[0069] cGAS-STING Pathway, Immunogenic Apoptosis, and Production of Type 1 IFNs

[0070] Cytoplasmic double-stranded DNA may be introduced from outside cells through microbial infection or vesicular transfer from adjacent dead cells. Cytoplasmic DNA may also be derived from damaged genomic DNA or mitochondrial DNA inside cells. Once cytoplasmic DNA is present, it may be detected by various DNA sensors such as RNA polymerase III, DDX41, DAI, IFI6, cGAS, LEEFIP1, DHX9, DHX36, Ku70 and AIM2.

[0071] Cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a cytoplasmic protein present as a dimer and consists of two DNA-binding domains and a nucleotidyltransferase domain (that converts ATP and GTP to cyclic dinucleotide 2,3-cGAMP having 2,5 and 3,5 phosphodiesters bonds). In addition, cGAMP acts as a secondary messenger and binds to STING with high affinity (Kd?4 nM) to induce type 1 IFN expression.

[0072] STING (also known as TMEM173, MITA, or MPYS) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) anchor protein containing four transmembrane domains at the N-terminus and a dimerization domain at the C-terminus. Upon binding to cGAMP, STING forms a tetramer and translocates from the ER to the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment. In the Golgi apparatus, STING attracts and activates tank binding kinase 1 (TBK1), the activated TBK1 phosphorylates the C-terminal domain of STING, and STING recruits and activates interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3). Then, the activated IRF3 migrates to the nucleus and promotes the expression of immune-stimulated genes (ISG) and type 1 IFN. After activation, STING is transferred to endolysosomes and is then degraded. At this time, cGAS-STING pathway activation is terminated.

[0073] Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD)

[0074] Immunogenic cell death (ICD), which is a type of cell death, refers to a cellular phenomenon that induces activation of a controlled immune response. Cell death is characterized by an apoptotic morphology and maintains the integrity of the biological membrane. ICD is also characterized by the secretion of DAMPs (e.g., calreticulin, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), ATP and Hsp70/90 proteins) as well as exposure of polypeptides formed by native or mutated proteins to the cells. The exposed polypeptides (acting as antigens) are recognized by dendritic cells (DCs) and subsequently prime effector T-cell lymphocytes to activate an adaptive immune response.

[0075] ICD may also be further classified based on different types of ICD inducers, such as 1) radiation (e.g., UV radiation or gamma radiation), 2) small chemotherapy molecules (e.g., doxorubicin or paclitaxel), and 3) biological agents (e.g., polypeptides, oligosaccharides, lipids or nucleic acids).

[0076] Radiation Therapy

[0077] Radiation therapy is well known and used for the treatment of patients suffering from a variety of diseases. Radiation therapy is typically used to inhibit the death or growth of undesirable tissue (e.g., cancerous tissue). The determined amount of high-energy electromagnetic radiation and/or high-energy particles aims to minimize unintended damage to desirable or healthy tissue while directly damaging undesirable tissues or lesions on the path through which the radiation passes.

[0078] The results of research so far showed that, since the effect on normal tissue depends more greatly on the fraction size than the dose, the 1.8-2.0-Gy fractional dose is regarded as the standard for conventional radiation therapy and thus the treatment time is longer. In fact, a small dose per fraction induces the tumor effect by mitotic death of cancer cells and restores sublethal damage to normal tissues after administration. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an improved radiation therapy that uses sophisticated image guidance to pinpoint the three-dimensional location of tumors so that radiation can be delivered more accurately to cancer cells. In addition to direct cytotoxicity, SBRT has substantial effects on tumor cell death at high doses accompanying microvascular damage, thus adding a novel mechanism of radiation-induced damage. However, a recent report has shown that high-dose radiation induces the expression of nuclease enzymes to attenuate the effects of radiation on STING-mediated innate immune activation.

[0079] Neoadjuvant Therapy

[0080] Neoadjuvant therapy is a treatment method that aims at facilitating the treatment of the main therapy or increasing the success rate of the main therapy by reducing the size and progress of the tumor through administration of a therapeutic agent prior to administration or procedure of the main therapy. The therapeutic agents useful for neoadjuvant therapy include 1) systemic therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or hormone therapy) and 2) local therapy (radiation therapy). The neoadjuvant therapy is disadvantageously inapplicable to all patients because the therapeutic agent used may cause different toxicity in patients and determines whether or not operation of the main therapy is impossible. A recent report showed that, when concomitant administration of a STING pathway agonist and an immune checkpoint inhibitor with and interleukin 2 was used as neoadjuvant therapy, the survival rate was superior to that of the case where the STING pathway agonist was not used, which supports the potential applicability of therapeutic agents activating the STING pathway to neoadjuvant therapy (Lauren E. Milling, et al., can, imm, res, (2021), 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-21-0247).

[0081] Anticancer Vaccine

[0082] An anticancer vaccine is a treatment method that activates dendritic cells, which are antigen-marking cells, by administering selected cancer antigens along with an adjuvant, and aims to induce tumor growth suppression and tumor death by stimulating the acquired immune system of the patient to recognize and attack specific cancer antigens. Depending on the method of administrating cancer antigens, antigen vaccines may be divided into specific antigen vaccines (one or more purified antigens or antigen-producing substances that are selected and injected) and non-specific antigen vaccines (inducing cancer cell death in the tumor to release antigens). Depending on the type of injection of specific antigen vaccines into the body, antigen vaccines may be divided into DNA vaccines, RNA vaccines, and protein vaccines. A recent report showed that concomitant administration of a STING agonist with a protein anti-cancer vaccine exhibited a synergistic effect of increasing the survival rate and preventing metastasis, which supports the potential applicability of therapeutic agents activating the STING pathway to combination therapy with anti-cancer vaccines (DNA vaccines, RNA vaccines and protein vaccines) (Matteo Rossi, et al., front. In imm. (2021), 10.3389/fimmu.2021.695056).

[0083] CAR-T Therapy

[0084] CAR-T cell therapy includes isolating T cells present in the patient, expressing a special receptor (CAR, chimeric antigen receptor) that can recognize cancer cells, proliferating the receptor, and injecting the receptor into the body of the patient to induce the CAR-T cells to cause the antigens to selectively attack cancer cells on the surface thereof. A recent report has shown that when CAR-T therapy is combined with a therapeutic agent that activates STING pathway, the increase in type 1 interferon improves tumor infiltration and apoptosis of CAR-T cells, thus increasing the efficacy of the therapeutic agent for CAR-T cell therapy, which supports the potential applicability of combination therapy of the therapeutic agent that induces STING pathway activation with CAR-T cells in the tumor microenvironment (Feng Ji, et. Al., (2021) J Hematol Oncol (2021) 14:152).

[0085] Pathogen

[0086] As described above, intracellular invasion of nucleic acids derived from pathogens activates the cGAS-STING pathway, thereby increasing the immune response to pathogens. In some cases, the pathogen is a virus, such as a DNA virus or RNA virus. In some cases, the pathogen is a retrovirus. Examples of viruses that activate the cGAS-STING pathway include, but are not limited to, herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), vaccinia virus (VACV), adenovirus, human papilloma virus (HPV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), influenza A virus (IAV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). In other embodiments, the pathogen is a bacterium. Examples of bacteria include, but are not limited to, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Francisella novicida, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia trachomatis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

[0087] Myocardial Infarction

[0088] Myocardial infarction is a major cause of systolic heart failure. After myocardial infarction occurs, various types of cells flow into cardiac tissue to regenerate or heal the lesioned cardiac tissue. Healing is greatly affected by the communication and regulation between the inflowed cells. The completed healing greatly effects the functional recovery of myocardial tissue. There is high demand for drugs that help or facilitate such myocardial tissue regeneration. A recent report has shown that adenine and purine nucleotides are changed due to the activity of the ENPP1 enzyme expressed by fibroblasts in the lesioned cardiac tissue, resulting in increased apoptosis of non-cardiomyocytes and immune cells and interfering with cardiac tissue regeneration. The possibility of promoting the functional recovery of myocardial tissue by inhibiting ENPP1 enzyme activity has been shown (Shen Li, et al., J. Clin. Inv. (2021), 10.1172/JCI149711).

[0089] Therapeutic Agent for Hypophosphatemia Genetic Diseases

[0090] Hypophosphatasia is a congenital metabolic disorder and a genetic disorder in which bone regeneration and mineralization are impaired due to the deficiency in alkaline phosphatase, which is an essential enzyme for cellular processes such as muscle metabolism and bone formation. For patients diagnosed with hypophosphatemia, it is important to relieve bone-related symptoms through low-impact physical activity and exercise as a precaution and expert management is essential in order to alleviate symptoms caused by hypophosphatemia and prevent complications. Cases in which effects are obtained through bone marrow transplantation in severe patients have been reported, but the effects thereof has not yet been proven. A recent report has shown that hypophosphatasia is caused by an increase in excessive pyrophosphate in the body due to alkaline phosphatase deficiency, and that pyrophosphate is produced by ENPP1 activity and thus inhibition of ENPP1 activity has a potential of reducing hypophosphatemia symptoms (RallyBio corporate presentation (2021)).

[0091] Phosphodiesterases

[0092] Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) include cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterases, DNases, RNases, restriction endonucleases, and a number of less well known small molecule phosphodiesterases. A group of exemplary PDE enzymes is important for hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides adenosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3,5-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) into the inactive 5 monophosphates thereof.

[0093] Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases contain a group of enzymes that cleave phosphodiester bonds of the cyclic nucleotide secondary messenger molecules, namely, cAMP and cGMP. They regulate the localization, persistence and amplification of cyclic nucleotide signals in subcellular domains.

[0094] Ecto-Nucleotide Pyrophosphatases/Phosphodiesterase

[0095] The class of phosphodiesterases also includes ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatases/phosphodiesterases. Ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP) or nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP) is a group of enzymes of ectonucleotidases that hydrolyze the pyrophosphate and phosphodiester bonds of substrates thereof to form nucleotide 5-monophosphates (or phospholipids and phosphocholines). In some embodiments, the ENPP enzyme group includes seven enzymes of ectonucleotidases (ENPP-1, ENPP-2, ENPP-3, ENPP-4, ENPP-5, ENPP-6 and ENPP-7) having a similar protein structure on the cell surface.

[0096] ENPP enzymes usually have a modular structure including a catalytic domain of 400 amino acids. This catalytic domain is not related to phospholipase, Nudix hydrolase or ectonucleotide triphosphate diphosphohydrolase, although it exhibits partially overlapping activities. ENPPs 1 and 3 are predicted to have a transmembrane domain at the N-terminus thereof and a nuclease-like domain at the C-terminus thereof and to be type 2 single-spanning transmembrane proteins whose catalytic domains are directed towards the extracellular domain. ENPP 2, which lacks a transmembrane domain at either the N- or C-terminus thereof, is expected to have a signal peptide at the N-terminus thereof and to be secreted extracellularly. ENPPs 4, 5, 6, and 7 containing putative N-terminal signal peptides and C-terminal transmembrane domains are also predicted to be type 1 single-spanning transmembrane proteins whose catalytic domains are directed to the extracellular domain.

[0097] ENPPs 1, 2 and 3 are known to generate nucleoside monophosphates (ENPPs 1, 2 and 3) or nucleoside diphosphates (ENPPs 1 and 2) using nucleotides and derivatives thereof as substrates. It is known that only ENPP2 uses lysophospholipids. ENPPs 6 and 7 are known to produce choline phosphates using choline phosphate esters as substrates. For ENPPs 4 and 5, there is no known substrate.

[0098] ENPP1, which is also called NPP1 or PC-1, is a type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein and is expressed in a variety of tissues (pancreas, kidney, bladder and liver). ENPP1 is essential for purinergic signaling, which plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular, neuronal, immune and blood functions in mammals. ENPP1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP to AMP or GMP to produce inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi). In general, since inorganic pyrophosphate regulates the mineralization of bone and cartilage, the production of PPi by ENPP1 makes ENPP1 a central regulator of bone and cartilage development. In contrast to the inhibitory effect of excessive PPi produced by ENPP1 in joint tissue, formation of calcium phosphate from PPi produced by ENPP1 is essential for mineralization of bone tissue. ENPP1 has broad specificity and hydrolyzes a variety of substrates, including phosphodiester linkages of nucleotides and nucleotide sugars and pyrophosphate linkages of nucleotides and nucleotide sugars.

[0099] Recently, ENPP1 has been found to play an important role in the immunological response to various extrinsic signals that activate the cGAS-STING pathway. An exploratory study of enzymatic activity degrading cGAMP molecules revealed that ENPP1 functions as a major hydrolase of cGAMP. Consistent with these findings, it was reported that the half-life of cGAMP was greatly dependent on ENPP1 based on verification of a much longer cGAMP half-life in ENPP1 knockout mice.

[0100] The bisphosphothionate analogue of cGAMP, which is resistant to ENPP1 hydrolysis, was shown to activate STING ten times more effectively than cGAMP, which indicates that delay or reduction of cGAMP hydrolysis by inhibition of ENPP1 can greatly increase the activation of STING. It has been reported that inhibition of ENPP1 induces the presence of persistent cGAMP to activate the STING pathway, thereby attenuating pseudorabies virus infection and reducing Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

[0101] Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides an inhibitor of ENPP1, which is a cGAMP-degrading polypeptide.

[0102] In one aspect, the ENPP1 inhibitor is a reversible inhibitor.

[0103] In one aspect, the ENPP1 inhibitor is a competitive inhibitor.

[0104] In another aspect, the ENPP1 inhibitor is an allosteric inhibitor.

[0105] In another aspect, the ENPP1 inhibitor is an irreversible inhibitor.

[0106] In one aspect, the inhibitor of ENPP1 binds to a phosphodiesterase (PDE) catalytic domain to which AMP or GMP is bound.

[0107] In one aspect, the inhibitor of ENPP1 binds to the PDE catalytic domain, but weakly binds thereto when AMP is bound thereto.

[0108] In another aspect, the inhibitor of ENPP1 does not inhibit the ATP hydrolytic activity of the catalytic domain or weakly inhibits the ATP hydrolytic activity thereof.

[0109] Method for Inhibiting ENPP1

[0110] As mentioned above, the present invention includes the following configurations: 1) an ENPP1 inhibitor; 2) a method of inhibiting an ENPP1 enzyme using the ENPP1 inhibitor; 3) a method of inhibiting the hydrolase activity of ENPP1 to cGAMP; 4) a method of improving the signal output of STING path activation; and 5) a method of inhibiting tumor growth in an appropriate mouse tumor model in a single or combination therapy setting.

[0111] In some embodiments, inhibition of ENPP1 means that the activity of ENPP1 is reduced by 10% or more, for example 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, or 95% or more, compared to a control not treated with the compound. In some embodiments, inhibition of ENPP1 means that the activity of ENPP1 is reduced by at least 2 times, for example at least 3 times, at least 5 times, at least 10 times, at least 100 times, or at least 1,000 times, compared to a control not treated with the compound.

[0112] In some embodiments, the cell-permeable ENPP1 inhibitor is an inhibitor as described herein. In some embodiments, the cell-penetrable ENPP1 inhibitor is an inhibitor for any one compound selected from the benzotriazole derivative compound represented by Formula 1, the tautomer thereof, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the hydrate thereof, and the stereoisomer thereof.

[0238] In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention have an ENPP1 inhibition profile that reflects activity against additional enzymes. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention specifically inhibit ENPP1 without unintended inhibition of one or more other enzymes.

[0239] In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention inhibit ENPP 1, which can be determined through assay for detecting the activity of enzymes in cell-free or cellular systems after treatment with the compounds of the present invention, compared to a control group by inhibition analysis, for example, by measurement of IC.sub.50 or EC.sub.50. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention have an IC.sub.50 (or EC.sub.50) of 10 ?M or less, such as 3 ?M or less, 1 ?M or less, 500 nM or less, 300 nM or less, 200 nM or less, 100 nM or less, 50 nM or less, 30 nM or less, 10 nM or less, 5 nM or less, 3 nM or less, 1 nM or less, or an even lower value.

[0240] The procedure of the assay that can be used to determine the activity of ENPP1 may include, but is not limited to, the following assay procedures including cell-free assay systems, such as avidity assays, assays using purified enzymes, cell assays for determining phenotypes of cells, such as gene expression assays and in vivo assays involving specific animals.

[0241] In some embodiments, the method of the present invention is a method of suppressing cancer cell proliferation, the method including treating the cells with an effective amount of the compound of the present invention to suppress cancer cell proliferation. In some embodiments, the method may be performed in combination with chemotherapy. Any cancer cells may be used as long as they are available.

[0242] Treatment Method

[0243] As mentioned above, the present invention includes methods for inhibiting ENPP1 activity against cGAMP to cause increased levels of cGAMP and/or modulation of downstream factors of the STING pathway. A recent report has shown that ENPP1 inhibition can modulate STING activity in vivo, and thus can be used for the treatment of various diseases, such as cancer immunotherapy or treatment of infectious diseases. As described above, the method of the present invention is a method of increasing the STING-mediated response and regulating the immune response in a subject.

[0244] In some embodiments, the STING-mediated response includes increasing production of interferon (e.g., type 1 interferon, type 3 interferon) in the subject. Interferons (IFNs) are a group of signaling proteins produced and released by host cells in response to the presence of one or more pathogens to enhance the defenses of surrounding cells against the pathogens. IFNs also have a variety of other functions of 1) activating immune cells such as NK cells and macrophages, and of 2) promoting host defense by upregulating antigen presentation through increased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens. IFNs are generally classified into three classes: type 1 IFNs, type 2 IFNs, and type 3 IFNs. Mammalian type 1 INFs include IFN-? (alpha), IFN-? (beta), IFN-? (delta), IFN-? (epsilon), IFN-? (kappa), IFN-? (tau), IFN-? (omega), and IFN-? (zeta). All type 1 IFNs bind to a specific cell surface receptor complex known as an IFN-?/? receptor (IFNAR), which consists of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 chains.

[0245] Interferons have been studied as cancer therapeutics due to the antitumor activity thereof, which exhibit two different effects, namely, tumor-intrinsic and/or immunomodulatory effects. IFNs regulate the expression of a number of genes that directly affect tumor cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, survival, migration and other specific functions. In some cases, in vitro treatment using type 1 IFN has a direct antiproliferative effect due to prolonging of all phases of the cell cycle by IFN. In some cases, CRKL, which is a type of CRK protein activated by type 1 IFN, interacts with the tumor suppressor, small G-protein RAP1A to inhibit RAS family GTPase, resulting in growth arrest of cancer cells. IFNs are known to regulate two major apoptotic responses. The two apoptotic responses are extrinsic (apoptotic receptor-mediated pathway) and intrinsic (mitochondrial) pathways. In response to type 1 IFN, upregulation of sensor protein activation (e.g., DR receptor) occurs, which causes apoptosis of tumor cells.

[0246] IFNs have extrinsic effects on tumors through regulation of processes such as angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and immunity. Both endogenous and exogenous type 1 IFNs play a major role in the activity of anticancer immunity. For example, type 1 IFNs enhance the activity of ?/? T cells, ?/? T cells, NK cells and dendritic cells, and inhibit the activity of immune-suppressive cells, for example, conversion of regulatory T cells, bone marrow-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages. Type 1 IFN also acts directly on tumor cells to improve antigen expression and up-regulate numerous immune-interacting molecules (e.g., stress ligands recognized by major histocompatibility complex class 1 (MHCI)) and germline-encoded immunoreceptors.

[0247] In one aspect, the method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of the ENPP1 inhibitor to a subject having cancer to treat the cancer of the subject. In one embodiment, the subject may be a subject diagnosed with or suspected of having cancer. Any suitable ENPP1 inhibitor may be used in the subject. In one embodiment, the cancer is selected from adrenal gland cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterus cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung (small and non-small cell) cancer, thyroid cancer, carcinoma, sarcoma, glioblastoma, melanoma, and head and neck cancer. In one embodiment, the cancer is lymphoma.

[0248] In one embodiment, the effective amount of the compound ranges from about 10 ng to about 100 mg, e.g., from about 10 ng to about 50 ng, from about 50 ng to about 150 ng, from about 150 ng to about 250 ng, from about 250 ng to about 500 ng, from about 500 ng to about 750 ng, from about 750 ng to about 1 ?g, from about 1 ?g to about 10 ?g, from about 10 ?g to about 50 ?g, from about 50 ?g to about 150 ?g, from about 150 ?g to about 250 ?g, from about 250 ?g to about 500 ?g, from about 500 ?g to about 750 ?g, from about 750 ?g to about 1 mg, from about 1 mg to about 50 mg, from about 1 mg to about 100 mg, or from about 50 mg to about 100 mg. The amount may be a single dose or a total daily dose. The total daily amount may range from 10 ng to 100 mg, or from 100 mg to about 500 mg, or from 500 mg to about 1,000 mg.

[0249] In one embodiment, the compound is administered in a single dose. In other embodiments, multiple doses are administered. When the multiple doses are administered over a period of time, the compound is administered twice a day (bid), once a day (qd), every other day (qod), every 3 days, 3 times a week (tiw), or twice a week (biw).

Experimental Example

[0769] The following experiments were conducted on the Examples 1 to 124 prepared as described above.

Experimental Example 1: ENPP1 Enzyme Assay with cGAMP Substrate

[0770] ENPP1 hydrolyzes nucleotides or nucleotide derivatives to produce nucleoside-5-monophosphate and pyrophosphate. In addition, ENPP1 hydrolyzes 2,3-cGAMP to produce 5-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and 5-guanosine monophosphate (GMP). AMP produced from the reaction is measured using the AMP-Glo? kit (Promega). The AMP-Glo? kit contains two reagents. The first reagent terminates the AMP-producing enzymatic reaction, removes ATP and converts the produced AMP into ADP. The second reagent converts ADP into ATP which is used to generate luminescence in the luciferase reaction. The amount of luminescence measured is proportional to the amount of AMP produced by ENPP1.

[0771] The final reaction solution contains 50 mM Tris (pH 8.5) buffer, 250 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM CaCl.sub.2), 1 ?M ZnCl.sub.2, 5% glycerol and 1% DMSO. Serially diluted ENPP1 inhibitors (typically in the range of 10 ?M to 0.5 nM) were pre-stored with human recombinant ENPP1 enzymes (R & D systems) at 3 ng/reaction and room temperature (RT) for 5 to 10 minutes. The reaction was initiated by addition of cGAMP (at a final concentration of 5 ?M) and reacted at 37? C. for 90 minutes. At the end of the reaction, 10 ?l of the AMP-Glo first reagent was added to stop the reaction and the result was stored at room temperature for 1 hour. After storage, 20 ?l of an AMP detection solution (a mixture of AMP-Glo II reagent and Kinase-Glo at a ratio of 1:100) was added and stored at room temperature for 1 hour. Luminescence signals were measured using a Victor? plate reader (Perkin Elmer). The maximal activity control (containing enzymes and substrates in the presence of 1% DMSO; MAX) and the minimal activity control (containing substrates and 1% DMSO; MIN) were evaluated simultaneously. In each experiment, serially diluted reference ENPP1 inhibitors were tested as well. IC.sub.50, indicating % residual activity versus compound concentration was determined by fitting inhibition curves using the 3-parameter analysis of GraphPad Prism? software. Serially diluted samples of one compound were tested two or more times and an average IC.sub.50 of each compound was calculated.

[0772] The experimental results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

Experimental Example 2

[0773] The following experiments were conducted on the Examples prepared as described above.

Experimental Example 2: HCT116-Dual Cell Luciferase Assay

[0774] HCT116-Dual? cells express genes encoding luciferase secreted under the control of the interferon-stimulated gene 54 (ISG54) promoter along with five interferon-stimulated response elements. The HCT116-Dual? cell line was used to measure and monitor the activity of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3), which induces production of type I interferon and relates to downstream signaling, and Lucia secreted in the culture medium was used to generate luminescence in a luciferase reaction.

[0775] HCT116-Dual? cells were cultured at 2?10.sup.4 cells/well (93.4 ?L) in a 96-well plate for one day in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.2-7.5). The cells were treated with 3.3 ?L of ENPP1 inhibitor (usually 10 ?M) and then 3.3 ?L of cGAMP (10 ?M) to set the final volume to 100 ?L (The final fraction of DMSO was 0.1%). The cells treated with ENPP1 inhibitor and cGAMP were cultured at 37? C. for 48 hours and 50 ?L of Quanti-Luc reaction solution was added to 20 ?L of cell culture medium to measure luciferase activity. The increase in interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) by the compound compared to cGAMP was determined as fold.
