PEPTIDOMIMETIC PROTEASOME INHIBITORS

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to peptidomimetic proteasome inhibitors.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Proteasomes are highly conserved self-compartmentalizing proteases found in three kingdoms of life. A proteasome is a large, ATP-dependent, multi-subunit, barrel-shaped N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase present in the cytosol and nucleus of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the degradation of the majority of cellular proteins (Baumeister et al., “The Proteasome: Paradigm of a Self-Compartmentalizing Protease,” Cell 92(3):367-380 (1998); Goldberg A L., “Functions of the Proteasome:from Protein Degradation and Immune Surveillance to Cancer Therapy,” Biochem. Soc. Trans. 35(Pt 1):12-17 (2007)). Through regulated degradation, a proteasome regulates protein homeostasis, the cell cycle, signal transduction, protein trafficking, immune responses, etc, which are important cellular functions. Degradation product oligopeptides are reservoirs of antigenic peptides for MHC class I antigen presentation.

The 20S core that is constitutively expressed in most cells (c-20S) is a stack of 4 rings of 14 α and β subunits organized in a α_1-7β_1-7β_1-7α_1-7fashion, where 2 copies of each caspase-like β1, trypsin-like β2, and chymotrypsin-like β5 active subunits are located in the inner β rings (Baumeister, et al., “The Proteasome: Paradigm of a Self-Compartmentalizing Protease,” Cell 92:367-380 (1998)). The chymotrypsin-like β5 active subunits of the 20S have been clinically validated as a target for the treatment of multiple myeloma and certain lymphomas. Presently, there are three proteasome inhibitors that were approved by FDA: bortezomib, carfilzomib, and ixazomib: bortezomib and ixazomib are reversible peptide boronates and carfilzomib an irreversible peptide epoxyketone (Borissenko et al., “20S Proteasome and its Inhibitors: Crystallographic Knowledge for Drug Development,” Chem. Rev. 107:687-717 (2007); Parlati et al., Haematol-Hematol. J. 94:148-149 (2009); Huber et al., “Inhibitors for the Immuno- and Constitutive Proteasome: Current and Future Trends in Drug Development,” Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 51(35):8708-8720 (2012)).

Proteasome inhibition interrupts many cellular pathways, particularly, the NF-kB activation pathway, the induction of unfolded protein response, and ER stress, while strongly inducing apoptosis. For this reason, highly specific proteasome inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of hematological cancer. Proteasome inhibitors can also markedly limit the overall supply of peptides for MHC class I molecules and, thus, block antigen presentation (Rock et al., “Protein Degradation and the Generation of MHC Class I-Presented Peptides,” Adv. Immunol. 80:1-70 (2002)). As a result, proteasome inhibitors reduce immune response via multiple routes. Antibody-secreting plasma cells are highly sensitive to proteasome inhibition and BTZ, which inhibits both c-20S and i-20S, has been used in renal transplant recipients to prevent antibody-mediated graft rejection (Aull et al., Clin Transpl 495-498 (2009); Raghavan et al., “Bortezomib in Kidney Transplantation,” J. Transplant. 2010: 698594 (2010); Al-Homsi et al., “Effect of Novel Proteasome and Immunoproteasome Inhibitors on Dendritic Cell Maturation, Function, and Expression of Iκb and Nfκb,” Transpl. Immunol. 29:1-6 (2013); Pai et al., “Treatment of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease with Bortezomib,” Blood 124:1677-1688 (2014)). BTZ was also reported to be efficacious in patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (Alexander et al., “The Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib Depletes Plasma Cells and Ameliorates Clinical Manifestations of Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,” Ann. Rheum. Dis. 74:1474-1478 (2015).

Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), the most deadly of the human malarias, accounts for nearly 0.5 million deaths a year, primarily in children. The most important current therapies are combinations of artemisinins (ART). The emergence of ART resistant parasites (Ariey et al., “A Molecular Marker of Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria,” Nature 505(7481):50-55 (2014); Straimer et al., “K13-Propeller Mutations Confer Artemisinin Resistance in Plasmodium Falciparum Clinical Isolates,” Science 347(6220):428-431 (2015); Dogovski et al., “Targeting the Cell Stress Response of Plasmodium Falciparum to Overcome Artemisinin Resistance,” PLoS Biol. 13(4):e1002132 (2015); Mbengue et al., “A Molecular Mechanism of Artemisinin Resistance in Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria,” Nature 520(7549):683-687 (2015)) highlights the need for new antimalarials with novel targets (Wells T N et al., “Malaria Medicines: a Glass Half Full?” Nat. Rev. Drug Discov. 14(6):424-442 (2015)). Upregulation of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is important for survival of artemisinin-resistant parasites and emphasizes the importance of the UPS in parasite survival and its importance as a drug target moving forward (Dogovski et al., “Targeting the Cell Stress Response of Plasmodium Falciparum to Overcome Artemisinin Resistance,” PLoS Biol. 13(4):e1002132 (2015); Mok et al., “Drug Resistance. Population Transcriptomics of Human Malaria Parasites Reveals the Mechanism of Artemisinin Resistance,” Science 347(6220):431-435(2015)).

Proteasome inhibitors are known to kill malaria parasites in vitro and are efficacious against multiple parasite stages; peptide epoxyketone inhibitors, a peptide vinyl sulfone inhibitor, and a cyclic peptide inhibitor, have potent anti-malarial activities (Dogovski et al., “Targeting the Cell Stress Response of Plasmodium Falciparum to Overcome Artemisinin Resistance,” PLoS Biol. 13(4):e1002132 (2015); Featherstone C. “Proteasome Inhibitors in Development for Malaria,” Mol. Med. Today 3(9):367 (1997); Gantt et al., “Proteasome Inhibitors Block Development of Plasmodium Spp,” Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 42(10):2731-2738 (1948); Aminake et al., “The Proteasome of Malaria Parasites: A Multi-Stage Drug Target for Chemotherapeutic Intervention?” Int. J. Parasitol. Drugs Drug Resist. 2:1-10 (2012); Li et al., “Validation of the Proteasome as a Therapeutic Target in Plasmodium Using an Epoxyketone Inhibitor with Parasite-Specific Toxicity,” Chem. Biol. 19(12):1535-1545 (2012); Tschan et al., “Broad-Spectrum Antimalarial Activity of Peptido Sulfonyl Fluorides, a New Class of Proteasome Inhibitors,” Antimicrob.

Bortezomib (BTZ) and MLN-273 were effective against plasmodium in blood and liver stages (Lindenthal et al., “The Proteasome Inhibitor MLN-273 Blocks Exoerythrocytic and Erythrocytic Development of Plasmodium Parasites,” Parasitology 131(Pt 1):37-44 (2005); Reynolds et al., “Antimalarial Activity of the Anticancer and Proteasome Inhibitor Bortezomib and its Analog ZL3B,” BMC. Clin. Pharmacol. 7:13 (2007)); MG-132 against blood stage and gametocytes (Lindenthal et al., “The Proteasome Inhibitor MLN-273 Blocks Exoerythrocytic and Erythrocytic Development of Plasmodium Parasites,” Parasitology 131(Pt 1):37-44 (2005); Prudhomme et al., “Marine Actinomycetes: a New Source of Compounds Against the Human Malaria Parasite,” PLoS One 3(6):e2335 (2008)); epoxomicin against blood and liver stages and gametocytes (Aminake et al., “Thiostrepton and Derivatives Exhibit Antimalarial And Gametocytocidal Activity by Dually Targeting Parasite Proteasome and Apicoplast,” Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 55(4):1338-1348 (2011); Czesny et al., “The Proteasome Inhibitor Epoxomicin Has Potent Plasmodium Falciparum Gametocytocidal Activity,” Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 53(10):4080-4085 (2009); Kreidenweiss et al., “Comprehensive Study of Proteasome Inhibitors Against Plasmodium Falciparum Laboratory Strains and Field Isolates From Gabon,” Malar.

These inhibitors are in general not species selective. They are cytotoxic to host cells and unsuitable for treating malaria. There is an urgent need to develop Plasmodium spp. proteasome (Pf20S) selective inhibitors that target parasite proteasomes over human host proteasomes.

Species selective proteasome inhibitors have been reported (Hu et al., “Structure of the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Proteasome and Mechanism of Inhibition by a Peptidyl Boronate,” Mol. Microbiol. 59:1417-1428 (2006); Li et al., “Structural Basis for the Assembly and Gate Closure Mechanisms of the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis 20S Proteasome,” Embo.

Microbiol. 59:1405-1416 (2006); Lin et al., “Fellutamide B is a Potent Inhibitor of the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Proteasome,” Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 501:214-220 (2010); Lin et al., “Inhibitors Selective for Mycobacterial Versus Human Proteasomes,” Nature 461(7264):621-626 (2009); Lin et al., “Distinct Specificities of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis and Mammalian Proteasomes for N-Acetyl Tripeptide Substrates,” J. Biol. Chem. 283:34423-31 (2008)).

As shown by the above references, the proteasome represents an important target for therapeutic intervention of various disorders. Thus, there is an ongoing need for new and/or improved proteasome inhibitors.

The present invention is directed to overcoming these and other deficiencies in the art.

As used above, and throughout the description herein, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings. If not defined otherwise herein, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this technology belongs. In the event that there is a plurality of definitions for a term herein, those in this section prevail unless stated otherwise.

The term “alkyl” means an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may be straight or branched having about 1 to about 12 carbon atoms in the chain. Branched means that one or more lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl or propyl are attached to a linear alkyl chain. Exemplary alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, and 3-pentyl.

The term “cycloalkyl” means a non-aromatic mono- or multicyclic ring system of about 3 to about 12 carbon atoms, preferably of about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms. Exemplary monocyclic cycloalkyls include cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl, and the like.

The term “cycloalkylalkyl” means a cycloalkyl-alkyl-group in which the cycloalkyl and alkyl are as defined herein.

In the case of multicyclic ring system, only one of the rings needs to be aromatic for the ring system to be defined as “Heteroaryl”. Preferred heteroaryls contain about 5 to 6 ring atoms. The prefix aza, oxa, thia, or thio before heteroaryl means that at least a nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atom, respectively, is present as a ring atom. A nitrogen atom of a heteroaryl is optionally oxidized to the corresponding N-oxide. Representative heteroaryls include pyridyl, 2-oxo-pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, triazinyl, furanyl, pyrrolyl, thiophenyl, pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, indolinyl, 2-oxoindolinyl, dihydrobenzofuranyl, dihydrobenzothiophenyl, indazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzooxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoisoxazolyl, benzoisothiazolyl, benzotriazolyl, benzo[1,3]dioxolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, pthalazinyl, quinoxalinyl, 2,3-dihydro-benzo[1,4]dioxinyl, benzo[1,2,3]triazinyl, benzo[1,2,4]triazinyl, 4H-chromenyl, indolizinyl, quinolizinyl, 6aH-thieno[2,3-d]imidazolyl, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridinyl, imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl, pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridinyl, [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridinyl, [1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridinyl, thieno[2,3-b]furanyl, thieno[2,3 -b]pyridinyl, thieno[3,2-b]pyridinyl, furo[2,3 -b]pyridinyl, furo[3,2-b]pyridinyl, thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinyl, furo[3,2-d]pyrimidinyl, thieno[2,3-b]pyrazinyl, imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazinyl, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazinyl, 6,7-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[5,1-c][1,4]oxazinyl, 2-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzo[d]oxazolyl, 3,3-dimethyl-2-oxoindolinyl, 2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridinyl, benzo[c][1,2,5]oxadiazolyl, benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazolyl, 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazinyl, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazinyl, [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazinyl, 3-oxo-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-2(3H)-yl, and the like.

As used herein, “heterocyclyl” refers to a stable 3- to 18-membered ring (radical) which consists of carbon atoms and from one to five heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. For purposes of this application, the heterocycle may be a monocyclic, or a polycyclic ring system, which may include fused, bridged, or spiro ring systems; and the nitrogen, carbon, or sulfur atoms in the heterocycle may be optionally oxidized; the nitrogen atom may be optionally quaternized; and the ring may be partially or fully saturated. Examples of such heterocycles include, without limitation, azepinyl, azocanyl, pyranyl dioxanyl, dithianyl, 1,3-dioxolanyl, tetrahydrofuryl, dihydropyrrolidinyl, decahydroisoquinolyl, imidazolidinyl, isothiazolidinyl, isoxazolidinyl, morpholinyl, octahydroindolyl, octahydroisoindolyl, 2-oxopiperazinyl, 2-oxopiperidinyl, 2-oxopyrrolidinyl, 2-oxoazepinyl, oxazolidinyl, oxiranyl, piperidinyl, piperazinyl, 4-piperidonyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrazolidinyl, thiazolidinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, thiamorpholinyl, thiamorpholinyl sulfoxide, and thiamorpholinyl sulfone. Further heterocycles and heteroaryls are described in Katritzky et al., eds., Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry: The Structure, Reactions, Synthesis and Use of Heterocyclic Compounds, Vol. 1-8, Pergamon Press, N.Y. (1984), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The term “non-aromatic heterocycle” means a non-aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic system containing 3 to 10 atoms, preferably 4 to about 7 carbon atoms, in which one or more of the atoms in the ring system is/are element(s) other than carbon, for example, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur.

The term “monocyclic” used herein indicates a molecular structure having one ring.

The term “polycyclic” or “multi-cyclic” used herein indicates a molecular structure having two or more rings, including, but not limited to, fused, bridged, or spiro rings.

Terminology related to “protecting”, “deprotecting,” and “protected” functionalities occurs throughout this application. Such terminology is well understood by persons of skill in the art and is used in the context of processes which involve sequential treatment with a series of reagents. In that context, a protecting group refers to a group which is used to mask a functionality during a process step in which it would otherwise react, but in which reaction is undesirable. The protecting group prevents reaction at that step, but may be subsequently removed to expose the original functionality. The removal or “deprotection” occurs after the completion of the reaction or reactions in which the functionality would interfere. Thus, when a sequence of reagents is specified, as it is in the processes described herein, the person of ordinary skill can readily envision those groups that would be suitable as “protecting groups.” Suitable groups for that purpose are discussed in standard textbooks in the field of chemistry, such as Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1991), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

The term “alkoxy” means groups of from 1 to 12 carbon atoms of a straight, branched, or cyclic configuration and combinations thereof attached to the parent structure through an oxygen. Examples include methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, cyclopropyloxy, cyclohexyloxy, and the like. Lower-alkoxy refers to groups containing one to four carbons. For the purposes of the present patent application, alkoxy also includes methylenedioxy and ethylenedioxy in which each oxygen atom is bonded to the atom, chain, or ring from which the methylenedioxy or ethylenedioxy group is pendant so as to form a ring. Thus, for example, phenyl substituted by alkoxy may be, for example,

A compound with a hydroxy group drawn next to a nitrogen on a heterocycle can exist as the “keto” form. For example, 3-(2-hydroxy-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-6-yl)propanoic acid can exist as 3-(2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-6-yl)propanoic acid.

The term “halogen” means fluoro, chloro, bromo, or iodo.

The term “substituted” or “substitution” of an atom means that one or more hydrogen on the designated atom is replaced with a selection from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded.

“Unsubstituted” atoms bear all of the hydrogen atoms dictated by their valency. When a substituent is keto (i.e., ═O), then two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds; by “stable compound” or “stable structure” is meant a compound that is sufficiently robust to survive isolation to a useful degree of purity from a reaction mixture, and formulation into an efficacious therapeutic agent.

The term “optionally substituted” is used to indicate that a group may have a substituent at each substitutable atom of the group (including more than one substituent on a single atom), provided that the designated atom's normal valency is not exceeded and the identity of each substituent is independent of the others. Up to three H atoms in each residue are replaced with alkyl, halogen, haloalkyl, hydroxy, loweralkoxy, carboxy, carboalkoxy (also referred to as alkoxycarbonyl), carboxamido (also referred to as alkylaminocarbonyl), cyano, carbonyl, nitro, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, mercapto, alkylthio, sulfoxide, sulfone, acylamino, amidino, phenyl, benzyl, heteroaryl, phenoxy, benzyloxy, or heteroaryloxy.

The term “method of treating” means amelioration or relief from the symptoms and/or effects associated with the disorders described herein. As used herein, reference to “treatment” of a patient is intended to include prophylaxis.

The term “compounds of the invention”, and equivalent expressions, are meant to embrace compounds of general Formula (I), Formula (IA), Formula (IB), Formula (IC), Formula (I′), Formula (I′A), Formula (I′B), Formula (I′C), Formula (I′D), Formula (I′E), Formula (I′F), Formula (I′G), Formula (I′C′), Formula (I′D′), Formula (I′E′), Formula (I′F′), Formula (I′G′), and Formula (II) as hereinbefore described, which expression includes the prodrugs, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the solvates, e.g. hydrates, where the context so permits. Similarly, reference to intermediates, whether or not they themselves are claimed, is meant to embrace their salts, and solvates, where the context so permits. For the sake of clarity, particular instances when the context so permits are sometimes indicated in the text, but these instances are purely illustrative and it is not intended to exclude other instances when the context so permits.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” means the relatively non-toxic, inorganic, and organic acid addition salts, and base addition salts, of compounds of the present invention. These salts can be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds. In particular, acid addition salts can be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base form with a suitable organic or inorganic acid and isolating the salt thus formed. Exemplary acid addition salts include the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, phosphate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, borate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate, mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactiobionate, sulphamates, malonates, salicylates, propionates, methylene-bis-b-hydroxynaphthoates, gentisates, isethionates, di-p-toluoyltartrates, methane-sulphonates, ethanesulphonates, benzenesulphonates, p-toluenesulphonates, cyclohexylsulphamates and quinateslaurylsulphonate salts, and the like (see, for example, Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts,” J. Pharm. Sci., 66:1-9 (1977) and Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 17th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 1985, p. 1418, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety). Base addition salts can also be prepared by separately reacting the purified compound in its acid form with a suitable organic or inorganic base and isolating the salt thus formed. Base addition salts include pharmaceutically acceptable metal and amine salts. Suitable metal salts include the sodium, potassium, calcium, barium, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum salts. The sodium and potassium salts are preferred. Suitable inorganic base addition salts are prepared from metal bases which include, for example, sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, and zinc hydroxide. Suitable amine base addition salts are prepared from amines which have sufficient basicity to form a stable salt, and preferably include those amines which are frequently used in medicinal chemistry because of their low toxicity and acceptability for medical use, such as ammonia, ethylenediamine, N-methyl-glucamine, lysine, arginine, ornithine, choline, N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, diethanolamine, procaine, N-benzylphenethylamine, diethylamine, piperazine, tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, triethylarnine, dibenzylamine, ephenamine, dehydroabietylamine, N-ethylpiperidine, benzylamine, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, ethylamine, basic amino acids, e.g., lysine and arginine, dicyclohexylamine, and the like.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs” as used herein means those prodrugs of the compounds useful according to the present invention which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals with undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and the like, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio, and effective for their intended use, as well as the zwitterionic forms, where possible, of the compounds of the invention. The term “prodrug” means compounds that are rapidly transformed in vivo to yield the parent compound of the above formula, for example by hydrolysis in blood. Functional groups which may be rapidly transformed, by metabolic cleavage, in vivo form a class of groups reactive with the carboxyl group of the compounds of this invention. They include, but are not limited to, such groups as alkanoyl (such as acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, and the like), unsubstituted and substituted aroyl (such as benzoyl and substituted benzoyl), alkoxycarbonyl (such as ethoxycarbonyl), trialkylsilyl (such as trimethyl- and triethysilyl), monoesters formed with dicarboxylic acids (such as succinyl), and the like. Because of the ease with which the metabolically cleavable groups of the compounds useful according to this invention are cleaved in vivo, the compounds bearing such groups act as pro-drugs. The compounds bearing the metabolically cleavable groups have the advantage that they may exhibit improved bioavailability as a result of enhanced solubility and/or rate of absorption conferred upon the parent compound by virtue of the presence of the metabolically cleavable group. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in the following: Design of Prodrugs, H. Bundgaard, ed., Elsevier (1985); Methods in Enzymology, K. Widder et al, Ed., Academic Press, 42, p. 309-396 (1985); A Textbook of Drug Design and Development, Krogsgaard-Larsen and H.

A suitable solvent for therapeutic administration is physiologically tolerable at the dosage administered. Examples of suitable solvents for therapeutic administration are ethanol and water. When water is the solvent, the solvate is referred to as a hydrate. In general, solvates are formed by dissolving the compound in the appropriate solvent and isolating the solvate by cooling or using an antisolvent. The solvate is typically dried or azeotroped under ambient conditions.

The term “therapeutically effective amounts” is meant to describe an amount of compound of the present invention effective to produce the desired therapeutic effect. Such amounts generally vary according to a number of factors well within the purview of ordinarily skilled artisans given the description provided herein to determine and account for. These include, without limitation: the particular subject, as well as its age, weight, height, general physical condition, and medical history; the particular compound used, as well as the carrier in which it is formulated and the route of administration selected for it; and, the nature and severity of the condition being treated.

The term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I), Formula (IA), Formula (IB), Formula (IC), Formula (I′), Formula (I′A), Formula (I′B), Formula (I′C), Formula (I′D), Formula (I′E), Formula (I′F), Formula (I′G), Formula (I′C′), Formula (I′D′), Formula (I′E′), Formula (I′F′), Formula (I′G′), and Formula (II) and at least one component comprising pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, adjuvants, excipients, or vehicles, such as preserving agents, fillers, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, antibacterial agents, antifingal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms. Examples of suspending agents include ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, or mixtures of these substances. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, for example sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the use of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monosterate and gelatin. Examples of suitable carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols, suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Examples of excipients include lactose, milk sugar, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, and dicalcium phosphate. Examples of disintegrating agents include starch, alginic acids, and certain complex silicates. Examples of lubricants include magnesium stearate, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.

While it may be possible for compounds of Formula (I), Formula (IA), Formula (IB), Formula (IC), Formula (I′), Formula (I′A), Formula (PB), Formula (I′C), Formula (I′D), Formula (I′E), Formula (I′F), Formula (I′G), Formula (I′C′), Formula (I′D′), Formula (I′E′), Formula (I′F′), Formula (I′G′), and Formula (II), to be administered as raw chemicals, it will often be preferable to present them as a part of a pharmaceutical composition. Accordingly, another aspect of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of Formula (I), Formula (IA), Formula (IB), Formula (IC), Formula (I′), Formula (I′A), Formula (PB), Formula (I′C), Formula (I′D), Formula (I′E), Formula (I′F), Formula (I′G), Formula (I′C′), Formula (I′D′), Formula (I′E′), Formula (I′F′), Formula (I′G′), and Formula (II), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof.

In practicing the method of the present invention, agents suitable for treating a subject can be administered using any method standard in the art. The agents, in their appropriate delivery form, can be administered orally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, intravenously, subcutaneously, or intranasally. The compositions of the present invention may be administered alone or with suitable pharmaceutical carriers, and can be in solid or liquid form, such as tablets, capsules, powders, solutions, suspensions, or emulsions.

The agents of the present invention may be orally administered, for example, with an inert diluent, or with an assimilable edible carrier, or it may be enclosed in hard or soft shell capsules, or it may be compressed into tablets, or they may be incorporated directly with the food of the diet. Agents of the present invention may also be administered in a time release manner incorporated within such devices as time-release capsules or nanotubes. Such devices afford flexibility relative to time and dosage. For oral therapeutic administration, the agents of the present invention may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of the agent, although lower concentrations may be effective and indeed optimal. The percentage of the agent in these compositions may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of the unit. The amount of an agent of the present invention in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.

Also specifically contemplated are oral dosage forms of the agents of the present invention. The agents may be chemically modified so that oral delivery of the derivative is efficacious. Generally, the chemical modification contemplated is the attachment of at least one moiety to the component molecule itself, where said moiety permits (a) inhibition of proteolysis; and (b) uptake into the blood stream from the stomach or intestine. Also desired is the increase in overall stability of the component or components and increase in circulation time in the body. Examples of such moieties include: polyethylene glycol, copolymers of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, carboxymethyl cellulose, dextran, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyproline (Abuchowski and Davis, “Soluble Polymer-Enzyme Adducts,” In: Enzymes as Drugs, Hocenberg and Roberts, eds., Wiley-Interscience, New York, N.Y., pp. 367-383 (1981), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety). Other polymers that could be used are poly-1,3-dioxolane and poly-1,3,6-tioxocane. Preferred for pharmaceutical usage, as indicated above, are polyethylene glycol moieties.

The tablets, capsules, and the like may also contain a binder such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch, or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose, sucrulose, or saccharin. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil.

Various other materials may be present as coatings or to modify the physical form of the dosage unit. For instance, tablets may be coated with shellac, sugar, or both. A syrup may contain, in addition to active ingredient, sucrose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye, and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor.

The agents of the present invention may also be administered parenterally. Solutions or suspensions of the agent can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Illustrative oils are those of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, for example, peanut oil, soybean oil, or mineral oil. In general, water, saline, aqueous dextrose and related sugar solution, and glycols, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, are preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.

When it is desirable to deliver the agents of the present invention systemically, they may be formulated for parenteral administration by injection, e.g., by bolus injection or continuous infusion. Formulations for injection may be presented in unit dosage form, e.g., in ampoules or in multi-dose containers, with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents.

Intraperitoneal or intrathecal administration of the agents of the present invention can also be achieved using infusion pump devices such as those described by Medtronic, Northridge, Calif. Such devices allow continuous infusion of desired compounds avoiding multiple injections and multiple manipulations.

In addition to the formulations described previously, the agents may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt.

The agents of the present invention may also be administered directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol. For use as aerosols, the agent of the present invention in solution or suspension may be packaged in a pressurized aerosol container together with suitable propellants, for example, hydrocarbon propellants like propane, butane, or isobutane with conventional adjuvants. The agent of the present invention also may be administered in a non-pressurized form such as in a nebulizer or atomizer.

Effective doses of the compositions of the present invention, for the treatment of cancer or pathogen infection vary depending upon many different factors, including type and stage of cancer or the type of pathogen infection, means of administration, target site, physiological state of the patient, other medications or therapies administered, and physical state of the patient relative to other medical complications. Treatment dosages need to be titrated to optimize safety and efficacy.

The percentage of active ingredient in the compositions of the present invention may be varied, it being necessary that it should constitute a proportion such that a suitable dosage shall be obtained. Obviously, several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. The dose employed will be determined by the physician, and depends upon the desired therapeutic effect, the route of administration and the duration of the treatment, and the condition of the patient. In the adult, the doses are generally from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg body weight per day by inhalation, from about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.1 to 70 mg/kg body weight, more especially 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by oral administration, and from about 0.01 to about 50 mg/kg body weight, preferably 0.01 to 10 mg/kg body weight per day by intravenous administration. In each particular case, the doses will be determined in accordance with the factors distinctive to the subject to be treated, such as age, weight, general state of health, and other characteristics which can influence the efficacy of the medicinal product.

The products according to the present invention may be administered as frequently as necessary in order to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Some patients may respond rapidly to a higher or lower dose and may find much weaker maintenance doses adequate. For other patients, it may be necessary to have long-term treatments at the rate of 1 to 4 doses per day, in accordance with the physiological requirements of each particular patient. Generally, the active product may be administered orally 1 to 4 times per day. It goes without saying that, for other patients, it will be necessary to prescribe not more than one or two doses per day.

Example 144—IC₅₀Determination

Experiments to determine IC₅₀values against β5i and β5c for compounds were carried out in 96-well plates. In brief, 1 μL of compound in a 3× series dilution in DMSO at concentration ranging from 100 μM-0.0017 μM were spotted to the bottom of a black 96-well plate with solid bottom. 100 μL of reaction buffer (20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM EDTA, pH7.5, 0.1% BSA) containing enzyme (final concentration was 0.2 nM for c-20S, and 0.4 nM for i-20S) and substrate (25 μM for suc-LLVY-AMC for β5c and 15 μM for Ac-ANW-AMC) were dispensed into each well, and the plate was then spun at 1000× rpm for 1 minute and then shaked on a shaker for 1 minute. Time course of the hydrolysis of each well was followed by recording the fluorescence of product AMC (Ex 360 nm and Em 460 nm) on a SpectraMax M5 plate reader for 1.5-2 hours. Initial reaction velocity of each well was fit to a dose-dependent inhibition equation using PRISM to determine the IC₅₀. IC₅₀s were determined only for β5i and β5c (Table 2). SDS was used as activator for both enzymes at concentration 0.02%.
