Tetrahalogenated Compounds Useful as Inhibitors Description of Technology: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in United States and it is estimated that there will be approximately 600,000 deaths caused by cancer in 2006. A major drawback of the existing chemotherapies is the cytotoxic sideeffects that are associated with them. Thus, there is a need to develop new therapeutic approaches with reduced side-effects. Anti-angiogenic therapy is a recent approach in cancer therapeutics targeting the formation of blood vessels that are necessary for tumor growth. Recently, the anti-angiogenic molecule bevacizumab (Avastin) has gained approval from the FDA for the first-line treatment of metastatic colon cancer in combination with standard chemotherapy. Another promising antiangiogenic molecule is thalidomide. Thalidomide has been approved as an anti-cancer agent and for other use in Europe and Australia. However, its use as a drug has been limited by its effect as a teratogen, necessitating the development of new thalidomide analogs with improved efficacy and reduced toxicity. This technology describes synthesis of several tetrahalogenated thalidomide derivatives that are potentially more anti-angiogenic than thalidomide. More specifically, two series of analogs based on two major common pharmacophores have been synthesized. One series preserves the thalidomide common structure, while the other series contains a different common structure PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30427 (tetrafluorobenzamides). Several analogs from both series have shown significant anti-angiogenic properties, in vitro. This technology has therapeutic potential for a broad spectrum of cancer related diseases alone, or in combination with existing therapies. Applications: Novel tetrahalogenated thalidomide analogs containing the thalidomide pharmacophore with improved anti-angiogenic activity; Novel tetrahalogenated thalidomide analogs containing a different common structure (tetrafluorobenzamides) with considerable anti-angiogenic activity; Use of the compounds for the treatment of several cancers; Use of the compounds for the treatment other diseases including autoimmune diseases. Market: 600,000 deaths from cancer related diseases estimated in 2006. The technology platform involving novel anti-angiogenic small molecule cancer therapy technology has a potential market of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. The technology platform has additional market in treating several other clinical problems such as autoimmune diseases. Development Status: The technology is currently in the pre-clinical stage of development. Inventors: William D. Figg (NCI), Erin Lepper (SAIC), et al.
