Fruquintinib, also known as HMPL-013, is an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), with potential anti-angiogenic and antineoplastic activities.
HMPL-013, a novel small molecule compound that selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), is in phase III clinical studies at Hutchison MediPharma for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. Phase II clinical trials are also ongoing for the treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
Early clinical development is under way at the company for the treatment of gastric cancer in combination with paclitaxel.
Fruquintinib’s mechanism of action is the inhibition of all three forms of VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1, 2, 3). Competitive advantages over currently marketed therapies are the compound’s unique kinase profile, a highly potent efficacy and excellent kinase selectivity, large safety margin, a broad spectrum antitumor activity and a low cost of goods.
Upon oral administration, fruquintinib inhibits VEGF-induced phosphorylation of VEGFRs 1, 2, and 3 which may result in the inhibition of migration, proliferation and survival of endothelial cells, microvessel formation, the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, and tumor cell death. Expression of VEGFRs may be upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types.
In 2013, the company entered into a licensing, co-development, and commercialization agreement in China with Eli Lilly.
Angiogenesis is a physiological process of growing new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels. It takes place in a healthy subject to heal wounds, i.e., restoring blood flow to tissues after injury or insult.
Excessive angiogenesis may be triggered by certain pathological conditions such as cancer, age-related macular degeneration, and chronic inflammatory disease. As a result, new blood vessels feed diseased tissues and destroy normal tissues. In cancer, new blood vessels also allow tumor cells to escape into the circulation and lodge in other organs.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a homodimeric glycoprotein, and its receptors, e.g., kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), constitute an important angiogenic pathway. Studies have shown that inhibition of KDR resulted in endothelial cell apoptosis and, thus, suppression of angiogenesis. See Rubin M. Tuder, Chest, 2000; 117: 281. KDR inhibitors are therefore potential candidates for treating an angiogenesis-related disorder.
Chi-Med Says Fruquintinib Successful in Lung Cancer Trial
Written by Richard Daverman, PhD, Executive Editor, Greg B. Scott.
Hutchison MediPharma, a division of Chi-Med reported that fruquintinib met its primary endpoint in a second proof-of-concept China trial, this time as a treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The company said fruquintinib “clearly” met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival, though specific data are being held for a scientific meeting. In 2013, Hutchison out-licensed China rights for the drug to Lilly. In May, the first proof-of-concept trial triggered two payments from Lilly to HMP totaling $18 million.

Endocyte innovator
Vintafolide is an investigational targeted cancer therapeutic currently under development by Endocyte and Merck & Co.[1] It is a small molecule drug conjugate consisting of a small molecule targeting the folate receptor, which is overexpressed on certain cancers, such as ovarian cancer, and a potent chemotherapy drug, vinblastine.[2] It is being developed with a companion imaging agent, etarfolatide, that identifies patients that express the folate receptor and thus would likely respond to the treatment with vintafolide.[3] A Phase 3 study evaluating vintafolide for the treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROCEED trial) and a Phase 2b study(TARGET trial) in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) are ongoing.[4] Vintafolide is designed to deliver the toxic vinblastine drug selectively to cells expressing the folate receptor using folate targeting.[5]
A Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) filing for vintafolide and etarfolatide for the treatment of patients withfolate receptor-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in combination with doxorubicin, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), has been accepted by the European Medicines Agency.[6] The drug received an orphan drug status in Europe in March 2012.[1] Merck & Co. acquired the development and marketing rights to this experimental cancer drug from Endocyte in April 2012.[1] The drug received orphan drug status in Europe in March 2012.[3]Endocyte remains responsible for the development and commercialization of etarfolatide, a non-invasive companion imaging agent used to identify patients expressing the folate receptor that will likely respond to treatment with vintafolide.[4] Vintafolide is designed to deliver the toxic vinblastine drug selectively to cells expressing the folate receptor using folate targeting.[5]
In 2014 Merck and Endocyte stopped a late-stage study of vintafolide in treating ovarian cancer on the recommendation of a data safety monitoring board, saying that the drug failed to improve progression-free survival.[7]
Vintafolide is folate-conjugated with DAVBLH, which is a derivative of the vinca alkaloid vinblastine.Vinblastine is a microtubule-destabilizing agent that binds tubulin and causes M phase-specific cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of mitotically active cells. Vinblastine is an extremely potent chemotherapeutic agent but has significant toxicities including bone marrow suppression, neurotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity and vesicant injury.
Endocyte’s desacetylvinblastinehydrazide/folate conjugate (EC-145) is a folate-targeted cytotoxic anticancer drug in early development for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer. The compound had been pre-registered in the E.U. by Merck for the treatment of ovarian cancer, but the application was withdrawn due to lack of efficacy.
In 2012, the product was licensed to Merck & Co. by Endocyte for worldwide exclusive development and commercialization. In 2014, however, this license agreement was terminated and Endocyte regained all rights.
Folates can serve as one-carbon donors in reactions that are critical in the de novo biosynthesis of purines and thymidylate, amino acid metabolism and methylation reactions. Folate can enter a cell by two routes: RFC or by membrane-bound FRs. RFC is a bidirectional anion transporter that is the normal entry method for reduced folates in most cells. By contrast, FRs are expressed in a limited distribution in normal tissues but are overexpressed in multiple cancers including ovarian, lung, breast and colorectal cancer. FRs bind folate derivatives with high affinity and mediate their internalization by endocytosis. Given that FRs are not typically expressed on the luminal surface of epithelial cells, making them inaccessible to normal circulation, they are attractive therapeutic targets with limited toxicity. In addition to the therapeutic agent vintafolide, a radiodiagnostic agent (99mTc-etarfolatide [EC20]) has been developed to allow single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging to identify FR-expressing tissues (tumors).
In 2012, orphan drug designations were assigned in the E.U. for the treatment of ovarian cancer and to be used with folic acid for the diagnosis of positive folate-receptor status in ovarian cancer. In 2013, orphan drug designation was assigned in the U.S. for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
Vintafolide is a water-soluble derivative of folic acid and the vinca alkaloid DAVLBH. The molecules are connected through a hydrophilic L-peptide spacer and a disulfide linker (Figure 1). The disulfide linker serves as a cleavable bond that is necessary for drug release following receptor mediated endocytosis. The disulfide bond is reduced in the acidic environment of the endosome, leading to efficient release of vinblastine.

Mechanism of action
Folate is required for cell division, and rapidly dividing cancer cells often express folate receptors in order to capture enough folate to support rapid cell growth. Elevated expression of the folate receptor occurs in many diseases, including other aggressively growing cancers and inflammatory disorders.[8] Vintafolide binds to the folate receptor and is subsequently taken up by the cell through a natural internalization process called endocytosis. Once inside the cell, vintafolide’s linker releases the chemotherapy drug which kills the cell.[3]

An efficient synthesis of the folate receptor (FR) targeting conjugate EC145 is described. EC145 is a water soluble derivative of the vitamin folic acid and the potent cytotoxic agent, desacetylvinblastine monohydrazide. Both molecules are connected in regioselective manner via a hydrophilic peptide spacer and a reductively labile disulfide linker.

………approach for the design and regioselective synthesis of a FA-vinca alkaloid conjugate 1 (EC145,BELOW). As indicated in the retrosynthetic scheme, 1 can be assembled by tethering a FA-Spacer unit 2 to the highly potent cytotoxic molecule, desacetylvinblastine monohydrazide 3, via a linker containing a reducible disulfide bond. The latter is important for drug delivery applications since real-time imaging using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer technique has recently demonstrated that reduction-mediated release of the drug cargo from a disulfide linked FA-conjugate efficiently occurs within the endosomes of cancer cells.

Folate-targeted drugs have been developed and are being tested in clinical trials as cancer therapeutics. EC145, also known as vintafolide, comprises a highly potent vinca alkaloid cytotoxic compound, desacetylvinblastine hydrazide (DAVLBH), conjugated to folate. The EC 145 molecule targets the folate receptor found at high levels on the surface of epithelial tumors, including non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC), ovarian, endometrial and renal cancers, and others, including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinomas. It is believed that EC 145 binds to tumors that express the folate receptor delivering the vinca moiety directly to cancer cells while avoiding normal tissue. Thus, upon binding, EC 145 enters the cancer cell via endocytosis, releases DAVLBH and causes cell death or inhibits cell function. EC 145 has the following formula
EC145
and has been accorded the Chemical Abstracts Registry Number 742092-03-1. As used herein, according to the context, the term EC 145 means the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and the compound may be present in a solid, solution or suspension in an ionized form, including a protonated form.

preparing a compound represented by the following formula 1 by reacting the compound of formula 11 with TFA (step 9):
The retrosynthetic analysis of MLN4924 (1), as the final desired nucleoside, is shown in the following.
MLN 4924 (1) can be synthesized by condensing cyclic sulfate 3 as the glycosyl donor with a purine base. The glycosyl donor 3 can be produced from diol 4, which in turn can be obtained from cyclopentanone 5 via a stereoselective reduction and a regioselective cleavage of the isopropylidene moiety. The cyclopentanone 5 can be synthesized from cyclopentenone 6 by stereoselective reduction. The intermediate cyclopentenone 6 can be easily derived from D-ribose according to our previously published procedure (Jeong, L. S. et al., J. Org. Chem. 2004, 69, 2634-2636).
The synthetic route for the glycosyl donor 3 is shown in the following scheme 1.

ASLAN Pharmaceuticals, a Singapore-based drugmaker, announced The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave an orphan drug designation on August 13 to its pan-HER inhibitor ASLAN001 (varlitinib), a drug candidate created to treat a destructive form of bile duct cancer called cholangiocarcinoma that has no known cure. ………http://www.dddmag.com/news/2015/08/aslan-pharmaceuticals-gains-orphan-designation-rare-cancer-drug
Current developer: Array Biopharma Inc,

Varlitinib, also known as ARRY-543 and ASLAN001, is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the epidermal growth factor receptor family with potential antineoplastic activity.
Varlitinib (ASLAN-001) is an oncolytic drug in phase II clinical trials at ASLAN Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of gastric cancer and for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in combination with capecitabine. Clinical development is also ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors in combination with cisplatin/FU and cisplatin/capecitabine. The product had been in phase I/II clinical trials at Array BioPharma for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Phase II clinical trials had also been ongoing for the treatment of solid tumors. No recent development has been reported for this research
Varlitinib selectively and reversibly binds to both EGFR (ErbB-1) and Her-2/neu (ErbB-2) and prevents their phosphorylation and activation, which may result in inhibition of the associated signal transduction pathways, inhibition of cellular proliferation and cell death. EGFR and Her-2 play important roles in cell proliferation and differentiation and are upregulated in various human tumor cell types. Due to the dual inhibition of both EGFR and Her-2, this agent may be therapeutically more effective than agents that inhibit EGFR or Her-2 alone.
The drug is a dual inhibitor of the ErB-2 and EGFR receptor kinases, both of which have been shown to stimulate aberrant growth, prolong survival and promote differentiation of many tumor types. The compound behaves as a reversible ATP-competitive inhibitor with nanomolar potency both in vitro and in cell-based proliferation assays.
In 2011, the compound was licensed to Aslan Pharmaceuticals by Array BioPharma worldwide for the treatment of solid tumors, initially targeting patients with gastric cancer through a development program conducted in Asia.
In 2015, orphan drug designation was assigned to the compound in the U.S. for the treatment of cholangiocarcinoma.

A novel type of quinazoline derivatives, which were designed by the combination of quinazoline as the backbone and oxazole scaffold as the substituent, have been synthesized and their biological activities were evaluated for anti-proliferative activities and EGFR inhibitory potency. Compound 12b demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50=0.95 µmol/L for EGFR), which could be optimized as a potential EGFR inhibitor in the further study. The structures of the synthesized quinazoline analogs and all intermediates were comfirmed by 1H and 13C NMR, 2D NMR spectra, IR spectra and MS spectra.

AXITINIB

Axitinib (AG013736; trade name Inlyta) is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed by Pfizer. It has been shown to significantly inhibit growth of breast cancer in animal (xenograft) models[2] and has shown partial responses in clinical trials with renal cell carcinoma (RCC)[3] and several other tumour types.[4] It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after showing a modest increase in progression-free survival,[5] though there have been reports of fatal adverse effects.[6]
Axitinib, a small-molecule indazole derivative chemically known as (E)-N-methyl-2-(3-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)-vinyl)-1H-indazol-6-ylthio)benzamide developed by Pfizer, was approved in January 2012 by the U.S. FDA with the trade name Inlyta. It selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptors for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma
On January 27, 2012, axitinib was approved with the trade name INLYTA for treatment of patients in the United States with advanced renal cell carcinoma after failure of one prior systemic therapy.
It has received FDA (27 January 2012), EMA (13 September 2012), MHRA (3 September 2012) and TGA (26 July 2012) approval for use as a treatment for renal cell carcinoma.[11][12][13][14]
A study published in 2015[15] showed that axitinib effectively inhibits a mutated gene (BCR-ABL1[T315I]) that is common in chronic myeloid leukemias and adult acute lymphoblastic leukemias which have become resistant to other tyrosine kinase inhibitors likeimatinib. This is one of the first examples of a new indication for an existing drug being discovered by screening known drugs using a patient’s own cells.
The discovery and development of an efficient synthesis route to axinitib is reported. The first-generation route researched by Pfizer implemented two Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions as key steps. In this work, the development of Heck-type and C–S coupling reactions catalyzed by CuI is briefly described, using an economial and practical protocol. Aspects of this route, such as selecting optimal ligands, solvent, and other conditions, are discussed in detail. The scale-up experiment was carried out to provide more than 300 g of active pharmaceutical ingredients of axitinib in Form XLI with 99.9% purity in 39% yield. In short, we provide a new choice of synthesis route to axitinib, through two copper-catalyzed coupling reactions with good yield.

The manufacturing process of axitinib (1) involves two Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions, a Migita coupling and a Heck reaction. Optimization of both of these pivotal bond-formation steps is discussed as well as the approach to control impurities in axitinib. Essential to the control strategy was the optimization of the Heck reaction to minimize formation of impurities, in addition to the development of an efficient isolation of crude axitinib to purge impurities.

Honokiol, from magnolia bark, shuts down cancer cells in lab

Magnolias are prized for their large, colorful, fragrant flowers. Does the attractive, showy tree also harbor a potent cancer fighter?
Yes, according to a growing number of studies, including one from VA and the University of Alabama at Birmingham that is now online in the journal Oncotarget.
The study focused on squamous cell head and neck cancers, a scourge among those who use tobacco and alcohol. According to the National Cancer Institute, at least 3 in 4 head and neck cancers are caused by the use of tobacco and alcohol. The cancers have only a 50 percent survival rate, killing some 20,000 Americans each year.
Enter honokiol–chemical formula C18H18O2. As one of the major active compounds in magnolia extract, the phytochemical has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine to treat anxiety and other conditions. More recently, scientists have been discovering that the compound, found in magnolia bark, is a wily and versatile adversary of cancer. It seems to exploit many biochemical pathways to shrink tumors of various types, or to keep them from growing in the first place.

The Alabama scientists have now shown how it works against head and neck cancers: It blocks a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR. Prior research has found that almost all head and neck cancer cells display an over-abundance of the protein, and it had been suggested in the literature as a potential target.
The VA-UAB team says, based on its lab studies, that honokiol binds more strongly with EGFR than does the drug gefitinib (sold as Iressa), which is commonly used to treat head and neck cancers.
The researchers tested honokiol on cell lines derived from human cancers of the oral cavity, larynx, tongue, and pharynx. In all cases, the botanical shut down the aberrant cells. The team also tested it against tumors implanted into mice, with similar results.

Senior author Dr. Santosh K. Katiyar and his colleagues wrote, “Conclusively, honokiol appears to be an attractive bioactive small molecule phytochemical for the management of head and neck cancer which can be used either alone or in combination with other available therapeutic drugs.”
Katiyar has published extensively in the past on other natural substances that work against tumors, especially skin cancer. Some of his recent work has focused on compounds in green tea, for example, and grape seed proanthocyanidins.
Purification
There are several methods for purifying and isolating honokiol. In nature, honokiol exists with its structural isomer magnolol, which differs from honokiol only by the position of onehydroxyl group. Because of the very similar properties of magnolol and honokiol, purification has often been limited to a HPLC or electromigration. However, methods developed in 2006 by workers in the lab of Jack L. Arbiser, took advantage of the proximity of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in magnolol, which form a protectable diol, to generate amagnolol acetonide (Figure 1), with a subsequent simple purification via flash chromatography over silica.[4]
Figure 1
Additionally a rapid separation approach was published in the Journal of Chromatography A in 2007. The process uses high-capacity high-speed countercurrent chromatography(high-capacity HSCCC).[5] Through this method honokiol can be separated and purified to above 98% purity with a high yield in under an hour.
Honokiol is a lignan isolated from the bark, seed cones, and leaves of trees belonging to the genus Magnolia. It has been identified as one the chemical compounds in some traditional eastern herbal medicines along with magnolol, 4-O-methylhonokiol, andobovatol.
Traditional medicine
Extracts from the bark or seed cones of the Magnolia tree have been widely used in traditional medicine in China, Korea, and Japan.[2]
Houpu has traditionally been used in Eastern medicine as analgesic and to treat anxiety and mood disorders.[2][6] However, it has been shown to treat a number of other conditions. In China, magnolia bark is called Houpu and is most commonly taken from the Magnolia obovata and the Magnolia officinalis species.[7] Some Chinese traditional formulas containing Houpu include Banxia Houpu Tang (半夏厚朴丸), Xiao Zhengai Tang, Ping Wei San(平胃散) and Shenmi Tang.[2] Japanese Kampo formulas include, Hange-koboku-to (半夏厚朴湯) and Sai-boku-to (柴朴湯).[2][6]
Modern medicine
In the late 1990s, honokiol saw a revival in interest as a potent and highly tolerable antitumorigenic and neurotrophiccompound.
Alternative medicine
Currently there are a large number of supplements containing honokiol on the market, and its use has been widely well received among practitioners of new age, homeopathic, and holistic medicine

Magnolia seeds and fruit on a tree in northern Argentina
The root and stem bark of Magnolia has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of thrombotic stroke, gastrointestinal complaints, and anxiety. Honokiol (HNK), a substituted biphenyl and an active component isolated and purified from Magnolia, has anti-oxidant, antithrombosis, antibacterial, neurotrophic, xanthine oxidase inhibitory, and anxiolytic effects (Taira et al., Free Radic Res Commun. 1993;19 Suppl l:S71-77; Teng et al. Thromb Res. 1988;50:757-765; Clark et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1981;70:951-952; Chang et al., Anticancer Res. 1994;14:501-506; Kuribara et al., J. Pharm Pharmacol. 1998;50:819-826; Esumi et al., Bioorg & Medicinal Chem Let 2004, 14: 2621-25).
In the early 1990s, reports of HNK’s anticancer effects were published. In 1994, Hirano et al (Life Sci. 1994;55(13): 1061-9) examined the anti leukemic-cell efficacy of 28 naturally occurring and synthetic flavonoids and 11 naturally occurring ligands on human promyelocytic leukemic cell line HL-60, and cytotoxicity of these compounds was compared with four clinical anti-cancer agents. HNK was identified as one of the most potent compounds in this screen, with an IC50 value less than 100 ng/ml. In 1998, Hibasami et al. demonstrated that HNK induced apoptosis in human lymphoid leukemia Molt 4B cells (Hibasami et al., Int. J. MoI. Med. 1998).
HNK has also been found to induce apoptosis in human squamous cell lung cancer CH27 cells (Yang SE, et al Biochem Pharmacol. 2002;63:1641-1651) and in human colorectal RKO cells (Wang et al World J Gastroenterol. 2004; 10:2205-2208). In 2004, Chen et al. (World J Gastroenterol. 2004; 10: 3459-3463) reported that HNK was effective in an in vivo animal model of human colon cancer by inhibiting tumor growth and prolonging the lifespan of tumor bearing mice.
Honokiol is an inhibitor of angiogenesis and antitumor activity in vivo. HNK can cause apoptosis in tumor cells and inhibit angiogenesis through blocking phosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), the major mitogenic and chemoattractant endothelial growth factor (Bai et al. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 35501- 35507). Honokiol also exhibits direct antitumor activity through induction of apoptosis through tumor necrosis factor apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/ Apo2L) signaling and has been found to be highly effective against angiosarcoma in nude mice in vivo (Bai et al. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 35501-35507).
Esumi et al. (Biorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters (2004) 14: 2621-2625) describe a synthesis method to produce HNK. This report also evaluates the structure activity relationship of O-methylated and/or its hydrogenated analogs of HNK in an in vitro neurotrophic assay. Esumi et al. conclude that the 5-allyl and 4′-hydroxyl groups are essential for the neurotrophic activity of HNK.
PCT Publication No. WO 02/076393 and U.S. Publication No. 2004/0105906 to Emory University describe pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating conditions such angiogenic-, neoplastic-, and cancer-related conditions and skin conditions by administration of honokiol-type and/or magnolol-type compounds, as shown in Figures 1-4. For example, such compositions comprise at least one compound of formula Al :
AI wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R1, R2, R3, R4, and R’5 can be independently selected from groups that include, but are not limited to, hydrogen, hydroxyl groups, amides, amines, hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, cyclic hydrocarbons, cyclic heterocarbons, halogenated cyclic heterocarbons, benzyl, halogenated benzyl, organo selenium compounds, sulfides, carbonyl, thiol, ether, dinitrogen ring compounds, thiophenes, pyridines, pyrroles, imidazoles, and pyrimidines. Honokiol-type and magnolol-type compounds are shown to inhibit SVR cell proliferation.
In November of 2004, Arbiser et al. reported that honokiol inhibited the growth of multuple myeloma cell lines via induction of Gl growth arrest, followed by apoptosis with IC50 values at 48h of 5 to 10 μg/mL. It was also reported that honokiol inhibited growth of doxorubin (Dox)-resistant (RPMI-Dox40), mephalan resistant (RPMI-LR5) and dexamethasone (Dex)-resistant (MM. IR) cell lines. It was suggested that the mechanism of honokiol triggered cytotoxicity is the honokiol induced increased expressin of Bax and Bad, down-regulated Mc-I protein expression, followed by caspase-8/9/3 cleavage, (Arbiser, J. et al. Poster at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting, 2004. Abstract published online November 4, 2004).
In July of 2005, Battle et al. reported that honokiol induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells (Blood. July 2005; 106:690- 697). Honokiol induced caspase-dependent cell death in all of the B-CLL cells examined, which were primary tumor cells derived from B-CLL patients, and was more toxic toward B- CLL cells than to normal mononuclear cells. The honokiol-induced apoptosis was characterized by the activation of caspase-3, -8, and -9 and cleavage of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP). It was also reported that honokiol enhanced cytotoxicity induced by fludarabine, cladribine, or chlorambucil.
In September 2005, Ishitsuka et al reported that honokiol overcomes conventional drug resistance in human multiple myeloma by induction of caspase-dependent and – independent apoptosis (Blood, 1 September 2005, Vol. 106, No. 5, pp.1794-1800). HNK induced cytotoxicity in human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and tumor cells from patients with relapsed refractory MM through induction of apoptosis via both caspase- dependent and -independent pathways. HNK also enhanced MM cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by bortezomib.
It is an object of the present invention to provide new compounds, compositions, methods and uses for the treatment of disorders associated with angiogenesis, cell proliferation, tumor growth, tumorogenesis, and myeloma.

the intermediates for the synthesis of honokiol are 3-allyl-4- hydroxybenzeneboronate 5 and 4-allyl-2-bromophenol 9. The boronate 5 can be prepared from 2-iodophenol 1 by bromination, followed by Suzuki coupling to introduce the allyl group, and boronation under Suzuki conditions. Compound 9 can be prepared from 4- iodophenol 6 by bromination and allylation (Suzuki coupling). The coupling of 5 and 9 under Suzuki conditions can yield honokiol from Suzuki coupling, not other allyl-oriented products from the Heck reaction, as it was shown that Suzuki coupling can succeed in the presence of C=C double bond (see Miyaura, N.; Suzuki, A. (1995), Chem. Rev. 95, 2457- 2483; and Suzuki, A. (1999), J. Organometal. Chem. 576, 147-168, and the references cited therein). Thus, honokiol and derivatives can be synthesized from commercially available starting materials in 6 steps (Scheme 1). Scheme 1
Treatment of honokiol with TMS-diazomethane in methanol results in mono- and di- methylated compounds I-III, and hydrogenation of honokiol with Wilkinson’s catalyst yields di- and tetrahydrohonokiols VI-VIII, as reported by Esumi, T. et al. (2004), Bioorg. Med. Chern. Lett. 14, 2621-2625. The amino and fluoro analogues (IV and V) can be constructed from iodoacetanilide under Suzuki coupling conditions. From 2-iodoacetanilide 10, after bromination, allylation, and boronation, the boronated intermediate 13 can be prepared. The other bromo intermediate 16 can be prepared from 4-iodoacetanilide 14 via bromination and allylation. The coupling of boronate 13 and bromide 16 under Suzuki conditions can afford, after deprotection, the compound IV. Diazotization followed by Schiemann reaction can convert the amino analogue TV to fluoro analogue V (Scheme 2).
The dimethoxy honokiol derivative, III, can also be prepared, for example, by the treatment of honokiol with potassium carbonate, iodomethane. (Scheme 2a). The hydrogenated honokiol analog can alternatively be prepared by the hydrogenation of honokiol with sodium borohydride and nickel(II) chloride to yields tetrahydrohonokiols VI- Vπi. (Scheme 2a). Scheme 2a
The preparation of the vinyl analogue IX is based on combining the Wittig reaction with Suzuki coupling. The intermediate aldehyde 18 can be prepared from 4-iodophenol 17 via the Reimer-Tiemann reaction, while 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzenealdehyde 23 can be prepared from para-hydroxybenzoic ester 21 via bromination and reduction. The Wittig reaction of these two aldehydes can yield the corresponding vinyl substituted benzenes 19 and 24. Compound 19 can afford the boronate 20, which can be coupled with 24, to yield the compound IX (Scheme 3).
Reagents and conditions: (a) CHCl3, aq. NaOH, 70 °C; (b) Ph3PCH3Br1 n-BuLi, THF; (c) PdC!2(dppf), dppf, KOAc, dioxane, bis(pinacoato)diboron, 80 °C; (d) DIBALH, -70 °C; (e) PdCI2(dppf), dppf, K3PO4, dioxane, reflux.
For the synthesis of honokiol analogues with changed positions of the allyl or hydroxyl groups, the boronate 5, and the bromophenols 4 and 9 can be used as intermediates. Suzuki coupling of one of these intermediates with an appropriate halide or boronate can provide the compounds X-XVII. Compounds X-XII and XTV-XV can be prepared by Suzuki coupling of boronate 5 with an appropriate halide. Halide 25, needed for compound X, can be prepared from 2-bromo-6-iodophenol 2 via allylation, while the intermediate, 5-allyl-2- bromophenol 29 for compound XI, can be furnished from 3-iodophenol 26 via bromination and allylation. The preparation of halide 5-allyl-3-bromophenol 33, an intermediate for the synthesis of compound XIV, requires an organothallium reagent. The thallation of 3- bromophenol 30 followed by treatment with iodide can yield 3-bromo-5-iodophenol 32. After allylation, the allyl-substituted intermediate 33 can be prepared. The synthesis of compound XII can begin with 2-iodoacetanilide 10, via sulfonation, nitration, and reduction to obtain the intermediate 36. Aniline 36, after diazotization, followed by acid and base treatments, will afford 2-amino-3-iodophenol 37. Diazotization, Sandmeyer reaction, and allylation of compound 37 will yield halide 39. By a coupling reaction of these halides (25, 29, 33, and 39) with boronate 5, these compounds (X-XII, and XTV) can be prepared. Compound XV can be synthesized by Suzuki coupling of halide 4 with boronate 5 (Scheme 4).
Scheme 4
Alternatively, compounds X, XV, and XVII can be synthesized by an allylation- Claisen pathway. Biphenol compounds can be reacted first with potassium carbonate and allyl bromide, followed by reaction with BCl3 to yield honokiol-like compounds, for example, X, XV, and XVII. (Scheme 4a). To a cooled solution (O0C with an ice bath) of diallyl starting material (1 eq.) in dry diehloromethane (Concentration of the solution : 0.1 mol.L“1) was added dropwise a solution Of BCl3 (IM in diehloromethane; 1.5 eq. = 0.75 eq for each allyl group). The reaction is then stirred at O0C until disappearance of the starting material on TLC (If after 15 minutes, the reaction is not complete, 1 more equivalent of BCl3 can be added). After hydrolysis with water (about same volume than diehloromethane), the two layers are separated. The organic layer is washed again with water, dried under MgSO4 then evaporated under vacuum. The residue is finally purified by column chromatography to give the di- hydroxy derivative . Scheme 4a
Bromide 9 is also a useful intermediate for coupling with some boronates. For example, Suzuki coupling of bromide 9 with boronate 42, which is prepared from 4-bromo-3- iodophenol 40 via allylation and boronation, can yield the compound XIII. Similarly, the coupling between bromide 9 and boronate 43 can afford the compound XVT. The compound XVII can be prepared from 4-allyl-2-bromophenol 9 via boronation followed by Suzuki coupling with 2-allyl-6-bromophenol 25 (Scheme 5).
The compounds XVIII and XIX can be synthesized from commercially available bisphenol 45 and the dihydroxynaphthalene-disulfuric acid salt 47. Thus, the bisphenol 45, through the Williamson reaction and Claisen rearrangement, can be converted to compound XVπi. Similarly, desulfonation of dihydroxynaphthalene-disulfuric acid salt .47, followed by the Williamson reaction and Claisen rearrangement, can produce the compound XIX (Scheme 6).Scheme 6
Dioxolane compounds can be prepared from magnoliol by reaction of magnoliol with 2,2′-dimethoxypropane and p-toluenesulfonic acid. (Scheme 7). This synthesis also provides a method of separating mixtures of honokiol and magnoliol. Scheme 7

NVP-BEZ235 is a dual inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (P13K)and the downstream mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) by binding to the ATP-binding cleft of these enzymes. It specifically blocks the dysfunctional activation of the P13K pathway and induce G(1) arrest. NPV-BEZ235 has been shown to inhibit VEGF induced cell proliferation and survival in vitro and VEGF induced angiogenesis in vivo. It has also been shown to inhibit the growth of human cancer in animal models.
BEZ-235 is an orally active phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor in early clinical trials at Novartis for the treatment of advanced breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, solid tumors and castration-resistant prostate cancer. Phase I clinical trials were also under way at the company for the treatment of glioma, however, no developments in this indication has been reported. Phase II clinical trials are ongoing at Johann Wolfgang Goethe Universität for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute leukemia.
PI3Ks perform various functions, promoting cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival and intracellular trafficking. Mutations leading to increased activity of PI3Ks, including faulty production or action of PI3K antagonists, have been found in many cancers.

phase2………Treatment of Solid Tumors Therapy
ZSTK474 is a cell permeable and reversible P13K inhibitor with an IC₅₀ at 6nm. It was identified as part of a screening library, selected for its ability to block tumor cell growth. ZSTK474 has shown strong antitumor activities against human cancer xenographs when administered orally to mice without a significant toxic effect.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) has been implicated in a variety of diseases including cancer. A number of PI3K inhibitors have recently been developed for use in cancer therapy. ZSTK474 is a highly promising antitumor agent targeting PI3K. We previously reported that ZSTK474 showed potent inhibition against four class I PI3K isoforms but not against 140 protein kinases.
However, whether ZSTK474 inhibits DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), which is structurally similar to PI3K, remains unknown. To investigate the inhibition of DNA-PK, we developed a new DNA-PK assay method using Kinase-Glo. The inhibition activity of ZSTK474 against DNA-PK was determined, and shown to be far weaker compared with that observed against PI3K. The inhibition selectivity of ZSTK474 for PI3K over DNA-PK was significantly higher than other PI3K inhibitors, namely NVP-BEZ235, PI-103 and LY294002.

TH-302 is a nitroimidazole-linked prodrug of a brominated derivative of an isophosphoramide mustard previously used in cancer drugs
evofosfamide (first disclosed in WO2007002931), useful for treating cancer.
Threshold Pharmaceuticals and licensee Merck Serono are codeveloping evofosfamide, the lead in a series of topoisomerase II-inhibiting hypoxia-activated prodrugs and a 2-nitroimidazole-triggered bromo analog of ifosfamide, for treating cancer, primarily soft tissue sarcoma and pancreatic cancer (phase 3 clinical, as of April 2015).
In November 2014, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to the drug for the treatment of previously untreated patients with metastatic or locally advanced unresectable soft tissue sarcoma.
Evofosfamide (INN,[1] USAN;[2] formerly known as TH-302) is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug that is in clinical development for cancer treatment. The prodrug is activated only at very low levels of oxygen (hypoxia). Such levels are common in human solid tumors, a phenomenon known as tumor hypoxia.[3]
Evofosfamide is being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple tumor types as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapeutic agents and other targeted cancer drugs
Discovered at Threshold, TH-302 is a hypoxia-activated prodrug (HAP) designed to exploit low oxygen levels in hypoxic tumor regions. Therapeutics that specifically target resistant hypoxic zones could provide significant additional antitumor activity and clinical benefit over current chemotherapeutic and radiation therapies.
Evofosfamide (TH-302) was developed by Threshold Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Threshold).[4] The company is located in South San Francisco, CA, USA.
In 2012, Threshold signed a global license and co-development agreement for evofosfamide with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which includes an option for Threshold to co-commercialize eofosfamide in the United States. Threshold is responsible for the development of evofosfamide in the soft tissue sarcoma indication in the United States. In all other cancer indications, Threshold and Merck KGaA are developing evofosfamide together.[5] From 2012 to 2013, Merck KGaA paid 110 million US$ for upfront payment and milestone payments to Threshold. Additionally, Merck KGaA covers 70% of all evofosfamide development expenses.[6]

UNII-Q40W93WPE1
Tazemetostat, sold under the brand name Tazverik, is a medication used for the treatment of adults and adolescents aged 16 years and older with metastatic (when cancer cells spread to other parts of the body) or locally advanced (when cancer has grown outside the organ it started in, but has not yet spread to distant parts of the body) epithelioid sarcoma not eligible for complete resection (surgically removing all of a tissue, structure, or organ).[1]
Tazemetostat is a cancer drug that acts as a potent selective EZH2 inhibitor.[2]
Tazemetostat blocks activity of the EZH2 methyltransferase, which may help keep the cancer cells from growing.[1] Most cases of epithelioid sarcoma begin in the soft tissue under the skin of an extremity, though it can start in other areas of the body.[1] Surgical removal is considered the main treatment when the cancer is localized to one area of the body.[1] Chemotherapy or radiation may also be given.[1] However, there is a high likelihood for local and regional spread of the disease even with treatment and approximately 50% of patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.[1] Metastatic disease is considered life-threatening to the patient.[1]
The most common side effects are pain, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, vomiting and constipation.[1] People taking tazemetostat are at increased risk of developing secondary malignancies including: T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system usually found in the lymph nodes), myelodysplastic syndrome (a disorder resulting from poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells) and acute myeloid leukemia (a cancer of the blood and bone marrow).[1]
According to the NCI Drug Dictionary, “tazemetostat is an orally available, small molecule selective and S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) competitive inhibitor of histone methyl transferase EZH2, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, tazemetostat selectively inhibits the activity of both wild-type and mutated forms of EZH2. Inhibition of EZH2 specifically prevents the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). This decrease in histone methylation alters gene expression patterns associated with cancer pathways and results in decreased tumor cell proliferation in EZH2 mutated cancer cells. EZH2, which belongs to the class of histone methyltransferases (HMTs), is overexpressed or mutated in a variety of cancer cells and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation.”[3]
History
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved tazemetostat in January 2020,[1] based on the results of a clinical trial (NCT02601950) enrolling 62 subjects with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma.[1][4] During the clinical trial, subjects received 800 milligrams (mg) of tazemetostat twice a day until the disease progressed or the subject reached an unacceptable level of toxicity.[1][4] Tumor response assessments were performed every eight weeks during the clinical trial.[1] The trial measured how many subjects experienced complete or partial shrinkage (by a certain amount) of their tumors during treatment (overall response rate).[1] The overall response rate was 15%, with 1.6% of subjects having a complete response and 13% having a partial response.[1] Of the nine subjects that had a response, six (67%) subjects had a response lasting six months or longer.[1]
The trial was conducted at 22 sites in France, United Kingdom, Taiwan, Italy, Canada, Belgium, and the United States.[4]
The FDA granted the application for tazemetostat accelerated approval and orphan drug designation.[1] The FDA granted the approval of Tazverik to Epizyme Inc.[1]

Tazemetostat, also known as EPZ-6438, is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of EZH2 enzymatic activity. EPZ-6438 induces apoptosis and differentiation specifically in SMARCB1-deleted MRT cells.
Treatment of xenograft-bearing mice with EPZ-6438 leads to dose-dependent regression of MRTs with correlative diminution of intratumoral trimethylation levels of lysine 27 on histone H3, and prevention of tumor regrowth after dosing cessation.
These data demonstrate the dependency of SMARCB1 mutant MRTs on EZH2 enzymatic activity and portend the utility of EZH2-targeted drugs for the treatment of these genetically defined cancers. EPZ-6438 is currently in clinical trials.
Epizyme, Inc., Eisai R&D Management Co.Ltd.
Epizyme is developing tazemetostat, a lead from several small molecule EZH2 inhibitors, for treating cancer (phase 1 clinical, as of April 2015). Japanese licensee Eisai was developing the program for the potential oral treatment of cancers, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma; however, in March 2015, Epizyme regained worldwide, ex-Japan, rights to the program.
It appeared that Eisai was planning to investigate the program in Japan .

The histone lysine methyltransferase EZH2 has been implicated as a key component in cancer aggressiveness, metastasis and poor prognosis. This study discovered a new class of hexahydroisoquinolin derivatives as EZH2 inhibitors. A structure–activity relationship study showed that the steric hindrance was important to the activity for EZH2. A preliminary optimization study led to the discovery of several potent compounds with low nanomolar to sub-nanomolar potency for EZH2. Biological evaluation indicated that SKLB1049 was a highly potent with improved solubility compared to EPZ6438, SAM-competitive, and cell-active EZH2 inhibitor that decreased global H3K27me3 in SU-DHL-6 and Pfeiffer lymphoma cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. Further study indicated that SKLB1049 caused cell arrest in G0/G1 phase. These compounds would be useful as chemical tools to further explore the biology of EZH2 and provided us with a start point to develop new EZH2 inhibitors.
