1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives; compositions comprising an effective amount of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative; and methods for treating or preventing an inflammatory disease, a reperfusion disease, an ischemic condition, renal failure, diabetes, a diabetic complication, a vascular disease, or cancer, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative.

2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, colitis, and autoimmune diabetes, typically manifest themselves as disorders distinct from those associated with reperfusion diseases, e. g., stroke and heart attack, and can clinically manifest themselves as different entities. However, there can be common underlying mechanisms between these two types of disorders. In particular, inflammatory disease and reperfusion disease can induce proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine synthesis which can, in turn, result in production of cytotoxic free radicals such as nitric oxide and superoxide. NO and superoxide can react to form peroxynitrite (ONOO-) (Szabó et al., Shock 6: 79-88,1996).

The ONOO--induced cell necrosis observed in inflammatory disease and in reperfusion disease involves the activation of the nuclear enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) synthetase (PARS), also known as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Activation of PARP is thought to be an important step in the cell-mediated death observed in inflammation and reperfusion disease (Szabó et al., Trends Phannacol. Sci. 19: 287-98, 1998).

A number of PARP inhibitors have been described in the art. See, e. g., Banasik et al., J. Biol. Chem. , 267: 1569-75,1992, and Banasik et al., Mol. Cell.

The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are also useful for the treatment or prevention of a cancer caused by a virus. For example, human papilloma virus can lead

to cervical cancer (see, e. g., Hernandez-Avila et al., Archives of Medical Research (1997) 28: 265-271), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can lead to lymphom (see, e. g., Herrmann et al., J Pathol (2003) 199 (2): 140-5), hepatitis B or C virus can lead to liver carcinoma (see, e. g., El-Serag, J Clin Gastroenterol' (2002) 35 (5 Suppl 2): S72-8), human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV) -I can lead to T-cell leukemia (see e. g. , Mortreux et al., Leukemia (2003) 17 (1) : 26-38), human helpesvirus-8 infection can lead to Kaposi's sarcoma (see, e. g., Kadow et al., Curr Opin Investig Drugs (2002) 3 (11): 1574-9), and Human Immune deficiency Virus (HIV) infection contribute to cancer development as a consequence of immunodeficiency (see, e. g., Dal Maso et al., Lancet Oncol (2003) 4 (2): 110-9).

4.17. 1.1 Prophylactic Methods The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives of the Invention can also be administered to prevent the progression of a cancer, including but not limited to the cancers listed in Table 1. Such prophylactic use is indicated in conditions known or suspected of preceding progression to neoplasia or cancer, in particular, where non-neoplastic cell growth consisting of hyperplasia, metaplasia, or most particularly, dysplasia has occurred (for review of such abnormal growth conditions, see Robbins and Angell, 1976, Basic Pathology, 2d Ed. , W. B. Saunders Co. , Philadelphia, pp. 68-79). Hypelplasia is a form of controlled cell proliferation involving an increase in cell number in a tissue or organ, without significant alteration in structure or function. For example, endometrial hyperplasia often precedes endometrial cancer and precancerous colon polyps often transform into cancerous lesions. Metaplasia is a form of controlled cell growth in which one type of adult or fully differentiated cell substitutes for another type of adult cell.

Metaplasia can occur in epithelial or connective tissue cells. A typical metaplasia involves a somewhat disorderly metaplastic epithelium. Dysplasia is frequently a forerunner of cancer, and is found mainly in the epithelia; it is the most disorderly form of non-neoplastic cell growth, involving a loss in individual cell uniformity and in the architectural orientation of cells. Dysplastic cells often have abnormally large, deeply stained nuclei, and exhibit pleomorphism. Dysplasia characteristically occurs where there exists chronic irritation or inflammation, and is often found in the cervix, respiratory passages, oral cavity, and gall bladder.

Alternatively or in addition to the presence of abnormal cell growth characterized as hyperplasia, metaplasia, or dysplasia, the presence of one or more characteristics of a

transformed phenotype, or of a malignant phenotype, displayed in vivo or displayed in vitro by a cell sample from a patient, can indicate the desirability of prophylactic/therapeutic administration of the composition of the invention. Such characteristics of a transformed phenotype include morphology changes, looser substratum attachment, loss of contact inhibition, loss of anchorage dependence, protease release, increased sugar transport, decreased serum requirement, expression of fetal antigens, disappearance of the 250,000 dalton cell surface protein, etc. (see also id., at pp.

84-90 for characteristics associated with a transformed or malignant phenotype).

In a specific embodiment, leukoplakia, a benign-appearing hyperplastic or dysplastic lesion of the epithelium, or Bowen's disease, a carcinoma in situ, are pre- neoplastic lesions indicative of the desirability of prophylactic intervention.

In another embodiment, fibrocystic disease (cystic hyperplasia, mammary dysplasia, particularly adenosis (benign epithelial hyperplasia) ) is indicative of the desirability of prophylactic intervention.

In other embodiments, a patient which exhibits one or more of the following predisposing factors for malignancy can be treated by administration of an amount of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative which is effective to treat or prevent cancer: a chromosomal translocation associated with a malignancy (e. g., the Philadelphia chromosome for chronic myelogenous leukemia, t (14 ; 18) for follicular lymphom, etc.), familial polyposis or Gardner's syndrome (possible forerunners of colon cancer), benign monoclonal gammopathy (a possible forerunner of multiple myeloma), a first degree kinship with persons having a cancer or precancerous disease showing a Mendelian (genetic) inheritance pattern (e. g., familial polyposis of the colon, Gardner's syndrome, hereditary exostosis, polyendocrine adenomatosis, medullary thyroid carcinoma with amyloid production and pheochromocytoma, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, neurofibromatosis of Von Recklinghausen, retinoblastoma, carotid body tumor, cutaneous melanocarcinoma, intraocular melanocarcinoma, xeroderma pigmentosum, ataxia telangiectasia, Chediak-Higashi syndrome, albinism, Fanconi's aplastic anemia, and Bloom's syndrome; see Robbins and Angell, 1976, Basic Pathology, 2d Ed. , W. B.

Saunders Co. , Philadelphia, pp. 112-113) etc. ), and exposure to carcinogens (e. g., smoking, and inhalation of or contacting with certain chemicals).

In another specific embodiment, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are administered to a human patient to prevent progression to breast, colon, ovarian, or cervical cancer.

4.17. 2 Therapeutic/Prophylactic Administration and Compositions of the Invention Due to their activity, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are advantageously useful in veterinary and human medicine. As described above, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are useful for treating or preventing a Condition in a subject in need thereof.

When administered to a subject, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be administered as a component of a composition that comprises a phannaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle. The present compositions, which comprise a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative, can be administered orally. The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives of the invention can also be administered by any other convenient route, for example, by infusion or bolus injection, by absorption through epithelial or mucocutaneous linings (e. g., oral, rectal, and intestinal mucosa, etc.) and can be administered together with another biologically active agent. Administration can be systemic or local. Various deiivery systems are known, e. g., encapsulation in iipusurnes, microparticles, microcapsules, capsules, etc., and can be administered.

Methods of administration include, but are not limited to, intradennal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal, epidural, oral, sublingual, intracerebral, intravaginal, transdermal, rectal, by inhalation, or topical, particularly to the ears, nose, eyes, or skin. In some instances, administration will result in the release of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives into the bloodstream. The mode of administration is left to the discretion of the practitioner.

In one embodiment, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are administered orally.

In other embodiments, it can be desirable to administer the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives locally. This can be achieved, for example, and not by way of limitation, by local infusion during surgery, topical application, e. g., in conjunction with a wound dressing after surgery, by injection, by means of a catheter, by means of a suppository or enema, or by means of an implant, said implant being of a porous, non-porous, or gelatinous material, including membranes, such as sialastic membranes, or fibers.

In certain embodiments, it can be desirable to introduce the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives into the central nervous system or gastrointestinal tract by any suitable route, including intraventricular, intrathecal, and epidural injection, and enema.

Intraventricular injection can be facilitated by an intraventricular catheter, for example, attached to a reservoir, such as an Ommaya reservoir.

Pulmonary administration can also be employed, e. g., by use of an inhaler of nebulizer, and Formulation with an aerosolizing agent, or via perfusion in a fluorocarbon oar, synthetic pulmonary surfactant. In certain embodiments, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be Fonnulated as a suppository, with traditional binders and excipients such as triglycerides.

In another embodiment the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be delivered in a vesicle, in particular a liposome (see Langer, Science 249: 1527-1533 (1990) and Treat or prevent et al., Liposoo2es in the Therapy oflnfectious Disease and Cancer 317-327 and 353-365 (1989)).

In yet another embodiment the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be delivered in a controlled-release system or sustained-release system (see, e. g., Goodson, in Medical Applications of Controlled Release, supra, vol. 2, pp. 115-138 (1984)). Other controlled or sustained-release systems discussed in the review by Langer, Science 249: 1527-1533 (1990) can be used. In one embodiment a pump can be used (Langer, Science 249: 1527-1533 (1990) ; Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14: 201 (1987); Buchwald et al., SzctgeYV 88: 507 (1980); and Saudek et al., N. Engl. JMed. 321 : 574 (1989) ). In another embodiment polymeric materials can be used (see Medical Applications of Controlled Release (Langer and Wise eds. , 1974); Controlled Drug Bioavailability, Drug Product Design and Performance (Smolen and Ball eds., 1984) ; Ranger and Peppas, J. Macromol. Sci. Rev. Macromol. Chem. 2 : 61 (1983); Levy et al., Science 228: 190 (1935); During et al., A7ln. Neurals 25: 351 (1989); and Howard et al., J.

Netlrosu, g 71: 105 (1989)).

In yet another embodiment. a controlled-or sustained-release system can be placed in proximity of a target of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives, e. g., the spinal column, brain, skin, lung, or gastrointestinal tract, thus requiring only a fraction of the systemic dose.

The present compositions can optionally comprise a suitable amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient so as to provide the form for proper administration to the animal.

Such pharmaceutical excipients can be liquids, such as water and oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil and the like. The pharmaceutical excipients can be saline, gum

acacia; gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea and the like. In addition, auxiliary, stabilizing, thickening, lubricating, and coloring agents can be used. In one embodiment the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are sterile when administered to a subject. Water is a particularly useful excipient when the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative is administered intravenously. Saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions can also be employed as liquid excipients, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical excipients also include starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, dried skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water, ethanol and the like. The present compositions, if desired, can also contain minor amounts of wetting or emulsifying agents, or pH buffering agents.

The present compositions can take the form of solutions, suspensions, emulsion, tablets, pills; pellets, capsules, capsules containing liquids, powders, sustained-release Formulations, suppositories, emulsions. aerosols, sprays, suspensions, or any other form suitable for use. In one embodiment the composition is in the form of a capsule (see e. g.

U. S. Patent No. 5,698, 155). Other examples of suitable pharmaceutical excipients are described in Re77ii7igton's Pliarinaceittical Sciences 1447-1676 (Alfonso R. Gennaro eds., 19th ed. 1995), incorporated herein by reference.

In one embodiment the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are Formulated in accordance with routine procedures as a composition adapted for oral administration to human beings. Compositions for oral delivery can be in the form of tablets, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, granules, powders, emulsions, capsules, syrups, or elixirs for example. Orally administered compositions can contain one or more agents, for example, sweetening agents such as fructose, aspartam or saccharin; flavoring agents such as peppennint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry; coloring agents; and preserving agents, to provide a pharmaceutically palatable preparation. Moreover, where in tablet or pill form, the compositions can be coated to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract thereby providing a sustained action over an extended period of time. Selectively permeable membranes surrounding an osmotically active driving a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivativere also suitable for orally administered compositions.

In these latter platforms, fluid from the environment surrounding the capsule is imbibed by the driving compound, which swells to displace the agent or agent composition through an aperture. These delivery platforms can provide an essentially zero order delivery profile as opposed to the spiked profiles of immediate release Formulations. A

time-delay material such as glycerol monostearate or glycerol stearate can also be used.

Oral compositions can include standard excipients such as mannitol, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharin, cellulose, and magnesium carbonate. In one embodiment the excipients are of pharmaceutical grade.

In another embodiment the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be Formulated for intravenous administration. Typically, compositions for intravenous administration comprise sterile isotonic aqueous buffer. Where necessary, the compositions can also include a solubilizing agent. Compositions for intravenous administration can optionally include a local anesthetic such as lignocaien to lessen pain at the site of the injection.

Generally, the ingredients are supplied either separately or mixed together in unit dosage form, for example, as a dry lyophilized-powder or water free concentrate in a hermetically sealed container such as an ampule or sachette indicating the quantity of active agent. Where the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are to be administered by infusion, they can be dispensed, for example with an infusion bottle containing sterile pharmaceutical grade water or saline. Where the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are administered by injection, an ampule of sterile water for injection or saline can be provided so that the ingredients can be mixed prior to administration.

The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be administered by controlled-release or sustained-release means or by delivery devices that are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include, but arc not limited to, those described in U. S.. Patent Nos. 3,845, 770; 3,916, 899; 3,536, 809; 3,598, 123; 4,008, 719; 5,674, 533; 5,059, 595; 5,591, 767; 5,120, 548; 5,073, 543; 5,639, 476; 5,354 ; 556; and 5,733, 556, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Such dosage forms can be used to provide controlled- or sustained-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydropropylmethyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions.

Suitable controlled-or sustained-release Formulations known to those skilled in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients of the invention. The invention thus encompasses single unit dosage forms suitable for oral administration such as, but not limited to, tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets that are adapted for controlled-or sustained-release.

Controlled-or sustained-release pharmaceutical compositions can have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled or

non-sustained counterparts. In one embodiment a controlled-or sustained-release composition comprises a minimal amount of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-or sustained-release compositions include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled-or sustained-release compositions can favorably affect the time of onset of action or other characteristics, such as blood levels of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative, and can thus reduce the occurrence of adverse side effects.

Controlled-or sustained-release compositions can initially release an amount of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative that promptly produces the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect, and gradually and continually release other amounts of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. To maintain a constant level of the Tetracyclic <BR> <BR> Benzamide Derivative in the body, the Tetracy'1ic Benzaimide Derivative can be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-or sustained-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions, including but not limited to, changes in pH, changes in temperature, concentration or availability of enzymes, concentration or availability of water, or other physiological conditions or compounds.

The amount of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative that is effective in the treatment or prevention of a Condition can be detennined by standard clinical techniques.

In addition, in vitro or in vivo assays can optionally be employed to help identify optimal dosage ranges. The precise dose to be employed will also depend on the route of administration, and the seriousness of the condition being treated and should be decided according to the judgment of the practitioner and each patient's circumstances in view of, e. g., published clinical studies. Effective dosage amounts of the present invention, when used for the indicated effects, range from about 0.05 to about 1000 mg of Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative per day. Compositions for in vivo or in vitro use can contain about 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0, 100.0, 250.0, 500.0 or 1000.0 mg of Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative. In one embodiment, the compositions are in the form of a tablet that can be scored. Effective plasma levels of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can range from about 0.002 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight per day.

Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage can be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. Furthermore, Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in that art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration can be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Other illustrative topical preparations include creams, ointments, lotions, aerosol sprays and gels, wherein the concentration of Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative ranges from about 0. 1 % to about 15%, w/w or w/v.

The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be assayed in vitro or in vivo for the desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity prior to use in humans. Animal model systems can be used to demonstrate safety and efficacy.

The present, methods. for treating or preventing a Condition in a subject in need thereof can further comprise administering another therapeutic agent to the subject being administered a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative. In one embodiment the other therapeutic agent is administered in an effective amount.

Effective amounts of the other therapeutic agents are well known to those skilled in the art. However, it is well within the skilled artisan's purview to detennine the other therapeutic agent's optimal effective amount range. In one embodiment of the invention, where, another therapeutic agent is administered to a subject, the effective amount of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative is less than its effective amount would be where the other therapeutic agent is not administered. In this case, without being bound by theory, it is believed that the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives and the other therapeutic agent act synergistically to treat or prevent a Condition.

In one embodiment the other therapeutice agent is an anti-inflammatory agent.

Anti-inflammatory agents include but are not limited to adrenocorticosteroids, such as cortisol, cortisone, fludrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone, 6a-methylprednisolone, triamcinolone, betamethasone, and dexamethasone; and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, acetaminophen, indomethacin, sulindac, tolmetin, diclofenac, ketorolac, ibuprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, fenoprofen, oxaprozin, mefenamic acid, meclofenamic acid, piroxicam, meloxicam, nabumetone, rofecoxib, celecoxib, etodolac, and nimesulide.

In one embodiment the other therapeutice agent is an anti-renal failure agent.

Anti-renal failure agents include but are not limited to ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, such as captopril, enalaprilat, lisinopril, benazepril, fosinopril, trandolapril, quinapril, and ramipril; diuretics, such as mannitol, glycerin, furosemide, toresemide, tripamide, chlorothiazide, methyclothiazide, indapamide, amiloride, and spironolactone; and fibric acid agents, such as clofibrate, gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, ciprofibrate, and bezafibrate.

In one embodiment the other therapeutice agent is an anti-diabetic agent. Anti- diabetic agents include but are not limited to glucagons; somatostatin; diazoxide; sulfonylureas, such as tolbutamide, acetohexamide, tolazamide, chloropropamide, glybenclamide, glipizide, gliclazide, and glimepiride; insulin secretagogues, such as repaglinide, and nateglinide; biguanides, such as metfonnin and phenfonnin ; thiazolidinediones, such as pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, and troglitazone; and a- glucosidase inhibitors, such as acarbose and miglitol.

In one embodiment the other therapeutic agent is an anti-cardiovascular disease agent. Anti-cardiovascular disease agents include but are not limited to carnitine; thiamine; and muscarinic receptor antagonists, such as atropine, scopolamine, homatropine, tropicamide, pirenzipine, ipratropium, tiotropium, and tolterodine.

The other therapeutic agent can also be an agent useful for reducing any potential side effects of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives. For example, the other therapeutic agent can be an antiemetic agent. Examples of useful antiemetic agents include, but are not limited to, metoclopromide, domperidone, prochlorperazine, promethazine, chlorpromazine, trimethobenzamide, ondansetron, granisetron, hydroxyzine, acetylleucine monoethanolamine, alizapride, azasetron, benzquinamide, bietanautine, bromopride, buclizine, clebopride, cyclizine, dimenhydrinate, diphenidol, dolasetron, meclizine, methallatal, metopimazine, nabilone, oxyperndyl, pipamazine, scopolamine, sulpiride, tetrahydrocannabinol, thiethylperazine, thioproperazine, tropisetron, and mixtures thereof.

The present methods for the treatment or prevention of cancer can further comprise administering another anticancer agent. In one embodiment, the methods comprise the sequential administration of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and another anticancer agent. In another embodiment, the methods comprise the administration of a composition comprising a phannaceutically acceptable carrier, a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative, and another anticancer agent.

The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and the other anticancer agent can act additively or synergistically. A synergistic use of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and another anticancer agent permits the use of lower dosages of one or more of these agents and/or less frequent administration of said agents to a subject with cancer. The ability to utilize lower dosages of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and/or additional anticancer agents and/or to administer said agents less frequently can reduce the toxicity associated with the administration of said agents to a subject without reducing the efficacy of said agents in the treatment of cancer. In addition, a synergistic effect can result in the improved efficacy of these agents in the treatment of cancer and/or the reduction of adverse or unwanted side effects associated with the use of either agent alone.

In one embodiment, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and the anticancer agent can act synergistically when administered in doses typically employed when such agents are used as monotherapy for the treatment of cancer. In another embodiment, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative and the anticancer agent can act synergistically when administered in doses that are less than doses typically employed when such agents are used as monotherapy for the treatment of cancer.

4.17. 1. 3 Multi-Modality Therapy For Cancer The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can be administered to a subject that has undergone or is currently undergoing one or more additional anticancer treatment modalities including, but not limited to, surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, such as cancer vaccines.

In one embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating cancer comprising (a) administering to a subject in need thereof an amount of a Telracyclic Benzamide Derivative effective to treat or prevent cancer; and (b) administering to said subject one or more additional anticancer treatment modalities including, but not limited to, surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, such as a cancer vaccine.

In one embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is radiation therapy.

In another embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is surgery.

In still another embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is immunotherapy.

In a specific embodiment, the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives are administered concurrently with radiation therapy. In another specific embodiment, the additional anticancer treatment modality is administered prior or subsequent to the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative, preferably at least an hour, five hours, 12 hours, a day, a week, a month, more preferably several months (e. g. , up to three months), prior or subsequent to administration of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives.

When the additional anticancer treatment modality is radiation therapy, any radiation therapy protocol can be used depending upon the type of cancer to be treated. For example, but not by way of limitation, X-ray radiation can be administered; in particular, high-energy megavoltage (radiation of greater that 1 MeV energy) can be used for deep tumors, and electron beam and orthovoltage X-ray radiation can be used for skin cancers. Gamma-ray emitting radioisotopes, such as radioactive isotopes of radium, cobalt and other elements, can also be administered.

. Additionally, the invention provides methods of treatment ofcanceusjng the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives as an alternative to chemotherapy or radiation therapy where the chemotherapy or the radiation therapy results in negative side effects, in the subject being treated. The subject being treated can, optionally, be treated with another anticancer treatment modality such as surgery, radiation therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on which treatment is found to be acceptable or bearable.

The Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives can also be used in an in vitro or ex vivo fashion, such as for the treatment of certain cancers, including, but not limited to leukemias and lymphomas, such treatment involving autologous stem cell transplants.

This can involve a multi-step process in which the animal's autologous hematopoietic stem cells are harvested and purged of all cancer cells, the patient's remaining bone- marrow cell population is then eradicated via the administration of high doses of the Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives and/or high dose radiation therapy, and the stem cell graft is infused back into the animal. Supportive care is then provided while bone marrow function is restored and the subject recovers.

5.1. 3 Example 2. Effect of Illustrative Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives on PARP activity in cultured macrophages, using a whole-cell based assay and a purified enzyme assay.

Demonstration of illustrative Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives'ability to inhibit PARP and prevent peroxynitrite induced cytotoxicity was shown using methods described in Virag et al., Br. J. Pharmacol., 1999,126 (3): 769-77; and Ioazrnzaszology 1998, 94 (3): 345-55. RAW mouse macrophages were cultured in DMEM medium with high glucose and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cells were used at 80% confluence in 12-well plates. Cells were pretreated with various concentrations (100 nM - 1 µM) of a Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivative for 10 min. Peroxynitrite, a prototypical oxidant which induces DNA single strand breakage, was used to induce PARP activation.

Peroxynitrite was diluted in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (pH 11. 0) and added to the cells in a bolus of 50 p1. Cells were then incubated for 20 min. Peroxynitrite was decomposed by incubation for 30 min at pH 7.0, used as a control, and failed to influence the parameter studied. After the 20 min incubation, the cells were spun, the medium was aspirated and the cells were resuspended in 0.5 mL assay buffer (56 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 28 mM KC1, 28 mM NaCI, 2 mM MgCl2, 0. 01% w/v digitonin and 0. 125 LM NAD+ and 0.5 pCi/ml 3H-NAD+). Following an incubation in assay buffer, (10 min at 37°C), PARP activity was measured as follows: 200 je. l ice cold 50% w/v TCA was added and the samples were incubated for 4 h at 4°C. Samples were then spun (10 min @ 10,000 g) and pellets washed twice with ice cold 5% w/v TCA and solubilized overnight in 250 jj, l 2% w/v SDS/0.1 N NaOH at 37°C. The contents of the tubes were added to 6.5 mL

ScintiSafe Plus scintillation liquid (Fisher Scientific) and radioactivity was determined using a liquid scintillation counter (Wallac, Gaithersburg, MD). The results shown in Table 3 demonstrate that the illustrative Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives significantly and dose-dependently inhibit the activation of PARP in the macrophage assay.

Table 3. Inhibitory effect of various novel substituted Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives on PARP activation in cultured murine macrophages. % PARP inhibition % PARP inhibition % PARP inhibition Compound No. at 1 FM at 300 nM at 100 nM 9a 70 56 NT 11 70 9 NT 16a 56 64 47 29 26 25 16c 68 47 39 16d NT 38 3 16e 57 56 33 16f 56 59 40 16g 67 66 40 16h NT 56 32 26a 61 54 36 NT-Not Tested The potency of inhibition on purified PARP enzyme was subsequently detennined for selected Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives, and the potency was compared with that of 3-aminobenzamide, a prototypical benchmark PARP inhibitor. The assay was perfonned in 96 well ELISA plates according to instructions provided with a commercially available PARP inhibition assay kit (Trevigen, Gaithersburg, MD).

Briefly, wells were coated with 1 mg/mL histone (50 pl/well) at 4°C overnight. Plates were then washed four times with PBS and then blocked by adding 50 u, l Strep-Diluent (supplied with the kit). After incubation (1 h, room temperature), the plates were washed four times with PBS. Appropriate dilutions of PARP inhibitors were combined with 2x

PARP cocktail (1.95 mM NAD+, 50 LM biotiliylated NAD+ in 50 mM TRIS pH 8.0, 25 mM MgCl2) and high specific activity PARP enzyme (both were supplied with the kit) in a volume of 50 jj, l. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 min at room temperature.

After 4 washes in PBS, incorporated biotin was detected by peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin (1: 500 dilution) and TACS Sapphire substrate. The assay confirmed the results of the macrophage-based PARP assay. For example, the PARP inhibitor 16a exerted 56% inhibition of PARP activity in this assay at 1 I1M, and thus was approximately 56,000 times more potent than the reference compound 3-aminobenzamide at this concentration. These results indicate that compounds 9a, 11,16a-16h and 26a, illustrative Tetracyclic Benzamide Derivatives, are useful for treating or preventing a Condition.
