FIELD

[0002] The present technology is directed to compounds, compositions, and methods related to antagonizing inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (LAPs), including host cell lAPs (cIAPs). In particular, the present compounds and compositions may he used to treat various cancers, including, e.g., ovarian cancer and chronic hepatitis B infections.

BACKGROUN D

[0003] Apoptosis, also referred as programmed cell death, is a critical and highly regulated cell process that occurs in multicellular organisms, and apoptosis dysfunction is a hallmark of human cancers. Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (lAPs), such as cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 and 2 (cIAPl and cIAP2) and X- linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XLAP), have been identified as attractive targets for a new class of cancer therapy.

[0004] In 2015, Pellegrinia etc. (PNAS, 2015, 112(18), 5803-5808) demonstrated that the clinical-stage drug birinapant, which antagonizes host cell inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (cIAPs), promotes the killing of HBV- infected hepatocytes in a mouse model of HBV. Therefore, antagonists of cIAPs may also be efficacious in fire treatment of chronic HB V infection and may promote elimination of virus.

[0010] The following terms are used throughout as defined below.

[0011] As used herein and in the appended claims, singular articles such as“a” and“an” and “the” and similar referents in the context of describing the elements (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. Recitation of ranges of values herein are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. All methods described herein can be performed in any suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of any and all examples, or exemplary language (e.g, “such as”) provided herein, is intended merely to better illuminate the embodiments and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the claims unless otherwise stated. No language in the specification should be constared as indicating any non- claimed element as essential.

[0012] As used herein, “about” will be understood by persons of ordinary sk in the art and will vary to some extent depending upon the context in which it is used if there are uses of the term which are not clear to persons of ordinary skill in the art, given the context in which it is used,“about” will mean up to plus or minus 10% of the particular term.

[0030] Garb on- containing groups described herein having two or more points of attachment ( i.e., divalent, trivale nt, or polyvalent) within a compound of the present technology are designated by use of the suffix, “ene” For example, divalent alkyl groups are alkylene groups, divalent heteroalkyl groups are heteroalky lene, divalent aryl groups are aryiene groups, divalent heteroaryl groups are divalent heteroarylene groups, and so forth. Such divalent groups may also be substituted with one or more substituents, e.g , with one ortwo substituents. In any embodiments, the substiuent is an oxo group and may, for example provide a divalent group with one or two ketones, esters, or amides, depending on whether the carbon adjacent to a heteroatom is substituted with the oxo group. The heteroatom may also have chemically permissible substituents. For example, a suitur atom may be substituted with one or two oxo groups to form a sulfoxide or a sultone. However, substituted groups having a single point of attachment to the compound of the present technology are not referred to using the“ene” designation. Thus, e.g., chloroethyl is not referred to herein as chloroethylene. Cyclic groups that also have acyclic (i.e., linear or branched) portion(s) such as aralkylene, arylheteroalkylene, hetercyciylalkylene, etc., may have attachment points solely on the acyclic portions or on both the cyclic and acyclic portioas. For example, a divalent heterocyciylheteroalkylene such as the following groups,

atachment point on the heteroalky lene portion and another on the heterocyciyl portion. A divalent cylic group substituted with acyclic groups but having both attachment points on the ring system is a substituted cyclic ene. For example, a 2-methyl phenyl group bearing attachment points at positions 1 and 4 is an ary!ene, not an aralkylene.

[0031] Alkoxy groups are hydroxyl groups (-OH) in which the bond to the hydrogen atom is replaced by a bond to a carbon atom of a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group as defined above.

Assay Protocol

[0269] IAPS are one main cause of cancer development and may result from overexpression of anti-apoptotic proteins. This protocol establishes three binding assays for XIAP Bir3 domain, cIAPl and cIAP2 using FP (fluorescence polarization) technology. The fluorescence probe used is a synthetic peptide conjugated to 5-carboxyfluorescein (AbuRPFK~5FAM). Tire fluorescence polarization value (mP) was detected by Envision, which was used to reflect the binding degree of protein and fluorescent marker.
