Inactive precursor proteins of many enzymes, receptors and secreted proteins require processing and maturation to exert their biological functions (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766). The proteolytic cleavage of pro-peptide sequences is dependent on the proprotein convertase (PC) family of calcium-dependent endoproteases. This PC family consists of the following serine proteases: proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 1 (PCSK1), PCSK2, furin/PCSK3, PCSK4, PCSK5, PCSK6/paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme 4 (PACE4), PCSK7, PCSK8/subtilisin kexin isoenzyme 1 (SK-1)/membrane bound transcription factor peptidase site 1 (MBTPS1) and PCSK9 (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766; Nakayama K. Biochem. J. 1997, 327(3), 625-635; Klein-Szanto A J, Bassi D E. Biochem. Pharmacol. 2017, 140, 8-15; Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467). Among these PCSKs, furin (PCSK3) is well characterized and the most widely studied family member with diverse biological functions.
Furin is a 794 amino-acid type 1 transmembrane protein that is ubiquitously expressed in many cell types (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766). It consists of the highly-conserved domain structure commonly found in PCSKs, including an N-terminal signal peptide, an inhibitory prodomain, a catalytic peptidase S8/S53 domain, a P domain, a cysteine-rich region and a cytoplasmic domain (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766; Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467). The prodomain is essential for the proper folding, activation, and transport of furin, whereas the P domain regulates enzyme activity of the catalytic domain by modulating pH/calcium-dependent autoproteolytic cleavage process (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766; Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467). Lastly, the cytoplasmic domain of furin allows for both efficient internalization from the plasma membrane and fast retrieval from the plasma membrane to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766).
Furin is predominantly localized in the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and the endosomal system, where it processes most of its diverse substrates in vivo. Furin's endoprotease activity is unmasked by release of its prodomain fragment, enabling furin to functionally process substrates in trans (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766). Positioned after the carboxy-terminal arginine (Arg) residue, the cleavage site that furin cleaves is the sequence: -Arg-X-Lys/Arg-Arg↓- (Lys is lysine, X is any amino acid and ↓ identifies the cleavage site). Based on this substrate peptide amino acid motif, furin has >400 predicted target protein substrates, including hormones, growth factors, enzymes, receptors, neuropeptides, and infective agents (Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467; Shiryaev S A, Chernov A V, Golubkov V S, Thomsen E R, Chudin E, Chee M S, et al. PLoS One 2013, 8(1), e54290) (www.ebi.ac.uk/merops). The importance of the biological role of furin-dependent proteolytic processing can be further exemplified by the phenotypes of various studies with knock-out mice.
Germ-line furin knock-out mice studies demonstrate an important role for furin in embryonic development with embryonic lethality occurring between day 10.5 and 11.5. Failure of ventral closure and axial rotation as well as the absence of chorioallantoic fusion was observed. The impact of furin knock-down in endothelial cells resulted in cardiovascular defects, which included septal and valvular defects that may be attributed to impaired processing of TGFβ (Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467; Roebroek A J, Umans L, Pauli I G, Robertson E J, van Leuven F, Van de Ven W J, et al. Development 1998, 125(24), 4863-4876; Seidah N G, Prat A. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2012, 11(5), 367-383; Constam D B, Robertson E J. Development 2000, 127(2), 245-254; Susan-Resiga D, Essalmani R, Hamelin J, Asselin M C, Benjannet S, Chamberland A, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2011, 286(26), 22785-22794). However, knock-out of furin in the liver of adult mice (inducible Mx1-Cre transgene) is not lethal, and typical substrates of furin were cleaved although less efficiently pointing to possible redundancy among the PCSKs (Klein-Szanto A J, Bassi D E. Biochem. Pharmacol. 2017, 140, 8-15; Roebroek A J, Taylor N A, Louagie E, Pauli I, Smeijers L, Snellinx A, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2004, 279(51), 53442-53450). In addition, targeted deletion of furin in T cells caused functional impairment of regulatory and effector T cells as a result of defective TGFβ 1 signaling (Pesu M, Watford W T, Wei L, Xu L, Fuss I, Strober W, et al. Nature 2008, 455(7210), 246-250). These observations implicate the role of furin in TGFβ biology and the potential therapeutic use of furin inhibitors for TGFβ-dependent diseases.
TGFβ family members play a key role in fibrosis (Dubois C M, Blanchette F, Laprise M H, Leduc R, Grondin F, Seidah N G. Am. J. Pathol. 2001, 158(1), 305-316), and TGFβ1 is elevated in fibrotic organs, such as heart, lung, and kidney (Pohlers D, Brenmoehl J, Löffler I, Müller CK, Leipner C, Schultze-Mosgau S, et al. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Molecular Basis of Disease 2009, 1792(8), 746-756; Thomas B J, Kan O K, Loveland K L, Elias J A, Bardin P G. Am. J. Respir. Cell. Mol. Biol. 2016, 55(6), 759-766). Organ fibrosis is the result of aberrant wound healing response, resulting in excessive collagen deposition. Connective tissue scarring leads to progressive loss of tissue function and eventual organ failure (Nanthakumar C B, Hatley R J, Lemma S, Gauldie J, Marshall R P, Macdonald S J. Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 2015, 14(10), 693-720). Pre-pro-TGFβ1 is synthesized by most cells as a single 390 amino acid peptide. The furin-dependent processing event is predicted to occur following an Arg-His-Arg-Arg sequence immediately preceding the NH2-terminal Ala 279 residue of the growth factor (Constam D B. Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology 2014, 32, 85-97). Mature TGFβ forms a 25 kDa dimer, which is complexed with specific binding proteins, such as the TGFβ latency-associated peptide (LAP) (NH2-terminal part of the precursor sequence) and the large latent binding protein (LTBP) before secretion into the extracellular matrix (Constam D B. Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology 2014, 32, 85-97; Robertson I B, Horiguchi M, Zilberberg L, Dabovic B, Hadjiolova K, Rifkin D B. Matrix biology, Journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology 2015, 47, 44-53). Active mature TGFβ1 must be liberated from the latent complex before it can exert its biological effects. The biological effects of TGFβ are mediated through the canonical SMAD-dependent signaling and the noncanonical pathways involving PI3K/ATK, Erk, and p38 upon receptor activation (Zhang Y E. Cell Research 2009, 19(1), 128-139). TGFβ1 drives the profibrotic responses by promoting the transformation of normal epithelial cell to active fibroblasts and the subsequent synthesis and deposition of collagen (Biernacka A, Dobaczewski M, Frangogiannis N G. Growth Factors (Chur, Switzerland) 2011, 29(5), 196-202). Thus, therapeutic intervention using a furin inhibitor would prevent the proper processing of Pre-pro-TGFβ1 and therefore provide benefit by depleting the bioactive TGFβ in fibrotic disease.
Given the diversity in its substrates, therapeutic intervention of furin could also be beneficial for diseases, such as hypertension, cancer, and infectious, respiratory, and neurodegenerative diseases (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766; Nakayama K. Biochem. J. 1997, 327(3), 625-635; Shiryaev S A, Chernov A V, Golubkov V S, Thomsen E R, Chudin E, Chee M S, et al. PLoS One 2013, 8(1), e54290; Bennett B D, Denis P, Haniu M, Teplow D B, Kahn S, Louis J C, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2000, 275(48), 37712-37717; Takahashi R H, Nagao T, Gouras G K. Pathology International 2017, 67(4), 185-193). Hypertension is a condition in which blood exerts increased force against the walls of the arteries. The renin-angiotensin system and molecules that regulate sodium-electrolyte balance can impact blood pressure and are associated with furin activity (Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467; Cousin C, Bracquart D, Contrepas A, Corvol P, Muller L, Nguyen G. Hypertension 2009, 53(6), 1077-1082). Two recent large-scale genetic association studies (GWAS) demonstrated a role for furin genetics as a risk factor for hypertension. One study utilized a GWAS approach to study over 200,000 subjects of European descent, thereby identifying a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs2521501) in the furin-FES loci associated with elevations in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (Ehret G B, Munroe P B, Rice K M, Bochud M, Johnson A D, et al. Nature 2011, 478(7367), 103-109). Two additional furin polymorphisms, rs2071410 and rs6227, which are associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure respectively were identified in a second multi-center study that genotyped 50,000 SNPs amongst 2,100 candidate genes (Turpeinen H, Ortutay Z, Pesu M. Curr. Genomics 2013, 14(7), 453-467; Ganesh S K, Tragante V, Guo W, Guo Y, Lanktree M B, Smith E N, et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2013, 22(8), 1663-1678). Given such strong human genetic evidence, modulation of furin activity could be a therapeutic approach for hypertension.
Cancer is a set of diseases involving abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells which may spread to other parts of the body (metastasis). There are furin substrates associated with various processes involved in cancer progression, such as proliferation, anti-apoptosis, migration/invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. The substrates that furin targets in these processes are growth factors and their receptors, matrix metalloproteases, cell adhesion molecules, and angiogenic/lymphangiogenic factors (Shiryaev S A, Chernov A V, Golubkov V S, Thomsen E R, Chudin E, Chee M S, et al. PLoS One 2013, 8(1), e54290; Jaaks P, Bernasconi M. Int. J. Cancer 2017, 141(4), 654-663; Bassi D E, Mahloogi H, Al-Saleem L, Lopez De Cicco R, Ridge J A, Klein-Szanto A J. Mol. Carcinog. 2001, 31(4), 224-232). Many growth factors and their receptors are important for the balance between apoptotic and prosurvival mechanisms. Therefore, dysregulation of growth factors plays a role in the development of cancer. In addition to uncontrolled growth, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation is necessary for cancer cells to escape their primary site. Similarly, ECM remodeling is required for the development of the metastatic niche that enables disseminated cancer cells to survive, colonize, and proliferate at the metastatic site (Bonnans C, Chou J, Werb Z. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2014, 15(12), 786-801). Many of such enzymes like MMPs and ADAM proteases that mediate ECM degradation require proteolytic activation by furin (Maquoi E, Noel A, Frankenne F, Angliker H, Murphy G, Foidart J M. FEBS Lett. 1998, 424(3), 262-266; Yana I, Weiss S J. Mol. Biol. Cell 2000, 11(7), 2387-2401; Kang T, Nagase H, Pei D. Cancer Res. 2002, 62(3), 675-681; Wang X, Pei D. J. Biol. Chem. 2001, 276(38), 35953-35960; Loechel F, Gilpin B J, Engvall E, Albrechtsen R, Wewer U M. J. Biol. Chem. 1998, 273(27), 16993-16997; Schlondorff J, Becherer J D, Blobel C P. Biochem. J. 2000, 347(1), 131-138). Finally, angiogenesis, a process of blood vessels formation supports the growth of tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D are processed by furin, rendering them capable of promoting VEGF signaling, thereby stimulating angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis (Joukov V, Sorsa T, Kumar V, Jeltsch M, Claesson-Welsh L, Cao Y, et al. EMBO J. 1997,16(13), 3898-3911; McColl B K, Paavonen K, Karnezis T, Harris N C, Davydova N, Rothacker J, et al. FASEB J. 2007, 21(4), 1088-1098). Therefore, therapeutic intervention of furin activities would limit the growth of cancer cells by blocking multiple key biological processes that promote the growth and spread of cancer cells.
Infectious diseases may be spread from one person to another and are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. Pathogenicity is the ability of a microbial agent to cause disease, and virulence is the degree to which an organism is pathogenic. In order for viruses to enter host cells and replicate, the envelope glycoproteins must be proteolytically activated (Nakayama K. Biochem. J. 1997, 327(3), 625-635). The processing of envelope glycoproteins may in some cases impact viral pathogenicity (Nakayama K. Biochem. J. 1997, 327(3), 625-635). The glycoprotein precursors of many virulent viruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), avian influenza virus, measles virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Ebola virus, anthrax, and Zika virus (ZIKV) are cleaved at a site marked by a consensus sequence consistent with furin recognition (Thomas G. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2002, 3(10), 753-766; 2, 36-38). The cleavage of HIV glycoprotein160 and infectious virus production are blocked when the furin inhibitor α1-PDX is expressed in cells (Nakayama K. Biochem. J. 1997, 327(3), 625-635). Thus, furin inhibitor may be useful in a pandemic or biological warfare.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common life-limiting autosomal-recessive genetic disease in Europe and North America (Hoffman L R, Ramsey B W. CHEST 2013, 143(1), 207-213). A thin film of fluid lines the conducting airways of the lung facilitating mucociliary clearance, which contributes to innate immune defense by removing inhaled pathogens. The volume of this fluid is regulated by chloride and sodium transport across the airway epithelium. This regulation is lost in cystic fibrosis due to the absence of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conduction regulator (CFTR), which mediates chloride secretion and subsequent sodium reabsorption and fluid balance across the epithelium. Epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) hyperabsorption is a contributing factor in the depletion of the fluid layer beginning the CF pathophysiology. Channel activating proteases (CAPs), such as furin, catalyze endoproteolysis of ENaC, and increase sodium channel conductance which would otherwise remain low (Reihill J A, Walker B, Hamilton R A, Ferguson T E, Elborn J S, Stutts M J, et al. Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 2016, 194(6), 701-710; Myerburg M M, Harvey P R, Heidrich E M, Pilewski J M, Butterworth M B. Am. J. Respir. Cell. Mol. Biol. 2010, 43(6), 712-719). A furin inhibitor is effective in blocking sodium reabsorption (Reihill J A, Walker B, Hamilton R A, Ferguson T E, Elborn J S, Stutts M J, et al. Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 2016, 194(6), 701-710) and thus providing proof of concept evidence for the potential use of a furin inhibitor in the treatment of CF.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, multifactorial, and heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease leading to progressive cognitive decline. Amyloid-β (Aβ)-containing plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau in the brain are the neuropathological hallmarks of AD (Takahashi R H, Nagao T, Gouras G K. Pathology International 2017, 67(4), 185-193; Rangachari V, Dean D N, Rana P, Vaidya A, Ghosh P. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Biomembranes 2018, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.03.004; Crews L, Masliah E. Human Molecular Genetics 2010, 19(R1), R12-R20). The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is an integral membrane protein containing a single transmembrane domain (Takahashi R H, Nagao T, Gouras G K. Pathology International 2017, 67(4), 185-193; Rangachari V, Dean D N, Rana P, Vaidya A, Ghosh P. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Biomembranes 2018, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.03.004). Amyloid peptides can form by sequential cleavage of APP by the aspartyl proteases, β-(BACE) and γ-secretases (Takahashi R H, Nagao T, Gouras G K. Pathology International 2017, 67(4), 185-193; Rangachari V, Dean D N, Rana P, Vaidya A, Ghosh P. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Biomembranes 2018, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.03.004; Fiala J C. Acta Neuropathologica 2007, 114(6), 551-571). Proteolytic cleavage of APP results in the generation of the Aβ1-42 monomer, which under pathological conditions can assemble into potentially toxic oligomers and form plaques (Takahashi R H, Nagao T, Gouras G K. Pathology International 2017, 67(4), 185-193; Rangachari V, Dean D N, Rana P, Vaidya A, Ghosh P. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Biomembranes 2018, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.03.004; Fiala J C. Acta Neuropathologica 2007, 114(6), 551-571). It is suggested that amyloid deposition is initiated by glia that secrete Aβ. The protein spontaneously aggregates into amyloid filaments that activate microglia. Activated microglia then secrete oxidative species and inflammatory cytokines that cause axonal dystrophy and cell death (Rangachari V, Dean D N, Rana P, Vaidya A, Ghosh P. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA)—Biomembranes 2018, doi.org/10.1016/j.bbamem.2018.03.004; Crews L, Masliah E. Human Molecular Genetics 2010, 19(R1), R12-R20; Fiala J C. Acta Neuropathologica 2007, 114(6), 551-571). Mutations of APP and presenilins, components of the 7-secretases complex, lead to alteration of the APP processing by secretases and increase in production of pro-plaque forming Aβ peptides (Dai M H, Zheng H, Zeng L D, Zhang Y. Oncotarget 2018, 9(19), 15132-15143), suggesting the importance of secretases in disease progression. Therefore, pharmacological modulation of APP processing has been a prominent strategy for the treatment of AD, with both BACE and 7-secretases inhibitors being evaluated in recent clinical trials (Panza F, Seripa D, Solfrizzi V, Imbimbo B P, Lozupone M, Leo A, et al. Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs 2016, 21(4), 377-391). BACE pro-peptide shares a consensus sequence for furin, and processing of BACE pro-peptide is shown to be dependent on active furin (Bennett B D, Denis P, Haniu M, Teplow D B, Kahn S, Louis J C, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2000, 275(48), 37712-37717). Thus, selective furin inhibitors can potentially be used for the treatment of AD and neurodegenerative diseases associated with dysregulated furin processing.
Typically, potent furin inhibitors are peptide derivatives or peptidomimetics containing polybasic residues in order to achieve high inhibitory potency. As a consequence of the highly basic nature of the inhibitors, reactivity, and peptide structure, their chemical and pharmacokinetics properties limit their use as clinical therapeutic agents. However, many small molecule inhibitors of furin were reported in PCT publication No.: WO 2019/215341.

Terms are used within their ordinary and accepted meanings. The following definitions are meant to clarify, but not limit, the terms defined herein.
The term “about,” as used herein, is used to describe a range (e.g., of temperatures, of molarities, of mass, of weight) and is given its ordinary meaning in the art, typically referring to the error associated with an instrument to collect a measurement or reading. The term “about” may also refer to a 10 to 20% variation around a given value. In general, the term “about” when referring to temperature provides a deviation of ±0-2° C.
As used herein, the term “salt” refers to an acid or base salt of Compound (I). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be derived, for example, from mineral acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, and the like), organic acids (acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid and the like), and quaternary ammonium ions. It is understood that the pharmaceutically acceptable salts are non-toxic. Additional information on suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The neutral form of a compound 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.
The term “room temperature” or “RT” refers to a temperature within the range of 19-26° C.
The term “solvate” refers to forms of the compound that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether, and the like.

The term “polymorph” or “polymorphic form”, as used herein, refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof) in a particular crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.
A “freeform” of Compound (I) (e.g., Freeform Type D) is a polymorphic form of the free base of Compound (I) or a solvate, tautomer, stereoisomer, or isotopically labeled derivative thereof. Freeforms of Compound (I) include Freeform Type A, Freeform Type B, Freeform Type C, and Freeform Type D.
The term “crystalline” refers to a solid phase in which the material has a regular ordered internal structure at the molecular level and gives a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with defined peaks. Such materials when heated sufficiently will also exhibit the properties of a liquid, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase change, typically first order (melting point). The term “crystalline” or “crystalline form” refers to a solid form substantially exhibiting three-dimensional order. In certain embodiments, a crystalline form of a solid is a solid form that is substantially not amorphous. In certain embodiments, the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of a crystalline form includes one or more sharply defined peaks.
When a polymorphic form is described, it is meant to refer to the identified polymorph as described herein, which is substantially free of any other polymorph. “Substantially free of” another polymorph indicates at least a 70/30 molar ratio of the two polymorphs, more preferably 80/20, 90/10, 95/5, 99/1, or more. In some embodiments, one of the polymorphs will be present in an amount of at least 99%.
The polymorphs of Compound (I) 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 tritium (3H) or carbon-14 (14C), or non-radioactive isotopes, such as deuterium (2H) or carbon-13 (13C). Such isotopic variations can provide additional utilities to those described elsewhere within this application. For instance, isotopic variants of the Compound (I) may find additional utility, including, but not limited to, as diagnostic and/or imaging reagents, or as cytotoxic/radiotoxic therapeutic agents. Additionally, isotopic variants of Compound (I) can have altered pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics, which can contribute to enhanced safety, tolerability, or efficacy during treatment. All isotopic variations of Compound (I), whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. When specifically referred to, such as, C1-C4 deuteroalkyl—the term refers to an alkyl group with the indicated number of carbon atoms and having hydrogen atoms replaced by deuterium in a number of from one to a per-deutero form, wherein the deuterium replacement is greater than the natural abundance of deuterium—typically 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95% or more deuterium replacement. Examples of C1-C4 deuteroalkyl are —CD3, —CH2CD3, —CD2CD3, —CH2CH2CH2D, and the like.
As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to a substance that is compatible with Compound (I), as well as with any other ingredients with which the compound is formulated. Furthermore, a pharmaceutically acceptable substance is not deleterious to the recipient of the substance. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Compound (I) include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N+(C1-4 alkyl)4− salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.
As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a product comprising Compound (I), optionally, an excipient and/or a second pharmaceutically acceptable excipient (e.g., a tonicity agent, organic acid), and other optional ingredients in specified amounts, as well as any product which results directly or indirectly from combination of the specified ingredients in the specified amounts. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises Compound (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, stereoisomer, or isotopically labeled derivative thereof. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a polymorph of Compound (I). In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an amorphous form of Compound (I).
As used herein, the term “excipient” refers to a substance that aids the administration of an active agent to a subject. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients useful in the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, those described herein. One of skill in the art will recognize that other excipients can be useful in the present disclosure.
As used herein, the term “tonicity agent” refers to an agent which functions to render a solution similar in osmotic characteristics to physiologic fluids. Tonicity agents include, but are not limited to, sugars (e.g., dextrose, lactose, trehalose, sucrose), sugar alcohols (e.g., mannitol), salts (e.g., sodium chloride, potassium chloride), and polyols (e.g., propylene glycol, glycerin).
The term “sugar” refers to monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates in that they cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. Most monosaccharides can be represented by the general formula CyH2yOy (e.g., C6H12O6 (a hexose such as glucose)), wherein y is an integer equal to or greater than 3. Certain polyhydric alcohols not represented by the general formula described above may also be considered monosaccharides. For example, deoxyribose is of the formula C5H10O4 and is a monosaccharide. Monosaccharides usually consist of five or six carbon atoms and are referred to as pentoses and hexoses, receptively. If the monosaccharide contains an aldehyde it is referred to as an aldose; and if it contains a ketone, it is referred to as a ketose. Monosaccharides may also consist of three, four, or seven carbon atoms in an aldose or ketose form and are referred to as trioses, tetroses, and heptoses, respectively. Glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone are considered to be aldotriose and ketotriose sugars, respectively. Examples of aldotetrose sugars include erythrose and threose; and ketotetrose sugars include erythrulose. Aldopentose sugars include ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose; and ketopentose sugars include ribulose, arabulose, xylulose, and lyxulose. Examples of aldohexose sugars include glucose (for example, dextrose), mannose, galactose, allose, altrose, talose, gulose, and idose; and ketohexose sugars include fructose, psicose, sorbose, and tagatose. Ketoheptose sugars include sedoheptulose. Each carbon atom of a monosaccharide bearing a hydroxyl group (—OH), with the exception of the first and last carbons, is asymmetric, making the carbon atom a stereocenter with two possible configurations (R or S). Because of this asymmetry, a number of isomers may exist for any given monosaccharide formula. The aldohexose D-glucose, for example, has the formula C6H12O6, of which all but two of its six carbons atoms are stereogenic, making D-glucose one of the 16 (i.e., 24) possible stereoisomers. The assignment of D or L is made according to the orientation of the asymmetric carbon furthest from the carbonyl group: in a standard Fischer projection if the hydroxyl group is on the right the molecule is a D sugar, otherwise it is an L sugar. The aldehyde or ketone group of a straight-chain monosaccharide will react reversibly with a hydroxyl group on a different carbon atom to form a hemiacetal or hemiketal, forming a heterocyclic ring with an oxygen bridge between two carbon atoms. Rings with five and six atoms are called furanose and pyranose forms, respectively, and exist in equilibrium with the straight-chain form. During the conversion from the straight-chain form to the cyclic form, the carbon atom containing the carbonyl oxygen, called the anomeric carbon, becomes a stereogenic center with two possible configurations: the oxygen atom may take a position either above or below the plane of the ring. The resulting possible pair of stereoisomers is called anomers. In an a anomer, the —OH substituent on the anomeric carbon rests on the opposite side (trans) of the ring from the —CH2OH side branch. The alternative form, in which the —CH2OH substituent and the anomeric hydroxyl are on the same side (cis) of the plane of the ring, is called a R anomer. A carbohydrate including two or more joined monosaccharide units is called a disaccharide or polysaccharide (e.g., a trisaccharide), respectively. The two or more monosaccharide units bound together by a covalent bond known as a glycosidic linkage formed via a dehydration reaction, resulting in the loss of a hydrogen atom from one monosaccharide and a hydroxyl group from another. Exemplary disaccharides include sucrose, lactulose, lactose, maltose, isomaltose, trehalose, cellobiose, xylobiose, laminaribiose, gentiobiose, mannobiose, melibiose, nigerose, or rutinose. Exemplary trisaccharides include, but are not limited to, isomaltotriose, nigerotriose, maltotriose, melezitose, maltotriulose, raffinose, and kestose. The term carbohydrate also includes other natural or synthetic stereoisomers of the carbohydrates described herein.
The term “carbohydrate” or “saccharide” refers to an aldehydic or ketonic derivative of polyhydric alcohols. Carbohydrates include compounds with relatively small molecules (e.g., sugars) as well as macromolecular or polymeric substances (e.g., starch, glycogen, and cellulose polysaccharides).
In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms of the disease have developed or have been observed. As used herein, the terms “treat,” “treating,” and “treatment” refer to any indicia of success in the treatment or amelioration of a pathology, injury, condition, or symptom related to pulmonary disorders, including any objective or subjective parameter, such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms; making the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom more tolerable to the patient; decreasing the frequency or duration of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom; or, in some situations, preventing the onset of the pathology, injury, condition, or symptom. Treatment or amelioration can be based on any objective or subjective parameter; including, e.g., the result of a physical examination.
A “subject” to which administration is contemplated refers to a human (i.e., male or female of any age group, e.g., pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, or adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) or non-human animal. A “patient” refers to a human subject in need of treatment of a disease.

In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the amount of a polymorphic form of Compound (I) described herein in a single dose. In certain embodiments, an effective amount is the combined amounts of a polymorphic form of Compound (I) described herein in multiple doses.
A “therapeutically effective amount” of a polymorphic form of Compound (I) described herein is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a polymorphic form means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms, signs, or causes of the condition, and/or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.
The term “prevent,” “preventing,” or “prevention” refers to a prophylactic treatment of a subject who is not and/or was not suffering from a disease, but is at risk of developing the disease, or a subject who is at risk of progression of the disease. In certain embodiments, the subject is at a higher risk of developing the disease or at a higher risk of progression of the disease than an average healthy member of a population.
The term “inhibition,” “inhibiting,” “inhibit,” or “inhibitor” refers to the ability of a compound to reduce, slow, halt, or prevent activity of a particular biological process (e.g., furin activity, viral infectivity, viral replication, toxin activation, and/or activity) in a subject relative to vehicle.

Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars, such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, and the like. Disintegrators include, without limitation, starch, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum, and the like.
Tablets are formulated, for example, by preparing a powder mixture, granulating or slugging, adding a lubricant and disintegrant, and pressing into tablets. A powder mixture is prepared by mixing the compound, suitably comminuted, with a diluent or base as described above, and optionally, with a binder such as carboxymethylcellulose, and aliginate, gelatin, or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a solution retardant such as paraffin, a resorption accelerator such as a quaternary salt, and/or an absorption agent such as bentonite, kaolin, or dicalcium phosphate. The powder mixture can be granulated by wetting a binder such as syrup, starch paste, acadia mucilage, or solutions of cellulosic or polymeric materials and forcing through a screen. As an alternative to granulating, the powder mixture can be run through the tablet machine and the result is imperfectly formed slugs broken into granules. The granules can be lubricated to prevent sticking to the tablet forming dies by means of the addition of stearic acid, a stearate salt, talc, or mineral oil. The lubricated mixture is then compressed into tablets. The compound or salt of the present disclosure can also be combined with a free-flowing inert carrier and compressed into tablets directly without going through the granulating or slugging steps. A clear opaque protective coating consisting of a sealing coat of shellac, a coating of sugar, or polymeric material, and a polish coating of wax can be provided. Dyestuffs can be added to these coatings to distinguish different dosages.

Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients particularly suited for use in dry powders are known to those skilled in the art and include lactose, starch, mannitol, and mono-, di-, and polysaccharides.
The dry powder may be administered to the patient via a reservoir dry powder inhaler (RDPI) having a reservoir suitable for storing multiple (un-metered doses) of medicament in dry powder form. RDPIs typically include a means for metering each medicament dose from the reservoir to a delivery position. For example, the metering means may comprise a metering cup, which is movable from a first position where the cup may be filled with medicament from the reservoir to a second position where the metered medicament dose is made available to the patient for inhalation.
Alternatively, the dry powder may be presented in capsules (e.g. gelatin or plastic), cartridges, or blister packs for use in a multi-dose dry powder inhaler (MDPI). MDPIs are inhalers wherein the medicament is comprised within a multi-dose pack containing (or otherwise carrying) multiple defined doses (or parts thereof) of medicament. When the dry powder is presented as a blister pack, it comprises multiple blisters for containment of the medicament in dry powder form. The blisters are typically arranged in regular fashion for ease of release of the medicament therefrom. For example, the blisters may be arranged in a generally circular fashion on a disc-form blister pack, or the blisters may be elongate in form, for example comprising a strip or a tape. Each capsule, cartridge, or blister may, for example, contain between 20 μg-10 mg of Compound (I).

Freeform Type A and fumarate Type A showed higher solubility in 50 mM pH=4.0 and pH=6.0 buffer. To differentiate solubility under different pH in the range pH 4.0 to 6.0, solubility of all four materials were tested in 50 mM pH=4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 citrate buffers and pH=6.0 phosphate buffer with pH adjustment. In details, ˜5 mg of solids were suspended into 1 mL of each medium with dosing conc. at ˜5 mg/mL. Additional solids were added into the sample to generate suspension if clear solution was obtained. The suspension was equilibrated via stirring (1000 rpm) for 24 hours. The pH of the suspension was adjusted when the final pH shifted above 0.3, and the samples were stirred for another 1.5 hours after pH adjustment. The suspension was centrifuged to obtain precipitate and supernatants. Solubility, purity and pH were tested for the supernatants after filtration, and isolated precipitate was tested by XRPD. The equilibrium solubility results are summarized in Table 5-2. The XRPD results are shown in

Citric acid and fumaric acid were selected for in situ salt solubility tests with freeform Type D.
For citric acid in situ salt formation, ˜50 mg freeform Type D and 1.1 equivalent of citric acid was added into a 5 mL vial and 1.1 mL water was added to dissolve the sample. The sample was almost clear (little solid was observed) and filtered for a solubility test. The tested concentration of freeform Type D with 1.1 equiv. of citric acid in water was 39.3 mg/mL (final pH=3.4).
For fumaric acid in situ salt formation, ˜5 mg freeform Type D and 1.1 equivalent of fumaric acid was added into a 5 mL vial and 4.2 mL water was added to dissolve the sample. The sample was almost clear (little solid was observed) and filtered for a solubility test. The tested concentration of freeform Type D with 1.1 equivalent of fumaric acid in water was 1.1 mg/mL (final pH=4.0).

To understand the solubility profile of freeform Type D in citrate buffers with different concentration and pH, equilibrium solubility of freeform Type D in citrate buffer with different buffer concentration (10/20/50/100 mM) and different pH (2.8-5.5) were tested at RT. ˜5 mg of solids was suspended into 1 mL of each medium with dosing conc. at ˜5 mg/mL. Additional solids were added into the sample to generate suspension if clear solution was obtained. The suspension was equilibrated via stirring (1000 rpm) for 24 hours.

Solution stability of the freeform Type D in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.3, 1 mg/mL) and 100 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.1, 40 mg/mL) was determined. The stock solution of 40 mg/mL freeform Type D in 100 mM pH=4.1 citrate buffer was slightly cloudy, and the stability experiment was set up after the suspension was filtrated via a 0.45 m PTFE filter. The stock solution of 1 mg/mL freeform Type D in 10 mM pH=4.3 citrate buffer was clear and not filtered before the stability experiment set up. The stability samples were stored under 5° C. and 25° C. for 28 days, respectively. After 28 days storage, the stability samples were taken out for HPLC test and pH test.
The 1 mg/mL freeform Type D in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.3) became cloudy and yellow at 25° C. for 28 days, and became a yellow solution at 5° C. for 28 days. The 40 mg/mL freeform Type D in 100 mM citrate buffer (pH 4.1) became cloudy at 5° C. for 28 days, and remained a clear solution at 25° C. for 28 days. The visual observation is shown in

The stability samples were stored at 5° C., 25° C., 40° C. and 60° C. for 28 days. After 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 28 days storage, the stability samples at 25° C., 40° C. and 60° C. were taken out for HPLC and pH tests. After 28 days storage, the stability samples at 5° C. were taken out for HPLC and pH tests.

Some of the stability samples at 5° C. became a suspension after storage for 37 days. The samples were then stirred (1000 rpm) at 5° C. for two days, resulting in all samples becoming a suspension. Three of the samples under each condition were characterized to determine the identity of precipitate, solubility of citrate salt at 5° C., and stability at 5° C.
The characterization of stability samples in formulations 1 to 5 at 5° C. are summarized in Tables 7-8 to 7-12. XRPD results show the solid obtained at 5° C. in formulations 1/2/3/4/5 is amorphous (
Solution Stability in Formulation with Lactose (Dosing Conc. 40 mg/mL)
Physical and chemical stability of formulation 2 in Example 6 at 40 mg/mL concentration was tested. The 40 mg/mL freeform+citric acid+lactose formulation was prepared by transferring 217.5 mg freeform sample (equivalent to ˜200 mg API), 62.5 mg citric acid and 297 mg lactose into a 5 mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume with water. The sample obtained was sonicated for about 2 mins and filtrated through 0.22 um filter. The tested concentration was 39.3 mg/mL, and the pH of the solution was 3.6. About 5 mg amorphous wet sample (the solid obtained in formulation 2 at 5° C., Example 6) was added into 1 mL of the 40 mg/mL formulation, and the solid was dissolved after stirring for 1 hour. Another 5 mg amorphous wet sample was added into the 40 mg/mL formulation, and the solid was dissolved after stirring for 1 hour. The tested concentration of solution obtained was 41.6 mg/mL, and the pH of the solution was 3.6. About 5 mg wet cake was added into the 40 mg/mL formulation (˜41.6 mg/mL), the sample was stirred at 5° C. overnight, and a suspension was obtained. The suspension was stirred at RT for 1 hour, and a clear solution was obtained. The pH of the solution obtained was 3.7, and concentration of the solution was 42.8 mg/mL. This result suggests that the formulation at 40 mg/mL concentration is physically stable and not supersaturated. No precipitation of citrate salt is expected when the solution is stored at room temperature.
Another 1 mL of the 40 mg/mL freeform+citric acid+lactose formulation was stored at RT (covered with aluminum foil) for 1 week. The purity of the one-week stability sample was 99.01%, and the pH was 3.7. No significant degradation was observed. Chromatogram overlay of stability samples are shown in
Solid state stability of the freeform Type D was determined. Approximately 30 mg of each solid sample was added to an HPLC vial (sealed by Parafilm© and poked with several pinholes) and then stored at 25° C./60% RH, 40° C./75% RH and 60° C. for 28 days.
After 1/3/7/14/28 days storage, solids were taken out for HPLC and XRPD to evaluate chemical and physical stability, respectively.
Stability results are summarized in Table 7-13. No significant degradation or form change was observed after storage at 25° C./60% RH, 40° C./75% RH and 60° C. for 28 days. XRPD overlay of stability samples are shown in
In summary, freeform isolation and 100 polymorph and salt formation experiments of Compound (I) freeform were performed by different crystallization methods. Four crystalline forms of freeform (named as freeform Type A, B, C and D) and 10 crystalline salts (19 forms) were obtained. pKa, Log D7.4 and complexation stability constants in HPβCD and SBECD of freeform Type D were also determined.
Equilibrium solubility evaluation was performed for freeform Type A, HCl salt Type F, fumarate Type A, and sulfate Type B. Freeform Type A showed high solubility in pH=4.0 buffer (>36.9 mg/mL, 50 mM citrate buffer, final pH=4.2). Freeform was selected for further development. Freeform and citric acid was selected for further pre-formulation study according to the solubility results. Solubility, stability (solid and solution) and pre-formulation experiments of freeform Type D with citric acid were performed. Formulation of Compound (I) freeform with 1.05 equiv. citric acid and 173 mM lactose (40 mg/mL) was selected for further development, and the formulation showed no degradation after storage under RT for 7 days.
Trihydrate freeform Type D was selected for further development. Freeform Type D was obtained when aW>0.3 during the thermodynamic relationship study and was kinetically stable for at least 6 weeks under a wide range of RH (7% to 84%). The citrate salt offers significant aqueous solubility enhancement (>50 mg/mL vs freeform 0.02 mg/mL) and good solution stability. In addition, it can be conveniently prepared in situ by simply mixing citric acid and freeform in water. As a result, a solution of 40 mg/mL Compound (I) freeform (weight adjusted), 1.05 equiv. citric acid and 173 mM lactose (QS for isotonic) was identified as a formulation to be employed in toxicology studies.
Compound (I) starting material was characterized by XRPD, TGA, DSC, LC-MS, PLM and 1H NMR. XRPD pattern (
The freeform isolation procedure are summarized as below:
Four freeform isolation experiments were performed in different solvent with different acids. Solids were obtained in DCM/HCl and CHCl3/HCl system. The solids were characterized by XRPD/1H NMR/IC, and the two samples were crystalline sample (named as freeform Type A) with no isopropyl amine and residual Cl−. The experiments and results are summarized in Table 9-1. Approximate solubility of starting material and freeform Type A was tested at RT, and starting material showed higher solubility in CHCl3 and freeform Type A showed lower solubility in CHCl3 (Table 9-2).
Considering that residual Cl− was detected in freeform Type A and HCl might react with freeform during the isolation, the ratio between freeform and HCl was adjusted. Another four freeform isolation experiments were performed with different charging ratio of acid and starting material in CHCl3. The experiments and results are summarized in Table 9-3. The solid obtained in CHCl3 with charging ratio of HCl to staring material as 0.5:1 showed no residual isopropyl amine and Cl−, and XRPD results showed the solid was freeform Type A.

CHCl3 was selected as the final freeform isolation solvent, and HCl with a charge ratio of 0.5:1 was selected as the final acid. Freeform isolation was performed on 8 g scale, and the detailed procedure is summarized in Table 9-4. Freeform Type A with no residual isopropyl amine and 0.35% Cl− was obtained (The calculated molar ratio of Cl− to freeform in the solid was about 0.06:1). The characterization results of 8 g freeform Type A is shown in Example 1, and the sample was used for polymorph and salt formation.
The 8 g freeform Type A was used for the formation experiments, and freeform isolation was re-performed, and the detailed procedure are summarized in Table 9-4.

Fifty (50) inbred, 6-8 week old, Sigmodon hispidus female and male cotton rats (source: Sigmovir Biosystems, Inc., Rockville MD) were maintained and handled under veterinary supervision in accordance with the National Institutes of Health guidelines and Sigmovir Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee's approved animal study protocol (IACUC Protocol #15). Fifteen animals were used in Phase I and 35 animals in Phase II studies. Each group of 5 animals included 3 females (the first three animals in each group) and 2 males (the last 2 animals in each group). Groups of even number of animals included equal number of males and females. Cotton rats were housed in clear polycarbonate cages and provided with standard rodent chow (Harlan #7004) and tap water ad lib.
To prepare excipient solution, 125 mg of citric acid anhydrous and 972 mg of lactose anhydrous were dissolved in water by adding 6 ml to the powder. The solution was vortexed. Final volume was adjusted to 10 mL with water for final concentration of 65 mM citric acid anhydrous and 284 mM lactose anhydrous. The solution was stored at 4±2° C.
Step 1. Divided 15 young S. hispidus (6-8 week old) between 3 groups (3 females and 2 males per group). Eartaged, weighed, and eyebleed all animals under isoflurane anesthesia for serum and plasma. Treated all animals intranasally with the solution indicated in Table 8-1 below, 5 0 μl/100 g animal (administered in both nostrils).
Step 2. Measured weight, collected clinical observations (e.g., changes in appearance, movement, posture), and repeated treatments on all animals as in Step 1.
Step 3. Measured weight, collected clinical observations (e.g., changes in appearance, movement, posture), and repeated treatments on all animals as in Step 1.
Step 4. Measured weight, collected clinical observations (e.g., changes in appearance, movement, posture), and repeated treatments on all animals as in Step 1.
Step 5. Measured weight, collected clinical observations, and repeated treatment on all animals as described in Step 1. After 1 h Step 6, terminally bled one animal from each group, followed by the necropsy with gross pathology examination and collection of BAL (right lung) and lung samples (left lung) for the PK assessment. After 3 h Step 7, terminally bled the second animal from each group, followed by the necropsy with gross pathology examination and collection of BAL and lung samples for the PK assessment.
Step 8. Terminally bled the third animal from each group, followed by the necropsy with gross pathology examination and collection of BAL and lung samples for the PK assessment.
Step 9. Terminally bled the fourth animal from each group, followed by the necropsy with gross pathology examination and collection of BAL and lung samples for the PK assessment.
Step 10. Measured weight and collected clinical observations on the remaining animals. Terminally bled animals, followed by the necropsy with gross pathology examination and collection of BAL and lung samples for the PK assessment.
In the Phase I study, three different doses of Compound (I): 0.1 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, and 1 mg/kg per day were tested in young cotton rats S. hispidus, when administered once a day (QD) via the intranasal route. Treatments were given for 5 consecutive days. After the last treatment, lungs, BAL, and plasma were collected for PK analysis at 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h post-final-Compound (I) administration and shipped to AIT Bioscience, as requested. Overall, treatments with Compound (I) were well tolerated by cotton rats. The only noticeable effect was an apparent increase in blood clotting time in one of the animals treated with the highest dose of Compound (I) (1 mg/kg/day). Blood could not be collected effectively from that animal at the time of terminal bleed as it clotted too quickly.
Results of the PK analysis showed that Compound (I) was detectable in the plasma and lungs (but much less so in BALF) of Compound (I)-treated cotton rats. A dose-dependent effect on Compound (I) concentration in plasma and lungs was seen, with 1 mg/kg treatment resulting in the highest level of Compound (I) detected in plasma and lungs 1 hr post-treatment, followed by 0.3 and 0.1 mg/kg doses of Compound (I). The level of Compound (I) detectable in plasma and lungs of treated animals remained elevated for several hours (depending on the dose of treatment).
