FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates generally to compounds that inhibit MALT1 and uses of the compounds in the treatment of MALT 1 -related diseases or disorders (e.g., cancer).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a cancer of B cells and is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in adults. DLBCL is an aggressive tumor which can arise in almost any part of the body. Typically, DLBCL arises from normal B cells, but it can also represent a malignant transformation of other types of lymphoma or leukemia with underlying immunodeficiency being a significant risk factor. Despite advances in treatment, one third of DLBCL patients either do not respond or relapse within a short time. There are two major biologically distinct molecular subtypes of DLBCL: germinal center B-cell (GCB) and activated B-cell (ABC). ABC-DLBCL is derived from B cells that are in the process of differentiating from germinal center B cells to plasma cells. Typically, patients diagnosed with the ABC subtype have poorer outcomes than GCB patients.

[0004] Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is part of the paracaspase family and possesses proteolytic activity. It is a functional cysteine protease activated by T-cell receptor stimulation that has an important role in the activation of the transcription factor NF-κΒ, in the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), and in the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. For example, the survival of several known ABC-DLBCL cell lines depends on a trio of signaling adapters: CARD11, MALT1, and BCL10. These proteins form the CBM complex that is involved in the antigen-dependent activation of NF-κΒ. In addition to acting as a scaffold protein within the CBM complex, MALT1 also contains a proteolytic activity that is constitutively activated in ABC-DLBCL. MALTl inhibitors are known to inhibit NF-κΒ target gene expression and ABC-DLBCL viability, making MALTl inhibition an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of ABC-DLBCL. In addition, dysregulation of MALTl activity plays a role in the development of other diseases, such as MALTl -dependent inflammatory and/or autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, and Hashimoto' s thyroiditis). Accordingly, a need exists to discover and develop MALTl inhibitors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Inhibition of the protease activity of MALTl has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells (e.g., ABC-DLBCL cells), and be a possible target in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus). Accordingly, the present disclosure stems from the recognition that, by targeting and inhibiting MALTl proteolytic activity, new compounds, compositions, and methods are provided that are useful for the treatment of diseases associated with the dysregulation of MALTl activity (e.g., hematological cancers such as DLBCL).

[0006] The present disclosure provides compounds that act to bind MALTl and inhibit its constitutive proteolytic activity, which is common in some cancers, thereby conferring an antiproliferative effect. The present disclosure also provides methods of treating cancer,

inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases with the compounds disclosed herein, and compositions thereof. Thus, the present disclosure represents an important advance in the treatment of cancer, particularly DLBCL, as well as in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

[0078] A "counterion" or "anionic counterion" is a negatively charged group associated with a positively charged group in order to maintain electronic neutrality. An anionic counterion may be monovalent (i.e. , including one formal negative charge). An anionic counterion may also be multivalent (i.e. , including more than one formal negative charge), such as divalent or trivalent. Exemplary counterions include halide ions (e.g., F , Cl ^~ , Br , Γ), N0 ₃ , C10 ₄ , OH ^~ , H ₂ P0 ₄ , HC0 ₃ ^~ HS0 ₄ , sulfonate ions (e.g., methansulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, p- toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, 10-camphor sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, naphthalene- 1 -sulfonic acid-5-sulfonate, ethan-1 -sulfonic acid-2-sulfonate, and the like), carboxylate ions (e.g., acetate, propanoate, benzoate, glycerate, lactate, tartrate, glycolate, gluconate, and the like), BF ₄ ^~ , PF ₄ , PF ₆ , AsF ₆ ^" , SbF ₆ , B[3,5-(CF ₃ ) ₂ C ₆ H ₃ ] ₄ ] B(C ₆ F ₅ ) ₄ ^~ , BPh ₄ , Al(OC(CF ₃ ) ₃ ) ₄ ^~ , and carborane anions (e.g., CBnHi ₂ or (HCBnMesBre) ).

[0079] The term "leaving group" is given its ordinary meaning in the art of synthetic organic chemistry and refers to an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. See, for example, Smith, March ' s Advanced Organic Chemistry 6th ed. (501-502). Examples of suitable leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halogen (such as F, CI, Br, or I (iodine)), alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy, arenesulfonyloxy, alkyl- carbonyloxy (e.g., acetoxy), arylcarbonyloxy, aryloxy, methoxy, N,0-dimethylhydroxylamino, pixyl, and haloformates. In some cases, the leaving group is a sulfonic acid ester, such as toluenesulfonate (tosylate, -OTs), methanesulfonate (mesylate, -OMs), /?- bromobenzenesulfonyloxy (brosylate, -OBs), -OS(=0)2(CF ₂ ) ₃ CF ₃ (nonaflate, -ONf), or trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, -OTf). In some cases, the leaving group is a brosylate, such as /^-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some cases, the leaving group is a nosylate, such as 2- nitrobenzenesulfonyloxy.The leaving group may also be a phosphineoxide (e.g., formed during a Mitsunobu reaction) or an internal leaving group such as an epoxide or cyclic sulfate. Other non- limiting examples of leaving groups are water, ammonia, alcohols, ether moieties, thioether moieties, zinc halides, magnesium moieties, diazonium salts, and copper moieties.

[0080] As used herein, use of the phrase "at least one instance" refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.

[0081] A "non-hydrogen group" refers to any group that is defined for a particular variable that is not hydrogen.

[0082] These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, Examples, and claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.

Other definitions

[0083] The following definitions are more general terms used throughout the present application.

[0084] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any and all salts, and encompasses

pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

[0085] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate,

glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy- ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N ⁺ (Ci_ ₄ alkyl) ₄ ^~ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.

[0086] The term "solvate" refers to forms of the compound, or a salt thereof, that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non- stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates. [0087] The term "hydrate" refers to a compound that is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R x H ₂ 0, wherein R is the compound, and x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrate, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R-0.5 H ₂ 0)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R-2 H ₂ 0) and hexahydrates (R-6 H ₂ 0)).

[0088] The term "tautomers" or "tautomeric" refers to two or more interconvertible

compounds resulting from at least one formal migration of a hydrogen atom and at least one change in valency (e.g., a single bond to a double bond, a triple bond to a single bond, or vice versa). The exact ratio of the tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. Tautomerizations (i.e., the reaction providing a tautomeric pair) may catalyzed by acid or base. Exemplary tautomerizations include keto-to-enol, amide-to-imide, lactam-to- lactim, enamine-to-imine, and enamine-to-(a different enamine) tautomerizations.

[0089] It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers".

[0090] Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed "diastereomers" and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed "enantiomers". When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e. , as (+) or (-)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture".

[0091] The term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof). All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility.

Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[0092] The term "prodrugs" refers to compounds that have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds described herein, which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds described herein have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offer advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides, and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds described herein are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as

(acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. C _1-8 alkyl, C ₂ -8 alkenyl, C ₂ _ ₈ alkynyl, aryl, C ₇ _i ₂ substituted aryl, and C ₇ _i ₂ arylalkyl esters of the compounds described herein may be preferred.

A target tissue may also be a normal or healthy tissue that is under a higher than normal risk of becoming abnormal or unhealthy, which may need to be prevented. In certain embodiments, the target tissue is the liver. In certain embodiments, the target tissue is the lung. A "non-target tissue" is any biological tissue of a subject (including a group of cells, a body part, or an organ) or a part thereof, including blood and/or lymph vessels, which is not a target tissue.

[0097] The term "administer," "administering," or "administration" refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing a compound described herein, or a composition thereof, in or on a subject.

[0098] The terms "treatment," "treat," and "treating" refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible subject prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms).

Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.

[0099] The terms "condition," "disease," and "disorder" are used interchangeably.

[00100] An "effective amount" of a compound described herein refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response.

[00105] The term "immunotherapy" refers to a therapeutic agent that promotes the treatment of disease by inducing, enhancing, or suppressing an immune response. Immunotherapies designed to elicit or amplify an immune response are classified as activation immunotherapies, while immunotherapies that reduce or suppress are classified as suppression immunotherapies.

Immunotherapies are typically, but not always, biotherapeutic agents. Numerous

immunotherapies are used to treat cancer. These include, but are not limited to, monoclonal antibodies, adoptive cell transfer, cytokines, chemokines, vaccines, and small molecule inhibitors.

[00106] The terms "biologic," "biologic drug," and "biological product" refer to a wide range of products such as vaccines, blood and blood components, allergenics, somatic cells, gene therapy, tissues, nucleic acids, and proteins. Biologies may include sugars, proteins, or nucleic acids, or complex combinations of these substances, or may be living entities, such as cells and tissues. Biologies may be isolated from a variety of natural sources (e.g., human, animal, microorganism) and may be produced by biotechnological methods and other technologies.

[00107] The term "small molecule" or "small molecule therapeutic" refers to molecules, whether naturally occurring or artificially created (e.g., via chemical synthesis) that have a relatively low molecular weight. Typically, a small molecule is an organic compound (i.e., it contains carbon). The small molecule may contain multiple carbon-carbon bonds, stereocenters, and other functional groups (e.g., amines, hydroxyl, carbonyls, and heterocyclic rings, etc.). In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is not more than about 1,000 g/mol, not more than about 900 g/mol, not more than about 800 g/mol, not more than about 700 g/mol, not more than about 600 g/mol, not more than about 500 g/mol, not more than about 400 g/mol, not more than about 300 g/mol, not more than about 200 g/mol, or not more than about 100 g/mol. In certain embodiments, the molecular weight of a small molecule is at least about 100 g/mol, at least about 200 g/mol, at least about 300 g/mol, at least about 400 g/mol, at least about 500 g/mol, at least about 600 g/mol, at least about 700 g/mol, at least about 800 g/mol, or at least about 900 g/mol, or at least about 1,000 g/mol. Combinations of the above ranges (e.g., at least about 200 g/mol and not more than about 500 g/mol) are also possible. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a therapeutically active agent such as a drug (e.g., a molecule approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as provided in the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.)). The small molecule may also be complexed with one or more metal atoms and/or metal ions. In this instance, the small molecule is also referred to as a "small organometallic molecule." Preferred small molecules are biologically active in that they produce a biological effect in animals, preferably mammals, more preferably humans. Small molecules include, but are not limited to, radionuclides and imaging agents. In certain embodiments, the small molecule is a drug. Preferably, though not necessarily, the drug is one that has already been deemed safe and effective for use in humans or animals by the appropriate governmental agency or regulatory body. For example, drugs approved for human use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. §§ 330.5, 331 through 361, and 440 through 460, incorporated herein by reference; drugs for veterinary use are listed by the FDA under 21 C.F.R. § § 500 through 589, incorporated herein by reference. All listed drugs are considered acceptable for use in accordance with the present invention. [00108] The term "therapeutic agent" refers to any substance having therapeutic properties that produce a desired, usually beneficial, effect. For example, therapeutic agents may treat, ameliorate, and/or prevent disease. Therapeutic agents, as disclosed herein, may be biologies or small molecule therapeutics.

[00109] The term "chemotherapeutic agent" refers to a therapeutic agent known to be of use in chemotherapy for cancer.

[00110] A "hematological cancer" includes a cancer which affects a hematopoietic cell or tissue. Hematological cancers include cancers associated with aberrant hematological content and/or function. Examples of hematological cancers include, but are nor limited to, leukemia such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (e.g., B-cell ALL, T-cell ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) (e.g., B-cell AML, T-cell AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) (e.g., B- cell CML, T-cell CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (e.g., B-cell CLL, T-cell CLL)), lymphoma such as Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) (e.g., B-cell HL, T-cell HL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) (e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)), follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (e.g., mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (i.e.,

[00317] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. Sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S. P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

[00318] Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial- retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

[00319] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active agent is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin,

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active agent may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[00322] Formulations suitable for topical administration include liquid or semi-liquid preparations such as liniments, lotions, gels, applicants, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions such as creams, ointments, or pastes; or solutions or suspensions such as drops. Formulations for topical administration to the skin surface can be prepared by dispersing the drug with a dermatologically acceptable carrier such as a lotion, cream, ointment, or soap. Useful carriers are capable of forming a film or layer over the skin to localize application and inhibit removal. For topical administration to internal tissue surfaces, the agent can be dispersed in a liquid tissue adhesive or other substance known to enhance adsorption to a tissue surface. For example, hydroxypropylcellulose or fibrinogen/thrombin solutions can be used to advantage.

Alternatively, tissue-coating solutions, such as pectin-containing formulations can be used. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present disclosure contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of an agent to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the agent in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the agent across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the agent in a polymer matrix or gel.

[00323] Additionally, the carrier for a topical formulation can be in the form of a

hydroalcoholic system (e.g., liquids and gels), an anhydrous oil or silicone based system, or an emulsion system, including, but not limited to, oil-in-water, water-in-oil, water-in-oil-in-water, and oil-in-water- in-silicone emulsions. The emulsions can cover a broad range of consistencies including thin lotions (which can also be suitable for spray or aerosol delivery), creamy lotions, light creams, heavy creams, and the like. The emulsions can also include microemulsion systems. Other suitable topical carriers include anhydrous solids and semisolids (such as gels and sticks); and aqueous based mousse systems.

[00324] Also encompassed by the disclosure are kits (e.g., pharmaceutical packs). The kits provided may comprise a pharmaceutical composition or compound described herein and a container (e.g., a vial, ampule, bottle, syringe, and/or dispenser package, or other suitable container).

[00327] In addition to acting as a scaffold protein within the CBM complex, MALT1 also has proteolytic activity that is constitutively activated in certain cancers, such as ABC-DLBCL. MALT1 inhibitors are known to inhibit ABC-DLBCL viability, making MALT1 inhibition an attractive method for the treatment of ABC-DLBCL. In addition, some ABC-DLBCL cells carry CARD11 activating mutations. Cells with these mutations are particularly sensitive to MALT1 inhibitors, while they are resistant to inhibitors of kinases upstream in the pathway {e.g., BTK). Thus, treatment of these cancers with MALT1 inhibitors may be particularly effective.

[00328] Dysregulation of MALT1 activity may also have a role in the development of other diseases, such as inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. These include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus, Sjogren's syndrome,

Hashimoto's thyroiditis, inflammatory bowel diseases {e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), lupus erythematosus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and psoriatic arthritis.

In cell MALTl inhibition reporter system for high throughput screening (HTS) method for MALTl protease inhibitors

[00429] The reporter system utilized split luciferase technology (Promega GloSensor™), where a firefly luciferase enzyme is separated into two components by a cAMP-binding protein moiety. Binding of cAMP induces a conformational change that triggers light output. A MALTl cleavage signal based on the RelB cleavage site was engineered so that the conformational change required for cAMP binding occurred only after MALTl mediated cleavage. To control for luciferase activity interference independent of MALTl cleavage, Renilla luciferase was used. A stable Raji reporter cell line where B-cell receptor signaling is activated with 12-phorbol 13- myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin to trigger MALTl protease activity was generated. Raji MALTl -reporter cells were pre-treated for 30 min with inhibitors and then with PMA/ionomycin for 1 h and IC ₅₀ was used to rank compounds.

[00430] The assay was performed in 384-well plates. 5 of 10 x 3 -fold serial compound dilutions prepared in cell culture media was added to the plate using liquid handling robotics (Microlab STAR, Hamilton). Compound start concentration was 20 μΜ and final vehicle concentration was 0.2% DMSO in all wells unless otherwise noted. Raji GloSensor cells were resuspended in complete media at 1.33* 10 ⁶ /ml and 2% GloSensor Reagent was added to cell suspension. 45 μΐ of cell mix was then added to the plate and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 °C and 5% C0 ₂ . Next, 2 per well of a 26x PMA/IO solution (final concentration PMA=0.2 μg/mL, 10=1 μΜ) was added to the plate using liquid handling robotics (MultifloFX, Biotek). The plate was incubated for an additional 1 hour and 45 minutes at 37 °C and 5% C0 ₂ , and the luminescence output was read. Cell proliferation inhibition assay

[00431] Compounds were plated in 5 μί, then 2,000 cells/well were plated in 45 μΐ _^ in 384- well white/clear plates (BD 353963). Cells were grown at 37°C for 96 hours.

1. Cells were counted to confirm a sufficient number were present in the assay. Cells were centrifuged (300xg 5 min) and resuspended at 4.44xlO ^A 4 cells/mL with fresh media.

2. Dilutions of compounds were prepared: working dilutions were 10X the highest

concentration tested and were prepared in a 96-well V-bottom plate for serial dilution. All compounds tested in each assay had the same concentration of DMSO, as well as all the serial dilutions.

3. Compounds were plated in triplicate: 5 (Included 12 wells of control for

standard curve (3 blank, 9 standard-and three wells of z-VRPR-fmk at 50 μΜ as positive control).

4. Cells were plated at a concentration of 45 For blank, three control wells were utilized (5 μΐ _^ vehicle) with an added 45 μΐ _^ of media, instead of cells.

5. The plates were briefly spun down to ensure there were no bubbles. The plates were then incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, then steps 2-5 were repeated.

6. Logarithmic growth of control cells was assessed by Trypan blue counting of vehicle- treated cells.

7. 50 μΐ _^ of CTGlo (Promega) was added, followed by rocking for 2 min, then incubated 10 min at RT. Luminescence was measured.

[00432] Data Processing: Cell count was evaluated as a measure of how well cells performed in the assay. The blank was substracted from all measurements, and growth inhibition was calculated relative to vehicle treated cells (0% inhibition) and no cells (100% inhibition) wells. The average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation was calculated for each triplicate. The coefficient of variation was less than 12%. Three independent experiments were averaged, and the growth inhibition values and concentration were used to construct dose-response curves in CDD (Collaborative Dug Discovery vault) and calculate GI ₅₀ .
