English Abstract


The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility
to degrade (and inhibit) Androgen Receptor.
In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain
on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase
and on the other end a moiety which binds Androgen Receptor such that Androgen
Receptor is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase
to effect degradation (and inhibition) of Androgen Receptor. The present
invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities
associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with
the degradation/inhibition of Androgen Receptor.

COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR THE TARGETED DEGRADATION OF
ANDROGEN RECEPTOR
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
1001] The present disclosure is an International Patent Application
claiming priority to
U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 15/663,273, which is a Continuation-In-Part
of U.S.
Nonprovisional Application Serial No. 15/002,303, filed 20 January 2016, which
claims the
benefit of, and priority to, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No.
62/105,210, filed 20
January 2015 and entitled: Compounds and Methods for the Targeted Degradation
of the
Androgen Receptor, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their
entireties.
BACKGROUND
10021 1. Field of the Discovery. The present description relates to
bifunctional
compounds, which are useful for the modifying the ubiquitination and
subsequent degradation of
target polypeptides and proteins, in particular, androgen receptor. In certain
aspects, the
compounds comprise a Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) binding moiety, which binds to
the VHL E3
ubiquitin ligase, a target protein binding moiety, which binds to the target
protein (e.g., androgen
receptor), and optionally a linker moiety which links the VHL binding moiety
and target protein
binding moiety.These compounds work in such way that the target
protein/polypeptide is placed
in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of
that protein (e.g.,
androgen receptor).
1003] 2. Background Information. Androgen Receptor (AR) belongs to a
nuclear
hormone receptor family that is activated by androgens, such as testosterone
and
dihydrotestosterone (Phctrmacol. Rev. 2006, 58(4), 782-97; Dim. Horm. 1999,
55:309-52.). In
the absence of androgens, AR is bound by Heat Shock Protein 90 (Hsp90) in the
cytosol. When
an androgen binds AR, its conformation changes to release AR from Hsp90 and to
expose the
Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS). The latter enables AR to translocate into
the nucleus where
AR acts as a transcription factor to promote gene expression responsible for
male sexual
characteristics (Endoc.r. Rev. 1987, 8(1):1-28; Mo/. Endocrinol. 2002, 16(10),
2181-7). AR
deficiency leads to Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, formerly termed
testicular feminization.
1

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
10041 While AR is responsible for development of male sexual
characteristics, it is also
a well-documented oncogene in certain forms cancers including prostate cancers
(Enclocr. Rev.
2004, 25(2), 276-308). A commonly measured target gene of AR activity is the
secreted Prostate
Specific Antigen (PSA) protein. The current treatment regimen for prostate
cancer involves
inhibiting the androgen-AR axis by two methods. The first approach relies on
reduction of
androgens, while the second strategy aims to inhibit AR function (Nat. Rev.
Drug Discovery,
2013, 12,823-824). Despite the development of effective targeted therapies,
most patients
develop resistance and the disease progresses. An alternative approach for the
treatment of
prostate cancer involves eliminating the AR protein. Because AR is a critical
driver of
tumorigenesis in many forms of prostate cancers, its elimination should lead
to therapeutically
benefical response.
[005] There exists an ongoing need in the art for effective treatments
for diseases and
conditions that are related to aberrant AR regulation or activity, such as,
for example, cancer,
prostate cancer, and Kennedy's Disease.
SUMMARY
1006] The present disclosure describes compounds, including compositions
comprising
the same, which function to recruit endogenous proteins to an E3 ubiquitin
ligase, e.g., Von
Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase, for ubiquitination and subsequent
degradation, and
methods of using the same. In particular, the present disclosure provides
bifunctional or
proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds, which find utility as
modulators of
targeted ubiquitination and degradation of androgen receptor (AR). In
addition, the description
provides methods of using an effective amount of the compounds as described
herein for the
treatment or amelioration of a disease condition including cancer, e.g.,
prostate cancer, and
Kennedy's Disease.
[007] Thus, in one aspect, the disclosure provides compounds which function
to recruit
endogenous proteins, e.g., AR proteins, to E3 Ubiquitin Ligase for
ubiquintination and
degradation. In certain embodiments, the compounds have the following general
structure:
[008] ABM ¨ L-ULM
[009] wherein ABM is an AR binding moiety, ULM is an E3 ligase binding
moiety,
e.g., a VHL E3 ligase binding moiety (VLM), and L is a bond or a linker moiety
which links the
2

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
ABM and ULM. As such, in certain embodiments, the description provides
compounds having
the following general structure:
[010] ABM ¨ L-VLM (II),
[011] wherein ABM is an AR binding moiety, VLM is a VHL E3 ligase binding
moiety
and L is a bond or a linker moiety which links the ABM and VLM. In certain
embodiments, the
VLM comprises a hydroxyl prolyl moiety.
[012] In certain embodiments, the ULM is a moiety specific for an E3
ubiquitin ligase
such as, e.g., cereblon, mouse double minute 2 homolog (Mdm2), or inhibitor of
apoptosis (IAP),
wherein the ULM moiety is coupled to an ABM as described herein.
[013] It will be understood that the general structures are exemplary and
the respective
moieties can be arranged spatially in any desired order or configuration,
e.g., ULM-L-ABM, and
VLM-L-ABM respectively.
[014] In another aspect, the description provides AR binding moieties
(ABM). In an
additional embodiment, the description provides compounds having the following
general
structure: ABM-L, wherein ABM is an AR binding moiety as described herein, and
L is a
chemical linker moiety, or optionally a bond. In certain embodiments, the ABM
and/or L are
coupled to a ULM as described herein.
[015] In any of the aspects or embodiments described herein, the ABM is

coupling or tethering
the ABM to the VLM (as described herein, L can be absent or a bond or a
chemical linker

herein. Briefly,
the VLM recognizes and binds to Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase,
and the ABM
binds and recruits androgen receptor and brings it into close proximity to the
Von Hippel-Lindau
(VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase. Typically, the E3 ubiquitin ligase is complexed
with an E2 ubiquitin-
conjugating protein, and either alone or via the E2 protein catalyzes
attachment of ubiquitin
(dark circles) to a lysine on the target protein via an isopeptide bond. The
poly-ubiquitinated
protein (far right) is then targeted for degration by the proteosomal
machinery of the cell.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
1039] The following is a detailed description provided to aid those
skilled in the art in
practicing the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art may make
modifications and
variations in the embodiments described herein without departing from the
spirit or scope of the
present disclosure. All publications, patent applications, patents, figures
and other references
mentioned herein are expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety.
10401 The present description relates to the surprising and unexpected
discovery that an
E3 ubiquitin ligase protein can ubiquitinate a target protein, in particular
androgen receptor, once
the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein and the target protein are brought into
proximity by a chimeric
construct (e.g., PROTAC) as described herein, in which a moiety that binds the
E3 ubiquitin
ligase protein is coupled, e.g., covalently, to a moiety that bind the
androgen receptortarget
protein. Accordingly, the present description provides compounds, compositions
comprising the
same, and associated methods of use for ubiquitination and degradation of a
chosen target
protein, e.g.. androgen receptor (See Figure lA and Figure 1B).
[041] The present description is related in certain aspects to U.S.
Patent Publication
2014/0356322A1, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for
all purposes.
1042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used
herein have the
same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to
which this invention
12

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
belongs. The terminology used in the description is for describing particular
embodiments only
and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[043] Where a range of values is provided, it is understood that each
intervening value,
to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit unless the context clearly
dictates otherwise (such as in
the case of a group containing a number of carbon atoms in which case each
carbon atom
number falling within the range is provided), between the upper and lower
limit of that range and
any other stated or intervening value in that stated range is encompassed
within the invention.
The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may independently be
included in the smaller
ranges is also encompassed within the invention, subject to any specifically
excluded limit in the
stated range. Where the stated range includes one or both of the limits,
ranges excluding either
both of those included limits are also included in the invention.
[044] The following terms are used to describe the present invention. In
instances where
a term is not specifically defined herein, that term is given an art-
recognized meaning by those of
ordinary skill applying that term in context to its use in describing the
present invention.
[045] The articles "a" and "an" as used herein and in the appended claims
are used
herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the
grammatical object of the
article unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By way of example, "an
element" means
one element or more than one element.
1046] The phrase "and/or," as used herein in the specification and in
the claims, should
be understood to mean "either or both" of the elements so conjoined, i.e..
elements that are
conjunctively present in some cases and disjunctively present in other cases.
Multiple elements
listed with "and/or" should be construed in the same fashion, i.e., "one or
more" of the elements
so conjoined. Other elements may optionally be present other than the elements
specifically
identified by the "and/or" clause, whether related or unrelated to those
elements specifically
identified. Thus, as a non-limiting example, a reference to "A and/or B", when
used in
conjunction with open-ended language such as "comprising" can refer, in one
embodiment, to A
only (optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to B
only (optionally
including elements other than A); in yet another embodiment, to both A and B
(optionally
including other elements); etc.
[047] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, "or" should
be understood to
have the same meaning as "and/or" as defined above. For example, when
separating items in a
13

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
list, "or" or "and/or" shall be interpreted as being inclusive, i.e., the
inclusion of at least one, but
also including more than one, of a number or list of elements, and,
optionally, additional unlisted
items. Only terms clearly indicated to the contrary, such as "only one of or
"exactly one of," or,
when used in the claims, "consisting of," will refer to the inclusion of
exactly one element of a
number or list of elements. In general, the term "or" as used herein shall
only be interpreted as
indicating exclusive alternatives (i.e., "one or the other but not both") when
preceded by terms of
exclusivity, such as "either," "one of," "only one of," or "exactly one of."
1048] The term "about" and the like, as used herein, in association with
numeric values
or ranges, reflects the fact that there is a certain level of variation that
is recognized and tolerated
in the art due to practical and/or theoretical limitations. For example, minor
variation is tolerated
due to inherent variances in the manner in which certain devices operate
and/or measurements
are taken. In accordance with the above, the phrase "about" is normally used
to encompass
values within the standard deviation or standard error.
1049] In the claims, as well as in the specification above, all
transitional phrases such as
"comprising," "including," "carrying," "having," "containing," "involving,"
"holding,"
"composed of," and the like are to be understood to be open-ended, i.e., to
mean including but
not limited to. Only the transitional phrases "consisting of and "consisting
essentially of shall be
closed or semi-closed transitional phrases, respectively, as set forth in the
United States Patent
Office Manual of Patent Examining Procedures, Section 2111.03.
[050] As used herein in the specification and in the claims, the phrase
"at least one," in
reference to a list of one or more elements, should be understood to mean at
least one element
selected from anyone or more of the elements in the list of elements, but not
necessarily
including at least one of each and every element specifically listed within
the list of elements and
not excluding any combinations of elements in the list of elements. This
definition also allows
that elements may optionally be present other than the elements specifically
identified within the
list of elements to which the phrase "at least one" refers, whether related or
unrelated to those
elements specifically identified. Thus, as a nonlimiting example, "at least
one of A and B" (or,
equivalently, "at least one of A or B," or, equivalently "at least one of A
and/or B") can refer, in
one embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than one, A, with
no B present (and
optionally including elements other than B); in another embodiment, to at
least one, optionally
including more than one, B, with no A present (and optionally including
elements other than A);
14

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
in yet another embodiment, to at least one, optionally including more than
one, A, and at least
one, optionally including more than one. B (and optionally including other
elements); etc.
[051] It should also be understood that, in certain methods described
herein that include
more than one step or act, the order of the steps or acts of the method is not
necessarily limited to
the order in which the steps or acts of the method are recited unless the
context indicates
otherwise.
[052] The terms "co-administration" and "co-administering" or "combination
therapy"
can refer to both concurrent administration (administration of two or more
therapeutic agents at
the same time) and time varied administration (administration of one or more
therapeutic agents
at a time different from that of the administration of an additional
therapeutic agent or agents), as
long as the therapeutic agents are present in the patient to some extent,
preferably at effective
amounts, at the same time. In certain preferred aspects, one or more of the
present compounds
described herein, are coadministered in combination with at least one
additional bioactive agent,
especially including an anticancer agent. In particularly preferred aspects,
the co-administration
of compounds results in synergistic activity and/or therapy, including
anticancer activity.
[053] The term "effective" can mean, but is in no way limited to, that
amount/dose of
the active pharmaceutical ingredient, which, when used in the context of its
intended use,
effectuates or is sufficient to prevent, inhibit the occurrence, ameliorate,
delay or treat (alleviate
a symptom to some extent, preferably all) the symptoms of a condition,
disorder or disease state
in a subject in need of such treatment or receiving such treatment. The term
effective subsumes
all other effective amount or effective concentration terms, e.g., "effective
amount/dose,"
"pharmaceutically effective amount/dose" or "therapeutically effective
amount/dose," which are
otherwise described or used in the present application.
[054] The effective amount depends on the type and severity of disease, the

composition used, the route of administration, the type of mammal being
treated, the physical
characteristics of the specific mammal under consideration, concurrent
medication, and other
factors which those skilled in the medical arts will recognize. The exact
amount can be
ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g.,
Lieberman,
Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and
Technology of
Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and
Remington: The

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed.,
Lippincott, Williams &
Wilkins).
[055] The term "pharmacological composition," "therapeutic composition,"
"therapeutic formulation" or "pharmaceutically acceptable formulation" can
mean, but is in no
way limited to, a composition or formulation that allows for the effective
distribution of an agent
provided by the invention, which is in a form suitable for administration to
the physical location
most suitable for their desired activity, e.g., systemic administration.
1056] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable" or "pharmacologically
acceptable" can
mean, but is in no way limited to, entities and compositions that do not
produce an adverse,
allergic or other untoward reaction when administered to an animal, or a
human, as appropriate.
[057] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or
"pharmacologically acceptable
carrier" can mean, but is in no way limited to, any and all solvents,
dispersion media, coatings,
antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents,
and the like,
compatible with pharmaceutical administration. Suitable carriers are described
in the most recent
edition of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, a standard reference text in
the field, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Preferred examples of such carriers or
diluents include, but are
not limited to, water, saline, finger's solutions, dextrose solution, and 5%
human serum albumin.
Liposomes and non-aqueous vehicles such as fixed oils may also be used. The
use of such media
and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art.
Except insofar as any
conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active compound, use
thereof in the
compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active compounds can also be
incorporated into
the compositions.
1058] The term "systemic administration" refers to a route of
administration that is, e.g.,
enteral or parenteral, and results in the systemic distribution of an agent
leading to systemic
absorption or accumulation of drugs in the blood stream followed by
distribution throughout the
entire body. Suitable forms, in part, depend upon the use or the route of
entry, for example oral,
transdermal, or by injection. Such forms should not prevent the composition or
formulation from
reaching a target cell (i.e., a cell to which the negatively charged polymer
is desired to be
delivered to). For example, pharmacological compositions injected into the
blood stream should
be soluble. Other factors are known in the art, and include considerations
such as toxicity and
forms which prevent the composition or formulation from exerting its effect.
Administration
16

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
routes which lead to systemic absorption include, without limitations:
intravenous, subcutaneous,
intraperitoneal, inhalation, oral, intrapulmonary and intramuscular. The rate
of entry of a drug
into the circulation has been shown to be a function of molecular weight or
size. The use of a
liposome or other drug carrier comprising the compounds of the instant
invention can potentially
localize the drug, for example, in certain tissue types, such as the tissues
of the reticular
endothelial system (RES). A liposome formulation which can facilitate the
association of drug
with the surface of cells, such as, lymphocytes and inacrophages is also
useful.
1059] The term "local administration" refers to a route of
administration in which the
agent is delivered to a site that is apposite or proximal, e.g., within about
10 cm, to the site of the
lesion or disease.
[060] The term "compound", as used herein, unless otherwise indicated,
refers to any
specific chemical compound disclosed herein and includes tautomers,
regioisomers, geometric
isomers, and where applicable, stereoisomers, including optical isomers
(enffiniomers) and other
steroisomers (diastereoiners) thereof, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable
salts and derivatives
(including prodrug forms) thereof where applicable, in context. Within its use
in context, the
term compound generally refers to a single compound, but also may include
other compounds
such as stereoisomers, regioisomers and/or optical isomers (including racemic
mixtures) as well
as specific enantiomers or enantiomerically enriched mixtures of disclosed
compounds. The term
also refers, in context to prodrug forms of compounds which have been modified
to facilitate the
administration and delivery of compounds to a site of activity. It is noted
that in describing the
present compounds, numerous substituents and variables associated with same,
among others,
are described.
[061] It is understood by those of ordinary skill that molecules which are
described
herein are stable compounds as generally described hereunder. When the bond
is
shown, both a double bond and single bond are represented within the context
of the compound
shown.
[062] As used herein, "derivatives" can mean compositions formed from the
native
compounds either directly, by modification, or by partial substitution. As
used herein, "analogs"
can mean compositions that have a structure similar to, but not identical to,
the native compound.
17

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
1063] The term "Ubiquitin Ligase" refers to a family of proteins that
facilitate the
transfer of ubiquitin to a specific substrate protein, targeting the substrate
protein for
degradation. By way of example, Von Hippel-Lindau E3 Ubiquitin Ligase or VCB
E3 Ubiquitin
Ligase is protein that alone or in combination with an E2 ubiquitin-
conjugating enzyme causes
the attachment of ubiquitin to a lysine on a target protein, and subsequently
targets the specific
protein substrates for degradation by the proteasome. Thus, E3 ubiquitin
ligase alone or in
complex with an E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme is responsible for the
transfer of ubiquitin to
targeted proteins. In general, the ubiquitin ligase is involved in
polyubiquitination such that a
second ubiquitin is attached to the first; a third is attached to the second,
and so forth.
Polyubiquitination marks proteins for degradation by the proteasome. However,
there are some
ubiquitination events that are limited to mono-ubiquitination, in which only a
single ubiquitin is
added by the ubiquitin ligase to a substrate molecule. Mono-ubiquitinated
proteins are not
targeted to the proteasome for degradation, but may instead be altered in
their cellular location or
function, for example, via binding other proteins that have domains capable of
binding ubiquitin.
Further complicating matters, different lysines on ubiquitin can be targeted
by an E3 to make
chains. The most common lysine is Lys48 on the ubiquitin chain. This is the
lysine used to make
polyubiquitin, which is recognized by the proteasome.
[064] The term "subject" is used throughout the specification to describe a
cell, tissue,
or animal, preferably a mammal, e.g., a human or a domesticated animal, to
whom treatment,
including prophylactic treatment, with the compositions according to the
present invention is
provided. For treatment of those infections, conditions or disease states
which are specific for a
specific animal such as a human patient, the term patient refers to that
specific animal, including
a domesticated animal such as a dog or cat or a farm animal such as a horse,
cow, sheep, etc. In
general, in the present invention, the term patient refers to a human patient
unless otherwise
stated or implied from the context of the use of the term.
[065] Compounds
[066] In one aspect, the present invention provides compounds useful for
regulating
protein activity. The composition comprises a ubiquitin pathway protein
binding moiety
(preferably for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, alone or in complex with an E2
ubiquitin conjugating
enzyme which is responsible for the transfer of ubiquitin to targeted
proteins) according to a
defined chemical structure and a protein targeting moiety which are linked or
coupled together,
18

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553
PCT/US2018/044051
preferably through a linker, wherein the ubiquitin pathway protein binding
moiety recognizes an
ubiquitin pathway protein and the targeting moiety recognizes a target protein
(e.g., androgen
receptor). Such compounds may be referred to herein as PROTAC compounds or
PROTACs.
[067] In one aspect, the description provides AR binding moieties (ABM). In
certain
embodiments, the compounds having the following general structure: ABM-L,
wherein ABM is
an AR binding moiety as described herein, and L is a chemical linker moiety,
e.g., a linker as
described herein, or optionally a bond. In certain embodiments, the ABM and/or
L are coupled
to a ULM as described herein below.
[068] In another aspect, the disclosure provides compounds which function
to recruit
androgen receptor (AR) proteins to E3 LTbiquitin Ligase for ubiquintination
and degradation. In
certain embodiments, the compounds have the following general structure:
[069] ABM ¨L¨ULM (I),
1070]
wherein ULM is an E3 ligase binding moiety, ABM is an AR binding moiety,
which binds to an AR protein and L is a bond or a chemical linker moiety which
links the ABM
and ULM.
[071] In certain embodiments, the ULM is a moiety specific for an E3
ubiquitin ligase
such as, e.g., Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase (VHL), cereblon, mouse
double minute 2
homolog (Mdm2), or inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP), wherein the ULM moiety is
coupled to an
ABM as described herein.
[072] Without being bound by any particular theory, it is hypothesized that
due at least
in part to the proximity of AR and the E3 ubiquitin ligase, the AR is
ubiquitinated by the
ubiquitin ligase and degraded. In certain embodiments, the ABM is chemically
linked or
coupled directly to the ULM: group. In certain additional embodiments, the ABM
is chemically
linked or coupled to the ULM via a chemical linker moiety. In additional
embodiments, the
description provides compounds having the following general structure:
[073] ABM ¨L¨VLM (11),
[074] wherein ABM is an AR binding moiety and VLM is a Von Hippel-Lindau E3

Ubiquitin Ligase (VHL) binding moiety,and L is a bond or a chemical linker
moiety which links
the ABM and VLM. The ULM or VLM group and ABM group may be covalently linked
to the
linker group through any covalent bond which is appropriate and stable to the
chemistry of the
linker.
19

WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
1075] In certain embodiments, the ULM or VLM comprises a hydroxyproly1
moiety.
The hydroxyl prolyl moiety has been shown to be importantn for binding and
recruiting of the
VHL protein.
[076] It will be understood that the general structures are exemplary
and the respective
moieties can be arranged in any desired order or configuration, e.g., ULM-L-AB
M, and VLM-L-
ABM respectively. In certain additional embodiments, the compounds comprise a
plurality of
E3 ligase binding moieties and/or a plurality of ABMs.
1077] In certain embodiments, ABM alone, without forming ABM-L-ULM,
provides
desired properties in regulating protein activity.
1078] In any of the aspects or embodiments of compounds described
herein, unless
indicated otherwise, the compounds are intended to encompass pharmaceutically
acceptable
salts, enantiomers, stereoisomers, solvates or polymorphs thereof.

embodiments, the
linker is substituted with an aryl, phenyl, benzyl, alkyl, alkylene, or
heterocycle group. In certain
embodiments, the linker may be asymmetric or symmetrical.
[0138] In certain aspects the description provides a PROTAC compound in
which the
linker is cleavable in vivo into a functional E3 ligase binding moiety, and
target protein binding
moiety. In this regard, and without being bound by any particular theory, it
is hypothesized that
such a configuration can potentiate the beneficial effects of the degradation
activity of the intact
PROTAC molecule. Thus, in certain embodiments, the linker is configured or
"tuned" to have
the desired kinetics of cleavage into functional component molecules or active
metabolites. In
certain embodiments, the enzyme responsible for cleavage of the linker is a
liver enzyme, such
as, e.g., oxidases, peroxidase, reductases, transferases, dehydrogenases,
peroxidases. In certain
embodiments, the enzyme is at least one of cytochrome P450 oxidase, e.g.,
CYP3A4, Flavin-
containing monooxygenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase,
monoamine
oxidase, peroxidase, glutathione S-transferase, cytochrome P450 reductase,
sulfotransferase,

thereof.
[0139] Exemplary Androaen Bindina Moieties (ABMs)
101401 In another aspect, the description provides AR binding moieties
(ABM), which in
certain aspects and embodiments are coupled to a linker and/or a ULM as
described herein.
[0141] In any of the compounds described herein, the ABM comprises a
chemical moiety
that binds to the androgen receptor (AR). Various androgen receptor binding
compounds have
been described in literature, including various androgen derivatives such as
testosterone,
dihydrotestosterone, and metribolone (also known as methyltrienolone or
R1881), and non-
steroidal compounds such as bicalutamide, enzalutamide. Those of ordinary
skill in the art would
appreciate that these androgen receptor binding compounds could be potentially
used as an ABM
moiety in a PROTAC compound. Such literature includes, but not limited to, G.

10172] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a library of
compounds.
The library comprises more than one compound wherein each compound has a
formula of ABM-
L-ULM, wherein ULM is a ubiquitin pathway protein binding moiety (preferably,
an E3
ubiquitin ligase moiety as otherwise disclosed herein), e.g., a VLM, and ABM
is an AR protein
binding moiety, wherein ABM is coupled (preferably, through a linker moiety)
to ULM, and
wherein the ubiquitin pathway protein binding moiety recognizes an ubiquitin
pathway protein,
in particular, an E3 ubiquitin ligase.
[0173] The present description includes, where applicable, the
compositions comprising
the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, in particular, acid or base addition
salts of compounds of
the present invention.
10174] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is used throughout the
specification
to describe, where applicable, a salt form of one or more of the compounds
described herein
which are presented to increase the solubility of the compound in the gastic
juices of the patient's
gastrointestinal tract in order to promote dissolution and the bioavailability
of the compounds.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those derived from pharmaceutically
acceptable
76

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
inorganic or organic bases and acids, where applicable. Suitable salts include
those derived from
alkali metals such as potassium and sodium, alkaline earth metals such as
calcium, magnesium
and ammonium salts, among numerous other acids and bases well known in the
pharmaceutical
art. Sodium and potassium salts are particularly preferred as neutralization
salts of the
phosphates according to the present invention.
[0175] The acids which are used to prepare the pharmaceutically
acceptable acid addition
salts of the aforementioned base compounds useful in this invention are those
which form non-
toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable
anions, such as the
hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, nitrate, sulfate, bisulfate,
phosphate, acid phosphate,
acetate, lactate, citrate, acid citrate, tartrate, bitartrate, succinate,
maleate, fumarate, gluconate,
saccharate, benzoate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-
toluenesulfonate
and pamoate [i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3 naphthoate)]salts, among
numerous others.
10176] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts may also be used
to produce
pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms of the compounds or derivatives
according to the present
invention. The chemical bases that may be used as reagents to prepare
pharmaceutically
acceptable base salts of the present compounds that are acidic in nature are
those that form non-
toxic base salts with such compounds. Such non-toxic base salts include, but
are not limited to
those derived from such pharmacologically acceptable cations such as alkali
metal cations (eg.,
potassium and sodium) and alkaline earth metal cations (eg, calcium, zinc and
magnesium),
ammonium or water-soluble amine addition salts such as N-methylglucamine-
(meglumine), and
the lower alkanolammonium and other base salts of pharmaceutically acceptable
organic amines,
among others.
[0177] Compositions
[0178] In another aspect, the description provides compositions
comprising compounds
as described herein, including salts thereof, and a pharmaceutically
acceptable carrier. In certain
embodiments, the compositions are therapeutic or pharmaceutical compositions
comprising an
effective amount of a compound as described herein and a pharmaceutally
acceptable carrier.
[0179] The amount of compound in a pharmaceutical composition of the
instant
invention that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single
dosage form will
vary depending upon the host and disease treated, the particular mode of
administration.
Generally, an amount between 0.1 mg/kg and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day of
active ingredients
77

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
is administered dependent upon potency of the agent. Toxicity and therapeutic
efficacy of such
compounds can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell
cultures or
experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50%
of the population)
and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population).
The dose ratio
between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be
expressed as the ratio
LD50/ED50. Compounds that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred.
While compounds
that exhibit toxic side effects may be used, care should be taken to design a
delivery system that
targets such compounds to the site of affected tissue in order to minimize
potential damage to
uninfected cells and, thereby, reduce side effects. The data obtained from the
cell culture assays
and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in
humans. The dosage
of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations
that include the
ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range
depending upon the
dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. For any
compound used in the
method of the invention, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated
initially from cell
culture assays. A dose may be formulated in animal models to achieve a
circulating plasma
concentration range that includes the IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the
test compound which
achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture.
Such information
can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels in
plasma may be
measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography.
[0180] The compositions of the present invention may be formulated in a
conventional
manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and may also be
administered in
controlled-release formulations. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that may
be used in these
pharmaceutical compositions include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers,
alumina, aluminum
stearate, lecithin, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer
substances such as
phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride
mixtures of saturated
vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as prolamine
sulfate, disodium hydrogen
phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts,
colloidal silica,
magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose-based substances,
polyethylene glycol,
sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-
polyoxypropylene-block
polymers, polyethylene glycol and wool fat.

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
[0181] The active compound is included in the pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier or
diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver to a patient a therapeutically
effective amount for the
desired indication, without causing serious toxic effects in the patient
treated. A preferred dose of
the active compound for all of the herein-mentioned conditions is in the range
from about 10
ng/kg to 300 mg/kg, preferably 0.1 to 100 mg/kg per day, more generally 0.5 to
about 25 ing per
kilogram body weight of the recipient/patient per day. A typical topical
dosage will range from
0.01-5% wt/wt in a suitable carrier.
10182] The compound is conveniently administered in any suitable unit
dosage form,
including but not limited to one containing less than lmg, 1 mg to 3000 mg,
preferably 5 to 500
mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. An oral dosage of about 25-250
mg is often
convenient.
[0183] The active ingredient is preferably administered to achieve peak
plasma
concentrations of the active compound of about 0.00001-30 mM, preferably about
0.1-30 M.
This may be achieved, for example, by the intravenous injection of a solution
or formulation of
the active ingredient, optionally in saline, or an aqueous medium or
administered as a bolus of
the active ingredient. Oral administration is also appropriate to generate
effective plasma
concentrations of active agent.
101841 The concentration of active compound in the drug composition will
depend on
absorption, distribution, inactivation, and excretion rates of the drug as
well as other factors
known to those of skill in the art. It is to be noted that dosage values will
also vary with the
severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood
that for any particular
subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to
the individual need
and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the
administration of
the compositions, and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are
exemplary only and are
not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition. The
active ingredient may
be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to
be administered at
varying intervals of time.
[0185] If administered intravenously, preferred carriers are
physiological saline or
phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
[0186] In one embodiment, the active compounds are prepared with carriers
that will
protect the compound against rapid elimination from the body, such as a
controlled release
79

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems.
Biodegradable,
biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate,
polyanhydrides,
polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid. Methods for
preparation of such
formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
10187] Liposoinal suspensions may also be pharmaceutically acceptable
carriers. These
may be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for
example, as
described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,811 (which is incorporated herein by
reference in its entirety).
For example, liposome formulations may be prepared by dissolving appropriate
lipid(s) (such as
stearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine, stearoyl phosphatidyl choline, arachadoyl
phosphatidyl
choline, and cholesterol) in an inorganic solvent that is then evaporated,
leaving behind a thin
film of dried lipid on the surface of the container. An aqueous solution of
the active compound
are then introduced into the container. The container is then swirled by hand
to free lipid material
from the sides of the container and to disperse lipid aggregates, thereby
forming the liposomal
suspension.
[0188] Modes of Adminstration
[0189] In any of the aspects or embodiments described herein, the
therapeutic
compositions comprising compounds described herein can be in any suitable
dosage form
configured to be delivered by any suitable route. For example, the compounds
can be
administered by any appropriate route, for example, orally, parenterally,
intravenously,
intradermally, subcutaneously, or topically, including transdermally, in
liquid, cream, gel, or
solid form, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally or via an implanted
reservoir or by aerosol form.
10190] The term "parenteral" as used herein includes subcutaneous,
intravenous,
intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal,
intrahepatic, intralesional
and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the
compositions are administered
orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously.
[0191] The compounds as described herein may be administered in single or
divided
doses by the oral, parenteral or topical routes. Administration of the active
compound may range
from continuous (intravenous drip) to several oral administrations per day
(for example, Q.I.D.)
and may include oral, topical, parenteral, intramuscular, intravenous, sub-
cutaneous, transdermal
(which may include a penetration enhancement agent), buccal, sublingual and
suppository
administration, among other routes of administration. Enteric coated oral
tablets may also be

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
used to enhance bioavailability of the compounds from an oral route of
administration. The most
effective dosage form will depend upon the pharmacolcinetics of the particular
agent chosen as
well as the severity of disease in the patient.
101921 Administration of compounds as sprays, mists, or aerosols for
intra-nasal, intra-
tracheal or pulmonary administration may also be used. Compounds as described
herein may be
administered in immediate release, intermediate release or sustained or
controlled release forms.
Sustained or controlled release forms are preferably administered orally, but
also in suppository
and transdermal or other topical forms. Intramuscular injections in liposomal
form may also be
used to control or sustain the release of compound at an injection site.
10193] Sterile injectable forms of the compositions as described herein
may be aqueous
or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to
techniques known
in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents.
The sterile injectable
preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-
toxic parenterally-
acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1, 3-butanediol.
Among the
acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's
solution and isotonic
sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally
employed as a solvent
or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed
including
synthetic mono- or di-glycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its
glyceride derivatives are
useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-
acceptable oils, such as
olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These
oil solutions or
suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such
as Ph. Hely or
similar alcohol.
101941 The pharmaceutical compositions as described herein may be orally
administered
in any orally acceptable dosage form including, but not limited to, capsules,
tablets, aqueous
suspensions or solutions. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers which
are commonly used
include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium
stearate, are also
typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents
include lactose and
dried corn starch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the
active ingredient is
combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain
sweetening, flavoring or
coloring agents may also be added. Oral compositions will generally include an
inert diluent or
an edible carrier. They may be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into
tablets. For the
81

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound or its prodrug
derivative can be
incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches, or
capsules.
Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials are
included as part of
the composition.
10195] The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any
of the following
ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as
microcrystalline cellulose, gum
tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a dispersing
agent such as alginic
acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or
Sterotes; a glidant such
as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin;
or a flavoring agent
such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. When the dosage
unit form is a
capsule, it can contain, in addition to material of the above type, a liquid
carrier such as a fatty
oil. In addition, dosage unit forms can contain various other materials which
modify the physical
form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar, shellac, or enteric
agents.
10196] The active compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof
can be
administered as a component of an elixir, suspension, syrup, wafer, chewing
gum or the like. A
syrup may contain, in addition to the active compounds, sucrose as a
sweetening agent and
certain preservatives, dyes and colorings and flavors.
101971 Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions as described herein
may be
administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These can
be prepared by
mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient, which is solid at
room temperature but
liquid at rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release
the drug. Such
materials include cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycols.
10198] The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be
administered
topically. Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of
these areas or organs.
Topical application for the lower intestinal tract can be effected in a rectal
suppository
formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-
acceptable transdermal
patches may also be used. For topical applications, the pharmaceutical
compositions may be
formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or
dissolved in one
or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of the compounds of this
invention include,
but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum,
propylene glycol,
polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water. In
certain preferred
82

CA 03069544 2020-01-09
WO 2019/023553 PCT/US2018/044051
aspects of the invention, the compounds may be coated onto a stent which is to
be surgically
implanted into a patient in order to inhibit or reduce the likelihood of
occlusion occurring in the
stent in the patient.
101991 Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated
in a suitable
lotion or cream containing the active components suspended or dissolved in one
or more
pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not
limited to, mineral oil,
sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-
octyldodecanol,
benzyl alcohol and water.
102001 For ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutical compositions may be
formulated as
micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, or,
preferably, as solutions in
isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, either with our without a preservative
such as
benzylalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the
pharmaceutical compositions
may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum.
102011 The pharmaceutical compositions of this invention may also be
administered by
nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to
techniques well-known
in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in
saline, employing
benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to
enhance bioavailability,
fluorocarbons, and/or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.
[0202] Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal,
subcutaneous, or topical
application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as
water for injection,
saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol
or other synthetic
solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens;
antioxidants such as
ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid;
buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for the adjustment
of tonicity such as
sodium chloride or dextrose. The parental preparation can be enclosed in
ampoules, disposable
syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
102031 It should also be understood that a specific dosage and treatment
regimen for any
particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the
activity of the specific
compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of
administration, rate
of excretion, drug combination, and the judgment of the treating physician and
the severity of the
particular disease or condition being treated.

carried out at temperatures between about -78 C and about 150 C. Preferably,
the reaction is
carried out between about 0 C and about 100 C.
[0257] Although not explicitly shown in schemes 3-6, a chemist of
ordinary skill would
realize that during any of the synthetic sequences it may be necessary and/or
desirable to protect
sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This can be
achieved by means
of conventional protecting groups, such as those described in T.W. Greene,
Protective Groups in
Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons (1981); T.W. Greene and P.G.M. Wuts,
Protective
Groups in Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons (1991), and T.W. Greene and
P.G.M. Wuts,
Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry, John Wiley & Sons, 1999, which are
hereby
incorporated by reference in their entireties.
[0258] When a general or exemplary synthetic procedure is referred to,
one skilled in the
art can readily determine the appropriate reagents, if not indicated,
extrapolating from the
general or exemplary procedures. Some of the general procedures are given as
examples for
preparing specific compounds. One skilled in the art can readily adapt such
procedures to the
synthesis of other compounds. Representation of an unsubstituted position in
structures shown or
referred to in the general procedures is for convenience and does not preclude
substitution as
described elsewhere herein. For specific groups that can be present, either as
R groups in the
general procedures or as optional substituents not shown, refer to the
descriptions in the
remainder of this document, including the claims, summary and detailed
description.
[0259] The process to produce compounds of the present invention is
preferably carried
out at about atmospheric pressure although higher or lower pressures can be
used if desired.
Substantially equimolar amounts of reactants are preferably used although
higher or lower
amounts can also be used.
[0260] The compounds of Formulae II-IV (below), or their pharmaceutically
acceptable
salts, may be prepared by the methods similar to chemistry illustrated above
for synthesis of
compounds of Formula I (scheme 3-6), together with synthetic methods known in
the art of
organic chemistry, or modifications and derivatizations that are familiar to
those of ordinary skill
in the art:

butyl 3-(2-
hydroxyethoxy)propanoate (3.3 g, 17.19 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (6.8 g,
25.81 mmol) in
tetrahydrofuran (120.0 mL) was added diethyl diazene-1,2-dicarboxylate (4.49
g, 25.78 mmol)
dropwise at 0 under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The resulting solution was
stirred overnight at
room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure
to give a crude
residue, which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (eluent: ethyl
acetate/petroleum
ether, v/v =1/3) to provide the titled product (yield: 50%) as colorless oil.

was stirred for 12
hours at 100 C. The bulk of solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and
the resulting
aqueous residue was extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL x 2). The organic
layers were
combined, washed with brine (70 mL x 2), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate,
and concentrated
under reduced pressure to give a crude residue which was purified by silica
gel flash
