FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The disclosure provides synthetic compositions useful as inhibitors of mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), including compositions that selectively inhibit MASP-2 over thrombin, as well as methods for the manufacture and use thereof.


BACKGROUND

The complement system plays a role in the inflammatory response and becomes activated upon tissue damage or microbial infection. Complement activation must be tightly regulated to ensure selective targeting of invading microorganisms and to avoid self-inflicted damage (Ricklin et al., Nat. Immunol. 11:785-797, 2010).


Currently, it is widely accepted that the complement system is 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 response. In contrast, both the lectin and alternative pathways are independent of adaptive immunity, and are instead part of the innate immune system response.


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).


Inhibition of MASP-2 appears to not interfere with the antibody-dependent classical complement activation pathway. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,011,860 (assigned to Omeros Corporation), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, 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.


MASP-2-dependent complement activation has been implicated as contributing to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic disease states, including certain conditions caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) infection.


Therefore, a need exists for compounds suitable for administration and treatment of subjects suffering from MASP-2-associated diseases and disorders, including diseases that are not suitably or efficiently treated with large molecule biologic inhibitors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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.


I. Definitions

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 +5% 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 “essentially” refers to completely or nearly completely. For example, an essentially pure composition is a composition which is about 100% pure, at least about 99% pure, at least about 98% pure, or at least about 97% pure.


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 “MASP-2” refers to mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2. For example, human MASP-2 protein can have 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.


Typically, the active site of serine proteases, such as MASP-2, is shaped as a cleft where the substrate or inhibitor binds.


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 (e.g., H-ficolin, M-ficolin, or L-ficolin).


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; 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.


As used herein, the terms “disease,” “condition,” and “disorder” may be used interchangeably or may be different in that the particular malady, condition, disorder, or syndrome 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, disorder, or syndrome, or is a disruption of normal processes or functions, wherein a more or less specific set of symptoms has been identified by a clinician or researcher. 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” or “effective amount” refers to the amount of a compound of the disclosure that, when administered to a mammal (e.g., a human), is sufficient to effect treatment as defined herein, reduction in symptoms, or cure, 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, weight, and genetics 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 “agent” refers to a compound or mixture of compounds that, when added to a composition, tends 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 or 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, including all linear and branched compositions (e.g., n-butyl, sec-butyl, and tert-butyl for C4 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” means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced with a non-hydrogen substituent. Additionally, a compound can be substituted with a hydrogen, and hydrogen can be a substituent. 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. 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. A single divalent substituent, e.g., oxo, can replace two hydrogen atoms.


The phrase “optionally substituted” means substituted or unsubstituted.


The terms “Cn-m” and “Cn-Cm,” where n and m are integers, indicates a group that contains from n to m carbon atoms, includes both linear and branched configurations, and does not exclude substituents. 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 wherein 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 group 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, and which is attached to the molecule by a single bond. The alkyl group may optionally contain one or more heteroatoms, wherein a carbon atom of the alkyl group is replaced with a heteroatom selected from oxygen, nitrogen or sulfur. An alkyl group is an alkane with one C—H bond replaced by the point of attachment of the alkyl group to the remainder of the molecule. Alkyl groups can be linear or branched. For example, representative alkyl groups can be methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, 1-methylethyl (iso-propyl), n-butyl, 1,1-dimethylethyl (t-butyl), sec-butyl, isobutyl, n-pentyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2-methylhexyl, and the like.

“Heteroarylalkyl” refers to a group of the formula —R100R101 where R100 is an alkylene as defined herein, and R101 is a heteroaryl as defined herein. When specifically stated in the specification, the heteroaryl moiety of the heteroarylalkyl may be optionally substituted as defined herein. In some embodiments, the alkylene moiety of the heteroarylalkyl may be optionally substituted as defined herein.


The compounds and methods of the present disclosure are intended to encompass all pharmaceutically acceptable isotopically labelled compounds of Structure (I), 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, 15, 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 Structure (I), 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 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 some embodiments, the compounds of the disclosure 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 deuterium-enriched starting materials.


Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as 11C, 18F, 15O, and 13N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically labeled compounds of Structure (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art, or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent.


“Substituted” refers to a group in which one or more hydrogens are optionally replaced by a non-hydrogen group to the extent that such substitution is chemically possible. Typical substituents include, but are not limited to, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), ═O, ═N—CN, ═N—OR, ═NR, OR, NR2, SiR3, SR, SO2R, SO2NR2, NRSO2R, NRCONR2, NRC(O)OR, NRC(O)R, CN, C(O)OR, C(O)NR2, OC(O)R, C(O)R, and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C8 heteroalkyl, C1-C6 acyl, C2-C8 heteroacyl, C2-C8 alkenyl, C2-C8 heteroalkenyl, C2-C8 alkynyl, C2-C8 heteroalkynyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C5-C10 heteroaryl, and each R is optionally substituted with halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), ═O, ═N—CN, ═N—OR′, ═NR′, OR′, NR′2, SiR′3, SR′, SO2R′, SO2NR′2, NR′SO2R′, NR′CONR′2, NR′C(O)OR′, NR′C(O)R′, CN, C(O)OR′, C(O)NR′2, OC(O)R′, C(O)R′, and NO2, wherein each R′ is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C8 heteroalkyl, C1-C8 acyl, C2-C8 heteroacyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C5-C10 heteroaryl. Alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl groups can also be substituted by C1-C6 acyl, C2-C8 heteroacyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C5-C10 heteroaryl, each of which can be substituted by substituents appropriate for the particular group. The substituents on an aryl or heteroaryl group can be further substituted with the suitable groups described herein. Thus, for example, an arylalkyl substituent may be substituted on the aryl moiety with substituents described herein for aryl groups. An arylalkyl substituent may alternatively be substituted on the alkyl moiety with substituents described herein for alkyl groups. An arylalkyl substituent may also be substituted on both the alkyl and aryl moieties.


“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 said event or circumstance does not occur. For example, “optionally substituted aryl” or “substituted or unsubstituted aryl” means that the aryl may or may not be substituted, and that the description includes both substituted aryl groups and aryl groups lacking 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. Such iterations are preferably limited to two.


“Optionally substituted,” as used herein, indicates that the particular group being described may have one, or more than one, hydrogen atoms replaced by a non-hydrogen group. In some optionally substituted groups, one hydrogen atom is replaced by a non-hydrogen group, e.g., C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 heteroalkyl, alkynyl, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), N3, OR, NR2, SiR3, SR, SO2R, SO2NR2, NRSO2R, NRCONR2, NRC(O)OR, NRC(O)R, CN, C(O)OR, C(O)NR2, OC(O)R, C(O)R, oxo, and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, 2-6-membered heteroalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, 5-9-membered heteroaryl, or as otherwise disclosed herein. In some optionally substituted groups, more than one hydrogen atom is replaced by one or more of the same or different non-hydrogen substituent, e.g., C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 heteroalkyl, alkynyl, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), N3, OR, NR2, SiR3, SR, SO2R, SO2NR2, NRSO2R, NRCONR2, NRC(O)OR, NRC(O)R, CN, C(O)OR, C(O)NR2, OC(O)R, C(O)R, oxo, and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, 2-6-membered heteroalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, 5-9-membered heteroaryl, or as otherwise disclosed herein. In some optionally substituted groups, all hydrogen atoms are replaced by the same or different non-hydrogen substituents, e.g., C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 heteroalkyl, alkynyl, halogens (F, Cl, Br, I), N3, OR, NR2, SiR3, SR, SO2R, SO2NR2, NRSO2R, NRCONR2, NRC(O)OR, NRC(O)R, CN, C(O)OR, C(O)NR2, OC(O)R, C(O)R, oxo, and NO2, wherein each R is independently H, C1-C6 alkyl, 2-6-membered heteroalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, 5-9-membered heteroaryl, or as otherwise disclosed herein. In some optionally substituted groups, one hydrogen atom, more than one hydrogen atom, or all hydrogen atoms, are replaced by a deuterium atom. Where an optional substituent is attached via a double bond, such as a carbonyl oxygen or oxo (═O), the substituent group takes up two available valence positions, so the total number of substituents that may be included is reduced according to the number of available valence positions.


“Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,” or “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier 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, pH adjusting agent, hydrogel, salt, inert solid, printed solid, or emulsifier, which has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as being acceptable for use in humans or domestic animals.

These salts are prepared from addition of an inorganic base or an organic base to the free acid. Salts derived from inorganic bases include, but are not limited to, the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum salts, and the like.

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 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:

    • (a) preventing the disease or condition from occurring in a mammal, in particular, when such mammal is predisposed to the condition but has not yet been diagnosed as having it;
    • (b) inhibiting the disease or condition, i.e., arresting the disease or condition development;
    • (c) relieving (or ameliorating) the disease or condition, i.e., causing regression of the disease or condition; or
    • (d) relieving (or ameliorating) the symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, e.g., without addressing the underlying disease or condition.


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. The present disclosure 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. The present disclosure includes diastereomers, which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable non-mirror images of one another.


The present disclosure includes an essentially pure enantiomer or diastereomer. The present disclosure includes mixtures of enantiomers, diastereomers, or a combination thereof. The mixture can be a racemic mixture, as known to one having skill in the art, as a 50/50 mixture of enantiomers. The mixture can also include a mixture of any other ratio or relative composition of enantiomers, diastereomers, or a combination thereof.


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, all combinations of such isomers, a racemic mixture, 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 or fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers or diastereomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor, or resolution of the mixture (e.g., racemate or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).


When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers 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 “tautomer” refers to a constitutional isomer wherein a proton can shift from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule (e.g., keto-enol). 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 (e.g., —C(O)— represents a carbonyl). 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 brackets.


The chemical naming protocol and structure diagrams used herein are a modified form of the I.U.P.A.C. nomenclature system, using ChemDraw Professional Version 21.0.0 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 a 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 the groups may be 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 an alkyl group (e.g., four different alkyl groups, or four of the same 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.


Compounds, and salts thereof, can additionally include more than one salt form. For example, the salt of a compound having two basic groups can include e.g., two trifluoroacetic acid salts, or one trifluoroacetic acid salt and one hydrochloride salt.

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, leads to organ damage.


The lectin pathway plays a dominant role in activating complement under conditions of endothelial cell stress or injury, and prevents the activation of MASP-2. The lectin pathway halts the sequence of enzymatic reactions that leads 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, wherein prothrombin is cleaved 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].

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). Treatment with the MASP-2 inhibitory antibody narsoplimab is being investigated in clinical trials of lectin pathway-mediated conditions where MASP-2 is believed to play a key role in pathophysiology. In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (HSCT-TMA), plasma MASP-2 levels are elevated versus healthy controls, and narsoplimab has been shown to reduce HSCT-TMA plasma-mediated endothelial damage in a tissue culture model (Elhadad S, et al., MASP2 levels are elevated in thrombotic microangiopathies: association with microvascular endothelial cell injury and suppression by anti-MASP2 antibody narsoplimab. Clin Exp Immunol (2021) 203(1):96-104). In a pivotal clinical trial for HSCT-TMA, once-weekly narsoplimab treatment resulted in 61% response rate based on improvement in laboratory TMA markers and clinical benefit, indicating clinically relevant resolution of HSCT-TMA pathophysiology (Khaled S K, et al.. Narsoplimab, a mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 inhibitor, for the treatment of adult hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation-associated thrombotic microangiopathy. J Clin Oncol (2022) 40(22):2447-57).


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 subjects with IgAN will develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Subjects 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 subjects 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. In a Phase 2 clinical trial for severe IgA nephropathy, once-weekly narsoplimab treatment was well tolerated; after 3 years of follow-up, the annualized rate of kidney function decline was slowed in narsoplimab-treated patients versus a matched external comparator group (5.2 vs 8.6 mL/min/yr, respectively) and urine protein excretion decreased by 38% from baseline in narsoplimab-treated patients (Lafayette R A, et al, Safety, tolerability and efficacy of narsoplimab, a novel MASP-2 inhibitor for the treatment of IgA nephropathy. Kidney Int Rep (2020) 5(11):2032-41; Lafayette R A, et al., Long-term phase 2 efficacy of the MASP-2 inhibitor narsoplimab for treatment of severe IgA nephropathy [abstract]. J Am Soc Nephrol (2021) 32(Suppl):B10). Based on this evidence, narsoplimab appears to be beneficial in the treatment of lectin pathway-mediated diseases.


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 subjects 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 subjects 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.


Deficiency or blockade of MASP-2 in experimental models has also been shown to have beneficial effects in ischemic reperfusion injury (see e.g., Schwaeble W J, et al. Targeting of mannan binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 confers protection from myocardial and gastrointestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (2011) 108(18):7523-8; Clark J E, et al., Cardioprotection by an anti-MASP-2 antibody in a murine model of myocardial infarction.

FASEB J (2014) 28(9):3996-4003); myocardial infarction (see e.g., Clark J E, et al., Cardioprotection by an anti-MASP-2 antibody in a murine model of myocardial infarction. Open Heart (2018) 5(1):e000652); stroke (see e.g., Orsini F, et al., Mannan binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) critically contributes to post-ischemic brain injury independent of MASP-1. J Neuroinflammation (2016) 13(1):213); transplantation (see e.g., Asgari E, et al., Mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease 2 is critical for the development of renal ischemia reperfusion injury and mediates tissue injury in the absence of complement C4.

Clin Exp Immunol (2021) 203(1):96-104); and sickle cell disease (see e.g., Belcher J D et al., MASP-2 and MASP-3 inhibitors block complement activation, inflammation, and microvascular stasis in a murine model of vaso-occlusion in sickle cell disease. Transl Res (2022) 249:1-12).


Methods of Inhibiting the Activation of Microglial Cells for the Prevention or Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases


Microglial cells are brain-resident macrophages that play a vital role in the differentiation and maturation of neuronal cells by controlling the process of axonal pruning and by maintaining the homeostasis of central nervous system (CNS) tissue through the removal of apoptotic and injured cells and cellular debris (Parkhurst C N, et al., Microglia promote learning-dependent synapse formation through brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Cell 2013; 155:1596-609), clearance of pathogens, tissue repair, and the release of cytokines and chemokines to attract peripheral immune cells to the infected or injured brain tissue (Fetler L, Neuroscience AS. Brain under surveillance: the microglia patrol. Science 2005; 309:392-3).


During homeostasis, microglia use their ramified processes to survey the microenvironment in real time for potential signals that warrant further action. Mature microglia in the postnatal brain use a wide range of surface molecules to respond quickly to their extracellular environment, including cytokines, chemokines, purines, hormones, and neurotransmitters (Tay, T. L., et al., Microglia across the lifespan: from origin to function in brain development, plasticity and cognition. J. Physiol. 595, 1929-1945 (2017). Microglial activation is tightly regulated through receptor-ligand interactions (Hanisch, U. K. & Kettenmann, H. Microglia: active sensor and versatile effector cells in the normal and pathologic brain Nat. Neurosci. 10, 1387-1394 (2007). In the adult brain, microglia display remarkable efficiency in clearing dead cells and excess cellular material, and microglial phagocytosis shapes adult hippocampal neurogenesis (Sierra, A. et al. Microglia shape adult hippocampal neurogenesis through apoptosis-coupled phagocytosis. Cell Stem Cell 7, 483-495 (2010). A rising number of studies have shown microglial roles in synapse formation, pruning and elimination, and regulation of synaptic function. Synapse elimination occurs during normal brain development, which involves the removal of unnecessary excitatory and inhibitory synaptic connections (Liu, Y. J. et al. Microglia elimination increases neural circuit connectivity and activity in adult mouse cortex. J. Neurosci 41, 1274-1287 (2021). This elimination process is vital for the formation of mature and efficient neuronal circuits during normal brain development (Paolicelli, R. C. et al. Synaptic pruning by microglia is necessary for normal brain development. Science 333, 1456-1458 (2011). Complement cascade proteins, broadly expressed in the developing brain, localize to specific subsets of immature synapses and mediate their elimination (Stevens, B. et al. The classical complement cascade mediates CNS synapse elimination. Cell 131, 1164-1178 (2007). Microglia phagocytose complement-tagged synapses through the complement receptor (C3R) pathway, which is crucial for accurate synaptic connection. Importantly, interruption of this pruning mechanism causes long-lasting damage to brain circuitry and synaptic connections (Stevens, B. et al. The classical complement cascade mediates CNS synapse elimination. Cell 131, 1164-1178 (2007).


Microglia respond to CNS injuries and diseases with complex reactions, commonly called activation. Importantly, microglial activation occurs during brain injuries and is associated with neuroinflammation and lesion expansion. It is also a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, fronto-temporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, cortico-basal degeneration, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies (Lewy body dementia) and Huntington's disease. Dysregulation of synaptic elimination is involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (Koffie, R. M., Hyman, B. T. & Spires-Jones, T. L. Alzheimer's disease: synapses gone cold. Mol. Neurodegener. 6, 63 (2011). Synaptic loss precedes neuronal loss and is considered a more accurate indicator of cognitive decline in AD (DeTure, M. A & Dickson, D. W. The neuropathological diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Mol. Neurodegener. 14, 32 (2019). In neurodegenerative diseases, reactive microglia found near protein aggregates such as Aβ plaques are involved in synapse loss and neuronal damage. Eliminating microglia or attenuating microglial activation in neurodegenerative diseases restored spine number and synaptic integrity and improved functional outcomes (Wilton, D. K., Dissing-Olesen, L. & Stevens, B. Neuron-glia signaling in synapse elimination. Annu Rev. Neurosci. 42, 107-127 (2019). Further, it is generally recognized that microglia activation plays a contributory role and/or initiates the neurodegenerative process (Harry G J Microglia in Neurodegenerative Events—An Initiator or a Significant Other? International Journal of Molecular Sciences. 2021; 22(11): 5818).


Microglia constitutively express complement receptors. It has been demonstrated that in the case of SARS-COV-2-induced brain inflammation, inhibition of MASP-2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement, alleviates microglial activation and brain inflammation markers (Youssif M Ali, et al., Inhibition of the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation Reduces Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Severity in a Mouse Model of SARS-COV-2 Infection, The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023). Therefore, lectin pathway hyperactivation is thought to be involved in initiation of brain inflammation, including in various cases of neurodegenerative diseases, and MASP-2 inhibitors may prove useful in the treatment or prevention of such diseases.


The lectin pathway also has been shown to contribute critically to the post-traumatic inflammatory pathology following traumatic brain injury (TBI) with the highest degree of protection achieved through the absence of MASP-2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway, underscoring the potential therapeutic utility of therapeutics targeting MASP-2 in TBI (Mercurio D, et al., Targeted deletions of complement lectin pathway genes improve outcome in traumatic brain injury, with MASP-2 playing a major role. Acta Neuropathol Commm. 2020 Oct. 28; 8(1): 174).

VI. Compositions, Dosage, and Administration

The compounds as described herein (e.g., a compound of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof) can be administered in a manner compatible with the dosage formulation, and in such amount as will be effective or suitable for prevention or 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 subject 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, liquid, or gas forms. In certain embodiments, the unit dosage form is suitable for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.


As used herein, the term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for humans and other mammals, suited as unitary dosages for the subject to be treated, with each unit containing a predetermined quantity of an active agent calculated to produce the desired onset, tolerability, efficacious and/or therapeutic 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 Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof) can be administered to a subject in need of prevention or 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 a unit dosage form.


The pharmaceutical compositions of the present application comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure (e.g., a compound of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof) 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.


To prolong the effect of a compound of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof, it can be desirable to slow the absorption of the compound 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, for example, crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound 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 herein (e.g., a compound of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof) 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 of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof, according to any one of the foregoing embodiments, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result.

In general, treatment regimens according to the present application comprise administration to a subject 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 disclosure 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, or treatment may 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., a compound of Structures (I), (I-A), (I-B), (I-C), (I-D), (I-E), (II), (II-A), (II-B), (II-C), (II-D), (III), (III-A), (III-B), and (III-C), or a stereoisomer, tautomer, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and embodiments thereof), will be decided by an attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment.

Step 1: To a solution of (S)-3-((3-(difluoromethyl)benzyl)amino)-4-oxo-4,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid, 1.5 trifluoroacetic acid (prepared according to steps 1-2 of Example 30, 106 mg, 0.236 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) was added HATU (215 mg, 0.56 mmol), Et3N (96 mg, 0.94 mmol), and 5-(aminomethyl)-6-methylpyridin-2-amine (84 mg, 0.61 mmol.) The solution was stirred for 16 h at room temp then evaporated to dryness. Purification using chromatography (6% MeOH—NH3/CH2Cl2) gave (S)—N-((6-amino-2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methyl)-3-((3-(difluoromethyl)benzyl)amino)-4-oxo-4,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxamide (54 mg, 50% yield) as a pale-yellow solid.

Example 40
Enzymatic Assay for MASP-2 Inhibitory Activity

The MASP-2 assay utilizes a fluorogenic substrate, based on the cleavage site for its natural substrate C2. The assay was 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 were adjusted such that the assay was linear with respect to time, enzyme, and substrate concentrations. Under the optimized assays conditions, IC50 values were equivalent to Ki values, except in the few cases of “tight binding” inhibitors. Cases of “tight binding” or possible “slow binding” inhibitors were 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 was carried out as follows. Test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO and then 100 nL of each dilution was transferred to the assay plate(s). 10 μL of Assay Buffer was added, followed by 15 μL of Enzyme MASP-2 (CCP1-CCP2-SP) in Assay Buffer. 15 μL of Substrate in Assay Buffer was then added and the mixture was mixed to start the reaction. After 20 min at room temperature, 15 μL of a stop solution (0.1 M acetic acid) was added, the sample was mixed, and the plates were read on a SpectraMax i3× Microplate Reader with the data exported as an Excel file. 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 replicate values were very reproducible, with values well within +2-fold.


The biological assay results for the compounds listed in Table 1 are shown in Table 3 below. The biological assay results for the compounds listed in Table 2 are shown in Table 4 below.


Example 41
Enzymatic Assay for Thrombin

The thrombin assay utilizes a fluorogenic peptide substrate (Boc-VPR-AMC (R&D Systems) and was 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 were adjusted such that the assay was linear with respect to time, enzyme, and substrate concentrations. Under these optimized assays conditions, IC50 values were equivalent to Ki values, except in a few cases of “tight binding” inhibitors. Cases of “tight binding” or possible “slow binding” inhibitors were 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 thrombin assay protocol was carried out as follows. Test compounds were serially diluted in DMSO and then 100 nL of each dilution was transferred to the assay plate(s). 10 μL of Assay Buffer was added, followed by 15 μL of enzyme (human a-thrombin (BioPharm® Lab.)) in assay buffer. 15 μL of substrate in assay buffer was then added and the sample mixed to start the reaction. After 20 min at room temperature, 15 μL of a stop solution (0.1 M acetic acid) was added, the sample was mixed, and the plates were read on a SpectraMax® i3× Microplate Reader with the data 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*(ave. test comp. fluorescence−ave. “no enz” fluorescence)/(ave. “DMSO only” fluorescence−ave. “no enz” fluorescence). IC50 and Ki values were very reproducible, with values falling well within +2-fold.


The biological assay results for the compounds listed in Table 1 are shown in Table 3 below. The biological assay results for the compounds listed in Table 2 are shown in Table 4 below.


Example 42
Lectin Pathway Activation (LPA) Assay in Human Serum Treated with Small Compounds

A Microtiter ELISA plate (Nunc-Maxi Sorp; Sigma-Aldrich®, USA) was coated with mannan sourced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sigma-Aldrich®, USA) in a coating buffer comprising 33.3 mM Na2CO3 and 166.67 mM NaHCO3. The plates were incubated at room temperature overnight. Subsequently, the plates were blocked with a 5% bovine serum albumin solution (Sigma-Aldrich®, USA) prepared in PBST for 2 hours at room temperature with agitation. Varying concentrations of MASP-2 inhibitors were dispensed onto the empty plate.


To perform the assay, pooled human serum was diluted to 1% in a solution of 20 mM HEPES (pH=7.4), 140 mM NaCl, and 1 mM MgCl2. Then, 40 μl of the diluted human serum was dispensed into each well of the Microtiter ELISA plate and incubated for 55 minutes at room temperature. The C4 deposition on the mannan-coated surface was stopped using an EDTA stop solution (20 mM HEPES, pH=7.4, 140 mM NaCl, and 150 mM EDTA). Subsequently, rabbit anti-Human C4c antibody (Agilent Technologies, USA) prepared in PBST was added, and the plates were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes with agitation, then washed with PBST, and Goat anti-rabbit IgG(H+L) HRP-conjugated (Southern Biotech®, USA) was added. The plates were again incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes with agitation, and then were washed with PBST. Following this, the Amplex® UltraRed® (Thermo Fischer Sci, USA) substrate solution was added for 16 minutes, followed by the addition of the Amplex® UltraRed® stop solution. The plates' fluorescence was measured using an i3× microplate reader (Molecular Devices, USA) with excitation at 550 nm and emission at 580 nm. The raw data generated from the plate reader was exported to GraphPad Prism® (version 10.0.3), and the non-linear regression curve was generated using the 4-parameter logistic fit equation. All data are reported as pIC50 with a 95% confidence interval. Data for select exemplary compounds is shown in Table 5.
