- Discovery of 7-(4-(3-Ethynylphenylamino)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yloxy)-N- hydroxyheptanamide (CUDC-101) as a potent multi-acting HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 inhibitor for the treatment of cancer
-
By incorporating histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory functionality into the pharmacophore of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) inhibitors, we synthesized a novel series of compounds with potent, multiacting HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 inhibition and identified 7-(4-(3-ethynylphenylamino)-7-methoxyquinazolin-6-yloxy)-N- hydroxyheptanamide 8 (CUDC-101) as a drug candidate, which is now in clinical development. 8 displays potent in vitro inhibitory activity against HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 with an IC50 of 4.4, 2.4, and 15.7 nM, respectively. In most tumor cell lines tested, 8 exhibits efficient antiproliferative activity with greater potency than vorinostat (SAHA), erlotinib, lapatinib, and combinations of vorinostat/erlotinib and vorinostat/lapatinib. In vivo, 8 promotes tumor regression or inhibition in various cancer xenograft models including nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), liver, breast, head and neck, colon, and pancreatic cancers. These results suggest that a single compound that simultaneously inhibits HDAC, EGFR, and HER2 may offer greater therapeutic benefits in cancer over single-acting agents through the interference with multiple pathways and potential synergy among HDAC and EGFR/HER2 inhibitors.

- TARTRATE SALTS OF QUINAZOLINE BASED EGFR INHIBITORS CONTAINING A ZINC BINDING MOIETY
-
The present invention relates to tartrate salts of quinazoline containing zinc-binding moiety based derivatives that are inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) and their use in the treatment of EGFR-TK related diseases and disorders such as cancer. The tartrate salts may further act as HDAC inhibitors.

- FORMULATION OF QUINAZOLINE BASED EGFR INHIBITORS CONTAINING A ZINC BINDING MOIETY
-
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an inclusion complex of a cyclodextrin and quinazoline containing zinc-binding moiety based derivatives. The cyclodextrin is preferable a β-cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof. The quinazolines have enhanced and unexpected properties as inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) and their use in the treatment of EGFR-TK related diseases and disorders such as cancer. The said derivatives may further act as HDAC inhibitors.

- MULTI-FUNCTIONAL SMALL MOLECULES AS ANTI-PROLIFERATIVE AGENTS
-
The present invention relates to the compositions, methods, and applications of a novel approach to selective inhibition of several cellular or molecular targets with a single small molecule. More specifically, the present invention relates to multi-functional small molecules wherein one functionality is capable of inhibiting histone deacetylases (HDAC) and the other functionality is capable of inhibiting a different cellular or molecular pathway involved in aberrant cell proliferation, differentiation or survival.
