Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and use of such compounds in methods of treatment or in medicaments for treatment of inflammatory diseases and certain neurological disorders that are related to inflammatory signaling processes, including but not limited to misfolded proteins.


BACKGROUND

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are sentinel receptors of the immune system. When these receptors are activated on cell surfaces, they initiate recruitment of a family of TIR-domain containing adapter proteins, which induce a signaling cascade that ultimately results in cell-type specific inflammatory responses, resulting in the elevation of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL1, IL6, IL8 and TNFα. Of the different TLR receptors expressed on mammalian cells, TLR2 forms heterodimers with either TLR1 or TLR6 to initiate inflammatory responses with various microbial derived ligands. Among the various bacterial ligands are lipopolysaccharides (LPS), acylated lipopeptides, lipoglycans, peptidoglycans, porins, glycosylphosphatidyl-inosol anchors, and other bacterial cell wall components such as lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Streptococcus pneumonia. In addition to the microbial activation of TLR2, it has also been found that abnormal aggregation of neuron released oligomeric proteins such as alpha-synuclein (aSyn) can induce similar inflammatory responses in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). See, e.g., Kim et al., Nat. Commun. 2013, 4, 1562.


The ability of TLR2 to induce signaling via heterodimers allows discrimination between various recognition patterns, which allows for the design of ligands with specific inhibition patterns. Kajava et al., J. Biol. Chem. 2010, 285, 6227. Inhibitors that compete primarily with a specific pathological agonist, such as oligomeric pathogenic alpha-synuclein, but do not affect other ligands involved in pro-inflammatory signaling of bacterial or viral infections or non-competitive TIR-Myd88 inhibitors, such as compounds that function indirectly as non-competitive inhibitors of TLR2 though intracellular TIR-Myd88 inhibition, would therefore be useful as potential therapeutic agents.


The function of Toll-like receptors has been linked to various protein folding, protein dimerization, and inflammatory processes and to related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (Gambuzza, M. et al., “Toll-like receptors in Alzheimer's disease: a therapeutic perspective,” CNS Neurol. Disord. Drug Targets 2014, 13(9), 1542-58), Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease with dementia (Beraud, D. et al., “Misfolded α-synuclein and Toll-like receptors: therapeutic targets for Parkinson's disease,” Parkinsonism Relat. Disord. 2012, 18 (Suppl. 1), S17-20), fronto-temporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies (Lewy body disease), multiple system atrophy (Vieira, B. et al., “Neuroinflammation in multiple system atrophy: Response to and cause of α-synuclein aggregation,” Front.

R. et al., “Huntington's disease and its therapeutic target genes: a global functional profile based on the HD Research Crossroads database,” BMC Neurology 2012, 12, 47), inflammatory diseases, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Zuo, L. et al., “Molecular regulation of Toll-like receptors in asthma and COPD,” Front. Physiol. 2016, 6, 312), chronic peptic ulcers (Smith, S., “Roll of Toll-like receptors in Helicobacter pylori infection and immunity,” World J. Gastrointest. Pathophysiol. 2014, 5(3), 133-146), tuberculosis (Harding, C. V. et al., “Regulation of antigen presentation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis: a role for Toll-like receptors,” Nat. Rev. Microbiol. 2010, 8(4), 296-307), rheumatoid arthritis (Huang, Q.-Q. et al., “Roll of Toll like receptors in rheumatoid arthritis,” Curr. Rheumatol. Rep. 2009, 11(5), 357-364), chronic sinusitis (Zhang, Q. et al., “Differential expression of Toll-like receptor pathway genes in chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps,” Acta Otolaryngol. 2013, 133(2), 165-173), hepatitis (including hepatitis B and C) (Zhang, E. et al., “Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated innate immune responses in control of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection,” Med. Microbiol. Immunol. 2015, 204(1), 11-20; Howell, J. et al., “Toll-like receptors in hepatitis C infection: implications for pathogenesis and treatment,” J. Gastroenterol. Hepatol. 2013, 28(5), 766-776), gout, lupus, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (Santegoets, K. C. M. et al., “Toll-like receptors in rheumatic diseases: are we paying a high price for our defense against bugs?” FEBS Letters 2011, 585(23), 3660-3666), vasculitis, laryngitis, pleurisy (Chen, X. et al., “Engagement of Toll-like receptor 2 on CD4(+) T cells facilitates local immune responses in patients with tuberculous pleurisy,” J. Infect. Dis. 2009, 200(3), 399-408), eczema (Miller, L. S., “Toll-like receptors in skin,” Adv. Dermatol. 2008, 24, 71-87), gastritis (Schmausser, B. et al., “Toll-like receptors TLR4, TLRS and TLR9 on gastric carcinoma cells: an implication for interaction with Helicobacter pylori,” Int. J. Med. Microbiol. 2005, 295(3), 179-85), vasculitis (Song, G. G. et al., “Toll-like receptor polymorphisms and vasculitis susceptibility: meta-analysis and systematic review,” Mol. Biol. Rep. 2013, 40(2), 1315-23), laryngitis (King, S. N. et al., “Characterization of the Leukocyte Response in Acute Vocal Fold Injury,” PLoS One, 2015; 10(10): e0139260), allergic reactions (Gangloff, S. C. et al., “Toll-like receptors and immune response in allergic disease,” Clin. Rev. Allergy Immunol. 2004, 26(2), 115-25), multiple sclerosis (Miranda-Hernandez, S. et al., “Role of toll-like receptors in multiple sclerosis,” Am. J. Clin. Exp. Immunol. 2013, 2(1), 75-93), Crohn's disease (Cario, E., “Toll-like receptors in inflammatory bowel diseases: A decade later,” Inflamm. Bowel Dis. 2010, 16(9), 1583-1597), and traumatic brain injury (Hua, F. et al., “Genomic profile of Toll-like receptor pathways in traumatically brain-injured mice: effect of exogenous progesterone,” J. Neuroinflammation 2011, 8, 42).


The signal transduction path of TLR2 can be activated either through the external domain (agonist pocket) or by mechanisms involving the cytoplasmic TIR domain, that mediates homotypic and heterotypic interactions during signaling. The proteins MyD88 and TIRAP (Mal) are involved in this type of signaling.


Importantly, a conserved proline P681 in TLR2 within the BB loop is (Brown V. et. al. (2006) European Journal of immunology 36, 742-753) is involved in the dimerization mechanism. A mutation in this loop from P681H abolishes recruitment of MyD88 and signaling. Thus compounds that bind in the vicinity of this loop and restrict its movement during the dimerization process would be useful as inhibitors of the activation of TLR2.


Described herein are compounds that serve as antagonists of TLR2 with high potency and selectivity.

Any formula or compound given herein, such as Formula (A), (A-1), (A-2), (I), (Ia), or (Ib), or compounds of Table 1, is intended to represent compounds having structures depicted by the structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. In particular, compounds of any formula given herein may contain bonds with restricted rotation and therefore exist in different geometric configurations. Where a compound of Table 1 is depicted as a particular geometric isomer (e.g., E or Z isomer, or cis or trans isomer), also provided herein is any alternative geometric configuration of the compound, as well as a mixture of geometric isomers of the compound in any ratio. For example, where a compound of Table 1 is depicted as a “Z” isomer, also provided herein is the “E” isomer of the compound. Likewise, where a compound of Table 1 is depicted as a “E” isomer, also provided herein is the “Z” isomer of the compound. Also provided are mixtures of the compound with both the “E” and the “Z” stereochemical configuration, wherein the mixtures are in any ratio. Similarly, where a compound of Table 1 is depicted as a “cis” isomer, also provided herein is the “trans” isomer of the compound; and where a compound is depicted as a “trans” isomer, also provided herein is the “cis” isomer of the compound. Also provided are mixtures of the compound with both the “cis” and the “trans” stereochemical configuration, wherein the mixtures are in any ratio. Additionally, compounds of any formula provided herein may have asymmetric centers and therefore exist in different enantiomeric or diastereomeric forms. All optical isomers and stereoisomers of the compounds of the general formula, and mixtures thereof in any ratio, are considered within the scope of the formula. Thus, any formula given herein is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms (e.g., geoisomeric forms), and mixtures thereof in any ratio. Where a compound of Table 1 is depicted with a particular stereochemical configuration, also provided herein is any alternative stereochemical configuration of the compound, as well as a mixture of stereoisomers of the compound in any ratio. Any compound of Table 1 is intended to represent a racemate, one or more enantiomeric forms, one or more diastereomeric forms, one or more atropisomeric forms (e.g., geoisomeric forms), and mixtures thereof in any ratio. Furthermore, certain structures may exist as tautomers or as atropisomers. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to refer to hydrates, solvates, and amorphous forms of such compounds, and mixtures thereof, even if such forms are not listed explicitly. In some embodiments, the solvent is water and the solvates are hydrates.

Any formula depicted herein is intended to represent a compound of that structural formula as well as certain variations or forms. For example, a formula given herein is intended to include a racemic form, or one or more enantiomeric, diastereomeric, or geometric isomers, or a mixture thereof. Additionally, any formula given herein is intended to refer also to a hydrate, solvate, or polymorph of such a compound, or a mixture thereof.


Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms of the compounds. Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31P, 32P, 35S, 18F, 36Cl, and 125I, respectively. Such isotopically labeled compounds are useful in metabolic studies (preferably with 14C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example 2H or 3H), detection or imaging techniques [such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)] including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an 18F or 11C labeled compound may be particularly preferred for PET or SPECT studies. PET and SPECT studies may be performed as described, for example, by Brooks, D. J., “Positron Emission Tomography and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography in Central Nervous System Drug Development,” NeuroRx 2005, 2(2), 226-236, and references cited therein. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., 2H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting a readily available isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.


The nomenclature “Ci-j” with j>i, when applied herein to a class of substituents, is meant to refer to embodiments of the present disclosure for which each and every one of the number of carbon members, from i to j including i and j, is independently realized. By way of example, the term C1-3 refers independently to embodiments that have one carbon member (C1), embodiments that have two carbon members (C2), and embodiments that have three carbon members (C3).


Any disubstituent referred to herein is meant to encompass the various attachment possibilities when more than one of such possibilities are allowed. For example, reference to disubstituent -A-B—, where A≠B, refers herein to such disubstituent with A attached to a first substituted member and B attached to a second substituted member, and it also refers to such disubstituent with A attached to the second substituted member and B attached to the first substituted member.


The present disclosure also includes pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds represented by Formula (A), (A-1), (A-2), (I), (Ia), or (Ib), or the compounds of Table 1, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such salts, and methods of using such salts.

The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs of the compounds of Formula (A), (A-1), (A-2), (I), (Ia), or (Ib), or the compounds of Table 1, and treatment methods employing such pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs. The term “prodrug” means a precursor of a designated compound that, following administration to a subject, yields the compound in vivo via a chemical or physiological process such as solvolysis or enzymatic cleavage, or under physiological conditions (e.g., a prodrug on being brought to physiological pH is converted to the formula compound). A “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” is a prodrug that is non-toxic, biologically tolerable, and otherwise biologically suitable for administration to the subject. Illustrative procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described, for example, in “Design of Prodrugs”, ed. H. Bundgaard, Elsevier, 1985.


The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutically active metabolites of compounds of Formula (A), (A-1), (A-2), (I), (Ia), or (Ib), or the compounds of Table 1, and uses of such metabolites in the methods provided herein. A “pharmaceutically active metabolite” means a pharmacologically active product of metabolism in the body of a compound of Formula (A), (A-1), (A-2), (I), (Ia), or (Ib), or the compounds of Table 1, or a salt of any of the foregoing.

The lubricating agent, if present, may be magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc. If desired, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, or may be coated with an enteric coating.


Capsules for oral administration include hard and soft gelatin capsules. To prepare hard gelatin capsules, active ingredient(s) may be mixed with a solid, semi-solid, or liquid diluent. Soft gelatin capsules may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with water, an oil such as peanut oil or olive oil, liquid paraffin, a mixture of mono and di-glycerides of short chain fatty acids, polyethylene glycol 400, or propylene glycol.


Liquids for oral administration may be in the form of suspensions, solutions, emulsions, or syrups, or may be lyophilized or presented as a dry product for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid compositions may optionally contain: pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients such as suspending agents (for example, sorbitol, methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminum stearate gel and the like); non-aqueous vehicles, e.g., oil (for example, almond oil or fractionated coconut oil), propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, or water; preservatives (for example, methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid); wetting agents such as lecithin; and, if desired, flavoring or coloring agents.


The inventive compositions may be formulated for rectal administration as a suppository. For parenteral use, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or subcutaneous routes, the agents of the present disclosure may be provided in sterile aqueous solutions or suspensions, buffered to an appropriate pH and isotonicity or in parenterally acceptable oil. Suitable aqueous vehicles include Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride. Such forms may be presented in unit-dose form such as ampoules or disposable injection devices, in multi-dose forms such as vials from which the appropriate dose may be withdrawn, or in a solid form or pre-concentrate that can be used to prepare an injectable formulation. Illustrative infusion doses range from about 1 to 1000 μg/kg/minute of agent admixed with a pharmaceutical carrier over a period ranging from several minutes to several days.


For nasal, inhaled, or oral administration, the inventive pharmaceutical compositions may be administered using, for example, a spray formulation also containing a suitable carrier.


For topical applications, the compounds of the present disclosure may be formulated as creams or ointments or a similar vehicle suitable for topical administration. For topical administration, the inventive compounds may be mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier at a concentration of about 0.1% to about 10% of drug to vehicle. Another mode of administering the agents of the present disclosure may utilize a patch formulation to effect transdermal delivery.


As used herein, “treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining a beneficial or desired result, including clinical results. For purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to: reducing the severity of or suppressing the worsening of a disease, symptom, or condition, alleviating a symptom and/or diminishing the extent of a symptom and/or preventing a worsening of a symptom associated with a condition, arresting the development of a disease, symptom, or condition, relieving the disease, symptom, or condition, causing regression of the disease, disorder, or symptom (in terms of severity or frequency of negative symptoms), or stopping the symptoms of the disease or condition. Beneficial or desired results can also be slowing, halting, or reversing the progressive course of a disease or condition. For example, beneficial effects may include slowing the progression of Parkinson's disease from an earlier stage (e.g., prodromal stage or stage 1, 2 or 3) to a later stage (e.g., stage 4 or 5), or halting Parkinson's disease at a prodromal or early stage.


As used herein, “delaying” development of a disease or condition means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize and/or postpone development of the disease or condition. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease or condition. For example, a method that “delays” development of Parkinson's disease (e.g., in a prodromal individual) is a method that reduces probability of disease development in a given time frame and/or reduces extent of the disease in a given time frame, when compared to not using the method.


The term “subject” refers to a mammalian patient in need of such treatment, such as a human. A “subject” may be a human, or may be a cat, dog, cow, rat, mouse, horse, or other domesticated mammal.


Exemplary diseases that are characterized by protein aggregation include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, fronto-temporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies (Lewy body disease), Parkinson's disease with dementia, multiple system atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease, as well inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic peptic ulcers, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic sinusitis, hepatitis (such as hepatitis B or C), gout, lupus, pleurisy, eczema, gastritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, laryngitis, allergic reactions, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, traumatic brain injury, CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy), atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, rosacea, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatisis, corneal wounds, corneal disorders, Stargardt disease (Juvenile macular degeneration), age-related macular degeneration, sepsis, diabetic wounds, herpes simplex virus, and anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, antiviral and antitumor diseases or conditions. Additional exemplary diseases include Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), Niemann-Pick disease type C, irritable bowel disease, osteoarthritis, corneal HSV, stroke, and ischemic heart disease.


In one aspect, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure specifically target TLR2 protein dimers. Thus, these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be used to prevent, reverse, slow, or inhibit dimerization of TLR2 proteins with other natural protein ligands, and are used in methods of the present disclosure to treat neurological and inflammatory diseases related to or caused by such dimerization. In some embodiments, methods of treatment target Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease, multiple system atrophy, atopic dermatitis, traumatic brain injury, or multiple sclerosis. The compounds, compositions, and method of the present disclosure are also used to mitigate deleterious effects that are secondary to protein dimerization and/or misfolding, such as neuronal cell death.


In some aspects, the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present disclosure are used to inhibit TLR2 dimerization. In alternative aspects, the compounds, compositions, and methods of the present disclosure are used to inhibit TLR2 dimerization with TLR1, or with TLR6, or both.


In the inhibitory methods of the present disclosure, an “effective amount” means an amount sufficient to reduce, slow the progression of, or reverse TLR2 dimerization. Measuring the amount of dimerization may be performed by routine analytical methods such as those described below. Such modulation is useful in a variety of settings, including in vitro assays. In some embodiments of such methods, the cell is a nerve cell or an HEK or THP cell.


In treatment methods according to the present disclosure, an “effective amount” means an amount or dose sufficient to generally bring about the desired therapeutic benefit in subjects needing such treatment. Effective amounts or doses of the compounds of the present disclosure may be ascertained by routine methods, such as modeling, dose escalation, or clinical trials, taking into account routine factors, e.g., the mode or route of administration or drug delivery, the pharmacokinetics of the agent, the severity and course of the infection, the subject's health status, condition, and weight, and the judgment of the treating physician. An exemplary dose is in the range of about 1 μg to 2 mg of active agent per kilogram of subject's body weight per day, such as about 0.05 to 100 mg/kg/day, or about 1 to 35 mg/kg/day, or about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg/day. In alternative embodiments an exemplary dose is in the range of about 1 mg to about 1 g per day, or about 1-500, 1-250, 1-100, 1-50, 50-500, or 250-500 mg per day. The total dosage may be given in single or divided dosage units (e.g., BID, TID, QID).


Once improvement of the patient's disease has occurred, the dose may be adjusted for preventative or maintenance treatment. For example, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect is maintained. Of course, if symptoms have been alleviated to an appropriate level, treatment may cease. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms. Patients may also require chronic treatment on a long-term basis.


Drug Combinations


The inventive compounds described herein may be used in pharmaceutical compositions or methods in combination with one or more additional active ingredients in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Further additional active ingredients for cancer applications include other cancer therapeutics or agents that mitigate adverse effects of cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Such combinations may serve to increase efficacy, ameliorate other disease symptoms, decrease one or more side effects, or decrease the required dose of an inventive compound. The additional active ingredients may be administered in a separate pharmaceutical composition from a compound of the present disclosure or may be included with a compound of the present disclosure in a single pharmaceutical composition. The additional active ingredients may be administered simultaneously with, prior to, or after administration of a compound of the present disclosure.


Combination agents include additional active ingredients are those that are known or discovered to be effective in treating the diseases, disorders, conditions, and symptoms discussed herein, including those active against another target associated with the disease, disorder, or symptom such as but not limited to, a) compounds that address protein misfolding (such as drugs which reduce the production of these proteins, which increase their clearance or which alter their aggregation and/or propagation); b) compounds that treat symptoms of such disorders (e.g., dopamine replacement therapies); and c) drugs that act as neuroprotectants by complementary mechanisms (e.g., those targeting autophagy, those that are anti-oxidants, and those acting by other mechanisms such as adenosine A2A antagonists).


For example, compositions and formulations of the present disclosure, as well as methods of treatment, can further comprise other drugs or pharmaceuticals, e.g., other active agents useful for treating or palliative for a neurological or inflammatory diseases related to or caused by TLR2 dimerization, e.g., Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Lewy body disease (LBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA), or related symptoms or conditions. For example, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may additional comprise one or more of such active agents, and methods of treatment may additionally comprise administering an effective amount of one or more of such active agents. In certain embodiments, additional active agents may be antibiotics (e.g., antibacterial or bacteriostatic peptides or proteins), e.g., those effective against gram positive or negative bacteria, fluids, cytokines, immunoregulatory agents, anti-inflammatory agents, complement activating agents, such as peptides or proteins comprising collagen-like domains or fibrinogen-like domains (e.g., a ficolin), carbohydrate-binding domains, and the like and combinations thereof. Additional active agents include those useful in such compositions and methods include dopamine therapy drugs, catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors, monamine oxidase inhibitors, cognition enhancers (such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or memantine), adenosine 2A receptor antagonists, beta-secretase inhibitors, or gamma-secretase inhibitors.

General Synthetic Methods

The compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared by a number of processes as generally described below and more specifically in the Examples hereinafter (such as the schemes provided in the Examples below). In the following process descriptions, the symbols when used in the formulae depicted are to be understood to represent those groups described above in relation to the formulae herein.


Where it is desired to obtain a particular enantiomer of a compound, this may be accomplished from a corresponding mixture of enantiomers using any suitable conventional procedure for separating or resolving enantiomers. Thus, for example, diastereomeric derivatives may be produced by reaction of a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemate, and an appropriate chiral compound. The diastereomers may then be separated by any convenient means, for example by crystallization and the desired enantiomer recovered. In another resolution process, a racemate may be separated using chiral High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Alternatively, if desired a particular enantiomer may be obtained by using an appropriate chiral intermediate in one of the processes described.


Chromatography, recrystallization and other conventional separation procedures may also be used with intermediates or final products where it is desired to obtain a particular isomer of a compound or to otherwise purify a product of a reaction.


Solvates of a compound provided herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are also contemplated. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of a solvent, and are often formed during the process of crystallization.

Biological Example 1: In Vitro Assay

Synthetic diacylated lipoprotein (Pam2CSK4, TLR2/6 agonist) and synthetic triacylated lipoprotein (Pam3CSK4, TLR1/2 agonist) were obtained from InvivoGen and were dissolved in endotoxin-free water to a concentration 1 mg/mL, vortexed until complete solubilization, and stored in aliquots at −20° C. Prior to addition to cells, an aliquot of the dissolved ligand was vortexed shortly and then was diluted in medium to 25 ng/mL Pam2CSK4 or 1000 ng/mL Pam3CSK4. The EC50 of the agonists for each assay run was determined by using 3-fold dilutions of each agonist from the following starting concentrations: 5 ng/mL for Pam2CSK4, and 200 ng/mL for Pam3CSK4.


Test compounds were solubilized fresh to 10-20 mM stocks in DMSO and sonicated for 5-10 minutes in a water bath sonicator. Serial dilutions were prepared in DMSO, and then diluted in medium. The final concentration of DMSO used in the assay was 1%.


HEK-Blue hTLR2 reporter cells (InvivoGen) are HEK-293 cells stably expressing both the human TLR2 gene and a secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter construct downstream of NFKB promotor sites. HEK-Blue hTLR2 reporters were cultured according to manufacturer's protocol using Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Gibco) containing 1× GlutaMax (Gibco), 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (Gibco), Pen-Strep (50 U/mL penicillin, 50 μg/mL streptomycin, Gibco), 100 μg/mL Normocin (InvivoGen), and the selective antibiotic, 1× HEK-Blue Selection (InvivoGen). Quanti-Blue reagent (InvivoGen) for detection and quantification of secreted alkaline phosphatase was dissolved in 100 mL of endotoxin-free water, warmed to 37° C. for 30 minutes and then filtered using a 0.2 μm membrane.


Biological Example 2: HEK-Blue hTLR2 Antagonism Assay

On day 1, 50 μL of each test compound dilution in duplicates or a vehicle control was added to each well of a 96-well plate followed by addition of 150 μL of HEK-Blue hTLR2 cell suspension (1×105 cells/well) and incubated at 37° C/5% CO2 for 2 h. Next, 50 μL of an approximate 3×EC50 concentration of each agonist (Pam2CSK4 or Pam3CSK4) was added to the wells containing test compounds or the vehicle control. The plates were then incubated at 37° C/5% CO2 for 18 h. For each assay run, non-treated HEK-Blue hTLR2 cells were treated with serial dilutions of agonists to determine EC50 values for the respective run.


On day 2, secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) activity was detected in cell culture supernatants. In brief, 20 μL was collected from each well and transferred to a 96-well plate. Next, 200 μL of Quanti-Blue detection reagent was added to each well. Plates were incubated at room temperature for 15 min and SEAP activity was assessed by spectrophotometer OD reading at 655 nm. Table A shows the activities of the compounds tested in HEK cells using Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4 as agonists. The activities of the compounds against Pam2CSK4 and Pam3CSK4 are presented as IC50 values for the response from cells treated with agonists with the background signal subtracted.
