BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] In eukaryotes, protein degradation is mediated through the ubiquitin pathway in which proteins targeted for destruction are ligated to the 76 amino acid polypeptide ubiquitin. Ubiquitinated proteins then serve as substrates for the 26S proteasome, a multicatalytic protease, which cleaves proteins into short peptides through the action of its three major proteolytic activities. Proteasome-mediated degradation plays a key role in many processes such as antigen presentation in the context of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I, apoptosis and cell viability, antigen processing, NF-KB activation, and transduction of pro-inflammatory signals.

[0003] The 20S proteasome is a 700 kDa cylinder-shaped multi-catalytic protease complex comprised of 28 subunits, classified as alpha- and beta-type, that are arranged in 4 stacked heptameric rings. In yeast and other eukaryotes, 7 different subunits form the outer rings and 7 different subunits comprise the inner rings. The alpha subunits serve as binding sites for the 19S and 11S regulatory complexes, as well as a physical barrier for the inner proteolytic chamber formed by the two subunit rings. Thus, in vivo, the proteasome is believed to exist as a 26S particle. In vivo experiments have shown that inhibition of the 20S form of the proteasome can be readily correlated to inhibition of the 26S proteasome.

[0004] In addition to the constitutive proteasome, which is ubiquitously expressed, there is an alternative complex, the immunoproteasome, which can be found in immune cells and/or in cells exposed to inflammatory cytokines, such as IFN-g and TNF-a. The immunoproteasome differs from the constitutive proteasome in its subunit composition. It contains subunits with chymotrypsin-like ( 5i/LMP7), caspase-like (b 1 i/LMP2) and trypsin-like (b2ί) protease activity that replace their counterparts in the constitutive proteasome (b5o, b 1 c, and b2o respectively). When all three IFN-g- inducible subunits are present, the proteasome is referred to as the “immunoproteasome.” Thus, eukaryotic cells can possess two forms of proteasomes in varying ratios. The immunoproteasome plays an essential role in the generation of antigenic peptide repertoire and shaping MHC class I restricted CD8+ T cell response (see Basler et al. Immunoproteasomes down-regulate presentation of a subdominant T cell epitope from lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. J Immunol 173:3925-3934 (2004); Moebius, J., M. et al. 2010. Immunoproteasomes are essential for survival and expansion of T cells in virus- infected mice. Eur J Immunol 40:3439-3449).

[0005] The immunoproteasome function is not only limited to MHC class I presentation, but it is also involved in a number of pathological disorders including hematological malignancies, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The commercially available proteasome inhibitors Bortezomib and Carfilzomib, which have been validated in multiple myeloma and other diseases, appear to target both the constitutive and immunoproteasomes indiscriminately. This lack of specificity may, in part, explain some of the side effects of these agents. It may, however, be possible to keep the therapeutic efficacies (such as antilymphoma and antimyeloma efficacies) of these immunoproteasomes unchanged, and at the same time, increase the therapeutic index, by selectively targeting the immunoproteasome. Therefore, inhibitors which selectively inhibit the immunoproteasome are of interest.

[0006] EMR7/b5ί is an essential subunit of the immunoproteasome. It regulates inflammatory cytokine production and immune cell functions beyond its role in the generation of MHC class I-restricted epitopes. A small molecule LMP7 inhibitor, PR-957, has been shown to potently block both human and mouse Thl/17 differentiation (see Muchamuel, T., et al. 2009. A selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 blocks cytokine production and attenuates progression of experimental arthritis. Nat Med 15:781-787; Kalim, K. W., et al. 2012. Immunoproteasome Subunit LMP7 Deficiency and Inhibition Suppresses Thl and Thl7 but Enhances Regulatory T Cell Differentiation. J. Immunol. 189:4182-4293) and B cell effector functions and production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-a, IL-23) (see Basler, M., et al. 2010. Prevention of experimental colitis by a selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome. J Immunol 185:634-641). In addition, LMP7 inhibition with PR-957 has been demonstrated to produce therapeutic benefits in several preclinical autoimmune disease models. For example, PR-957 was shown to significantly inhibit disease activity in murine collagen-induced arthritis, including significant reduction of inflammation and bone erosion (see Muchamuel, T., et al. 2009. A selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome subunit LMP7 blocks cytokine production and attenuates progression of experimental arthritis. Nat Med 15:781-787). PR-957 also reduced plasma cell numbers and anti-dsDNA IgG levels in the MRL/lpr lupus model, and prevented disease progression (see Ichikawa, H. T., et al. 2012. Beneficial effect of novel proteasome inhibitors in murine lupus via dual inhibition of type I interferon and autoantibody-secreting cells. Arthritis Rheum 64:493-503). In addition, PR-957 reduced inflammation and tissue destruction in a murine DSS-induced colitis model (see Basler, M., et al. 2010. Prevention of experimental colitis by a selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome. J Immunol 185:634- 641). Also, PR-957 has been shown to be efficacious in an autoantibody-driven Hashimoto’s thyroiditis model (see Nagayama, Y., et al. 2012. Prophylactic and therapeutic efficacies of a selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but not for Graves' hyperthyroidism, in mice. Clin Exp Immunol. 168:268-273). In addition, LMP7 knockout mice are protected from disease in IBD models (see Basler, M., et al. 2010. Prevention of experimental colitis by a selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome. J Immunol. 185:634-641 ; Kalim, K. W., et al. 2012. Immunoproteasome Subunit LMP7 Deficiency and Inhibition Suppresses Thl and Thl7 but Enhances Regulatory T Cell Differentiation. J Immunol. 189:4182- 4293; Schmidt, N., et al. 2010. Targeting the proteasome: partial inhibition of the proteasome by bortezomib or deletion of the immunosubunit LMP7 attenuates experimental colitis. Gut 59:896-906). Additionally, inhibition of LMP7 with the selective inhibitor PR-924 has been shown to inhibit growth of multiple myeloma cell lines and primary patient tumor cells, including those resistant to conventional and novel prior therapies (see Singh, A. V., et al. 2011. PR-924, a Selective Inhibitor of the Immunoproteasome Subunit LMP-7, Blocks Multiple Myeloma Cell Growth both in Vitro and in Vivo. Br J Haematol. 2011 January ; 152(2): 155-163).

[0007] An additional immunoproteasome subunit LMP2/ ii has been shown to regulate antiviral and innate immune responses in addition to its contribution to antigen processing (see Hensley, S.E., et al. 2010. Unexpected role for the immunoproteasome subunit LMP2 in antiviral humoral and innate immune responses. J. Immunol 184:4115-4122). A small molecule inhibitor, ISPI-001, which preferentially targets LMP2/ ii, inhibited in vitro proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from myeloma patients (see Kuhn, D.J., et al. 2009. Targeted inhibition of the immunoproteasome is a potent strategy against models of multiple myeloma that overcomes resistance to conventional drugs and nonspecific immunoproteasome inhibitors. Blood 113:4667-4676). An additional small molecule inhibitor, UK-101, which selectively targets LMP2/ b li, induced apoptosis of an prostate PC-3 cell line in vitro and significantly suppressed tumor growth in vivo (Wehenkel, M., et al. 2012. A selective inhibitor of the immunoproteasome subunit LMP2 induced apoptosis in PC-3 cells and suppresses tumor growth in nude mice. Br J Cancer 107:53-62).

[0051] “Heterocyclyl” means a non-aromatic saturated monocyclic or multicyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic) ring system comprising 3 to 10 ring atoms, preferably 4 to 7 ring atoms, or 5 to 10 ring atoms, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is an element other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, alone or in combination. There are no adjacent oxygen and/or sulfur atoms present in the ring system. When the heterocyclyl is a multicyclic ring system, the rings can be connected in a fused, bridged or spiro manner. Preferred heterocyclyls contain 4 to 6 ring atoms. The prefix aza, oxa or thia before the heterocyclyl root name means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom respectively is present as a ring atom. Any -NH in a heterocyclyl ring may exist protected such as, for example, as an - N(Boc), -N(CBz), -N(Tos) group and the like; and are part of the heterocyclyl. “Optionally substituted heterocyclyl” means a heterocyclyl group which can be optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., one, two, three, or four)“ring system substituents” which may be the same or different, and are as defined herein. The nitrogen or sulfur atom of the heterocyclyl can be optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide, S-oxide or S,S-dioxide. Non-limiting examples of suitable monocyclic heterocyclyl rings include piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, thiomorpholinyl, thiazolidinyl, 1 ,4-dioxanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, lactam, lactone, and the like. “Heterocyclyl” also includes heterocyclyl rings as described above wherein =0 replaces two available hydrogens on the same ring carbon atom.

[0052] “Heterocyclenyl” means a non-aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic (e.g., bicyclic, tricyclic) ring system comprising 3 to 10 ring atoms, preferably 5 to 10 ring atoms, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is an element other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom, alone or in combination, and which contains at least one carbon-carbon double bond or carbon- nitrogen double bond. There are no adjacent oxygen and/or sulfur atoms present in the ring system. When the heterocyclenyl is a multicyclic ring system, the rings can be connected in a fused, bridged or spiro manner. Preferred heterocyclenyl rings contain 5 to 6 ring atoms. The prefix aza, oxa or thia before the heterocyclenyl root name means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur atom respectively is present as a ring atom.“Optionally substituted heterocyclenyl” means a heterocyclenyl group which can be optionally substituted by one or more (e.g., one, two, three, or four) ring system substituents, wherein“ring system substituent” is as defined above. The nitrogen or sulfur atom of the heterocyclenyl can be optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide, S-oxide or S,S-dioxide. Non-limiting examples of suitable heterocyclenyl groups include 1,2, 3, 4- tetrahydropyridinyl, 1 ,2-dihydropyridinyl, 1 ,4-dihydropyridinyl, l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridinyl, l,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidinyl, 2-pyrrolinyl, 3-pyrrolinyl, 2-imidazolinyl, 2- pyrazolinyl, dihydroimidazolyl, dihydrooxazolyl, dihydrooxadiazolyl, dihydrothiazolyl, 3,4-dihydro-2H- pyranyl, dihydrofuranyl, fluorodihydrofuranyl, 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptenyl, dihydrothiophenyl, dihydrothiopyranyl, and the like.“Heterocyclenyl” also includes heterocyclenyl rings as described above wherein =0 replaces two available hydrogens on the same ring carbon atom.

[0053] It should be noted that in hetero-atom containing ring systems described herein, there are no hydroxyl groups on carbon atoms adjacent to a N, O or S, as well as there are no N or S groups on carbon adjacent to another heteroatom. Thus, for example, in the ring:

there is no -OH attached directly to carbons marked 2 and 5.

[0054] It should also be noted that tautomeric forms such as, for example, the moieties:

are considered equivalent unless otherwise specified.

[0055] As used herein, the structure

indicates that the configuration of groups on the double bond can be either E (trans) or Z (cis). Thus, for example,

has the same meaning as

[0056] The term“substituted” means that one or more hydrogens on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom’ s normal valency under the existing circumstances is not exceeded, and that the substitution results in a stable compound. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds. By“stable compound’ or“stable structure” is meant a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

[0057] The term“optionally substituted” means optional substitution (i.e., unsubstituted or substituted) with the specified groups, radicals or moieties. When a list of optional substituents is not explicitly provided, the optional substituents provided in the definitions of various terms (such as“alkyl”, “cycloalkyl”,“heterocyclyl”,“aryl”, and“heteroaryl”) are to be used.

[0058] Unless otherwise specified, reference to an Embodiment number refers to all the subparts of the Embodiment. Thus for example, reference to“Embodiment 12”, refers to Embodiment 12, as well as Embodiments 12A-12D. However, this construction does not apply to a subpart within an Embodiment. Thus, for example, reference to“Embodiment 4” in Embodiment 4C refers only to “Embodiment 4” and not to each of“Embodiments 4, 4A, and 4B” unless specified otherwise”.

[0059] As used herein, the term“composition” is intended to encompass a product comprising the specified ingredients in the specified amounts, as well as any product which results, directly or indirectly, from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts.

[0060] “Effective amount” or“therapeutically effective amount” is meant to describe an amount of compound or a composition described herein that is effective in inhibiting the above-noted diseases and thus producing the desired therapeutic, ameliorative, inhibitory and/or preventative effect.

[0181] The compounds of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) can form salts. Reference to a compound of Formula (I) herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. The term“salt(s)”, as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. In addition, when a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) contains both a basic moiety, such as, but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety, such as, but not limited to a carboxylic acid, zwitterions (“inner salts”) may be formed and are included within the term“salt(s)” as used herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful. Salts of the compounds of the Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula (I) with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

[0182] Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartrates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates), and the like. Additional exemplary acids are those generally considered suitable for the formation of pharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds, and are discussed, for example, by P. Stahl et al, Camille G. (eds.) Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use. (2002) Zurich: Wiley-VCH; S. Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66(1) 1-19; P. Gould, International J. of Pharmaceutics (1986) 33 201- 217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996), Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & Drug Administration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference thereto.

[0183] Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as dicyclohexylamines, t-butyl amines, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quarternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g. methyl, ethyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl, diethyl, and dibutyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g. decyl, lauryl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), aralkyl halides (e.g. benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.

[0184] All such acid salts and base salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds (for example, a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e))).

[0185] Compounds described herein may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of a compound describe herein (such as a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e))) as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the described compound. In addition, all geometric and positional isomers are included in a compound described herein. For example, if a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced.

[0186] Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher’s acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of chiral HPLC column. Also, some of the compounds of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of Formula (I).

[0187] It is also possible that compounds described herein (for example, a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e))) may exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds described herein are included.

[0188] All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the compounds described herein (including those of the salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the compounds described herein, as are positional isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyl and 3-pyridyl). (For example, if a compound of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e))) incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures) are embraced. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds described herein, for example, may be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms“salt”,“solvate”,“ester”,“prodrug” and the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate, ester and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, positional isomers, racemates or prodrugs of the compounds described herein.

[0189] Isotopically-labelled compounds of the compounds described herein which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature are also embraced. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds described herein include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine and iodine, such as ² H, ³ H, ⁿ C, ¹³ C, ¹⁴ C, ¹⁵ N, ¹⁸ 0, ¹⁷ 0, ³¹ P, ³² P, ³⁵ S, ¹⁸ F, ³⁶ Cl and ¹²³ I, respectively.

[0190] Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) (e.g., those labeled with ³ H and ¹⁴ C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., ³ H) and carbon-l4 (i.e., ¹⁴ C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) can be useful for medical imaging purposes, for example, those labeled with positron- emitting isotopes like ⁿ C or ¹⁸ F can be useful for application in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and those labeled with gamma ray emitting isotopes like ¹²³ I can be useful for application in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ² H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ² H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements), and hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. Additionally, isotopic substitution at a site where epimerization occurs may slow or reduce the epimerization process and thereby retain the more active or efficacious form of the compound for a longer period of time. Isotopically labeled compounds of Formula (I), (G), (1(a)), (1(b)), (1(c), 1(d), and 1(e)) , in particular those containing isotopes with longer half-lives (ti >1 day), can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples herein below, by substituting an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

Utility

[0204] Given the evidence that immunoproteasomes (e.g., LMP-2 and/or LMP-7) are important in the regulation of various immune responses and the selective expression of LMP-2 and/or LMP-7 in tissues that contain the immunoproteasome, inhibitors of LMP-2 and/or LMP-7 can be used for the treatment of autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune disorders are characterized by inappropriate reaction of the immune system to the host’s healthy organs and tissues. Examples of autoimmune disorders that could be treated with an LMP-2 and/or LMP-7 inhibitors include but are not limited to lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, ankylosing spondylitis, dermatomyositis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease (such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease). Another example of an autoimmune disease is Sjogren's Syndrome (SS), which is characterized by infiltration and focal accumulation of lymphocytes in the exocrine glands. It has been shown that there is a significant up- regulation of LMP7 in the salivary glands of Sjogren’s patients (see Egerer et al, 2006. Tissue-specific up-regulation of the proteasome subunit beta5i (LMP7) in Sjogren's syndrome. Arthritis Rheum 54:1501- 8). Thus, treatment of SS patients with an immunoproteasome inhibitor can mitigate the symptoms of the disease. In addition to autoimmune diseases, tissue/organ transplant rejection occurs when the immune system attacks therapeutic cells that are introduced to the host's body. Graft versus host disease (GVHD), resulting from allogenic transplantation, arises when the immune cells from the donor tissue attack the host's tissues. Therefore, GVHD is another potential utility of treatment with an immunoproteasome inhibitor.

[0205] In addition to autoimmune diseases, immunoproteasome inhibitors can be used in circumstances when chronic or acute inflammation leads to tissue damage or loss of function. Proteasome inhibitors have been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity (see Elliot et al. Proteasome inhibition: a new anti-inflammatory strategy. 2003, J Mol Med. 81:235-245). Examples of inflammatory diseases in which treatment with an immunoproteasome inhibitor may have utility include acute conditions (e.g., bronchitis, conjunctivitis, pancreatitis) and chronic conditions (e.g., chronic cholecstitis, he p ati ti s , bronchiectasis, aortic valve stenosis, restenosis, B eh9et’s disease , psoriasis and arthritis), along with conditions associated with inflam ation (such as fibrosis, infection and ischemia). Beh9et’s disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory multisystem disease of unknown etiology. Oral ulcers, genital ulcers, cutaneous lesions, and ocular and articular involvement are the most frequent features of the disease. Accordingly, immunoproteasome inhibitors may be used to treat one or more of oral ulcers, genital ulcers, cutaneous lesions, and ocular and articular involvement.

[0206] Upregulation of the immunoproteasome has been detected in response to cardiovascular inflammation potentially resulting in vascular cell apoptosis (see Zang et al. 2009. Cardiovascular inflammation and lesion cell apoptosis: a novel connection via the interferon-inducible immunoproteasome. Arterioscler Thromb Vase Biol. 29: 1213-1219), thus, providing utility in cardiovascular disease. Upregulation of the immunoproteasome has also been detected in liver biopsies of patients with chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis and steatohepatitis (see French, et al. The immunoproteasome in steatohepatitis: Its role in Mallory-Denk body formation. 2011, Experimental and Molecular Pathology 90: 252-256.), thus, providing utility in treating chronic liver inflammation. Another chronic inflammatory condition characterized by tissue damage is Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in which microglia, the resident macrophages in the brain, are stimulated to release various proinflammatory cytokines. Increased expression of the immunoproteasome has been found in brain tissue from AD patients compared to control elderly adults not exhibiting symptoms of dementia (see Mishto et al. Immunoproteasome and LMP2 polymorphism in aged and Alzheimer's disease brains. 2006. Neurobiol Aging 27:54-66). In addition, inclusion body myositis and myofibrilar myopathy are muscle diseases that show protein accumulation and increased immunoproteasome expression (see Ferrer et al. 2004. Proteasomal expression, induction of immunoproteasome subunits and local MHC class I presentation in myofibrillar myopathy and inclusion body myositis. J Neuropathol Exp Neurol. 63:484-498). Therefore, treatment of AD patients or other neurodegenerative conditions (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington’s disease resulting from chronic inflammation in response to accumulation of protein aggregates) with an immunoproteasome inhibitor constitute additional potential utilities.

[0207] Duchene muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an inherited disease, characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. The disease is caused by a mutation of the DMD gene which leads to deficiency of dystrophin, a protein found throughout the cyctoplasmic face of the plasma membrane in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), a much milder allelic form of the disease, is caused by a reduction in the amount, or an alteration in the size, of the dystrophin protein. These diseases may also be treated by the presently disclosed immunoproteasome inhibitors.

[0208] Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are muscle diseases characterized by muscle weakness and specific inflammatory infiltrates in muscle. These diseases can be classified as polymyositis, sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), dermatomyositis (DM) and immune- mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM). These diseases may also be treated by the presently disclosed immunoproteasome inhibitors.

[0209] Targeted inhibition of immunoproteasome is also a potent strategy against models of multiple myeloma that overcome resistance to conventional drugs and nonspecific proteasome inhibitors. Accordingly multiple myeloma may also be treated by the presently disclosed immunoproteasome inhibitors.

Testing

[0210] The immunoproteasome inhibitory activity of the compounds described herein can be tested using the in vitro assays described in Biological Examples below. A determination of the immunoproteasome inhibitory activity by any of those assays is considered to be immunoproteasome inhibitory activity within the scope of this disclosure even if any or all of the other assays do not result in a determination of immunoproteasome inhibitory activity. The residence time of the compound immunoproteasome bound complexes can be tested using the Biological Example 5 and 6 below. The ability of the compounds described herein to form reversible covalent bond with the immunoproteasome can be determined by the assays described in Biological Examples 4-6 below.

[0211] Without being bound to any specific mechanistic theory, when a compound described herein forms a reversible covalent bond with a cysteine of the immunoproteasome, it is believed that the cysteine sulfhydryl group and a carbon atom forming part of the carbon-carbon double bond in the Y group of Formula (I) where R ² is a group of Formula (a) or (b) (see Formula (I)) can form a reversible, i.e., labile, covalent bond, defined herein, such as wherein Cys48 of FMP7 attacks an electron deficient carbon atom of the carbon-carbon double bond in the group of Formula (a) or (b) in the compound of Formula (I) to form a thiol adduct (e.g., Michael reaction with cysteine).

[0212] Furthermore, all the subunits of an immunoproteasome contain a catalytic threonine residue which can interact with the boronic acid/boronic esters through labile covalent binding (see for example Reem Smoum et al.,“Boron Containing Compounds as Protease Inhibitors”, Chemical Reviews, 2012, 112, 4156-4220.) In some embodiments, the electron deficient carbon atom of the olefin is distal to the carbon attached to the cyano group and to the electron withdrawing -X 'NR' R ⁷ or Het, moiety in the compounds described herein. Therefore, the combination of the cyano, a second electron withdrawing group and the olefinic moiety to which they are bonded in a compound described herein (for example, a compound of Formula (I)) can increase the reactivity of the olefin to form a thiol adduct with the active site cysteine residue in FMP7.

[0213] The compounds described herein can bind with the immunoproteasome in several different manners. In addition to the labile covalent binding, discussed above (with respect to the cysteine -SH group and the threonine -OH group), they also can form non-covalent binding (e.g., via van der Waals binding, hydrogen binding, hydrophobic binding, hydrophilic binding, and/or electrostatic charge binding) with the immunoproteasome, the non-covalent binding being sufficient to at least partially inhibit the kinase activity of the immunoproteasome

[0214] As disclosed herein, with regard to FMP7, one of the labile covalent bindings between compound described herein and the immunoproteasome occurs between the olefin mentioned above in the compound and the thiol (sulfydryl) residue of cysteine 48 of FMP7, at or near the site where the compound has the aforementioned non-covalent binding with the FMP7.

[0215] Therefore, a compound described herein, which form a reversible covalent with the immunoproteasome, can have both a cysteine-mediated covalent binding (in the case of FMP7) and threonine-mediated covalent binding (for all subunits of immunoproteasome) and a non-covalent binding. This is in contrast with non-covalent reversible inhibitors which inhibit the immunoproteasome only via non-covalent binding and lack the cysteine-mediated and/or the threonine -mediated covalent binding.

[0216] The result of the binding of a compound described herein (for example, a compound of Formula (I)) with the immunoproteasome in the several different manners as disclosed herein is a reversible covalent inhibitor having a slow off-rate and a protracted duration of action, in some instances comparable to an irreversible covalent inhibitor without forming permanent irreversible protein adducts. The difference between irreversible and reversible covalent inhibitors, particularly the compounds disclosed herein, can be ascertained utilizing assays disclosed herein.

[0217] In general, the binding involved in an inhibitor that forms a reversible covalent bond with the immunoproteasome, i.e., the compounds disclosed herein, is stable when the immunoproteasome/immunoproteasome subunit is in certain configurations and susceptible to being broken when the immunoproteasome/immunoproteasome subunit is in different configurations (in both cases under physiologic conditions), whereas the interaction between an inhibitor that forms an irreversible covalent bond is stable under physiologic conditions even when the immunoproteasome/immunoproteasome subunit is in different configurations.

[0218] A reversible covalent bond often imparts unique properties related to the residence time of the compound within the cysteine -containing and/or threonine-containing binding site. In this context, residence time refers to the temporal duration of the compound-target complex under different conditions (see Copeland RA, Pompliano DL, Meek TD. Drug-target residence time and its implications for lead optimization. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 5(9), 730-739 (2006)).

[0219] The presence of a reversible covalent bond in a reversible covalent inhibitor as disclosed herein can lead to an extended residence time when compared to a compound that does not form a covalent bond with the immunoproteasome/immunoproteasome subunit. In some embodiments disclosed herein, a compound described herein (for example, a compound of Formula (I)) that are reversible covalent inhibitors have a residence time of at least about 1 h. Residence time may be measured using wash-out assay in a biochemical or cellular environment (see Biological Examples 4-6 below.) A determination of the binding reversibility of the covalent bond between the cysteine residue and the olefinic bond (in the case of LMP7) and between the threonine residue and the boronic acid/ester (in the case of all immunoproteasome subunits) of the compounds described herein by any of the Biological Examples 4-6 below is considered to be binding reversibility within the scope of this disclosure even if one or the other method does not result in a determination of binding reversibility. Administration and Pharmaceutical Composition

[0220] In general, the compounds described herein will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. Therapeutically effective amounts of a compound described herein may range from about 0.01 to about 500 mg per kg patient body weight per day, which can be administered in single or multiple doses. A suitable dosage level may be from about 0.1 to about 250 mg/kg per day; about 0.5 to about 100 mg/kg per day. A suitable dosage level may be about 0.01 to about 250 mg/kg per day, about 0.05 to about 100 mg/kg per day, or about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg per day. Within this range the dosage can be about 0.05 to about 0.5, about 0.5 to about 5 or about 5 to about 50 mg/kg per day. For oral administration, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets containing about 1.0 to about 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient. The actual amount of the compound, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the patient, the potency of the compound being utilized, the route and form of administration, and other factors.

[0221] In general, compounds described herein will be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) or topical (e.g., application to skin) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen, which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions.

[0222] The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administration, formulations in the form of tablets, pills or capsules, including enteric coated or delayed release tablets, pills or capsules are preferred) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a cross! inked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability. [0223] The compositions are comprised of in general, a compound described herein) in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not adversely affect the therapeutic benefit of the compound. Such excipient may be any solid, liquid, semi-solid or, in the case of an aerosol composition, gaseous excipient that is generally available to one of skill in the art.

[0224] Solid pharmaceutical excipients include starch, cellulose, talc, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, sodium chloride, dried skim milk and the like. Liquid and semisolid excipients may be chosen from glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol and various oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc. Preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions, include water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and glycols.

[0225] Compressed gases may be used to disperse a compound described herein in aerosol form. Inert gases suitable for this purpose are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.

[0226] Other suitable pharmaceutical excipients and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, edited by E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Company, 20th ed., 2000).

[0227] The level of the compound in a formulation can vary within the full range employed by those skilled in the art. Typically, the formulation will contain, on a weight percent (wt %) basis, from about 0.01-99.99 wt % of a compound described based on the total formulation, with the balance being one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients. Preferably, the compound is present at a level of about 1-80 wt %.

[0228] A compound described herein may be used in combination with one or more other drugs in the treatment of diseases or conditions for which a compound described herein or the other drugs may have utility, where the combination of the drugs together are safer or more effective than either drug alone. Such other drug(s) may be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefore, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound described herein. When a compound described herein is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form containing such other drugs and a compound described herein is preferred. However, the combination therapy may also include therapies in which a compound described herein and one or more other drugs are administered on different overlapping schedules. It is also contemplated that when used in combination with one or more other active ingredients, a compound described herein and the other active ingredients may be used in lower doses than when each is used singly.

[0229] Accordingly, a pharmaceutical composition described herein also can include those that contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound described herein. Synthetic Examples

[0631] Into a 500-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask containing tert-butyl acetate (30 g, 258.0 mmol, 1 equiv) and THF (120.0 mL) was added LDA (2M in THF) (129.0 mL, 129 mmol, 1 equiv) dropwise with stirring at -60 °C. The resulting solution was stirred for 30 min at -60 °C. To this was added cyclopentanone (18.0 g, 214.36 mmol, 0.83 equiv) dropwise with stirring at -60 °C. The resulting solution was allowed to stir for an additional 1 hr at -60 °C. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 20 mL of saturated aqueous NH4CI and allowed to warm to room temperature. The resulting mixture was partitioned between 150 mL ethyl acetate and 150 mL water. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to produce 30.0 g of tert-butyl 2-(l-hydroxycyclopentyl)acetate as a yellow liquid.

Step 2

[0632] Into a lOOO-mL round-bottom flask containing tert-butyl 2-(l-hydroxycyclopentyl) acetate (30.0 g, 149.79 mmol, 1 equiv) and THF (300 mL) at 0 °C was added L1AIH4 (17.06 g, 449.49 mmol, 3.0 equiv). The resulting solution was allowed to warm and stir at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 17.0 mL water, 17.0 mL l5%NaOH, and 51.0 mL water. The solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to produce 12 g of 1- (2-hydroxyethyl)cyclopentan-l-ol as light yellow oil.

Step 3

The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 600 mL of water. The solids were removed by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with 3x400 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with sodium carbonate (aq.) (1x200 ml) and brine (1x200 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to produce 11.0 g of (R)-N-[(lE)-2-(l-hydroxycyclopentyl)ethylidene]-2-methylprop ane-2-sulfinamide as yellow oil.

Step 5

[0635] Into a 250-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed (R)-N-[(lE)-2-(l-hydroxycyclopentyl)ethylid ene]-2-methylpropane- 2-sulfinamide (8 g, 34.580 mmol, 1 equiv), DCM (100 mL), and 2,6-dimethylpyridine (7.41 g, 69.152 mmol, 2.00 equiv). The reaction was cooled to 0 °C and tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (13.71 g, 51.867 mmol, 1.50 equiv) was added dropwise with stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 100 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 3x100 mL of dichlorome thane. The organic layers were combined, washed with saturated brine (1x100 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to produce 6.0 g of (R)-N- [( 1 E)-2- [ 1 -[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy] cyclopentyl] ethylidene] -2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide as light yellow oil.

Step 6

[0636] Into a lOO-mL round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed PCy -HBF (233.75 mg, 0.635 mmol, 0.10 equiv), toluene (1.65 mL), CuSCh (50.6 mg, 0.317 mmol, 0.05 equiv), and BnNPL (0.347 mL, 0.05 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 10 min. at room temperature after which was added a solution of (R)-N-[(lE)-2-[l-[(tert- butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]cyclopentyl]ethylidene]-2-methylpropa ne-2-sulfinamide (2.2 g, 6.36 mmol, 1 equiv) and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborola n-2-yl)-l,3,2-dioxaborolane (3.245 g, 12.779 mmol, 2.01 equiv) in toluene (13.75 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature after which it was washed with 1x100 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 100 mL of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated. This produced 2.2 g (crude) of (R)-N-[(lR)-2-[l-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]cyclopentyl]- l-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)ethyl]-2-meth ylpropane-2-sulfinamide as light yellow oil.

For LMP2, serial dilutions of test compounds were incubated with human recombinant immunoproteasome proteasome (0.3 nM enzyme) and a carboxyfluorescein (FAM)-labeled peptide substrate FAM-GLTNIKTEEISEVNLDAEFRK-NH2 (1 pM) at rt for 2 h. The reaction was then terminated with a buffer containing the known proteasome inhibitor ixazomib at a concentration of 6.7 uM. The reaction buffer was 20 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 0.01% bovine serum albumin, 0.015% SDS, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1% DMSO. The peptide cleavage reaction product was quantified on a Caliper LabChip 3000. Percent inhibition was calculated for each compound dilution and the concentration that produced 50% inhibition was calculated. This value is presented as the IC50.

Inhibition of proteasome activity cells

[0666] The cell-based effects of a compound described herein on the immunoproteasome were determined by measuring inhibition of proteasome activity in cells using the Proteasome-Glo™ Cell-Based Reagent (Promega, Madison WI). The Proteasome-Glo™ assay contains a specific luminogenic proteasome substrate in a buffer optimized for cell permeabilization, proteasome activity, and luciferase activity. For the chymotrypsin-like activity (LMP7 and b5e), the peptide substrate is Suc-LLVY- aminoluciferin (Succinyl-leucine-leucine-valine-tyrosine-aminoluciferin). Cleavage of the substrate by proteasome results in luminescent signal which is proportional to the proteasome activity. The cell line THP-l (a monocytic leukemia cell line enriched in immunoproteasome), the cell line HT-29 (a colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line enriched in constitutive proteasome), and primary human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were used to assess proteasome activity. Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate at 10,000 cells per well in RPMI 1640 high glucose medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Compound dilutions were added to cells starting at a concentration of 5 uM and decreasing in tripling dilutions. The final DMSO concentration was 1%. The concentration range was adjusted as needed for compounds of different potencies. The cells treated with compounds were incubated for 2 h at 37°C in 5% CO2. At the end of the 2 hour incubation period, cells were transferred to white 384 well assay plates. 20 uL of Proteasome-Glo™ Reagent was added to each well and incubated for 10 minutes at rt. The plate was read in the Analyst HT instrument (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA) using luminescence mode. The percent inhibition of activity was plotted as a function of log compound concentration. The IC50 was then calculated for each compound using Prism software from GraphPad Software Inc. (San Diego, CA).

IL-2 production in anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 stimulated human PBMCs

[0667] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from human whole blood were preincubated with or without the test compounds in RPMI 1640 + 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C for 30 min. PBMCs were stimulated with 2.5 ug/mL plate bound anti-CD3 and 1 ug/mL soluble anti-CD28 overnight and supernatant was collected for AlphaLISA IL2 assay. The IL-2 production was measured as AlphaLISA (Perkin Elmer) signal counts using Envision plate reader. Human Blood was obtained from healthy volunteer through Stanford Blood Center. Blood was collected by venipuncture into sodium heparin tubes. Blood was layered over Ficoll-Histopaque in 50 mL conical tube and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes at rt. Mononuclear cells were collected into 50 mL conical tubes, pooled and diluted with IX PBS to make up final volume to 50 mL in each tube. Cells were pelleted at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes and cells are washed two times. The cells were counted in Vi-Cell using trypan blue to determine cell number and viability. PBMCs were then resuspended in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal bovine serum at a concentration 1 x 106 cells/mL. [0668] A 96-well polystyrene plate was coated with 2.5 ug/mL anti-CD3 in PBS overnight at 4 °C. The wells in column one were coated with PBS only for unstimulated controls. Test compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in 100% DMSO and 1 :3 serial dilutions of compounds were prepared in DMSO. The compounds were further diluted in RPMI with 10% fetal bovine serum medium to make final DMSO 0.2% in 96-well polypropylene plate. To treat PBMC with compounds, 100 uL of 1x105 cells were cultured in 96-well polypropylene plate. Then 8 uL of each diluted compound was added in the corresponding wells in duplicate and 8 uL of medium with 2.5% DMSO was added to control wells. The plates were incubated at 37°C incubator for 30 min. The anti-CD3 coated plates were washed with PBS twice. 92 uL of media containing 1 ug/mL anti-CD28 were added to all wells except unstimulated controls. In unstimulated wells, 92uL medium was added. Plates were incubated overnight at 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator.

[0669] The next day, 150 uL of supernatant was removed from each well for AlphaLISA IL2 assay. According to manufacturer’s protocol (Perkin Elmer), IX buffer, IL2 standards (10 cone.), 2.5X acceptor plus biotinylated beads mixture, 2X streptavidin donor beads were prepared. To each well, 2.5 uL standards or samples were added and then 10 uL of 2.5X beads were added to each well. The plate was sealed with aluminum plate sealer and incubated at room temp on shaker for 1 h. 12.5 uL of streptavidin donor beads were added to each well in dark room. The plate was sealed with aluminum plate sealer and incubated at room temp on shaker for 30 min. The plate was read in an Envision plate reader.

[0670] The IC50 for each compound was determined from a ten-point dose response curve for all compounds, each dose being tested in duplicate wells. The IC50 represents the concentration of a compound that shows 50% inhibition of IL-2 production in response to anti-CD3+anti-CD28 stimulated PBMCs with compound to 50% of that in control wells without compounds, and was calculated using curve fitting software (Graphpad Prism, San Diego, CA).

Recovery of enzymatic activity upon dialysis

[0671] The dialysis assay was done to determine if a compound binds reversibly or irreversibly to immunoproteasome thereby resulting in reversible or irreversible inhibition of proteasome activity. Compounds exhibiting an irreversible mode of binding will demonstrate no significant return of enzymatic activity following extensive dialysis. Partial or complete recovery of proteasome activity over extended periods of time during dialysis is indicative of slow off-rate kinetics due to formation of a reversible covalent bond. For rapidly reversible compounds complete recovery of proteasome activity upon dialysis should be observed.

[0672] A solution containing immunoproteasome was incubated with a compound described herein (test compound) or (S)-4-methyl-N-((S)-l-(((S)-4-methyl-l-((R)-2-methyloxiran-2 -yl)-l- oxopentan-2-yl)amino)-l-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)-2-((S)-2-(2 -morpholino-acetamido)-4- phenylbutanamido)-pentanamide (reference compound), an irreversible covalent inhibitor of the immunoproteasome which targets the catalytic threonine of the immunoproteasome subunits (see Kuhn, D. J., et al. 2007. Potent activity of carfilzomib, a novel, irreversible inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, against preclinical models of multiple myeloma. Blood, 110(9), 3281-3290). Following pre incubation, the solution containing immunoproteasome and the test compound or reference compound was dialyzed at rt in a buffer of 50 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, 5 mM magnesium chloride, 1 mM dithiothreitol, and 0.01% Triton X-100 for 1 day, 2 days, and 3 days with a change of dialysis buffer twice daily. Following dialysis, enzymatic activity was measured using the Caliper-based proteasome activity assay (Caliper Life Sciences, Hopkinton, MA). The level of activity of solution with test or reference compound was compared to control samples (i.e., proteasome solution with no inhibitor) also dialyzed for 1 day, 2 days, and 3 days with a change of dialysis buffer twice daily.

Durability of binding in cells

[0673] The durability of binding of proteasome inhibitors was assessed in cells using wash out assays and the Proteasome-Glo™ Reagent kit. THP-l cells, HT-29 cells, or PBMC were incubated with an 8-fold dilution series of inhibitor for 2 h. Following 2 h of incubation, cells were washed using 3 occasions of centrifugation followed by resuspension in culture medium. Following inhibitor washout, cells were returned to culture for either 30 minutes, 4 h, or 18 h. Cells were then transferred to white 384 plates, and 20 uL of Proteasome-Glo™ Reagent was added to each well for 10 minutes. Plates were then read on an Analyst HT plate reader using luminescence mode. The percent inhibition of activity was plotted as a function of log compound concentration. The IC50 was then calculated for each compound using Prism software from GraphPad.

Biochemical durability of binding

[0674] The durability of binding of proteasome inhibitors was assessed in cells using purified constitutive and immune proteasome and an ELISA-based active site occupancy assay called Pro-CISE. Here, occupancy of a test compound within the active site is measured in a time dependent fashion by blocking binding of a high affinity probe to the proteasome. A buffer of 20mM Tris-HCl pH 8, 0.5mM EDTA, 0.03% SDS is utilized for initial steps. 200 nM test compound is incubated with 60 nM proteasome for 1 h at rt to facilitate compound binding. The mixture is then diluted 50-fold, and a high concentration of 5 uM biotinylated proteasome active binding probe (PABP) is added (See Kirk et al. Meth Mol Biol 1172:114 (2014)) at 1, 3, 6, and 24 hrs following dilution. The probe will bind irreversibly to any proteasome sites that become available following dissociation of the test molecule, providing a read-out of the test compound’ s durability. The ELISA steps of the procedure utilize a buffer of phosphate buffered saline, 1% bovine serum albumin, 0.1% Tween-20. Streptavidin coated ELISA plates are pre-blocked with ELISA buffer, buffer is removed, and the following are added: 20 uL ELISA buffer, 70 uL 8M guanidine HC1 in 20 mM Tris HC1 pH 8.0 with 0.5 mM EDTA, and 10 uL of PABP-treated proteasome samples. Mixture is incubated for 1 h at rt. Plates are washed, incubated with subunit selective immune or constitutive primary antibody overnight at 4 °C, washed, incubated with secondary antibody for 2 hrs at rt, washed, and detected using SuperSignal ELISA Pico Kit solution and luminescence is detected on a Perkin Elmer Envision. The %occupancy at each time point is determined by normalization to conditions with no test compound (maximum signal) or no proteasome (minimum signal) and the compound dissociation half- life (ti _/ 2) is determined by fitting the time course to a one -phase exponential decay.
