Acid addition salts of basic compounds are, in some embodiments, prepared by contacting the free base forms with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce the salt according to methods and techniques with which a skilled artisan is familiar.

    [0184] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt refers to those salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the free acids, which are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts are, in some embodiments, formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines.

    [0187] As used herein, treatment or treating, or palliating or ameliorating are used interchangeably. These terms refer to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including but not limited to therapeutic benefit and/or a prophylactic benefit. By therapeutic benefit is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient is still afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the compositions are, in some embodiments, administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease has not been made.

    [0188] Chemical modification is an important tool to alter structure and function of proteins. One way to achieve chemical modification of proteins is to use protein binders (e.g., a (e.g., covalent) small molecule inhibitor). As a result, binders (e.g., covalent small molecule binders (e.g., inhibitors) of proteins) are considered to be useful in multiple applications, including therapeutics. Covalent binding (e.g., inhibition) of a target protein may minimize the required systemic drug exposure. In some embodiments, protein (e.g., functional) activity can only be restored by de novo protein synthesis, resulting in a prolonged therapeutic effect long after the compound is cleared from the blood. Strategically placing an electrophilic moiety on the protein binder (e.g., inhibitor) will allow it to undergo attack by a nucleophilic amino acid residue upon binding to the target protein, forming a reversible or irreversible bond that is much stronger than typical noncovalent interactions. However, the ability to form a covalent bond with the target enzyme has raised concerns about indiscriminate reactivity with off-target proteins, even though some of the most prescribed drugs are covalent irreversible binders. This led to the disfavor of covalent modifiers as drug candidates until the recent successful development of irreversible covalent kinase inhibitors ibrutinib and afatinib, which form an irreversible covalent bond between an acrylamide warhead and a nonconserved cysteine residue on the ATP-binding site but also with nontargeted cellular thiols. The ability to form covalent adducts with off-target proteins has been linked to an increased risk of unpredictable idiosyncratic toxicity along with the daily drug dose administered to patients. Accordingly, there is a need to reduce the risk of non-target covalent interactions by incorporating less reactive electrophilic moieties into binders (e.g., to form covalent small molecule binders (e.g, inhibitors)). In some embodiments, described herein is a protein binder, such as a covalent small molecule binder (e.g., inhibitor). In some embodiments, described herein is a covalent small molecule binder which acts functionally as an inhibitor. In some embodiments, described herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a protein binder (e.g., a covalent small molecule binder (e.g., inhibitor)) and one or more of pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In other embodiments, a protein binder (e.g., a covalent small molecule binder (e.g., inhibitor)) is used to treat or prevent a disease or condition in a subject in need thereof.

    [0189] In some embodiments, a protein binder provided herein, such as a covalent small molecule binder (e.g., inhibitor) is a benzenesulfonamide derivative compound. In some embodiments, a benzenesulfonamide derivative compound as described herein is used to treat or prevent a disease or condition in a subject in need thereof.

    [0190] In some instances, a protein binder provided herein, such as any compound provided herein, such as a compound of Table 8, binds to, (e.g., covalently) interacts with, modulates (e.g., inhibits), destabilizes, imparts a conformational change, (functionally) disrupts a protein described herein, such as, for example, KRAS. In some instances, a protein binder provided herein binds to KRAS. In some instances, a protein binder provided herein interacts with KRAS. In some instances, a protein binder provided herein covalently interacts with KRAS. In some instances, a protein binder provided herein modulates KRAS.

    [0192] In some instances, a compound provided herein is an irreversible binder (e.g., inhibitor). In some instances, mass spectrometry (e.g., of the protein drug target modified (e.g., KRAS) in the presence of a compound provided herein) is used to determine if a compound is an irreversible binder (e.g., inhibitor), such as shown in FIGS. 1-15. In some instances, a protein (e.g., KRAS) inhibited by a compound provided herein is subjected to mass spectral analysis (e.g., to assess the formation of permanent, irreversible covalent adducts). In some instances, analytical methods to examine peptide fragments (e.g., generated upon tryptic cleavage of a protein (e.g., KRAS)) include, but are not limited to mass spectroscopy. In some instances, such methods identify permanent, irreversible covalent protein adducts (e.g., by observing a mass peak that corresponds to the mass of a control sample plus the mass of an irreversible adduct).

    [0193] In some instances, such as when a protein described herein interacts (e.g., is bound (e.g., covalently and/or irreversibly bound)) with a compound provided herein, binding of a protein described herein leads to functional inhibition of the protein target (e.g., in a cellular environment).

    [0194] In some embodiments, a compound provided herein comprises a group (e.g., a warhead) that irreversibly or covalently binds to a protein (e.g., KRAS). In some instances, a warhead provided herein is a functional group that covalently binds to an amino acid residue (such as cysteine, lysine, histidine, or other residues capable of being covalently modified), present in or near the binding pocket of a target protein (e.g., KRAS). In some instances, a warhead provided herein irreversibly inhibits KRAS. In some instances, a warhead provided herein covalently and irreversibly inhibits KRAS either alone or in combination with L (e.g., warhead-L-).
