The present disclosure is directed generally to compositions and methods that are useful in the field of medicine. More specifically, the disclosure provides synthetic inhibitors of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), including inhibitors that selectively inhibit MASP-2 over thrombin, compositions thereof, and methods for the manufacture and use thereof.
The complement system plays a role in the inflammatory response and becomes activated because of tissue damage or microbial infection. Complement activation must be tightly regulated to ensure selective targeting of invading microorganisms and avoid self-inflicted damage (Ricklin et al., Nat. Immunol. 11:785-797, 2010). Currently, it is widely accepted that the complement system can be activated through three distinct pathways: the classical pathway, the lectin pathway, and the alternative pathway. The classical pathway is usually triggered by a complex composed of host antibodies bound to a foreign particle (i.e., an antigen) and generally requires prior exposure to an antigen for the generation of a specific antibody response. Since activation of the classical pathway depends on a prior adaptive immune response by the host, the classical pathway is part of the acquired immune system. In contrast, both the lectin and alternative pathways are independent of adaptive immunity and are part of the innate immune system.
Mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) has been shown to be required for the function of the lectin pathway, one of the principal complement activation pathways (Vorup-Jensen et al., J. Immunol 165:2093-2100, 2000; Ambrus et al., J Immunol. 170: 1374-1382, 2003; Schwaeble et al., PNAS 108:7523-7528, 2011). Importantly, inhibition of MASP-2 does not appear to interfere with the antibody-dependent classical complement activation pathway, which is a critical component of the acquired immune response to infection. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,011,860 (assigned to Omeros Corporation), which is hereby incorporated by reference, discloses a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting human MASP-2 has been generated which binds to human MASP-2 with high affinity and blocks the lectin pathway complement activity and is therefore useful to treat various lectin complement pathway-associated diseases and disorders.
MASP-2-dependent complement activation has been implicated as contributing to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic disease states. Therefore, a need exists for compounds that are suitable for administration/treatment of subject suffering from MASP-2 complement pathway-associated diseases and disorders, including diseases that are not suitably or efficiently treated with large molecule biologic inhibitors.

These and other aspects, objects and embodiments will become more apparent when read with the detailed description and figures which follow.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the subject matter of the present disclosure, suitable methods and materials are described below. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.
In certain embodiments herein, reference is made to features and aspects of the disclosure, including method steps. All possible combinations of such features and aspects within the embodiments of the disclosure are included, at least to the extent that such combinations are non-contradictory. For example, if an embodiment presents aspects A, B, and C, it is understood that this also discloses embodiments including both aspects A and B, both aspects B and C, and both aspects A and C, as well as an embodiment with aspects A, B, and C.
The terms “a,” “an,” or “the” not only include aspects with one member, but also include aspects with more than one member. For instance, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a cell” includes a plurality of such cells and reference to “the agent” includes reference to one or more agents known to those skilled in the art.
The terms “about” and “approximately” refer to an acceptable degree of error for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Typical, exemplary degrees of error are within ±20 percent (%); preferably, within ±10%; and more preferably, within ±c5% of a given value or range of values. Any reference to “about X” specifically indicates at least the values X, 0.95X, 0.96X, 0.97X, 0.98X, 0.99X, 1.01X, 1.02X, 1.03X, 1.04X, and 1.05X. Thus, “about X” is intended to teach and provide written support for a claim limitation of, e.g., “0.98X.” Alternatively, in biological systems, the terms “about” and “approximately” may mean values that are within an order of magnitude, preferably within 5-fold, and more preferably within 2-fold of a given value. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate unless stated otherwise, meaning that the term “about” or “approximately” can be inferred when not expressly stated. When “about” is applied to the beginning of a numerical range, it applies to both ends of the range. Thus, “from about 5 to 20%” is equivalent to “from about 5% to about 20%.” When “about” is applied to the first value of a set of values, it applies to all values in that set. Thus, “about 7, 9, or 11 mg/kg” is equivalent to “about 7, about 9, or about 11 mg/kg.”
The term “MASP-2” refers to mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2. Human MASP-2 protein with UniProt accession code O00187 (SEQ ID NO:1). The Serine Protease Domain (‘B-chain’=Mannan-binding lectin serine protease 2 B chain, based on UniProtKB-O00187 (MASP-2_HUMAN)) includes residues 445 to 686 (or consists of residues 445 to 686).
The term “MASP-2-dependent complement activation” refers to MASP-2-dependent activation of the lectin pathway, which occurs under physiological conditions (i.e., in the presence of Ca++) leading to the formation of the lectin pathway C3 convertase C4b2a and upon accumulation of the C3 cleavage product C3b subsequently to the C5 convertase C4b2a(C3b)n.
The term “MASP-2-dependent complement-associated disease or disorder” refers to a disease or disorder that is associated with MASP-2-dependent complement activation.
The term “MASP-2-associated disease or disorder” refers to a disease or disorder that is associated with activation or activity of MASP-2, including MASP-2-dependent complement-associated disease or disorders, and wherein inhibition of MASP-2 is or is expected to be therapeutically beneficial.
The term “lectin pathway” refers to complement activation that occurs via the specific binding of serum and non-serum carbohydrate-binding proteins including mannan-binding lectin (MBL), CL-11 and the ficolins (H-ficolin, M-ficolin, or L-ficolin).
The term “classical pathway” refers to complement activation that is triggered by an antibody bound to a foreign particle and requires binding of the recognition molecule Clq.
Amino acid residues are abbreviated as follows: alanine (Ala; A), asparagine (Asn; N), aspartic acid (Asp; D), arginine (Arg; R), cysteine (Cys; C), glutamic acid (Glu; E), glutamine (Gln; Q), glycine (Gly; G), histidine (His; H), isoleucine (Ile), leucine (Leu), lysine (Lys; K), methionine (Met; M), phenylalanine (Phe; F), proline (Pro; P), serine (Ser; S), threonine (Thr; T), tryptophan (Trp; W), tyrosine (Tyr; Y), and valine (Val; V).
In the broadest sense, the naturally occurring amino acids can be divided into groups based upon the chemical characteristic of the side chain of the respective amino acids. By “hydrophobic” amino acid is meant either His, Leu, Met, Phe, Trp, Tyr, Val, Ala, Cys or Pro. By “hydrophilic” amino acid is meant either Gly, Asn, Gln, Ser, Thr, Asp, Glu, Lys, Arg or His. This grouping of amino acids can be further sub-classed as follows: by “uncharged hydrophilic” amino acid is meant either Ser, Thr, Asn or Gln. By “acidic” amino acid is meant either Glu or Asp. By “basic” amino acid is meant either Lys, Arg or His.
The term “conservative amino acid substitution” is illustrated by a substitution among amino acids within each of the following groups:
The term “a subject” includes all mammals, including without limitation, humans, non-human primates, dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, cows, rabbits, pigs, and rodents.
“Mammal” includes humans and both domestic animals such as laboratory animals and household pets, (e.g., cats, dogs, swine, cattle, sheep, goats, horses, rabbits), and non-domestic animals such as wildlife and the like.
The terms “small molecule” and “small organic molecule” refers to a small carbon-containing molecule that has a molecular weight of about 2500 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 2000 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 1500 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 1000 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 750 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 500 daltons or lower. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 50 daltons or greater. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 75 daltons or greater. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 100 daltons or greater. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 150 daltons or greater. In some embodiments, a small molecule has a molecular weight of about 250 daltons or greater. In some embodiments, small molecules may have a molecular weight in the range from about 50 daltons to about 500 daltons, from about 50 daltons to about 750 daltons, from about 50 daltons to about 1000 daltons, from about 50 daltons to about 1500 daltons, from about 50 daltons to about 2000 daltons, or from about 50 daltons to about 2500 daltons. When the term “compound” is used herein, the term is explicitly intended to include small molecule compounds as defined herein (including any of the embodiments thereof).
As used herein, the terms “disease” and “condition” may be used interchangeably or may be different in that the particular malady or condition may not have a known causative agent (so that etiology has not yet been worked out) and it is therefore not yet recognized as a disease but only as an undesirable condition or syndrome, wherein a more or less specific set of symptoms have been identified by clinicians. In some embodiments, a disease is a pathological condition of an organ, a body part, or a system resulting from various causes, such as infection, genetic defect, or environmental stress that is characterized by an identifiable group of symptoms.
“Therapeutically effective amount,” “effective amount,” or “effective dose” refers to that amount of a compound of the disclosure that, when administered to a mammal (e.g., a human), is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, of a disease or condition in the mammal, preferably a human. The amount of a compound of the disclosure which constitutes a “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, the condition and its severity, the manner of administration, and the age of the mammal to be treated, but can be determined routinely by one of ordinary skill in the art having regard to his own knowledge and to this disclosure.
The term “subcutaneous administration” refers to administration of a formulation under all layers of the skin of a subject.
The term “histidine” specifically includes L-histidine unless otherwise specified.
The term “isotonic” refers to a formulation that has essentially the same osmotic pressure as human blood. Isotonic formulations will generally have an osmotic pressure from about 250 to about 350 mOsmol/L. Isotonicity can be measured using a vapor pressure or freezing point depression osmometer, for example.
The term “hypertonic” refers to a formulation with an osmotic pressure above that of human (i.e., greater than 350 mOsm/L).
The term “hydrogen-bonding” is a partially electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen (H) which is bound to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N) or oxygen (O) and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons. For example, when it is stated that the nitrogen acts as a “hydrogen bond donor” it means that a hydrogen (H) bound to a nitrogen (N) is donated by the nitrogen as it electrostatically attracted to or accepted by an adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons such as an oxygen. Similarly, when it is stated that an oxygen acts as a “hydrogen bond acceptor,” it means that a hydrogen (H) bound to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N) is electrostatically attracted to or “accepted by” an adjacent atom such as oxygen bearing a lone pair of electrons. Sometimes the hydrogen bonded atoms are called out without explicitly stating the origin and presence of an intermediate hydrogen atom. The term “hydrogen bonding” is used wherever LigPlot+ software predicts a hydrogen bonding interaction using its algorithm and applied parameters of 3.35 Å for maximum distance between hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. Not all hydrogen bonds may actually be in place simultaneously; this is evident for atoms that are shown to form 4 putative hydrogen bonds, where however, at any given time only 3 hydrogen bonds are chemically possible. In general, although crystal structures such as the co-crystal structural information herein does not directly show or detect hydrogen bonding, the software used to describe the co-crystal does predict such H-bonding exists. Therefore, throughout the disclosure when a H-bond is present and described, it may be said to be “predicted” by software to be present.
The term ionic bonding includes a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.
The term “van der Waals” interaction includes weak, short-range electrostatic attractive forces between uncharged molecules, arising from the interaction of permanent or transient electric dipole moments. As determined by LigPlot+ software employing models derived from the corresponding crystallographic MASP-2 compound co-structures, such interactions include all contacts that are computed using non-bonded contact parameters between hydrophobic to any contacts for interactions with a maximum contact distance of 3.90 Å.
The term “π-π interaction” or “π-π stacking” interaction includes attractive, non-covalent interactions between aromatic rings that are oriented either roughly parallel or roughly perpendicular (such as in “edge-face” interactions) to each other, since they contain π-bonds.
Typically, the active site of serine proteases such as MASP-2 is shaped as a cleft where the polypeptide substrate or inhibitor binds. Schechter and Berger labeled amino acid residues from the N to C terminus of the polypeptide substrate as follows: Pi, . . . , P3, P2, P1, P1′, P2′, P3′, . . . , Pj) and their respective binding sub-sites Si, . . . , S3, S2, S1, S1′, S2′, S3′, . . . , Sj. The cleavage is catalyzed between P1 and P1′ (Schechter, I. & Berger, A. On the size of the active site in proteases. I. Papain. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 27 (1967)).
The term “binding site” is an area on the protein wherein a small molecule can interact with, such as a region on the surface of MASP-2. The binding site or region may not or only partially overlap with the active site, but nevertheless render the MASP-2 molecule less active or inactive.
The term “or” refers to an alternative and should in general be construed non-exclusively. For example, a claim to “a composition comprising A or B” would typically present an aspect with a composition comprising both A and B. “Or” should, however, be construed to exclude those aspects presented that cannot be combined without contradiction (e.g., a composition pH that is between 9 and 10 or between 7 and 8).
The group “A or B” is equivalent to the group “selected from the group consisting of A and B.”
The linking term “comprising” or “comprise” is not closed. For example, “a composition comprising A” must include at least the component A, but it may also include one or more other components (e.g., B; B and C; B, C, and D; and the like). The term “comprising” therefore should in general be construed as not excluding additional ingredients. For example, a claim to “a composition comprising A” would cover compositions that include A and B; A, B, and C; A, B, C, and D; A, B, C, D, and E; and the like.
The term “hypertonic” refers to a formulation with an osmotic pressure above that of human (i.e., greater than 350 mOsm/KglHhO).
The term “agent” refers to a compound or mixture of compounds that, when added to a composition, tend to produce an effect on the composition's properties. For example, a composition comprising a thickening agent is likely to be more viscous than an otherwise identical comparative composition that lacks the thickening agent.
A “synthetic” compound means a compound that is not naturally occurring and that has been synthesized by humans. Reference to a compound herein may be understood to include reference to synthetic compounds, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The expressions, “ambient temperature” and “room temperature,” as used herein, are understood in the art, and refer generally to a temperature, e.g., a reaction temperature, that is about the temperature of the room in which the reaction is carried out, e.g., a temperature from about 20° C. to about 30° C.
At various places in the present specification, certain features of the compounds are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that such a disclosure include each and every individual sub-combination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the terms “C1-6 alkyl” and “C1-C6 alkyl” are specifically intended to individually disclose (without limitation) methyl, ethyl, C3 alkyl, C4 alkyl, C5 alkyl, and C6 alkyl.
The term “substituted” means that an atom or group of atoms formally replaces hydrogen as a “substituent” attached to another group. The term “substituted”, unless otherwise indicated, refers to any level of substitution, e.g., mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or higher substitution, where such substitution is permitted (e.g., results in a stable compound). The substituents are independently selected, and substitution may be at any chemically accessible position. It is to be understood that substitution at a given atom is limited by valency. The phrase “optionally substituted” means substituted or unsubstituted. The term “substituted” means that at least hydrogen atom is replaced with a substituent. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen atoms.
The terms “Cn-m” and “Cn-Cm” where n and m are integers indicates a group that contains from n to m carbon atoms. Examples include C1-4, C1-6, and the like. The term is intended to expressly disclose every member in the range, i.e., Cn, Cn+1, Cn+2 . . . Cm−2, Cm−1, Cm. For example, C1-6 is intended to disclose C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6. As used herein, “Cn-m” means the same as “Cn-Cm”.
The term “n-membered,” where n is an integer (e.g., 6-membered), typically describes the number of ring-forming atoms in a moiety where the number of ring-forming atoms is n. The term “n-m membered” wherein n and m are integers (e.g., 6-10 membered) describes a range where the number of ring forming atoms is from n to m. For example, piperidinyl is an example of a 6-membered heterocyclyl ring, pyrazolyl is an example of a 5-membered heteroaryl ring, pyridyl is an example of a 6-membered heteroaryl ring and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene is an example of a 10-membered cycloalkyl group.
“Alkyl” refers to a straight or branched hydrocarbon chain radical consisting solely of carbon and hydrogen atoms, containing no unsaturation, having from one to twelve carbon atoms, preferably one to eight carbon atoms, more preferably one to six carbon atoms, which is attached to the rest of the molecule by a single bond, e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, 1-methylethyl (iso-propyl), n-butyl, n-pentyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl), 3-methylhexyl, 2-methylhexyl, and the like.

“Alkynyl” refers to a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon group corresponding to an alkyl group as defined above having one or more triple carbon-carbon bonds. An alkynyl group formally corresponds to an alkyne with one C—H bond replaced by the point of attachment of the alkyl group to the remainder of the compound.

The compounds and methods of the present disclosure are also meant to encompass all pharmaceutically acceptable compounds of Structures (I), (II) and (III) being isotopically-labelled by having one or more atoms replaced by an atom having a different atomic mass or mass number.
Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds 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. These radio-labelled compounds could be useful to help determine or measure the effectiveness of the compounds, by characterizing, for example, the site or mode of action or binding affinity. Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of Structures (I), (II) or (III), for example, those incorporating a radioactive isotope, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e., 3H, and carbon-14, i.e., 14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.
Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e., 2H, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. In one embodiment, the compounds of Structures (I), (II) or (III) are enriched with deuterium. Such deuterated compounds can be achieved by methods known to one skilled in the art, such as exchanging protons with deuterium or by synthesizing the molecule with enriched starting materials.
Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 1C, 18F, 15O, and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of Structures (I), (II) or (III) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples and Preparations as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.
This disclosure is also meant to encompass the in vivo metabolic products of the disclosed compounds. Such products may result from, for example, the oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, esterification, and the like of an administered compound, primarily due to enzymatic processes. Accordingly, this disclosure includes compounds produced by a process comprising contacting a compound of this disclosure with a mammal for a period of time sufficient to yield a metabolic product thereof. Such products are typically are identified by administering a radio-labelled compound in a detectable dose to an animal, such as rat, mouse, guinea pig, monkey, or to human, allowing sufficient time for metabolism to occur, and isolating its conversion products from the urine, blood, or other biological samples.
“Stable compound” and “stable structure” are meant to indicate a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.
“Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event of circumstances may or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. For example, “optionally substituted aryl” means that the aryl radical may or may not be substituted and that the description includes both substituted aryl radicals and aryl radicals having no substitution (“unsubstituted”). When a functional group is described as “optionally substituted,” and in turn, substituents on the functional group are also “optionally substituted” and so on, for the purposes of this disclosure, such iterations are limited to five, preferably such iterations are limited to two.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient” includes without limitation any adjuvant, carrier, excipient, glidant, sweetening agent, diluent, preservative, dye/colorant, flavor enhancer, surfactant, wetting agent, dispersing agent, suspending agent, stabilizer, isotonic agent, solvent, or emulsifier which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.

Often crystallizations produce a solvate of the compound of the disclosure (e.g., a compound of Structure (I), (II) or (III)). As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to an aggregate that comprises one or more molecules of a compound of the disclosure with one or more molecules of solvent. The solvent may be water, in which case the solvate may be a hydrate. Alternatively, the solvent may be an organic solvent. Thus, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist as a hydrate, including a monohydrate, dihydrate, hemihydrate, sesquihydrate, trihydrate, tetrahydrate, and the like, as well as the corresponding solvated forms. The compound of the disclosure may be true solvates, while in other cases, the compound of the disclosure may merely retain adventitious water or be a mixture of water plus some adventitious solvent.
A “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a formulation of a compound of the disclosure and a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of the biologically active compound to mammals, e.g., humans. Such a medium includes all pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients therefor.
“Treating” or “treatment” as used herein covers the treatment of the disease or condition of interest in a mammal, preferably a human, having the disease or condition of interest, and includes:
As used herein, the terms “disease” and “condition” may be used interchangeably or may be different in that the particular malady or condition may not have a known causative agent (so that etiology has not yet been worked out) and it is therefore not yet recognized as a disease but only as an undesirable condition or syndrome, wherein a more or less specific set of symptoms have been identified by clinicians.
The compounds of the disclosure, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more stereocenter 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 centres giving rise to 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.
A “stereoisomer” 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. See, e.g., Smith, M. B. and J. March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 6th edition (Wiley, 2007), for a detailed description of the structure and properties of enantiomers and stereoisomers.
A “tautomer” refers to a proton shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule. The present disclosure includes tautomers of any said compounds.
The use of parentheses and brackets in substituent groups is used herein to conserve space. Accordingly, the use of parenthesis in a substituent group indicates that the group enclosed within the parentheses is attached directly to the atom preceding the parenthesis. The use of brackets in a substituent group indicates that the group enclosed within the brackets is also attached directly to the atom preceding the parenthesis.
The chemical naming protocol and structure diagrams used herein are a modified form of the I.U.P.A.C. nomenclature system, using ChemBioDraw Ultra Version 14.0 software program. For complex chemical names employed herein, a substituent group is named before the group to which it attaches. For example, cyclopropylethyl comprises an ethyl backbone with cyclopropyl substituent. In chemical structure diagrams, all bonds are identified, except for some carbon atoms, which are assumed to be bonded to sufficient hydrogen atoms to complete the valency.
At certain places, the definitions or embodiments may refer to specific rings (e.g., an azetidine ring, a pyridine ring, etc.). Unless otherwise indicated, these rings can be attached to any ring member provided that the valency of the atom is not exceeded.
When any two groups or two instances of the same substituent group are “independently selected” from a list of alternatives, the groups may be the same or different. For example, if Ra and Rb are independently selected from the group consisting of alkyl, fluoro, amino, and hydroxyalkyl, then a molecule with two Ra groups and two Rb groups could have all groups be alkyl group (e.g., four different alkyl groups). Alternatively, the first Ra could be alkyl, the second Ra could be fluoro, the first Rb could be hydroxyalkyl, and the second Rb could be amino (or any other substituents taken from the group). Alternatively, both Ra and the first Rb could be fluoro, while the second Rb could be alkyl (i.e., some pairs of substituent groups may be the same, while other pairs may be different). Unless otherwise indicated, if two or more groups having the same definition are present, but the definition provides for alternatives, it should be understood that each occurrence of the same group is independently selected from the possible alternatives. For example, if two or more Ra groups are present in a compound, and the definition of Ra provides that Ra can be A, B, or C, then it should be understood that each Ra group present in the compound is independently chosen from A, B, and C, so that the Ra groups present in the compound can be the same or different.
Compounds, and salts thereof, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts, can be found together with other substances such as water and solvents (e.g., hydrates and solvates) or can be isolated. When in the solid state, the compounds described herein, and salts thereof may occur in various forms and may, e.g., take the form of solvates, including hydrates. The compounds may be in any solid-state form, such as a polymorph or solvate, so unless clearly indicated otherwise, reference to compounds and salts thereof should be understood as encompassing any solid-state form of the compound.
In some embodiments, the compounds described herein or salts thereof, are substantially isolated. “Substantially isolated” means the compound is at least partially or substantially separated from the environment in which it was formed or detected. Partial separation can include, e.g., a composition enriched in the compounds of the disclosure. Substantial separation can include compositions containing at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 97%, or at least about 99% by weight of the compounds of the disclosure, or salt thereof.

As described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,919,094; 8,840,893; 8,652,477; 8,951,522, 9,011,860, 9,475,885, 9,644,035, U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. US 2013/0344073, US 2013/0266560, US 2015/0166675, US 2017/0137537, US 2017/0166660, US 2017/0189525, US 2017/0267781, US 2017/0283508, US 2017/0253667, US 2018/0105604, and PCT Publication Nos. WO 2018/045054, WO 2019/036460 and co-pending U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 62/688,611 (each of which is assigned to Omeros Corporation, the assignee of the instant application, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference), MASP-2-dependent complement activation has been implicated as contributing to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic disease states. For example, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,951,522, the primary function of the complement system, a part of the innate immune system, is to protect the host against infectious agents, however, inappropriate or over-activation of the complement system can lead to serious disease, such as thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs, including aHUS, TTP and HUS) in which endothelial damage as well as fibrin and platelet-rich thrombi in the microvasculature lead to organ damage. The lectin pathway plays a dominant role in activating complement in settings of endothelial cell stress or injury and preventing the activation of MASP-2 and the lectin pathway halts the sequence of enzymatic reactions that lead to the formation of the membrane attack complex, platelet activation and leukocyte recruitment. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,652,477, in addition to initiation of the lectin pathway, MASP-2 can also activate the coagulation system and is capable of cleaving prothrombin to thrombin.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is part of a group of conditions termed “Thrombotic microangiopathies.” In the atypical form of HUS (aHUS), the disease is associated with defective complement regulation and can be either sporadic or familial. Familial cases of aHUS are associated with mutations in genes coding for complement activation or complement regulatory proteins, including complement factor H, factor I, factor B, membrane cofactor CD46 as well as complement factor H-related protein 1 (CFHR1) and complement factor H-related protein 3 (CFHR3). (Zipfel, P. F., et al., PloS Genetics 3(3):e41 (2007)). The unifying feature of this diverse array of genetic mutations associated with aHUS is a predisposition to enhanced complement activation on cellular or tissue surfaces. A subject is a risk for developing aHUS upon the onset of at least one or more symptoms indicative of aHUS (e.g., the presence of anemia, thrombocytopenia and/or renal insufficiency) and/or the presence of thrombotic microangiopathy in a biopsy obtained from the subject. The determination of whether a subject is at risk for developing aHUS comprises determining whether the subject has a genetic predisposition to developing aHUS, which may be carried out by assessing genetic information (e.g. from a database containing the genotype of the subject), or performing at least one genetic screening test on the subject to determine the presence or absence of a genetic marker associated with aHUS (i.e., determining the presence or absence of a genetic mutation associated with aHUS in the genes encoding complement factor H (CFH), factor I (CFI), factor B (CFB), membrane cofactor CD46, C3, complement factor H-related protein 1 (CFHR1), or THBD (encoding the anticoagulant protein thrombodulin) or complement factor H-related protein 3 (CFHR3), or complement factor H-related protein 4 (CFHR4)) either via genome sequencing or gene-specific analysis (e.g., PCR analysis), and/or determining whether the subject has a family history of aHUS. Methods of genetic screening for the presence or absence of a genetic mutation associated with aHUS are well established, for example, see Noris M et al. “Atypical Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome,” 2007 Nov. 16 [Updated 2011 Mar. 10]. In: Pagon R A, Bird T D, Dolan C R, et al., editors. GeneReviews™, Seattle (WA): University of Washington, Seattle.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated TMA (HSCT-TMA) is a life-threatening complication that is triggered by endothelial injury. The kidney is the most commonly affected organ, though HSCT-TMA can be a multi-system disease that also involves the lung, bowel, heart, and brain. The occurrence of even mild TMA is associated with long-term renal impairment. Development of post-allogeneic HSCT-associated TMA differs in frequency based on varying diagnostic criteria and conditioning and graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis regimens, with calcineurin inhibitors being the most frequent drugs implicated (Ho V T et al., Biol Blood Marrow Transplant, 11(8):571-5, 2005).
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune kidney disease resulting in intrarenal inflammation and kidney injury. IgAN is the most common primary glomerular disease globally. With an annual incidence of approximately 2.5 per 100,000, it is estimated that 1 in 1400 persons in the U.S. will develop IgAN. As many as 40% of patients with IgAN will develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients typically present with microscopic hematuria with mild to moderate proteinuria and variable levels of renal insufficiency (Wyatt R. J., et al., N Engl J Med 36S(25):2402-4, 2013). Clinical markers such as impaired kidney function, sustained hypertension, and heavy proteinuria (over 1 g per day) are associated with poor prognosis (Goto M et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant 24(10):3068-74, 2009; Berthoux F. et al., J Am Soc Nephrol 22(4):752-61, 2011). Proteinuria is the strongest prognostic factor independent of other risk factors in multiple large observational studies and prospective trials (Coppo R. et al., J Nephrol 18(5):503-12, 2005; Reich H. N., et al., J Am Soc Nephrol 18(12):3177-83, 2007). It is estimated that 15-20% of patients reach ESRD within 10 years of disease onset if left untreated (D'Amico G., Am J Kidney Dis 36(2):227-37, 2000). The diagnostic hallmark of IgAN is the predominance of IgA deposits, alone or with IgG, IgM, or both, in the glomerular mesangium.
A main complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is nephritis, also known as lupus nephritis, which is classified as a secondary form of glomerulonephritis. Up to 60% of adults with SLE have some form of kidney involvement later in the course of the disease (Koda-Kimble et al., Koda-Kimble and Young's Applied Therapeutics: the clinical use of drugs, 10th Ed, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins: pages 792-9, 2012) with a prevalence of 20-70 per 100,000 people in the U.S. Lupus nephritis often presents in patients with other symptoms of active SLE, including fatigue, fever, rash, arthritis, serositis, or central nervous system disease (Pisetsky D. S. et al., Med Clin North Am 81(1): 113-28, 1997). Some patients have asymptomatic lupus nephritis; however, during regular follow-up, laboratory abnormalities such as elevated serum creatinine levels, low albumin levels, or urinary protein or sediment suggest active lupus nephritis.
The compounds as described herein (e.g., a compound of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) can be administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation, and in such amount as will be effective or suitable for treatment. The quantity to be administered depends on a variety of factors including, e.g., the age, body weight, physical activity, and diet of the individual, and the desired effect. In certain embodiments, the size of the dose may also be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects that accompany the administration of the compound in a particular individual.
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level and frequency of dosage for any particular patient may be varied by a physician 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 age, body weight, hereditary characteristics, general health, sex, diet, mode and time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity of the particular condition, and the host undergoing therapy.
In certain embodiments, the dose may take the form of solid, semi-solid, or liquid forms, preferably in unit dosage forms suitable for simple administration of precise dosages.
As used herein, the term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for humans and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of an active agent calculated to produce the desired onset, tolerability, and/or efficacious effects, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient (e.g., an ampoule). In addition, more concentrated dosage forms may be prepared, from which the more dilute unit dosage forms may then be produced.
The compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) can be administered to a subject in need of treatment using methods known in the art, such as by oral administration or by injection. The injection can be, e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular. As described herein, parenteral formulations can be prepared in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. As used herein the term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present application comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure ((e.g., a compound of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipient. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a non-toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid filler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. The pharmaceutical compositions of this application can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracistemally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), buccally, or as an oral or nasal spray.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, com, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
Injectable preparations include, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.
In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.
The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents.
Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound as disclosed in the foregoing embodiments (e.g., a compound of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, or patches. For example, the active component may be ad-mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required.
Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.
According to the methods of treatment of the present disclosure, disorders are treated or prevented in a subject, such as a human or other animal, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound according to any one of the foregoing embodiments, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. As is well understood in the medical arts a therapeutically effective amount of a compound will be at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment.
In general, compounds (e.g., compounds of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) will be administered in therapeutically effective amounts via any of the usual and acceptable modes known in the art, either singly or in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents. A therapeutically effective amount may vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used and other factors.
In general, satisfactory results are indicated to be obtained systemically at daily dosages of from about 0.03 to 2.5 mg/kg per body weight. An indicated daily dosage in the larger mammal, e.g., humans, is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 250 mg, about 5 mg to about 150 mg, about 5 mg to about 100 mg, about 10 mg to about 75 mg, about 10 mg to about 50 mg, such as 10, 20, 30, 40, or about 50 mg, conveniently administered, e.g., in divided doses up to four times a day or in retard form. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise from ca. 1 to 60 mg active ingredient.
In certain embodiments, a therapeutic amount or dose of the compound (e.g., compounds of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) may range from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg, alternatively from about 1 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg. In general, treatment regimens according to the present application comprise administration to a patient in need of such treatment from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound(s) per day in single or multiple doses. Therapeutic amounts or doses will also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the possibility of co-usage with other agents.
Upon improvement of a subject's condition, a maintenance dose of a compound, composition or combination of this application may be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained when the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, treatment should cease. The subject may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.
It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds (e.g., compounds of Structure (I), (II) or (III)) and compositions thereof will be decided by an attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific inhibitory dose for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

After 1 h stirring, benzyl ((4-(aminomethyl)phenyl)(imino)methyl)carbamate hydrochloride (120 mg, 0.38 mmol, 1 eq.) suspended in saturated sodium bicarbonate (3.8 mL, 0.1 M) was added to the solution. The mixture was allowed to stir for another hour, after which, the layers were partitioned and the organic was run through a 0.45 micron filter and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified on a silica column using EtOAc/Heptane to yield tert-butyl (2S,4R)-2-((4-(N-((benzyloxy)carbonyl)carbamimidoyl)benzyl)carbamoyl)-4-cyanopyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (180 mg, 95%) as an off-white film.

Step 1: To di-tert-butyl (2S,4R)-4-hydroxypyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (500 mg, 1.7 mmol, 1 eq.) and triethylamine (840 μL, 6 mmol, 3 eq.) in dichloromethane (8 mL, 0.25M), was added DMAP (24 mg, 0.2 mmol, 0.1 eq.) followed by tosyl chloride (460 mg, 2.4 mmol, 1.2 eq.). After 16 h stirring, the mixture was further diluted with dichloromethane, washed twice with 1N HCl, followed by 1N NaOH 2 times then by brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated under vacuum and the resulting residue purified on a silica column using EtOAc/Heptane to yield di-tert-butyl (2S,4R)-4-(tosyloxy)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (690 mg, 90%) as a white solid.
Step 2: A mixture consisting of di-tert-butyl (2S,4R)-4-(tosyloxy)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (100 mg, 0.23 mmol, 1 eq.), 1H-pyrazole (30 mg, 0.46 mmol, 2 eq.) and cesium carbonate (98 mg, 0.3 mmol, 1.5 eq.) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL, 0.2M) was sealed and heated to 60° C. After stirring for 16 h, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated ammonium chloride. The organic layer was further washed with water followed by brine then dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified on a silica column using EtOAc/Heptane to yield di-tert-butyl (2S)-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrrolidine-1,2-dicarboxylate (41.1 mg, 53%) as a white solid.

The resulting ppt collected via vacuum filtration and washed with hexanes. To the product of saponification, (2S)-1-((R)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-4-phenylbutanoyl)-4-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (0.07 mmol), benzyl ((4-(aminomethyl)phenyl)(imino)methyl)carbamate hydrochloride (29 mg, 0.09 mmol), was added DIEA (50 μL, 0.28 mmol) and DMF (540 μL). After cooling the reaction mixture to 0° C., HBTU (35 mg, 0.12 mmol) was added in a single portion and the reaction was left to stir at RT until completion.

In some embodiments, the compound is a compound in Table 1.
The MASP-2 assay utilizes a fluorogenic substrate, based on the cleavage site for its natural substrate C2. The assay is run at room temperature in an assay buffer containing 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl and 0.1% Tween 20. Assay parameters are adjusted such that the assay is linear with respect to time, enzyme, and substrate concentrations. Under these optimized assays conditions, IC50 values are equivalent to Ki values, except in a few cases of “tight binding” inhibitors. Cases of “tight binding” or possible “slow binding” inhibitors are handled by the methods described in Copeland R. A. (2013) Evaluation of Enzyme Inhibitors in Drug Discovery. 2nd Ed., John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Chapters 5-7.
The MASP-2 assay protocol is carried out as follows. Test compounds are serially diluted in DMSO and then 100 nL of each dilution is transferred to the assay plate(s). 10 μL of Assay Buffer is added, followed by 15 μL of Enzyme MASP-2 (CCP1-CCP2-SP) in Assay Buffer. 15 μL of Substrate in Assay Buffer is then added and mixed to start the reactions. After 20 min at room temperature, 15 μL of a stop solution (0.1 M acetic acid) is added, mixed and the plates are read on a SpectraMax i3x Microplate Reader and exported as Excel files. Each assay plate included a “no inhibitor” (DMSO Only) control, a “no enzyme” control and a reference inhibitor control. % Activity values=100*(average test comp. fluorescence−average “no enzyme” fluorescence)/(average “DMSO only” fluorescence−average “no enzyme” fluorescence). IC50 and Ki values are very reproducible, falling well within ±2-fold.
The results of biological assays for the compounds listed in Table 1 are listed in Table 2, below.
