Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A single mutation (R206H) within the kinase domain of one (ACVR1/ALK2) of the four human bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptors has been linked to a catastrophic disorder of secondary (heterotopic) bone formation. As a result of the mutation, all children presenting with features of classic Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) eventually become encased in, and their movement blocked by, a second heterotopic skeleton. The disorder has long been associated with dysregulation of BMP signaling in soft tissues (skeletal muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia) that were transformed into ribbons, sheets and plates of heterotopic bone via an endochondral process. In addition to the common R206H mutation linked to the classic form of FOP, other dysregulating mutations have been identified in ACVR1/ALK2 that lead to atypical and variant forms of FOP. Further, compounds effective in regulating BMP signaling based on their ability to inhibit ALK2 have been shown also to inhibit kinases from multiple signaling pathways.


Thus, there remains a need for additional compounds that inhibit the ALK2 kinase which will be suitable for various important therapeutic applications.

The term “substituted” is also contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. In a broad aspect, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein. The permissible substituents may be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds.

Formulations, Routes of Administration, and Dosing

The compounds of the invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, either alone or as a component of a pharmaceutical composition, can be administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient, in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, e.g., orally or parenterally, by intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, topical, or subcutaneous routes. Additional routes of administration are also contemplated by the invention.


Thus, the present compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be systemically administered, e.g., orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable to vehicle such as an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, may be compressed into tablets, or may be incorporated directly with the food of the patient's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. In some embodiments, such compositions and preparations contain at least 0.1% by weight of active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The percentage of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in such compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of a given unit dosage form. In some embodiments, the amount of active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in such compositions is a therapeutically effective amount.


The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain the following diluents and carriers: binders such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, fructose, lactose or aspartame or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring may be added. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier, such as a vegetable oil or a polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the solid unit dosage form. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with gelatin, wax, shellac or sugar and the like. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, sucrose or fructose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any unit dosage form should be pharmaceutically acceptable and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and devices.


The active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may also be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally by infusion or injection. Solutions of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be prepared in water or physiologically acceptable aqueous solution, optionally mixed with a nontoxic surfactant. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, triacetin, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.


The pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion can include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powders comprising the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which are adapted for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutions or dispersions, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, the ultimate dosage form should be sterile, fluid and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The liquid carrier or vehicle can be a solvent or liquid dispersion medium comprising, for example, water, ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and the like), vegetable oils, nontoxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions or by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, buffers or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.


Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filter sterilization. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation can include vacuum drying and the freeze drying techniques, which yield a powder of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, plus any additional desired ingredient present in the previously sterile-filtered solutions.


For topical administration, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be applied in pure form, i.e., when they are liquids. However, it will generally be desirable to administer them to the skin as compositions or formulations, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier suitable for dermatologic use, which may be a solid or a liquid.


Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, alumina and the like. Useful liquid carriers include water, alcohols or glycols or water-alcohol/glycol blends, in which the active compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be dissolved or dispersed at effective levels, optionally with the aid of non-toxic surfactants. Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antimicrobial agents can be added to optimize the properties for a given use. The resultant liquid compositions can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnate bandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area using pump-type or aerosol sprayers.


Thickeners such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, fatty acid salts and esters, fatty alcohols, modified celluloses or modified mineral materials can also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadable pastes, gels, ointments, soaps, and the like, for application directly to the skin of the user.


Examples of useful dermatological compositions which can be used to deliver the compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to the skin are known in the art; for example, see Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392; incorporated herein by reference), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478; incorporated herein by reference), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157; incorporated herein by reference), and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,508; incorporated herein by reference).


Useful dosages of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be determined, at least initially, by comparing their in vitro activity and in vivo activity in animal models. Methods for the extrapolation of effective dosages in mice, and other animals, to humans are known in the art; for example, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,949 (incorporated herein by reference).


The amount of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular compound or salt selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or clinician.


In general, however, a suitable dose will be in the range of from about 0.5 to about 100 mg/kg body weight of the recipient per day, e.g., from about 3 to about 90 mg/kg of body weight per day, from about 6 to about 75 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, from about of 10 to about 60 mg/kg of body weight per day, or from about 15 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day.


An active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be conveniently formulated in unit dosage form; for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, 10 to 750 mg, or 50 to 500 mg of active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, per unit dosage form. In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising an active compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, formulated in such a unit dosage form. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses to be administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations.


An active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, other agents that are useful for treating or preventing a disease or condition whose treatment would benefit from ALK2 kinase inhibition.


Other delivery systems can include time-release, delayed release, or sustained release delivery systems such as are well-known in the art. Such systems can avoid repeated administrations of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, increasing convenience to the subject and the physician. Many types of release delivery systems are available and known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Use of a long-term sustained release implant may be desirable. Long-term release, as used herein, means that the delivery system or is implant constructed and arranged to deliver therapeutic levels of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for at least 30 days, and preferably 60 days.


In certain embodiments, an active compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated for intraocular administration, for example direct injection or insertion within or in association with an intraocular medical device.


An active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be formulated for depositing into a medical device, which may include any of a variety of conventional grafts, stents, including stent grafts, catheters, balloons, baskets, or other device that can be deployed or permanently implanted within a body lumen. As a particular example, it would be desirable to have devices and methods which can deliver compounds of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, to the region of a body which has been treated by interventional technique.


In exemplary embodiments, an active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be deposited within a medical device, such as a stent, and delivered to the treatment site for treatment of a portion of the body.


Stents have been used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents (i.e., drugs). Intravascular stents are generally permanently implanted in coronary or peripheral vessels.


Stent designs include those of U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,655 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 (Gianturco), or U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 (Wiktor). Such designs include both metal and polymeric stents, as well as self-expanding and balloon-expandable stents. Stents may also be used to deliver a drug at the site of contact with the vasculature, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,417 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,760 (Narciso, Jr.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,634 (Narciso, Jr.), and in International Patent Application Nos. WO 91/12779 (Medtronic, Inc.) and WO 90/13332 (Cedars-Sanai Medical Center), for example.


The term “deposited” means that the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is coated, adsorbed, placed, or otherwise incorporated into the device by methods known in the art. For example, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be embedded and released from within (“matrix type”) or surrounded by and released through (“reservoir type”) polymer materials that coat or span the medical device. In the latter example, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be entrapped within the polymer materials or coupled to the polymer materials using one or more the techniques for generating such materials known in the art. In other formulations, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be linked to the surface of the medical device without the need for a coating, for example by means of detachable bonds, and release with time or can be removed by active mechanical or chemical processes. In other formulations, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be in a permanently immobilized form that presents the active compound at the implantation site.


In certain embodiments, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be incorporated with polymer compositions during the formation of biocompatible coatings for medical devices, such as stents. The coatings produced from these components are typically homogeneous and are useful for coating a number of devices designed for implantation.


The polymer may be either a biostable or a bioabsorbable polymer depending on the desired rate of release or the desired degree of polymer stability, but frequently a bioabsorbable polymer is suitable for this embodiment because, unlike a biostable polymer, it will typically not be present long after implantation to cause any adverse, chronic local response. Bioabsorbable polymers that could be used include, but are not limited to, poly(L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyglycolide (PGA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLA/PGA), poly(hydroxybutyrate), poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), polydioxanone, polyorthoester, polyanhydride, poly(glycolic acid), poly(D-lactic acid), poly(L-lactic acid), poly(D, L-lactic acid), poly(D, L-lactide) (PLA), poly (L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PGA/PTMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydioxanone (PDS), polyphosphoester, polyphosphoester urethane, poly(amino acids), cyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonate), copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO/PLA), polyalkylene oxalates, polyphosphazenes and biomolecules such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen and hyaluronic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, cross linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels, and other suitable bioabsorbable polymers known in the art. Also, biostable polymers with a relatively low chronic tissue response such as polyurethanes, silicones, and polyesters could be used, and other polymers could also be used if they can be dissolved and cured or polymerized on the medical device such as polyolefins, polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketones; polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters, such as polyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; pyran copolymer; polyhydroxy-propyl-methacrylamide-phenol; polyhydroxyethyl-aspartamide-phenol; polyethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues; polyamides, such as Nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins, polycarbonates; polyoxymethylenes; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins, polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers, and carboxymethyl cellulose.


Polymers and semipermeable polymer matrices may be formed into shaped articles, such as valves, stents, tubing, prostheses and the like.


In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is coupled to a polymer or semipermeable polymer matrix that is formed as a stent or stent-graft device.


Typically, polymers are applied to the surface of an implantable device by spin coating, dipping, or spraying. Additional methods known in the art can also be utilized for this purpose. Methods of spraying include traditional methods as well as microdeposition techniques with an inkjet type of dispenser. Additionally, a polymer can be deposited on an implantable device using photo-patterning to place the polymer on only specific portions of the device. This coating of the device provides a uniform layer around the device which allows for improved diffusion of various analytes through the device coating.


In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound of the invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated for release from the polymer coating into the environment in which the medical device is placed. Preferably, the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is released in a controlled manner over an extended time frame (e.g., months) using at least one of several well-known techniques involving polymer carriers or layers to control elution. Some of these techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application 2004/0243225A1, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.


Moreover, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,729, which is incorporated herein in its entirety, the reagents and reaction conditions of the polymer compositions can be manipulated so that the release of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the polymer coating can be controlled. For example, the diffusion coefficient of the one or more polymer coatings can be modulated to control the release of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the polymer coating. In a variation on this theme, the diffusion coefficient of the one or more polymer coatings can be controlled to modulate the ability of an analyte that is present in the environment in which the medical device is placed (e.g., an analyte that facilitates the breakdown or hydrolysis of some portion of the polymer) to access one or more components within the polymer composition (and for example, thereby modulate the release of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the polymer coating). Yet another embodiment of the invention includes a device having a plurality of polymer coatings, each having a plurality of diffusion coefficients. In such embodiments of the invention, the release of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the polymer coating can be modulated by the plurality of polymer coatings.


In yet another embodiment of the invention, the release of the active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the polymer coating is controlled by modulating one or more of the properties of the polymer composition, such as the presence of one or more endogenous or exogenous compounds, or alternatively, the pH of the polymer composition. For example, certain polymer compositions can be designed to release an active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in response to a decrease in the pH of the polymer composition.

Kits comprising a compound of the invention are also provided. In one embodiment, a kit is provided comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one of packaging material, and instructions for administering the compound of the invention or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the other therapeutic agent or agents to a mammal to treat or prevent a disease or condition that would benefit from ALK2 inhibition. In one embodiment, the mammal is a human. In a specific embodiment, the mammal is a human.


In another embodiment, a kit is provided comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one of at least one other therapeutic agent, packaging material, and instructions for administering the compound of the invention or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the other therapeutic agent or agents to a mammal to treat or prevent a disease or condition that would benefit from ALK2 inhibition. In a specific embodiment, the mammal is a human.


It will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the relevant arts that other suitable modifications and adaptations to the compositions and methods described herein are readily apparent from the description of the invention contained herein in view of information known to the ordinarily skilled artisan, and may be made without departing from the scope of the invention or any embodiment thereof.
