Abstract
Provided herein are compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating MALT1 and for treating related diseases, disorders, and conditions.
Description
BACKGROUND

Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is an intracellular signaling protein, known from innate (e.g., natural killer cells NK, dendritic cells DC, and mast cells) and adaptive immune cells (e.g., T cells and B cells). MALT1 plays an essential role in influencing immune responses. For example, in T cell receptor signaling, MALT1 mediates nuclear factor κB (NFKB) signaling, leading to T cell activation and proliferation. Accordingly, MALT1 is of interest in the mechanism of autoimmune and inflammatory pathologies. In addition, constitutive (dysregulated) MALT activity is associated with cancers such as MALT lymphoma and activated B cell-like diffuse large B Cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL). Modulators of MALT1 activity may be useful as potential therapeutics.


SUMMARY

Provided herein are compounds designed to act as MALT1 modulators. In some embodiments, such compounds are envisioned to be useful as therapeutic agents for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, disorders, or conditions or cancers.

Definitions
Chemical Definitions

Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.


Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various isomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N Y, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The invention additionally encompasses compounds described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.


As used herein a pure enantiomeric compound is substantially free from other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., in enantiomeric excess). In other words, an “S” form of the compound is substantially free from the “R” form of the compound and is, thus, in enantiomeric excess of the “R” form. The term “enantiomerically pure” or “pure enantiomer” denotes that the compound comprises more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 98.5% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.2% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, more than 99.6% by weight, more than 99.7% by weight, more than 99.8% by weight or more than 99.9% by weight, of the enantiomer. In certain embodiments, the weights are based upon total weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound.


In the compositions provided herein, an enantiomerically pure compound can be present with other active or inactive ingredients. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure R-compound can comprise, for example, about 90% excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure R-compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure R-compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight R-compound and at most about 5% by weight S-compound, by total weight of the compound. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure S-compound can comprise, for example, about 90% excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure S-compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure S compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight 5-compound and at most about 5% by weight R-compound, by total weight of the compound. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient can be formulated with little or no excipient or carrier.


Compound described herein may also comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including 1H, 2H (D or deuterium), and 3H (T or tritium); C may be in any isotopic form, including 12C, 13C, and 14C; O may be in any isotopic form, including 16O and 18O; F may be in any isotopic form, including 18F and 19F; and the like.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Routes of Administration

Compounds provided in accordance with the present invention are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. This invention therefore provides pharmaceutical compositions that contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds described, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, carriers, including inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, including sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers and adjuvants. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art (see, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 17th Ed. (1985); and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 3rd Ed. (G. S. Banker & C. T. Rhodes, Eds.)


The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses by any of the accepted modes of administration of agents having similar utilities, for example as described in those patents and patent applications incorporated by reference, including rectal, buccal, intranasal and transdermal routes, by intra-arterial injection, intravenously, intraperitoneally, parenterally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, topically, as an inhalant, or via an impregnated or coated device such as a stent, for example, or an artery-inserted cylindrical polymer.


One mode for administration is parenteral, particularly by injection. The forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration by injection include aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Aqueous solutions in saline are also conventionally used for injection, but less preferred in the context of the present invention. Ethanol, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like (and suitable mixtures thereof), cyclodextrin derivatives, and vegetable oils may also be employed. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and 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.


Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating a compound according to the present invention in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various other ingredients as enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.


Oral administration is another route for administration of compounds in accordance with the invention. Administration may be via capsule or enteric coated tablets, or the like. In making the pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one compound described herein, the active ingredient is usually diluted by an excipient and/or enclosed within such a carrier that can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material (as above), which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.


Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents.


The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art. Controlled release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolutional systems containing polymer-coated reservoirs or drug-polymer matrix formulations. Examples of controlled release systems are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,770; 4,326,525; 4,902,514; and 5,616,345. Another formulation for use in the methods of the present invention employs transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds of the present invention in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,023,252, 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.


The compositions are preferably formulated in a unit dosage form. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient (e.g., a tablet, capsule, ampoule). The compounds are generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. Preferably, for oral administration, each dosage unit contains from 1 mg to 2 g of a compound described herein, and for parenteral administration, preferably from 0.1 to 700 mg of a compound a compound described herein. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered usually will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.


For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.


The tablets or pills of the present invention may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action, or to protect from the acid conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.


Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. Preferably, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in preferably pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

Example 2. MALT1 Biochemical Assay

Inhibitor potency was evaluated by measuring enzymatic activity of full length MALT1 at varying concentrations of compound. The enzymatic assay consists of a single substrate reaction that monitors the release of a fluorescent dye upon cleavage of the peptide substrate. The peptide substrate has the following sequence: Ac-Leu-Arg-Ser-Arg-Rh110-dPro (custom synthesis from WuXi AppTec, Shanghai, China). The assay buffer consists of 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 0.8 M sodium citrate, 1 mM DTT, 0.004% tween-20, and 0.005% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Steady-state kinetic analysis of peptide substrate binding resulted in a Michaelis-Menten constant (KM) of 150 μM. The assay was performed in a 384-well F-bottom polypropylene, black microplate (Greiner Bio_One, Catalog no. 781209) at 15 nM enzyme and 30 μM peptide substrate. The reaction was quenched after 60 minutes with the addition of iodoacetate at a final concentration of 10 mM. Total fluorescence was measured using an Envision (PerkinElmer) with fluorescence excitation at 485 nm and emission at 520 mm.


For potency determination, 1 μL of serially diluted compound (in 100% DMSO) was pre-incubated with 40 μL of enzyme for 30 minutes. The reaction was initiated with the addition of 10 μL of peptide substrate. The relative fluorescence units were transformed to percent inhibition by using 0% and 100% inhibition controls as reference. The 100% inhibition control consisted of 1 μM final concentration of (S)-1-(5-chloro-6-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-3-(2-chloro-7-(1-methoxyethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)urea (IC50=15 nM), while the 0% inhibition control consisted of 2% DMSO. IC50 values were calculated by fitting the concentration-response curves to a four-parameter logistic equation in GraphPad Prism.


Results from this assay are summarized in Table 2 below. In this table, “A” indicates IC50 of less than 0.1 μM; “B” indicates IC50 from 0.1 μM up to 1 μM; and “C” indicates IC50 of greater than 1 μM; “N/A” indicates not tested. For a compound that was tested in more than one experiment, the result shown represents the mean value.

Example 3. Jurkat IL-2 Assay

Inhibition was determined in a cell-based assay using Jurkat (ATCC, clone E6.1), an immortalized T-cell line, exposed to a dose response of compound and assessed for viability, and Il-2 inhibition by ELISA. Cells were cultured in RPMI/10% FBS (Invitrogen 11875093, Atlanta Biologicals S12450H), maintained below 3E6/mL and only used in assays while below passage 25. Compounds were stamped by ECHO onto 384w plates (PerkinElmer Culturplate, 6007680). The cells were plated in fresh media on top of compound and incubated for 30 minutes before stimulation with soluble anti-CD3/28/2 (Stemcell, 10970) for 24 hours. Supernatant was collected and assessed for Il-2 (MSD, 384w, L21SA-1). To assess viability of cells treated with compound, cells were lysed with CTG reagent (Promega, G7570), and measured by luminometer. IL-2 curves were calculated as percent of DMSO (100%) and signal-inhibiting (0%, (S)-1-(5-chloro-6-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl)-3-(2-chloro-7-(1-methoxyethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl)urea) controls. IC50s calculated using 4-parameter fit in GraphPad Prism.

Example 4. High Throughput Dialysis (HTD) Human Plasma Protein Binding Assay

Human plasma protein binding of various compounds of formula (I) were evaluated using the equilibrium dialysis method described herein.


Dialysis Membrane and Matrix Preparation

The dialysis membrane strips (HTD % a/b, catalog number 1101, HTDialysis LLC, Gales Ferry, CT, USA) were soaked in ultra-pure water at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. Each membrane strip containing 2 membranes was separated and soaked in 20:80 ethanol/water (v/v) for approximately 20 minutes, after which they were ready for use or were stored in the solution at 2-8° C. for up to a month. Prior to the experiment, the membrane was rinsed three times and soaked for 20 minutes in ultra-pure water.


On the day of experiment, the human plasma (BiolVT, catalog number HUMANPLNHPNN, sodium heparin or EDTA-K2 anticoagulant, multiple individuals pooled) was thawed by running under cold tap water and centrifuged at 3220 rpm for 5 minutes to remove any clots. The pH value of the resulting plasma was confirmed to be 7.0-8.0.


Dialysis Procedure

The test compounds and warfarin control (Stru Chem, catalog number SC-16139) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to obtain 10 mM stock solutions. DMSO working solutions were prepared at 400 μM. To prepare the loading matrix, the compound working solutions (5 μL) were added in a 1:200 ratio to blank human plasma (995 μL) and mixed thoroughly.


The time zero (T0) samples to be used for recovery determination were prepared as follows: 50 μL aliquots of loading matrix were transferred in triplicate to the sample collection plate. The samples were immediately matched with opposite blank buffer (basic solution (14.2 g/L Na2HPO4 and 8.77 g/L NaCl in deionized water) titrated with acidic solution (15.6 g/L NaH2PO4·2H2O and 8.77 g/L NaCl in deionized water) to pH 7.4±0.1) to obtain a final volume of 100 μL of 1:1 matrix/dialysis buffer (v/v) in each well. 500 μL stop solution (200 ng/mL tolbutamide and 200 ng/mL labetalol in acetonitrile) were added to these TO samples. They were then stored at 2-8° C. for further processing along with other post-dialysis samples.


To load the dialysis device (96-well equilibrium dialysis plate, model 96b, catalog number 1006. HTDialysis LLC, Gales Ferry, CT, USA), an aliquot of 150 μL of the loading matrix was transferred to the donor side of each dialysis well in triplicate, and 150 μL of the dialysis buffer was loaded to the receiver side of the well. The dialysis plate was placed in a humidified incubator at 37° C. with 5% CO2 on a shaking platform that rotated slowly (about 100 rpm) for 4 hours.


At the end of the dialysis, aliquots of 50 μL of the samples were taken from both the buffer side and the matrix side of the dialysis device. These samples were transferred into new 96-well plates (polypropylene, 2.2 mL/well, catalog number DWP-22-96-SQ-U-C-L. Apricot). Each sample was mixed with an equal volume of opposite blank matrix (buffer or matrix) to reach a final volume of 100 μL of 1:1 matrix/dialysis buffer (v/v) in each well. All samples were further processed by adding 500 μL of stop solution containing internal standards. The mixture was vortexed and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for about 20 minutes. An aliquot of 100 μL of supernatant of all the samples was then removed for LC-MS/MS analysis. Test compound concentrations in matrix and buffer samples were expressed as peak area ratios (PAR) of analyte/internal standard (no standard curve).


The single blank samples were prepared by transferring 50 μL of blank matrix to a 96 well plate (polypropylene. 2.2 mL/well, catalog number DWP-22-96-SQ-U-C-L, Apricot) and adding 50 μL of blank PBS buffer to each well. The blank plasma must match the species of plasma used in the plasma side of the well. Then the matrix-matched samples were further processed by adding 500 μL of stop solution containing internal standards, following the same sample processing method as the dialysis samples.


Data Calculation

The % Unbound values were calculated using the following equation: % Unbound=100×F/T; where [F] is the analyte concentration or peak area ratio of analyte/internal standard on the buffer (receiver) side of the membrane and [T] is the analyte concentration or peak area ratio of analyte/internal standard on the matrix (donor) side of the membrane.


Results from this assay are summarized in Table 4 below. In this table, “A” indicates % Unbound compound less than 8%; “B” indicates % Unbound compound from 8% to 20%; and “C” indicates % Unbound compound greater than 20%.

Example 5. Thermodynamic Solubility (Ts) Assay in Fasted State Simulated Intestinal Fluid (FaSSIF)

The solubilities of various compounds of formula (I) were determined using a thermodynamic solubility assay. The thermodynamic solubility assay employed the shake flask method followed by HPLC-UV analysis. The following stepwise procedure was followed:


Samples of no less than 2.0 mg were weighed into the lower chambers of Whatman mini-uniprep vials (catalog number UN203NPUORG) and 450 μL of FaSSIF media (0.056% (w/v) lecithin, 0.161% (w/v) sodium taurocholate, 0.39% (w/v) monobasic potassium phosphate, 0.77% (w/v) potassium chloride, deionized H2O, pH 6.5) was added into each vial.


After the buffer was added, the filter pistons of the mini-uniprep vials were placed to the position of the liquid level to ensure the full contact of buffer and compound with the filter during the incubation.


The samples were then vortexed for 2 minutes, after which they were incubated at 25° C. with shaking (880 rpm) for 24 hours.


The samples were then centrifuged at 4000 rpm (20° C.) for 10 min.


The miniunipreps were then compressed to prepare filtrates, and the test concentration of the compound in the filtrate was determined using HPLC-UV (Waters XBridge C18, 4.6*100 mm column; mobile phase A: 0.1% TFA in H2O; mobile phase B: 0.1% TFA in acetonitrile). At least 5 UV standard solutions (e.g. amiodarone hydrochloride, carbamazepine, dexamethasone) were injected into the HPLC from low to high concentration subsequently followed by testing of the thermodynamic solubility supernatants in duplicate. The solubilities of the tested compounds are given in μg/mL.


Results from this assay are summarized in Table 5 below. In this table, “A” indicates a solubility of less than 250 μg/mL; “B” indicates a solubility from 250 μg/mL to 1750 μg/mL; and “C” indicates a solubility of greater than 1750 μg/mL.

EQUIVALENTS AND SCOPE

In the claims, articles such as “a,” “an,” and “the” may mean one or more than one unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise evident from the context. Claims or descriptions that include “or” between one or more members of a group are considered satisfied if one, more than one, or all of the group members are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise evident from the context. The invention includes embodiments in which exactly one member of the group is present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process. The invention includes embodiments in which more than one, or all of the group members are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process.


Furthermore, the invention encompasses all variations, combinations, and permutations in which one or more limitations, elements, clauses, and descriptive terms from one or more of the listed claims is introduced into another claim. For example, any claim that is dependent on another claim can be modified to include one or more limitations found in any other claim that is dependent on the same base claim. Where elements are presented as lists, e.g., in Markush group format, each subgroup of the elements is also disclosed, and any element(s) can be removed from the group. It should it be understood that, in general, where the invention, or aspects of the invention, is/are referred to as comprising particular elements and/or features, certain embodiments of the invention or aspects of the invention consist, or consist essentially of, such elements and/or features. For purposes of simplicity, those embodiments have not been specifically set forth in haec verba herein. It is also noted that the terms “comprising” and “containing” are intended to be open and permits the inclusion of additional elements or steps. Where ranges are given, endpoints are included. Furthermore, unless otherwise indicated or otherwise evident from the context and understanding of one of ordinary skill in the art, values that are expressed as ranges can assume any specific value or sub-range within the stated ranges in different embodiments of the invention, to the tenth of the unit of the lower limit of the range, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
