Provided herein are certain 4-aminoisoindoline-1,3-dione compounds, compositions comprising an effective amount of such compounds, and methods for treating or preventing Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), comprising administering an effective amount of such 4-aminoisoindoline-1,3-dione compounds to a subject in need thereof.

BACKGROUND

Cancer is characterized primarily by an increase in the number of abnormal cells derived from a given normal tissue, invasion of adjacent tissues by these abnormal cells, or lymphatic or blood-borne spread of malignant cells to regional lymph nodes and metastasis. Clinical data and molecular biologic studies indicate that cancer is a multistep process that begins with minor preneoplastic changes, which may under certain conditions progress to neoplasia. The neoplastic lesion may evolve clonally and develop an increasing capacity for invasion, growth, metastasis, and heterogeneity, especially under conditions in which the neoplastic cells escape the host's immune surveillance. Current cancer therapy may involve surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and/or radiation treatment to eradicate neoplastic cells in a patient. Recent advances in cancer therapeutics are discussed by Rajkumar et al. in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology 11, 628-630 (2014).

All of the current cancer therapy approaches pose significant drawbacks for the patient. Surgery, for example, may be contraindicated due to the health of a patient or may be unacceptable to the patient. Additionally, surgery may not completely remove neoplastic tissue. Radiation therapy is only effective when the neoplastic tissue exhibits a higher sensitivity to radiation than normal tissue. Radiation therapy can also often elicit serious side effects. Hormonal therapy is rarely given as a single agent. Although hormonal therapy can be effective, it is often used to prevent or delay recurrence of cancer after other treatments have removed the majority of cancer cells.

With respect to chemotherapy, there are a variety of chemotherapeutic agents available for treatment of cancer. A majority of cancer chemotherapeutics act by inhibiting DNA synthesis, either directly or indirectly by inhibiting the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate precursors, to prevent DNA replication and concomitant cell division. Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Tenth Ed. (McGraw Hill, New York).

Despite availability of a variety of chemotherapeutic agents, chemotherapy has many drawbacks. Stockdale, Medicine, vol. 3, Rubenstein and Federman, eds., ch. 12, sect. 10, 1998. Almost all chemotherapeutic agents are toxic, and chemotherapy causes significant, and often dangerous side effects including severe nausea, bone marrow depression, and immunosuppression. Additionally, even with administration of combinations of chemotherapeutic agents, many tumor cells are resistant or develop resistance to the chemotherapeutic agents. In fact, those cells resistant to the particular chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment protocol often prove to be resistant to other drugs, even if those agents act by different mechanism from those of the drugs used in the specific treatment. This phenomenon is referred to as pleiotropic drug or multidrug resistance. Because of the drug resistance, many cancers prove or become refractory to standard chemotherapeutic treatment protocols.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for approximately one-third of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). NHL is the fifth most common cancer for both men and women in the United States. An estimated 385,700 patients worldwide were diagnosed with NHL in 2012 and approximately 199,700 patients died as a result of the disease. (Torre, L. A. et al. Global cancer statistics, 2012; CA Cancer J. Clin. 65, 87-108 (2015)). DLBCL, the most common form of B-cell NHL, had an estimated 27,650 new cases in the USA in 2016, accounting for approximately 26% of all mature B-cell NHL neoplasms diagnosed. (Teras, L. R. et al. 2016 US lymphoid malignancy statistics by World Health Organization subtypes; CA Cancer J. Clin. 66, 443-459 (2016)). While some DLBCL patients are cured with traditional chemotherapy, the remainder die from the disease.

There remains a significant need for safe and effective methods of treating, preventing and managing DLBCL, particularly for DLBCL that is refractory to standard treatments, such as surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, while reducing or avoiding the toxicities and/or side effects associated with conventional therapies.

As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term “stereoisomer” or “stereomerically pure” means one stereoisomer of an Isoindolinedione Compound that is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound. For example, a stereomerically pure compound having one chiral center will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound having two chiral centers will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 20% by weight of other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 90% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 10% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, greater than about 95% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 5% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound, or greater than about 97% by weight of one stereoisomer of the compound and less than about 3% by weight of the other stereoisomers of the compound. The Isoindolinedione Compounds can have chiral centers and can occur as racemates, individual enantiomers or diastereomers, and mixtures thereof. All such isomeric forms are included within the embodiments disclosed herein, including mixtures thereof.

The use of stereomerically pure forms of such Isoindolinedione Compounds, as well as the use of mixtures of those forms, are encompassed by the embodiments disclosed herein. For example, mixtures comprising equal or unequal amounts of the enantiomers of a particular Isoindolinedione Compound may be used in methods and compositions disclosed herein. These isomers may be asymmetrically synthesized or resolved using standard techniques such as chiral columns or chiral resolving agents. See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E. L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N Y, 1962); Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L.

It should also be noted the Isoindolinedione Compounds can include E and Z isomers, or a mixture thereof, and cis and trans isomers or a mixture thereof. In certain embodiments, the Isoindolinedione Compounds are isolated as either the E or Z isomer. In other embodiments, the Isoindolinedione Compounds are a mixture of the E and Z isomers.

“Tautomers” refers to isomeric forms of a compound that are in equilibrium with each other. The concentrations of the isomeric forms will depend on the environment the compound is found in and may be different depending upon, for example, whether the compound is a solid or is in an organic or aqueous solution. For example, in aqueous solution, pyrazoles may exhibit the following isomeric forms, which are referred to as tautomers of each other:

As readily understood by one skilled in the art, a wide variety of functional groups and other structures may exhibit tautomerism and all tautomers of compounds of formula (I) are within the scope of the present invention.

It should also be noted the Isoindolinedione Compounds can contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I), sulfur-35 (³⁵S), or carbon-14 (¹⁴C), or may be isotopically enriched, such as with deuterium (²H), carbon-13 (¹³C), or nitrogen-15 (¹⁵N). As used herein, an “isotopologue” is an isotopically enriched compound. The term “isotopically enriched” refers to an atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. “Isotopically enriched” may also refer to a compound containing at least one atom having an isotopic composition other than the natural isotopic composition of that atom. The term “isotopic composition” refers to the amount of each isotope present for a given atom. Radiolabeled and isotopically enriched compounds are useful as therapeutic agents, e.g., cancer therapeutic agents, research reagents, e.g., binding assay reagents, and diagnostic agents, e.g., in vivo imaging agents. All isotopic variations of the Isoindolinedione Compounds as described herein, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the embodiments provided herein. In some embodiments, there are provided isotopologues of the Isoindolinedione Compounds, for example, the isotopologues are deuterium, carbon-13, and/or nitrogen-15 enriched Isoindolinedione Compounds. As used herein, “deuterated”, means a compound wherein at least one hydrogen (H) has been replaced by deuterium (indicated by D or 2H), that is, the compound is enriched in deuterium in at least one position.

It is understood that, independently of stereomerical or isotopic composition, each Isoindolinedione Compound referred to herein can be provided in the form of any of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts discussed herein. Equally, it is understood that the isotopic composition may vary independently from the stereomerical composition of each Isoindolinedione Compound referred to herein. Further, the isotopic composition, while being restricted to those elements present in the respective Isoindolinedione Compound or salt thereof, may otherwise vary independently from the selection of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the respective Isoindolinedione Compound.

It should be noted that if there is a discrepancy between a depicted structure and a name for that structure, the depicted structure is to be accorded more weight.

“Treating” as used herein, means an alleviation, in whole or in part, of a disorder, disease or condition, or one or more of the symptoms associated with a disorder, disease, or condition, or slowing or halting of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or alleviating or eradicating the cause(s) of the disorder, disease, or condition itself. In one embodiment, the disorder is DLBCL as described herein or a symptoms thereof.

“Preventing” as used herein, means a method of delaying and/or precluding the onset, recurrence or spread, in whole or in part, of a disorder, disease or condition; barring a subject from acquiring a disorder, disease, or condition; or reducing a subject's risk of acquiring a disorder, disease, or condition. In one embodiment, the disorder is DLBCL, as described herein, or symptoms thereof.

The term “effective amount” in connection with an Isoindolinedione Compound means an amount capable of treating or preventing a disorder, disease or condition, or symptoms thereof, disclosed herein.

The term “subject” includes an animal, including, but not limited to, an animal such a cow, monkey, horse, sheep, pig, chicken, turkey, quail, cat, dog, mouse, rat, rabbit or guinea pig, in one embodiment a mammal, in another embodiment a human.

METHODS FOR MAKING ISOINDOLINEDIONE COMPOUNDS

The Isoindolinedione Compounds can be made using conventional organic syntheses and commercially available starting materials. By way of example and not limitation, Isoindolinedione Compounds of formula (I) can be prepared as outlined in Schemes 1 and 2 shown below as well as in the examples set forth herein. It should be noted that one skilled in the art would know how to modify the procedures set forth in the illustrative schemes and examples to arrive at the desired products.

As shown in Scheme 1, compounds of formula (I), wherein Ring A, n and R are as defined herein, can be prepared starting with reductive amination of an appropriately derivatized and protected 4-hydroxymethylbenzaldehyde (wherein Po is a hydroxyl protecting group), with 3-aminophthalic acid (wherein R′ is H) or dialkyl-3-aminophthalate (wherein R′ is C_1-2alkyl), using a reductive amination agent, such as BH₃.2-methylpyridine, B₁₀H₁₄, or NaBH(OAc)₃, in a solvent, such as MeOH, dioxane, DCM, 1,2-dichloroethane, CH₃CN, THF or mixtures thereof, in the presence of an acid, such as acetic acid or TFA, optionally at a temperature between about 0 and 25° C. In a first approach, when R′ is H, the intermediate is subjected to cyclo-dehydration, by treatment with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione and a base, such as pyridine, at elevated temperature, for example, at about 120° C. Subsequently, the hydroxyl protecting group is removed, for example, when Po is a silyl ether, Po can be removed by treatment with an acid, such as H₂SO₄or HCl, or a reagent such as TBAF, in a solvent, such as THF or aqueous THF. In a second approach, the protecting groups are removed (for example, when R′ is C_1-2alkyl, the carboxylates are deprotected, for example by saponification with a base, such as NaOH, in a solvent, such as aqueous THE, and the protecting group Po, such as a silyl ether, is simultaneously removed), followed by cyclo-dehydration as described above. Subsequently a leaving group LG is introduced into the resulting intermediate (wherein LG is OMs, OTs, or a halogen such as Cl or Br), for example when LG is Cl, by reaction with CH₃SO₂Cl, SOCl₂or Ph₃P—CCl₄, or when LG is Br, by reaction with SOBr₂, Ph₃P—Br₂, or PBr₃, or when LG is OMs, by reaction with CH₃SO₂Cl or methanesulfonic anhydride, or when LG is OTs, by reaction with TsCl, in a solvent, such as DCM, ether or toluene, at a temperature between about 0 and 25° C. Displacement of the leaving group LG with Ring A, as defined herein, in the presence of a base, such as DIEA, TEA, Na₂CO₃, K₂CO₃, or Cs₂CO₃, in a solvent, such as DMSO, DMF, DMA, NMP, or CH₃CN, at a temperature between about 25 and 80° C., provides the target molecules of formula (I).

An alternative route to compounds of formula (I) is shown in Scheme 2. 4-Nitroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione is treated with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione, in the presence of an acid, such as acetic acid, at elevated temperature, for example 130° C. Reduction of the nitro group is achieved by treatment with a reducing agent, for example, hydrogen gas, in the presence of a catalyst, for example Pd/C, Ni or Pt, or Fe or Zn in the presence of HCl, acetic acid, or NH₄Cl, or SnCl₂, in a solvent, for example, DMA, EtOH, water, EtOAc, DMF or EtOAc/DMF mixtures. The amine containing intermediate is subjected to reductive amination by reaction with an appropriately derivatized 4-hydroxymethylbenzaldehyde, in the presence of a reducing agent, for example, B₁₀H₁₄, in a solvent, such as MeOH or dioxane or mixtures thereof, at a temperature between about 0 and 25° C. As before, a leaving group LG is then introduced in the intermediate (LG is OMs, OTs, Cl or Br), for example when LG is Cl, by reaction with CH₃SO₂Cl, SOCl₂or Ph₃P—CCl₄, or when LG is Br, by reaction with SOBr₂, Ph₃P—Br₂, or PBr₃, or when LG is OMs, by reaction with CH₃SO₂Cl or methanesulfonic anhydride, or when LG is OTs, by reaction with TsCl, in a solvent, such as dichloromethane, ether or toluene, at a temperature between about 0 and 25° C. As in Scheme 1, displacement of the leaving group LG with a heterocycle Ring A in the presence of a base, such as DIEA, TEA, Na₂CO₃, K₂CO₃, Cs₂CO₃, in a solvent, such as DMSO, DMF, DMA, NMP, or CH₃CN, at a temperature between about 25 and 80° C., provides the target molecules of formula (I).

The term “protected” with respect to hydroxyl groups, refers to forms of these functionalities which are protected from undesirable reaction with a protecting group known to those skilled in the art, such as those set forth in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M., John Wiley & Sons, New York, N. Y., (5^thEdition, 2014), which can be added or removed using the procedures set forth therein. Examples of protected hydroxyl groups include, but are not limited to, silyl ethers such as those obtained by reaction of a hydroxyl group with a reagent such as, but not limited to, t-butyldiphenylchlorosilane, t-butyldimethyl-chlorosilane, trimethylchlorosilane, triisopropylchlorosilane, triethylchlorosilane; substituted methyl and ethyl ethers such as, but not limited to methoxymethyl ether, methythiomethyl ether, benzyloxymethyl ether, t-butoxymethyl ether, 2-methoxyethoxymethyl ether, tetrahydropyranyl ethers, 1-ethoxyethyl ether, allyl ether, benzyl ether; esters such as, but not limited to, benzoylformate, formate, acetate, trichloroacetate, and trifluoracetate.

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND ROUTES OF ADMINISTRATION

The Isoindolinedione Compounds can be administered to a subject orally, topically or parenterally in the conventional form of preparations, such as capsules, microcapsules, tablets, granules, powder, troches, pills, suppositories, injections, suspensions, syrups, patches, creams, lotions, ointments, gels, sprays, solutions and emulsions. Suitable formulations can be prepared by methods commonly employed using conventional, organic or inorganic additives, such as an excipient (e.g., sucrose, starch, mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, glucose, cellulose, talc, calcium phosphate or calcium carbonate), a binder (e.g., cellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, polypropylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, gum arabic, polyethyleneglycol, sucrose or starch), a disintegrator (e.g., starch, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylstarch, low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, sodium bicarbonate, calcium phosphate or calcium citrate), a lubricant (e.g., magnesium stearate, light anhydrous silicic acid, talc or sodium lauryl sulfate), a flavoring agent (e.g., citric acid, menthol, glycine or orange powder), a preservative (e.g, sodium benzoate, sodium bisulfite, methylparaben or propylparaben), a stabilizer (e.g., citric acid, sodium citrate or acetic acid), a suspending agent (e.g., methylcellulose, polyvinyl pyrroliclone or aluminum stearate), a dispersing agent (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), a diluent (e.g., water), and base wax (e.g., cocoa butter, white petrolatum or polyethylene glycol). The effective amount of the Isoindolinedione Compounds in the pharmaceutical composition may be at a level that will exercise the desired effect; for example, about 0.005 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 10 mg/kg of a subject's body weight in unit dosage for both oral and parenteral administration.

The dose of an Isoindolinedione Compound to be administered to a subject is rather widely variable and can be subject to the judgment of a health-care practitioner. In general, the Isoindolinedione Compounds can be administered one to four times a day in a dose of about 0.001 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 10 mg/kg of a subject's body weight, but the above dosage may be properly varied depending on the age, body weight and medical condition of the subject and the type of administration. In one embodiment, the dose is about 0.001 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 5 mg/kg of a subject's body weight, about 0.01 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 5 mg/kg of a subject's body weight, about 0.05 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 1 mg/kg of a subject's body weight, about 0.1 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 0.75 mg/kg of a subject's body weight or about 0.25 mg/kg of a subject's body weight to about 0.5 mg/kg of a subject's body weight. In one embodiment, one dose is given per day. In any given case, the amount of the Isoindolinedione Compound administered will depend on such factors as the solubility of the active component, the formulation used and the route of administration.

In another embodiment, provided herein are methods for the treatment or prevention of a disease or disorder comprising the administration of about 0.01 mg/day to about 750 mg/day, about 0.1 mg/day to about 375 mg/day, about 0.1 mg/day to about 150 mg/day, about 0.1 mg/day to about 75 mg/day, about 0.1 mg/day to about 50 mg/day, about 0.1 mg/day to about 25 mg/day, or about 0.1 mg/day to about 10 mg/day of an Isoindolinedione Compound to a subject in need thereof.

In another embodiment, provided herein are unit dosage formulations that comprise between about 0.1 mg and 500 mg, about 1 mg and 250 mg, about 1 mg and about 100 mg, about 1 mg and about 50 mg, about 1 mg and about 25 mg, or between about 1 mg and about 10 mg of an Isoindolinedione Compound.

In a particular embodiment, provided herein are unit dosage formulations comprising about 0.1 mg or 100 mg of an Isoindolinedione Compound.

In another embodiment, provided herein are unit dosage formulations that comprise 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 35 mg, 50 mg, 70 mg, 100 mg, 125 mg, 140 mg, 175 mg, 200 mg, 250 mg, 280 mg, 350 mg, 500 mg, 560 mg, 700 mg, 750 mg, 1000 mg or 1400 mg of an Isoindolinedione Compound.

An Isoindolinedione Compound can be administered once, twice, three, four or more times daily. In a particular embodiment, doses of 100 mg or less are administered as a once daily dose and doses of more than 100 mg are administered twice daily in an amount equal to one half of the total daily dose.

An Isoindolinedione Compound can be administered orally for reasons of convenience. In one embodiment, when administered orally, an Isoindolinedione Compound is administered with a meal and water. In another embodiment, the Isoindolinedione Compound is dispersed in a liquid, such as water or juice (e.g., apple juice or orange juice) and administered orally as a solution or a suspension.

The Isoindolinedione Compound can also be administered intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, percutaneously, intravenously, subcutaneously, intranasally, epidurally, sublingually, intracerebrally, intravaginally, transdermally, rectally, mucosally, by inhalation, or topically to the ears, nose, eyes, or skin. The mode of administration is left to the discretion of the health-care practitioner, and can depend in-part upon the site of the medical condition.

In one embodiment, provided herein are capsules containing an Isoindolinedione Compound without an additional carrier, excipient or vehicle.

In another embodiment, provided herein are compositions comprising an effective amount of an Isoindolinedione Compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle, wherein a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or vehicle can comprise an excipient, diluent, or a mixture thereof. In one embodiment, the composition is a pharmaceutical composition.

The compositions can be in the form of tablets, chewable tablets, capsules, solutions, parenteral solutions, troches, suppositories and suspensions and the like. Compositions can be formulated to contain a daily dose, or a convenient fraction of a daily dose, in a dosage unit, which may be a single tablet or capsule or convenient volume of a liquid. In one embodiment, the solutions are prepared from water-soluble salts, such as the hydrochloride salt. In general, all of the compositions are prepared according to known methods in pharmaceutical chemistry. Capsules can be prepared by mixing an Isoindolinedione Compound with a suitable carrier or diluent and filling the proper amount of the mixture in capsules. The usual carriers and diluents include, but are not limited to, inert powdered substances such as starch of many different kinds, powdered cellulose, especially crystalline and microcrystalline cellulose, sugars such as fructose, mannitol and sucrose, grain flours and similar edible powders.

Tablets can be prepared by direct compression, by wet granulation, or by dry granulation. Their formulations usually incorporate diluents, binders, lubricants and disintegrators as well as the compound. Typical diluents include, for example, various types of starch, lactose, mannitol, kaolin, calcium phosphate or sulfate, inorganic salts such as sodium chloride and powdered sugar. Powdered cellulose derivatives are also useful. Typical tablet binders are substances such as starch, gelatin and sugars such as lactose, fructose, glucose and the like. Natural and synthetic gums are also convenient, including acacia, alginates, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidine and the like. Polyethylene glycol, ethylcellulose and waxes can also serve as binders.

A lubricant might be necessary in a tablet formulation to prevent the tablet and punches from sticking in the dye. The lubricant can be chosen from such slippery solids as talc, magnesium and calcium stearate, stearic acid and hydrogenated vegetable oils. Tablet disintegrators are substances that swell when wetted to break up the tablet and release the compound. They include starches, clays, celluloses, algins and gums. More particularly, corn and potato starches, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, wood cellulose, powdered natural sponge, cation-exchange resins, alginic acid, guar gum, citrus pulp and carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, can be used as well as sodium lauryl sulfate. Tablets can be coated with sugar as a flavor and sealant, or with film-forming protecting agents to modify the dissolution properties of the tablet. The compositions can also be formulated as chewable tablets, for example, by using substances such as mannitol in the formulation.

When it is desired to administer an Isoindolinedione Compound as a suppository, typical bases can be used. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, which can be modified by addition of waxes to raise its melting point slightly. Water-miscible suppository bases comprising, particularly, polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights are in wide use.

The effect of the Isoindolinedione Compound can be delayed or prolonged by proper formulation. For example, a slowly soluble pellet of the Isoindolinedione Compound can be prepared and incorporated in a tablet or capsule, or as a slow-release implantable device. The technique also includes making pellets of several different dissolution rates and filling capsules with a mixture of the pellets. Tablets or capsules can be coated with a film that resists dissolution for a predictable period of time. Even the parenteral preparations can be made long-acting, by dissolving or suspending the Isoindolinedione Compound in oily or emulsified vehicles that allow it to disperse slowly in the serum.

ASSAYS
Cell Based Assays

SU-DHL-4 Cell Proliferation Assay. The following is an example of an assay that can be used to determine the anti-proliferative activity of Isoindolinedione Compounds in a DLBCL cell line, for example, the SU-DHL-4 cell line (Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH [DSMZ]: catalogue number ACC-495) at 120 hours post-treatment. The seeding density for SU-DHL-4 can be optimized to ensure assay linearity in 1536-well plates.

Increasing concentrations of test compounds (0.5 nM to 10 μM) were spotted in a 20-point dilution fashion (unevenly spaced data points) via an acoustic dispenser (EDC ATS-100) into an empty 1536-well plate. The DMSO concentration was kept constant for a final assay concentration of 0.1% DMSO. Prior to testing, SU-DHL-4 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 (Roswell Park Memorial Institute—1640) medium with 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum: HyClone) and expanded in culture flasks to provide sufficient amounts of starting material. Cells were then diluted to 500 cells per well in a 5 μL volume, and added directly to the compound-spotted 1536-well plates. Cells were allowed to grow for 120 hours in 5% CO₂at 37° C. At the time when exposure of cells to compound began (to), initial viable cell number was assessed via Cell Titer-Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay at a 1 vol: 2 vol ratio according to manufacturer's instructions (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) by quantifying the level of luminescence generated by adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) present in viable cells. After 120 hours, cell viability of the treated cells was assessed via Cell Titer-Glo® and read for luminescence. All growth inhibition curves were processed and evaluated using Activity Base (IDBS, Alameda, CA). Cell viability IC₅₀values were calculated using a four parameter logistic model (sigmoidal dose-response model):

In Vivo Assays

WSU-DLCL2 (GCB-Subtype) Triple-Hit (Myc, Bcl2, Bcl6 rearrangement) DLBCL Xenograft Model. WSU-DLCL2 cells are derived from a diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Female SCID mice (Fox Chase SCID®, CB17/Icr-Prkdcscid, Charles River), characterized by severe combined T and B cell immunodeficiency, are 10 weeks old, with body weights ranging from 15.4 to 24.2 g, on day 1 of the study. Female CB17 SCID mice are inoculated with 10×10⁶WSU-DLCL2 cells subcutaneously into the flank. Mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=9/group) at the time of treatment initiation and treatments start on day 18 when the tumors are approximately 350 mm³. Test compound (at four dose levels) is administered once daily (QD). MCT (0.5% Methyl Cellulose, 0.25% Tween 80 and 50 mM Citrate pH in PBS) administered QD is used as vehicle control. A single cycle of CHOP therapy (combination of cyclophosphamide—single dose on day 1, doxorubicin—single dose on day 1, vincristine-single dose on day 1 and prednisone—QDx5 on days 1-5) which causes significant body weight loss is used as positive control. The 2 endpoints in this study include tumor volume reduction (TVR) and time to progression (TTP). The TVR is determined at the time of the termination of the vehicle group that reaches the predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³. Tumor free animals are defined as animals with no palpable tumors or tumors with <50 mm³. The 30 mg/kg, QD-treatment group is followed for TTP to determine the tumor growth delay (TGD), which is defined as the difference in days for treated versus control tumors to reach a specified volume of 1000 mm³. Multiple dosing schedules can be tested. The final tumor volume reduction is determined at the time of the termination of the study when the mean tumor volumes in the vehicle group reach a predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³.

SU-DHL-6 (GCB sub-type) Double Hit DLBCL Xenograft Model. SU-DHL-6 cells are derived from a diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma. SU-DHL-6 cell line is a GCB type “double hit” (Myc in combination with Bcl2 rearrangement) DLBCL. Female SCID mice (Fox Chase SCID®, CB17/Icr-Prkdcscid, Charles River), characterized by severe combined T and B cell immunodeficiency, are 10 weeks old, with body weights ranging from 15.4 to 24.2 g, on day 1 of this study. Female CB17 SCID mice are inoculated with 10×10⁶SU-DHL-6 cells subcutaneously into the flank. Mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=7/group) at the time of treatment initiation and treatments are started on day 28 when the tumors are approximately 170 mm³. Three week oral dosing is completed on day 49. The final tumor volume reduction is determined at the time of the termination of the study when the mean tumor volumes in vehicle group reach a predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³. MCT (0.5% Methyl Cellulose, 0.25% Tween 80 and 50 mM Citrate pH in PBS) administered QD is used as vehicle control. A single cycle of R-CHOP therapy (combination of rituximab-single dose on day 1, cyclophosphamide-single dose on day 1, doxorubicin-single dose on day 1, vincristine-single dose on day 1 and prednisone—QDx5 on days 1-5) which causes significant body weight loss is used as positive control. Endpoint of this study includes tumor volume reduction (TVR). The TVR is determined at the time of the termination of the vehicle group that reaches the predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³. Tumor free animals are defined as animals with no palpable tumors or tumors with <50 mm³.

OCI-LY10 (ABC sub-type) DLBCL Xenograft Model. OCI-LY10 cells are derived from a diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Female SCID mice (Fox Chase SCID®, CB17/Icr-Prkdcscid, Charles River), characterized by severe combined T and B cell immunodeficiency, are 10 weeks old, with body weights ranging from 15.4 to 24.2 g, on day 1 of this study. Female CB17 SCID mice are inoculated with 10×10⁶OCI-LY10 cells subcutaneously into the flank. Mice are randomized into treatment groups (n=9/group) at the time of treatment initiation and treatments are started on day 9 when the tumors are approximately 100 mm³. The final tumor volume reduction is determined at the time of the termination of the study when the mean tumor volumes in vehicle group reach a predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³. Rituximab (at one dose level dosed biweekly injected intraperitoneally) was used as positive control. Endpoint of this study includes tumor volume reduction (TVR). The TVR was determined at the time of the termination of the vehicle group that reaches the predetermined endpoint of approximately 1400 mm³. Tumor free animals are defined as animals with no palpable tumors or tumors with <50 mm³.

Cell lines that can be used in the xenograft assays described herein include GCB DLBCL cell lines (for example, Karpas-422, WSU-DLBCL2, SU-DHL-1, SU-DHL-4, SU-DHL-5, SU-DHL-6, SU-DHL-8, SU-DHL-10, HT, Farage, Pfeifer, or OCI-Ly7), ABC DLBCL cell lines (for example, OCI-Ly10, U2932, OCI-Ly3, or RC-K8), or DHIT (double hit, i.e. cMyc and Bcl-2 mutant) or THIT (triple hit, i.e. Myc, Bcl2, Bcl6 rearrangement) cell lines.

Isoindolinedione Compounds have been, or will be tested in the DLBCL xenograft models and have shown, or will be shown, to be effective as treatments of DLBCL in the models.
