Description
FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure is directed to compositions, formulations, and kits for targeted infectious disease diagnosis and methods for the treatment of infectious diseases. The present disclosure is also related to methods for compounding drugs and drug compositions for use in kits and drug delivery systems.


BACKGROUND

The diagnosis and treatment of many infectious diseases continues to be poorly understood. In particular, since the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) on Jan. 30, 2020, the progression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) virus has reminded us of the critical role of an effective host immune response as well as the devastating effect of immune dysregulation. Accordingly, there is a critical need for an efficient approach for both the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19. However, inconsistencies in the diagnosis and stage identification of infectious diseases and their progression persist making identification of appropriate and efficient treatment protocols challenging. Furthermore, effective approaches to tailored or targeted treatment of infectious diseases has also been challenging, including attempts at developing vaccines. Accordingly, there is a need for improved approaches for the accurate diagnosis as well as evaluation of disease progression and severity in order to provide patient-specific targeted treatment protocols and methodologies. There is also a need for improved methods of evaluating patient-specific treatment outcomes.

The present disclosure also provides a drug delivery system comprising a kit for delivering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need thereof. In some instances, the drug delivery system may deliver a dual therapeutic intervention agent.


As used herein, the term “conjugate,” in all its forms, refers to a compound formed by the joining of two or more chemical compounds. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable derivative,” as used herein, refers to and includes any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, pro-drug, metabolite, ester, ether, hydrate, polymorph, solvate, complex, and adduct of a compound described herein, which, upon administration to a subject, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) the active ingredient. For example, the term “a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative” of compounds described herein includes all derivatives of the compounds described herein (such as salts, pro-drugs, metabolites, esters, ethers, hydrates, polymorphs, solvates, complexes, and adducts) which, upon administration to a subject, are capable of providing (directly or indirectly) the compounds described herein. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts, which retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the parent compound. Unless otherwise indicated, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes salts of acidic or basic groups, which may be present in the compounds of the formulae disclosed herein. The present disclosure also provides certain processes, as examples, for the preparation of the above pharmaceutically acceptable salts, their derivatives, their analogs, their tautomeric forms, their stereoisomers, their polymorphs, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them.


Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to pharmaceutically acceptable salts formed by the compounds described herein, or their derivatives, their analogs, their tautomeric forms, their stereoisomers, their polymorphs and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions containing them. Typical inorganic acids used to form such salts include hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, hypophosphoric, and the like. Salts derived from organic acids, such as aliphatic mono and dicarboxylic acids, phenylsubstituted alkanoic acids, hydroxyalkanoic and hydroxyalkandioic acids, aromatic acids, aliphatic and aromatic sulfonic acids, may also be used. Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts thus include acetate, phenylacetate, trifluoroacetate, acrylate, ascorbate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, methylbenzoate, o-acetoxybenzoate, naphthalene-2-benzoate, bromide, isobutyrate, phenylbutyrate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, chloride, cinnamate, citrate, formate, fumarate, glycolate, heptanoate, lactate, maleate, hydroxymaleate, malonate, mesylate, nitrate, oxalate, phthalate, phosphate, monohydro genphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, propionate, phenylpropionate, salicylate, succinate, sulfate, bisulfate, pyrosulfate, sulfite, bisulfate, sulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-bromophenylsulfonate, chlorobenzenesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, methanesulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, xylenesulfonate, tartarate, and the like.


In certain embodiments the predetermined quantity of a chelator-nucleoside analog conjugate may be present in dosing amounts to treat a neurologic disorder or cancer as a therapeutic intervention. Combinations containing the label-chelator-nucleoside analog conjugates combine imaging with the therapeutic intervention and can image in real time the uptake and activity of N4 conjugated nucleoside analog, which is essential to select the individual patient with the targeted dysfunctional pathway (right disease) and to assess optimal dosage (right dose). This approach allows for visually seeing the composition located at the tissue site and determining the actual dose of uptake to that site for that patient. This platform allows one to evaluate: (a) if dosing is the cause of the adverse event; (b) if bioavailability is the cause or (c) if there is a limited uptake and/or bio-distribution. In keeping with these parameters, the embodiments serve to dissect effects that are patient dependent, particularly if one of these effects are genetic, epigenetic, or exhibit allelic variations associated to the individual's ECS.


The effective amount of a compound is determined based on several factors, such as age and weight of the patient, severity of the disease, other co-existing factors. The effective amount of a compound includes exemplary dosage amounts for an adult human of from about 0.1 to 100 mg/kg of body weight of active compound per day, which may be administered in a single dose or in the form of individual divided doses, such as from 1 to 4 times per day. It will be understood that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular subject may be varied and will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed, the metabolic stability and length of action of that compound, the species, age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the subject, the mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and severity of the particular condition.


The following descriptions of methods, compositions, and results obtained using them are provided merely as illustrative examples. Descriptions of the methods are not intended to require or imply that the steps of the various embodiments must be performed in the order presented. The steps in the foregoing embodiments may be performed in any order.
