Intellectual Property Description of Technology: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is an enzyme whose normal function is to convert isocitrate to a-ketoglutarate. Mutated forms of this enzyme (mIDH1) are common in a variety of cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), glioma, cholangiocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma and melanoma. The IDH1 mutation at position 132 and similar IDH1 mutations result in the enzyme gaining the ability to catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of the wild type enzyme’s product, aketoglutarate to R–2-hydroxyglutarate (2–HG). 2–HG is an oncometabolite, and its elevated levels have been shown to lead to de-differentiation of cells. Mutant IDH1 is an attractive target for anti-cancer therapeutics as inhibition reduces levels of 2–HG. It is expected that lower 2–HG levels will result in fewer undifferentiated cancer cells. Furthermore, inhibition of mutant IDH1 is expected to have little effect on noncancerous cells, as these cells do not express the IDH1 mutation resulting in lower toxicity than typical cytotoxic anticancer agents. In collaboration with the University of North Carolina, the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) investigators have discovered a series of novel compounds that potently and selectively inhibit mIDH1. These compounds reduce 2–HG levels in cell lines in vitro as well as in human cancer cells grown in mouse xenografts in vivo. These compounds show greater than 250-fold selectivity for the mutant enzyme over the wild-type, show favorable in vitro stability (in mouse, rat, dog and human hepatocyte exposure studies), are AMES negative, and exhibit PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 no significant metabolic CYP liabilities. These compounds possess very favorable in vivo rodent pharmacokinetics and bioavailability and are well tolerated in rodents, even when dosed at high levels.

    Description of Technology: Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is an 
enzyme whose normal function is to convert isocitrate to [alpha]-
ketoglutarate. Mutated forms of this enzyme (mIDH1) are common in a 
variety of cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), glioma, 
cholangiocarcinoma, chondrosarcoma and melanoma. The IDH1 mutation at 
position 132 and similar IDH1 mutations result in the enzyme gaining 
the ability to catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of the wild type 
enzyme's product, [alpha]-ketoglutarate to R-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). 
2-HG is an oncometabolite, and its elevated levels have been shown to 
lead to de-differentiation of cells. Mutant IDH1 is an attractive 
target for anti-cancer therapeutics as inhibition reduces levels of 2-
HG. It is expected that lower 2-HG levels will result in fewer 
undifferentiated cancer cells. Furthermore, inhibition of mutant IDH1 
is expected to have little effect on non-cancerous cells, as these 
cells do not express the IDH1 mutation resulting in lower toxicity than 
typical cytotoxic anticancer agents.
    In collaboration with the University of North Carolina, the 
National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) 
investigators have discovered a series of novel compounds that potently 
and selectively inhibit mIDH1. These compounds reduce 2-HG levels in 
cell lines in vitro as well as in human cancer cells grown in mouse 
xenografts in vivo. These compounds show greater than 250-fold 
selectivity for the mutant enzyme over the wild-type, show favorable in 
vitro stability (in mouse, rat, dog and human hepatocyte exposure 
studies), are AMES negative, and exhibit no significant metabolic CYP 
liabilities. These compounds possess very favorable in vivo rodent 
pharmacokinetics and bioavailability and are well tolerated in rodents, 
even when dosed at high levels.

Value Proposition

     Novel mutant IDH1 inhibitors are effective at lowering the
