Abstract
The disclosure provides novel chemical compounds useful as activators of PKR. PKR activating compounds are useful in the treatment of disease and disorders associated with modulation of PKR and/or PKM2, such as pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD).
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure relates to novel chemical compositions for activating pyruvate kinase (PKR).


BACKGROUND

Pyruvate Kinase (PK) converts phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to pyruvate and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), respectively, which is the final step in glycolysis. In humans, four PK isoforms are expressed by two structural genes. The PKLR gene encodes PKR and PKL, tissue specific isoforms expressed in erythroid cells and liver cells, respectively. The PKM gene codes for isoforms PKM1, expressed in brain and skeletal muscle, and PKM2 (M2-type pyruvate kinase), expressed in fetal and most adult tissues except erythroid cells.


Mutations in the PKLR gene can lead to pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD), an autosomal recessive disorder, which is the most frequent enzymatic defect of the glycolytic pathway in erythrocytes. Over 200 different mutations have been identified on the structural PKLR gene. Generally, most PKD patients are heterozygous with two different mutant alleles, but homozygous mutations have also been described. Clinical symptoms of PKD vary considerably from mild to severe anemia. Mutations can reduce PK enzymatic activity or decrease PK protein stability. Pathological manifestations are usually observed when enzyme activity falls below 25% normal PK activity, and severe disease has been associated with a high degree of reticulocytosis. Although the global incidence of PKD is unknown, it has been estimated at 51 cases per million in North America.


Currently, there is no definitive treatment for severe PKD. Although splenectomy can be clinically useful in patients with severe disease, in some cases, allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation is required. In these patients, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy might be a good and more effective treatment. Gene therapy strategies for PKD have been addressed in animal models demonstrating that introduction of the correct version of the human PKLR gene into hematopoietic stem cells using retroviral vectors alleviates the disease. Although bone marrow transplant (BMT) or gene therapy strategies would be definitive treatments of the disease, they have yet to be realized clinically, and important adverse effects are associated with both approaches.


There remains a need for strategies to improve the treatment of diseases related to PKR, such as PKD, including the discovery and development of PKR activating small molecules. PKR exists in both a dimeric and tetrameric state, but functions most efficiently as a tetramer. Small molecules have been shown to be capable of shifting the equilibrium of PKR to the tetrameric (most active) form, providing a mechanistic rationale for their use as therapy for PKD-associated hemolytic anemia. Thus, there is a need for PKR activating compounds, useful for treating diseases and disorders associated with modulation of PKR and/or PKM2.


SUMMARY

The disclosure relates in part to compounds and compositions useful for activating PKR, including the discovery of a novel compound active with wild type (wt) PKR and/or mutant isozyme forms of PKR. For example, compounds and methods provided herein can be used for activating wild type PKR isozyme and/or a mutant PKR isozyme. Examples of mutant PKR isozyme include G332S, G364D, T384M, G37E, R479H, R479K, R486W, R532W, R510Q, I90N, and R490W. The invention is based in part on the discovery of a novel compound demonstrating activation of (wt) PKR and the G332S and R510Q mutant forms of PKR.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING


FIG. 1 shows an exemplary dose-response curve for compounds disclosed herein. Dose-response curves may be generated using the standard four parameter fit algorithm of ActivityBase XE Runner to determine MAX % Fold, MIN % Fold, slope and AC50. MAX % Fold is the highest % fold increase observed at any concentration of compound, and MIN % Fold is the lowest % fold increase observed at any concentration of compound. The AC50 value for a compound is the concentration (μM) corresponding to the midway between the maximum and minimum values of the four parameter logistic curve fit (i.e., at which the % fold increase along the four parameter logistic curve fit is halfway between MAX % Fold and MIN % Fold (% Fold Midpoint). Another useful parameter for evaluating compounds of this disclosure is % Fold@1.54 μM, which is the % fold increase at a compound concentration of 1.5 μM (e.g., 1.54 μM). X-axis and y-axis not necessarily to scale.

Methods of Using the Disclosed Compounds


Another aspect of the present disclosure is the use of compounds of Formula I, II, III, and IV. Compounds of Formula I, II, III, and IV are useful in medicine. For example, compounds and compositions described herein are activators of PKR. Methods of treatment (e.g., by activating PKR and/or PKM2) can comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of (i) a compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or (ii) a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, a method of treating a disease associated with modulation of PKR comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method of treating pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a method of treating PKD-associated hemolytic anemia comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein.


A method of treatment can comprise administering an amount of a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formulae I, II, III and/or IV) sufficient to provide a blood concentration of 2,3-DPG that is reduced by at least 15% relative to the reference standard (e.g., from about 15% to about 60%). In some embodiments, the blood concentration of 2,3-DPG is reduced by at least about 15%, by at least about 20%, by at least about 25%, by at least about 30%, by at least about 35%, by at least about 40%, by at least about 45%, by at least about 50%, by at least about 55%, by at least about 60%. In some embodiments, the analysis is performed by sample analysis of bodily fluid, such as blood, by e.g., mass spectroscopy, e.g. LC-MS.


Compounds and compositions described herein are useful as activators of PKR mutants having lower activities compared to the wild type. Such mutations in PKR can affect enzyme activity (catalytic efficiency), regulatory properties (modulation by fructose bisphosphate (FBP)/ATP), and/or thermostability of the enzyme. Examples of such mutations include G332S, G364D, T384M, G37E, R479H, R479K, R486W, R532W, R510Q, and R490W. The activating activity of the present compounds against PKR mutants may be tested following a method described in Example 24. Compounds described herein are also activators of wild type PKR.


A method of treating a patient suffering from or susceptible to a disease or disorder associated with reduced PKM2 activity or reduced glycolysis can include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein to a patient in need thereof. The method can include the step of administering an effective amount of a compound described herein to the patient in need thereof, thereby treating, preventing or ameliorating the disease or disorder in the patient. In certain embodiment the compound described herein is provided in a pharmaceutical composition. In certain embodiments, the method includes the step of identifying or selecting a patient who would benefit from activation of PKM2 prior to treatment. Identifying or selecting such a patient can be on the basis of the level of PKM2 activity in a cell of the patient. The compound can be a compound described herein administered at a dosage and frequency sufficient to increase lactate production or oxidative phosphorylation. A method for treating diseases or conditions that are associated with increased 2,3-diphosphoglycerate levels can include administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of (1) a compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof, (2) a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or hydrate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.


The compounds disclosed herein can be added directly to whole blood or packed cells extracorporeally or be provided to the subject (e.g., the patient). Without being bound by theory, a decrease in the level of 2, 3-DPG concentration induces a leftward shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve and shifts the allosteric equilibrium to the R, or oxygenated state, thus producing a therapeutic inhibition of the intracellular polymerization that underlies sickling by increasing oxygen affinity due to the 2,3-DPG depletion, thereby stabilizing the more soluble oxy-hemoglobin. In another embodiment, to regulate 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, a compound, composition or pharmaceutical composition described herein is added directly to whole blood or packed cells extracorporeally or be provided to the subject (e.g., the patient).


A method of increasing the level of PKM2 activity and/or glycolysis in a patient can include the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein to a patient in need thereof. The method can comprise the step of administering an effective amount of a compound described herein to the patient in need thereof, thereby increasing the level of PKM2 activity and/or glycolysis in the patient. In some embodiments, a compound or a composition described herein is used to maintain PKM2 in its active conformation or activate pyruvate kinase activity in proliferating cells as a means to divert glucose metabolites into catabolic rather than anabolic processes in the patient.


A compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV) can activate wild type PKR and/or mutant PKRs. Some examples of the mutant PKRs include G332S, G364D, T384M, G37E, R479H, R479K, R486W, R532W, R510Q, 190N, and R490W. Accordingly, a patient and/or subject can be selected for treatment using a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV by first evaluating the patient and/or subject to determine whether the subject carries a mutation in PKR (for examples, one of the mutations as described herein), and if the subject is determined to be carrying a mutation in PKR thus is in need of activation of the activity of the mutant PKR, then administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV. A subject can be evaluated as carrying a mutation in PKR using methods known in the art. The subject can also be monitored, for example, subsequent to administration of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV. A patient can be monitored for evaluation of certain PK/PD parameters of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV such as levels of such compound, levels of 2,3-DPG, or levels of ATP.


In one aspect, the present invention provides a method of treating a subject, the method comprising: administering to the subject a compound of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV; and acquiring a value for the level of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV, the level of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), the level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or the activity of PKR in the subject, to thereby evaluate the subject. The value for the level of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV can be acquired by analyzing the plasma concentration of a compound of Formulae I, II, III, and/or IV. In some embodiments, the level of 2,3-DPG is acquired by analyzing the blood concentration of 2,3-DPG. The level of ATP can be acquired by analyzing the blood concentration of ATP. The activity of PKR can be acquired by analyzing the blood concentration of a 13C-label in the blood. For example, 13C-labeled glucose is administered to a subject, and incorporated into certain glycolytic intermediates in the blood.


A method of treatment can comprise administering an amount of a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formulae I, II, III and/or IV) sufficient to provide a blood concentration of 2,3-DPG that is reduced by at least 15% relative to the reference standard (e.g; from about 15% to about 60%). In some embodiments, the blood concentration of 2,3-DPG is reduced by at least about 15%, by at least about 20%, by at least about 25%, by at least about 30%, by at least about 35%, by at least about 40%, by at least about 45%, by at least about 50%, by at least about 55%, by at least about 60%. In some embodiments, the analysis is performed by sample analysis of bodily fluid, such as blood, by e.g., mass spectroscopy, e.g. LC-MS.


The compounds described herein can activate mutant PKRs. Accordingly, a patient and/or subject can be selected for treatment using a compound described herein by first evaluating the patient and/or subject to determine whether the subject carries a mutation in PKR, and if the subject is determined to be carrying a mutation in PKR thus is in need of activation of the activity of the mutant PKR, then optionally administering to the subject a compound described herein. A subject can be evaluated as carrying a mutation in PKR using methods known in the art.

A 0.2 M solution of 1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (158 μL, 31.5 μmol) in dioxane was added to a 1.5 mL vial charged with a 0.2 M solution of tert-butyl 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxylate hydrochloride (150 μL, 30 μmol) in a solvent mixture of acetonitrile/DIEA (90:10). The reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. with shaking for 2 hours. Dioxane (200 μL), methanol (200 μL), and a solution of 4 N HCl in dioxane (100 μL, 0.200 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 50° C. with shaking for an additional 2 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. ACN (200 uL) was added to the vial. The vial was shaken for 15 minutes to resuspend the residue. Neat DIEA (25 μL, 0.143 mmol) and a 0.2 M solution of 3-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-2-oxobutanoic acid (165 μL, 33 μmol) in dioxane was added to the vial, followed by a 0.2 M solution of HBTU (165 μL, 33 μmol) in ACN. The reaction was heated at 50° C. with shaking for an additional 2 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was mixed with 1 N NaOH (0.5 mL) and extracted with 3:1 EtOAc/ACN (2×0.5 mL). The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. The compound was purified using mass-triggered HPLC to give 2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)-1-(5-((1,2-dimethyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)sulfonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrol-2(1H)-yl)propan-1-one (7.5 mg, 55% yield).

To a 1.5 mL vial was added a 0.2 M solution of tert-butyl 3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxylate hydrochloride (100 μL, 20 μmol) in ACN, a 0.2 M solution of 2-(isocyanatomethyl)furan (110 μL, 22 μmol) in dioxane, and neat DIEA (10 μL, 57 μmol) to give a brown suspension. The reaction was shaken at RT for 2 hours. 4 M HCl in dioxane (50.0 μL, 0.200 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at 50° C. with shaking for an additional 2 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and ACN (0.2 μL) was added to the vial along with DIEA (25 μL, 0.143 mmol). The vial was shaken for 15 minutes to resuspend the residue, then a 0.2 M solution of pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride (110 μL, 22 μmol) in dioxane was added. The reaction was heated at 50° C. with shaking for an additional 2 hours. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was mixed with 1 N NaOH (0.5 mL) and extracted with 3:1 EtOAc/ACN (2×0.5 mL). The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The compound was purified using mass-triggered HPLC to yield N-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-5-(pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxamide (1.9 mg, 5.08 μmol, 25% yield).

Example 24. Luminescence Biochemical Assay

In some embodiments, a PKR Activating Compound refers to a compound having one or more characteristics when tested according to the following Luminescence Assay Protocol of Example 24 performed with wild type (wt) PKR and/or any one or more of G332S mutant form of PKR or R510Q mutant form of PKR: (1) an AC50 value of less than 40 μM (e.g., compounds with AC50 values of “+”, or “+++” in Table 13); (2) a maximum % Fold (MAX % Fold) value of greater than 75%; and/or (3) a % Fold value at 1.54 μM compound concentration (% Fold@1.54 μM) of at least 75%. In some embodiments, a PKR Activating Compound can have: (1) an AC50 value of less than 0.1 μM (e.g., compounds with AC50 values of “+++” in Table 13), 0.1-1.0 μM (e.g., compounds with AC50 values of “++” in Table 13), or 1.01-40 μM (e.g., compounds with AC50 values of “+” in Table 13); (2) a MAX % Fold of 75%-250%, 250-500%, or 75%-500%; and/or (3) a % Fold@1.54 μM of 75%-250%, 250-500%, or 75%-500%. In some embodiments, a PKR Activating Compound has (1) an AC50 value of less than 1.0 μM; (2) a MAX % Fold of 75%-500%; and/or (3) a % Fold@1.54 μM of 75%-500%.


The phosphorylation of Adenosine-5′-diphosphate (ADP) by various mutants of PKR was determined by the Kinase Glo Plus Assay (Promega) in the presence or absence of FBP [D-Fructose-1,6-diphosphate; BOC Sciences, CAS: 81028-91-3] as follows. Unless otherwise indicated, all reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. All reagents were prepared in buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl, 100 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, and 0.01% Triton X100, 0.03% BSA, and 1 mM DTT. Enzyme and PEP [Phospho(enol) pyruvic acid] were added at 2× to all wells of an assay-ready plate containing serial dilutions of test compounds or DMSO vehicle. Final enzyme concentrations for PKR(wt), PKR(R510Q), and PKR(G332S) were 0.8 nM, 0.8 nM, and 10 nM respectively. Final PEP concentration was 100 μM. The Enzyme/PEP mixture was incubated with compounds for 30 minutes at RT before the assay was initiated with the addition of 2×ADP [Adenosine-5′-diphosphate] and KinaseGloPlus. Final concentration of ADP was 100 μM. Final concentration of KinaseGloPlus was 12.5%. For assays containing FBP, that reagent is added at 30 μM upon reaction initiation. Reactions were allowed to progress for 45 minutes at RT until luminescence was recorded by the BMG PHERAstar FS Multilabel Reader. All compounds were tested in triplicate at concentrations ranging from 42.5 μM to 2.2 nM in 0.83% DMSO.


Luminescence values were converted to % Fold increase by normalizing to the average of the DMSO control and multiplying by 100. Max, min, slope and AC50 were determined by the standard four parameter fit algorithm of ActivityBase XE Runner. Compounds were evaluated with three parameters—AC50, MAX % Fold, and % Fold@1.54 μM (FIG. 1). The AC50 value for a compound is the concentration (μM) corresponding to the midway between the maximum and minimum values of the four parameter logistic curve fit (i.e., at which the % fold increase along the four parameter logistic curve fit is halfway between MAX % Fold and MIN % Fold (% Fold Midpoint)), MAX % Fold is the highest fold increase observed at any concentration of compound, and % Fold@1.54 μM is the fold increase at a compound concentration of 1.54 μM. The parameter % Fold@1.54 μM was selected to capture elements of both the AC50 and MAX % Fold and to provide a ranking based on both potency and effect. The compound concentration of 1.54 μM was chosen as one that can optimally differentiate the set of compounds based on the range of activities observed.


As set forth in Table 13 below, AC50 values (columns A, D, G) are defined as follows: ≤0.1 μM (+++); >0.1 μM and ≤1.0 μM (++); >1.0 μM and ≤40 μM (+); >40 μM (0). Max % FOLD values (columns B, E, H) are defined as follows: ≤75% (+); >75% and ≤250% (++); >250% and ≤500% (+++). % Fold@1.54 μM values (columns C, F, J) are defined as follows: ≤75% (+); >75% and ≤250% (++); >250% and ≤50000 (+++).
