Description
FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

The present technology relates to turbinmicin analogs, compositions and methods of use thereof. The turbinmicin analogs and compositions containing it are useful as antifungals, and show activity even against multi-drug resistant fungal infections.


BACKGROUND

More than 3-million patients worldwide are afflicted by fungal infections, and this number only continues to rise with increasing at-risk immunocompromised population. Today, only three antifungal drug classes are available for clinical use. The development of new antifungals has been hampered, in part, by the close evolutionary relationship between fungi and their human hosts. In addition to this paucity of drug options, many of the agents exhibit limited efficacy or toxic side-effects. Therefore, despite therapy, patient survival remains unacceptably low. In fact, fungi lead as the cause of infection-related mortality in many cancer and transplant populations. For example, the 90-day survival following a diagnosis of invasive Candida infection approaches 50%. The outcomes are even worse for patients with Aspergillus and other mold infections, with mortality reaching 80-90%. The prevalence of poor outcomes increase further with the recent emergence of pathogens that exhibit resistance to first-line antifungal options. For example, a recent global study of patients with Aspergillus pneumonia identified triazole-resistant Aspergillus sp. in nearly 50% of patients in high-risk groups. Similarly, the utility of echinocandins, first-line agents for treatment of invasive Candida glabrata infection, is currently limited by drug resistance in up to 15% of cases in some medical centers. Most recently, the multidrug resistant “killer fungus”, Candida auris, has emerged and is spreading throughout healthcare facilities. In the United States, C. auris has prompted an urgent threat alert from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof. In the drawings, similar symbols typically identify similar components, unless context dictates otherwise. The illustrative embodiments described in the detailed description, drawings, and claims are not meant to be limiting. Other embodiments may be utilized, and other changes may be made, without departing from the spirit or scope of the subject matter presented here.


The following terms are used throughout as defined below. All other terms and phrases used herein have their ordinary meanings as one of skill in the art would understand.


As used herein and in the appended claims, singular articles such as “a” and “an” and “the” and similar referents in the context of describing the elements (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context.


As used herein, “about” will be understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art and will vary to some extent depending upon the context in which it is used. If there are uses of the term which are not clear to persons of ordinary skill in the art, given the context in which it is used, “about” will mean up to plus or minus 10% of the particular term. In some embodiments, “about” may also refer to plus or minus 5%, 2% or 1% of the particular term.


Generally, reference to a certain element such as hydrogen or H is meant to include all isotopes of that element. For example, if an R group is defined to include hydrogen or H, it also includes deuterium and tritium. Compounds comprising radioisotopes such as tritium, C14, P32 and S35 are thus within the scope of the present technology. Procedures for inserting such labels into the compounds of the present technology will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art based on the disclosure herein.

“Treating” within the context of the instant technology, means alleviation, in whole or in part, of symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or slowing, inhibition or halting of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevention or prophylaxis of the disease or disorder in a subject at risk for developing the disease or disorder. For example, within the context of treating fungal infections, successful treatment may include reduction or eradication of the pathogenic fungus, from the body; clinical benefit; an alleviation of symptoms, such as a reduction or elimination of rash, itching, chafing, burning, throat thrush, redness, soreness, fever, cough, night sweats, weight loss, wheezing, and shortness of breath.


As used herein, an “effective amount” of a compound of the present technology refers to an amount of the compound that alleviates, in whole or in part, symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or slows or halts of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevents or provides prophylaxis for the disease or disorder in a subject at risk for developing the disease or disorder. Those skilled in the art are readily able to determine an effective amount. For example, one way of assessing an effective amount for a particular disease state is by simply administering a compound of the present technology to a patient in increasing amounts until progression of the disease state is decreased or stopped or reversed. An “effective amount” of a compound of the present technology also refers to an amount of the compound that, for example, reduces a population of fungi where the fungal population may be outside a subject (e.g., in a media in a container).


Those of skill in the art will appreciate that compounds of the present technology may exhibit the phenomena of tautomerism, conformational isomerism, geometric isomerism and/or stereoisomerism. As the formula drawings within the specification and claims can represent only one of the possible tautomeric, conformational isomeric, stereoisomeric or geometric isomeric forms, it should be understood that the technology encompasses any tautomeric, conformational isomeric, stereoisomeric and/or geometric isomeric forms of the compounds having one or more of the utilities described herein, as well as mixtures of these various different forms.


Stereoisomers of compounds (also known as optical isomers) include all chiral, diastereomeric, and racemic forms of a structure, unless the specific stereochemistry is expressly indicated. Thus, compounds disclosed herein include enriched or resolved optical isomers at any or all asymmetric atoms as are apparent from the depictions. Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be isolated or synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these stereoisomers are all within the scope of the present technology.


“Tautomers” refers to isomeric forms of a compound that are in equilibrium with each other. The presence and concentrations of the isomeric forms will depend on the environment the compound is found in and may be different depending upon, for example, whether the compound is a solid or is in an organic or aqueous solution. For example, in aqueous solution, imines may exhibit the following isomeric forms, which are referred to as tautomers of each other:

In any embodiment of the present methods, the fungal infection may be caused by one or both of Candida, Fusarium, Scedosporium, Rhizopus, Mucor, Apophysomyces, Lichteimia, Cynninghamella, or Aspergillus. In any embodiments of the present methods, the fungal infection may be caused by Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus fumigatus, or it may be caused by Candida, e.g., Candida albicans, Candida auris, Candida enolase, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, Candida parapsilosis, Candida stellatoidea, Candida parakawsei, Candida lusitaniae, Candida pseudotropicalis, and Candida guilliermondi. In any embodiments of the present methods, the fungal infection may be caused by Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida auris, Candida tropicalis, Rhizopus delemar, Mucor circinelloides, Apophysomyces elegans, Lichteimia corymbiferea, Aspergillus fumigatus, and drug-resistant strains thereof. In any embodiment described herein, the fungal infection may be caused by one or more of drug-resistant fungi, such as, but not limited to, Aspergillus fumigatus (e.g., 11628), Candida albicans, Candida glabrata (e.g., 4720), Candida auris (e.g., B 11211). Similarly, the compounds and compositions described herein may be used for therapy, such as for treatment of fungal infections such as any of those described herein, or for use in the manufacture of a medicament for any such treatments.


In another aspect, the present technology provides pharmaceutical compositions of compound of Formula I with a second antifungal agent (or combination of agents) different from compound of Formula I, including but not limited to azoles, echinocandins, or polyenes, as well as methods of using the same. Antifungal agents include drugs which demonstrate clinical benefit in treatment of fungal infections in a mammal, including a human. Suitable second antifungal agents include but are not limited to one or more of amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, isavuconazole, micafungin, voriconazole, posaconazole and forazoline. In any embodiment described herein, an effective amount of a compound as described herein (e.g., compound of Formula I), a salt thereof or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, may be administered to a mammal in need thereof, wherein the second antifungal agent(s) is/are administered to the mammal in need thereof simultaneously, sequentially or separately with a compound as described herein, or any embodiment of the pharmaceutical composition as describe herein.


The instant technology also provides for compositions and medicaments including a compound disclosed herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Such compositions may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the present technology, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or stereoisomers thereof, with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, binders, diluents or the like to treat fungal infections. The compounds and compositions of the present technology may be used to prepare formulations and medicaments that treat a variety of fungal infections, e.g., Candida and Aspergillus as disclosed herein. Such compositions can be in the form of, for example, granules, powders, tablets, capsules, creams, ointments, syrup, suppositories, injections, emulsions, elixirs, suspensions or solutions. The instant compositions can be formulated for various routes of administration, for example, by oral, parenteral, topical, injection, rectal, nasal, vaginal, or via implanted reservoir. Parenteral or systemic administration includes, but is not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneally, intramuscular, intrathecal, intracranial, and intracerebroventricular injections. The following dosage forms are given by way of example and should not be construed as limiting the instant technology.


For oral, buccal, and sublingual administration, powders, suspensions, granules, tablets, pills, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets are acceptable as solid dosage forms. These can be prepared, for example, by mixing one or more compounds disclosed herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomers thereof, with at least one additive such as a starch or other additive. Suitable additives are sucrose, lactose, cellulose sugar, mannitol, maltitol, dextran, starch, agar, alginates, chitins, chitosans, pectins, tragacanth gum, gum arabic, gelatins, collagens, casein, albumin, synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers or glycerides. Optionally, oral dosage forms can contain other ingredients to aid in administration, such as an inactive diluent, or lubricants such as magnesium stearate, or preservatives such as paraben or sorbic acid, or anti-oxidants such as ascorbic acid, tocopherol or cysteine, a disintegrating agent, binders, thickeners, buffers, sweeteners, flavoring agents or perfuming agents. Tablets and pills may be further treated with suitable coating materials known in the art.


Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, and solutions, which may contain an inactive diluent, such as water. Pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be prepared as liquid suspensions or solutions using a sterile liquid, such as, but not limited to, an oil, water, an alcohol, and combinations of these. Pharmaceutically suitable surfactants, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, may be added for oral or parenteral administration.


As noted above, suspensions may include oils. Such oils include, but are not limited to, peanut oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil and olive oil. Suspension preparation may also contain esters of fatty acids such as ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, fatty acid glycerides and acetylated fatty acid glycerides. Suspension formulations may include alcohols, such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, glycerol and propylene glycol. Ethers, such as but not limited to, poly(ethyleneglycol), petroleum hydrocarbons such as mineral oil and petrolatum; and water may also be used in suspension formulations.


Injectable dosage forms generally include aqueous suspensions or oil suspensions, which may be prepared using a suitable dispersant or wetting agent and a suspending agent. Injectable forms may be in solution phase or in the form of a suspension, which is prepared with a solvent or diluent. Acceptable solvents or vehicles include sterilized water, Ringer's solution, or an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Alternatively, sterile oils may be employed as solvents or suspending agents. Typically, the oil or fatty acid is non-volatile, including natural or synthetic oils, fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides.


For injection, the pharmaceutical formulation and/or medicament may be a powder suitable for reconstitution with an appropriate solution as described above. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, freeze dried, rotary dried or spray dried powders, amorphous powders, granules, precipitates, or particulates. For injection, the formulations may optionally contain stabilizers, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these.


Compounds of the present technology also may be formulated as a composition for topical administration (e.g., vaginal cream). These formulations may contain various excipients known to those skilled in the art. Suitable excipients may include, but are not limited to, cetyl esters wax, cetyl alcohol, white wax, glyceryl monostearate, propylene glycol monostearate, methyl stearate, benzyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerin, mineral oil, water, carbomer, ethyl alcohol, acrylate adhesives, polyisobutylene adhesives, and silicone adhesives.


The composition may be in the form of a vaginal cream containing the composition of matter as set forth herein present in a nonliquefying base. The nonliquefying base may contain various inactive ingredients such as, for example, cetyl esters wax, cetyl alcohol, white wax, glyceryl monostearate, propylene glycol monostearate, methyl stearate, benzyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate, glycerin, and mineral oil. Such composition may be formulated similar to PREMARIN® Vaginal Cream made commercially available by Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories.


Dosage units for rectal administration may be prepared in the form of suppositories which may contain the composition of matter in a mixture with a neutral fat base, or they may be prepared in the form of gelatin-rectal capsules which contain the active substance in a mixture with a vegetable oil or paraffin oil.


Compounds of the present technology may be administered to the lungs by inhalation through the nose or mouth. Suitable pharmaceutical formulations for inhalation include solutions, sprays, dry powders, or aerosols containing any appropriate solvents and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. Formulations for inhalation administration contain as excipients, for example, lactose, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate and deoxycholate. Aqueous and nonaqueous aerosols are typically used for delivery of inventive compounds by inhalation.


Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of the compound together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular compound, but typically include nonionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins such as serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars or sugar alcohols. Aerosols generally are prepared from isotonic solutions. A nonaqueous suspension (e.g., in a fluorocarbon propellant) can also be used to deliver compounds of the present technology.


Aerosols containing compounds for use according to the present technology are conveniently delivered using an inhaler, atomizer, pressurized pack or a nebulizer and a suitable propellant, e.g., without limitation, pressurized dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, nitrogen, air, or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be controlled by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, for example, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. Delivery of aerosols of the present technology using sonic nebulizers is advantageous because nebulizers minimize exposure of the agent to shear, which can result in degradation of the compound.


For nasal administration, the pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be a spray, nasal drops or aerosol containing an appropriate solvent(s) and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. For administration in the form of nasal drops, the compounds may be formulated in oily solutions or as a gel. For administration of nasal aerosol, any suitable propellant may be used including compressed air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or a hydrocarbon based low boiling solvent.


Besides those representative dosage forms described above, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers are generally known to those skilled in the art and are thus included in the instant present technology. Such excipients and carriers are described, for example, in “Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences” Mack Pub. Co., New Jersey (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference.


The formulations of the present technology may be designed to be short-acting, fast-releasing, long-acting, and sustained-releasing as described below. Thus, the pharmaceutical formulations may also be formulated for controlled release or for slow release.


The instant compositions may also comprise, for example, micelles or liposomes, or some other encapsulated form, or may be administered in an extended release form to provide a prolonged storage and/or delivery effect. Therefore, the pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be compressed into pellets or cylinders and implanted intramuscularly or subcutaneously as depot injections or as implants such as stents. Such implants may employ known inert materials such as silicones and biodegradable polymers.


Specific dosages may be adjusted depending on conditions of disease, the age, body weight, general health conditions, sex, and diet of the subject, dose intervals, administration routes, excretion rate, and combinations of drugs. Any of the above dosage forms containing effective amounts are well within the bounds of routine experimentation and therefore, well within the scope of the instant technology.


A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present technology may vary depending upon the route of administration and dosage form. Effective amounts of such compounds typically fall in the range of about 0.01 up to about 100 mg/kg/day, or about 0.05 to about 50 mg/kg/day, and more typically in the range of about 0.1 up to 5 mg/kg/day or 10 mg/kg/day. Typically, the compound or compounds of the instant technology are selected to provide a formulation that exhibits a high therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects and can be expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. The LD50 is the dose lethal to 50% of the population and the ED50 is the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population. The LD50 and ED50 are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in animal cell cultures or experimental animals.


All publications, patent applications, issued patents, and other documents referred to in this specification are herein incorporated by reference as if each individual publication, patent application, issued patent, or other document was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference in its entirety. Definitions that are contained in text incorporated by reference are excluded to the extent that they contradict definitions in this disclosure.


The present technology is further illustrated by the following examples, which should not be construed as limiting in any way.

Example 23: In Vitro Biological Activity

In vitro MIC susceptibility testing. Turbinmicin analogs of the present disclosure were tested for antifungal activity against four Candida isolates, C. albicans K-1, C. tropicalis 98-234, C. auris B 11211, and C. glabrata 4720, and MICs were determined using a broth microdilution method for yeasts. A turbinmicin analog was dissolved in DMSO, serially diluted to 10 concentrations (0.125-64 μg/mL), and tested in a 96-well plate in RPMI medium. Amphotericin B was used as a positive control and the MICs range were 0.25-1.5 μg/mL. Six untreated media controls were included on each plate. The plates were incubated at 33° C. for 24 hours. The MICs were determined as the lowest concentration that inhibited visible growth. The MICs were read at 24. Results are shown in Table 1 for turbinmicin analog activity against various fungi, including drug-resistant fungi.
