GLP-1R MODULATING COMPOUNDS

FIELD

The present disclosure relates to compounds that bind to and act as agonists or modulators of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and act as agonists or modulators of GLP-1R. The disclosure further relates to the use of the compounds for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases and/or conditions by said compounds.

BACKGROUND

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone that is secreted from the enteroendocrine cells in the gut in response to a meal. GLP-1 is believed to play a role in regulation of post-prandial glycemia, via directly augmenting meal-induced insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells, as well as in promoting satiety by delaying the transit of food through the gut. GLP-1 mediates intracellular signaling via the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) which belongs to a family of G-protein coupled receptors that are present on the cell membrane and can result in accumulation of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) upon activation. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can be associated with features of metabolic syndrome, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease.

GLP-1R agonists are currently being investigated in connection with diabetes, obesity, and NASH. GLP-1R agonists include peptides, such as exenatide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide, that have been approved for the management of type 2 diabetes. Such peptides are predominantly administered by subcutaneous injection. Oral GLP-1 agonists are also under investigation for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Some GLP-1R agonists, such as liraglutide, dulaglutide, and exenatide, are resistant to rapid degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase 4, resulting in longer half-lives than endogenous GLP-1.

There remains a need for compounds, such as agonists of GLP-1R, with desirable therapeutic properties, metabolic properties, and/or easy administration in the treatment of metabolic diseases and related diseases, including but not limited to NASH, obesity, and Type 2 diabetes.

Examples of “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” of the compounds disclosed herein also include salts derived from an appropriate base, such as an alkali metal (for example, sodium, potassium), an alkaline earth metal (for example, magnesium), ammonium and N(C₁≡C₄alkyl)4+. Also included are base addition salts, such as sodium or potassium salts.

Provided are also compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers, or a mixture thereof, in which from 1 to n hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom may be replaced by a deuterium atom or D, in which n is the number of hydrogen atoms in the molecule. As known in the art, the deuterium atom is a non-radioactive isotope of the hydrogen atom. Such compounds may increase resistance to metabolism, and thus may be useful for increasing the half-life of the compounds described herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomer, or a mixture thereof when administered to a mammal. See, e.g., Foster, “Deuterium Isotope Effects in Studies of Drug Metabolism”, Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 5(12):524-527 (1984). Such compounds are synthesized by means well known in the art, for example by employing starting materials in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium.

Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds also include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, ³⁶Cl, ¹²³I, and ¹²⁵I, respectively. Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of Formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

The compounds of the embodiments disclosed herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (−), (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. Where compounds are represented in their chiral form, it is understood that the embodiment encompasses, but is not limited to, the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form. Where chirality is not specified but is present, it is understood that the embodiment is directed to either the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form; or a racemic or scalemic mixture of such compound(s). As used herein, “scalemic mixture” is a mixture of stereoisomers at a ratio other than 1:1.

“Stereoisomer” as used herein refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and includes “enantiomers”, which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

“Tautomer” as used herein refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. In some embodiments, the present disclosure includes tautomers of said compounds.

“Solvate” as used herein refers to the result of the interaction of a solvent and a compound. Solvates of salts of the compounds described herein are also provided. Hydrates of the compounds described herein are also provided.

“Hydrate” as used herein refers to a compound of the disclosure that is chemically associated with one or more molecules of water.

“Prevention” or “preventing” means any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. Compounds may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk or has a family history of the disease or condition.

“Prodrug” as used herein refers to a derivative of a drug that upon administration to the human body is converted to the parent drug according to some chemical or enzymatic pathway. In some embodiments, a prodrug is a biologically inactive derivative of a drug that upon administration to the human body is converted to the biologically active parent drug according to some chemical or enzymatic pathway.

“Treatment” or “treat” or “treating” as used herein refers to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results. For purposes of the present disclosure, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of a symptom and/or diminishment of the extent of a symptom and/or preventing a worsening of a symptom associated with a disease or condition. In one embodiment, “treatment” or “treating” includes one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition); and c) relieving the disease or condition, e.g., causing the regression of clinical symptoms, ameliorating the disease state, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival. “At risk individual” as used herein refers to an individual who is at risk of developing a condition to be treated. An individual “at risk” may or may not have detectable disease or condition and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment of methods described herein. “At risk” denotes that an individual has one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of a disease or condition and are known in the art. An individual having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing the disease or condition than an individual without these risk factor(s).

Also disclosed herein are the in vivo metabolic products of the compounds described herein, to the extent such products are novel and unobvious over the prior art. Such products may result for example from the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification and the like of the administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, included are novel and unobvious compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound with a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products typically are identified by preparing a radiolabeled (e.g. ¹⁴C or ³H) compound, administering it parenterally in a detectable dose (e.g. greater than about 0.5 mg/kg) to an animal such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to man, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur (typically about 30 seconds to 30 hours) and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood or other biological samples. These products can be easily isolated since they are labeled (others are isolated by the use of antibodies capable of binding epitopes surviving in the metabolite). The metabolite structures are determined in conventional fashion, e.g. by MS or NMR analysis. In general, analysis of metabolites can be done in the same way as conventional drug metabolism studies well-known to those skilled in the art. The conversion products, so long as they are not otherwise found in vivo, can be useful in diagnostic assays for therapeutic dosing of the compounds even if they possess no GLP-1R activity of their own.

Recipes and methods for determining stability of compounds in surrogate gastrointestinal secretions are known. Compounds are defined herein as stable in the gastrointestinal tract where less than about 50 mole percent of the protected groups are deprotected in surrogate intestinal or gastric juice upon incubation for 1 hour at 37° C. Simply because the compounds are stable to the gastrointestinal tract does not mean that they cannot be hydrolyzed in vivo. The prodrugs typically will be stable in the digestive system but may be substantially hydrolyzed to the parental drug in the digestive lumen, liver, lung or other metabolic organ, or within cells in general. As used herein, a prodrug is understood to be a compound that is chemically designed to efficiently liberate the parent drug after overcoming biological barriers to oral delivery.

II. Methods of Preparing Compounds

The compounds of the present disclosure can be prepared by any method known in the art. The following exemplary general methods illustrate routes that may be used to obtain a compound of the present disclosure.

C. Biological Data

GLP-1R Activation—cAMP Assay 1

GLP-1R activation by compounds of the present disclosure were quantified by measuring cAMP increase in CHO cells stably expressing GLP-1R (MultiSpan product #C₁₂₆₇-1a). The cells were harvested and plated in growth medium (DMEM/F-12 (Corning product #10-090-CV) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone product #SH30071-03), penicillin/streptomycin (Corning product #30-002CI) and 10 g/ml puromycin (Gibco product #Al 1138-03)) at 1,000 cells/well in a 384-well plate (Greiner product #781080). The cells were then incubated overnight at 37° C., 5% CO₂. The next day, the medium was removed and the cells were washed with DPBS (Corning product #21-031-CM) before adding the assay medium (HBSS, Corning product #21-023-CV) with 20 mM Hepes (Gibco product #15630-080) and 0. 1% BSA (Rockland Immunochemicals product #BSA-1000)). Following the medium change, the cells were incubated for 1 hour at 37° C., 5% CO₂. The tested GLP-1 compound was added to the cells in a 10-point dose response followed by a 30 minutes incubation at 37° C., 5% CO₂. cAMP concentration increase was then detected using Cisbio's cAMP Gs Dynamic Kit (product #62AM4PEC) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The response was plotted against the log of the agonist concentration and fitted to a sigmoidal equation to determine the EC₅₀.

GLP-1R Activation—cAMP Assay 2

GLP-1R activation by small molecule agonists was quantified by measuring cAMP increase in CHO cells stably expressing GLP-1R (MultiSpan product #C_1267-1a). 50 nL of agonists were pre-spotted in a 10-point dose response onto 384-well plate (Corning product #CL3826) using the Labcyte Echo System. The cells were harvested and plated in assay buffer (HIBSS (Corning product #21-023-CV) with 20 mM Hepes (Gibco product #15630-080) and 0.100 BSA (Rockland Immunochemicals product #BSA-1000) at 1,000 cells/well, 10 μL/well, onto the pre-spotted plates. The cells are then incubated for 30 minutes at 37° C., 500 CO₂. cAMP concentration increase was then detected using Cisbio's cAMP Gs Dynamic Kit (product #62AM4PEC) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The response was plotted against the log of the agonist concentration and fitted to a sigmoidal equation to determine the EC₅₀.

All compounds were run on one of the two GLP-1R Activation cAMP assays and the result are listed in Table 3, below.

Phamacokinetic (PK) Studies
Test Articles:

Examples 60, 115, 117, and 119 were tested along with comparative examples CE-1 and CE-2.

Dose Formulation Preparation

Compounds CE-2, Example 60, Example 115, Example 117, and Example 119 were combined with a mixture of 1000 NMP (v:v) and 9000 PEG300 (v:v), and the mixture was stirred until a homogeneous solution was obtained.

Compound CE-1 was combined with a mixture of 15% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (w:v) and 85% Mili-Q water (v:v), and the mixture was stirred until a homogeneous solution was obtained.

Study Design

Young adult non-naive Cynomolgus monkeys with weight about 2.5-5 kg (n=1-3/test article/route) were fasted overnight and then dosed with either CE-1, CE2, Example 60, Example 115, Example 117 or Example 119. Food was supplied approximately 4 hours post dose and animals were provided with free access to water all the time. Animals were restrained at designated time points for blood sampling. Approximately 500 μL of blood samples was taken via cephalic or saphenous vein into EDTA-K2 tubes. For oral administration (PO): blood samples were generally collected pre-dose, and at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr., 2 hr., 4 hr., 8 hr., 12 hr., and 24 hr. time points after dosing. Blood was be maintained on wet ice, in chilled cryoracks, or at approximately 5° C. prior to centrifugation to obtain plasma. Centrifugation was conducted within 1 hour of collection. Plasma (approximately 200 μL) was placed into a micronic tubes containing 4 μL of formic acid (the final concentration of formic acid in plasma was approximately 2%) and samples were vortex mixed. Samples were maintained on dry ice prior to storage at approximately −70° C.

Bioanalytical Analysis

LC-MS/MS assays were utilized to quantify the concentration of the test articles in plasma as follows.

Sample Preparation

50 μL plasma sample was mixed with 350 μL of ACN combined with an internal standard. The mixture was then vortexed for about 1-5 min, and centrifuged at about 4,000-5,800 rpm for about 10-15 mm. An aliquot of 1 μL supernatant was used for LC-MS/MS analysis.

LC-MS/MS Method

MS conditions: A Sciex API 6500 equipped with electrospray ionization in the positive ion selected reaction monitoring mode was used for detection.

Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameters

Pharmacokinetics parameters, including area under the curve (AUC_0-24), maximum plasma concentration (C_max), time to reach maximum plasma concentration (T_max), oral bioavailability (F %), etc., were calculated using Dotmatics software in non-compartmental model.

The results of the pharmacokinetics studies are presented in FIG. 1 and Table 4. As is apparent in FIG. 1 CE-1 demonstrates low exposures (<10 nM plasma concentrations) over a period of 12 h after a single oral dose of 1 mg/kg that subsequently drop to below the detection limit. In comparison, CE-2 achieves disproportionately higher exposures 2 mg/kg at a 2-fold higher dose than CE-1 and has sustained exposures over 24 h after a single oral dose. However, the oral bioavailability for CE-1 and CE-2 is low, 2.5% and 27.4%, respectively.

In contrast, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 & 2 the plasma concentrations of orally-administered Examples 60, 115, 117, and 119 at the same dose level as CE-2 (i.e., 2 mg/kg were higher than CE-1 (117-407-fold higher AUC_0-24despite only 2-fold higher dose), and CE-2 (2-7-fold higher AUC_0-24for the same dose) over 24 hours after oral dosing. Further, the oral bioavailability of Examples 60, 115, 117 and were higher than that of CE-1 and CE-2. These data show that compounds disclosed herein can provide prolonged exposures and/or higher oral bioavailability at least within 24 h following a single oral dose administration of compound.
