Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention describes compounds that are antifungal agents, useful for the treatment of, for example, fungal infections and related conditions. The present invention further describes a novel chemotype useful for the treatment of fungal infections and other diseases that involve fungal infection.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fungal infections are a growing problem in numerous medical settings. Modern medical practices including anticancer chemotherapies, immunosuppressive drugs, broad spectrum antibiotics that disrupt the microbiome and indwelling medical devices that disrupt and breach the protective immune system. This creates an opening for infection by opportunistic fungal pathogens. Fungal infections are most common in immunocompromised patients afflicted with HIV or undergoing cancer therapies, hematological stem cell replacement, or organ transplants. Fungal infections can also occur in immunocompetent individuals and the most common cause is from skin and soft tissue wounds resulting from traumatic injury. Significant morbidity is evident with these types of injuries as the local invasive infections often require frequent and extensive surgical debridement in conjunction with systemic antifungal therapy. Nevertheless, amputations are still needed in many of the cases and mortality can be as high as 25%. In both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients, the most common fungal pathogens are Candida, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Mucorales and Fusarium spp. and infections are associated with a significant incidence of treatment failure and high mortality. Invasive Candidiasis (IC) is the fourth leading healthcare associated bloodstream infection in the US and is associated with a 47% mortality rate. Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) is becoming a dominant invasive fungal disease in hematological oncology, organ transplant and exacerbated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The incidence of IA in hematopoietic stem cell transplants has been reported to be as high as 15% with mortality rates ranging from 20% to 50%.

Pathogenic fungi include the genus Candida (examples include C. albicans, C. glabrata, C. krusei, C. tropicalis, C. guilliermondii, C. parapsilosis, C. dubliniensis and C. auri), the genus Cryptococcus (examples include C. neoformans and C. gatti), the genus Trichosporon (examples include T. asahii, T. asteroides, T. cutaneum, T. dermatis, T. dohaense, T. inkin, T. loubieri, T. mucoides, and T. ovoides), the genus Malassezia (examples include M. globose and M. restricta), the genus Aspergillus (examples include A. fumigatus.

Suitable salts formed with bases include metal salts, such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium, potassium, or magnesium salts; ammonia salts and organic amine salts, such as those formed with morpholine, thiomorpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamine (e.g., ethyl-tert-butyl-, diethyl-, diisopropyl-, triethyl-, tributyl- or dimethylpropylamine), or a mono-, di-, or trihydroxy lower alkylamine (e.g., mono-, di- or triethanolamine). Specific non-limiting examples of inorganic bases include NaHCO₃, Na₂CO₃, KHCO₃, K₂CO₃, Cs₂CO₃, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, NaH₂PO₄, Na₂HPO₄, and Na₃PO₄. Internal salts also can be formed. Similarly, when a compound disclosed herein contains a basic moiety, salts can be formed using organic and inorganic acids. For example, salts can be formed from the following acids: acetic, propionic, lactic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, tartaric, succinic, dichloroacetic, ethenesulfonic, formic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hippuric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, malonic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, naphthalenesulfonic, nitric, oxalic, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, phthalic, propionic, succinic, sulfuric, tartaric, toluenesulfonic, and camphorsulfonic as well as other known pharmaceutically acceptable acids.

When any variable occurs more than one time in any constituent or in any formula, its definition in each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence (e.g., in N(R⁹)₂, each R⁹ may be the same or different than the other). Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds.

The terms “treat” and “treating” and “treatment” as used herein, refer to partially or completely alleviating, inhibiting, ameliorating and/or relieving a condition from which a patient is suspected to suffer.

As used herein, “therapeutically effective” and “effective dose” refer to a substance or an amount that elicits a desirable biological activity or effect.

Except when noted, the terms “subject” or “patient” are used interchangeably and refer to mammals such as human patients and non-human primates, as well as experimental animals such as rabbits, rats, and mice, and other animals. Accordingly, the term. “subject” or “patient” as used herein means any mammalian patient or subject to which the compounds of the invention can be administered. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, to identify subject patients for treatment according to the methods of the invention, accepted screening methods are employed to determine risk factors associated with a targeted or suspected disease or condition or to determine the status of an existing disease or condition in a subject. These screening methods include, for example, conventional work-ups to determine risk factors that may be associated with the targeted or suspected disease or condition. These and other routine methods allow the clinician to select patients in need of therapy using the methods and compounds of the present invention.

Procedures

The following procedures can be utilized in evaluating and selecting compounds as antifungal agents.

Fungal MIC Protocol: RPMI/MOPS media (Roswell Park Memorial Institute/3-morpholinopropane-1-sulfonic acid media) is prepared by dissolving 8.4 grams RPMI 0.1640 (Sigma cat #R1383), 34.52 grams MOPS buffer (Sigma cat #M3.183) and 2 grains glucose in 900 mL deionized water. The pH is adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH and filter sterilized. 0.1 mL, of a stock spore suspension (or loop from frozen stock) is inoculated to a 75 mL tissue culture flask (Falcon cat #353136) containing 50 mL of Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA, 24 grams PD broth (Fisher cat #DF 0549179), 20 grams agar (Fisher cat #BP 1423500) per liter water). Aspergillus and Fusarium strains are grown at 35° C. and Mucor strains are grown at room temperature for 3-5 days. Spores are harvested by flooding the flask with 5 mL phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4+0.1% Tween-20 and several glass beads (Fisher cat #S800243) are added to aid in agitation. The supernatant is removed and the OD₅₃₀ of a 1:100 dilution is measured. Spores are diluted in RPMI/MOPS to a final OD₅₃₀ of 0.002 for Aspergillus and an OD₅₃₀ of 0.005 for Fusarium and Mucor. The final concentration of spores is approximately 2×10⁴ cfu/mL. Test compound(s) are diluted to 200 ug/mL in RPMI/MOPS (28 ul of 1.0 mg/mL DMSO stock in 1400 ul media). Ten (10) serial dilutions are prepared with RPMI/MOPS in a 96-well round bottom plate (Fisher cat #353136). For Mucor strains a sterile flat-bottom 96-well plate is used. 50 μl of compound dilutions in duplicate are added to a sterile 96-well round bottom plate. 50 ul of diluted spores are added to the compound-containing plates. Control wells include 1) compound but no cells and 2) spores but no compound. Mix the plates gently by hand, place in ziplock bags and

incubate at 35° C. for 48 hours. Score the MIC visually (lowest concentration of compound showing >50% growth inhibition) using an inverted mirror. For Mucorales strains the plates are read at OD530 and the concentration of compound that shows 50% growth inhibition is the MIC-50.

Candida Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC): RPMI/MOPS media is prepared by dissolving 8.4 g RPMI 1640, 34.52 g MOPS buffer and 2 g glucose in 900 mL water. The pH is adjusted to 7.0 with NaOH. The total volume is brought to 1 L and the resulting solution is filter sterilized. The Candida stock is streaked on a Yeast extract Peptone Dextrose (YPD) agar plate and grown at 35° C. for isolation of single colonies. Compounds of the disclosure are diluted to 200 μg/mL in RPMI/MOPS (4.8 ul of 10 mg/mL DMSO stock in 240 ul media). Ten (10) 1:2 serial dilutions are prepared in RPMI/MOPS in a 96-well round bottom plate. Fifty (50) μl of compound dilutions are transferred in duplicate to a sterile tissue culture-treated 96-well flat-bottom, black-sided polypropylene plate. A single colony of Candida from the YPD plate is re-suspended in 5 mL phosphate buffered saline (BS) and optical density (OD) at 600 nm is measured. The suspension is adjusted to OD=1.0 and a 1:1000 dilution is prepared in RPMI/MOPS. Fifty (50) ul aliquots of the diluted yeast are added to the plates containing 50 μL of compound to all wells except 12E-H. Control wells include: 12 A-D cells, no compound and 12 E-H no cells, no compound. The plates are mixed gently by hand and placed in Ziplok bags in a 35° C. incubator. The OD600 is measured at 24 and 48 hours. The lowest concentration of a compound that shows a significant reduction in fungal growth is recorded as the MIC and MIC-50 is the concentration of compound that shows 50% growth inhibition
