Paragraph 00225; 00246, (2014/09/29)
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for treating cancer comprising BRAF inhibitors, (e.g. vemurafenib) and/or MEK inhibitor, (e.g. trametinib, RO5068760), in combination with anti-tubulin compounds of the invention or other known tubulin inhibitors, and using such compositions for treating cancer such as melanoma, drug-resistant cancer, and cancer metastasis.

A series of 2-aryl-4-benzoyl-imidazoles (ABI) was synthesized as a result of structural modifications based on the previous set of 2-aryl-imidazole-4- carboxylic amide (AICA) derivatives and 4-substituted methoxylbenzoyl-aryl- thiazoles (SMART). The average IC50 of the most active compound (5da) was 15.7 nM. ABI analogues have substantially improved aqueous solubility (48.9 μg/mL for 5ga vs 0.909 μg/mL for SMART-1, 0.137 μg/mL for paclitaxel, and 1.04 μg/mL for combretastatin A4). Mechanism of action studies indicate that the anticancer activity of ABI analogues is through inhibition of tubulin polymerization by interacting with the colchicine binding site. Unlike paclitaxel and colchicine, the ABI compounds were equally potent against multidrug resistant cancer cells and the sensitive parental melanoma cancer cells. In vivo results indicated that 5cb was more effective than DTIC in inhibiting melanoma xenograph tumor growth. Our results suggest that the novel ABI compounds may be developed to effectively treat drug-resistant tumors.
