TECHNICAL FIELD
0002The present invention provides novel macrocyclic compounds having tumor vascular remodeling effects and anti-CAF (Cancer Associated Fibroblast) activity. The compounds can be used for, <i>e.g.,</i> treating cancer or inhibiting tumor growth in a subject.
BACKGROUND
0003Halichondrins, such as Halichondrin B, are anticancer agents originally isolated from the marine sponge <i>Halichondria okadai</i> (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0001" npl-type="s"><text> D. Uemura et al. "Norhalichondrin A: An Antitumor Polyether Macrolide from a Marine Sponge" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 4796 (1985</text></nplcit>)), and subsequently found in <i>Axinella</i> sp., <i>Phakellia carteri,</i> and <i>Lissodendoryx</i> sp. A total synthesis of Halichondrin B was published in 1992 (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0002" npl-type="s"><text> Y. Kishi et al. "Total Synthesis of Halichondrin B and Norhalichondrin B" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 114, 3162 (1992</text></nplcit>)). Halichondrin B has demonstrated <i>in vitro</i> inhibition of tubulin polymerization, microtubule assembly, beta 5-tubulin crosslinking, GTP and vinblastine binding to tubulin, and tubulin-dependent GTP hydrolysis, and has shown <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> anti-cancer properties (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0003" npl-type="s"><text> Y. Hirata et al. "Halichondrins-antitumor polyether macrolides from a marine sponge" Pure Appl. Chem., 58, 701 (1986</text></nplcit>); <nplcit id="ncit0004" npl-type="s"><text>Fodstad et al. "Comparative antitumor activities of halichondrins and vinblastine against human tumor xenografts" J. of Experimental Therapeutics & Oncology 1996; 1: 119, 125</text></nplcit>).
0004Eribulin mesylate (Halaven<sup>™</sup>), which was developed based on Halichondrin B (See, <i>e.g.</i>, International Publication No. <patcit id="pcit0003" dnum="WO1999065894A"><text>WO 1999/065894, published December 23, 1999</text></patcit>; International Publication No. <patcit id="pcit0004" dnum="WO2005118565A"><text>WO 2005/118565, published December 15, 2005</text></patcit>; and W. <nplcit id="ncit0005" npl-type="s"><text>Zheng et al.

0007Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are widely found in a variety of solid tumors, are stromal cells. It is well known that CAFs play an important role in angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. There is a close correlation between the amount of CAFs and clinical prognosis in, for example, invasive breast cancer (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0006" npl-type="s"><text>M. Yamashita et al. "Role of stromal myofibroblasts in invasive breast cancer: stromal expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin correlates with worse clinical outcome" Breast Cancer 19, 170, 2012</text></nplcit>) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0007" npl-type="s"><text>T. J. Underwood et al. "Cancer-associated fibroblasts predict poor outcome and promote periostin-dependent invasion in esophageal adenocarcinoma" Journal of Pathol., 235, 466, 2015</text></nplcit>). It has also been reported that CAFs correlate to resistance in a variety of tumors, such as, for example, breast cancer (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0008" npl-type="s"><text>P. Farmer et al. "A stroma-related gene signature predicts resistance to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer" Nature Medicine., 15(1), 68, 2009</text></nplcit>), and head and neck cancer (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0009" npl-type="s"><text> S. Schmitz et al. "Cetuximab promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition and cancer associated fibroblasts in patients with head and neck cancer" Oncotarget, 6 (33), 34288, 2015</text></nplcit>; <nplcit id="ncit0010" npl-type="s"><text>Y. Matsuoka et al. "The tumor stromal features are associated with resistance to 5-FU-based chemoradiotherapy and a poor prognosis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma" APMIS 123(3), 205, 2015</text></nplcit>).
0008It has thus been observed that tumor vascular remodeling effects and anti-CAF activity result in the improvement of the cancer microenvironment, which assists tumor treatment. Blood vessels are essential for the growth of tumors. Reconstructed blood vessels in tumors can deliver anti-cancer agents to the tumors, in addition to alleviating hypoxia. It is reported that eribulin-induced remodeling of abnormal tumor vasculature leads to a more functional microenvironment that may reduce the aggressiveness of tumors due to the elimination of inner tumor hypoxia. Because abnormal tumor microenvironments enhance both drug resistance and metastasis, the apparent ability of eribulin to reverse these aggressive characteristics may contribute to its clinical benefits (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0011" npl-type="s"><text>Y. Funahashi et al. "Eribulin mesylate reduces tumor microenvironment abnormality by vascular remodeling in preclinical human breast cancer models" Cancer Sci. 105 (2014), 1334-1342</text></nplcit>). Anti-cancer drugs having tumor vascular remodeling effects and anti-CAF activities have not been reported as of today.
0009Despite the progress made, additional compounds are needed to progress research and medical care of patients with tumors and cancer.

Chemical Definitions
0030Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, <i>Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,</i> 75<sup>th</sup> Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in <nplcit id="ncit0012" npl-type="b"><text>Organic Chemistry, Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999</text></nplcit>; <nplcit id="ncit0013" npl-type="b"><text>Smith and March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001</text></nplcit>; <nplcit id="ncit0014" npl-type="b"><text>Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989</text></nplcit>; and <nplcit id="ncit0015" npl-type="b"><text>Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987</text></nplcit>.
0031Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, <i>e.g</i>., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses.

Other Definitions
0078As used herein, the term "salt" refers to any and all salts, and encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, <nplcit id="ncit0023" npl-type="s"><text>Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19</text></nplcit>, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N<sup>+</sup>(C<sub>1-4</sub> alkyl)<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate. Compounds described herein are also provided, and can be administered, as a free base.
0079It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers". Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers".

0105The compounds provided herein may be optionally be in the form of a hydrate, solvate or polymorph, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. The present invention also provides stereoisomers of any one of the compounds described herein. Compounds provided herein may exist as a crystal polymorph, and the compound of the present invention may be in any of single crystal forms or a mixture of two or more crystal forms. Compounds provided herein can be in an amorphous form, or can be an anhydride or a solvate, such as a hydrate.
0106The present invention includes isotopically labeled derivatives of compounds provided herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The isotopically labeled compound is equivalent to compounds provided herein, except that one or more atom(s) are replaced by atom(s) having an atomic mass or a mass number different from those usually found in nature. Examples of an isotope that can be incorporated into the compound of the present invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, iodine, bromine and chlorine, such as <sup>2</sup>H, <sup>3</sup>H, <sup>11</sup>C, <sup>13</sup>C, <sup>14</sup>C, <sup>18</sup>F, <sup>35</sup>S, <sup>123</sup>I, and <sup>125</sup>I.
0107The isotopically labeled compound, such as a compound into which a radioactive isotope of, for example, <sup>3</sup>H and/or <sup>14</sup>C is incorporated, is useful for a tissue distribution assay for a medicine and/or a matrix. The isotopes <sup>3</sup>H and <sup>14</sup>C are regarded to be useful because these isotopes can be easily prepared and detected. The isotopes <sup>11</sup>C and <sup>18</sup>F are useful in PET (positron emission tomography). The isotope <sup>125</sup>I is regarded to be useful in SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography), and can be useful in brain imaging. Replacement by a heavier isotope such as <sup>2</sup>H causes, because of its higher metabolic stability, some advantages, in a treatment, of, for example, extension of half-life <i>in vivo</i> or reduction of a necessary dose, and therefore, is regarded useful under given circumstances. The isotopically labeled compound can be similarly prepared by using a readily available isotopically labeled reagent instead of a non-isotopically labeled reagent and by performing processes disclosed in schemes and/or examples described below.

0144A "proliferative disease" refers to a disease that occurs due to abnormal growth or extension by the multiplication of cells (<nplcit id="ncit0025" npl-type="b"><text>Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of Biology; Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990</text></nplcit>). A proliferative disease may be associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent cells; 2) the pathological migration of cells from their normal location (<i>e.g</i>., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as the matrix metalloproteinases (<i>e.g</i>., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the pathological angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative diseases include cancers (<i>i.e</i>., "malignant neoplasms"), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
0145The term "angiogenesis" refers to the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is distinct from vasculogenesis, which is the <i>de novo</i> formation of endothelial cells from mesoderm cell precursors. The first vessels in a developing embryo form through vasculogenesis, after which angiogenesis is responsible for most blood vessel growth during normal or abnormal development. Angiogenesis is a vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing and in the formation of granulation tissue. However, angiogenesis is also a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a benign state to a malignant one, leading to the use of angiogenesis inhibitors in the treatment of cancer. Angiogenesis may be chemically stimulated by angiogenic proteins, such as growth factors (<i>e.g</i>., VEGF). "Pathological angiogenesis" refers to abnormal (<i>e.g</i>., excessive or insufficient) angiogenesis that amounts to and/or is associated with a disease.
0146The terms "neoplasm" and "tumor" are used herein interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be "benign" or "malignant," depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A "benign neoplasm" is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain "benign" tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor's neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as "pre-malignant neoplasms." An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a "malignant neoplasm" is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term "metastasis," "metastatic," or "metastasize" refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a "secondary tumor" or "secondary cell mass" of the tissue type of the primary or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located.
0147In certain embodiments, the disease to be treated is cancer. The term "cancer" refers to a class of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that proliferate uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissues.

<i>Pharmacological Test Examples</i>
General information
0299Natural Halichondrin compounds and modified compounds thereof are known in the literature (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0059" npl-type="s"><text>D. Uemura et al. "Norhalichondrin A: An Antitumor Polyether Macrolide from a Marine Sponge" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 4796 (1985</text></nplcit>); <nplcit id="ncit0060" npl-type="s"><text>Marc Litaudon et al. "Antitumor Polyether Macrolides: New and Hemisynthetic Halichondrins from the New Zealand Deep-Water Sponge Lissodendoryx sp." J. Org. Chem., 1997, 62, 1868-1871</text></nplcit>). However, most of them are not easily available. For example, Dr. Uemura <i>et.al.</i> isolated 12.5 mg of Halichondrin B, 35.0 mg of Norhalichondrin A and 17.2 mg of Homohalichondrin A from as much as 600 kg of <i>Halichondria okadai</i> Kadota (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0061" npl-type="s"><text>D. Uemura et al. "Norhalichondrin A: An Antitumor Polyether Macrolide from a Marine Sponge" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 4796 (1985</text></nplcit>)). Among natural Halichondrin compounds, Halichondrin B shows the strongest anti-tumor activities against B-16 melanoma cells <i>in vitro</i> and is highly active against L-1210 Leukemia <i>in vivo</i> (See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0062" npl-type="s"><text>D. Uemura et al. "Norhalichondrin A: An Antitumor Polyether Macrolide from a Marine Sponge" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 4796 (1985</text></nplcit>)). Halichondrin C is also active in various <i>in vivo</i> models but unstable in aqueous solution in comparison with Halichondrin B. Norhalichondrin B is much weaker than Halichondrin B not only <i>in vitro</i> but also <i>in vivo</i> See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0063" npl-type="s"><text> D. Uemura et al. "Norhalichondrin A: An Antitumor Polyether Macrolide from a Marine Sponge" J. Am. Chem. Soc., 107, 4796 (1985</text></nplcit>)). The following pharmacological tests use Halichondrin B (Hali-B) as reference compounds as needed.
Pharmacological Test Example 1. FaDu growth inhibition assay
0300In this assay, the growth inhibitory activity of test compounds in a human squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cell line FaDu was measured.

Pharmacological Test Example 4. Antitumor effects in FaDu subcutaneous xenograft model in mice as monotherapy
0303A human squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cell line FaDu, which had been cultured in an RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS, and penicillin and streptomycin, was adjusted to a concentration of 4.8 × 10<sup>7</sup> cells/mL with Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution to prepare a cell suspension. The cell suspension was inoculated in a volume of 100 µL into a subcutaneous part of a right flank of nude mice, 7 weeks of ages (CAnN.Cg-Foxnlnu/CrlCrlj, female, Charles River Laboratories Japan Inc.). Nine days after cell inoculation, the shortest diameter and the longest diameter of a tumor in each mouse were measured by using an electronic digital caliper (Digimatic<sup>™</sup> caliper, Mitutoyo Corporation), so as to calculate the volume of the tumor in accordance with the following calculation formulae: <maths id="math0001"><math display="block"><mtable columnalign="left"><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>Tumor</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>volume</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><msup><mi>mm</mi><mi mathvariant="normal">3</mi></msup></mfenced><mo>=</mo><mrow><mi>Longest</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>diameter</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>mm</mi></mfenced><mo>×</mo><mrow><mi>Shortest</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>diameter</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>mm</mi></mfenced><mo>×</mo><mi>Shortest</mi></mtd></mtr><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>diameter</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>mm</mi></mfenced><mo>/</mo><mn>2</mn></mtd></mtr></mtable></math><img file="EP4403560A2_D0118.tif" /></maths><maths id="math0002"><math display="block"><mtable columnalign="left"><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>Relative</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>tumor</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>volume</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>RTV</mi></mfenced><mo>=</mo><mrow><mi>Tumor</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>volume</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>day</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi mathvariant="normal">X</mi></mfenced><mo>/</mo><mrow><mi>Tumor</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>volume</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>the</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>first</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>day</mi></mfenced></mtd></mtr><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>Tumor</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>Regression</mi><mspace width="1ex" /></mrow><mfenced><mi>%</mi></mfenced><mo>=</mo><mfenced><mn>1</mn><mo>−</mo><mi>minimum</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>RTV</mi></mfenced><mo>×</mo><mn>100</mn></mtd></mtr></mtable></math><img file="EP4403560A2_D0119.tif" /></maths>
0304On the basis of the volumes of tumors obtained on the first day of administration, the mice were grouped such that averages of the tumor volumes were substantially equal among the groups.

Then, helper-free recombinant retroviruses were produced by transfecting the above retroviral expression vector together with pGP and pE-Ampho plasmids (Takara Bio; Shiga, Japan), into 293T cells (ATCC; Manassas, USA). Next, HSC-2 cells were infected with the recombinant retroviruses, and were cultured for two weeks in the presence of puromycin (2 µg/mL). The infected cells were selected from a polyclonal proliferative population of the culture.
0318Under anesthesia, the human SCCHN cell line, HSC-2-Luc was inoculated into tongue of female nude mice (1 × 10<sup>6</sup> cells in 50 µL of PBS), 6 weeks of ages (CAnN.Cg-Foxnlnu/CrlCrlj mice; Charles River, Inc.; Shizuoka, Japan). Seven days after transplantation, the tumor volume was analyzed using bioluminescence signal from HSC-2-Luc cells. For bioluminescence imaging, 0.1 mLof 15 mg/mL D-luciferin (Promega, Madison, WI) was injected intraperitoneally into nude mice under 1% to 2% inhaled isoflurane anesthesia. The bioluminescence signal was monitored using the IVIS SPECTRUM series (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA), consisting of a highly sensitive, cooled chargecoupled device camera. Living Image software (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) was used to grid the imaging data and integrate the total bioluminescence signal in each region-of-interest (ROI). All bioluminescence images were acquired with a 1 second exposure. Data were analyzed using total photon flux emission (photons / second) in the ROIs.
0319On the basis of the total photon flux emission obtained on the first day of administration, the mice were grouped such that averages of the total photon flux emission were substantially equal among the groups. Compound (1) or cisplatin was intravenously administered with or without cetuximab (Erbitux, Merck Serono Co., Ltd.) once a week for 3 weeks (Q7D×3 schedule). Two experiments were conducted using the identical procedure and all data were collected from the experiments. Each group consisted of 16 mice.
0320The imaging data showed that only the treatment of Compound (1) with cetuximab clearly reduced the bioluminescence signal in all mice after Day 14 (<figref idref="f0006 f0007">Figure 6A-6B</figref>). Median survival time (MST) was calculated for each group of treatment as the median of the days of death. Increase Life Span (ILS) was calculated by the following formula: ILS (%) = (MST of animals treated with test compound - MST of control animals) / MST of control animals × 100.

Pharmacological Test Example 14. Effect on tubulin polymerization <i>in vitro (Figure 10A)</i>
0326Tubulin Polymerization Assay kit was purchased from Cytoskeleton, Inc. (Cat.# BK011P). The kit contained 1 bottle of lyophilized tubulin protein purified from porcine brain, 3 tubes of lyophilized GTP, 2 bottles of lyophilized assay buffer, and 1 bottle of tubulin glycerol buffer. Assay buffer was prepared by dissolving the contents in 10 mL of deionized and sterilized water. This solution contained 80 mmol/L piperazine-<i>N,N</i>'-bis[2-ethanesulfonic acid] sesquisodium salt, 2.0 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.5 mmol/L ethylene glycol-bis(2-amino-ethyl ether) <i>N,N,N',N'</i>-tetra-acetic acid, pH 6.9, and 10 µmol/L fluorescent reporter. The buffer was stored at -70 °C until use. Tubulin glycerol buffer consisted of 80 mmol/L piperazine-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>'-bis[2-ethanesulfonic acid] sesquisodium salt, 2.0 mmol/L magnesium chloride, 0.5 mmol/L ethylene glycol-bis(2-amino-ethyl ether) <i>N,N,N',N'-tetra-acetic</i> acid, and 60% v/v glycerol, pH 6.9. It was stored at 4 °C until use. GTP stock solution was prepared by dissolving the contents of each tube in 100 µL of deionized and sterilized water to achieve a concentration of 100 mmol/L GTP. Aliquots of this stock were stored at -70 °C until use. Tubulin stock solution (10 mg/mL) was prepared by dissolving the tubulin powder adding 1.1 mL of the mixture of assay buffer and GTP stock solution (100:1, v/v). Aliquots were frozen in liquid nitrogen, and then stored at -70 °C until use.
0327In the tubulin polymerization assay, reaction mixture was prepared by mixing 820 µL of assay buffer, 17.6 µL of GTP stock solution, and 600 µL of tubulin glycerol buffer. Reaction mixture (1015 µL) was combined with 240 µL of the tubulin stock solution. This solution was called as tubulin reaction mixture and used for the measurement of test and control wells. No tubulin reaction mixture was prepared by mixing 89.85 µL of reaction mixture and 21.25 µL of assay buffer for the measurement of blank wells. The Compound (1) solution (6.25-100 µmol/L; final concentrations 0.625-10 µmol/L), or vehicle was added at 5 µL to individual wells of a 96-well half-area microtiter plate. Tubulin reaction mixture or no tubulin reaction mixture was added at 45 µL to each well of the plate. Fluorescence emission at 460 nm (excitation wavelength at 360 nm) was measured every 2 minutes for 90 minutes using the SpectraMax<sup>®</sup> M5e microplate reader (Molecular Devices). Tubulin polymerization was followed by fluorescence enhancement due to the incorporation of a fluorescence reporter into microtubules as polymerization occurred. The assay was performed in duplicate. The assay demonstrated that Compound (1) inhibited tubulin polymerization in a concentration-dependent manner. The fluorescence intensity in each time point was calculated by the following formulas: <maths id="math0016"><math display="block"><mtable columnalign="left"><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>Fluorescence</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>intensity</mi></mrow><mo>=</mo><mrow><mi>mean</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>fluorescence</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>measurement</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>of</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>test</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>wells</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>or</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>control</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>wells</mi></mrow><mo>−</mo></mtd></mtr><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>mean</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>fluorescence</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>measurement</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>of</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>blank</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>wells;</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>blank</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>well:</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>with</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>vehicle</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>without</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>tubulin;</mi></mrow></mtd></mtr><mtr><mtd><mrow><mi>control</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>well:</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>with</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>vehicle</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>and</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>tubulin;</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>test</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>well:</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>with</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>compounds</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>and</mi><mspace width="1ex" /><mi>tubulin</mi></mrow><mi mathvariant="normal">.</mi></mtd></mtr></mtable></math><img file="EP4403560A2_D0133.tif" /></maths>
Pharmacological Test Example 15. Cell-based microtubule dynamics assay <i>(Figure 10B)</i>
0328A cell-based microtubule (MT) dynamics assay was conducted with the U2OS-EB3-AG osteosarcoma cell line, in which the fusion protein of EB3 (a microtubule plus end binding protein) and Azami-Green (EB3-AG) was stably expressed. U2OS-EB3-AG cells were culture in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS, and penicillin-streptomycin, at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO<sub>2</sub> atmosphere. The MT dynamics in the live cells can be visualized as the movement of the comet-like structure of EB3- AG. U2OS-EB3-AG cells plated on glass-base culture plates (EZVIEW plate, AGC Techno Glass, Japan) were treated with Compound (1) at the indicated concentration and the microtubule dynamics were monitored by time-lapse imaging using fluorescent microscope with 60-fold magnification oil- immersed objective lens (BZ-X710, KEYENCE, Japan). The still images at the indicated time points were presented in <figref idref="f0013"><i>Figure 10B</i></figref><i>.</i> Higher magnification views of the boxed areas were shown in inlets. When treated with Compound (1) at 0.5 nM (IC<sub>50</sub> value for antiproliferative activity in U2OS-EB3- AG cells), the comet-like structures became hard to observe at around 60 minutes after the addition of the compound. These results clearly demonstrated that Compound (1) had the ability to suppress the MT dynamics.
Pharmacological Test Example 16. <i>In vitro</i> antiproliferative activity (<i>Figure 11</i>)
0329The <i>in vitro</i> antiproliferative assays for Compound (1) were conducted using a small panel of cancer cell lines including human squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (OE21, TE-8), human adenosarcoma of the esophagus (OE33), and human uterine sarcoma (MES-SA, MES-SA-Dx5-Rx1). All cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS, and penicillin-streptomycin (culture medium), in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C). To each well of a 96 well plate (Becton, Dickinson and Company, 353219), 75 µL of cell suspension adjusted to a concentration of 4×10<sup>4</sup> cells/mL with the culture medium was added, and the cells were incubated overnight in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C). On the next day, 25 µL of Compound (1) in three-fold dilution series suspended in the culture medium was added to each well, and the resultant was incubated for 72 hours in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C). Then, cell viability was determined by CellTiter-Glo<sup>®</sup> Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega) with 2013 EnVision<sup>™</sup> Multilabel Reader (Perkin-Elmer, Wellesley, MA). Value of the wells containing cells without adding the test compounds was defined as 100% and the value of the wells containing no cells was defined as 0%. The concentration of Compound (1) necessary for inhibiting the cell growth by 50% (<i>i.e.,</i> an IC<sub>50</sub> value) was calculate, and is shown in <figref idref="f0014"><i>Figure 11</i></figref><i>.</i> The P-gp susceptibility was calculated as the ratio of the IC<sub>50</sub> value in MES-SA-Dx5-Rx1 cells, which overexpress P-gp, to the IC<sub>50</sub> value in MES-SA cells.

Pharmacological Test Example 25. Molecular mechanisms of the α-SMA-positive CAF reduction using an <i>in vitro</i> culture system
0352The expression of α-SMA was induced in BJ normal human fibroblasts upon cocultivation with FaDu cells, and the expression was attenuated by treatment with A83-01, a potent selective inhibitor of the TGF-β-receptor (<figref idref="f0021"><i>Figure 19A</i></figref>). These results suggested that TGF-β plays a major role as a mediator of α-SMA induction in this system. In addition, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that treatment with Compound (1) interfered with α-SMA induction by TGF-β in BJ cells without growth inhibitory activity (<figref idref="f0021"><i>Figure 19A</i></figref><i>,</i><figref idref="f0023"><i>Figure 20A</i></figref>)<i>.</i>
0353Compound (1) did not significantly change the TGF-β-induced phosphorylation and nuclear localization of Smad2/3 (<figref idref="f0024 f0025"><i>Figures 20D-20E</i></figref>)<i>,</i> but it did reduce the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, which plays essential roles in TGF-P-induced α-SMA expression (<figref idref="f0021"><i>Figures 19C</i></figref><i>and</i><figref idref="f0022"><i>19F</i></figref><i>,</i><figref idref="f0023 f0024"><i>Figures 20B-20C</i></figref>)<i>.</i> Moreover, TGF-β treatment enhanced β-tubulin expression and microtubule network formation, which were diminished by co-treatment with Compound (1) in BJ cells (<figref idref="f0021"><i>Figure 19D</i></figref>)<i>.</i> Under the same experimental conditions, the enhanced formation of focal adhesions, which were detected as punctate structures with an antibody against phosphorylated FAK at tyrosine-397, after stimulation with TGF-β was decreased in BJ cells by treatment with Compound (1) (<figref idref="f0021"><i>Figure 19E</i></figref>)<i>.</i> Many signalling complexes are assembled in focal adhesion sites, and those complexes dispatch several downstream signals, including those involved in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. See, <i>e.g.,</i><nplcit id="ncit0064" npl-type="s"><text>Sulzmaier et. al. "FAK in cancer: mechanistic findings and clinical applications", Nature Reviews Cancer 2014, 14, 598-610</text></nplcit>. In fact, treatment with defactinib, an FAK inhibitor, clearly decreased the level of α-SMA expression as well as S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation induced by TGF-β in BJ cells (<figref idref="f0022"><i>Figures 19G-19H</i></figref>)<i>.</i> All of the abovementioned phenomena were also observed in other normal human fibroblasts (TIG3 cells) (<figref idref="f0026 f0027 f0028"><i>Figures 21A-21H</i></figref>)<i>.</i>
Pharmacological Test Example 26. Bladder carcinoma cell lines growth inhibition assay

UM-UC-3 cells were maintained in an E-MEM (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, 051-07615) medium containing 10% FBS, 1 mM Sodium Pyruvate (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, 190-14881), and penicillin and streptomycin in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C). To each well of a 96 well plate (Corning, 3904), 90 µL of each cell suspension adjusted to a concentration of 5.55×10<sup>3</sup> cells/mL (RT4 or UM-UC-3) or 3.33×10<sup>4</sup> cells/mL (RT112/84) with the culture medium was added, and the cells were incubated overnight in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C). On the next day, 10 µL of Compound (1) in three-fold dilution series suspended in the culture medium was added to each well, and the resultant was incubated for 3 days in a 5% CO<sub>2</sub> incubator (37 °C).
