Abstract
Described herein are methods of treating or preventing an ASK1 or DYRK1A associated disease, disorder, or condition comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a dual inhibitor of ASK1 and DYRK1A; including administering pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, which affects 5.5 million people in the U.S. and 40 million worldwide. At present, there is no curative therapy for AD. Alzheimer's disease is complex and can be considered a disease of four major pathological processes. The four processes are: 1) vascular hypoperfusion of the brain associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, 2) destructive protein inclusion, 3) uncontrolled oxidative stress, and 4) pro-inflammatory immune process secondary to microglial and astrocytic dysfunction in the brain. The complexity of AD and other neurodegenerative disorders dictates that a polypharmacological approach is most likely to achieve the greatest impact in treating AD. Two enzymes, ASK1 and DYRK1A have been implicated in all four of the pathological processes associated with AD. Therefore dual inhibitors of ASK1 and DYRK1A show promise as a therapeutic treatments for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In one aspect described herein are methods for the treatment or prevention of an ASK1 or DYRK1A associated condition, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of a dual inhibitor of ASK1 and DYRK1A.


In some embodiments, the dual inhibitor of ASK1 and DYRK1A is a compound having the structure of Formula (IV), or a pharmaceutically acceutable salt or solvate thereof:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), a ubiquitously expressed 1375 amino acid serine/threonine-selective kinase, is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) family.


The MAPK pathway is one of the intracellular signaling systems that regulate essential cellular functions, such as proliferation, motility, differentiation, stress response and apoptosis. Each MAPK pathway consists of three classes of protein kinases: MAPK kinase (MAP3K), MAPK kinase (MAP2K), and MAPK. MAP3K phosphorylates and thereby activates MAP2K, and activated MAP2K, in turn, phosphorylates and activates MAPK. Activated MAPK then translocate to the cell nucleus and regulates the activities of transcription factors to control gene expression.


Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a membrane-proximal MAP3K (MAP-kinase-kinase-kinase) upstream of pathways which play important roles in the cellular response to environmental stresses (e.g. the c-Jun and p38 pathways, which are known to be responsive to UV and oxidative damage). A positive regulator of mitochondrial apoptosis, ASK1 is tightly regulated and activated by cellular damage signals as diverse as receptor-acting inflammatory cytokines (e.g. TNFa and LPS), calcium and intracellular sensors (e.g. the redox sensor thioredoxin, and the ER-stress-responsive IRE1). The activation of ASK1 also leads to abnormal phosphorylation of tau which causes extracellular deposition of senile plaques composed of beta-amyloid (Abeta) and the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFT).


Dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase-1A (DYRK1A) is a member of the DYRK family. DYRK1A catalyzes autophosphorylation on serine/threonine and tyrosine resides.


The gene for DYRK1A is located within the Down syndrome critical region on human chromosome 21. DYRK1A is up-regulated during the early stages of embryonic development. Mice hemizygous for DYRK1A, show significant phenotypic effects including decreased neonatal viability, a reduced number of neurons, alternations in motor development and function, and impairment in the development of learning strategies. The diversity of phenotypes resulting from differential DYRK1A gene dosage suggests that DYRK1A activity is tightly regulated during the neuronal development processes. Moreover, lack of DYRK1A activity is associated with mental retardation and poor cognitive function.


DYRK1A targets a multitude of exogenous protein substrates, including transcription factors, splicing factors, cytoskeletal targets and synaptic proteins. DYRK1A phosphorylates the intracellular domain of the Notch receptor, regulating Notch-dependent biological processes such as angiogenesis, differentiation and transcription. By phosphorylating amyloid precursor protein (APP), tau, presenillinl, Asf, and setin-4 (all proteins involved in either neurofibrillary degeneration or β-amyloidosis), DYRK1A is an important factor in neuronal cell death and thereby is implicated the pathology of cognitive decline.


Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons. Among the pathways strongly impacting the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress, a condition that occurs because of an imbalance in oxidant and antioxidant levels, has been known to play a vital role in the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. One of the molecules activated by oxidative stress is apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), which has been shown to play a role in neurodegenerative disease. ASK1 activation is regulated by multiple steps, including oligomerization, phosphorylation, and protein-protein interactions. In the oxidative stress state, reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce the dissociation of thioredoxin, a protein regulating cellular reduction and oxidation (redox), from the N-terminal region of ASK1, and ASK 1 is subsequently activated by the oligomerization and phosphorylation of a critical threonine residue, leading to cell death. ASK1 is also associated with insulin signal transduction, an important signaling component in cognitive decline. The inhibition of ASK1 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and prevents cognitive decline in the brain. Thus, there is an association between ASK1 and neurodegeneration.


Evidence supports the critical role for DYRK1A in neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Key DYRK1A serine/threonine phosphorylation targets including tau protein, amyloid precursor protein (APP), and presenilin point to clear mechanisms through which elevated DYRK1A activity contributes to AD progression.


Parkinson's disease (PD) is a disorder of the nervous system that results from the loss of cells in various parts of the brain, including in the substantia nigra. The substantia nigra cells produce dopamine, a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals within the brain that allow for coordination and movement. Loss of dopamine causes neurons to fire without normal control, leaving patients less able to direct their movement. In the mitochondrial complex 1 model of MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahyropyridine) model of dopaminergic cell loss, ASK1 deficient mice were shown to be relatively resistant to MPTP lesions. Moreover, MPTP-induced dopamine neuron toxicity and motor impairment was also attenuated in ASK1 knock-out mice.


DYRK1A and ASK1 have been implicated in brain development. Overexpression of DYRK1A has been associated with decreased cognitive development and has been associated with Down syndrome (DS) and autism disorders. ASK1 and DYRK1A show promise as viable targets for a multitude of central nervous system based cognitive disorders and diseases.

As used herein, the term “cognitive impairment” refers to the brain, central nervous system or peripheral nervous system being diminished, weakened, or damaged especially in functions associated with cognition such as, but not limited to, thinking, learning, speaking, memory, coordination, and/or muscle memory and control. Cognitive impairment can be the result of a progressive neurodegenerative process. Cognitive impairment can also result from incomplete and/or aberrant neurodevelopment and/or insufficient development of the central nervous system and the brain.


As used herein, the term “cognitive dysfunction” refers to the brain, central nervous system or peripheral nervous system being diminished, weakened, or damaged especially in functions associated with cognition such as, but not limited to, thinking, learning, speaking, memory, coordination, and/or muscle memory and control. The terms “cognitive dysfunction” and “cognitive impairment” are synonymous.


As used herein, the terms “neurodegeneration” and/or “neurodegenerative disease” refer to a disease or condition involving the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including the death of neurons. Many neurodegenerative diseases—including but not limited to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)—occur as a result of neurodegenerative processes. Such diseases result in progressive degeneration and/or death of neuron cells. Neurodegeneration can be found in many different levels of neuronal circuitry ranging from molecular to systemic.


As used herein, the term “neurodevelopmental disorder” refers to a disorder or condition involving insufficient neuron and/or brain development. This process results from a multitude of causes including but not limited to environmental or genetic factors. Many neurodevelopmental disorders—including but not limited to Down syndrome (DS) and mental retardation—are characterized by poor neuronal development leading to impaired cognition and brain function.


The dual inhibitors described herein can be used in combination with one another or with other active agents or therapies known to be useful in the treatment or prevention of neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease).


The dual inhibitors described herein can be used in combination with one another or with other active agents or therapies known to be useful in the treatment or prevention of neurodevelopmental disorder (e.g. Down syndrome).

All formulations for oral administration are in dosages suitable for such administration.


In one aspect, solid oral dosage forms are prepared by mixing a dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), or (X), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with one or more of the following: antioxidants, flavoring agents, and carrier materials such as binders, suspending agents, disintegration agents, filling agents, surfactants, solubilizers, stabilizers, lubricants, wetting agents, and diluents.


In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms disclosed herein are in the form of a tablet, (including a suspension tablet, a fast-melt tablet, a bite-disintegration tablet, a rapid-disintegration tablet, an effervescent tablet, or a caplet), a pill, a powder, a capsule, solid dispersion, solid solution, bioerodible dosage form, controlled release formulations, pulsatile release dosage forms, multiparticulate dosage forms, beads, pellets, granules. In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of a powder. In still other embodiments, the pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of a tablet. In other embodiments, pharmaceutical formulation is in the form of a capsule.


In some embodiments, solid dosage forms, e.g., tablets, effervescent tablets, and capsules, are prepared by mixing particles of a dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), or (X), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with one or more pharmaceutical excipients to form a bulk blend composition. The bulk blend is readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms, such as tablets, pills, and capsules. In some embodiments, the individual unit dosages include film coatings. These formulations are manufactured by conventional formulation techniques.


Conventional formulation techniques include, e.g., one or a combination of methods: (1) dry mixing, (2) direct compression, (3) milling, (4) dry or non-aqueous granulation, (5) wet granulation, or (6) fusion. Other methods include, e.g., spray drying, pan coating, melt granulation, granulation, fluidized bed spray drying or coating (e.g., wurster coating), tangential coating, top spraying, tableting, extruding and the like.


In some embodiments, tablets will include a film surrounding the final compressed tablet. In some embodiments, the film coating can provide a delayed release of the dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), or (X), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, from the formulation. In other embodiments, the film coating aids in subject compliance (e.g., Opadry® coatings or sugar coating). Film coatings including Opadry® typically range from about 1% to about 3% of the tablet weight.


A capsule may be prepared, for example, by placing the bulk blend of the formulation of the compound described above, inside of a capsule. In some embodiments, the formulations (non-aqueous suspensions and solutions) are placed in a soft gelatin capsule. In other embodiments, the formulations are placed in standard gelatin capsules or non-gelatin capsules such as capsules comprising HPMC. In other embodiments, the formulation is placed in a sprinkle capsule, wherein the capsule is swallowed whole or the capsule is opened and the contents sprinkled on food prior to eating.


In various embodiments, the particles of the dual inhibitor of Formula (W), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), or (X), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and one or more excipients are dry blended and compressed into a mass, such as a tablet, having a hardness sufficient to provide a pharmaceutical composition that substantially disintegrates within less than about 30 minutes, less than about 35 minutes, less than about 40 minutes, less than about 45 minutes, less than about 50 minutes, less than about 55 minutes, or less than about 60 minutes, after oral administration, thereby releasing the formulation into the gastrointestinal fluid.


In still other embodiments, effervescent powders are also prepared. Effervescent salts have been used to disperse medicines in water for oral administration.


In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical solid oral dosage forms are formulated to provide a controlled release of the active compound. Controlled release refers to the release of the active compound from a dosage form in which it is incorporated according to a desired profile over an extended period of time. Controlled release profiles include, for example, sustained release, prolonged release, pulsatile release, and delayed release profiles. In contrast to immediate release compositions, controlled release compositions allow delivery of an agent to a subject over an extended period of time according to a predetermined profile. Such release rates can provide therapeutically effective levels of agent for an extended period of time and thereby provide a longer period of pharmacologic response while minimizing side effects as compared to conventional rapid release dosage forms. Such longer periods of response provide for many inherent benefits that are not achieved with the corresponding short acting, immediate release preparations.


In some embodiments, the solid dosage forms described herein are formulated as enteric coated delayed release oral dosage forms, i.e., as an oral dosage form of a pharmaceutical composition as described herein which utilizes an enteric coating to affect release in the small intestine or large intestine. In one aspect, the enteric coated dosage form is a compressed or molded or extruded tablet/mold (coated or uncoated) containing granules, powder, pellets, beads or particles of the active ingredient and/or other composition components, which are themselves coated or uncoated. In one aspect, the enteric coated oral dosage form is in the form of a capsule containing pellets, beads or granules.


Conventional coating techniques such as spray or pan coating are employed to apply coatings. The coating thickness must be sufficient to ensure that the oral dosage form remains intact until the desired site of topical delivery in the intestinal tract is reached.


In other embodiments, the formulations described herein are delivered using a pulsatile dosage form. A pulsatile dosage form is capable of providing one or more immediate release pulses at predetermined time points after a controlled lag time or at specific sites. In one embodiment, the pulsatile dosage form includes at least two groups of particles, (i.e. multiparticulate) each containing the formulation described herein. The first group of particles provides a substantially immediate dose of the active compound upon ingestion by a mammal. The first group of particles can be either uncoated or include a coating and/or sealant. In one aspect, the second group of particles comprises coated particles. The coating on the second group of particles provides a delay of from about 2 hours to about 7 hours following ingestion before release of the second dose. Suitable coatings for pharmaceutical compositions are described herein or in the art.


In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions are provided that include particles of a dual inhibitor of Formula (W), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one dispersing agent or suspending agent for oral administration to a subject. The compositions may be a powder and/or granules for suspension, and upon admixture with water, a substantially uniform suspension is obtained.


In one aspect, liquid formulation dosage forms for oral administration are in the form of aqueous suspensions selected from the group including, but not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous oral dispersions, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, gels, and syrups. See, e.g., Singh et al.., Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Technology, 2nd Ed., pp. 754-757 (2002). In addition to the particles of the dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), the liquid dosage forms include additives, such as: (a) disintegrating agents; (b) dispersing agents; (c) wetting agents; (d) at least one preservative, (e) viscosity enhancing agents, (f) at least one sweetening agent, and (g) at least one flavoring agent. In some embodiments, the aqueous dispersions can further include a crystalline inhibitor.


Buccal formulations that include the dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are administered using a variety of formulations known in the art. For example, such formulations include, but are not limited to, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,229,447, 4,596,795, 4,755,386, and 5,739,136. In addition, the buccal dosage forms described herein can further include a bioerodible (hydrolysable) polymeric carrier that also serves to adhere the dosage form to the buccal mucosa. For buccal or sublingual administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, or gels formulated in a conventional manner.


In some embodiments, the dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, are prepared as transdermal dosage forms. In one embodiment, the transdermal formulations described herein include at least three components: (1) a formulation of a compound of Formula (W), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; (2) a penetration enhancer; and (3) an aqueous adjuvant. In some embodiments the transdermal formulations include additional components such as, but not limited to, gelling agents, creams and ointment bases, and the like. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulation further includes a woven or non-woven backing material to enhance absorption and prevent the removal of the transdermal formulation from the skin. In other embodiments, the transdermal formulations described herein can maintain a saturated or supersaturated state to promote diffusion into the skin.


In one aspect, formulations suitable for transdermal administration of compounds described herein employ transdermal delivery devices and transdermal delivery patches and can be lipophilic emulsions or buffered, aqueous solutions, dissolved and/or dispersed in a polymer or an adhesive. In one aspect, such patches are constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Still further, transdermal delivery of the compounds described herein can be accomplished by means of iontophoretic patches and the like. In one aspect, transdermal patches provide controlled delivery of the active compound. In one aspect, transdermal devices are in the form of a bandage comprising a backing member, a reservoir containing the compound optionally with carriers, optionally a rate controlling barrier to deliver the compound to the skin of the host at a controlled and predetermined rate over a prolonged period of time, and means to secure the device to the skin.


In one aspect, the dual inhibitor of Formula (IV), (IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (V), (VI), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), or (XI), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is formulated into a pharmaceutical composition suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection. In one aspect, formulations suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection include physiologically acceptable sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (propyleneglycol, polyethylene-glycol, glycerol, cremophor and the like), vegetable oils and organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. In some embodiments, formulations suitable for subcutaneous injection contain additives such as preserving, wetting, emulsifying, and dispensing agents. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.


For intravenous injections, compounds described herein are formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hank's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer.


For transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art. For other parenteral injections, appropriate formulations include aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, preferably with physiologically compatible buffers or excipients. Such excipients are known.

DYRK1A Kinase Assay

The DYRK1A kinase assay was performed using recombinant human full-length DYRK1A protein (GST-tagged, expressed in insect cells), in a 12-concentration IC50 format with singlicate wells (12 pt IC50), using microfluidics detection technology. Kinase reactions were assembled in 384 well plates (Greiner) in a total volume of 20 uL as follows: kinase protein was pre-diluted in assay buffer comprising: 100 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 0.1% BSA, 0.01% Triton X-100, 1mM DTT, 5mM MgCl2 and dispensed into 384 well plate (10 μL per well). All compounds and reference standards were serially pre-diluted in DMSO and added to the protein samples by acoustic dispensing (Labcyte Echo). DMSO concentration was equalized to 1% in all samples. Control samples (0%-inhibition in the absence of inhibitor, DMSO only) and 100%-inhibition (in the absence of enzyme) are assembled in replicates of four and used to calculate the %-inhibition in the presence of compounds. Reactions were initiated by addition of 104 of FAM-labeled DYRKtide peptide substrate and ATP prepared in the same assay buffer. Final concentrations of enzyme, ATP and substrate peptide were 0.01 nM, 20 μM and 1 μM, respectively. The kinase reactions are allowed to proceed for 3 h at room temperature. Following incubation, the reactions were quenched by addition of 50 μL of termination buffer (100 mM HEPES, pH7.5, 0.01% Triton X-100, 50 mM EDTA). Terminated plates are analyzed on a microfluidic electrophoresis instrument (Caliper LabChip® 3000, Caliper Life Sciences/Perkin Elmer), enabling electrophoretic separation and detection of product and substrate. A change in the relative intensity of the peptide substrate and phosphorylated product was the parameter measured. Activity in each test sample was determined as the product to sum ratio (PSR): P/(S+P), where P is the peak height of the product, and S is the peak height of the substrate. Percent inhibition (Pinh) was determined using the following equation: Pinh=(PSR0% inh—PSR compound)/(PSR0% inh—PSR100% inh)*100, in which: PSR compound is the product/sum ratio in the presence of compound, PSR0% inh is the product/sum ratio in the absence of compound and the PSR100% inh is the product/sum ratio in the absence of the enzyme. The compound IC50 (50%-inhibition) was determined by the %-inh data (Pinh versus compound concentration) fitted by a 4-parameter sigmoid dose-response model using XLfit software (IDBS). IC50 data for compounds are shown in Table 2.


Activity data for compounds are shown in Table 2.
