FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[002] The present invention relates to compounds capable of inhibiting the kinase activity of tankyrase 1 and/or tankyrase 2, and compositions that include compounds that inhibit tankyrase 1 and/or tankyrase 2. The compounds and

compositions may be used to treat diseases or conditions modulated by tankyrase 1 and/or tankyrase 2 such as cancer and are especially useful in treating patients with conditions or diseases related to tankyrase expression.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[003] Tankyrase (TNKS) is a member of the poly-ADP-ribose polymerase

(PARP) family, which uses NAD+ as a substrate to transfer ADP-ribose polymers onto target proteins, resulting in a post-translational modification referred to as PARsylation. TNKS was first identified as a binding partner for telomerase repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1), which is a key player in the regulation of telomere length at the chromosome ends. Telomere length is maintained by the reverse transcriptase telomerase. The TRF1 and TRF2 proteins are DNA binding proteins that regulate the length and stability of telomeres. Poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) of TRF1 by TNKS inhibits the ability of TRF 1 to bind telomeric DNA thereby allowing telomerase access to telomeric DNA. Thus, TNKS proteins function as positive regulators of telomere length. In addition, it has been reported that TNKS regulates sister chromatid separation during mitosis as well as vesicle trafficking. Additional binding partners of TNKS have recently been identified including CASC3 and BLZF1 (Golgin-45) suggesting roles for TNKS in diverse cellular processes including mRNA metabolism and Golgi structure maintenance.

[004] There are two TNKS genes, TNKS 1 and TNKS2, in the human and mouse genomes. Individual and double-knockout of TNKS 1 and TNKS2 in mice suggests that they share significant functional redundancy (Chiang Y.J. et. al., "Tankyrase 1 and Tankyrase 2 are Essential but Redundant for Mouse Embryonic Development," PLoS ONE 3(7): e2639. Pp. 1-10 (2008)) as the single homozygous TNKS1 or TNKS2 mice had relatively mild growth phenotypes and no defects in telomere maintenance, whereas the double knockout caused early embryonic lethality.

[005] More recently, TNKS proteins were shown to bind directly to ΑΧΓΝ1 and ΑΧΓΝ2 proteins, which are negative regulators of the Wnt pathway, and regulate their steady state levels by PARsylation and ubiquitination (Huang, S.M. et al. "Tankyrase Inhibition Stabilizes Axin and Antagonizes Wnt Signalling," Nature, 461, pp 614-620 (2009)). Small-molecule inhibitors of tankyrases TNKS1 and TNKS2 can downregulate Wnt signaling (Huang, S.M. et al. "Tankyrase Inhibition Stabilizes Axin and Antagonizes Wnt Signalling," Nature, 461, pp 614-620 (2009); Chen, B. et. al. "Small Molecule- Mediated Disruption of Wnt-Dependent Signaling in Tissue Regeneration and Cancer," Nature Chem. Biol., 5(2), pp 100-107, (2009)) in several immortalized and malignant human cell lines. These inhibitors of TNKS also regulate the Wnt pathway in vivo in a Wnt signaling-dependent zebrafish model of fin regeneration.

[001 ] Signaling by the Wnt family of secreted proteins plays an essential, evolutionarily conserved role in embryonic development and adult tissue homeostasis in a vast array of organisms including, flies, worms, chickens, frogs and mammals. Wnt signaling is a fundamental morphogenetic pathway that is deployed in diverse settings throughout development to regulate processes such as cell fate specification, tissue patterning, polarity, gastrulation, stem cell maintainence, and cell migration. The Wnt pathway is extraordinarily complex and the binding of Wnt ligands can lead to a variety of biological outcomes depending on the molecular and cellular context. Wnt signaling is often described in terms of either the canonical pathway or one of several non-canonical pathways.

[002] In the canonical or β-catenin-dependent Wnt pathway, specific Wnt ligands regulate the level and sub-cellular localization of β-catenin. In the absence of an activating Wnt signal, glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3 ) collaborates with the AXIN and APC (adenomatous polyposis coli) proteins and other factors to phosphorylate β- catenin at its amino (N)-terminal domain. The phosphorylated β-catenin is recognized and ubiquitinated by a complex containing a β-transducin repeat-containing protein (βΤΛΡ), and is then degraded by the proteasome. Wnt binding to the Frizzled-low density lipoprotein-related protein (LRP)-5/6 co-receptor complex on the cell surface leads to the recruitment of disheveled and the inhibition the ΑΧΓΝΛ38Κ3β complex. This, in turn, leads to the stabilization of the free pools of β-catenin which can enter the nucleus, bind to T cell factor (TCF) transcriptional regulators along with other cofactors and modulate transcription of various genes.

[003] Wnt pathway deregulation has been implicated in many human diseases including cancer as well as many non-oncogenic disorders such as cardiac disease, osteroporosis, osteoarthritis, diabetes, fibrotic/proliferative diseases, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Wnt^-catenin signaling is of particular relevance to colorectal cancers (CRC), which are the second leading cause of cancer death in Western societies. Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene, APC, are responsible for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. Truncating mutations APC are also the most prevalent genetic alterations in sporadic CRC. Inactivating mutations of ΑΧΓΝ1/2 and oncogenic mutations in β-catenin, all of which lead to the stabilization of β-catenin and to altered expression of β- catenin/TCF-regulated genes in the absence of exogenous Wnt signals, have also been identified in human cancers including CRC. Indeed, aberrant activation of Wnt/ β-catenin signaling is likely an obligatory step in the initiation of the majority, if not all, human CRC.

[004] There is also good evidence for Wnt pathway hyperactivation in the initiation and/or progression on a variety of other human cancers including gastric, pancreatic, kidney (Wilms), medulloblastoma, melanoma, lung, thyroid, breast and prostate cancer. This pathway activation is achieved by either oncogenic mutations in β- catenin, or loss of function mutations in APC or ΑΧΓΝ. In addition, mutations or epigentic silencing of extracellular negative regulators such as SFRP's, DKK's and WIF can also lead to abnormal pathway activity and have been widely reported in a large number of different human cancers.

[005] Blocking canonical Wnt signaling in CRC and other Wnt-dependent tumors such as lung, breast and teratocarcinomas has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in human xenografts grown in mice or in transgenic mouse models. Several classes of small molecules have been shown to act as Wnt signaling inhibitors at various "nodes" of the pathway including the disruption of dishevelled activity and b-catenin interaction surfaces with TCF/LEF or pygopus. The efficient assembly of the multi-protein β-catenin destruction complex is dependent on the steady-state levels of its principal constituents. ΑΧΓΝ has been reported to be the concentration-limiting factor in regulating the efficiency of the β-catenin destruction complex and overexpression of ΑΧΓΝ induces β- catenin degradation even in cell lines expressing truncated APC (Hart, M.J. et. al. "Downregulation of Beta-Catenin by Human Axin and its Association with the APC Tumor Suppressor, Beta-Catenin and GSK3 Beta," Curr. Biol., 8(10) pp 573-581 (1998)). Thus, ΑΧΓΝ protein levels need to be tightly regulated to ensure proper Wnt pathway signaling and regulation of ΑΧΓΝ stability by TNKS therefore represents a good therapeutic target.

[006] Cancer stem cells, found in many types of cancer, are rare populations of malignant cells with the capacity for endless self-renewal. They are believed to be responsible for tumor growth, recurrence and metastasis. Also referred to as "tumor- initiating cells," these cells have been identified in many types of solid tumor cancers, including cancer of head and neck, breast, lung, prostate, pancreas and glioblastoma. Cancer stem cells appear to be preferentially resistant to both standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy. One important therapeutic strategy is to specifically target the key biological pathways which are thought to be critical to the activity and survival of cancer stem cells. Since the Wnt pathway has been shown to be critical for cancer stem cells in many types of malignancies (e.g. squamous cancer stem cells), TNKS inhibitors are promising therapeutic compounds for use in treating human disease where cancer stem cells are thought to play a role (i.e. in recurrent or resistant disease). TNKS inhibitors could be either used alone or in combination with current chemotherapies.

[007] Upregulation of telomerase and telomere maintenance is necessary for most cancer cells to replicate indefinitely and thereby enable tumor growth and metastasis. One strategy for the development of anti-cancer therapies is to inhibit telomerase activity in cancer cells. Inhibiting telomerase activity should result in telomere shortening which can cause senescence and death of cancer cells. Another, strategy to inhibit the telomere elongation in cancer cells would be to effectively inhibit telomerase by exclusion by preventing the PARsylation of TRFl by TNKS. Thus, TNKS inhibitors would be suitable cancer therapies either alone or in combination with telomerase inhibitors by targeting teleomeres and driving cancer cells towards senescence.

[008] A need therefore exists for potent and selective inhibitors of TNKS that may be used to treat cancer. The present application discloses such potent and selective tankyrase inhibitors with good drug-like properties that are suitable for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. These compounds are especially appropriate for inhibiting CRC or any other human tumor that has evidence of Wnt pathway activation and/or dependence. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[017] Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description and claims. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[018] Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about." Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

[019] As used herein, if any variable occurs more than one time in a chemical formula, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. If the chemical structure and chemical name conflict, the chemical structure is determinative of the identity of the compound. The compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more chiral centers and/or double bonds and therefore, may exist as stereoisomers, such as double -bond isomers (i.e., geometric isomers), enantiomers or diastereomers. Accordingly, any chemical structures within the scope of the specification depicted, in whole or in part, with a relative configuration encompass all possible enantiomers and stereoisomers of the illustrated compounds including the stereoisomerically pure form (e.g., geometrically pure, enantiomerically pure or diastereomerically pure) and enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures. Enantiomeric and stereoisomeric mixtures can be resolved into the component enantiomers or stereoisomers using separation techniques or chiral synthesis techniques well known to the skilled artisan.

[020] Certain compounds of the invention may possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, enantiomers, diastereomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. Furthermore, atropisomers and mixtures thereof such as those resulting from restricted rotation about two aromatic or heteroaromatic rings bonded to one another are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention.

[021 ] As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term "stereoisomer" or "stereomerically pure" means one stereoisomer of a compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, even more preferably greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, and most preferably greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound. If the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisomers of it. A bond drawn with a wavy line indicates that both stereoisomers are encompassed.

[022] Various compounds of the invention contain one or more chiral centers, and can exist as racemic mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of diastereomers or enantiomerically or optically pure compounds. This invention encompasses the use of stereomerically pure forms of such compounds, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular compound of the invention may be used in methods and compositions of the invention. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al. (1997) Tetrahedron 33:2725; Eliel, E. L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN, 1972).

[023] As known by those skilled in the art, certain compounds of the invention may exist in one or more tautomeric forms. Because one chemical structure may only be used to represent one tautomeric form, it will be understood that for convenience, referral to a compound of a given structural formula includes tautomers of the structure represented by the structural formula.

[024] Compounds of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, compounds of Formula I and Formula II and all pharmaceutically acceptable forms thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the compounds recited herein include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, crystal forms (including polymorphs and clathrates), chelates, non-covalent complexes, prodrugs, and mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein are in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. As used herein, the term "compound" encompasses not only the compound itself, but also a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a solvate thereof, a chelate thereof, a non-covalent complex thereof, a prodrug thereof, and mixtures of any of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the term "compound" encompasses the compound itself, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, tautomers of the compound,

pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the tautomers, and ester prodrugs such as (Cr C/ alkyl esters. In other embodiments, the term "compound" encompasses the compound itself, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, tautomers of the compound,

pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the tautomers.

[025] The term "solvate" refers to the compound formed by the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Suitable solvates are pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, including monohydrates and hemi-hydrates.

[026] The compounds of the invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium ( ³ H), iodine- 125 ( ¹²⁵ I) or carbon- 14 ( ¹⁴ C). Radiolabeled compounds are useful as therapeutic or prophylactic agents, research reagents, e.g., GPR40 assay reagents, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the invention, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the invention. For example, if a variable is said to be H, this means that variable may also be deuterium (D) or tritium (T).

Such groups may be referred to as C ₆ -Ci ₀ aryl groups. Aryl, however, does not encompass or overlap in any way with heteroaryl as separately defined below. Hence, if one or more carbocyclic aromatic rings is fused with an aromatic ring that includes at least one heteroatom, the resulting ring system is heteroaryl, not aryl, as defined herein.

'Carbonyl" refers to the radical -C(O) or -C(=0) group.

'Carboxy" refers to the radical -C(0)OH.

'Cyano" refers to the radical -CN.

'Cycloalkyl" refers to a saturated cyclic alkyl group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single carbon atom of a parent cycloalkane.

Typical cycloalkyl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from

cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane, and the like. Cycloalkyl groups may be described by the number of carbon atoms in the ring. For example a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 7 ring members may be referred to as a (C3-C ₇ )cycloalkyl and a cycloalkyl group having 4 to 7 ring members may be referred to as a (C4-C ₇ )cycloalkyl. In certain embodiments, the cycloalkyl group can be a

Cycloalkenyl groups may be described by the number of carbon atoms in the ring. For example a cycloalkenyl group having 4 to 7 ring members may be referred to as a (CzrC ₇ )cycloalkenyl. In certain embodiments, the cycloalkenyl group can be (C4-Cio)cycloalkenyl, such as, for example, a (CzrC ₇ )cycloalkenyl or (CzrC ₆ )cycloalkenyl group.

[038] "Heterocyclyl" refers to a cyclic group that includes at least one saturated or unsaturated, but non-aromatic, cyclic ring. Heterocyclyl groups include at least one heteroatom as a ring member. Typical heteroatoms include, but are not limited to, O, S and N and are independently chosen. Heterocyclyl groups include monocyclic ring systems and bicyclic ring systems. Bicyclic heterocyclyl groups include at least one non-aromatic ring with at least one heteroatom ring member that may be fused to a cycloalkyl ring or may be fused to an aromatic ring where the aromatic ring may be carbocyclic or may include one or more heteroatoms. The point of attachment of a bicyclic heterocyclyl group may be at the non-aromatic cyclic ring that includes at least one heteroatom or at another ring of the heterocyclyl group.

In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 3 to 10 ring members of which 1, 2, or 3 ring members are independently selected from O, S, or N. In other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes4 to 10 ring members of which 1 , 2, or 3 are heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, or N. In other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 5 to 10 ring members of which 1 , 2, 3 or 4 are heteroatoms independently selected from O, S, or N. In other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 4 to 7 ring members comprising 1 heteroatom selected from O, S, or N. In still other embodiments, a heterocyclyl group includes 3 or 4 ring members of which 1 is a heteroatom selected from O, S, or N.

[039] "Disease" refers to any disease, disorder, condition, symptom, or indication.

[040] "Halo" or "halogen" refers to a fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo group.

[041 ] "Haloalkyl" refers to an alkyl group in which at least one hydrogen is replaced with a halogen. Thus, the term "haloalkyl" includes monohaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with one halogen atom) and polyhaloalkyl (alkyl substituted with two or more halogen atoms). Representative "haloalkyl" groups include difluoromethyl, 2,2,2- trifluoroethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, and the like. The term "perhaloalkyl" means, unless otherwise stated, an alkyl group in which each of the hydrogen atoms is replaced with a halogen atom. For example, the term "perhaloalkyl", includes, but is not limited to, trifluoromethyl, pentachloroethyl, l, l,l-trifluoro-2-bromo-2-chloroethyl, and the like.

[042] "Heteroaryl" refers to a monovalent heteroaromatic group derived by the removal of one hydrogen atom from a single atom of a parent heteroaromatic ring system. Heteroaryl groups typically include 5- to 14-membered, but more typically include 5- to 10-membered aromatic, monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic rings containing one or more, for example, 1, 2, 3, or 4, or in certain embodiments, 1, 2, or 3, heteroatoms chosen from O, S, and N, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon. In monocyclic heteroaryl groups, the single ring is aromatic and includes at least one heteroatom. In bicyclic aromatic rings, both rings are aromatic. In bicyclic heteroaryl groups, at least one of the rings must include a heteroatom, but it is not necessary that both rings include a heteroatom although it is permitted for them to do so. For example, heteroaryl includes a 5- to 7-membered heteroaromatic ring fused to a carbocyclic aromatic ring or fused to a heteroaromatic ring. In tricyclic aromatic rings, all three of the rings are aromatic and at least one of the rings includes at least one heteroatom. For fused, bicyclic and tricyclic heteroaryl ring systems where only one of the rings contains one or more heteroatoms, the point of attachment may be at the ring including at least one heteroatom or at a carbocyclic ring. When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group is not more than 2. In certain embodiments, the total number of S and O atoms in the aromatic heterocycle is not more than 1. Heteroaryl does not encompass or overlap with aryl as defined above. Examples of heteroaryl groups include, but are not limited to, groups derived from acridine, carbazole, cinnoline, furan, imidazole, indazole, indole, indolizine, isobenzofuran, isochromene, isoindole, isoquinoline, isothiazole, 2H-benzo[d][l,2,3]triazole, isoxazole, naphthyridine, oxadiazole, oxazole, perimidine, phenanthridine, phenanthroline, phenazine, phthalazine, pteridine, purine, pyrazine, pyrazole, pyridazine, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyrrole, pyrrolizine, quinazoline, quinoline, quinolizine, quinoxaline, tetrazole, thiadiazole, thiazole, thiophene, triazole, and the like. In certain embodiments, the heteroaryl group can be between 5 to 20 membered heteroaryl, such as, for example, a 5 to 14 membered or 5 to 10 membered heteroaryl. In certain embodiments, heteroaryl groups can be those derived from thiophene, pyrrole, benzothiophene, 2H- benzo[d][l,2,3]triazole benzofuran, indole, pyridine, quinoline, imidazole, benzimidazole, oxazole, tetrazole, and pyrazine.

[0129] The magnitude of a prophylactic or therapeutic dose of a compound of any of the embodiments or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, or stereoisomer thereof in the acute or chronic treatment or prevention of a cancer or other disease or condition will vary with the nature and aggressiveness of the condition, and the route by which the active ingredient is administered. The dose, and in some cases the dose frequency, will also vary according to the condition to be treated, the age, body weight, and response of the individual patient. Suitable dosing regimens can be readily selected by those skilled in the art with due consideration of such factors. In one embodiment, the dose administered depends upon the specific compound to be used, and the weight and condition of the patient. In general, the dose per day is in the range of from about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 1 to 25 mg/kg, more preferably about 1 to about 5 mg/kg. For treatment of humans having a cancer, about 0.1 mg to about 15 g per day is administered in about one to four divisions a day, preferably 10 mg to 12 g per day, more preferably from 40 mg to 500 mg per day. In one embodiment the compounds of the invention are administered from 40 mg to 500 mg per day in about one to four divisions a day. Additionally, the recommended daily dose can be administered in cycles as single agents or in combination with other therapeutic agents. In one embodiment, the daily dose is administered in a single dose or in equally divided doses. In a related embodiment, the recommended daily dose can be administered one time per week, two times per week, three times per week, four times per week or five times per week.

[0130] The compounds of the invention can be administered to provide systemic distribution of the compound within the patient. Therefore, in some

embodiments, the compounds of the invention are administered to produce a systemic effect in the body.

[0131] The compounds of the invention may also be administered directly to a site affected by a condition, as, for example, an in the treatment of an accessible area of skin or an esophageal cancer.

[0132] As indicated above, the compounds of the invention may be administered via oral, mucosal (including sublingual, buccal, rectal, nasal, or vaginal), parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, bolus injection, intra-arterial, or intravenous), transdermal, or topical administration. In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention are administered via mucosal (including sublingual, buccal, rectal, nasal, or vaginal), parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, bolus injection, intra-arterial, or intravenous), transdermal, or topical administration. In other embodiments, the compounds of the invention are administered via oral administration. In still other embodiments, the compounds of the invention are not administered via oral administration.

[0133] Different therapeutically effective amounts may be applicable for different conditions, as will be readily known by those of ordinary skill in the art.

Similarly, amounts sufficient to treat or prevent such conditions, but insufficient to cause, or sufficient to reduce, adverse effects associated with conventional therapies are also encompassed by the above described dosage amounts and dose frequency schedules.

[0134] Some methods of the invention comprise the administration of a compound of the invention and an additional therapeutic agent (i.e., a therapeutic agent other than a compound of the invention). Thus, the compounds of the invention can be used in combination with at least one other therapeutic agent. Examples of additional therapeutic agents include, but are not limited to, antibiotics, anti-emetic agents, antidepressants, antifungal agents, anti-inflammatory agents, antineoplastic agents, antiviral agents, cytotoxic agents, and other anticancer agents, immunomodulatory agents, alpha-interferons, β-interferons, alkylating agents, hormones, and cytokines. In one embodiment, the invention encompasses administration of an additional therapeutic agent that demonstrates anti-cancer activity. In another embodiment, an additional therapeutic agent that demonstrates cytotoxic activity is administered to a subject such as a cancer patient.

[0135] The compounds of the invention and the other therapeutics agent can act additively or, preferably, synergistically. In some embodiments, a composition comprising a compound of the invention is administered concurrently with the administration of another therapeutic agent, which can be part of the same composition or can be in a different composition from the one that comprises the compound of the invention. In other embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered prior to, or subsequent to, administration of another therapeutic agent. In still other embodiments, a compound of the invention is administered to a patient who has not previously undergone or is not currently undergoing treatment with another therapeutic agent. A compound of the invention may be administered to a subject that has had, is currently undergoing, or is scheduled to receive radiation therapy. In some such embodiments, the subject is a cancer patient.

[0136] When administered as a combination, the therapeutic agents can be formulated as separate compositions that are administered at the same time or sequentially at different times, or the therapeutic agents can be given as a single composition. The phrase "co-therapy" (or "combination-therapy"), in defining use of a compound of the present invention and another pharmaceutical agent, is intended to embrace administration of each agent in a sequential manner in a regimen that will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination, and is intended as well to embrace coadministration of these agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of these active agents or in multiple, separate capsules for each agent. Specifically, the administration of compounds of the present invention may be in conjunction with additional therapies known to those skilled in the art in the prevention or treatment of neoplasia, such as with radiation therapy or with cytostatic or cytotoxic agents.

[0137] If formulated as a fixed dose, such combination products employ the compounds of this invention within the accepted dosage ranges. Compounds of any of the embodiments described herein may also be administered sequentially with known anticancer or cytotoxic agents when a combination formulation is inappropriate. The invention is not limited in the sequence of administration as compounds of the invention may be administered either prior to, simultaneous with, or after administration of a known anticancer or cytotoxic agent.

[0151] The invention is further described by reference to the following examples, which are intended to exemplify the claimed invention but not to limit it in any way.

EXAMPLES

[0152] Unless otherwise noted, all materials were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without further purification. Anhydrous solvents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI) and used directly. All reactions involving air- or moisture-sensitive reagents were performed under a nitrogen or argon atmosphere.

Purity was measured using Agilent 1 100 Series high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems with UV detection at 254 nm and 215 nm (System A: Agilent Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C8 4.6 x 150 mm, 5 micron, 5 to 100% ACN in H ₂ 0 with 0.1% TFA for 15 minutes at 1.5 mL/minute; System B: Zorbax SB-C8, 4.6 x 75 mm, 10 to 90% ACN in H ₂ 0 with 0.1% formic acid for 12 minutes at 1.0 mL/minute). Silica gel chromatography was generally performed with prepacked silica gel cartridges (Biotage or Teledyne-Isco). ^l H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV-400 (400 MHz) spectrometer or a Varian 400 MHz spectrometer at ambient temperature, or the NMR spectra were collected with a Bruker Avance III spectrometer operating at a proton frequency of 500.13 MHz using a 10 μΐ. Protasis CapNMR flow probe. NMR samples were delivered to the flow probe using a Protasis One-Minute NMR™ Automation system comprised of a Discovery Tower™ Sample Manager and a Waters Liquid Handler made by CTC, Switzerland (Model 2777). All observed protons are reported as parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane (TMS) or another internal reference in the appropriate solvent indicated. Data are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, q = quartet, br = broad, m = multiplet), coupling constants, and number of protons. Low-resolution mass spectral (MS) data were determined on an Agilent 1 100 Series LC-MS with UV detection at 254 nm and 215 nm and a low resonance electrospray mode (ESI).

[0158] To a round bottom flask were added (S)-5,5-dimethyl-4- phenyloxazolidin-2-one (2.00 g, 10.46 mmol)(commercially available from Sigma- Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI), 1 ,4-dibromobenzene (commercially available from Sigma- Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (4.93 g), 1,4-dioxane (41.8 mL) and tribasic potassium phosphate (1 1.10 g, 52.3 mmol). The vessel was purged with nitrogen and then Ν,Ν'- dimethylethylenediamine (2.251 mL, 20.92 mmol) and copper (I) iodide (1.992 g, 10.46 mmol) were added. The vessel was heated at reflux overnight providing an orange suspension containing product along with two other major impurities according to LC- MS. To the mixture was added water, and the resulting slurry was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were back extracted with water, separated, dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The residue was purified twice using a 50 g SNAP column ramping EtOAc in heptane from 0 - 30% leading to coelution of product with impurity. Another run using DCM:MeOH:NH ₄ OH (90: 10: 1) in DCM afforded (S)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4- phenyloxazolidin-2-one (1.85 g, 5.34 mmol, 51.1 % yield) as a white solid. Minor amounts of (S)-5,5-dimethyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one was still present after the second purification, but the material was used as is. ¾ NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d ₆ ) δ = 7.50 - 7.41 (m, 4 H), 7.40 - 7.34 (m, 2 H), 7.33 - 7.28 (m, 2 H), 7.26 - 7.20 (m, 1 H), 5.46 (s, 1 H), 1.62 (s, 3 H), 0.89 (s, 3 H).

The mixture was purged with argon and then copper (I) iodide (1.006 g, 5.28 mmol) and N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine (1.137 mL, 10.56 mmol) were added. The system was purged with argon, the tube was sealed, and the reaction mixture was heated at 100°C for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite® brand filter aid and concentrated to afford a purple solid. This material was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (RediSep 80 g column, gradient elution with 0-25% EtOAc-hexane) to afford (S)-3-(4-iodophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (1.271 g, 3.23 mmol, 61.2 % yield) as a white solid.

[0162] Step 1 : (S)-Methyl 4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidin-3- yl)benzoate

[0163] To a round bottom flask were added (S)-5,5-dimethyl-4- phenyloxazolidin-2-one (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (1.717 g, 8.98 mmol), methyl 4-iodobenzoate (commercially available from Sigma- Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (2.353 g, 8.98 mmol), and dioxane (90 mL). Tribasic potassium phosphate (9.53 g, 44.9 mmol), and copper (I) iodide (1.710 g, 8.98 mmol) were then added to the flask. The vessel was purged with nitrogen and Ν,Ν'- dimethylethylenediamine (1.933 mL, 17.96 mmol) was added. The suspension was heated at reflux overnight yielding a tan suspension. The mixture was filtered through Celite® brand filter aid, and the filtrate was dried under reduced pressure providing (S)- methyl 4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)benzoate (2.72 g, 8.36 mmol, 93 % yield) as a light green oil which was used in the next step. ^l H NMR (400 MHz, CDC1 ₃ ) δ = 7.94 - 7.90 (m, 2 H), 7.55 - 7.51 (m, 2 H), 7.39 - 7.32 (m, 3 H), 7.21 - 7.16 (m, 2 H), 5.04 (s, 1 H), 3.86 (s, 3 H), 1.70 (s, 3 H), 1.02 (s, 3 H).

[0164] Step 2: (S)-4-(5,5-Dimethyl-2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)benzoic acid [0165] To a flask charged with (S)-methyl 4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-4- phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)benzoate (2.70 g, 8.30 mmol) were added THF (48.5 mL), MeOH (48.5 mL) and water (48.5 mL) respectively. To the resulting turbid solution was added LiOH (0.994 g, 41.5 mmol), and the resulting mixture washeated at 50°C overnight. The resulting mixture was cooled in an ice water bath and brought to pH -2 by the addition of 2N HC1 (-15 mL) leading to a light yellow solution to which water was added (-100 mL). This lead to the formation of a white precipitate which was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with excess water. After drying under high vacuum overnight, (S)-4-(5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)benzoic acid (1.25 g, 4.02 mmol, 48.4 % yield) was obtained as a white solid. NMR indicated that the product formed as a THF adduct with a 3:2 product to THF ratio. H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d ₆ ) δ = 12.76 (br. s., 1 H), 7.87 - 7.81 (m, 2 H), 7.63 - 7.57 (m, 2 H), 7.41 - 7.34 (m, 2 H), 7.34 - 7.30 (m, 1 H), 7.30 - 7.19 (m, 2 H), 5.51 (s, 1 H), 1.63 (s, 3 H), 0.91 (s, 3 H).

[0168] To a flask charged with 4-N-boc-aminocyclohexanone (commercially available from Combi-Blocks, San Diego, CA) (1 1.00 g, 51.6 mmol) was added DCE (206 mL) followed by (S)-(+)-2-phenylglycine methyl ester hydrochloride

(commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (10.40 g, 51.6 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (21.86 g, 103 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred overnight at room temperature leading to conversion to desired product (~1 : 1 cis:trans). To the mixture was added water, and the resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organics were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified with a 100 g SNAP column ramping DCM:MeOH (90: 10) in DCM (0 - 25%), then isocratic at 25% (monitoring at 215 nm) to yield (S)- methyl 2-(((lr,4S)-4-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)cyclohexyl)amino)- 2-phenylacetate (12.43 g, 34.3 mmol, 66.5 % yield) as a mixture of isomers and as a yellow solid.

[0169] Step 2: (S)-tert-Butyl (4-((2-hydroxy-2-methyl- 1 - phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)carbamate

[0170] A flask charged with (S)-methyl 2-(((lr,4S)-4-((tert- butoxycarbonyl)amino)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate (12.4 g, 34.2 mmol) was dried under high vacuum and placed under nitrogen. Then, THF (98 mL) was added, and the resulting solution was cooled in an ice water bath prior to the addition of methylmagnesium bromide (16.32 g, 137 mmol) over 15 minutes. The mixture was allowed to slowly warm to room temp overnight providing a yellow suspension. The mixture was carefully added to a mixture of ice, saturated aqueous NH ₄ C1, and EtOAc with stirring. Much of the solid was difficult to remove and was transferred with the aid of MeOH. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with MgSO/t, filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with a l OOg SNAP column ramping DCM:MeOH (90: 10) in DCM from 0 - 30%, then isocratic at 30% (monitoring at 215 nm) providing a mixture of isomers of tert-butyl ((l S,4r)-4-(((S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl- l-phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)carbamate (5.28 g, 14.57 mmol, 42.6 % yield) as a yellow solid as. NMR indicated about a 3 : 1 mixture of isomers. A later assessment of intermediate 4 established a 3 : 1 mixture of enantiomers implying partial racemization had occurred in this step.

[0171 ] Step 3 : tert-Butyl ((l S,4r)-4-((S)-5,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-4- phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)cyclohexyl)carbamate

[0172] To a flask charged with tert-butyl ((l S,4r)-4-(((S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl- l -phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)carbamate (5.2 g, 14.34 mmol) were added THF (57.4 mL), and DIEA (12.53 mL, 71.7 mmol). The mixture was cooled in an ice water bath prior to the addition of triphosgene (4.26 g, 14.34 mmol). The resulting yellow suspension was allowed to stir and warm slowly to room temperature overnight. LC- MS of the yellow suspension indicated the desired product as the main peak (observed as carbamic acid, with t-butyl lost) with consumption of starting material. To the mixture was added water, and the resulting orange solution was transferred to a separatory funnel, diluted with brine, and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried under reduced pressure and purified with a 200 g (15 μηι spherical silica, Interchim) column, flow rate 65 mL/min ramping DCM:MeOH (90: 10) in DCM, from 0 - 30%, then isocratic at 30% (monitoring at 215 nm) providing some separation of regioisomers with peak slicing yielding the trans:cis product in 50% yield (-4: 1).

The temperature was slowly allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 hours at ambient temperature. After completion of the reaction, monitored by TLC (TLC eluent: 10% MeOH in CHC1 ₃ , Ninhydrin stain active), the reaction mixture was concentrated to remove MeOH. Water was added to form a white precipitate. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then the precipitate was filtered and washed with water. The filtrate (aqueous layer) was extracted with EtOAc (2 x 150mL). The extract was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl solution and separated and further dried on anhydrous Na ₂ S0 ₄ . Following filtration, the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford tert-butyl ((lr,4r)-4-aminocyclohexyl)carbamate as a white solid (2.6 g, 27.70 %).

(commercially available from Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA) (2.000 mL, 14.07 mmol) were added DCM (56.3 mL), DIEA (5.16 mL, 29.5 mmol), HATU (5.35 g, 14.07 mmol) and 8-aminoquinoline (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (2.130 g, 14.77 mmol) respectively. The resulting light brown suspension was stirred overnight at room temperature without much color change but complete dissolution of materials. LC-MS indicated product as the primary species. The solution was dried under reduced pressure and purified ramping with EtOAc in heptane from 0 - 50%, then isocratic at 50% which led to the system clogging up a bit due to

precipitation of product. Product eluted following a less polar impurity and the system was flushed with DCM:MeOH:NH ₄ OH (90: 10: 1) to elute the remainder of the product.

(commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (1.182 g, 5.86 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.581 g, 7.46 mmol) respectively. The resulting orange suspension was stirred at room temperature overnight. After overnight stirring, LC-MS indicated about 50% conversion with two higher molecular weight minor impurities present. Additional (S)-(+)-2-phenylglycine methyl ester hydrochloride (1.182 g, 5.86 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at room temp followed by addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.581 g, 7.46 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. LC-MS indicated complete conversion after this additional reaction time. To the mixture was added 1 N NaOH (-100 mL), and the resulting suspension was transferred to a separatory funnel with some DCM dilution. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase extracted with DCM (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was purified with a 100 g SNAP column (Biotage) ramping EtOAc in heptane (0 - 35%, then isocratic at 35%) leading to isolation of (S)-methyl 2-phenyl-2-(((ls,4R)-4-(quinolin-8- ylcarbamoyl)cyclohexyl)amino)acetate (1.45 g, 3.47 mmol, 65.2 % yield) as a yellow sticky foam. Further ramping of the gradient to 100% EtOAc led to elution of trans isomer (S)-methyl 2-phenyl-2-(((lr,4S)-4-(quinolin-8- ylcarbamoyl)cyclohexyl)amino)acetate (0.333 g, 0.798 mmol, 14.97 % yield). The cis/trans relationship was determined after the fact by x-ray crystal structure analysis of the final compound in this scheme.

The resulting dark yellow solution was cooled in an ice water bath and then methylmagnesium bromide (3.0 M in diethyl ether) (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (1.595 mL, 4.79 mmol) was added dropwise leading to the formation of a tan precipitate. After 15 minutes, the ice bath was removed and the resulting suspension stirred at room temperature for 3 hours providing a red colored mixture. The suspension was added to an Erlenmeyer containing ice cold aqueous NH ₄ C1 and EtOAc. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, the organic layer separated and the aqueous phase extracted once more with EtOAc.

The resulting mixture was cooled in an ice water bath giving a yellow solution. To the solution was added triphosgene (286 mg, 0.964 mmol) which lead to the formation of a yellow/white precipitate within 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The orange suspension was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHCOs. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ SO/t, filtered, and dried under reduced pressure.

[0359] A round bottom flask with a stir bar was dried under high vacuum and placed under nitrogen prior to the addition of methylmagnesium bromide (3.0 M in diethyl ether) (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (2.381 mL, 7.14 mmol). The solution was cooled in an ice water bath. In a separate flask, (S)- methyl 2-phenyl-2-(((lr,4S)-4-(quinolin-8-ylcarbamoyl)cyclohexyl)am ino)acetate (0.497 g, 1.190 mmol) was dried under reduced pressure, placed under nitrogen and dissolved in Et ₂ 0 (1.7 mL). The solution was added dropwise to the cooled Grignard solution. This lead to the initial formation of a precipitate which then formed a red solution followed by eventual precipitation. The vial containing starting material was washed with another 1 mL of Et ₂ 0, and this was transferred to the cooled reaction mixture. The ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After this time, the solvent had evaporated despite only using a needle for nitrogen flow. To the mixture was added THF (2 mL) leading to near complete solubilization. The thick red mixture was poured carefully into cold NH ₄ C1 (ice present) with EtOAc (~25 mL). The transfer was aided by an EtOAc wash. The resulting mixture was separated in a separatory funnel. The organic layer was dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered and dried under reduced pressure. The crude brown oil was purified with a 50 g SNAP column (Biotage) ramping EtOAc in heptane (0 - 35%, then isocratic at 35%) to provide (l S,4r)-4-(((S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl- l- phenylpropyl)amino)-N-(quinolin-8-yl)cyclohexanecarboxamide (0.190 g, 0.455 mmol, 38.2 % yield) as a pale yellow foam upon drying, m/z (ESI) 418.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

The resulting mixture was cooled in an ice water bath giving a yellow solution. To the solution was added triphosgene (131 mg, 0.443 mmol) leading to the formation of a yellow/white precipitate within 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature, although after 1 hour the reaction looked to be near completion according to LC-MS. The orange suspension was quenched by the addition of saturated aqueous NaHC0 ₃ . The mixture was then transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure.

[0372] Steps 1 and 2: N^l,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)benzene ,2-diamine and l-(l,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)-lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)- one [0373] The compounds N ¹ -(l,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)benzene-l,2- diamine and l-(l,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)-lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)- one were prepared using the method described in U.S. Patent No. 6,867,222 and PCT Publication No. WO 2002/085357 both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

[0374] Step 3: l-(4-Oxocyclohexyl)-lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one

[0375] To a flask charged with l-(l,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)- lH- benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (1.100 g, 4.01 mmol) were added acetone (7.29 mL) and water (0.729 mL) followd by PPTS (1.310 g, 5.21 mmol). The resulting light brown solution was heated at reflux overnight. Water was then added to the mixture leading to an oiling out of the organics. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The oil thus obtained was purified with a 50 g SNAP column (Biotage) ramping DCM:MeOH:NH ₄ OH (90: 10: 1) in DCM from 0 - 35% leading to coelution of product and starting material. The mixture was used in the next step without further purification. The mixture containing l-(4-oxocyclohexyl)-lH- benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (0.685 g, 2.97 mmol, 74.2 % yield) was obtained as a brown foam, m/z (ESI) 231.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

[0376] Step 4: (S)-Methyl 2-(((lr,4S)-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-lH- benzo[d]imidazol-l-yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate and (S)-methyl 2-(((ls,4R)- 4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro- lH-benzo[d]imidazol-l-yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate [0377] To a flask charged with l-(4-oxocyclohexyl)-lH-benzo[d]imidazol-

2(3H)-one (0.685 g, 2.97 mmol) were added DCE (14.87 mL), AcOH (0.221 mL, 3.87 mmol), (S)-(+)-2-phenylglycine methyl ester hydrochloride (commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI) (0.660 g, 3.27 mmol) and sodium

triacetoxyborohydride (0.883 g, 4.16 mmol) respectively. The resulting orange suspension was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours leading to consumption of starting ketone. To the mixture was added 1 N NaOH. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with DCM (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with a 5 g SCX-2 column washing first with MeOH (eluents dried to give 300 mg of ketal, from prior experiment), then with 2 M NH ₃ in MeOH to provide a residue containing the product. This residue thus obtained was purified with silica gel chromatography, leading to isolation of two isomers, one major, but the major material still had impurity present. This material was repurified using Gilson RP-HPLC ramping ACN in H ₂ 0 (10-90%, 0.1% TFA throughout) leading to isolation of product (cis) as a TFA salt (S)-methyl 2-(((lr,4S)-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro- lH-benzo[d]imidazol- l-yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate (0.078 g, 0.164 mmol, 5.50 % yield). Note: partial racemization likely occurred in this step, but the extent of which was not determined. The minor isomer (trans) was obtained directly from regular phase chromatography (S)-methyl 2-(((l s,4R)-4-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro- lH-benzo[d]imidazol- 1 - yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate (0.037 g, 0.098 mmol, 3.28 % yield), m/z (ESI) 380.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

[0379] To a flask containing a stir bar was added (S)-methyl 2-(((lr,4S)-4-(2- oxo-2,3-dihydro- lH-benzo[d]imidazol- l-yl)cyclohexyl)amino)-2-phenylacetate (0.035 g, 0.092 mmol) which had been dried under high vacuum and placed under nitrogen. Dry THF (0.419 mL) was then added to the reaction vessel. The resulting suspension was cooled in an ice water bath prior to the dropwise addition of methylmagnesium bromide 3.0 M in diethyl ether (0.066 mL, 0.553 mmol) leading to solubilization. The solution was stirred at 0°C for 15 minutes and then the ice bath was removed and stirring was continued for 1 hour leading to a turbid brown mixture. The mixture was added to an Erlenmeyer flask containing ice cold NH ₄ C1 and EtOAc. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, the organic layer separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried under reduced pressure and purified with a 2 g SCX-2 column loading with MeOH and washing with MeOH, followed by 2 M NH ₃ in MeOH. The basic wash was dried under reduced pressure. The material thus obtained was used in the next step without further purification. l-((l S,4r)-4-(((S)-2-Hydroxy-2-methyl- l - phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)- lH-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (0.029 g, 0.076 mmol, 83 % yield) was obtained as a light yellow solid, m/z (ESI) 380.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

The resulting solution was cooled in an ice water bath prior to the addition of triphosgene (0.025 g, 0.084 mmol). After 15 minutes, the ice bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. LC-MS indicated product and starting material (~3 :2 product: starting material) were both present. Additional DIEA (0.015 mL, 0.084 mmol) and triphosgene (0.025 g, 0.084 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. MeOH was carefully added to the mixture to quench remaining triphosgene. The resulting solution was dried under reduced pressure and purified using a 25 g HP, 15 μιη spherical silica column (Interchim) ramping EtOAc in heptane from 0 - 35%, then isocratic at 35% leading to isolation of product as a film which was lyophilized from MeOH:H ₂ 0 providing (S)-5,5-dimethyl-3-((lr,4S)-4-(2- oxo-2,3-dihydro- lH-benzo[d]imidazol- l -yl)cyclohexyl)-4-phenyloxazolidin-2-one (6.00 mg, 0.015 mmol, 19.36 % yield) as a white solid.

The resulting bright yellow solution was heated overnight at 120°C leading to conversion to the desired product as the primary species along with a more polar impurity according to LC-MS. The mixture was diluted with water, transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S04, filtered, and dried under reduced pressure providing a bright yellow solid which was triturated with DCM providing tert-butyl ((lr,4r)-4-((3-nitropyridin-2-yl)amino)cyclohexyl)carbamate (1.51 g, 4.49 mmol, 48.1 % yield) as a bright yellow solid. ^l H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d ₆ ) δ = 8.49 (dd, J = 1.8, 4.5 Hz, 1 H), 8.41 (dd, J= 1.8, 8.4 Hz, 1 H), 8.06 (d, J= 7.7 Hz, 1 H), 6.79 - 6.69 (m, 2 H), 4.13 - 4.00 (m, J= 3.9, 7.4, 7.4, 1 1.3 Hz, 1 H), 3.29 - 3.20 (m, 1 H), 2.01 - 1.92 (m, 2 H), 1.82 (d, J= 10.6 Hz, 2 H), 1.55 - 1.41 (m, 2 H), 1.38 (s, 9 H), 1.35 - 1.21 (m, 2 H). m/z (ESI) 281.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

The resulting suspension was cooled in an ice water bath prior to the addition of triphosgene (0.804 g, 2.71 mmol) leading to the immediate formation of a precipitate product. To the solid were added additional THF (-15 mL) and a small amount of water. The resulting solid was collected by vacuum filtration and washed with water followed by diethyl ether and dried under high vacuum providing product as a white solid (420 mg). The filtrate was analyzed by LC-MS which indicated the presence of additional solid. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x).

The resulting suspension was stirred for 15 minutes prior to the addition of sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.61 1 g, 2.88 mmol). The resulting suspension was then stirred overnight at 60°C leading to formation of product along with significant reduced alcohol and starting amine still remaining. Additional ketone (2 eq) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (0.61 1 g, 2.88 mmol) were added, and the resulting mixture was stirred at 60°C. After 2 hours of stirring, LC-MS indicated starting material consumption and additional product present. Water was added to the mixture which was then transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with EtOAc (2x). The combined organic layers were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure providing a residue. The residue was purified with a 25 g SNAP column (Biotage) ramping DCM:MeOH (90: 10) in DCM from 0 - 30%, then isocratic at 30% providing impurity elution, then ramping to 100% polar eluent to provide 3-((lr,4r)-4- ((2-hydroxy-2-methyl-l-phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)-lH-imi dazo[4,5-b]pyridin- 2(3H)-one (0.255 g, 0.670 mmol, 46.5 % yield), m/z (ESI) 381.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

The resulting suspension was stirred at 0°C and allowed to slowly warm to room temperature. The mixture was then cooled in an ice water bath and additional triphosgene was added (130 mg) while stirring continued. After 15 minutes, LC-MS indicated cyclization had occurred along with over-acylation as indicated by the masses of the over-acylated acid and ester. After 20 minutes of stirring at room temperature, no additional conversion was observed. Therefore, an additional 0.5 eq of triphosgene was added (98 mg) and stirring at room temperature was continued. After another hour, only minor additional conversion was observed.

To a flask charged with l-((lr,4r)-4-((2-hydroxy-l-phenylpropyl)amino)cyclohexyl)-2- oxo-2,3- dihydro-lH-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carbonitrile (0.132 g, 0.338 mmol) was added THF (1.352 mL) and DIEA (0.177 mL, 1.014 mmol). The solution was cooled in a dry ice/acetone bath. In a separate vial was added triphosgene (0.100 g, 0.338 mmol) and THF (200 μί). The triphosgene solution was added dropwise to the solution of starting material at -78 °C. After 10 mins, the mixture had become a yellow suspension. LC-MS indicated -80 conversion to a mono-acylated intermediate (methyl 6-cyano-3-((lr,4r)-4- (5-methyl-2-oxo-4-phenyloxazolidin-3-yl)cyclohexyl)-2-oxo-2, 3-dihydro-lH- benzo[d]imidazole- l-carboxylate) observed. The bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. EtOAc and water were then added to the mixture. The resulting mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted 2x with EtOAc. The combined organics were dried with Na ₂ S0 ₄ , filtered, and dried under reduced pressure providing (136 mg) of a yellow solid. To the mixture was added MeOH (5 mL) and K ₂ C0 ₃ (690 mg) (1M). The mixture was shaken at 90 °C for 90 mins and LC-MS indicated cleavage of acyl group. The solvent was decanted and dried under reduced pressure. The material thus obtained was triturated with MeOH and the solid was collected with vacuum filtration. The filtrate contained product as a mixture of diastereomers and was obtained as a white film (48 mg). m/z (ESI) 417.2 (M+H) ⁺ .

[0936] SW480 cells were grown in RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen, 72400-047), 10%

HI FBS (Invitrogen, 16140-071), lx sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen, 1 1360-070), 750 ug/mL Geneticin® antibiotic (Invitrogen, 10131-027) and 10 μg/mL Blasticidin S antibiotic (Invitrogen, R210-01). On the day of the assay, cells were trypsinized

(Invitrogen, 25200-056) to remove cells from flask and media was added. The cells were then centrifuged at 300 RCF for 5 minutes, and the media was removed and replaced with assay media (RPMI 1640 (Invitrogen, 72400-047), 10% HI FBS (Invitrogen, 16140-071), and lx sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen, 1 1360-070)). The cells were then counted using a ViCell and plated at 2,500 cells per well in 60 μΐ _^ of assay media in Perkin Elmer Black 384 ViewPlates (Fisher, 509052489). Compounds (0.5 μΐ. in 100% DMSO) were diluted using a FlexDrop by adding 13.8 of assay media to columns 1-22 (resulting in 3.5% DMSO). Control compound was added to column 23 at a concentration of 14 μΜ, and 3.5% DMSO (HI). DMSO in assay media (3.5%) was added to column 24 (LO). Using a VPrep, 10 μΐ _^ of compound/controls was transferred from the compound plate to 60 μΐ _^ in the cell plate (final 0.5% DMSO, 70 μί). The mixture was incubated for 24 hours at 37° C at 5% C0 ₂ .

[0937] The assay media was aspirated off the cells using a BioTek plate washer, and the cells were then washed with 50 μΐ _^ of PBS (Invitrogen, 14040-1 17). The extra media was tapped out. 50 μΐ. of 4% paraformaldehyde (Fisher, AA433689M), 0.1% Triton (Sigma, X100-100ML) in PBS were added, and the mixture was incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. The eels were then washed with PBS, 0.1% Tween-20 (BioRad, 1610781), and 1% Normal Goat Serum (Fisher, NC9270494). The extra media was tapped out and to this was added 50 μΐ _^ of buffer containing Axin2 Antibody (Sigma, SAB1 100677-200UL) at 1 : 10000 in PBS, 0.1% Tween-20, 1% Normal Goat Serum. The mixture was incubated for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. The cells were then washed twice with PBS, 0.1% Tween-20, and 1% Normal Goat Serum. To the cells was added 50 μΐ _^ Secondary Alexa 488 Antibody (Invitrogen, Al 1008) at 0.5 μg/mL and Hoechst (Invitrogen,H3570) at 1 μg/mL in PBS, 0.1% Tween-20, and 1% Normal Goat Serum. The mixture was then incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. The cells were then washed twice with PBS, 0.1% Tween-20, and 1% Normal Goat Serum. 50- 100 μΐ _^ PBS was added, and the mixture was covered with a plate seal (Fisher, NC9425162). An ArrayScan (a variation of the compartmental analysis protocol was optimized) was used to scan the plates, and data was analyzed using

MEAN_RingSpotAvgIntenCh2). The Axin2 accumulation POC was calculated, and the EC50 was determined using Genedata Screener software to report Axin2 activity.

[0938] Total β-Catenin MSD 96-Well Plate Assay for SW480 cells

[0939] SW480 colorectal cells were seeded at a density of 10,000/well in

CellBIND 96-well plates (Corning catalog no. 3300) in 60 μΐ _^ of normal growth medium (MEM alpha supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS, GlutaMAX, pyruvate, and 10 mM HEPES).

[0940] A 10-point, 3-fold dilution series for each TNKS inhibitor was constructed in a 96-well "stock" plate. Twenty microliters of each diluted compound was transferred from the "stock" plate into the plate containing the SW-480 cells resulting in a 1 :4 dilution of the compounds and resulted in final vehicle (DMSO) concentration of 0.1%. The top concentration of TNKS inhibitors tested was 10μΜ. DMSO alone (0.1%) served as the "HI" control and a potent tankyrase inhibitor at a final concentration of 20 μΜ served as the "LO" control for IC ₅₀ calculations. The plates were incubated at 37 °C for 40 to 48 hours. The media was removed from the CellBIND plate via plate inversion and gentle shaking and the inverted plate was touched to a paper towel and immediately placed on ice. Cell lysis was achieved with 75 μΐ _^ I well MSD lysis buffer containing following protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Protease inhibitor tablet, Roche catalog no. 1 1836153001 ; PhosSTOP phosphatase inhibitor tablet, Roche cat. No. 04906845001 ; 10 mM NaF) as well as 1 mM EDTA and 1 mM EGTA. Plates containing cell lysates were sealed and shaken for one hour at 4°C and then quickly frozen in a -80°C for approximately 15 to 30 minutes followed by gradually thawing at 4°C. Finally, lysate containing plates were centrifuged @ 1000 x g (2073 rpm) for 10 minutes at 4°C.

[0941 ] A goat anti-rabbit MSD plate (catalog no. L41 RA- 1 ) was coated with 25 μΐ _^ of 5 μg/mL of Cell Signaling anti-total β-catenin polyclonal (catalog no. 9562, lyophilized, carrier- free special order) which had been reconstituted with TBS. The sealed MSD plate was incubated overnight in a cold room with gentle shaking. The MSD plate was then blocked with 150 μΐ _^ of Blocker "A" per well and incubated overnight at 4°C with vigorous shaking. The blocked MSD plate was washed 4 times with 150 nL/well TBS-T wash buffer (150 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 0.02% Tween-20). Cell lysates (75 μί) were transferred to prepared MSD plates and incubated at 4°C ON with gentle shaking. The next day MSD plates were washed 4 times with TBS-T wash buffer and 25 μΙ,ΛνεΙΙ of detection antibody at a concentration of 1 μg/mL BD

Biosciences anti- total β-catenin mAb (catalog no. 610153) conjugated to SULFO-TAG in MSD Antibody Diluent (catalog no. R50AA-2) was added. The detection antibody was incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with vigorous shaking after which plates were washed 3 times with 150 μΕ/well TBS-T wash buffer. Plates were processed for analysis by the addition of 150 MSD Read 4X Buffer T with surfactant (catalog no. R92TC-2; diluted 1 :3 in deionized water) and were read on the SECTOR Imager 6000.

[0942] Colony Formation Assays

[0943] Colorectal cell lines grown under normal logarithmic growth conditions in 10% FBS were trypsinized, counted in a Vi-CELL Cell Viability Analyzer and diluted to 400 cells/mL in RPMI media containing 0.5% FBS. Cells were plated in 12 well plates using 0.5 mL of diluted cells for a total of 200 cells/well. Tankyrase inhibitors were diluted in RPMI (0.5% FBS) at 2X final concentration. Ten concentrations of compound were prepared starting at 20 μΜ and serially diluted by 2 fold and 0.5 mL of diluted compound was added to each well. The final concentration range tested was thus 10 μΜ down to 20 nM. Two additional wells per plate were treated with the vehicle control (0.1% DMSO). The cells were grown for 12 days with the media and the compounds changed at day 6. Colonies were visualized by fixing and staining with Crystal Violet dye diluted in IX fixation solution (2% formaldehyde, 0.2%, glutaraldehyde inlX PBS) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The plates were washed extensively and air dried. Images of plates were captured and the colony counts were performed using the

Bioreader® (Biosys) reader.

[0944] Tankyrase 1 and 2 Assays

[0945] The tankyrase 1 biochemical activity of the compounds was assayed in the following assay buffer (50 mM MOPS pH7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM MgCl ₂ , 0.01% Tween-20, 0.05% BSA, and ImM DTT) as follows: 0.25 nM of 6XHIS-tankyrasel (1091-1325) was incubated in the presence of compound (DMSO 1.85% final) in a Perkin Elmer 384 well Proxiplate Plus™ (cat.no. 6008289) with 400 nM of NAD for 60 minutes at room temperature. The assay was then stopped with the above assay buffer containing a 0.6 μΜ inhibitor and the following detection components: 0.05 μg/mL monoclonal anti- PAR antibody (Trevigen cat.no. 4335-MC-OlK-AC) prebound for 60 minutes with 0.63 μg/mL protein G AlphaLisa ^® acceptor bead (Perkin Elmer cat.no. AL102M) and 5 μg/mL AlphaLisa ^® nickel chelate donor bead (Perkin Elmer cat.no. AS 101 M). The assay was incubated for 16 hours at room temperature in the dark and read on a Perkin Elmer Envision ^® multi label reader using the default program set with laser excitation at 680 nM and emission at 615 nM.

[0946] The tankyrase 2 biochemical assay was performed using the procedure set forth above with respect to tankyrase 1 except that 4 nM 6XHIS-tankyrase 2 (946- 1 162) and 250 nM NAD were used.

[0947] 2H9-STF Assay. Wnt Ligand Activated HEK-293 Assay in WT APC

Cellular Context

[0948] HEK-293 cells engineered with an 8X TCF promoter-driven Firefly (FF) luciferase gene (Wnt reporter) along with an SV40 promoter-driven Renilla (RN) luciferase gene (control reporter) were used to measure the potency of tankyrase compounds in the context of Wnt ligand activation in a wild-type (non-APC mutated) cellular background. The engineered HEK-293 cells were plated (25 vV) at a density of 40,000 cells/well in black, clear-bottom, 96-well View plates (PerkinElmer) in normal growth medium (DMEM withl0%FBS with no antibiotics). Tankyrase inhibitors (5 were transferred to cells from a three-fold serially diluted compound plate. A 10-point dilution series was tested starting at a concentration (10 μΜ final concentration in assay). Column 6 contained only DMSO and served as the "HI" control. Cells and compounds were incubated together for 1 hour at 37°C after which the Wnt3a ligand (pathway inducer) was added to all wells except column 12 which served as the "LO" control. Twenty microliters of diluted recombinant mouse Wnt3a (R & D Systems) was added to the cells for a final concentration of 200 ng/mL (5 nM which is the Wnt3a ~ EC80) and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 18 to 24 hours. The Dual-Glo Reagents (Promega) were added as directed by manufacturer to assay the FF and RN luciferase activity. Luciferase activity was measures using the EnVision multilabel plate reader

(PerkinElmer).

[0949] DLD-l-STF Assay. Constitutively Activated Wnt Pathway Assay in

Mutant APC Cancer Cell Context

[0950] DLD-1 colorectal cells engineered with an 8X TCF promoter-driven

Firefly (FF) luciferase gene (Wnt reporter) along with an EFla promoter-driven Renilla (RN) luciferase gene (control reporter) were used to measure the potency of tankyrase compounds in the context of the constitutively activated Wnt pathway due to mutated APC in colorectal cancer cells. The engineered DLD-1 cells were plated (45 μί) at a density of 10,000 cells/well in black, clear-bottom, 96-well View plates (PerkinElmer) in normal growth medium (RPMI withl0%FBS with no antibiotics). Tankyrase inhibitors (5 μί) were transferred to cells from a three-fold serially diluted compound plate. A 10- point dilution series was tested starting at a concentration (10 μΜ final concentration in assay). Column 6 contained only DMSO and served as the "HI" control. A potent Tankyrase inhibitor was used at a final concentration of 10 uM in column 12 which served as the "LO" control. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 40 to 48 hours. The Dual-Glo Reagents (Promega) were added as directed by manufacturer to assay the FF and RN luciferase activity. Luciferase activity was measures using the EnVision multilabel plate reader (PerkinElmer).
