Description

The disclosure relates to modulators of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR), pharmaceutical compositions containing the modulators, methods of treatment of cystic fibrosis using such modulators and pharmaceutical compositions, combination therapies and combination pharmaceutical compositions employing such modulators, and processes and intermediates used for making such modulators.


Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disease that affects approximately 70,000 children and adults worldwide. Despite progress in the treatment of CF, there is no cure.


In patients with CF, mutations in CFTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia lead to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport. The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to increased mucus accumulation in the lung and accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients. In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, result in death. In addition, the majority of males with cystic fibrosis are infertile, and fertility is reduced among females with cystic fibrosis.


Sequence analysis of the CFTR gene has revealed a variety of disease causing mutations (Cutting, G. R. et al. (1990) Nature 346:366-369; Dean, M. et al. (1990) Cell 61:863:870; and Kerem, B-S. et al. (1989) Science 245:1073-1080; Kerem, B-S et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8447-8451). To date, greater than 2000 mutations in the CF gene have been identified; currently, the CFTR2 database contains information on only 432 of these identified mutations, with sufficient evidence to define 352 mutations as disease causing. The most prevalent disease-causing mutation is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 of the CFTR amino acid sequence and is commonly referred to as the F508del mutation. This mutation occurs in many of the cases of cystic fibrosis and is associated with severe disease.


The deletion of residue 508 in CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly. This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, the number of CFTR channels for anion transport present in the membrane is far less than observed in cells expressing wild-type CFTR, i.e., CFTR having no mutations. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion and fluid transport across epithelia. (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J. 4: 2709-2727). The channels that are defective because of the F508del mutation are still functional, albeit less functional than wild-type CFTR channels. (Dalemans et al. (1991), Nature Lond. 354: 526-528; Pasyk and Foskett (1995), J. Cell. Biochem. 270: 12347-50). In addition to F508del, other disease-causing mutations in CFTR that result in defective trafficking, synthesis, and/or channel gating could be up- or down-regulated to alter anion secretion and modify disease progression and/or severity.


CFTR is a cAMP/ATP-mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cell types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelial cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue. CFTR is composed of 1480 amino acids that encode a protein which is made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.


Chloride transport takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na+—K+-ATPase pump and Cl channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via Cl channels, resulting in a vectorial transport. Arrangement of Na+/2Cl/K+ co-transporter, Na+—K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side. Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride.


A number of CFTR modulating compounds have recently been identified. However, compounds that can treat or reduce the severity of cystic fibrosis and other CFTR mediated diseases, and particularly the more severe forms of these diseases, are still needed.

Methods of Treatment

Any of the novel compounds disclosed herein, such as for example, compounds of Formula I, compounds of any one of Formulae Ia, IIa, IIb, III, IV, V, VIa, and VIb, Compounds 1 to 369, tautomers thereof, deuterated derivatives of those compounds and tautomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing, can act as a CFTR modulator, i.e., it modulates CFTR activity in the body. Individuals suffering from a mutation in the gene encoding CFTR may benefit from receiving a CFTR modulator. A CFTR mutation may affect the CFTR quantity, i.e., the number of CFTR channels at the cell surface, or it may impact CFTR function, i.e., the functional ability of each channel to open and transport ions. Mutations affecting CFTR quantity include mutations that cause defective synthesis (Class I defect), mutations that cause defective processing and trafficking (Class II defect), mutations that cause reduced synthesis of CFTR (Class V defect), and mutations that reduce the surface stability of CFTR (Class VI defect). Mutations that affect CFTR function include mutations that cause defective gating (Class III defect) and mutations that cause defective conductance (Class IV defect). Some CFTR mutations exhibit characteristics of multiple classes. Certain mutations in the CFTR gene result in cystic fibrosis.


Thus, in some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of treating, lessening the severity of, or symptomatically treating cystic fibrosis in a patient comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of any of the novel compounds disclosed herein, such as for example, compounds of Formula I, compounds of any one of Formulae Ia, IIa, IIb, III, IV, V, VIa, and VIb, Compounds 1 to 369, tautomers thereof, deuterated derivatives of those compounds and tautomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing, alone or in combination with another active ingredient, such as one or more additional CFTR modulating agents. In some embodiments, the one (or more) CFTR modulating agent is a corrector. In some embodiments, the one (or more) CFTR modulating agent is a potentiator. In some embodiments, the CFTR modulating agents include both a corrector and a potentiator. In some embodiments, the one or more CFTR modulating agents are selected from potentiators: ivacaftor, deutivacaftor, (6R,12R)-17-amino-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,14,16-pentaen-6-ol, and deuterated derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing; and correctors: lumacaftor, tezacaftor, and deuterated derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.


In some embodiments, 5 mg to 500 mg of a compound disclosed herein, a tautomer thereof, a deuterated derivative of the compound and tautomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of the foregoing are administered daily.


In some embodiments, the patient has an F508del/minimal function (MF) genotype, F508del/F508del genotype (homozygous for the F508del mutation), F508del/gating genotype, or F508del/residual function (RF) genotype. In some embodiments the patient is heterozygous and has one F508del mutation. In some embodiments the patient is homozygous for the N1303K mutation.


In some embodiments, the patient has at least one F508del mutation in the CFTR gene. In some embodiments, the patient has a CFTR gene mutation that is responsive to a compound, tautomer, deutrated derivative, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the disclosure based on in vitro data.

In some embodiments, the disclosure also is directed to methods of treatment using isotope-labelled compounds of the afore-mentioned compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein the formula and variables of such compounds and salts are each and independently as described above or any other embodiments described above, provided that one or more atoms therein have been replaced by an atom or atoms having an atomic mass or mass number which differs from the atomic mass or mass number of the atom which usually occurs naturally (isotope labelled). Examples of isotopes which are commercially available and suitable for the disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, for example 2H, 3H, 13C, 14C, 15N, 18O, 17O, 31P, 32P 35S, 18F and 36Cl, respectively.


The isotope-labelled compounds and salts can be used in a number of beneficial ways. They can be suitable for medicaments and/or various types of assays, such as substrate tissue distribution assays. For example, tritium (3H)- and/or carbon-14 (14C)-labelled compounds are particularly useful for various types of assays, such as substrate tissue distribution assays, due to relatively simple preparation and excellent detectability. For example, deuterium (2H)-labelled ones are therapeutically useful with potential therapeutic advantages over the non-2H-labelled compounds. In general, deuterium (2H)-labelled compounds and salts can have higher metabolic stability as compared to those that are not isotope-labelled owing to the kinetic isotope effect described below. Higher metabolic stability translates directly into an increased in vivo half-life or lower dosages, which could be desired. The isotope-labelled compounds and salts can usually be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the synthesis schemes and the related description, in the example part and in the preparation part in the present text, replacing a non-isotope-labelled reactant by a readily available isotope-labelled reactant.


In some embodiments, the isotope-labelled compounds and salts are deuterium (2H)-labelled ones. In some specific embodiments, the isotope-labelled compounds and salts are deuterium (2H)-labelled, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms therein have been replaced by deuterium. In chemical structures, deuterium is represented as “D.”


The concentration of the isotope(s) (e.g., deuterium) incorporated into the isotope-labelled compounds and salt of the disclosure may be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. The term “isotopic enrichment factor” as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope. In some embodiments, if a substituent in a compound of the disclosure is denoted deuterium, such compound has an isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation).

II. General Methods

Reagents and starting materials were obtained by commercial sources unless otherwise stated and were used without purification.


Proton and carbon NMR spectra were acquired on either a Bruker Biospin DRX 400 MHz FTNMR spectrometer operating at a 1H and 13C resonant frequency of 400 and 100 MHz respectively, or on a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. One dimensional proton and carbon spectra were acquired using a broadband observe (BBFO) probe with 20 Hz sample rotation at 0.1834 and 0.9083 Hz/Pt digital resolution respectively. All proton and carbon spectra were acquired with temperature control at 30° C. using standard, previously published pulse sequences and routine processing parameters.


NMR (1D & 2D) spectra were also recorded on a Bruker AVNEO 400 MHz spectrometer operating at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively equipped with a 5 mm multinuclear Iprobe.


NMR spectra were also recorded on a Varian Mercury NMR instrument at 300 MHz for 1H using a 45 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 4800 Hz and 28860 points of acquisition. FID were zero-filled to 32k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before Fourier transform. 19F NMR spectra were recorded at 282 MHz using a 30 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 100 kHz and 59202 points were acquired. FID were zero-filled to 64k points and a line broadening of 0.5 Hz was applied before Fourier transform.


NMR spectra were also recorded on a Bruker Avance III HD NMR instrument at 400 MHz for 1H using a 30 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 8000 Hz and 128k points of acquisition. FID were zero-filled to 256k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before fourrier transform. 19F NMR spectra were recorded at 377 MHz using a 30 deg pulse angle, a spectral width of 89286 Hz and 128k points were acquired. FID were zero-filled to 256k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before Fourier transform.

PhI(OAc)2 (48 g, 149.02 mmol) was added to a solution of (2-bromo-3-methyl-phenyl)methanol (25.68 g, 121.34 mmol) and TEMPO (2.1 g, 13.440 mmol) in DCM (210 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred until the alcohol was no longer detectable (TLC), and then it was diluted with DCM. The mixture was washed with sat. Na2S2O3 solution and extracted with DCM. The combined organic extracts were washed with aq. NaHCO3, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated. The crude was purified by silica gel chromatography (80 g silica, 0-30% gradient of EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 2-bromo-3-methyl-benzaldehyde (22.1 g, 91%) as a white solid.

To a suspension of cyclohexyl(triphenyl)phosphonium;bromide (77.2 g, 181.50 mmol) in THF (220 mL) at 0° C. was added potassium tert-butoxide (26.165 g, 233.17 mmol) in THE (220 mL). The mixture was then stirred at RT for 1 h. The mixture was then cooled back down to 0° C. and a solution of 2-bromo-3-methyl-benzaldehyde (22.1 g, 111.03 mmol) in THE (45 mL) was added. The reaction was then stirred at RT for 17 h. The reaction mixture was then quenched with cold water (200 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×300 mL). The organic layers were then combined, washed with brine, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was then purified via silica gel column chromatography (eluting with 0 to 5% EtOAc in hexanes) to yield 2-bromo-1-(cyclohexylidenemethyl)-3-methyl-benzene (24.66 g, 82%) as a clear oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 7.17-7.06 (m, 2H), 7.03 (m, 1H), 6.19 (s, 1H), 2.43 (s, 3H), 2.33-2.25 (m, 2H), 2.24-2.16 (m, 2H), 1.72-1.64 (m, 2H), 1.64-1.58 (m, 2H), 1.55 (m, 2H).

In a 20-mL sealed tube was added 2-bromo-1-(cyclohexylidenemethyl)-3-methyl-benzene (34.9 g, 125.02 mmol) in dioxane (300 mL), and KOAc (29 g, 295.49 mmol) was added. The resulting mixture was degassed with N2 for several minutes. Then, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (54 g, 212.65 mmol) was added, followed by Pd(dppf)Cl2 (9 g, 12.3 mmol), and the reaction was purged again by N2, sealed and heated at 100° C. for 16 h. Thereafter, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, saturated ammonium chloride solution was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The resulting brown oil was purified utilizing silica gel chromatography (330 g×2 of silica, 0-15% gradient of EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 2-[2-(cyclohexylidenemethyl)-6-methyl-phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (24 g, 61%) as a yellow oil. ESI-MS m/z calc. 312.22607, found 313.4 (M+1)+; Retention time: 4.62 minutes; LC Method T.

VI. Bioactivity
A. 3T3 Assay
1. Membrane Potential Optical Methods for Assaying F508del Modulation Properties of Compounds

The assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential using a fluorescent plate reader (e.g., FLIPR III, Molecular Devices, Inc.) as a readout for increase in functional F508del in NIH 3T3 cells. The driving force for the response is the creation of a chloride ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation by a single liquid addition step after the cells have previously been treated with compounds and subsequently loaded with a voltage sensing dye.


2. Identification of Corrector Compounds

To identify correctors of F508del, a single-addition HTS assay format was developed. This HTS assay utilizes fluorescent voltage sensing dyes to measure changes in membrane potential on the FLIPR III as a measurement for increase in gating (conductance) of F508del in F508del NIH 3T3 cells. The F508del NIH 3T3 cell cultures were incubated with the corrector compounds at a range of concentrations for 18-24 hours at 37° C., and subsequently loaded with a redistribution dye. The driving force for the response is a Cl ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation with forskolin in a single liquid addition step using a fluorescent plate reader such as FLIPR III. The efficacy and potency of the putative F508del correctors was compared to that of the known corrector, lumacaftor, in combination with acutely added 300 nM Ivacaftor.

For all optical assays, the cells were seeded at ˜20,000/well in 384-well matrigel-coated plates. For the correction assays, the cells are cultured at 37° C. with and without compounds for 16-24 hours.

A functional CFTR assay using primary cystic fibrosis intestinal organoids. Nat Med. 2013 July; 19(7):939-45.).


3. Enteroid Cell Harvesting and Seeding

Cells were recovered in cell recovery solution, collected by centrifugation at 650 rpm for 5 min at 4° C., resuspended in TryPLE and incubated for 5 min at 37° C. Cells were then collected by centrifugation at 650 rpm for 5 min at 4° C. and resuspended in IEMM containing 10 μM ROCK inhibitor (RI). The cell suspension was passed through a 40 μm cell strainer and resuspended at 1×106 cells/mL in IEMM containing 10 μM RI. Cells were seeded at 5000 cells/well into multi-well plates and incubated for overnight at 37° C., 95% humidity and 5% CO2 prior to assay.


4. Membrane Potential Dye, Enteroid Assay A

Enteroid cells were incubated with test compound in IEMM for 18-24 hours at 37° C., 95% humidity and 5% CO2. Following compound incubations, a membrane potential dye assay was employed using a FLIPR Tetra to directly measure the potency and efficacy of the test compound on CFTR-mediated chloride transport following acute addition of 10 μM forskolin and 300 nM N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide. Briefly, cells were washed 5 times in Bath 1 Buffer. Bath 1 Dye Solution was added, and the cells were incubated for 25 min at room temperature. Following dye incubation, cells were washed 3 times in Chloride Free Dye Solution. Chloride transport was initiated by addition of Chloride Free Dye Stimulation Solution and the fluorescence signal was read for 15 min. The CFTR-mediated chloride transport for each condition was determined from the AUC of the fluorescence response to acute forskolin and 300 nM N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide stimulation. Chloride transport was then expressed as a percentage of the chloride transport following treatment with 3 μM (S)—N-((6-aminopyridin-2-yl)sulfonyl)-6-(3-fluoro-5-isobutoxyphenyl)-2-(2,2,4-trimethylpyrrolidin-1-yl)nicotinamide, 3 μM (R)-1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-6-fluoro-2-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide and 300 nM acute N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide triple combination control (% Activity).


5. Membrane Potential Dye, Enteroid Assay B

Following compound incubations, a membrane potential dye assay was employed using a FLIPR Tetra to directly measure the potency and efficacy of the test compound on CFTR-mediated chloride transport following acute addition of 10 μM forskolin and 300 nM N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide. Briefly, cells were washed 5 times in Bath 1 Buffer. Bath 1 Dye Solution was added and the cells were incubated for 25 min at room temperature. Following dye incubation, cells were washed 3 times in Chloride Free Dye Solution. Chloride transport was initiated by addition of Chloride Free Dye Stimulation Solution and the fluorescence signal was read for 15 min. The CFTR-mediated chloride transport for each condition was determined from the AUC of the fluorescence response to acute forskolin and 300 nM N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide stimulation. Chloride transport was then expressed as a percentage of the chloride transport following treatment with 1 μM (14S)-8-[3-(2-{Dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl}ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12-dimethyl-2λ6-thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.111,14.05,10]tetracosa-1(22),5,7,9,19(23),20-hexaene-2,2,4-trione, 3 μM (R)-1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-6-fluoro-2-(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)-1H-indol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide and 300 nM acute N-[2,4-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-hydroxyphenyl]-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxamide triple combination control (% Activity).


C. HBE Assay
1. Ussing Chamber Assay of CFTR-Mediated Short-Circuit Currents

Ussing chamber experiments were performed using human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells derived from CF subjects heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function CFTR mutation (F508del/MF-HBE) and cultured as previously described (Neuberger T, Burton B, Clark H, Van Goor F Methods Mol Biol 2011:741:39-54). After four days the apical media was removed, and the cells were grown at an air liquid interface for >14 days prior to use. This resulted in a monolayer of fully differentiated columnar cells that were ciliated, features that are characteristic of human bronchial airway epithelia.


To isolate the CFTR-mediated short-circuit (ISC) current, F508del/MF-HBE grown on Costar® Snapwell™ cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber and the transepithelial ISC was measured under voltage-clamp recording conditions (Vhold=0 mV) at 37° C. The basolateral solution contained (in mM) 145 NaCl, 0.83 K2HIPO4, 3.3 KH2PO4, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 CaCl2), 10 Glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) and the apical solution contained (in mM) 145 NaGluconate, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 CaCl2), 10 glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) and 30 μM amiloride to block the epithelial sodium channel. Forskolin (20 μM) was added to the apical surface to activate CFTR, followed by apical addition of a CFTR inhibitor cocktail consisting of BPO, GlyH-101, and CFTR inhibitor 172 (each at 20 μM final assay concentration) to specifically isolate CFTR currents. The CFTR-mediated ISC (μA/cm2) for each condition was determined from the peak forskolin response to the steady-state current following inhibition.


2. Identification of Corrector Compounds

The activity of the CFTR corrector compounds on the CFTR-mediated ISC was determined in Ussing chamber studies as described above. The F508del/MF-HBE cell cultures were either incubated with the corrector compounds at a range of concentrations in combination with 1 μM Ivacaftor or were incubated with the corrector compounds at a single fixed concentration of 10 μM in combination with 1 μM Ivacaftor for 18-24 hours at 37° C. and in the presence of 20% human serum. The concentration of corrector compounds with 1 μM Ivacaftor during the 18-24 hours incubations was kept constant throughout the Ussing chamber measurement of the CFTR-mediated ISC to ensure compounds were present throughout the entire experiment. The efficacy and potency of the putative F508del correctors was compared to that of the known Vertex corrector, (14S)-8-[3-(2-{Dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl}ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12-dimethyl-2λ6-thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.111,14.05,10]tetracosa-1(22),5,7,9,19(23),20-hexaene-2,2,4-trione, in combination with 18 μM Tezacaftor and 1 μM Ivacaftor.

embedded image


A stirred mixture of 2-chloro-5-isopropoxy-pyrimidine (40 g, 220.15 mmol) and Pd(dppf)2Cl2·DCM (10 g, 12.245 mmol) in DMF (200 mL)/MeOH (200 mL)/TEA (400.00 mL) in a 2 L steel bomb with an overhead mechanical stirrer was purged with carbon monoxide three times. The reaction mixture was heated to 120° C. with 120 psi of CO and retained at this temperature for one hour. Heating was turned off and the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to rt. Methanol and triethylamine were evaporated in vacuo. Water (1 L) was added and the suspension filtered to remove catalyst residue. The cake was washed with water. The filtrate was extracted with DCM (3×700 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting brown oil was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 220 g, loaded in DCM, eluted with 25% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give a greenish oil, which was triturated with hexanes and filtered. The cake was washed with hexanes and dried in vacuo to give methyl 5-isopropoxypyrimidine-2-carboxylate (30.1 g, 66%) as a beige solid. ESI-MS m/z calc. 196.0848, found 197.4 (M+1)+; Retention time: 3.15 minutes; LC method S.

D. Biological Activity
1. Assay Procedures
(a) HBE Assay
(1) Ussing Chamber Assay of CFTR-Mediated Short-Circuit Currents

Ussing chamber experiments were performed using human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells derived from CF subjects heterozygous for F508del and a minimal function CFTR mutation (F508del/MF-HBE) and cultured as previously described (Neuberger T, Burton B, Clark H, Van Goor F Methods Mol Biol 2011:741:39-54). After four days the apical media was removed, and the cells were grown at an air liquid interface for >14 days prior to use. This resulted in a monolayer of fully differentiated columnar cells that were ciliated, features that are characteristic of human bronchial airway epithelia.


To isolate the CFTR-mediated short-circuit (ISC) current, F508del/MF-HBE grown on Costar® Snapwell™ cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber and the transepithelial ISC was measured under voltage-clamp recording conditions (Vhold=0 mV) at 37° C. The basolateral solution contained (in mM) 145 NaCl, 0.83 K2HPO4, 3.3 KH2PO4, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 CaCl2), 10 Glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) and the apical solution contained (in mM) 145 NaGluconate, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 CaCl2), 10 glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.4 with NaOH) and 30 μM amiloride to block the epithelial sodium channel. Forskolin (20 μM) was added to the apical surface to activate CFTR, followed by apical addition of a CFTR inhibitor cocktail consisting of BPO, GlyH-101, and CFTR inhibitor 172 (each at 20 μM final assay concentration) to specifically isolate CFTR currents. The CFTR-mediated ISC (μA/cm2) for each condition was determined from the peak forskolin response to the steady-state current following inhibition.


(2) Identification of Corrector Compounds

The activity of the CFTR corrector compounds on the CFTR-mediated ISC was determined in Ussing chamber studies as described above. The F508del/MF-HBE cell cultures were either incubated with the corrector compounds at a range of concentrations in combination with 1 μM Ivacaftor or were incubated with the corrector compounds at a single fixed concentration of 10 μM in combination with 1 μM Ivacaftor for 18-24 hours at 37° C. and in the presence of 20% human serum. The concentration of corrector compounds with 1 μM Ivacaftor during the 18-24 hours incubations was kept constant throughout the Ussing chamber measurement of the CFTR-mediated ISC to ensure compounds were present throughout the entire experiment. The efficacy and potency of the putative F508del correctors was compared to that of the known Vertex corrector, (14S)-8-[3-(2-{Dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptan-7-yl}ethoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-12,12-dimethyl-2λ6-thia-3,9,11,18,23-pentaazatetracyclo[17.3.1.111,14.05,10]tetracosa-1(22),5,7,9,19(23),20-hexaene-2,2,4-trione, in combination with 18 μM Tezacaftor and 1 μM Ivacaftor.

The concentration of corrector compounds with 44 nM (6R,12R)-17-amino-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,14,16-pentaen-6-ol during the 18-24 hours incubations was kept constant throughout the Ussing chamber measurement of the CFTR-mediated ISC to ensure compounds were present throughout the entire experiment.

VIII. Synthesis of (6R,12R)-17-amino-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo [12.3.1.12,5] nonadeca-1(18),2,4,14,16-pentaen-6-ol
A. General Methods

Reagents and starting materials were obtained by commercial sources unless otherwise stated and were used without purification.


Proton and carbon NMR spectra were acquired on either a Bruker Biospin DRX 400 MHz FTNMR spectrometer operating at a 1H and 13C resonant frequency of 400 and 100 MHz respectively, or on a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer. One dimensional proton and carbon spectra were acquired using a broadband observe (BBFO) probe with 20 Hz sample rotation at 0.1834 and 0.9083 Hz/Pt digital resolution respectively. All proton and carbon spectra were acquired with temperature control at 30° C. using standard, previously published pulse sequences and routine processing parameters.


NMR (1D & 2D) spectra were also recorded on a Bruker AVNEO 400 MHz spectrometer operating at 400 MHz and 100 MHz respectively equipped with a 5 mm multinuclear Iprobe.


NMR spectra were also recorded on a Varian Mercury NMR instrument at 300 MHz for 1H using a 45 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 4800 Hz and 28860 points of acquisition. FID were zero-filled to 32k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before Fourier transform. 19F NMR spectra were recorded at 282 MHz using a 30 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 100 kHz and 59202 points were acquired. FID were zero-filled to 64k points and a line broadening of 0.5 Hz was applied before Fourier transform.


NMR spectra were also recorded on a Bruker Avance III HD NMR instrument at 400 MHz for 1H using a 30 degree pulse angle, a spectral width of 8000 Hz and 128k points of acquisition. FID were zero-filled to 256k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before fourrier transform. 19F NMR spectra were recorded at 377 MHz using a 30 deg pulse angle, a spectral width of 89286 Hz and 128k points were acquired. FID were zero-filled to 256k points and a line broadening of 0.3 Hz was applied before Fourier transform.


NMR spectra were also recorded on a Bruker AC 250 MHz instrument equipped with a: 5 mm QNP(H1/C13/F19/P31) probe (type: 250-SB, s #23055/0020) or on a Varian 500 MHz instrument equipped with a ID PFG, 5 mm, 50-202/500 MHz probe (model/part #99337300).


Unless stated to the contrary in the following examples, final purity of compounds was determined by reversed phase UPLC using an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm particle) made by Waters (pn: 186002350), and a dual gradient run from 1-99% mobile phase B over 3.0 minutes. Mobile phase A=H2O (0.05% CF3CO2H). Mobile phase B=CH3CN (0.035% CF3CO2H). Flow rate=1.2 mL/min, injection volume=1.5 μL, and column temperature=60° C. Final purity was calculated by averaging the area under the curve (AUC) of two UV traces (220 nm, 254 nm). Low-resolution mass spectra were reported as [M+1]+ species obtained using a single quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source capable of achieving a mass accuracy of 0.1 Da and a minimum resolution of 1000 (no units on resolution) across the detection range.


Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectra were recorded on a Bruker-Biospin 400 MHz wide-bore spectrometer equipped with Bruker-Biospin 4 mm HFX probe. Samples were packed into 4 mm ZrO2 rotors and spun under Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) condition with spinning speed typically set to 12.5 kHz. The proton relaxation time was measured using 1H MAS Ti saturation recovery relaxation experiment in order to set up proper recycle delay of the 13C cross-polarization (CP) MAS experiment. The fluorine relaxation time was measured using 19F MAS Ti saturation recovery relaxation experiment in order to set up proper recycle delay of the 19F MAS experiment. The CP contact time of carbon CPMAS experiment was set to 2 ms. A CP proton pulse with linear ramp (from 50% to 100%) was employed. The carbon Hartmann-Hahn match was optimized on external reference sample (glycine). Both carbon and fluorine spectra were recorded with proton decoupling using TPPM15 decoupling sequence with the field strength of approximately 100 kHz.

Dissolved tert-butyl N-[2-[5-[(1R)-1-benzyloxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)pent-4-enyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-6-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (159.3 g, 231.3 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (72.9 g, 277.9 mmol) in toluene (1 L), then added (2S)-pent-4-en-2-ol (28.7 mL, 278.9 mmol). Heated this mixture to 45° C., then added DIAD (58.3 mL, 296.1 mmol) (exotherm) slowly over 40 min. For the next approximately 2 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. During this cooling period, after the first 10 minutes, triphenylphosphine (6.07 g, 23.14 mmol) was added. After a further 1 h, additional triphenylphosphine (3.04 g, 11.59 mmol) was added. After a further 23 min, DIAD (2.24 mL, 11.57 mmol) was added. After the ˜2 h cooling to room temperature period, the mixture was cooled to 15° C., and seed crystals of DIAD-triphenylphosphine oxide complex were added which caused precipitation to occur, then added 1000 mL heptane. Stored the mixture at −20° C. for 3 days. Filtered out and discarded the precipitate and concentrated the filtrate to give a red residue/oil. Dissolved the residue in 613 mL heptane at 45° C., then cooled to 0° C., seeded with DIAD-triphenylphosphine oxide complex, stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then filtered the solution. The filtrate was concentrated to a smaller volume, then loaded onto a 1.5 kg silica gel column (column volume=2400 mL, flow rate=600 mL/min). Ran a gradient of 1% to 6% EtOAc in hexanes over 32 minutes (8 column volumes), then held at 6% EtOAc in hexanes until the product finished eluting which gave tert-butyl N-[2-[5-[(1R)-1-benzyloxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)pent-4-enyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-6-[(1R)-1-methylbut-3-enoxy]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (163.5 g, 93%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 7.82 (s, 1H), 7.43-7.27 (m, 5H), 5.88-5.69 (m, 2H), 5.35 (h, J=6.2 Hz, 1H), 5.16-4.94 (m, 4H), 4.81 (d, J=10.7 Hz, 1H), 4.63 (d, J=10.7 Hz, 1H), 2.58-2.15 (m, 6H), 1.42 (s, 18H), 1.36 (d, J=6.2 Hz, 3H) ppm. ESI-MS m/z calc. 756.2958, found 757.3 (M+1)+; Retention time: 4.0 minutes. Final purity was determined by reversed phase UPLC using an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm particle) made by Waters (pn: 186002350), and a dual gradient run from 1-99% mobile phase B over 4.5 minutes. Mobile phase A=water (0.05% CF3CO2H). Mobile phase B=acetonitrile (0.035% CF3CO2H). Flow rate=1.2 mL/min, injection volume=1.5 μL, and column temperature=60° C.


Step 2: tert-Butyl N-[(6R,12R)-6-benzyloxy-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,9,14,16-hexaen-17-yl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (E/Z mixture)

The following reaction was run, split equally between two, 12 L reaction flasks run in parallel. Mechanical stirring was employed, and reactions were subjected to a constant nitrogen gas purge using a course porosity gas dispersion tube. To each flask was added tert-butyl N-[2-[5-[(1R)-1-benzyloxy-1-(trifluoromethyl)pent-4-enyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-6-[(1R)-1-methylbut-3-enoxy]-5-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pyridyl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (54 g, 71.36 mmol in each flask) dissolved in DCE (8 L in each flask) and both flasks were strongly purged with nitrogen at room temperature. Both flasks were heated to 62° C. and Grubbs 1st Generation Catalyst (9 g, 10.94 mmol in each flask) was added to each reaction and stirred at 400 rpm while setting an internal temperature control to 75° C. with strong nitrogen purging (both reactions reached −75° C. after approximately 20 min). After 5 h 15 min, the internal temperature control was set to 45° C. After approximately 2 h, 2-sulfanylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid (11 g, 70.89 mmol in each flask) was added to each flask followed by triethylamine (10 mL, 71.75 mmol in each flask). On completion of addition, the nitrogen purge was turned off and both reaction flasks were stirred at 45° C. open to air overnight. The reactions were then removed from heat and 130 g of silica gel was added to each reaction and each was stirred at room temperature. After approximately 2 h, the green mixtures were combined and filtered over Celite then concentrated by rotary evaporation at 43° C. The obtained residue was dissolved in dichloromethane/heptane 1:1 (400 mL) and the formed orange solid was removed by filtration. The greenish mother liquor was evaporated to give 115.5 g of a green foam. Dissolved this material in 500 mL of 1:1 dichloromethane/hexanes then loaded onto a 3 kg silica gel column (column volume=4800 mL, flow rate=900 mL/min). Ran a gradient of 2% to 9% EtOAc in hexanes over 43 minutes (8 column volumes), then ran at 9% EtOAc until the product finished eluting giving 77.8 g of impure product. This material was co-evaporated with methanol (˜500 mL) then diluted with methanol (200 mL) to give 234.5 g of a methanolic solution, which was halved and each half was purified by reverse phase chromatography (3.8 kg C18 column, column volume=3300 mL, flow rate=375 mL/min, loaded as solution in methanol). Ran the column at 55% acetonitrile for ˜5 minutes (0.5 column volumes), then at a gradient of 55% to 100% acetonitrile in water over ˜170 minutes (19-20 column volumes), then held at 100% acetonitrile until the product and impurities finished eluting. Clean product fractions from both columns were combined and concentrated by rotary evaporation then transferred with ethanol into 5 L flask, evaporated and carefully dried (becomes a foam) to give as a mixture of olefin isomers, tert-butyl N-[(6R,12R)-6-benzyloxy-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,9,14,16-hexaen-17-yl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (E/Z mixture) (55.5 g, 53%). ESI-MS m/z calc. 728.26447, found 729.0 (M+1)+; Retention time: 3.82 minutes. Final purity was determined by reversed phase UPLC using an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (50×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm particle) made by Waters (pn: 186002350), and a dual gradient run from 1-99% mobile phase B over 4.5 minutes. Mobile phase A=water (0.05% CF3CO2H). Mobile phase B=acetonitrile (0.035% CF3CO2H). Flow rate=1.2 mL/min, injection volume=1.5 μL, and column temperature=60° C.

tert-Butyl N-[(6R,12R)-6-benzyloxy-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,9,14,16-hexaen-17-yl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (E/Z mixture) (11.7 g, 16.06 mmol) was dissolved in stirring ethanol (230 mL) and cycled the flask 3 times vacuum/nitrogen and treated with 10% Pd/C (50% water wet, 2.2 g of 5% w/w, 1.034 mmol). The mixture was cycled 3 times between vacuum/nitrogen and 3 times between vacuum/hydrogen. The mixture was then stirred strongly under hydrogen (balloon) for 7.5 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration, replaced with fresh 10% Pd/C (50% water wet, 2.2 g of 5% w/w, 1.034 mmol) and stirred vigorously under hydrogen (balloon) overnight. Then, the catalyst was removed again by filtration, the filtrate evaporated and the residue (11.3 g, 1 g set aside) was dissolved in ethanol (230 mL) charged with fresh 10% Pd/C (50% water wet, 2.2 g of 5% w/w, 1.034 mmol) and stirred vigorously under hydrogen (balloon) for 6 h, recharged again with fresh 10% Pd/C (50% water wet, 2.2 g of 5% w/w, 1.034 mmol) and stirred vigorously under hydrogen (balloon) overnight. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated (10 g of residue obtained). This crude material (10 g+1 g set aside above) was purified by silica gel chromatography (330 g column, liquid load in dichloromethane) with a linear gradient of 0% to 15% ethyl acetate in hexane until the product eluted followed by 15% to 100% ethyl acetate in hexane to giving, as a colorless foam, tert-butyl N-[(6R,12R)-6-benzyloxy-12-methyl-6,15-bis(trifluoromethyl)-13,19-dioxa-3,4,18-triazatricyclo[12.3.1.12,5]nonadeca-1(18),2,4,14,16-pentaen-17-yl]-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-carbamate (9.1 g, 78%).
