BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside compound comprising a complex of adenine and a ribose sugar molecule (ribofuranose). Adenosine occurs naturally in mammals and plays important roles in several biochemical processes, including energy transfer (as adenosine triphosphate and adenosine monophosphate) and signal transduction (as cyclic adenosine monophosphate). Adenosine also serves in processes associated with vasodilation, including cardiac vasodilation, and acts as a neuromodulator (e.g., it is thought to be involved in promoting sleep). In addition to its involvement in these biochemical processes, adenosine is used as a therapeutic antiarrhythmic agent to treat, for example, supraventricular tachycardia. As discussed further herein, tumors evade host responses by inhibiting immune function and promoting tolerance, and adenosine has been shown to play an important role in mediating tumor evasion of the immune system. Adenosine signaling through A2ARs and A2BRs, expressed on a variety of immune cell subsets and endothelial cells, has been established as having an important role in protecting tissues during inflammatory responses. As such, under certain conditions adenosine protects tumors from immune destruction (see, e.g., Fishman, P, et al. (2009) Handb Exp Pharmacol 193:399-441).


The adenosine receptors are a class of purinergic G protein-coupled receptors with adenosine as the endogenous ligand. The four types of adenosine receptors in humans are referred to as A1, A2A, A2B and A3. Modulation of A1 has been proposed for the management and treatment of, for example, neurological disorders, asthma, and heart and renal failure; A2A antagonists have been proposed for the management and treatment of, for example, Parkinson's disease; modulation of A2B has been proposed for the management and treatment of, for example, chronic pulmonary diseases, including asthma; and modulation of A3 has been proposed for the management and treatment of, for example, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, glaucoma, cancer, and stroke.


Historically, modulators of adenosine receptors have been nonselective. This is acceptable in certain indications, such as where the endogenous agonist adenosine, which acts on all four adenosine receptors in cardiac tissue, is administered parenterally for the treatment of severe tachycardia. However, the use of sub-type selective adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists provides the potential for achieving desired outcomes while minimizing or eliminating adverse effects.


As such, there is a need in the art for sub-type selective adenosine receptor agonists. The present invention addresses this need and provides related advantages as well.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds that modulate the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR), and compositions (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions) comprising the compounds. Such compounds, including methods of their synthesis, and compositions are described in detail below.


The present invention also relates to the use of such compounds and compositions for the treatment and/or prevention of a diverse array of diseases, disorders and conditions mediated, in whole or in part, by the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR). Such diseases, disorders and conditions are described in detail elsewhere herein. Unless otherwise indicated, when uses of the compounds of the present invention are described herein, it is to be understood that such compounds may be in the form of a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition).


As discussed hereafter, although the compounds of the present invention are believed to effect their activity by inhibition the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR), a precise understanding of the compounds' underlying mechanism of action is not required to practice the invention. It is envisaged that the compounds may alternatively effect their activity through direct or indirect inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. It is also envisaged that the compounds may effect their activity through inhibition of both A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) as well as adenylyl cyclase. Although the compounds of the invention are generally referred to herein as adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) inhibitors, it is to be understood that the term “A2AR/A2BR inhibitors” encompasses compounds that act individually through inhibition of A2AR, A2BR or adenylyl cyclase, and/or compounds that act through inhibition of A2AR, A2BR, and adenylyl cyclase.


The A2A and A2B cell surface adenosine receptors are found to be upregulated in various tumor cells. Thus, antagonists of the A2A and/or A2B adenosine receptors represent a new class of promising oncology therapeutics.


Activation of the A2A adenosine receptor results in inhibition of the immune response to tumors via suppression of T regulatory cell function and inhibition of natural killer cell cytotoxicity and tumor-specific CD4+/CD8+ activity. Therefore, inhibition of this receptor subtype by specific antagonists may enhance immunotherapeutics in cancer therapy. Activation of the A2B adenosine receptor plays a role in the development of tumors via upregulation of the expression levels of angiogenic factors in microvascular endothelial cells. [See, e.g., P. Fishman et al., Handb Exp Pharmacol (2009); 193:399-441]. Moreover, adenosine receptor 2A blockade has been shown to increase the efficacy of anti-PD-1 through enhanced anti-tumor T cell responses (P. Beavis, et al., Cancer Immunol Res DOI: 10.1158/2326-6066.CIR-14-0211 Published 11 Feb. 2015). A more comprehensive discussion of the roles of the A2ARs and the A2BRs is set forth hereafter.


Adenosine 2A Receptor (A2AR)

The A2AR (also referred to as ADORA2A) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), family members of which possess seven transmembrane alpha helices. Based on its crystallographic structure, the A2AR comprises a ligand binding pocket distinct from that of other structurally determined GPCRs (e.g., the beta-2 adrenergic receptor).


As set forth elsewhere herein, adenosine is involved in mediating tumor evasion of the immune system. The A2AR plays a critical, nonredundant role in mediating adenosine-induced anti-inflammatory responses. The A2AR negatively regulates immune responses, and thus pharmacologic inhibition of A2AR activation has been demonstrated to be a viable means of enhancing immunotherapy.


As noted above, activation of the A2AR impacts the adaptive immune response; by way of example, the A2AR protects the host from excessive tissue destruction by not only acutely inhibiting T-cell function, but by also promoting the development of regulatory T cells. Because A2AR activation is a potent inhibitor of adaptive immune responses, tumor-derived adenosine has been implicated in blocking antitumor immunity.


In addition to its other roles, the A2AR has been implicated in selectively enhancing anti-inflammatory cytokines, promoting the upregulation of PD-1 and CTLA-4, promoting the generation of LAG-3 and Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, and mediating the inhibition of regulatory T cells. PD-1, CTLA-4 and other immune checkpoints are discussed further herein. As all of these immunosuppressive properties have been identified as mechanisms by which tumors evade host responses, a cancer immunotherapeutic regimen that includes an A2AR antagonist may result in enhanced tumor immunotherapy. [See generally, Naganuma, M., et al. (2006) J Immunol 177:2765-769].


A2AR antagonists likely play an important role in chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Mechanistically, the concomitant administration of A2AR antagonists during chemotherapy or radiation therapy has been proposed to lead to the expansion of tumor-specific T cells while simultaneously preventing the induction of tumor-specific regulatory T cells. Furthermore, combining A2AR antagonists with tumor vaccines is thought to provide at least an additive effect in view of their divergent mechanisms of action. Finally, A2AR antagonists may most effectively be used in combination with tumor vaccines and other checkpoint blockers. By way of example, blocking PD-1 engagement as well as inhibiting the A2AR might mitigate the ability of tumors to turn off tumor-specific effector T cells (see, e.g., Fishman, P, et al. (2009) Handb Exp Pharmacol 193:399-441). Moreover, adenosine signaling through the A2AR receptor has been found to be a promising negative feedback loop, and preclinical studies have confirmed that blockade of A2AR activation can markedly enhance anti-tumor immunity (Sitkovsky, M V, et al. (2014) Cancer Immun Res 2:598-605).


Adenosine 2B Receptor (A2BR)

The A2bR (also referred to as ADORA2B) is a GPCR found in many different cell types. It requires higher concentrations of adenosine for activation than other adenosine receptor subtypes (e.g., A1R, A2AR, and A3R) (Fredholm B B, et al. (2001) Biochem Pharmacol 61:443-448). Such conditions have been seen in, for example, tumors where hypoxia is commonly observed. Contrary to the other adenosine receptor subtypes, the A2BR may play an important role in pathophysiological conditions associated with massive adenosine release. Thus, selective blockade or stimulation of this adenosine receptor subtype may not interfere with the numerous important physiological functions of adenosine mediated via other adenosine receptor subtypes. However, the pathway leading to A2BR-mediated inhibition is not fully understood.


Angiogenesis represents a pivotal mechanism for tumor growth. The angiogenesis process is highly regulated by an array of angiogenic factors and is triggered by adenosine under particular circumstances that are associated with hypoxia. The A2BR is expressed in human microvascular endothelial cells, where it plays an important role in the regulation of the expression of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In certain tumor types, hypoxia has been observed to cause an upregulation of A2BRs, suggesting that A2BRs play a critical role in mediating the effects of adenosine on angiogenesis. Thus, blockade of A2BRs may limit tumor growth by limiting the oxygen supply to the tumor cells. Furthermore, experiments involving adenylate cyclase activation indicate that A2BRs are the sole adenosine receptor subtype in certain tumor cells, suggesting that A2BR antagonists may exhibit effects on particular tumor types (see, e.g., Feoktistov, I. et al. (2003) Circ Res 92:485-492).


Recent data complicate an understanding of the precise role of A2BR modulators. As discussed above, data confirm that A2BRs play an important role in mediating the effects of adenosine on tumor growth and progression. Indeed, inhibition of angiogenesis and inhibition of ERK 1/2 phosphorylation represent the most interesting effects for a potential anticancer treatment based on A2BR as a target. However, while inhibition of angiogenesis requires the use of A2BR antagonists, inhibition of growth signaling via other clinically relevant pathways (e.g., the MAP kinase pathway) might be achieved through treatment with A2BR agonists (see, e.g., Graham, S. et al. (2001) Eur J Pharmaol 420:19-26). The results of additional experimentation may indicate that both agonists and antagonists will provide useful options for treatment in combination with other therapeutic measures if used at different stages of the disease and its treatment.

Non limiting examples of cycloheteroalkyl groups include pyrrolidine, imidazolidine, pyrazolidine, butyrolactam, valerolactam, imidazolidinone, hydantoin, dioxolane, phthalimide, piperidine, 1,4-dioxane, morpholine, thiomorpholine, thiomorpholine-S-oxide, thiomorpholine-S,S-oxide, piperazine, pyran, pyridone, 3-pyrroline, thiopyran, pyrone, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrothiophene, quinuclidine, and the like. A cycloheteroalkyl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a ring carbon or a heteroatom.


As used herein, a wavy line, “custom-character”, that intersects a single, double or triple bond in any chemical structure depicted herein, represent the point attachment of the single, double, or triple bond to the remainder of the molecule. Additionally, a bond extending to the center of a ring (e.g., a phenyl ring) is meant to indicate attachment at any of the available ring vertices. One of skill in the art will understand that multiple substituents shown as being attached to a ring will occupy ring vertices that provide stable compounds and are otherwise sterically compatible. For a divalent component, a representation is meant to include either orientation (forward or reverse). For example, the group “—C(O)NH—” is meant to include a linkage in either orientation: —C(O)NH— or —NHC(O)—, and similarly, “—O—CH2CH2—” is meant to include both —O—CH2CH2— and —CH2CH2—O—.


The terms “halo” or “halogen,” by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as “haloalkyl,” are meant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term “C1-4 haloalkyl” is mean to include trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3-bromopropyl, and the like.

R′, R″ and R″′ each independently refer to hydrogen, unsubstituted C1-8 alkyl, unsubstituted aryl, aryl substituted with 1-3 halogens, C1-s alkoxy or C1-8 thioalkoxy groups, or unsubstituted aryl-C1-4 alkyl groups. When R′ and R″ are attached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with the nitrogen atom to form a 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring. For example, —NR′R″ is meant to include 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl.


Optional substituents for the cycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl radicals can be a variety of groups selected from: alkyl optionally substituted with C(O)OR′, halogen, —OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, —SiR′R″R″′, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R″′, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NH—C(NH2)═NH, —NR′C(NH2)═NH, —NH—C(NH2)═NR′, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NR′S(O)2R″, —CN (cyano), —NO2, aryl, aryloxy and oxo.

Similarly, optional substituents for the aryl and heteroaryl groups are varied and are generally selected from: -halogen, —OR′, —OC(O)R′, —NR′R″, —SR′, —R′, —CN, —NO2, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —C(O)R′, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NR—C(O)NR″R″′, —NH—C(NH2)═NH, —NR′C(NH2)═NH, —NH—C(NH2)═NR′, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NR′S(O)2R″, —N3, perfluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, and perfluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on the aromatic ring system; and where R′, R″ and R″′ are independently selected from hydrogen, C1-s alkyl, C1-8 haloalkyl, C3-6 cycloalkyl, C2-8 alkenyl and C2-8 alkynyl. Other suitable substituents include each of the above aryl substituents attached to a ring atom by an alkylene tether of from 1-6 carbon atoms.


Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -T-C(O)—(CH2)q-U-, wherein T and U are independently —NH—, —O—, —CH2— or a single bond, and q is an integer of from 0 to 2. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -A-(CRfRg)r-B-, wherein A and B are independently —CH2—, —O—, —NH—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —S(O)2NR′— or a single bond, r is an integer of from 1 to 3, and Rf and Rg are each independently H of halogen. One of the single bonds of the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula —(CH2)s—X—(CH2)t—, where s and t are independently integers of from 0 to 3, and X is —O—, —NR′—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, or —S(O)2NR′—. The substituent R′ in —NR′— and —S(O)2NR′— is selected from hydrogen or unsubstituted C1-6 alkyl.


As used herein, the term “heteroatom” is meant to include oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S) and silicon (Si).


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of the active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of salts derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc and the like. Salts derived from pharmaceutically-acceptable organic bases include salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, including substituted amines, cyclic amines, naturally-occurring amines and the like, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2-dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-ethylmorpholine, N-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine and the like.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like (see, for example, Berge, S. M., et al, “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts.


The neutral forms of the compounds may be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention. In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds which are in a prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent. Prodrugs are described in more detail elsewhere herein.

In general, all physical forms are equivalent for the uses contemplated by the present invention and are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.


Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, geometric isomers, regioisomers and individual isomers (e.g., separate enantiomers) are all intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present invention. When a stereochemical depiction is shown, it is meant to refer the compound in which one of the isomers is present and substantially free of the other isomer. ‘Substantially free of’ another isomer indicates at least an 80/20 ratio of the two isomers, more preferably 90/10, or 95/5 or more. In some embodiments, one of the isomers will be present in an amount of at least 99%.


The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. Unnatural proportions of an isotope may be defined as ranging from the amount found in nature to an amount consisting of 100% of the atom in question. For example, the compounds may incorporate radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C), or non-radioactive isotopes, such as deuterium (2H) or carbon-13 (13C).

The terms “patient” or “subject” are used interchangeably to refer to a human or a non-human animal (e.g., a mammal).


The terms “administration”, “administer” and the like, as they apply to, for example, a subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid, refer to contact of, for example, an inhibitor of A2AR/A2BR, a pharmaceutical composition comprising same, or a diagnostic agent to the subject, cell, tissue, organ, or biological fluid. In the context of a cell, administration includes contact (e.g., in vitro or ex vivo) of a reagent to the cell, as well as contact of a reagent to a fluid, where the fluid is in contact with the cell.


The terms “treat”, “treating”, treatment” and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering an inhibitor of A2AR/A2BR or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated after a disease, disorder or condition, or a symptom thereof, has been diagnosed, observed, and the like so as to eliminate, reduce, suppress, mitigate, or ameliorate, either temporarily or permanently, at least one of the underlying causes of a disease, disorder, or condition afflicting a subject, or at least one of the symptoms associated with a disease, disorder, condition afflicting a subject. Thus, treatment includes inhibiting (e.g., arresting the development or further development of the disease, disorder or condition or clinical symptoms association therewith) an active disease.


The term “in need of treatment” as used herein refers to a judgment made by a physician or other caregiver that a subject requires or will benefit from treatment. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors that are in the realm of the physician's or caregiver's expertise.


The terms “prevent”, “preventing”, “prevention” and the like refer to a course of action (such as administering an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor or a pharmaceutical composition comprising same) initiated in a manner (e.g., prior to the onset of a disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof) so as to prevent, suppress, inhibit or reduce, either temporarily or permanently, a subject's risk of developing a disease, disorder, condition or the like (as determined by, for example, the absence of clinical symptoms) or delaying the onset thereof, generally in the context of a subject predisposed to having a particular disease, disorder or condition. In certain instances, the terms also refer to slowing the progression of the disease, disorder or condition or inhibiting progression thereof to a harmful or otherwise undesired state.


The term “in need of prevention” as used herein refers to a judgment made by a physician or other caregiver that a subject requires or will benefit from preventative care. This judgment is made based on a variety of factors that are in the realm of a physician's or caregiver's expertise.


The phrase “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the administration of an agent to a subject, either alone or as part of a pharmaceutical composition and either in a single dose or as part of a series of doses, in an amount capable of having any detectable, positive effect on any symptom, aspect, or characteristic of a disease, disorder or condition when administered to the subject. The therapeutically effective amount can be ascertained by measuring relevant physiological effects, and it can be adjusted in connection with the dosing regimen and diagnostic analysis of the subject's condition, and the like. By way of example, measurement of the serum level of an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor (or, e.g., a metabolite thereof) at a particular time post-administration may be indicative of whether a therapeutically effective amount has been used.


The phrase “in a sufficient amount to effect a change” means that there is a detectable difference between a level of an indicator measured before (e.g., a baseline level) and after administration of a particular therapy. Indicators include any objective parameter (e.g., serum concentration) or subjective parameter (e.g., a subject's feeling of well-being).


The term “small molecules” refers to chemical compounds having a molecular weight that is less than about 10 kDa, less than about 2 kDa, or less than about 1 kDa. Small molecules include, but are not limited to, inorganic molecules, organic molecules, organic molecules containing an inorganic component, molecules comprising a radioactive atom, and synthetic molecules. Therapeutically, a small molecule may be more permeable to cells, less susceptible to degradation, and less likely to elicit an immune response than large molecules.


The term “ligand” refers to, for example, a peptide, a polypeptide, a membrane-associated or membrane-bound molecule, or a complex thereof, that can act as an agonist or antagonist of a receptor. A ligand encompasses natural and synthetic ligands, e.g., cytokines, cytokine variants, analogs, muteins, and binding compositions derived from antibodies, as well as small molecules. The term also encompasses an agent that is neither an agonist nor antagonist, but that can bind to a receptor without significantly influencing its biological properties, e.g., signaling or adhesion. Moreover, the term includes a membrane-bound ligand that has been changed by, e.g., chemical or recombinant methods, to a soluble version of the membrane-bound ligand. A ligand or receptor may be entirely intracellular, that is, it may reside in the cytosol, nucleus, or some other intracellular compartment. The complex of a ligand and receptor is termed a “ligand-receptor complex.”


The terms “inhibitors” and “antagonists”, or “activators” and “agonists” refer to inhibitory or activating molecules, respectively, for example, for the activation of, e.g., a ligand, receptor, cofactor, gene, cell, tissue, or organ. Inhibitors are molecules that decrease, block, prevent, delay activation, inactivate, desensitize, or down-regulate, e.g., a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell. Activators are molecules that increase, activate, facilitate, enhance activation, sensitize, or up-regulate, e.g., a gene, protein, ligand, receptor, or cell. An inhibitor may also be defined as a molecule that reduces, blocks, or inactivates a constitutive activity. An “agonist” is a molecule that interacts with a target to cause or promote an increase in the activation of the target. An “antagonist” is a molecule that opposes the action(s) of an agonist. An antagonist prevents, reduces, inhibits, or neutralizes the activity of an agonist, and an antagonist can also prevent, inhibit, or reduce constitutive activity of a target, e.g., a target receptor, even where there is no identified agonist.


The terms “modulate”, “modulation” and the like refer to the ability of a molecule (e.g., an activator or an inhibitor) to increase or decrease the function or activity of A2AR/A2BR, either directly or indirectly. A modulator may act alone, or it may use a cofactor, e.g., a protein, metal ion, or small molecule. Examples of modulators include small molecule compounds and other bioorganic molecules. Numerous libraries of small molecule compounds (e.g., combinatorial libraries) are commercially available and can serve as a starting point for identifying a modulator. The skilled artisan is able to develop one or more assays (e.g., biochemical or cell-based assays) in which such compound libraries can be screened in order to identify one or more compounds having the desired properties; thereafter, the skilled medicinal chemist is able to optimize such one or more compounds by, for example, synthesizing and evaluating analogs and derivatives thereof. Synthetic and/or molecular modeling studies can also be utilized in the identification of an Activator.


The “activity” of a molecule may describe or refer to the binding of the molecule to a ligand or to a receptor; to catalytic activity; to the ability to stimulate gene expression or cell signaling, differentiation, or maturation; to antigenic activity; to the modulation of activities of other molecules; and the like. The term “proliferative activity” encompasses an activity that promotes, that is necessary for, or that is specifically associated with, for example, normal cell division, as well as cancer, tumors, dysplasia, cell transformation, metastasis, and angiogenesis.


As used herein, “comparable”, “comparable activity”, “activity comparable to”, “comparable effect”, “effect comparable to”, and the like are relative terms that can be viewed quantitatively and/or qualitatively. The meaning of the terms is frequently dependent on the context in which they are used. By way of example, two agents that both activate a receptor can be viewed as having a comparable effect from a qualitative perspective, but the two agents can be viewed as lacking a comparable effect from a quantitative perspective if one agent is only able to achieve 20% of the activity of the other agent as determined in an art-accepted assay (e.g., a dose-response assay) or in an art-accepted animal model. When comparing one result to another result (e.g., one result to a reference standard), “comparable” frequently (though not always) means that one result deviates from a reference standard by less than 35%, by less than 30%, by less than 25%, by less than 20%, by less than 15%, by less than 10%, by less than 7%, by less than 5%, by less than 4%, by less than 3%, by less than 2%, or by less than 1%. In particular embodiments, one result is comparable to a reference standard if it deviates by less than 15%, by less than 10%, or by less than 5% from the reference standard. By way of example, but not limitation, the activity or effect may refer to efficacy, stability, solubility, or immunogenicity.


“Substantially pure” indicates that a component makes up greater than about 50% of the total content of the composition, and typically greater than about 60% of the total polypeptide content. More typically, “substantially pure” refers to compositions in which at least 75%, at least 85%, at least 90% or more of the total composition is the component of interest. In some cases, the polypeptide will make up greater than about 90%, or greater than about 95% of the total content of the composition.


The terms “specifically binds” or “selectively binds”, when referring to a ligand/receptor, antibody/antigen, or other binding pair, indicates a binding reaction which is determinative of the presence of the protein in a heterogeneous population of proteins and other biologics. Thus, under designated conditions, a specified ligand binds to a particular receptor and does not bind in a significant amount to other proteins present in the sample. The antibody, or binding composition derived from the antigen-binding site of an antibody, of the contemplated method binds to its antigen, or a variant or mutein thereof, with an affinity that is at least two-fold greater, at least ten times greater, at least 20-times greater, or at least 100-times greater than the affinity with any other antibody, or binding composition derived therefrom. In a particular embodiment, the antibody will have an affinity that is greater than about 109 liters/mol, as determined by, e.g., Scatchard analysis (Munsen, et al. 1980 Analyt. Biochem. 107:220-239).


The term “response,” for example, of a cell, tissue, organ, or organism, encompasses a change in biochemical or physiological behavior, e.g., concentration, density, adhesion, or migration within a biological compartment, rate of gene expression, or state of differentiation, where the change is correlated with activation, stimulation, or treatment, or with internal mechanisms such as genetic programming. In certain contexts, the terms “activation”, “stimulation”, and the like refer to cell activation as regulated by internal mechanisms, as well as by external or environmental factors; whereas the terms “inhibition”, “down-regulation” and the like refer to the opposite effects.


The terms “polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein”, used interchangeably herein, refer to a polymeric form of amino acids of any length, which can include genetically coded and non-genetically coded amino acids, chemically or biochemically modified or derivatized amino acids, and polypeptides having modified polypeptide backbones. The terms include fusion proteins, including, but not limited to, fusion proteins with a heterologous amino acid sequence, fusion proteins with heterologous and homologous leader sequences, with or without N-terminus methionine residues; immunologically tagged proteins; and the like.


As used herein, the terms “variants” and “homologs” are used interchangeably to refer to amino acid or DNA sequences that are similar to reference amino acid or nucleic acid sequences, respectively. The term encompasses naturally-occurring variants and non-naturally-occurring variants. Naturally-occurring variants include homologs (polypeptides and nucleic acids that differ in amino acid or nucleotide sequence, respectively, from one species to another), and allelic variants (polypeptides and nucleic acids that differ in amino acid or nucleotide sequence, respectively, from one individual to another within a species). Thus, variants and homologs encompass naturally occurring DNA sequences and proteins encoded thereby and their isoforms, as well as splice variants of a protein or gene. The terms also encompass nucleic acid sequences that vary in one or more bases from a naturally-occurring DNA sequence but still translate into an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the naturally-occurring protein due to degeneracy of the genetic code. Non-naturally-occurring variants and homologs include polypeptides and nucleic acids that comprise a change in amino acid or nucleotide sequence, respectively, where the change in sequence is artificially introduced (e.g., muteins); for example, the change is generated in the laboratory by human intervention (“hand of man”). Therefore, non-naturally occurring variants and homologs may also refer to those that differ from the naturally-occurring sequences by one or more conservative substitutions and/or tags and/or conjugates.


The term “muteins” as used herein refers broadly to mutated recombinant proteins. These proteins usually carry single or multiple amino acid substitutions and are frequently derived from cloned genes that have been subjected to site-directed or random mutagenesis, or from completely synthetic genes.


The terms “DNA”, “nucleic acid”, “nucleic acid molecule”, “polynucleotide” and the like are used interchangeably herein to refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. Non-limiting examples of polynucleotides include linear and circular nucleic acids, messenger RNA (mRNA), complementary DNA (cDNA), recombinant polynucleotides, vectors, probes, primers and the like.


Adenosine A2A Receptor and Adenosine A2B Receptor and Inhibition Thereof


As set forth above, a precise understanding of the compounds' underlying mechanism of action by which the compounds of the present invention effect their activity is not required to practice the invention, the compounds (or a subset thereof) are believed to inhibit adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR). Alternatively, the compounds (or a subset thereof) may inhibit adenylyl cyclase function. The compounds (or a subset thereof) may also have inhibitor activity on the A2A receptor (A2AR), the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) as well as adenylyl cyclase. Although the compounds of the invention are generally referred to herein as adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) and/or the adenosine A2B receptor (A2BR) inhibitors, it is to be understood that the term “A2AR/A2BR inhibitors” encompasses compounds that act individually through inhibition of A2AR, A2BR or adenylyl cyclase, and/or compounds that act through inhibition of A2AR, A2BR, and adenylyl cyclase.


Identification of Adenosine A2A Receptor and Adenosine A2B Receptor Inhibitors Possessing Desirable Characteristics


The present invention is drawn, in part, to the identification of inhibitors of the adenosine A2A receptor and/or the adenosine A2B receptor with at least one property or characteristic that is of therapeutic relevance. Candidate inhibitors may be identified by using, for example, an art-accepted assay or model, examples of which are described herein.


After identification, candidate inhibitors can be further evaluated by using techniques that provide data regarding characteristics of the inhibitors (e.g., pharmacokinetic parameters, means of determining solubility or stability). Comparisons of the candidate inhibitors to a reference standard (which may the “best-of-class” of current inhibitors) are indicative of the potential viability of such candidates.

Methods of Synthesis

In general, the compounds provided herein can be prepared by conventional methods as described in the Examples below.


Prodrugs and Other Means of Drug Delivery and/or Half-Life Extension


In some aspects of the present invention, compounds described herein are administered in prodrug form.


In order to effect extension of therapeutic activity, drug molecules may be engineered to utilize carriers for delivery. Such carriers are either used in a non-covalent fashion, with the drug moiety physicochemically formulated into a solvent-carrier mixture, or by permanent covalent attachment of a carrier reagent to one of the drug moiety's functional groups (see generally WO 20150202317).


Several non-covalent approaches are favored. By way of example, but not limitation, in certain embodiments depot formulations comprising non-covalent drug encapsulation into polymeric carriers are employed. In such formulations, the drug molecule is combined with carrier material and processed such that the drug molecule becomes distributed inside the bulk carrier. Examples include microparticle polymer-drug aggregates (e.g., Degradex® Microspheres (Phosphorex, Inc.)), which are administered as an injectable suspension; polymer-drug molecule aggregates formulated as gels (e.g., Lupron Depot® (AbbVie Inc.)), which are administered as a single bolus injection; and liposomal formulations (e.g., DepoCyt® (Pacira Pharmaceuticals)), where the carrier may be a polymeric or non-polymeric entity capable of solubilizing the drug. In these formulations, release of the drug molecule may occur when the carrier swells or physically deteriorates. In other instances, chemical degradation allows diffusion of the drug into the biological environment; such chemical degradation processes may be autohydrolytic or enzyme-catalyzed. Among other limitations, non-covalent drug encapsulation requires prevention of uncontrolled release of the drug, and dependence of the release mechanism of the drug upon biodegradation may cause interpatient variability.


In particular embodiments, drug molecules, including both small molecules and large molecules, are conjugated to a carrier through permanent covalent bonds. Certain small molecule therapeutics that exhibit low solubility in aqueous fluids may be solubilized by conjugation to hydrophilic polymers, examples of which are described elsewhere herein. Regarding large molecule proteins, half-life extension may be achieved by, for example, permanent covalent modification with a palmitoyl moiety, and by permanent covalent modification with another protein that itself has an extended half-life (e.g., Albuferon®). In general, drug molecules show decreased biological activity when a carrier is covalently conjugated to the drug.


In certain instances, limitations associated with either drug molecules comprising non-covalent polymer mixtures or permanent covalent attachment may be successfully addressed by employing a prodrug approach for chemical conjugation of the drug to the polymer carrier. In this context, therapeutic agents that are inactive or less active than the drug moiety itself are predictably transformed into active molecular entities. The reduced biological activity of the prodrug as compared to the released drug is advantageous if a slow or controlled release of the drug is desired. In such instances, release of the drug occurs over time, thereby reducing the necessity of repeated and frequent administration of the drug. A prodrug approach may also be advantageous when the drug moiety itself is not absorbed, or has less than optimal absorption, in the gastrointestinal tract; in these instances, the prodrug facilitates absorption of the drug moiety and is then cleaved off at some later time (e.g., via first-pass metabolism). The biologically active drug molecule is typically linked to the polymeric carrier moiety by a temporary bond formed between the carrier moiety and a hydroxy, amino or carboxy group of the drug molecule.


The approaches described above are associated with several limitations. Prodrug activation may occur by enzymatic or non-enzymatic cleavage of the temporary bond between the carrier and the drug molecule, or a sequential combination of both (e.g., an enzymatic step followed by a non-enzymatic modification). In an enzyme-free in vitro environment (e.g., an aqueous buffer solution), a temporary bond such as an ester or amide may undergo hydrolysis, but the corresponding rate of hydrolysis may be such that it is outside the therapeutically useful range. In contrast, in an in vivo environment, esterases or amidases are typically present, and the esterases and amidases may cause significant catalytic acceleration of the kinetics of hydrolysis from two-fold up to several orders of magnitude (see, e.g., Greenwald et al., (1999) J Med Chem 42(18):3857-67).


As described herein, prodrugs may be classified as i) bioprecursors and ii) carrier-linked prodrugs. Bioprecursors do not contain a carrier group and are activated by the metabolic creation of a functional group. In contrast, in carrier-linked prodrugs the active substance is conjugated to a carrier moiety via a temporary linkage at a functional group of the bioactive entity. Preferred functional groups are hydroxyl or amino groups. Both the attachment chemistry and hydrolysis conditions depend on the type of functional group employed. The carrier may be biologically inert (e.g., PEG) or may have targeting properties (e.g., an antibody). Cleavage of the carrier moiety of a carrier-linked prodrug results in the bioactive entity of interest, and the nature of the deprotected functional group of the bioactive entity often contributes to its bioactivity.


The patent and scientific literature describe many macromolecular prodrugs where the temporary linkage is a labile ester bond. In these cases, the functional group of the bioactive entity is either a hydroxyl group or a carboxylic acid (see, e.g. Cheng et al. (2003) Bioconjugate Chem 14:1007-17). In addition, it is often advantageous for biomacromolecules and certain small molecule drugs to link the carrier to an amino group(s) of the bioactive entity (e.g., the N-terminus or lysine amino groups of proteins). During preparation of the prodrug, the amino groups may be more chemoselectively addressed due to their greater nucleophilicity compared to hydroxylic or phenolic groups. This is especially relevant for proteins and peptides containing a great variety of different reactive functionalities, where non-selective conjugation reactions lead to undesired product mixtures requiring extensive characterization or purification, thus decreasing reaction yield and therapeutic efficiency of the active moiety.


In general, amide bonds are more stable against hydrolysis than ester bonds, and the rate of cleavage of the amide bond may be too slow for therapeutic utility in a carrier-linked prodrug. As a result, it may be advantageous to add structural chemical components in order to effect control over the cleavability of the prodrug amide bond. These additional cleavage-controlling chemical components that are provided neither by the carrier entity nor by the drug are generally referred to as “linkers”. Prodrug linkers can have a major effect on the rate of hydrolysis of temporary bond, and variation of the chemical nature of the linkers often results in particular properties. Prodrug activation of amine-containing biologically active moieties by specific enzymes for targeted release requires that the structure of the linker display a structural motif recognized as a substrate by a corresponding endogenous enzyme. In these cases, the cleavage of the temporary bond occurs in a one-step process which is catalyzed by the enzyme. For example, the enzymatic release of cytarabin is effected by the protease plasmin, which concentration is relatively high in various kinds of tumor mass.


Interpatient variability is a major drawback of predominant enzymatic cleavage. Enzyme levels may differ significantly between subjects resulting in biological variation of prodrug activation by the enzymatic cleavage. Enzyme levels may also vary depending on the site of administration (e.g., for subcutaneous injection, certain areas of the body yield more predictable therapeutic effects than others). In addition, it is difficult to establish an in vivo—in vitro correlation of the pharmacokinetic properties for enzyme-dependent carrier-linked prodrugs.


Other carrier prodrugs employing temporary linkages to amino groups in the drug moiety are based on a cascade mechanism. Cascade cleavage is enabled by linker compounds that are composed of a structural combination of a masking group and an activating group. The masking group is attached to the activating group by means of a first temporary linkage such as an ester or a carbamate. The activating group is attached to an amino group of the drug molecule through a second temporary linkage (e.g., a carbamate). The stability or susceptibility to hydrolysis of the second temporary linkage is dependent on the presence or absence of the masking group. In the presence of the masking group, the second temporary linkage is highly stable and unlikely to release the drug molecule with therapeutically useful kinetics, whereas in the absence of the masking group this linkage becomes highly labile, resulting in rapid cleavage and release of the drug moiety.


The cleavage of the first temporary linkage is the rate-limiting step in the cascade mechanism. The first step may induce a molecular rearrangement of the activating group (e.g., a 1,6-elimination as described in Greenwald et al. (1999) J Med Chem 42:3657-67), and the rearrangement renders the second temporary linkage much more labile such that its cleavage is induced. Ideally, the cleavage rate of the first temporary linkage is identical to the desired release rate for the drug molecule in a given therapeutic scenario. In addition, it is desirable that the cleavage of the second temporary linkage be substantially instantaneous after its lability has been induced by cleavage of the first temporary bond.


Another embodiment comprises polymeric amino-containing prodrugs based on trimethyl lock lactonization (see, e.g., Greenwald et al. (2000) J Med Chem 43(3):457-87). In this prodrug system, substituted o-hydroxyphenyl-dimethylpropionic acid is linked to PEG by an ester, carbonate, or carbamate group as a first temporary linkage and to an amino group of a drug molecule by means of an amide bond as a second temporary linkage. The rate-determining step in drug release is the enzymatic cleavage of the first linkage, which is followed by fast amide cleavage by lactonization, releasing an aromatic lactone side product. The primary disadvantage of the prodrug systems described by Greenwald et al. is the release of highly reactive and potentially toxic aromatic small molecule side products like quinone methides or aromatic lactones after cleavage of the temporary linkage. The potentially toxic entities are released in a 1:1 stoichiometry with the drug and can assume high in vivo concentrations.


In certain embodiments of cascade prodrugs comprising aromatic activating groups based on 1,6-elimination, the masking group is structurally separate from the carrier. This may be effected by employing a stable bond between the polymer carrier and the activating group, wherein the stable bond does not participate in the cascade cleavage mechanism. If the carrier is not serving as a masking group and the activating group is coupled to the carrier by means of a stable bond, release of potentially toxic side products (such as the activating group) is avoided. The stable attachment of the activating group and the polymer also suppresses the release of drug-linker intermediates with undefined pharmacology.


A first example of the approach described in the preceding paragraph comprises a polymeric prodrug system based on a mandelic acid activating group (see, e.g., Shabat et al. (2004) Chem Eur J 10:2626-34). In this approach the masking group is linked to the activating group by a carbamate bond. The activating group is conjugated permanently to a polyacrylamide polymer via an amide bond. After enzymatic activation of the masking group by a catalytic antibody, the masking group is cleaved by cyclization and the drug is released; the activating group is still connected to the polyacrylamide polymer after drug release. A similar prodrug system is based on a mandelic acid activating group and an enzymatically cleavable ester-linked masking group (see, e.g., Lee et al. (2004) Angew Chem 116:1707-10).


When the aforementioned linkers are used, the 1,6-elimination step still generates a highly reactive aromatic intermediate. Even if the aromatic moiety remains permanently attached to the polymeric carrier, side reactions with potentially toxic by-products or immunogenic effects may result. Thus, it is advantageous to generate linker technologies for forming polymeric prodrugs of amine-containing active agents using aliphatic prodrug linkers that are not enzyme-dependent and do not generate reactive aromatic intermediates during cleavage. One such example uses PEG5000-maleic anhydride for the reversible modification of amino groups in tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase (see, e.g. (1987) Garman et al. FEBS Lett 223(2):361-65). Regeneration of functional enzyme from PEG-uPA conjugate upon incubation at pH 7.4 buffer by cleavage of the maleamic acid linkage follows first order kinetics with a half-life of roughly 6 hours. A disadvantage of the maleamic acid linkage is the lack of stability of the conjugate at lower pH values.


A further approach comprises a PEG cascade prodrug system based on N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine amide (bicine) linker (see e.g. (2004) J Med Chem 47:726-34). In this system, two PEG carrier molecules are linked via temporary bonds to a bicine molecule coupled to an amino group of the drug molecule. The first steps in prodrug activation involves the enzymatic cleavage of the first temporary linkages connecting both PEG carrier molecules with the hydroxy groups of the bicine activating group. Different linkages between PEG and bicine result in different prodrug activation kinetics. The second step in prodrug activation involves the cleavage of the second temporary linkage connecting the bicine activating group to the amino group of the drug molecule. A disadvantage of this system is the slow hydrolysis rate of this second temporary bicine amide linkage, which results in the release of a bicine-modified prodrug intermediate that may show different pharmacokinetic, immunogenic, toxicity and pharmacodynamic properties as compared to the native parent drug molecule.


In particular embodiments, dipeptides are utilized for prodrug development for targeting or targeted transport as they are substrates for enzymes or biotransport systems. The non-enzymatic route for dipeptide prodrug formation, that is, the ability to undergo intramolecular cyclization to form the corresponding diketopiperazine (DKP) and release the active drug, is not well defined.


In some embodiments, dipeptides are attached to a drug moiety via ester bonds, as was described for dipeptide esters of the drug paracetamol (Gomes et al. (2005) Bio & Med Chem Lett). In this case, the cyclization reaction consists of a nucleophilic attack of the N-terminal amine of the peptide on the ester carbon atom to form a tetrahedral intermediate, which is followed by a proton transfer from the amine to the leaving group oxyanion with simultaneous formation of a peptide bond to give the cyclic DKP product and free drug. This method is applicable to hydroxyl-containing drugs in vitro but has been found to compete with enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bond in vivo, as corresponding dipeptide esters released paracetamol at a much faster rate than in buffer (Gomes et al. (Molecules 12 (2007) 2484-2506). Susceptibility of dipeptide-based prodrugs to peptidases may be addressed by incorporating at least one non-natural amino acid in the dipeptide motif. However, endogenous enzymes capable of cleaving ester bonds are not limited to peptidases, and the enzyme-dependence of such prodrug cleavage still gives rise to unpredictable in vivo performance.


In some embodiments, enzyme-dependence is intentionally engineered into DKP prodrugs, such as where dipeptide ester prodrugs are formylated at the amino terminus of the dipeptide, and enzymatic deformylation is used to initiate diketopiperazine formation and subsequent cleavage of the ester-dipeptide bond, followed by release of the drug molecule (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,163,923). By way of further example, an octapeptide is attached by an ester linkage to the 4-hydroxyl group of vinblastine and undergoes ester bond cleavage by DKP formation after specific enzymatic removal of the N-terminal hexapeptide (see Brady et al. (2002) J Med Chem 45:4706-15).


The scope of the DKP formation reaction has also been extended to amide prodrugs. By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,294 describes prodrug activation using diketopiperazine formation for dipeptidyl amide prodrugs of cytarabine. In this case, the temporary linkage is formed between the carbonyl of a dipeptide and the aromatic amino group of cytarabine. However, it is unlikely that a slow-release effect can be achieved for such conjugates as there is no carrier or other half-life extending moiety or functionality present.


Dipeptide prodrugs comprising bioactive peptides such as GLP-1 capable of releasing the peptide through diketopiperazine formation of the dipeptidic extension have also been described (see, e.g., WO 2009/099763). The bioactive peptide moiety may include an additional PEG chain on one of its amino acid side chain residues to achieve extended circulation of the bioactive peptide. However, this approach is associated with several significant disadvantages. First, the PEG chain has to be linked to the peptide without compromising its bioactivity, which can be difficult to achieve for many peptide-based bioactive agents. Second, as the pegylated peptide itself is bioactive, the dipeptidic promoiety has an effect on the peptide's bioactivity and may negatively affect its receptor binding properties.


Specific exemplary technologies that may be used with the compounds of the present invention include those developed by ProLynx (San Francisco, Calif.) and Ascendis Pharma (Palo Alto, Calif.). The ProLynx technology platform utilizes sets of novel linkers that are pre-programmed to cleave at different rates to allow the controlled, predictable and sustained release of small molecules and peptides from circulating semi-solid macromolecular conjugates. The technology allows for maintenance of desired steady-state serum levels of therapeutic agents for weeks to months.


The Ascendis technology platform combines the benefits of prodrug and sustained release technologies to enhance the properties of small molecules and peptides. While in circulation, proprietary prodrugs release the unmodified active parent therapeutic agent at predetermined rates governed by physiological pH and temperature conditions. Because the therapeutic agent is released in its unmodified form, it retains its original mechanism of action.


Modifications to Enhance Inhibitor Characteristics

It is frequently beneficial, and sometimes imperative, to improve one of more physical properties of the treatment modalities disclosed herein and/or the manner in which they are administered. Improvements of physical properties include, for example, methods of increasing water solubility, bioavailability, serum half-life, and/or therapeutic half-life; and/or modulating biological activity.


Modifications known in the art include pegylation, Fc-fusion and albumin fusion. Although generally associated with large molecule agents (e.g., polypeptides), such modifications have recently been evaluated with particular small molecules. By way of example, Chiang, M. et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2014, 136(9):3370-73) describe a small molecule agonist of the adenosine 2a receptor conjugated to the immunoglobulin Fc domain. The small molecule-Fc conjugate retained potent Fc receptor and adenosine 2a receptor interactions and showed superior properties compared to the unconjugated small molecule. Covalent attachment of PEG molecules to small molecule therapeutics has also been described (Li, W. et al., Progress in Polymer Science, 2013 38:421-44).


Other known modifications include deuteration to improve pharmacokinetics, pharmacodyanics and toxicity profiles. Due to the greater atomic mass of deuterium, cleavage of the carbon-deuterium bond requires more energy than the carbon-hydrogen bond. Because these stronger bonds are more difficult to break, the rate of drug metabolism is slower as compared to non-deuterated forms, which allows for less frequent dosing and may further reduce toxicities. (Charles Schmidt, Nature Biotechnology, 2017, 35(6): 493-494; Harbeson, S. and Tung, R., Medchem News, 2014(2): 8-22).

Therapeutic compositions are also provided which include at least one antigenic agent or vaccine component, including, but not limited to, viruses, bacteria, and fungi, or portions thereof, proteins, peptides, tumor-specific antigens, and nucleic acid vaccines, in combination with at least one A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention.


A non-limiting list of immune- and inflammatory-related diseases, disorders and conditions which may be treated or prevented with the compounds and compositions of the present invention include, arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), kidney failure, lupus, asthma, psoriasis, colitis, pancreatitis, allergies, fibrosis, surgical complications (e.g., where inflammatory cytokines prevent healing), anemia, and fibromyalgia. Other diseases and disorders which may be associated with chronic inflammation include Alzheimer's disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, aortic valve stenosis, arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, infections, inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), allergic contact dermatitis and other eczemas, systemic sclerosis, transplantation and multiple sclerosis.


Among other immune-related disorders, it is contemplated that inhibition of A2AR/A2BR function may also play a role in immunologic tolerance and prevention of fetal rejection in utero.


In some embodiments, an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor described herein can be combined with an immunosuppressive agent to reduce the number of immune effector cells.


Some of the aforementioned diseases, disorders and conditions for which an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor may be particularly efficacious (due to, for example, limitations of current therapies) are described in more detail hereafter.


Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), which is generally characterized by chronic inflammation in the membrane lining (the synovium) of the joints, affects approximately 1% of the U.S. population (−2.1 million people). Further understanding of the role of cytokines, including TNF-a and IL-1, in the inflammatory process has enabled the development and introduction of a new class of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Agents (some of which overlap with treatment modalities for RA) include ENBREL (etanercept), REMICADE (infliximab), HUMIRA (adalimumab) and KINERET (anakinra) Though some of these agents relieve symptoms, inhibit progression of structural damage, and improve physical function in particular patient populations, there is still a need for alternative agents with improved efficacy, complementary mechanisms of action, and fewer/less severe adverse effects.


Psoriasis, a constellation of common immune-mediated chronic skin diseases, affects more than 4.5 million people in the U.S., of which 1.5 million are considered to have a moderate—to severe form of the disease. Moreover, over 10% of patients with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis, which damages the bone and connective tissue around the joints. An improved understanding of the underlying physiology of psoriasis has resulted in the introduction of agents that, for example, target the activity of T lymphocytes and cytokines responsible for the inflammatory nature of the disease. Such agents include the TNF-α inhibitors (also used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)), including ENBREL (etanercept), REMICADE (infliximab) and HUMIRA (adalimumab)), and T-cell inhibitors such as AMEVIVE (alefacept) and RAPTIVA (efalizumab). Though several of these agents are effective to some extent in certain patient populations, none have been shown to effectively treat all patients.


Microbial-related Disorders. The present invention contemplates the use of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors described herein in the treatment and/or prevention of any viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic or other infective disease, disorder or condition for which treatment with an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor may be beneficial.


Examples of viral diseases, disorders and conditions that are contemplated include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human papilloma virus (HPV), HIV, AIDS (including its manifestations such as cachexia, dementia, and diarrhea), herpes simplex virus (HSV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus, coxsackie virus, and cytomegalovirus (CMV).


Further examples of such diseases and disorders include staphylococcal and streptococcal infections (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus sanguinis, respectively), Leishmania, Toxoplasma, Trichomonas, Giardia, Candida albicans, Bacillus anthracis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In some embodiments, diseases or disorders include Mycobacterium infection (e.g., Mycobacterium leprae or Mycobacterium tuberculosis) or an infection caused by Listeria monocytogenes or Toxoplasma gondii. Compounds of the invention can be used to treat sepsis, decrease or inhibit bacterial growth, and reduce or inhibit inflammatory cytokines.


Further embodiments contemplate the treatment of a parasitic infection including, but not limited to, Leishmania donovani, Leishmania tropica, Leishmania major, Leishmania aethiopica, Leishmania mexicana, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, or Plasmodium malariae. Frequently, anti-parasitic therapy is administered prophylactically (e.g., before a subject travels to an area with a high frequency of parasitic infection).


CNS-related and Neurological Disorders. Inhibition of A2AR/A2BR may also be an important treatment strategy for patients with neurological, neuropsychiatric, neurodegenerative or other diseases, disorders and conditions having some association with the central nervous system, including disorders associated with impairment of cognitive function and motor function. Examples include Parkinson's disease, extra pyramidal syndrome (EPS), dystonia, akathisia, tardive dyskinesia, restless leg syndrome (RLS), epilepsy, periodic limb movement in sleep (PLMS), attention deficit disorders, depression, anxiety, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral ischemia, hemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury.


Subjects suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS), a seriously debilitating autoimmune disease comprising multiple areas of inflammation and scarring of the myelin in the brain and spinal cord, may be particularly helped by the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors described herein, as current treatments only alleviate symptoms or delay the progression of disability.


Similarly, the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors may be particularly advantageous for subjects afflicted with neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), a brain disorder that seriously impairs patients' thought, memory, and language processes; and Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive disorder of the CNS characterized by, for example, abnormal movement, rigidity and tremor. These disorders are progressive and debilitating, and no curative agents are available.


Other Disorders. Embodiments of the present invention contemplate the administration of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors described herein to a subject for the treatment or prevention of any other disorder that may benefit from at least some level of A2AR/A2BR inhibition. Such diseases, disorders and conditions include, for example, cardiovascular (e.g., cardiac ischemia), gastrointestinal (e.g., Crohn's disease), metabolic (e.g., diabetes), hepatic (e.g., hepatic fibrosis, NASH, and NAFLD), pulmonary (e.g., COPD and asthma), ophthalmologic (e.g., diabetic retinopathy), and renal (e.g., renal failure) disorders.


Pharmaceutical Compositions

The A2AR/A2BR inhibitors of the present invention may be in the form of compositions suitable for administration to a subject. In general, such compositions are “pharmaceutical compositions” comprising an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor(s) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable or physiologically acceptable diluents, carriers or excipients. In certain embodiments, the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors are present in a therapeutically acceptable amount. The pharmaceutical compositions may be used in the methods of the present invention; thus, for example, the pharmaceutical compositions can be administered ex vivo or in vivo to a subject in order to practice the therapeutic and prophylactic methods and uses described herein.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be formulated to be compatible with the intended method or route of administration; exemplary routes of administration are set forth herein. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical compositions may be used in combination with other therapeutically active agents or compounds as described herein in order to treat or prevent the diseases, disorders and conditions as contemplated by the present invention.


The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient (e.g., an inhibitor of A2AR/A2BR function) may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, capsules, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups, solutions, microbeads or elixirs. Pharmaceutical compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions, and such compositions may contain one or more agents such as, for example, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets, capsules and the like contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, diluents, such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc.


The tablets, capsules and the like suitable for oral administration may be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action. For example, a time-delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. They may also be coated by techniques known in the art to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for controlled release. Additional agents include biodegradable or biocompatible particles or a polymeric substance such as polyesters, polyamine acids, hydrogel, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, ethylene-vinylacetate, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, protamine sulfate, or lactide/glycolide copolymers, polylactide/glycolide copolymers, or ethylenevinylacetate copolymers in order to control delivery of an administered composition. For example, the oral agent can be entrapped in microcapsules prepared by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, by the use of hydroxymethylcellulose or gelatin-microcapsules or poly (methylmethacrolate) microcapsules, respectively, or in a colloid drug delivery system. Colloidal dispersion systems include macromolecule complexes, nano-capsules, microspheres, microbeads, and lipid-based systems, including oil-in-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, and liposomes. Methods for the preparation of the above-mentioned formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.


Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, kaolin or microcrystalline cellulose, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.


Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture thereof. Such excipients can be suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents, for example a naturally-occurring phosphatide (e.g., lecithin), or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids (e.g., polyoxy-ethylene stearate), or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols (e.g., for heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol), or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol (e.g., polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate), or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides (e.g., polyethylene sorbitan monooleate). The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives.


Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation.


Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified herein.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example, liquid paraffin, or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally occurring gums, for example, gum acacia or gum tragacanth; naturally occurring phosphatides, for example, soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids; hexitol anhydrides, for example, sorbitan monooleate; and condensation products of partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate.


The pharmaceutical compositions typically comprise a therapeutically effective amount of an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor contemplated by the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable formulation agents. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable or physiologically acceptable diluents, carriers or excipients include, but are not limited to, antioxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid and sodium bisulfate), preservatives (e.g., benzyl alcohol, methyl parabens, ethyl or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate), emulsifying agents, suspending agents, dispersing agents, solvents, fillers, bulking agents, detergents, buffers, vehicles, diluents, and/or adjuvants. For example, a suitable vehicle may be physiological saline solution or citrate buffered saline, possibly supplemented with other materials common in pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration. Neutral buffered saline or saline mixed with serum albumin are further exemplary vehicles. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize a variety of buffers that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms contemplated herein. Typical buffers include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable weak acids, weak bases, or mixtures thereof. As an example, the buffer components can be water soluble materials such as phosphoric acid, tartaric acids, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, ascorbic acid, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, and salts thereof. Acceptable buffering agents include, for example, a Tris buffer, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N′-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (HEPES), 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid (MES), 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid sodium salt (MES), 3-(N-Morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS), and N-tris[Hydroxymethyl]methyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid (TAPS).


After a pharmaceutical composition has been formulated, it may be stored in sterile vials as a solution, suspension, gel, emulsion, solid, or dehydrated or lyophilized powder. Such formulations may be stored either in a ready-to-use form, a lyophilized form requiring reconstitution prior to use, a liquid form requiring dilution prior to use, or other acceptable form. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is provided in a single-use container (e.g., a single-use vial, ampoule, syringe, or autoinjector (similar to, e.g., an EpiPen®)), whereas a multi-use container (e.g., a multi-use vial) is provided in other embodiments.


Formulations can also include carriers to protect the composition against rapid degradation or elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including liposomes, hydrogels, prodrugs and microencapsulated delivery systems. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl stearate alone, or in combination with a wax, may be employed. Any drug delivery apparatus may be used to deliver an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor, including implants (e.g., implantable pumps) and catheter systems, slow injection pumps and devices, all of which are well known to the skilled artisan.


Depot injections, which are generally administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, may also be utilized to release the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors disclosed herein over a defined period of time. Depot injections are usually either solid- or oil-based and generally comprise at least one of the formulation components set forth herein. One of ordinary skill in the art is familiar with possible formulations and uses of depot injections.


The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to the known art using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents mentioned herein. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butane diol. Acceptable diluents, solvents and dispersion media that may be employed include water, Ringer's solution, isotonic sodium chloride solution, Cremophor EL™ (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), and suitable mixtures thereof. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Moreover, fatty acids such as oleic acid, find use in the preparation of injectables. Prolonged absorption of particular injectable formulations can be achieved by including an agent that delays absorption (e.g., aluminum monostearate or gelatin).


The present invention contemplates the administration of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. The suppositories can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include, but are not limited to, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.


The A2AR/A2BR inhibitors contemplated by the present invention may be in the form of any other suitable pharmaceutical composition (e.g., sprays for nasal or inhalation use) currently known or developed in the future.


Routes of Administration

The present invention contemplates the administration of A2AR/A2BR inhibitors, and compositions thereof, in any appropriate manner. Suitable routes of administration include oral, parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous (e.g., injection or implant), intraperitoneal, intracisternal, intraarticular, intraperitoneal, intracerebral (intraparenchymal) and intracerebroventricular), nasal, vaginal, sublingual, intraocular, rectal, topical (e.g., transdermal), buccal and inhalation. Depot injections, which are generally administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, may also be utilized to release the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors disclosed herein over a defined period of time.


Particular embodiments of the present invention contemplate oral administration.


Combination Therapy

The present invention contemplates the use of A2AR/A2BR inhibitors alone or in combination with one or more active therapeutic agents. The additional active therapeutic agents can be small chemical molecules; macromolecules such as proteins, antibodies, peptibodies, peptides, DNA, RNA or fragments of such macromolecules; or cellular or gene therapies. In such combination therapy, the various active agents frequently have different, complementary mechanisms of action. Such combination therapy may be especially advantageous by allowing a dose reduction of one or more of the agents, thereby reducing or eliminating the adverse effects associated with one or more of the agents. Furthermore, such combination therapy may have a synergistic therapeutic or prophylactic effect on the underlying disease, disorder, or condition.


As used herein, “combination” is meant to include therapies that can be administered separately, for example, formulated separately for separate administration (e.g., as may be provided in a kit), and therapies that can be administered together in a single formulation (i.e., a “co-formulation”).


In certain embodiments, the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors are administered or applied sequentially, e.g., where one agent is administered prior to one or more other agents. In other embodiments, the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors are administered simultaneously, e.g., where two or more agents are administered at or about the same time; the two or more agents may be present in two or more separate formulations or combined into a single formulation (i.e., a co-formulation). Regardless of whether the two or more agents are administered sequentially or simultaneously, they are considered to be administered in combination for purposes of the present invention.


The A2AR/A2BR inhibitors of the present invention may be used in combination with at least one other (active) agent in any manner appropriate under the circumstances. In one embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent and at least one A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention is maintained over a period of time. In another embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent is reduced or discontinued (e.g., when the subject is stable), while treatment with an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention is maintained at a constant dosing regimen. In a further embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent is reduced or discontinued (e.g., when the subject is stable), while treatment with an A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention is reduced (e.g., lower dose, less frequent dosing or shorter treatment regimen). In yet another embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent is reduced or discontinued (e.g., when the subject is stable), and treatment with the A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention is increased (e.g., higher dose, more frequent dosing or longer treatment regimen). In yet another embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent is maintained and treatment with the A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention is reduced or discontinued (e.g., lower dose, less frequent dosing or shorter treatment regimen). In yet another embodiment, treatment with the at least one active agent and treatment with the A2AR/A2BR inhibitor of the present invention are reduced or discontinued (e.g., lower dose, less frequent dosing or shorter treatment regimen).

In certain embodiments, the present invention contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with adoptive cell therapy, a new and promising form of personalized immunotherapy in which immune cells with anti-tumor activity are administered to cancer patients. Adoptive cell therapy is being explored using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and T cells engineered to express, for example, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) or T cell receptors (TCR). Adoptive cell therapy generally involves collecting T cells from an individual, genetically modifying them to target a specific antigen or to enhance their anti-tumor effects, amplifying them to a sufficient number, and infusion of the genetically modified T cells into a cancer patient. T cells can be collected from the patient to whom the expanded cells are later reinfused (e.g., autologous) or can be collected from donor patients (e.g., allogeneic).


In certain embodiments, the present invention contemplates the use of the compounds described herein in combination with RNA interference-based therapies to silence gene expression. RNAi begins with the cleavage of longer double-stranded RNAs into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). One strand of the siRNA is incorporated into a ribonucleoprotein complex known as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which is then used to identify mRNA molecules that are at least partially complementary to the incorporated siRNA strand. RISC can bind to or cleave the mRNA, both of which inhibits translation.


Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors. The present invention contemplates the use of the inhibitors of A2AR/A2BR function described herein in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.


The tremendous number of genetic and epigenetic alterations that are characteristic of all cancers provides a diverse set of antigens that the immune system can use to distinguish tumor cells from their normal counterparts. In the case of T cells, the ultimate amplitude (e.g., levels of cytokine production or proliferation) and quality (e.g., the type of immune response generated, such as the pattern of cytokine production) of the response, which is initiated through antigen recognition by the T-cell receptor (TCR), is regulated by a balance between co-stimulatory and inhibitory signals (immune checkpoints). Under normal physiological conditions, immune checkpoints are crucial for the prevention of autoimmunity (i.e., the maintenance of self-tolerance) and also for the protection of tissues from damage when the immune system is responding to pathogenic infection. The expression of immune checkpoint proteins can be dysregulated by tumors as an important immune resistance mechanism.


T-cells have been the major focus of efforts to therapeutically manipulate endogenous antitumor immunity because of i) their capacity for the selective recognition of peptides derived from proteins in all cellular compartments; ii) their capacity to directly recognize and kill antigen-expressing cells (by CD8+ effector T cells; also known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)); and iii) their ability to orchestrate diverse immune responses by CD4+ helper T cells, which integrate adaptive and innate effector mechanisms.


In the clinical setting, the blockade of immune checkpoints—which results in the amplification of antigen-specific T cell responses—has shown to be a promising approach in human cancer therapeutics.


T cell-mediated immunity includes multiple sequential steps, each of which is regulated by counterbalancing stimulatory and inhibitory signals in order to optimize the response. While nearly all inhibitory signals in the immune response ultimately modulate intracellular signaling pathways, many are initiated through membrane receptors, the ligands of which are either membrane-bound or soluble (cytokines). While co-stimulatory and inhibitory receptors and ligands that regulate T-cell activation are frequently not over-expressed in cancers relative to normal tissues, inhibitory ligands and receptors that regulate T cell effector functions in tissues are commonly overexpressed on tumor cells or on non-transformed cells associated with the tumor microenvironment. The functions of the soluble and membrane-bound receptor—ligand immune checkpoints can be modulated using agonist antibodies (for co-stimulatory pathways) or antagonist antibodies (for inhibitory pathways). Thus, in contrast to most antibodies currently approved for cancer therapy, antibodies that block immune checkpoints do not target tumor cells directly, but rather target lymphocyte receptors or their ligands in order to enhance endogenous antitumor activity. [See Pardoll, (April 2012) Nature Rev. Cancer 12:252-64].


Examples of immune checkpoints (ligands and receptors), some of which are selectively upregulated in various types of tumor cells, that are candidates for blockade include PD1 (programmed cell death protein 1); PDL1 (PD1 ligand); BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator); CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4); TIM3 (T-cell membrane protein 3); LAG3 (lymphocyte activation gene 3); TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains); and Killer Inhibitory Receptors, which can be divided into two classes based on their structural features: i) killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), and ii) C-type lectin receptors (members of the type II transmembrane receptor family). Other less well-defined immune checkpoints have been described in the literature, including both receptors (e.g., the 2B4 (also known as CD244) receptor) and ligands (e.g., certain B7 family inhibitory ligands such B7-H3 (also known as CD276) and B7-H4 (also known as B7-S1, B7x and VCTN1)). [See Pardoll, (April 2012) Nature Rev. Cancer 12:252-64].


The present invention contemplates the use of the inhibitors of A2AR/A2BR function described herein in combination with inhibitors of the aforementioned immune-checkpoint receptors and ligands, as well as yet-to-be-described immune-checkpoint receptors and ligands. Certain modulators of immune checkpoints are currently available, whereas others are in late-stage development. To illustrate, when it was approved for the treatment of melanoma in 2011, the fully humanized CTLA4 monoclonal antibody ipilimumab (YERVOY; Bristol-Myers Squibb) became the first immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval in the US. Fusion proteins comprising CTLA4 and an antibody (CTLA4-Ig; abatcept (ORENCIA; Bristol-Myers Squibb)) have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and other fusion proteins have been shown to be effective in renal transplantation patients that are sensitized to Epstein Barr Virus. PD1 antibodies are under development (e.g., nivolumab (Bristol-Myers Squibb) and lambrolizumab (Merck)), and anti-PDL1 antibodies are also being evaluated (e.g., MPDL3280A (Roche)). Nivolumab has shown promise in patients with melanoma, lung and kidney cancer.


In one aspect of the present invention, the claimed A2AR/A2BR inhibitors are combined with an immuno-oncology agent that is (i) an agonist of a stimulatory (including a co-stimulatory) receptor or (ii) an antagonist of an inhibitory (including a co-inhibitory) signal on T cells, both of which result in amplifying antigen-specific T cell responses. Certain of the stimulatory and inhibitory molecules are members of the immunoglobulin super family (IgSF). One important family of membrane-bound ligands that bind to co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory receptors is the B7 family, which includes B7-1, B7-2, B7-H1 (PD-L1), B7-DC (PD-L2), B7-H2 (ICOS-L), B7-H3, B7-H4, B7-H5 (VISTA), and B7-H6. Another family of membrane bound ligands that bind to co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory receptors is the TNF family of molecules that bind to cognate TNF receptor family members, which includes CD40 and CD4OL, OX-40, OX-40L, CD70, CD27L, CD30, CD3OL, 4-1BBL, CD137 (4-1BB), TRAIL/Apo2-L, TRAILR1/DR4, TRAILR2/DR5, TRAILR3, TRAILR4, OPG, RANK, RANKL, TWEAKR/Fn14, TWEAK, BAFFR, EDAR, XEDAR, TACI, APRIL, BCMA, LT13R, LIGHT, DcR3, HVEM, VEGI/TL1A, TRAMP/DR3, EDAR, EDA1, XEDAR, EDA2, TNFR1, Lymphotoxin a/TNF13, TNFR2, TNFa, LT13R, Lymphotoxin a 1132, FAS, FASL, RELT, DR6, TROY, NGFR.

The skilled artisan is aware of other agents that may find utility for the treatment of parasitic disorders.


Embodiments of the present invention contemplate the use of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors described herein in combination with agents useful in the treatment or prevention of bacterial disorders. Antibacterial agents can be classified in various manners, including based on mechanism of action, based on chemical structure, and based on spectrum of activity. Examples of antibacterial agents include those that target the bacterial cell wall (e.g., cephalosporins and penicillins) or the cell membrane (e.g., polymyxins), or interfere with essential bacterial enzymes (e.g., sulfonamides, rifamycins, and quinolines). Most antibacterial agents that target protein synthesis (e.g., tetracyclines and macrolides) are bacteriostatic, whereas agents such as the aminoglycoside are bactericidal. Another means of categorizing antibacterial agents is based on their target specificity; “narrow-spectrum” agents target specific types of bacteria (e.g., Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus), while “broad-spectrum” agents have activity against a broader range of bacteria. The skilled artisan is aware of types of anti-bacterial agents that are appropriate for use in specific bacterial infections.


Embodiments of the present invention contemplate the use of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors described herein in combination with agents useful in the treatment or prevention of fungal disorders. Antifungal agents include polyenes (e.g., amphotericin, nystatin, and pimaricin); azoles (e.g., fluconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole); allylamines (e.g., naftifine, and terbinafine) and morpholines (e.g., amorolfine); and antimetabolies (e.g., 5-fluorocytosine).


The present invention encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable salts, acids or derivatives of the agents (and members of the classes of agents) set forth above.


Dosing

The A2AR/A2BR inhibitors of the present invention may be administered to a subject in an amount that is dependent upon, for example, the goal of administration (e.g., the degree of resolution desired); the age, weight, sex, and health and physical condition of the subject to which the formulation is being administered; the route of administration; and the nature of the disease, disorder, condition or symptom thereof. The dosing regimen may also take into consideration the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse effects associated with the agent(s) being administered. Effective dosage amounts and dosage regimens can readily be determined from, for example, safety and dose-escalation trials, in vivo studies (e.g., animal models), and other methods known to the skilled artisan.


In general, dosing parameters dictate that the dosage amount be less than an amount that could be irreversibly toxic to the subject (the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)) and not less than an amount required to produce a measurable effect on the subject. Such amounts are determined by, for example, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters associated with ADME, taking into consideration the route of administration and other factors.


An effective dose (ED) is the dose or amount of an agent that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in some fraction of the subjects taking it. The “median effective dose” or ED50 of an agent is the dose or amount of an agent that produces a therapeutic response or desired effect in 50% of the population to which it is administered. Although the ED50 is commonly used as a measure of reasonable expectance of an agent's effect, it is not necessarily the dose that a clinician might deem appropriate taking into consideration all relevant factors. Thus, in some situations the effective amount is more than the calculated ED50, in other situations the effective amount is less than the calculated ED50, and in still other situations the effective amount is the same as the calculated ED50.


In addition, an effective dose of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors of the present invention may be an amount that, when administered in one or more doses to a subject, produces a desired result relative to a healthy subject. For example, for a subject experiencing a particular disorder, an effective dose may be one that improves a diagnostic parameter, measure, marker and the like of that disorder by at least about 5%, at least about 10%, at least about 20%, at least about 25%, at least about 30%, at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, or more than 90%, where 100% is defined as the diagnostic parameter, measure, marker and the like exhibited by a normal subject.


In certain embodiments, the A2AR/A2BR inhibitors contemplated by the present invention may be administered (e.g., orally) at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg, or about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.


For administration of an oral agent, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets, capsules and the like containing from 1.0 to 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0, 25.0, 50.0, 75.0, 100.0, 150.0, 200.0, 250.0, 300.0, 400.0, 500.0, 600.0, 750.0, 800.0, 900.0, and 1000.0 milligrams of the active ingredient.


In certain embodiments, the dosage of the desired A2AR/A2BR inhibitor is contained in a “unit dosage form”. The phrase “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the A2AR/A2BR inhibitor, either alone or in combination with one or more additional agents, sufficient to produce the desired effect. It will be appreciated that the parameters of a unit dosage form will depend on the particular agent and the effect to be achieved.

Materials and Methods

The following general materials and methods were used, where indicated, or may be used in the Examples below:


Standard methods in molecular biology are described in the scientific literature (see, e.g., Sambrook and Russell (2001) Molecular Cloning, 3rd ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; and Ausubel, et al. (2001) Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vols. 1-4, John Wiley and Sons, Inc. New York, N.Y., which describes cloning in bacterial cells and DNA mutagenesis (Vol. 1), cloning in mammalian cells and yeast (Vol. 2), glycoconjugates and protein expression (Vol. 3), and bioinformatics (Vol. 4)).


The scientific literature describes methods for protein purification, including immunoprecipitation, chromatography, electrophoresis, centrifugation, and crystallization, as well as chemical analysis, chemical modification, post-translational modification, production of fusion proteins, and glycosylation of proteins (see, e.g., Coligan, et al. (2000) Current Protocols in Protein Science, Vols. 1-2, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., N.Y.).


Software packages and databases for determining, e.g., antigenic fragments, leader sequences, protein folding, functional domains, glycosylation sites, and sequence alignments, are available (see, e.g., GCG Wisconsin Package (Accelrys, Inc., San Diego, Calif.); and DeCypher™ (TimeLogic Corp., Crystal Bay, Nev.).


The literature is replete with assays and other experimental techniques that can serve as a basis for evaluation of the compounds described herein. By way of example, mass spectrometry-based ligand binding assays (see, e.g., Massink, A. et al. Purinergic Signaling (2015) 11:581. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11302-015-9477-0; Dionisotti S. et al. J Pharmacol Exp Ther. (1996) 298:726-732) may be utilized to ascertain various properties of the compounds of the present invention.


Functional assays may also be employed to assess the compounds of the present invention. The cAMP assay described in detail below was used to evaluate certain compounds described herein.


An alternative exemplary functional assay, which assesses IFN-γ secretion, is described by Yuan, G. et al. (Int J Med Chem; Volume 2017 (2017), Article ID 4852537; https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/4852537). Briefly, during T cell receptor (TCR) activation by the CD3 ligand, C57BL/6 mice splenocytes T cells are incubated with a receptor agonist to inhibit IFN-γ secretion resulting from receptor A2A Rreceptor—induced immunosuppression via intracellular cAMP. Effective receptor antagonists block the receptor-activated signal, thus restoring secretion of the cytokine to potentiate and prolong the immune response.


Measurement of the Adenosine Receptor Activity of Compound I Using a A2AR/TREx CHO cAMP Functional Assay


Dose response of NECA (5-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine), a non-selective adenosine receptor agonist, was performed daily to determine the EC80 of NECA used in the cAMP functional assay. 1000-2500 cells/well of stably expressed A2AR TRex CHO cells were seeded to the 384-well Opti plate (Perkin Elmer) followed by incubating NECA at varies concentrations (ranging from 10 μM to 0 μM) at 37° C. for 30 min. After 30 min incubation, 5 μL of Ulight-anti-cAMP (1:150 dilution with conjugate and lysis buffer provided by Perkin Elmer) and 5 μL of Eu-cAMP tracer (1:50 dilution with conjugate and lysis buffer provided by Perkin Elmer) were added to the cell stimulation and incubated for an hour. FRET signal was detected with Envision multilabel plate reader (Perkin Elmer) when Eu-cAMP tracer excitation at 615 nm and emission at 665 nm. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism to determine the EC80 of the NECA.


The cAMP antagonist functional assay (Perkin Elmer) was performed on A2AR TRex CHO stable cell lines. 1×106 cells were seeded on T75 flasks and grown at 37° C. and 5% CO2 overnight. A2AR TRex CHO was induced with 1 μg/mL of tetracycline at ˜ 70% to 80% confluency for at least 16 hours. 1,000-2,500 cells/well of stably-expressed A2AR TREx CHO cells were then seeded to a white 384-well Opti plate followed by compound 1 incubation at varies concentration (ranging from 10 μM to 0 μM) at 37° C. for 1 hour. EC80 of NECA (Sigma Aldrich) were added to the cell stimulation mixture and incubated for 30 min at 37° C. After 30 min incubation, 5 μL of Ulight-anti-cAMP and 5 μL of Eu-cAMP tracer were added to the cell stimulation and incubated for an hour. FRET signal was detected when Eu-cAMP tracer excitation at 615 nm and emission at 665 nm.


Data analysis was run on GraphPad Prism to measure the KB of Compound I (less than 10 nM).

Equation three demonstrates another method of forming the forming the c-d fragment. In the case of eq. 3, condensation of an appropriate aryl acid with Meldrum's acid and appropriate promoting reagents (such as EDCI and DMAP, although other agents will also give the desired product) gives the corresponding arylketoester. Condensation of the ketoester with guanidine then results in formation of the corresponding 2-amino-3-hydroxy-5-arylpyrimidine, which in turn can be converted into the corresponding chloride by treatment with POCl3 or other suitable reagent.

Step 1: CuI (8.57 g, 44.8 mmol, 1.5 equiv) was added to a round-bottom flask and Bu2S (13.5 mL, 77.5 mmol, 2.6 equiv) was then added. Then Et2O (70 mL) was added and the solution was cooled to 0° C. In a separate flask, nBuLi (3.8 M in Et2O, 89.5 mmol, 3.0 equiv) was cooled to −78° C. Bromopicoline (10.2 mL, 89.5 mmol, 3.0 equiv) was then added neat. The resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and then transferred via cannula to the flask containing CuI/Bu2S. The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 0° C., then a solution of the Michael acceptor (5 g, 29.9 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in Et2O (37.5 mL, 0.8 M) was added via cannula. The resulting mixture was stirred for 20 h while slowly warming to room temperature. After 20 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C., quenched with saturated aqueous NH4Cl, and diluted with EtOAc. Air was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 6 h. Then, the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc and CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were washed with H2O (2×), brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica (hexanes+80% hexanes/EtOAc+100% EtOAc) to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (488 mg, 6% yield).


Step 2: A mixture of the ester (488 mg, 1.88 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and NaCl (33 mg, 0.56 mmol, 0.3 equiv) in DMSO/H2O (100:1, 3.75 mL, 0.5 M) was heated to 160° C. for 6 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with H2O and EtOAc (1:1, 10 mL). The layers were separated and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was used without further purification in Step 3.


Step 3: The crude residue obtained in Step 2 was dissolved in 3 N HCl in MeOH (2.04 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 3 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in CH2Cl2 and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution (3×), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica (CH2Cl2/MeOH gradient) to afford the product (72.8 mg, 16% yield over two steps).


Step 4: To an ice-cooled solution of the pyridine (72.8 mg, 0.309 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (0.31 mL, 1 M) was added mCPBA (89 mg, 0.387 mmol, 1.25 equiv). The resulting solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2, washed with saturated aqueous K2CO3, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was used directly in Step 5 without further purification.


Step 5: To a solution of the crude product obtained in Step 4 in CH2Cl2 (0.31 mL) was added TFAA (0.15 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at 40° C. for 8 h. Upon complete conversion to the TFA ester, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was re-dissolved in CH2Cl2 (0.31 mL) and an aqueous solution of Na2CO3 (2M, 0.31 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica (CH2Cl2/MeOH gradient) to afford the product (55 mg, 70% yield over two steps).


Step 6: To a solution of the alcohol (55.0 mg, 0.219 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in PhMe (0.23 mL, 0.9 M) at room temperature was added DPPA (0.06 mL, 0.263 mmol, 1.2 equiv), followed by DBU (0.04 mL, 0.263 mmol, 1.2 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes and then at 40° C. for 4 h. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica (hexanes/EtOAc) to afford the product as a pale colorless oil (31.6 mg, 52% yield).

Step 1. (6-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)methanol (75.0 g, 399.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and imidazole (29.9 g, 439 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) were combined in CH2Cl2 (800 ml, 0.5 M). TBSCl (66.3 g, 439 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added potionwise to the solution at 0° C., which immediately forms a white precipitate. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 20 minutes, at which point starting material consumption was confirmed by TLC and LCMS. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove imidazolium chloride, and the solid washed with a single portion of CH2Cl2 (100 ml). Methanol (100 ml) was added to the filtrate, and it was concentrated to a thin, cloudy oil, out of which more salts precipitate during concentration. This crude mixture was filtered through a 3-inch plug of silica gel with 750 ml of 15% ethyl acetate in hexanes. The filtrate was concentrated to a thin oil (121.5 g, 100.8% yield).


Step 2. Dicyclohecylamine (9.08 ml, 9.95 g, 54.9 mmol, 1.3 equiv.) was placed in a flame-dried 2-neck 500 ml round-bottom flask and diluted with 100 ml of anhydrous toluene. The resulting solution was cooled to 0° C., and n-BuLi (20.76 ml, 2.5 M in hexanes, 1.23 equiv.) was added dropwise, and the reaction was stirred for 20 minutes at this temperature. Methyl isobutyrate (5.40 ml, 4.80 g, 46.84 mmol, 1.11 equiv.) was then added dropwise over a period of 20-30 minutes. Slow addition in this step is critical to avoid self-condensation of the isobutyrate. The solution was stirred for an additional 30 minutes before addition of the starting bromopyridine (12.76 g [˜11 ml], 42.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) over 1 minute. The solution becomes a dark reddish brown upon addition of the pyridine. Following this addition, the reaction flask was evacuated and back-filled with nitrogen ×3. Prolonged (˜1-2 minute) periods of vacuum are recommended by Hartwig prep. Following this step, bromo(tri-tert-butylphosphine)palladium(I) dimer [P(tBu)3Pd(μ-Br)]2 was added under a stream of nitrogen (24.8 mg, 0.032 mmol, 0.00076 equiv.), after which the reaction was sealed, allowed to warm to room temperature, and stirred for 1 hour. At this point, an additional charge of catalyst was added (27.6 mg, 0.036 mmol, 0.00084 equiv.) and the reaction was stirred an additional 4 hours. There was incomplete conversion of the starting bromide, so an additional charge of catalyst (27.6 mg) was added, and the reaction was stirred overnight. Incomplete conversion after and additional 14 hours. The reaction was quenched by diluting with methyl tert-butyl ether (100 ml) followed by dropwise addition of 1.0 N aqueous HCl (70 ml). The resulting solid was filtered off, and the aqueous layer was removed from the resulting biphasic solution. The organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentration. The crude reaction oil was chromatographed on silica gel (5-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield a light yellow oil (9.64 g, 29.85 mmol, 71% yield).


Note: On larger scale (˜100 mmol), the dropwise addition of methyl isobutyrate was attempted with an addition funnel. Addition of the isobutyrate neat on this scale was a complication, as the addition funnel's slowest addition rate was too fast for this context. Too fast addition of the isboutyrate results in the formation of byproduct A (shown below) which can only be separated by column chromatography after the LiBH4 reduction step.

Step 3. The pyridyl ester starting material (9.64 g, 29.85 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was placed in 60 ml of anhydrous THE (0.5M) and cooled to 0° C. Lithium borohydride (57.7 ml, 2.0 M in THF, 115.4 mmol, 4 equiv) was added dropwise by an addition funnel, after which the reaction was warmed to room temperature and then heated to 45° C. for 6 hours. Upon reaction completion, the reaction was cooled to 0° C. and quenched by dropwise addition of saturated aqueous NH4Cl. Water was intermittently added when salt formation impeded stirring of the reaction mixture. Upon fully quenching remaining borohydride, the reaction was diluted with water to completely dissolve any salts, and the reaction was extracted ×2 with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product oil was wet loaded onto a silica column and chromatographed with a 5-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient. Isolated 7.2 grams of clear oil (84% yield).


Step 4. To the alcohol starting material (11.5 g, 38.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in CH2Cl2 (155 ml, 0.25 M) at room temperature was added Dess Martin periodinane (18.16 g, 42.68 mmol, 1.1 equiv.). The reaction was complete after 15 minutes. Upon completion, the reaction was cooled to 0° C. and 200 ml of a 1:1 mixture of saturated sodium bicarbonate and saturated sodium thiosulfate was added slowly to the reaction mixture. Upon warming to 25° C., mild off-gassing occurs due to protonation of the bicarbonate—this gas evolution will occur violently if the reaction is shaken vigorously before a significant amount of the acetic acid byproduct is quenched. Upon full neutralization of the acetic acid, the organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was washed ×1 with another portion of CH2Cl2. The combined organic phase was washed ×1 sat. NaHCO3, ×1 water, ×1 brine, and concentrated. Upon concentration, salts form in the crude reaction oil. It was filtered through a short silica plug with a solution of 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes, and concentrated to a light yellow oil (10.88 g, 96% yield).


Step 5. Triethyl phosphonoacetate (4.15 ml, 4.69 g, 20.9 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was placed in THE (69 ml, 0.3 M) and cooled to 0° C. NaH (836 mg, 20.9 mmol, 1.1 equiv., 60% in mineral oil) was added portionwise carefully to the resulting solution, and the mixture was stirred for 5 minutes to allow complete deprotonation of the phosphonoacetate. Starting aldehyde (5.59 g, 19.0 mmol) was then added as a solution in THE (19 ml, 1.0 M). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and was stirred overnight (˜14 h). Upon reaction completion, the reaction was concentrated directly onto celite and columned with silica gel (0-20% ethyl acetate/hexanes). Isolated 6.91 g of clear oil (100% yield).


Step 6. Palladium on carbon (10 wt %, 689 mg, 10 wt % equiv.) was placed in a 100-ml flask equipped with stir bar. The flask was evacuated and refilled with nitrogen gas three times, before the addition of starting material (6.89 g, 19.0 mmol) in a solution of methanol (0.5M, 38 ml). The solution was sparged with hydrogen gas for ten minutes, and then stirred at room temperature under an H2 atmosphere for 4 hours. The reaction was monitored by LCMS (SM ion m/z 364, product m/z 366). No new peaks by LCMS or new spots by TLC were observed, so LCMS or HNMR are required to monitor reaction progress. Upon complete consumption of starting material, the reaction was filtered through a short plug of silica gel, which was then rinsed with a 1:1 solution of methanol:CH2Cl2. The solution was then concentrated and taken onto the next step without further purification. The starting material (6.94 g, 19.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in THE (19 ml, 1.0 M). The resulting solution was cooled to 0° C., and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (19.0 ml, 1.0 M in THF, 1.0 equiv.) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature, and the transformation was complete within 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was loaded directly onto celite, and columned (0-50% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to yield 4.46 grams of a clear oil (94% yield, 2 steps).


Step 7. The starting alcohol (4.46 g, 17.77 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) was dissolved in toluene (23.3 ml, 0.8 M). To this solution, diphenylphosphoryl azide (4.62 ml, 5.87 g, 21.32 mmol, 1.2 equiv.) was added, followed by the addition of DBU (3.21 ml, 3.25 g, 21.32 mmol, 1.2 equiv.). The resulting solution turns instantaneously cloudy a few seconds after complete addition of DBU, accompanied by a moderate exotherm. This exotherm is acceptable on small scales but may be a safety concern on larger scales—it is recommended to cool the reaction solution to 0° C. before the addition of DPPA and DBU on larger scales. The reaction was allowed to stir for 14 hours at room temperature, at which time the reaction was deemed complete upon complete consumption of the pyridyl phosphate ester. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organics were separated, washed with brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The crude reaction mixture was columned on silica gel (10% ethyl acetate/hexanes, isocratic) to yield 4.77 g of the product azide as a clear, thin oil (97% yield).


Step 8. A round bottom flask was charged with the azide (414 mg, 1.5 mmol), the alkyne (375 mg, 1.5 mmol), CuSO4.5H2O (19 mg, 5% mol) and sodium ascorbate (59 mg, 20% mol). A 2:1 mixture of tert-butanol and water (mL) was added and the resulting mixture was heated to 65 C. After full consumption of the starting materials as judged by LCMS (2 hours), the mixture was directly loaded onto a silica column and purified by flash chromatography (hexanes/ethyl acetate 0 to 100%) to afford the desired adduct in 97% yield as a yellow pale solid (750 mg). The ester from step a (750 mg, 1.46 mmol) was dissolved in THE (8 mL) and the resulting solution was vigorously stirred. A solution of lithium hydroxide (1 M, 3.0 mL) was then added and the mixture was vigorously stirred at 35° C. until full consumption of the starting ester (12 hours). The medium was cooled to room temperature and excess acetic acid (0.6 mL) was added to quench the reaction mixture. After stirring for 10 minutes, silica (15 grams) was added and the reaction was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (CH2Cl2/0.1% acetic acid in ethyl acetate 0 to 100%) to afford the desired acid in 73% yield as a white solid (530 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Acetone-d6) δ 8.61 (s, 1H), 8.16 (s, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.88-7.84 (m, 2H), 7.80 (dd, J=7.6, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.23 (brs, 2H), 5.83 (s, 2H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 2.85 (brs, 4H), 1.34 (s, 6H).

Step 1: Under a nitrogen atmosphere, a mixture of 2-acetyl-6-methylpyridine (20.0 g, 148 mmol), benzoyl peroxide (4.78 g, 14.8 mmol, 75% in water), NBS (29.0 g, 163 mmol), and acetonitrile (300 mL) was stirred at 85° C. for 19 hours. The mixture was cooled, 10% Na2SO2O3 (aq) was added, and the acetonitrile removed under reduced pressure. Water (100 mL) and sat. NaHCO3 were added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL) and the organic phase dried over Na2SO4. The crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 10% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford a mixture of the desired product and 2-acetyl-6-methylpyridine (4:1 molar ratio, respectively) as a yellow oil (19.98 g; 68%).


Step 2: A mixture of the material from step 1, sodium azide (7.88 g, 121 mmol), and DMSO (101 mL) was stirred at r.t. for 4 hours. Ethyl acetate (500 mL) was added. The organic phase was washed with water (4×300 mL), brine (300 mL), and dried over Na2SO4. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 10% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (13.8 g; 97%).


Step 3: To triethylamine (13.6 mL) at 0° C. was added formic acid (8.0 mL) dropwise. The mixture was the degassed before adding the step 2 product (1.76 g, 10.0 mmol), RuCl(p-cymene)-[(R,R)-Ts-DPEN] (64 mg, 0.100 mmol), and CH2Cl2 (2.7 mL). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 5 hours and concentrated onto silica gel. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 40% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (1.52 g; 85%).


Step 4: To a solution of NCS (1.48 g, 11.1 mmol) in THE (21 mL) at 0° C. was added a solution of triphenylphosphine (2.91 g, 11.1 mmol) in THE (21 mL). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 minutes and a solution of the step 3 product (1.52 g, 8.53 mmol) in THE (2 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 6 hours and concentrated onto silica gel. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 10% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (1.28 g; 77%).


Step 5: A mixture of the step 4 product (295 mg, 1.50 mmol), (S)-methyl pyrrolidine-3-carboxylate hydrochloride (745 mg, 4.50 mmol), K2CO3 (1.24 g, 9.00 mmol), and acetonitrile (1.5 mL) was stirred at 60° C. for 14 hours. Water (20 mL) was added, the crude product was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×20 mL), and was concentrated onto silica gel. The crude product was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 10% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (419 mg; 97%).

Step 1: To a solution of 2-(6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol (2.13 g, 12.7 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (127 mL, 0.1 M) under N2 was added CBr4 (4.7 g, 14.0 mmol, 1.1 equiv) followed by triphenylphosphine (3.7 g, 14.0 mmol, 1.1 equiv). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Following this time, the reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (150 mL). The organic phase was collected, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oil was purified by column chromatography (CH2Cl2→9:1 CH2Cl2:MeOH) to give 2-(6-(bromomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol (2.0 g, 69% yield) as a yellow oil.


Step 2: 2-(6-(bromomethyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol (1.0 g, 4.3 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and 4-pyrazoleboronic acid pinacol ester (928 mg, 4.8 mmol, 1.1 equiv) were taken up in MeCN (23 mL, 0.2 M) and Cs2CO3 (1.6 g, 4.8 mmol, 1.1 equiv) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Upon completion, the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and filtered through a fritted funnel. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(6-((4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol which was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.

Step 1: The dichloropyridine (652 mg, 4.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and the boronic acid (588 mg, 4.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) were dissolved in CH3CN (16 mL, 0.25 M) in a 40 mL vial equipped with a magnetic stir bar. An aqueous solution of K2CO3 (2 M, 2 mL, 4.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was added and the resulting solution was degassed by bubbling N2 for 10 minutes. Pd(PPh3)4 (231 mg, 0.2 mmol, 5 mol %) was then added and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 20 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), filtered over Celite, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography over silica (hexanes/EtOAc gradient 0% to 100%) to afford the product as a white solid (211 mg, 23% yield).
