Backctround and Summarv of the Invention _
The control and cure of cancer represents one of our
most challenging health problems.-Tie treatment of cancer
can be approached by several modes of therapy including
surgery, radiation, chemotherapy.or a combination of any of
these treatments. Chemotherapy continues to be an
indispensable therapy for inoperable or metastatic forms of
the disease.
The selection of natural compounds, or=the synthesis
of new compounds having effective anticancer activity is
" complicated by the still limited knowledge of cancer cell
biology,and biochemistry. Therefore, development of new
effective anti-tumor agents will remain heavily dependent
- 35 on screening compounds to discover novel compounds having

CA 02272275 1999-OS-18
WO 98/2369 PCT/US96/19118
- 2
cytotoxic activity. Preferably , such compounds exhibit
enhanced cytotoxicity against tumor cells relative to their
cytotoxicity to normal cells.
Natural products have a history of providing,novel,
clinically useful anticancer drugs. Many active natural
products have also served as prototypes for the development
of new analogs of clinical and preclinical importance. Some
specific examples are-the Vinca alkaloids (vincristine,
vinblastine, vindesine and vinorelbine), podophyllotoxins
etoposide and teniposide), taxanes (taxol, taxotere),
camptothecins (10-hydroxycamptothecin-, 9-
dimethylaminomethylcamptothecin, 9-aminocamptothecin and
CPT-li), homoharringtonine, adriamycin, daunomycin,
bleomycin, mitomycin, idamycin, plicamycin and
dactiri~nycin. It is clear that natural products will
continue to be important sources of novel anticancer
agents. However, key to the success of novel antitumor
drug development programs is the initial identification of
potential antitumor agents.
The mouse L1210 leukemia cell line was initially the
preferred model system used for screening natural compounds
for antitumor activity. However, the P388 murine leukemia ,,
system was found to be more sensitive and predictive than
L1210 leukemia system, and has been used as primary screen
during the past decade. Systematic screening for compounds
exhibiting toxicity to these two leukemia cell lines has
resulted in the isolation of a large number of active
natural products. However, the anticancer activities of
these compounds were predominantly in leukemia, lymphoma
and a few rare tumors. Low clinical efficacy, or the lack
of clinical efficacy of known chemotherapeutics against
slower growing solid tumors, is a serious concern.
It has been recognized that the use of a single
antileukemia screening system could bias the end results -
and lead to the isolation of compounds only active in the

CA 02272275 1999-05-18
WO 98I23269 PCT/US96/19118
3
treatment of fast growing tumors. In addition, the use of
a single antileukemia screening system may not detect novel
compounds with high specificities for particular cell
lines. It is also likely that many novel compounds with
possible anti tumor activity have remained undetected by
the less sensitive in vivo models due to the low
concentrations at which many active natural products occur.
Considering the diversity of tumors in terms of cell
type, morphology, growth rate and other cellular
l0 characteristics, the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI)
has developed a "disease-oriented" approach to antitumor
activity screening (M.R. Boyd, in "Principle of Practice of
Oncology" J.T. Devita, S. Hellman, S.A. Rosenberg (Eds.)
Vol. 3, PPO Update, No. 10, 1989). This in vitro
- prescreening system is based on the measurement of
antitumor cytotoxicity against human tumor cell line panels
consisting of approximately 60 cell lines of major human
- tumors (including leukemia and slower growing tumor cells
such as lung, colon, breast, skin, kidney, etc.). The most
important advantage of the new in vitro screening panels is
the opportunity to identify compounds that are selectively
more cytotoxic to cells of slowly growing solid tumors than
to-rapidly growing leukemia cells.
Thiophenes are sulfur containing heterocyclic
compounds that are distributed widely among the species of
the Asteraceae (Compositaie) family, including many species
with known_medicinal uses. The natural thiophene compounds
are thought to play an important role in the chemical
defense of plants against herbivorous insects and other
pests. Natural-thiophenes have been previously described
as having cytotoxic activities upon exposure to long
" wavelength ultraviolet light. Photochemical studies
suggest that thiophene phototoxicity is based primarily on
the production of toxic singlet oxygen by a type II
photodynamic process. However, polythiophene compounds

CA 02272275 1999-OS-18
WO 98/23269 PCT/US96119118
4 "
also exhibit cy~otoxic activity in the absence of light
activation. More particularly, we have demonstrated that
the polythiophene derivatives of the present invention are
effective antitumor agents.
In accordance with this invention there is-provided a
method for the treatment of cancer which utilizes.

and chemotherapeutic pharmaceutical compositions containing

Additional objects, features, and advantages of the
invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art
upon consideration of the followingwdetailed description of

invention as presently perceived.

The cytotoxic activity of the present polythiophene
compounds have been measured utilizing three different
assays or screens. The first screen measures the
cytotoxicity against a panel of sixty different human tumor
cell lines) This assay provides data regarding the general
cytotoxicity of an individual compound. In particular this
type-of assay is useful in identifying compounds which have
enhanced cytotoxic activity against slow growing tumors as
1o compared to fastergrowing tumor cells such as leukemia
tumor cell lines. The identification of such compounds is
critical since previously identified antitumor agents have
low cytotoxic activity against slower growing tumors. The
specificity of a compound for a limited number of tumor
cell lines also indicates that such a compound will likely
be less cytotoxic to normal cells. The specificity of a
cytotoxic compound for tumor cell lines relative to normal
- cells is an important characteristic of an effective
antitumor agent.
Antitumor cytotoxicity data for the National Cancer
Institute human tumor cell panels can also be expressed in
a graphic pattern (mean graph) to display differential cell
growth inhibition (K.D. Paull, R.H. Shoemaker, L. Hodes, A.
Monks, D.A. Scudiero, L. Rubinstein, J. Plowman and M.R.
Boyd,- J= Natl. Cancer Inst., 81, 1088, i989.) In the mean
graph, the arithmetic mean of the logarithm of the GISO (50%
growth inhibition), TGI (total growth inhibition) or LC5o
(50% lethal concentration) values is used as an anchor
point. Relative cytotoxicity is displayed by projecting
bars to the right or left of the mean, depending on whether
cell sensitivity to a test compound is more or less than
average. The length of mbar is indicative of differential
cytotoxicity against a specific type of tumor cells or
- tumor panels.
In a second assay, the cytotoxic selectivity is. assessed

by comparing-.cs~npound cytotoxicity against transformed
cells and normal cells. ICSO values were compared between
- treated TBE cells (ras-transformed human bronchial
epithelial cells) and NHBE cells (Normal human bronchial
epithelial cells). Cytotoxic effects on normal human
bronchial epithelial cells (NMBE) and ras-transformed human
bronchial epithelial cells (TBE) were measured by the cell
count (cell number) using Coulter Z.F. counter (Hialeah,
FL) carried out at Purdue University. The result is
expressed as GISO, concentration of drug at which cell
numbers are reduced to 50% of control cell culture (T.C.K.
Chan, C.-j. Chang, N.M. Koonchanok and R.L. Geahlen,
Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 193, 1l52, 1993). The data
presented in Table 8 illustrates that polythiophenes
generally exhibit greater cytotoxicity for transformed
human cells in comparison to the normal human cells.
The antitumor cytotoxicity of the thiophene compounds
tested in the first two in vitro assays was measured by a
microculture assay using either
3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide (MTT) or sulforhodamine B (SRB). [M.R. Boyd in

S. Hellman and S.A. Rosenberg (Eds.), Vol. 3, PPO Updates,
Number 10, 1989.] This assay has an advantage over in vivo
assay in that results are obtained within a week as opposed
to several months. The assay was carried out in 96-well
microtiter plates. The MTT assay is based on the
production of a dark blue formazan product by dehydrogenase
in the mitochondria of live tumor cells after exposure to
drug for 6 days [M. C. Alley, D.A. Scudiero, A. Monks, M.L.
Hursey, M.J. Czerwinski, D.L. Fine, B.J. Abbott, J.G. Mayo,
R.H. Shoemaker and M.R. Boyd, Cancer Res., 48, 589, 1988.]
Thus, only live cells are stained and can be measured at
570 nm. The SRB assay is based on the binding of the
anionic group to the basic amino acid residues of cellular
proteins after exposure of tumor cells to drug for 2 days
[P. Skehan, R. Storeng, D. Scudiero, A. Monks, J. McMahon,
D. Vistica, J.T. Warren, H. Bohesch, S. Kenney and M.R.
Boyd, J. Nat. Cancer Inst., 82, 1107, 1990.) Thus, the
total protein (viability) can be measured at 564 nm.-
Antitumor cytotoxicity is reported as GISO,~ effect drug dose
at which cell growth is retarded to 50% of control culture
of tumor cells. The active compounds are defined as those
compounds having GISO values that are less than 10-4 M or 10
I~g/ml.
Antitumoral activity of the present polythiophene
compounds has been confirmed by in vivo animal test data.
The in vivo data was derived from experiments in which
human tumors are transplanted into immune deficient mice
and allowed to grow for two~days prior to treatment_with a
polythiophene composition of this invention. See Example
48 and accompanying Tables 9 and 10. Data obtained from
studies using heterotransplanted tumors in immune deficient
- mice are recognized as well-correlated with the
effectiveness of.-these agents in clinical studies

The present invention further provides pharmaceutical
formulations comprising an effective amount of a
polythiophene compound for treating a patient having a
tumor. As used herein, an effective amount-of the
polythiophene compound is defined as the amount of the
compound which, upon administration to a patient, inhibits
growth of tumor cells, kills malignant cells, reduces the
volume or size of the tumors or eliminates the tumor
entirely in the treated patient.
The effective amount to be administered to a patient is
typically based on body surface area, patient weight, and
patient condition. The interrelationship of dosages for
animals and humans (based on milligrams per meter squared
of body surface) is described by Freireich, E.J., et al.,
Cancer Chemother. Reb., 50 (4): 219 (1966). Body surface
area may be approximately determined from patient height
and weight (see e.g., Scientific Tables, Geigy
Pharmaceuticals, Ardley, New York, pages 537-538 (1970)).
An effective amount of the polythiophene compounds in the
present invention can range from about 5 mg/kg. to about
500 mg/kg, more preferably from about 5 mg/kg to about 250
mg/kg, and most preferably about 5 to about 150 mg/kg.
_ Effective doses will also vary, as recognized by those
skilled in the art, dependant on route of administration,
excipient usage and the possibility of co-usage with other
therapeutic treatments including other anti-tumor agents,
and radiation therapy.
The pharmaceutical formulation may be administered via
the parenteral route, including subcutaneously,
intraperitoneally, intramuscularly--and intravenously.
Examples of parenteral dosage forms include aqueous
solutions of the active agent, in a isotonic saline, 5%
glucose or other well-known pharmaceutically acceptable
liquid carrier.' In one preferred aspect of the present
embodiment, the polythiophene compound is dissolved in a

saline solution containing 5% of dimethyl sulfoxide and 10~
Cremphor EL (Sigma Chemical Company). Additional
solubi.lizing agents such as cyclodextrins, which form
_ J- specific, more soluble complexes with the present
polythiophene compounds, or other solubilizing agents well-
known to those familiar with the art, can be utilized as
pharmaceutical excipients for delivery of the polythiophene
compounds.
The present compound can also be formulated into dosage
l0 forms for other routes of administration utilizing well -~~-----
known methods. The pharmaceutical compositions can be
formulated, for example, in dosage forms for oral
administration in a capsule, a gel seal or a tablet.
Capsules may comprise any well-known pharmaceutically
acceptable material such as gelatin or cellulose
derivatives. Tablets may be formulated in accordance with.
conventional procedure by compressing mixtures of the
active polythiopene and solid carriers, and lubricants
well-known to those familiar with the art. Examples of
solid carriers include starch, sugar, bentonite. The
compounds of the present invention can also be administered
in a form of a hard shell tablet or capsule containing, for
- _ _, example, lactose or mannitol as a binder and a conventional
fillers and tableting agents.
The following examples are provided to illustrate various
embodiments of Applicants' invention, and are not intended
to in any way limit the scope of the invention as set forth

Aminomethylterthiophene:
To a solution containing hydroxypropyl-p-cyclodextrin
(3.60-g) in H20 (50 mL) was added tartaric acid salt of
' ~ aminomethylterthiophene (460 mg, 1.08 mmol) in one portion
and s.~nicated for 10 minutes. The heterogeneous mixture
was heated to near boiling with stirring until a clear-
_ solution was resulted. The solution was cooled to room
temperature, gravity filtered, and freeze-dried to give
(2:1) hydroxypropyl-p-cyclodextrin complex of the tartaric
acid salt of aminomethylterthiophene.
The Quantitative Calculation of the Amount of
Aminomethylterthiophene in (2:1) Hydrouypropyl-/9-
cyclodextrin Complex of the Tartaric Acid Salt of
Aminomethylterthiophene: -
To 25.21 mg of the (2:1) cyclodextrin complex was added -
1.10 mg (0.0079 mmol) of nitrophenol and was dissolved in
D20 ( 1 mL) for 1H Nl~. The ration of
aminomethylterthiophene to nitrophenol calculated from the
1H NIA integration_ was 89%. - _
0.0079 mmol (nitrophenol) x 0.89 = 0.00704 mmol
(aminomethylterthiophene)
- w 0.00704 mm~l x 277g/mol (m. wt. of aminomethylterthiophene)
- 1.95 mg
- 25 Since 1.95-;ng of aminomethylterthiophene is in 25.21 mg
of the cyclodextrin complex,~l.0 mg of
aminomethylterthiophene is in 12.93 mg of the cyclodextrin
complex.
The solubility of cyclodextrin complex in H20 was tested
by dropwisely adding H2o to 30 mg of the cyclodextrin _
complex, with stirring. The result showed that the 30 mg
of the cyclodextrin complex, containing 2.32 mg of
aminomethylterthiophene, can be dissolved in 30 ~tL of H20
- to give clear syrup. The result suggests that 1 mL of H2o
- 35- can dissolve up to_77 mg of aminomethylterthiophene (1000 -

In Vivo Antitumor Activity
The following experiments were carried out at Purdue
University athymic mouse laboratory. Athymic mice-were
purchased from and maintained at the athymic mouse
laboratory under pathogenic conditions. Tumor cells (TBE)
were obtained from normal human bronchial epithelial cells
transfected~with p2~smic H1 carrying v-Harvey-ras (H-ras)
oncogene via protoplast fusion (G. H. Yoakum, J.F. Lechner,
E.W. Gabrielson, B.E. Korba, L. Malan-Shibley, J.C. Willey,
M.G. Valerio, A.M. Shamsuddin, B.F. Trump and C.C. Harris,

Koonchanok and R.L. Geahlen, Biochem. Biophys. Res.
Commun., 193, 1152, 1993. The TBE cells were implanted
subcutaneously on day 0 of tha experiment. Each test group
consists of five mice. The compounds tested were dissolved
in a saline solution or a saline solution containing 5% of
dimethylsulfoxide and 10% cremphor EL (Sigma Cheltiical'
Company, St. Louis, MO), and were administered
intraperitoneously.starting on day 2. The solution was
administered every four days for a total of four
treatments. Tumor volumes were measured every week. The -
antitumor activity was measured as-% of growth inhibition,
which is defined by the percentage~of the median tumor
volume reduction per week of the treated mice divided by
the median tumor volume per-week of the controlled mice
(Tables 9 and 10).

Fxample 51
Human tumor cells of various origins (kidney, skin,
ovary and lung cell lines) were implanted into athymic mice
and injected intraperitoneally with polythiophene compounds -
of the present claims. The tumor cells were-implanted at
various sites: subcutaneous, intraperitoneal and subrenal.
At predetermined times after tumor implantation,
l0 polythiophene compositions were administered
intraperitoneally to the test group mice according to the
drug schedule indicated by code in table il. The first
numbe-r of the cods indicates the interval between
treatments; the secorid number indicates the Total number of
times the drug was administered and the superscript letter
indicates the first day of treatment. Thus the designation ---
Q4d x 3d indicates the treatments were initiated 15 days
after implantation and a total of three treatments were
administered at intervals of four days. Tumor growth
inhibition was determined by comparing the wolume/weight of
---~_ _
the tumors o~ the treated mice in the test group with that
of-the tumors in the control group mice. The data are
presented as the percent of treated tumor volume/weight to
control tumor volume/weight (T/C %) with the day the
measurement was taken indicated in parenthesis.
