COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF Background

The invention relates to compounds useful for modulating BRG1- or BRM-associated factors (BAF) complexes. In particular, the invention relates to compounds useful for treatment of disorders associated with BAF complex function.

Chromatin regulation is essential for gene expression, and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is a mechanism by which such gene expression occurs. The human Switch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex, also known as BAF complex, has two SWI2-like ATPases known as BRG1 (Brahma-related gene-1) and BRM (Brahma). The transcription activator BRG1, also known as ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler SMARCA4, is encoded by the SMARCA4 gene on chromosome 19. BRG1 is overexpressed in some cancer tumors and is needed for cancer cell proliferation. BRM, also known as probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 and/or ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler SMARCA2, is encoded by the SMARCA2 gene on chromosome 9 and has been shown to be essential for tumor cell growth in cells characterized by loss of BRG1 function mutations. Deactivation of BRG and/or BRM results in downstream effects in cells, including cell cycle arrest and tumor suppression. Summary

The present invention features compounds useful for modulating a BAF complex. In some embodiments, the compounds are useful for the treatment of disorders associated with an alteration in a BAF complex, e.g., a disorder associated with an alteration in one or both of the BRG1 and BRM proteins. The compounds of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating such disorders.

Compounds of the invention can have one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and can exist in the form of optically pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers such as, for example, racemates, optically pure diastereoisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates, or mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates. The optically active forms can be obtained for example by resolution of the racemates, by asymmetric synthesis or asymmetric chromatography (chromatography with a chiral adsorbents or eluant). That is, certain of the disclosed compounds may exist in various stereoisomeric forms. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement. Enantiomers are pairs of stereoisomers whose mirror images are not superimposable, most commonly because they contain an asymmetrically substituted carbon atom that acts as a chiral center. "Enantiomer" means one of a pair of molecules that are mirror images of each other and are not superimposable. Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not related as mirror images, most commonly because they contain two or more asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms and represent the configuration of substituents around one or more chiral carbon atoms. Enantiomers of a compound can be prepared, for example, by separating an enantiomer from a racemate using one or more well-known techniques and methods, such as, for example, chiral chromatography and separation methods based thereon. The appropriate technique and/or method for separating an enantiomer of a compound described herein from a racemic mixture can be readily determined by those of skill in the art. "Racemate" or "racemic mixture" means a compound containing two enantiomers, wherein such mixtures exhibit no optical activity; i.e., they do not rotate the plane of polarized light.“Geometric isomer" means isomers that differ in the orientation of substituent atoms in relationship to a carbon-carbon double bond, to a cycloalkyl ring, or to a bridged bicyclic system. Atoms (other than H) on each side of a carbon- carbon double bond may be in an E (substituents are on opposite sides of the carbon- carbon double bond) or Z (substituents are oriented on the same side) configuration. "R," "S," "S*," "R*," "E," "Z," "cis," and "trans," indicate configurations relative to the core molecule. Certain of the disclosed compounds may exist in atropisomeric forms. Atropisomers are stereoisomers resulting from hindered rotation about single bonds where the steric strain barrier to rotation is high enough to allow for the isolation of the conformers. The compounds of the invention may be prepared as individual isomers by either isomer-specific synthesis or resolved from an isomeric mixture. Conventional resolution techniques include forming the salt of a free base of each isomer of an isomeric pair using an optically active acid (followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free base), forming the salt of the acid form of each isomer of an isomeric pair using an optically active amine (followed by fractional crystallization and regeneration of the free acid), forming an ester or amide of each of the isomers of an isomeric pair using an optically pure acid, amine or alcohol (followed by chromatographic separation and removal of the chiral auxiliary), or resolving an isomeric mixture of either a starting material or a final product using various well known chromatographic methods. When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, the named or depicted stereoisomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by weight relative to the other

stereoisomers. When a single enantiomer is named or depicted by structure, the depicted or named enantiomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by weight optically pure. When a single diastereomer is named or depicted by structure, the depicted or named diastereomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by weight pure. Percent optical purity is the ratio of the weight of the enantiomer or over the weight of the enantiomer plus the weight of its optical isomer. Diastereomeric purity by weight is the ratio of the weight of one diastereomer or over the weight of all the diastereomers. When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, the named or depicted stereoisomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by mole fraction pure relative to the other stereoisomers. When a single enantiomer is named or depicted by structure, the depicted or named enantiomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by mole fraction pure. When a single diastereomer is named or depicted by structure, the depicted or named diastereomer is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% by mole fraction pure. Percent purity by mole fraction is the ratio of the moles of the enantiomer or over the moles of the enantiomer plus the moles of its optical isomer.

Similarly, percent purity by moles fraction is the ratio of the moles of the diastereomer or over the moles of the diastereomer plus the moles of its isomer. When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry, and the compound has at least one chiral center, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses either enantiomer of the compound free from the corresponding optical isomer, a racemic mixture of the compound, or mixtures enriched in one enantiomer relative to its corresponding optical isomer. When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating the stereochemistry and has two or more chiral centers, it is to be understood that the name or structure encompasses a diastereomer free of other diastereomers, a number of diastereomers free from other diastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers, mixtures of diastereomeric pairs, mixtures of diastereomers in which one diastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomer(s), or mixtures of diastereomers in which one or more diastereomer is enriched relative to the other diastereomers. The invention embraces all of these forms. Compounds of the present disclosure also include all of the isotopes of the atoms occurring in the intermediate or final compounds.“Isotopes” refers to atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers resulting from a different number of neutrons in the nuclei. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium.

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. Exemplary isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ² H, ³ H, ¹¹ C, ¹³ C, ¹⁴ C, ¹³ N, ¹⁵ N, ¹⁵ O, ¹⁷ O, ¹⁸ O, ³² P, ³³ P, ³⁵ S, ¹⁸ F, ³⁶ Cl, ¹²³ I and ¹²⁵ I. Isotopically-labeled compounds (e.g., those labeled with ³ H and ¹⁴ C) can be useful in compound or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., ³ H) and carbon-14 (i.e., ¹⁴ C) isotopes can be useful for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ² H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements). In some embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by ² H or ³ H, or one or more carbon atoms are replaced by ¹³ C- or ¹⁴ C-enriched carbon. Positron emitting isotopes such as ¹⁵ O, ¹³ N, ¹¹ C, and ¹⁸ F are useful for positron emission tomography (PET) studies to examine substrate receptor occupancy.

Preparations of isotopically labelled compounds are known to those of skill in the art. For example, isotopically labeled compounds can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed for compounds of the present invention described herein, by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.

In some embodiments, the delivery of the two or more agents is simultaneous or concurrent and the agents may be co-formulated. In some embodiments, the two or more agents are not co-formulated and are administered in a sequential manner as part of a prescribed regimen. In some embodiments,

administration of two or more agents or treatments in combination is such that the reduction in a symptom, or other parameter related to the disorder is greater than what would be observed with one agent or treatment delivered alone or in the absence of the other. The effect of the two treatments can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive (e.g., synergistic). Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent can be effected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents can be administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the combination may be administered by intravenous injection while a second therapeutic agent of the combination may be administered orally.

Pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated, for example, for oral administration in unit dosage form (e.g., a tablet, capsule, caplet, gelcap, or syrup); for topical administration (e.g., as a cream, gel, lotion, or ointment); for intravenous administration (e.g., as a sterile solution free of particulate emboli and in a solvent system suitable for intravenous use); or in any other pharmaceutically acceptable formulation.

A“pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,” as used herein, refers to any ingredient other than the compounds described herein (for example, a vehicle capable of suspending or dissolving the active compound) and having the properties of being substantially nontoxic and non-inflammatory in a patient. Excipients may include, for example: antiadherents, antioxidants, binders, coatings, compression aids, disintegrants, dyes (colors), emollients, emulsifiers, fillers (diluents), film formers or coatings, flavors, fragrances, glidants (flow enhancers), lubricants, preservatives, printing inks, sorbents, suspensing or dispersing agents, sweeteners, and waters of hydration. Exemplary excipients include, but are not limited to: butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate (dibasic), calcium stearate, croscarmellose, crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, citric acid, crospovidone, cysteine, ethylcellulose, gelatin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, maltitol, mannitol, methionine, methylcellulose, methyl paraben, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, povidone, pregelatinized starch, propyl paraben, retinyl palmitate, shellac, silicon dioxide, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium citrate, sodium starch glycolate, sorbitol, starch (corn), stearic acid, sucrose, talc, titanium dioxide, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, and xylitol.

As used herein, the term“pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means any pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound, for example, any compound of Formula I. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the compounds described herein may include those that are within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are described in: Berge et al., J. Pharmaceutical Sciences 66:1-19, 1977 and in Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use, (Eds. P.H. Stahl and C.G. Wermuth), Wiley-VCH, 2008. The salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds described herein or separately by reacting a free base group with a suitable organic acid.

The compounds of the invention may have ionizable groups so as to be capable of preparation as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. These salts may be acid addition salts involving inorganic or organic acids or the salts may, in the case of acidic forms of the compounds of the invention be prepared from inorganic or organic bases. Frequently, the compounds are prepared or used as pharmaceutically acceptable salts prepared as addition products of pharmaceutically acceptable acids or bases. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acids and bases and methods for preparation of the appropriate salts are well-known in the art. Salts may be prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids and bases including inorganic and organic acids and bases. Representative acid addition salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptonate, hexanoate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, 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, toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, and valerate salts.

By a“reference” is meant any useful reference used to compare protein or RNA levels. The reference can be any sample, standard, standard curve, or level that is used for comparison purposes. The reference can be a normal reference sample or a reference standard or level. A“reference sample” can be, for example, a control, e.g., a predetermined negative control value such as a“normal control” or a prior sample taken from the same subject; a sample from a normal healthy subject, such as a normal cell or normal tissue; a sample (e.g., a cell or tissue) from a subject not having a disease; a sample from a subject that is diagnosed with a disease, but not yet treated with a compound of the invention; a sample from a subject that has been treated by a compound of the invention; or a sample of a purified protein or RNA (e.g., any described herein) at a known normal concentration. By“reference standard or level” is meant a value or number derived from a reference sample. A“normal control value” is a pre-determined value indicative of non-disease state, e.g., a value expected in a healthy control subject. Typically, a normal control value is expressed as a range (“between X and Y”), a high threshold (“no higher than X”), or a low threshold (“no lower than X”). A subject having a measured value within the normal control value for a particular biomarker is typically referred to as“within normal limits” for that biomarker. A normal reference standard or level can be a value or number derived from a normal subject not having a disease or disorder (e.g., cancer); a subject that has been treated with a compound of the invention. In preferred embodiments, the reference sample, standard, or level is matched to the sample subject sample by at least one of the following criteria: age, weight, sex, disease stage, and overall health. A standard curve of levels of a purified protein or RNA, e.g., any described herein, within the normal reference range can also be used as a reference.

As used herein, the term“subject” refers to any organism to which a composition in accordance with the invention may be administered, e.g., for experimental, diagnostic, prophylactic, and/or therapeutic purposes. Typical subjects include any animal (e.g., mammals such as mice, rats, rabbits, non-human primates, and humans). A subject may seek or be in need of treatment, require treatment, be receiving treatment, be receiving treatment in the future, or be a human or animal who is under care by a trained professional for a particular disease or condition.

As used herein, the terms "treat," "treated," or "treating" mean therapeutic treatment or any measures whose object is to slow down (lessen) an undesired physiological condition, disorder, or disease, or obtain beneficial or desired clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; diminishment of the extent of a condition, disorder, or disease; stabilized (i.e., not worsening) state of condition, disorder, or disease; delay in onset or slowing of condition, disorder, or disease progression; amelioration of the condition, disorder, or disease state or remission (whether partial or total); an amelioration of at least one measurable physical parameter, not necessarily discernible by the patient; or enhancement or improvement of condition, disorder, or disease. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without excessive levels of side effects. Treatment also includes prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Compounds of the invention may also be used to“prophylactically treat” or“prevent” a disorder, for example, in a subject at increased risk of developing the disorder.

As used herein, the terms“variant” and“derivative” are used interchangeably and refer to naturally-occurring, synthetic, and semi-synthetic analogues of a compound, peptide, protein, or other substance described herein. A variant or derivative of a compound, peptide, protein, or other substance described herein may retain or improve upon the biological activity of the original material.

The details of one or more embodiments of the invention are set forth in the description below. Other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description and from the claims.

Other embodiments, as well as exemplary methods for the synthesis of production of these compounds, are described herein. Pharmaceutical Uses

The compounds described herein are useful in the methods of the invention and, while not bound by theory, are believed to exert their ability to modulate the level, status, and/or activity of a BAF complex, i.e., by inhibiting the activity of the BRG1 and/or BRM proteins within the BAF complex in a mammal. BAF complex-related disorders include, but are not limited to, BRG1 loss of function mutation-related disorders.

An aspect of the present invention relates to methods of treating disorders related to BRG1 loss of function mutations such as cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, cancer of unknown primary, glioma, breast cancer, melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, endometrial cancer, or penile cancer) in a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is administered in an amount and for a time effective to result in one or more (e.g., two or more, three or more, four or more) of: (a) reduced tumor size, (b) reduced rate of tumor growth, (c) increased tumor cell death (d) reduced tumor progression, (e) reduced number of metastases, (f) reduced rate of metastasis, (g) decreased tumor recurrence (h) increased survival of subject, (i) increased progression free survival of subject.

Treating cancer can result in a reduction in size or volume of a tumor. For example, after treatment, tumor size is reduced by 5% or greater (e.g., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or greater) relative to its size prior to treatment. Size of a tumor may be measured by any reproducible means of measurement. For example, the size of a tumor may be measured as a diameter of the tumor.

Treating cancer may further result in a decrease in number of tumors. For example, after treatment, tumor number is reduced by 5% or greater (e.g., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or greater) relative to number prior to treatment. Number of tumors may be measured by any reproducible means of measurement, e.g., the number of tumors may be measured by counting tumors visible to the naked eye or at a specified magnification (e.g., 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x, or 50x).

Treating cancer can result in a decrease in number of metastatic nodules in other tissues or organs distant from the primary tumor site. For example, after treatment, the number of metastatic nodules is reduced by 5% or greater (e.g., 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or greater) relative to number prior to treatment. The number of metastatic nodules may be measured by any reproducible means of measurement. For example, the number of metastatic nodules may be measured by counting metastatic nodules visible to the naked eye or at a specified magnification (e.g., 2x, 10x, or 50x).

Treating cancer can result in an increase in average survival time of a population of subjects treated according to the present invention in comparison to a population of untreated subjects. For example, the average survival time is increased by more than 30 days (more than 60 days, 90 days, or 120 days). An increase in average survival time of a population may be measured by any reproducible means. An increase in average survival time of a population may be measured, for example, by calculating for a population the average length of survival following initiation of treatment with the compound of the invention. An increase in average survival time of a population may also be measured, for example, by calculating for a population the average length of survival following completion of a first round of treatment with a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the invention.

Treating cancer can also result in a decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated subjects in comparison to an untreated population. For example, the mortality rate is decreased by more than 2% (e.g., more than 5%, 10%, or 25%). A decrease in the mortality rate of a population of treated subjects may be measured by any reproducible means, for example, by calculating for a population the average number of disease-related deaths per unit time following initiation of treatment with a

pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the invention. A decrease in the mortality rate of a population may also be measured, for example, by calculating for a population the average number of disease-related deaths per unit time following completion of a first round of treatment with a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the invention.

Exemplary cancers that may be treated by the invention include, but are not limited to, non-small cell lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, glioma, breast cancer, melanoma, non-melanoma skin cancer, endometrial cancer, esophagogastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, ovarian cancer, head and neck cancer, renal cell carcinoma, bone cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, prostate cancer, embryonal tumor, germ cell tumor, cervical cancer, thyroid cancer, salivary gland cancer, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumor, uterine sarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, CNS cancer, thymic tumor, Adrenocortical carcinoma, appendiceal cancer, small bowel cancer and penile cancer. Combination Formulations and Uses Thereof

The compounds of the invention can be combined with one or more therapeutic agents. In particular, the therapeutic agent can be one that treats or prophylactically treats any cancer described herein. Combination Therapies

A compound of the invention can be used alone or in combination with an additional therapeutic agent, e.g., other agents that treat cancer or symptoms associated therewith, or in combination with other types of treatment to treat cancer. In combination treatments, the dosages of one or more of the therapeutic compounds may be reduced from standard dosages when administered alone. For example, doses may be determined empirically from drug combinations and permutations or may be deduced by isobolographic analysis (e.g., Black et al., Neurology 65:S3-S6, 2005). In this case, dosages of the compounds when combined should provide a therapeutic effect.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The compounds of the invention are preferably formulated into pharmaceutical compositions for administration to a mammal, preferably, a human, in a biologically compatible form suitable for administration in vivo. Accordingly, in an aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention in admixture with a suitable diluent, carrier, or excipient.

The compounds of the invention may be used in the form of the free base, in the form of salts, solvates, and as prodrugs. All forms are within the scope of the invention. In accordance with the methods of the invention, the described compounds or salts, solvates, or prodrugs thereof may be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The compounds of the invention may be administered, for example, by oral, parenteral, buccal, sublingual, nasal, rectal, patch, pump, or transdermal administration and the pharmaceutical compositions formulated accordingly. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, transepithelial, nasal, intrapulmonary, intrathecal, rectal, and topical modes of administration. Parenteral administration may be by continuous infusion over a selected period of time.

A compound of the invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or it may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. For oral therapeutic administration, a compound of the invention may be incorporated with an excipient and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, and wafers. A compound of the invention may also be administered parenterally. Solutions of a compound of the invention can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant, such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, DMSO, and mixtures thereof with or without alcohol, and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Conventional procedures and ingredients for the selection and preparation of suitable formulations are described, for example, in Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences (2003, 20th ed.) and in The United States Pharmacopeia: The National Formulary (USP 24 NF19), published in 1999. The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that may be easily administered via syringe. Compositions for nasal administration may conveniently be formulated as aerosols, drops, gels, and powders. Aerosol formulations typically include a solution or fine suspension of the active substance in a physiologically acceptable aqueous or non- aqueous solvent and are usually presented in single or multidose quantities in sterile form in a sealed container, which can take the form of a cartridge or refill for use with an atomizing device. Alternatively, the sealed container may be a unitary dispensing device, such as a single dose nasal inhaler or an aerosol dispenser fitted with a metering valve which is intended for disposal after use. Where the dosage form comprises an aerosol dispenser, it will contain a propellant, which can be a compressed gas, such as compressed air or an organic propellant, such as fluorochlorohydrocarbon. The aerosol dosage forms can also take the form of a pump-atomizer. Compositions suitable for buccal or sublingual administration include tablets, lozenges, and pastilles, where the active ingredient is formulated with a carrier, such as sugar, acacia, tragacanth, gelatin, and glycerine. Compositions for rectal administration are conveniently in the form of suppositories containing a conventional suppository base, such as cocoa butter. A compound described herein may be administered intratumorally, for example, as an intratumoral injection. Intratumoral injection is injection directly into the tumor vasculature and is specifically contemplated for discrete, solid, accessible tumors. Local, regional, or systemic administration also may be appropriate. A compound described herein may advantageously be contacted by administering an injection or multiple injections to the tumor, spaced for example, at approximately, 1 cm intervals. In the case of surgical intervention, the present invention may be used preoperatively, such as to render an inoperable tumor subject to resection. Continuous administration also may be applied where appropriate, for example, by implanting a catheter into a tumor or into tumor vasculature.

The compounds of the invention may be administered to an animal, e.g., a human, alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, as noted herein, the proportion of which is determined by the solubility and chemical nature of the compound, chosen route of administration, and standard pharmaceutical practice. Dosages

The dosage of the compounds of the invention, and/or compositions comprising a compound of the invention, can vary depending on many factors, such as the pharmacodynamic properties of the compound; the mode of administration; the age, health, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the frequency of the treatment, and the type of concurrent treatment, if any; and the clearance rate of the compound in the animal to be treated. One of skill in the art can determine the appropriate dosage based on the above factors. The compounds of the invention may be administered initially in a suitable dosage that may be adjusted as required, depending on the clinical response. In general, satisfactory results may be obtained when the compounds of the invention are administered to a human at a daily dosage of, for example, between 0.05 mg and 3000 mg (measured as the solid form). Dose ranges include, for example, between 10-1000 mg (e.g., 50-800 mg). In some embodiments, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950, or 1000 mg of the compound is administered.

Alternatively, the dosage amount can be calculated using the body weight of the patient. For example, the dose of a compound, or pharmaceutical composition thereof, administered to a patient may range from 0.1-100 mg/kg (e.g., 0.1-50 mg/kg, 0.25-25 mg/kg). In exemplary, non-limiting embodiments, the dose may range from 0.5-5.0 mg/kg (e.g., 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, or 5.0 mg/kg) or from 5.0-20 mg/kg (e.g., 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 mg/kg).

Example 241. Assay for ATPase catalytic activity of BRM and BRG-1

The ATPase catalytic activity of BRM or BRG-1 was measured by the in vitro biochemical assay using ADP-Glo™ (Promega, V9102). The ADP-Glo™ kinase assay is performed in two steps once the reaction is complete. The first step is to deplete any unconsumed ATP in the reaction. The second step is to convert the reaction product ADP to ATP, which will be utilized by the luciferase to generate luminesce and be detected by a luminescence reader, such as Envision.

The assay reaction mixture (10 mL) contains 30 nM of BRM or BRG-1, 20 nM salmon sperm DNA (from Invitrogen, UltraPure™ Salmon Sperm DNA Solution, cat# 15632011), and 400 mM of ATP in the ATPase assay buffer, which comprises of 20 mM Tris, pH 8, 20 mM MgCl ₂ , 50 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween- 20, and 1 mM fresh DTT (Pierce™ DTT (Dithiothreitol), cat# 20290). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the 2.5 mL ATPase solution to 2.5 mL ATP/DNA solution on low volume white Proxiplate-384 plus plate (PerkinElmer,cat # 6008280) and incubates at room temperature for 1 hour. Then following addition of 5 mL of ADP-Glo™ Reagent provided in the kit, the reaction incubates at room temperature for 40 minutes. Then 10 mL of Kinase Detection Reagent provided in the kit is added to convert ADP to ATP, and the reaction incubates at room temperature for 60 minutes. Finally, luminescence measurement is collected with a plate-reading luminometer, such as Envision.

Procedure: Uveal melanoma cell lines (92-1, MP41, MP38, MP46), prostate cancer cell lines (LNCAP), lung cancer cell lines (NCI-H1299), and immortalized embryonic kidney lines (HEK293T) were plated into 96 well plates with growth media (see Table 47). BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitor, Compound A, was dissolved in DMSO and added to the cells in a concentration gradient from 0 to 10 micromolar at the time of plating. Cells were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 3 days. After three days of treatment, the media was removed from the cells, and 30 microliters of TrypLE (Gibco) was added to cells for 10 minutes.

Results: As shown in FIG.3, the uveal melanoma, hematologic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and Ewing’s sarcoma cell lines were more sensitive to BRG1/BRM inhibition than the other tested cell lines. Inhibition of the uveal melanoma, hematologic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, and Ewing’s sarcoma cell lines was maintained through day 7. Example 246. Effects of BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibition on the growth of cancer cell lines.

Procedure: A pooled cell viability assay was performed using PRISM (Profiling Relative Inhibition Simultaneously in Mixtures) as previously described (“High-throughput identification of genotype-specific cancer vulnerabilities in mixtures of barcoded tumor cell lines”, Yu et al, Nature Biotechnology 34, 419-423, 2016), with the following modifications. Cell lines were obtained from the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) collection and adapted to RPMI-1640 medium without phenol red, supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), in order to apply a unique infection and pooling protocol to such a big compendium of cell lines. A lentiviral spin-infection protocol was executed to introduce a 24 nucleotide-barcode in each cell line, with an estimated multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 1 for all cell lines, using blasticidin as selection marker. Over 750 PRISM cancer cell lines stably barcoded were then pooled together according to doubling time in pools of 25. For the screen execution, instead of plating a pool of 25 cell lines in each well as previously described (Yu et al.), all the adherent or all the suspension cell line pools were plated together using T25 flasks (100,000 cells/flask) or 6-well plates (50,000 cells/well), respectively. Cells were treated with either DMSO or compound in a 8-point 3- fold dose response in triplicate, starting from a top concentration of 10 µM. As control for assay robustness, cells were treated in parallel with two previously validated compounds, the pan-Raf inhibitor AZ-628, and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, using a top concentration of 2.5 µM and 0.039 µM, respectively.

Following 3 days of treatment with compounds, cells were lysed, genomic DNA was extracted, barcodes were amplified by PCR and detected with Next-Generation Sequencing. Cell viability was determined by comparing the counts of cell-line specific barcodes in treated samples to those in the DMSO-control and Day 0 control. Dose-response curves were fit for each cell line and corresponding area under the curves (AUCs) were calculated and compared to the median AUC of all cell lines (FIG.4). Cell lines with AUCs less than the median were considered most sensitive. Example 247. Effects of BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitors on the growth of uveal melanoma cell lines.

Procedure: Uveal melanoma cell lines (92-1, MP41, MP38, MP46) and Non-small cell lung cancer cells (NCIH1299) were plated into 96 well plates with growth media (see Table 47). BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitor, compound 67, was dissolved in DMSO and added to the cells in a concentration gradient from 0 to 10 micromolar at the time of plating. Cells were incubated at 37 °C for 3 days. After three days of treatment, cell growth was measured with Cell-titer glow (Promega), and luminescence was read on an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

Results: As shown in FIG.5, compound 67 resulted in potent growth inhibition in the uveal melanoma cell lines. Example 248. Comparison of BRG1/BRM Inhibitors to clinical PKC and MEK inhibitors in uveal melanoma cell lines

Procedure: Uveal melanoma cell lines, 92-1 or MP41, were plated in 96 well plates in the presence of growth media (see Table 47). BAF ATPase inhibitor (compound 67), PKC inhibitor (LXS196; MedChemExpress), and MEK inhibitor (Selumetinib; Selleck Chemicals) were dissolved in DMSO and added to the cells in a concentration gradient from 0 to 10 micromolar at the time of plating. Cells were incubated at 37 °C for 3 days. After three days of treatment, cell growth was measured with Cell-titer glow (Promega), and luminescence was read on an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer).

Results: As shown in FIG.6A and FIG.6B, compound 67 showed more potent effects on growth inhibition of uveal melanoma cells as compared to the clinical PKC and MEK inhibitors. Further, compound 67 was found to result in a faster onset of growth inhibition than the clinical PKC and MEK inhibitors. Example 249. BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitors are effective at inhibiting the growth of PKC inhibitor- resistant cells.

Procedure: MP41 uveal melanoma cells were made resistant to the PKC inhibitor (LXS196; MedChemExpress), by long-term culture in growth media (see Table 47) containing increasing concentrations of the compound, up to 1 micromolar. After 3 months, sensitivity of the parental MP41 cells and the PKC inhibitor (PKCi)-resistant cells to the PKC inhibitor (LXS196) or the BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitor (compound 67) was tested in a 7-day growth inhibition assay as described above in Example 2.

Results: While the PKCi-resistant cells could tolerate growth at higher concentrations of LXS196 than could the parental MP41 cell line (FIG.7A), the BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitor (compound 67) still resulted in strong growth inhibition of both the PKCi-resistant and parental cell lines (FIG.7B). The PKCi- resistant cells were more sensitive to compound 67 than were the parental MP41 cells (FIG.7B). Example 250. BRG1/BRM ATPase inhibitors cause uveal melanoma tumor growth inhibition in vivo.

Procedure: Nude mice (Envigo) were engrafted subcutaneously in the axillary region with 5x10 ⁶ 92-1 uveal melanoma cells in 50 % Matrigel. Tumors were grown to a mean of ~ 200 mm ³ , at which point mice were grouped and dosing was initiated. Mice were dosed once daily by oral gavage with vehicle (20% 2-Hydroxypropyl-b-Cyclodextrin) or increasing doses of compound 320. Tumor volumes and body weights were measured over the course of 3 weeks, and doses were adjusted by body weight to achieve the proper dose in terms of mg/kg. At this time, animals were sacrificed, and tumors were dissected and imaged.

Results: Treatment with compound 320 led to tumor growth inhibition in a dose-dependent manner with tumor regression observed at the highest (50 mg/kg) dose. (FIG.8A and FIG.8B). All treatments were well tolerated with no body weight loss observed (FIG.8C). Other Embodiments
