(414) Biological Assays
(415) Stable Cell Line Generation a) Stable STING expressing cells—Stable HEK293T STING-expressing cell lines were generated using plasmids purchased from Invivogen, CA, USA, that contain STING cDNA cloned into the pUNO-1 vector under hEF.sub.1-HTLV promoter and containing the Blasticidin selection cassette. The plasmids hSTING(R232), hSTING(H232), hSTING(HAQ) were directly procured from Invivogen while hSTING (AQ) and hSTING (Q) were derived from hSTING(HAQ) and hSTING (R232) plasmids respectively by using a PCR based site directed mutagenesis method. These vectors were individually transfected into HEK293T cells using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) and transfected cells were selected under Blasticidin selection. These transfected cells were further subjected to clonal selection using the limiting dilution method to obtain clonally pure populations of HEK cells transfected with each of the above mentioned human STING variants. Only those clones were selected in which ligand independent activation of STING was minimal. b) Stable Luciferase reporter gene expressing cells—Stable HEK293T Luciferase reporter gene expressing cell lines were generated using pCDNA4 plasmids under an IRF-inducible promoter. This promoter is comprised of five tandem interferon-stimulated response elements (ISRE) fused to an ISG54 minimal promoter. This vector was transfected into HEK293T cells using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) and transfected cells were selected under Zeocin selection. These transfected cells were further subjected to clonal selection using the limiting dilution method to obtain clonally pure populations of HEK cells transfected the Luciferase reporter construct. Only those clones were selected in which ligand independent induction of luciferase was minimal.

(432) Western Blot Assay
(433) 5×10.sup.5 clonally selected HEK293T-hSTING-Luciferase cells were seeded in 24-well plates in 500 μl growth medium and stimulated with novel compounds or a vehicle control (VC), i.e. the solvent with no compound. After 2 hr of stimulation cells were harvested through centrifugation and cell pellets were lysed in RIPA buffer (20 mM tris-Cl, 150 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1% NP40, 0.05% SDS) containing Ix phosphatase inhibitor cocktail 3 (Sigma) and Ix protease inhibitor (Roche) to extract the soluble fraction of protein. 10 μg of extracted protein was electrophoresed in 10% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred onto Immobilon-P membranes (Millipore). Blots were incubated with antibodies specific for phosphorylated STING (Ser366), phosphorylated IRF3 (Ser396), total STING, ACTIN (Cell Signaling) and IRF3 (Abcam). Anti-rabbit HRP label secondary antibody (Abcam) and Clarity Max™ western ECL substrate (Biorad) were used for visualization of bands with the help of the BioRad XRS plus imager. The assays are shown in
(434) Analysis of Cytokines by ELISA
(435) Freshly isolated 2×10.sup.5 human PBMCs using Histopaque (Sigma) from different healthy donors were stimulated with novel compounds (10 μM) in 200 μl growth medium for 6 hr. Post treatment supernatant media was harvested and stored at −80° C. in different aliquots for secreted Cytokine analysis. The cytokines IFNβ, IFNα, IL6, CXCL10 and TNFα were measured using the respective manufacturers recommendations. IFNβ, IFNα were purchased from PBL Assay science, IL6, CXCL10 were procured from Abcam and TNFα was purchased from R&D systems. The results are shown in
(436) In Vivo Tumor Experiments
(437) 1×10.sup.6 CT26 tumor cells stably expressing R232.hSTING were injected subcutaneously in 100 μl RPMI on the right side of the flank of Balb/C mice. Following tumor implantation, when the average tumor size was around 50 mm.sup.3 to 70 mm.sup.3, mice were randomized into different groups. Total number of animals per group was around 5 to 8. New chemical entities which were tested in this tumor model were formulated in 100% PEG400. For the treatment groups compounds were dosed intra-tumorally thrice in a week. Control animals were injected with vehicle by the same route and same schedule of compound dosing, and are identified as vehicle controls (VC). Growth of the tumors was measured regularly during the course of the study, and the results are shown in
CONCLUSION
(438) The inventors have synthesised a large number of compounds which fall within the general formula (I). They have shown that these compounds activate the STING protein, and so could be used to treat a number of diseases, including cancer.
