8. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of claim 5 , wherein (i) l is 1, and each of m, n, p, q, r, t, u, v, and w, independently is 0, (ii) m is 1, and each of l, n, p, q, r, t, u, v, and w, independently is 0, (iii) n is 1, and each of l, m, p, q, r, t, u, v, and w, independently is 0, (iv) u is 1, and each of l, m, n, p, q, r, t, v, and w, independently is 0, (v) v is 1, and each of l, m, n, p, q, r, t, u, and w, independently is 0, (vi) w is 1, and each of l, m, n, p, q, r, t, u, and v, independently is 0, or (vii) one of q, r, and t is 1.
9. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of Formula (I):
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein
each of l, m, and n, independently is 0, 1, or 2,
each of p, q, r, t, u, v, and w, independently is 0 or 1, and
the sum of l, m, n, p, q, r, t, u, v, and w is 1, 2, or 3.
10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 , wherein the compound of Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is in an isolated form.
11. A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 .
12. A method of treating hematological cancer comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 .
13. A method of treating a disorder mediated by a translocation of a gene on chromosome 11q23, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 .
14. A method of treating a disorder mediated by DOT1L-mediated protein methylation, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 .
15. A method of treating leukemia comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of claim 9 .
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the leukemia is acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia or mixed lineage leukemia.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the leukemia is characterized by a chromosomal rearrangement.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein said chromosomal rearrangement is chimeric fusion of mixed lineage leukemia gene (MLL) or partial tandem duplication of MLL (MLL-PTD).
19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the subject has an increased level of HOXA9, Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), MEIS1, and/or DOT1L.
20. A method for treating leukemia in a subject comprising:
1) obtaining a sample from the subject;
2) (a) detecting the level of HOXA9, FLT3, MEIS1, and/or DOT1L, wherein an increased level of HOXA9, FLT3, MEIS1, and/or DOT1L indicates the subject is responsive to a compound of Formula (I):
or
(b) detecting the presence of a genetic lesion of MLL in the sample; and
