle arrest and proper DNA repair. The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising compounds of the present invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of diseases associated with this pathway. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Wee1 is a tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates Cdc2 and is involved in G checkpoint signaling. More particularly, Wee1 is involved in G2-M checkpoint signaling. Because p53 is a key regulator in the G checkpoint, p53-deficient tumors rely only on the G checkpoint after DNA damage. More particularly, because p53 is a key regulator in the G1-S checkpoint, p53-deficient tumors rely only on the G2-M checkpoint after DNA damage. Hence, such tumors are selectively sensitized to DNA-dam ging agents by Wee1 inhibition.

[0004] Wee1 belongs to a family of protein kinases involved in the terminal

phosphorylation and inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1-bound cyclin B, resulting in G cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage. Wee1 was first identified in fission yeast, where Wee1 deficiency resulted in premature mitotic entry and replication of smaller-sized yeast. It is the major kinase responsible for the inhibitory phosphorylation of the tyrosine.

[0005] Before cells undergo mitosis, they progress through a tightly controlled cascade of G1-S, intra-S, and G2-M checkpoints. Wee1 kinase has emerged as a key G2-M checkpoint regulator. This tyrosine kinase negatively regulates entry into mitosis by catalyzing an inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdc2 (the human homolog of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) on tyrosine-15 (Y15). This results in inactivation of the Cdc2/cyclin B complex, which arrests cells in G2-M, allowing for DNA repair. Such inhibition also occurs through Chk1-mediated inhibition of Cdc25 phosphatases, which remove the inhibitory phosphorylation on Cdc2. Thus, entry into mitosis rests on a balance between the opposing activities of Wee1 and Chk1/Cdc25. Wee1 inhibition is thus expected to abrogate G₂-M arrest and propel cells into premature mitosis, a hypothesis confirmed by studies documenting that Wee1 inhibition by either small molecule inhibitors or small interference RNA leads to premature entry into mitosis and consequent cell death through mitotic catastrophe or apoptosis. (S. Muller, J. Clinical. Oncology, 2015).

[0006] Recently, a few classes of Wee1 inhibitors have been disclosed. Among them is a selective inhibitor, AZD-1775 (1, 2-allyl-1-(6-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)-6-((4- (4methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl)amino)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-3(2H)-one). AZD-1775 exhibited antitumor activity in various preclinical studies in potentiating chemo- and radiotherapy and is currently in phase I/II clinical trials.

[0007] Wee1 is highly expressed in several cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancers, cervical cancers, lung cancers, squamous cell carcinoma, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, leukemia, melanoma, and ovarian cancers. (P. Reigan et al., Trends in Pharmacol. Sci., 2016).

[0008] There are few Wee1 inhibitors in clinical development. There is scope to improve Wee1 inhibitor selectivity and the properties of the inhibitors to permit targeting of specific cancer types. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

For example, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: decreasing symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival of individuals. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, beneficial or desired results include shrinking a tumor (reducing tumor size); decreasing the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth); reducing the number of cancer cells; inhibiting, retarding or slowing to some extent and preferably stopping cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; inhibiting (slowing to some extent and preferably stopping) tumor metastasis; inhibiting tumor growth; preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or relieving to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. In some embodiments, beneficial or desired results include preventing or delaying occurrence and/or recurrence, such as of unwanted cell proliferation.

[0027] As used herein,“delaying development of a disease” means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize, and/or postpone development of the disease (such as cancer). This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease. For example, a late stage cancer, such as development of metastasis, may be delayed.

[0028] As used herein, an“effective dosage” or“effective amount” of compound or salt thereof or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to effect beneficial or desired results. For prophylactic use, beneficial or desired results include results such as eliminating or reducing the risk, lessening the severity of, or delaying the onset of the disease, including biochemical, histological and/or behavioral symptoms of the disease, its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes presenting during development of the disease. For therapeutic use, beneficial or desired results include ameliorating, palliating, lessening, delaying or decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease, enhancing effect of another medication such as via targeting, delaying the progression of the disease, and/or prolonging survival. In reference to cancers or other unwanted cell proliferation, an effective amount comprises an amount sufficient to cause a tumor to shrink and/or to decrease the growth rate of the tumor (such as to suppress tumor growth) or to prevent or delay other unwanted cell proliferation. In some

embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to delay development. In some embodiments, an effective amount is an amount sufficient to prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, in the case of cancer, the effective amount of the drug or composition may: (i) reduce the number of cancer cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent and preferably stop cancer cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (i.e., slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of tumor; and/or (vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with the cancer. An effective dosage can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of this disclosure, an effective dosage of compound or a salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to accomplish prophylactic or therapeutic treatment either directly or indirectly. It is intended and understood that an effective dosage of a compound or salt thereof, or pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an“effective dosage” may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable result may be or is achieved.

[0029] As used herein, the term“individual” is a mammal, including humans. An individual includes, but is not limited to, human, bovine, horse, feline, canine, rodent, or primate. In some embodiments, the individual is human. The individual (such as a human) may have advanced disease or lesser extent of disease, such as low tumor burden. In some embodiments, the individual is at an early stage of a proliferative disease (such as cancer). In some embodiments, the individual is at an advanced stage of a proliferative disease (such as an advanced cancer).

[0030] Reference to“about” a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) embodiments that are directed to that value or parameter per se. For example, description referring to“about X” includes description of“X”.

[0071] Isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention can generally be prepared by standard methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art or by procedures similar to those described in the accompanying Examples substituting appropriate isotopically- labeled reagents in place of the corresponding non-labeled reagent.

[0072] The invention also includes any or all metabolites of any of the compounds described. The metabolites may include any chemical species generated by a

biotransformation of any of the compounds described, such as intermediates and products of metabolism of the compound, such as would be generated in vivo following administration to a human.

[0073] Articles of manufacture comprising a compound described herein, or a salt or solvate thereof, in a suitable container are provided. The container may be a vial, jar, ampoule, preloaded syringe, i.v. bag, and the like.

[0074] Preferably, the compounds detailed herein are orally bioavailable. However, the compounds may also be formulated for parenteral (e.g., intravenous) administration.

[0075] One or several compounds described herein can be used in the preparation of a medicament by combining the compound or compounds as an active ingredient with a pharmacologically acceptable carrier, which are known in the art. Depending on the therapeutic form of the medication, the carrier may be in various forms. In one variation, the manufacture of a medicament is for use in any of the methods disclosed herein, e.g., for the treatment of cancer. General synthetic methods

[0076] The compounds of the invention may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae herein.

[0077] Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.

[0078] Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.

[0079] Solvates and/or polymorphs of a compound provided herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are also contemplated. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non- stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are often formed during the process of

crystallization. Hydrates are formed when the solvent is water, or alcoholates are formed when the solvent is alcohol. Polymorphs include the different crystal packing arrangements of the same elemental composition of a compound. Polymorphs usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and/or solubility. Various factors such as the

recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, and storage temperature may cause a single crystal form to dominate

[0080] In some embodiments, compounds of Formula (I) may be synthesized according to Schemes 1-3.

[0123] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for treating a hyperproliferative disease (e.g., cancer), comprising administering a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof and an anti-PD-L1 antibody to a subject. In further embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib- 2), or a salt thereof is administered at a subtherapeutic dose, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is administered at a subtherapeutic dose, or both are administered at a subtherapeutic dose. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for altering an adverse event associated with treatment of a hyperproliferative disease with an immunostimulatory agent, comprising administering a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof and a subtherapeutic dose of anti-PD-L1 antibody to a subject. In certain embodiments, the subject is human. In certain embodiments, the anti-PD-L1 antibody is a human sequence monoclonal antibody. [0124] In certain embodiments, the combination of therapeutic agents discussed herein can be administered concurrently as a single composition in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, or concurrently as separate compositions each in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In another embodiment, the combination of therapeutic agents can be administered sequentially. For example, an anti-CTLA-4 antibody and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be administered sequentially, such as anti- CTLA-4 antibody being administered first and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof second, or a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof being administered first and anti-CTLA-4 antibody second. Additionally or alternatively, an anti-PD-1 antibody and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia- 1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be administered sequentially, such as anti-PD- 1 antibody being administered first and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof second, or a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof being administered first and anti-PD-1 antibody second. Additionally or alternatively, an anti-PD-L1 antibody and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be administered sequentially, such as anti-PD-L1 antibody being administered first and a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof second, or a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof being administered first and anti-PD-L1 antibody second.

[0125] Furthermore, if more than one dose of the combination therapy is administered sequentially, the order of the sequential administration can be reversed or kept in the same order at each time point of administration, sequential administrations can be combined with concurrent administrations, or any combination thereof.

[0126] Optionally, the combination of a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib- 1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be further combined with an immunogenic agent, such as cancerous cells, purified tumor antigens (including recombinant proteins, peptides, and carbohydrate molecules), cells, and cells transfected with genes encoding immune stimulating cytokines.

[0127] A compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can also be further combined with standard cancer treatments. For example, a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be effectively combined with chemotherapeutic regimes. In these instances, it is possible to reduce the dose of other chemotherapeutic reagent administered with the combination of the instant disclosure (Mokyr et al. (1998) Cancer Research 58: 5301-5304). Other combination therapies with a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof include radiation, surgery, or hormone deprivation. Angiogenesis inhibitors can also be combined with a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof. Inhibition of angiogenesis leads to tumor cell death, which can be a source of tumor antigen fed into host antigen presentation pathways.

[0128] In another example, a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be used in conjunction with anti-neoplastic antibodies. By way of example and not wishing to be bound by theory, treatment with an anti-cancer antibody or an anti-cancer antibody conjugated to a toxin can lead to cancer cell death (e.g., tumor cells) which would potentiate an immune response mediated by CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 or a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, a treatment of a hyperproliferative disease (e.g., a cancer tumor) can include an anti-cancer antibody in combination with a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof and anti-CTLA-4 and/or anti-PD-1 and/or anti-PD-L1 antibodies, concurrently or sequentially or any combination thereof, which can potentiate anti-tumor immune responses by the host. Other antibodies that can be used to activate host immune responsiveness can be further used in combination with a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof.

[0129] In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof can be combined with an anti-CD73 therapy, such as an anti-CD73 antibody.

[0130] In yet further embodiments, the compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ia-1), (Ia-2), (Ib-1) or (Ib-2), or a salt thereof is administered in combination with another Wee1 inhibitor.

Example B1. WEE1 IC50 Determination

[0170] IC50 values of the compounds against WEE1 kinase enzyme were determined by LanthaScreen™ Terbium Labeled TR-FRET assay. Kinase assays were performed in 1X kinase buffer (#PV6135, Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) where total reaction volume was 10 µL in low-volume 384-well plates (#4511,Corning). Serially diluted compounds (3-fold) were incubated with WEE1 Enzyme (1nM) (#PR7373A, Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for 10 min; a mixture of ATP (10 µM) (#A1852, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and fluorescent-PolyGT substrate (200 nM) (#PV3610, Invitrogen, Life

Technologies, Grand Island, NY) was added and incubated in dark at room temperature for 1 h. After 1 h, 10 µL stop solution containing terbium labeled antibody (4 nM) (#PV3529, Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and EDTA (#E5134, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) (20 mM) in TR-FRET dilution buffer (#PV3574, Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) were added. Readings were taken in a Synergy Neo plate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT) at single excitation of 340 nm and dual emission at 495 nm and 520 nm respectively.

[0171] The % activity of test samples was calculated as (Sample– Min)*100/(Max– Min). [Max: DMSO control, complete reaction with enzyme & DMSO and Min: No enzyme & DMSO]. Percent inhibition (100–% activity) was fitted to the“four-parameter logistic model” in XLfit for determination of IC50 values. The results are shown in Table 2.

Example B2. PKMYT1 IC50 Determination

[0172] Inhibition of PKMYT1 kinase activity by test compounds is measured by the HotSpot Kinase Assay at Reaction Biology Corporation (Malvern, PA). Briefly, Myelin Basic Protein substrate is prepared in Reaction Buffer (20 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.01% Brij35, 0.02 mg/mL BSA, 0.1 mM Na3VO4, 2 mM DTT, 1% DMSO). PKMYT1 kinase is delivered into the substrate solution and gently mixed. Test compounds in 100% DMSO are added into the kinase reaction mixture by Acoustic technology (Echo550; nanoliter range) and incubated for 20 min at room temperature.³³P- ATP is delivered into the reaction mixture to initiate the reaction. Reactions are carried out at 10 ^M ATP. After a 2 hour incubation at room temperature, kinase activity is detected by P81 filter-binding method. Compounds are tested in 10-dose IC₅₀ mode with a 3-fold serial dilution. A nonlinear regression model with a sigmoidal dose response and variable slope within GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA) is used to calculate the IC₅₀ value of individual test compounds.

Example B3. Determination of potency of compounds in cytotoxicity assay in A427 cell line

[0173] A427 (HTB-53; ATCC), a lung epithelial cell line, was seeded in medium (MEM, 41090101; Gibco) at a cell count of 1500 cells per 100 ^L per well in a 96 well edge plate (167425; ThermoFisher). Cells were allowed to grow at 37 °C for 24 hr in 5% CO2 environment (culture conditions) in a Nuaire incubator (humidified). Serially diluted test compounds (100 ^L) within the desired testing concentration ranges were added to the culture plate and the cells further incubated in culture conditions for 72 hr. The experiment was terminated at the designated incubation time by replacing the medium with 100 ^L of 1 mM of resazurin (R7017; Sigma) prepared in culture medium, and the plates were further incubated in culture conditions for 4-6 hr. Fluorescence was recorded using a multimodal plate reader (Biotek Synergy Neo) at an excitation wavelength of 535 nm and emission wavelength of 590 nm to obtain relative fluorescence units. Data were analysed as follows: the background fluorescence (blank containing only medium) value was subtracted from each reading and normalized with the vehicle control (DMSO treated cells) to obtain percent survival/proliferation. Percent survival was subtracted from 100 to get the percent inhibition of proliferation which was used to calculate IC50 values. The results are shown in Table 3. Potency of compounds in other cell lines (such as A549, As-Pc-1, Panc-10.05, MDA-MB- 231, A172, U-87MG) may be determined in an analogous manner. The results are shown in Table 3.

Example B4. Determination of potency of compounds in cell proliferation assay in selected cancer cell lines and cellular PD effects. [0174] The effects of test compounds are studied in additional cell lines with various histotypes, such as LoVo colorectal adenocarcinoma, NCI-H460 large-cell lung carcinoma, HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma, and A2780 ovarian cancer cells. The cancer cells are harvested during the logarithmic growth period and counted. Cell concentrations are adjusted to the appropriate number with suitable medium, and 90 ^L cell suspensions are added to 96- well plates. After cells are seeded, the plates are shaken gently to distribute cells evenly and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 on day 1.

[0175] Cells are treated with test compounds at 9 concentrations within a desired concentration range (e.g.1.5 nM– 10 µM) on day 2 by series diluting the test compound stock solution (10 mM in DMSO) with culture medium. Cell viability is assessed by Cell Titer-Glo® as recommended by Promega (Cat. No.: G7572, Promega) typically 72 hrs post- treatment.

[0176] Cell viability data are plotted using GraphPad Prism (version 5, GraphPad Software, Inc., San Diego, CA). In addition, a nonlinear regression model with a sigmoidal dose response and variable slope within GraphPad Prism is used to calculate the IC₅₀ value of individual test compounds.

[0177] Test compounds may be studied in the same and/or other cancer cell lines with varying sensitivities to reported Wee1 inhibiting compounds using similar proliferation methods with possible variations in cell seeding densities and/or incubation durations.

Example B5. Determination of potency of compounds by assay of cellular PD effects.

[0178] pCDC2 and g-H2AX are two clinically relevant biomarkers associated with Wee1 inhibition. CDC2Y15 phosphorylation in cells was reported to be abolished by Wee1 inhibitors (Gavory G et. al., Almac Discovery, AACR poster, 2016). g-H2AX, a DNA double-strand break marker, was upregulated by Wee1 treatment in Wee1 senstive cell lines (Guertin AD et al., Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 2013). The effects of selected test compounds on pCDC2 and g-H2AX are assessed in selected cancer cell lines post 24 or 48 hr treatment using Western blotting methods with selective antibodies (Guertin AD et al., Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, 2013).

[0179] Changes in the levels of phospho-CDC2 following treatment of cells with test compounds are assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or Western blotting. A427 cells (or other suitable cell line) are plated in 6-well plates and cultured for 24 hr to approximately 80-90% confluency. Medium is replaced, and the cells are treated with the vehicle control or the test compound at several different concentrations. After incubation of treated cells in cell culture conditions for a specified time (e.g., 24 hr), cells are rinsed with ice-cold PBS and lysed in 1X cell lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors. The cells are scraped from the plate with a cell scraper after a brief incubation on ice and transferred to a centrifuge tube, and then subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles in liquid nitrogen and a 37°C water bath for further lysis. The lysates are centrifuged to pellet cell debris (using, for example, a 10 min centrifugation of 2000 X g at 4°C) and the supernatants transferred to fresh tubes on ice. The protein concentrations of the samples are estimated by the Bradford method or equivalent. The ELISA is carried out with the

PathScan® Phospho-CDC2 (Tyr15) Sandwich ELISA Kit (Cat. #7176, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) or similar product according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Changes in the levels of phospho-CDC2 may alternatively or additionally be analyzed by Western blotting of the samples using a primary antibody to phospho-CDC2 such as phospho-CDC2 (Tyr15) (10A11) rabbit mAb (Cat. #4539, Cell Signaling Technology) or rabbit polyclonal anti-CDK1 (phospho Y15) antibody (Cat. #ab47594, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom).

Example B6. Evaluation of test compound in mouse xenograft models

[0180] To examine the in vivo antitumor activity of test compound (as a single agent and in combination with other agents such as gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel and temozolomide), tumor growth experiments are performed in a cell line xenograft model and/or a PDX model. The cell line is chosen based on the in vitro studies described above. The PDX model to be used is established from a tumor taken directly from a patient with, for example, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) or glioblastoma.

[0181] Cells or tumor chucks are implanted subcutaneously into the flanks of nude mice and allowed to grow until the tumor size reaches 200 mm³. Tumors are measured using a caliper and tumor volumes calculated using the formula: Tumor volume = (a x b²/2) where ‘b’ is the smallest diameter and‘a’ is the largest diameter. Once the established tumors reach approximately 200 mm³, the mice are then stratified into treatment groups. The treatment groups are, for example: vehicle control, gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, test compound alone, gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel + test compound at 10 mice per group. The treatment groups are alternatively, for example: vehicle control, temozolomide, test compound alone, temozolomide + test compound. The exact treatment groups, drug dose, and dosing schedule are determined specifically for each study according to standard practice. Tumor growth is monitored, and volume recorded at regular intervals. When the individual tumor of each mouse reaches an approximate end-point (tumor volume >1,500 mm³), the mouse is sacrificed with regulated CO₂. The tumor growth inhibition (TGI) is calculated by comparing the control group’s tumor measurements with the other study groups once the predetermined endpoint is reached in the control group. Alternatively, cells are implanted orthotopically and overall survival is measured.

[0182] Although the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that certain minor changes and modifications will be practiced in light of the above teaching. Therefore, the description and examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
