One aspect of the invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising modulators of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR). 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 enhanced 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 322 of these identified mutations, with sufficient evidence to define 281 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 approximately 70% 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 approximately 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.
Accordingly, there is a need for novel treatments of CFTR mediated diseases.

A “CFTR gene mutation” refers to a mutation in the CFTR gene, and a “CFTR protein mutation” refers to a mutation in the CFTR protein. A genetic defect or mutation, or a change in the nucleotides in a gene in general results in a mutation in the CFTR protein translated from that gene, or a frame shift(s).
The term “F508del” refers to a mutant CFTR protein which is lacking the amino acid phenylalanine at position 508.
As used herein, a patient who is “homozygous” for a particular gene mutation has the same mutation on each allele.

As used herein, the term “XRPD” refers to the analytical characterization method of X-ray powder diffraction. XRPD patterns can be recorded at ambient conditions in transmission or reflection geometry using a diffractometer.
As used herein, the terms “X-ray powder diffractogram,” “X-ray powder diffraction pattern,” “XRPD pattern” interchangeably refer to an experimentally obtained pattern plotting signal positions (on the abscissa) versus signal intensities (on the ordinate). For an amorphous material, an X-ray powder diffractogram may include one or more broad signals; and for a crystalline material, an X-ray powder diffractogram may include one or more signals, each identified by its angular value as measured in degrees 2θ (°2θ), depicted on the abscissa of an X-ray powder diffractogram, which may be expressed as “a signal at . . . degrees two-theta,” “a signal at [a] two-theta value(s) of . . . ” and/or “a signal at at least . . . two-theta value(s) chosen from . . . .”
A “signal” or “peak” as used herein refers to a point in the XRPD pattern where the intensity as measured in counts is at a local. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that one or more signals (or peaks) in an XRPD pattern may overlap and may, for example, not be apparent to the naked eye. Indeed, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that some art-recognized methods are capable of and suitable for determining whether a signal exists in a pattern, such as Rietveld refinement.
As used herein, “a signal at . . . degrees two-theta,” “a signal at [a] two-theta value[ ] of . . . ” and/or “a signal at at least . . . two-theta value(s) chosen from . . . ” refer to X-ray reflection positions as measured and observed in X-ray powder diffraction experiments (°2θ).
The repeatability of the angular values is in the range of ±0.2° 2θ, i.e., the angular value can be at the recited angular value +0.2 degrees two-theta, the angular value −0.2 degrees two-theta, or any value between those two end points (angular value +0.2 degrees two-theta and angular value −0.2 degrees two-theta).
The terms “signal intensities” and “peak intensities” interchangeably refer to relative signal intensities within a given X-ray powder diffractogram. Factors that can affect the relative signal or peak intensities include sample thickness and preferred orientation (e.g., the crystalline particles are not distributed randomly).
The term “X-ray powder diffractogram having a signal at . . . two-theta values” as used herein refers to an XRPD pattern that contains X-ray reflection positions as measured and observed in X-ray powder diffraction experiments (°2θ).
As used herein, an X-ray powder diffractogram is “substantially similar to that in [a particular] Figure” when at least 90%, such as at least 95%, at least 98%, or at least 99%, of the signals in the two diffractograms overlap. In determining “substantial similarity,” one of ordinary skill in the art will understand that there may be variation in the intensities and/or signal positions in XRPD diffractograms even for the same crystalline form. Thus, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the signal maximum values in XRPD diffractograms (in degrees two-theta (°2θ) referred to herein) generally mean that value reported ±0.2 degrees 2θ of the reported value, an art-recognized variance.
As used herein, a crystalline form is “substantially pure” when it accounts for an amount by weight equal to or greater than 90% of the sum of all solid form(s) in a sample as determined by a method in accordance with the art, such as quantitative XRPD. In some embodiments, the solid form is “substantially pure” when it accounts for an amount by weight equal to or greater than 95% of the sum of all solid form(s) in a sample. In some embodiments, the solid form is “substantially pure” when it accounts for an amount by weight equal to or greater than 99% of the sum of all solid form(s) in a sample.
As used herein, the term “amorphous” refers to a solid material having no long range order in the position of its molecules. Amorphous solids are generally supercooled liquids in which the molecules are arranged in a random manner so that there is no well-defined arrangement, e.g., molecular packing, and no long range order. For example, an amorphous material is a solid material having no sharp characteristic crystalline peak(s) in its X-ray power diffraction (XRPD) pattern (i.e., is not crystalline as determined by XRPD). Instead, one or more broad peaks (e.g., halos) appear in its XRPD pattern. Broad peaks are characteristic of an amorphous solid. See, e.g., US 2004/0006237 for a comparison of XRPDs of an amorphous material and crystalline material.
As used herein, the term “substantially amorphous” refers to a solid material having little or no long range order in the position of its molecules. For example, substantially amorphous materials have less than 15% crystallinity (e.g., less than 10% crystallinity or less than 5% crystallinity). It is also noted that the term ‘substantially amorphous’ includes the descriptor, ‘amorphous’, which refers to materials having no (0%) crystallinity.
As used herein, the term “dispersion” refers to a disperse system in which one substance, the dispersed phase, is distributed, in discrete units, throughout a second substance (the continuous phase or vehicle). The size of the dispersed phase can vary considerably (e.g. colloidal particles of nanometer dimension, to multiple microns in size). In general, the dispersed phases can be solids, liquids, or gases. In the case of a solid dispersion, the dispersed and continuous phases are both solids. In pharmaceutical applications, a solid dispersion can include a crystalline drug (dispersed phase) in an amorphous polymer (continuous phase); or alternatively, an amorphous drug (dispersed phase) in an amorphous polymer (continuous phase). In some embodiments, a solid dispersion includes the polymer constituting the dispersed phase, and the drug constituting the continuous phase. Or, a solid dispersion includes the drug constituting the dispersed phase, and the polymer constituting the continuous phase.
The terms “patient” and “subject” are used interchangeably and refer to an animal including humans.
The terms “effective dose” and “effective amount” are used interchangeably herein and refer to that amount of a compound that produces the desired effect for which it is administered (e.g., improvement in CF or a symptom of CF, or lessening the severity of CF or a symptom of CF). The exact amount of an effective dose will depend on the purpose of the treatment, and will be ascertainable by one skilled in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lloyd (1999) The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding).
As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treating,” and the like generally mean the improvement of CF or its symptoms or lessening the severity of CF or its symptoms in a subject. “Treatment,” as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, the following: increased growth of the subject, increased weight gain, reduction of mucus in the lungs, improved pancreatic and/or liver function, reduction of chest infections, and/or reductions in coughing or shortness of breath. Improvements in or lessening the severity of any of these symptoms can be readily assessed according to standard methods and techniques known in the art.
As used herein, the term “in combination with,” when referring to two or more compounds, agents, or additional active pharmaceutical ingredients, means the administration of two or more compounds, agents, or active pharmaceutical ingredients to the patient prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to each other.
The term “approximately”, when used in connection with doses, amounts, or weight percent of ingredients of a composition or a dosage form, include the value of a specified dose, amount, or weight percent or a range of the dose, amount, or weight percent that is recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art to provide a pharmacological effect equivalent to that obtained from the specified dose, amount, or weight percent.
Disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a first solid dispersion and a second solid dispersion, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises
(a) 25 mg to 250 mg of Compound I:
(b) a first solid dispersion comprising 20 mg to 150 mg of Compound II:
In some embodiments, each of Compound II and Compound III-d is independently substantially amorphous. In some embodiments, each of Compound II and Compound III-d is independently crystalline. In some embodiments, each of Compound II and Compound III-d or Compound III is independently a mixture of forms (crystalline and/or amorphous).
Solid Dispersions
In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions (e.g., tablets) disclosed herein comprise a first solid dispersion comprising Compound II and a second solid dispersion comprising Compound III-d or Compound III.
In some embodiments, each of the first and second solid dispersions independently comprise a plurality of particles having a mean particle diameter of 5 to 100 microns. In some embodiments, each of the first and second solid dispersions independently comprise a plurality of particles having a mean particle diameter of 15 to 40 microns. In some embodiments, each of the first and second solid dispersions independently comprise a plurality of particles having a mean particle diameter of 15 microns.
In some embodiments, the first solid dispersions and the first spray dried dispersions of the disclosure independently comprise substantially amorphous Compound II. In some embodiments, the second solid dispersions and the second spray dried dispersions of the disclosure independently comprises substantially amorphous Compound III-d or Compound III.
In some embodiments, the solid dispersions and the spray dried dispersions of the disclosure can comprise other excipients, such as polymers and/or surfactants. Any suitable polymers and surfactants known in the art can be used in the disclosure. Certain exemplary polymers and surfactants are as described below.
Solid dispersions of any one of Compounds II, III-d, or III may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, e.g., spray drying, lyophilizing, hot melting, or cyrogrounding/cryomilling techniques. For example, see WO2015/160787. Typically such spray drying, lyophilizing, hot melting or cyrogrounding/cryomilling techniques generates an amorphous form of API (e.g., Compounds II, III-d, or III).
Spray drying is a process that converts a liquid feed to a dried particulate form. Optionally, a secondary drying process such as fluidized bed drying or vacuum drying may be used to reduce residual solvents to pharmaceutically acceptable levels. Typically, spray drying involves contacting a highly dispersed liquid suspension or solution, and a sufficient volume of hot gas to produce evaporation and drying of the liquid droplets. The preparation to be spray dried can be any solution, coarse suspension, slurry, colloidal dispersion, or paste that may be atomized using the selected spray drying apparatus. In one procedure, the preparation is sprayed into a current of warm filtered gas that evaporates the solvent and conveys the dried product to a collector (e.g. a cyclone). The spent gas is then exhausted with the solvent, or alternatively the spent air is sent to a condenser to capture and potentially recycle the solvent. Commercially available types of apparatus may be used to conduct the spray drying. For example, commercial spray dryers are manufactured by Buchi Ltd. And Niro (e.g., the PSD line of spray driers manufactured by Niro) (see, US 2004/0105820; US 2003/0144257).
Techniques and methods for spray drying may be found in Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook, 6th Ed., R. H. Perry, D. W. Green & J. O. Maloney, eds.), McGraw-Hill book co. (1984); and Marshall “Atomization and Spray-Drying” 50, Chem. Eng. Prog. Monogr. Series 2 (1954).
Removal of the solvent may require a subsequent drying step, such as tray drying, fluid bed drying, vacuum drying, microwave drying, rotary drum drying or biconical vacuum drying.
In one embodiment, the solid dispersions and the spray dried dispersions of the disclosure are fluid bed dried.
In one process, the solvent includes a volatile solvent, for example a solvent having a boiling point of less than 100° C. In some embodiments, the solvent includes a mixture of solvents, for example a mixture of volatile solvents or a mixture of volatile and non-volatile solvents. Where mixtures of solvents are used, the mixture can include one or more non-volatile solvents, for example, where the non-volatile solvent is present in the mixture at less than 15%, e.g., less than 12%, less than 10%, less than 8%, less than 5%, less than 3%, or less than 2%.
In some processes, solvents are those solvents where the API(s) (e.g., Compound II and/or Compound III-d and/or Compound III) has solubilities of at least 10 mg/ml, (e.g., at least 15 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 25 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml, 35 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml, 45 mg/ml, 50 mg/ml, or greater). In other processes, solvents include those solvents where the API(s) (e.g., Compound II and/or Compound III-d and/or Compound III) has a solubility of at least 20 mg/ml.
Exemplary solvents that could be tested include acetone, cyclohexane, dichloromethane or methylene chloride (DCM), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), dioxane, ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, glacial acetic acid (HAc), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tetrahydrofuran (THF), pentane, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, isopropyl acetate, and toluene. Exemplary co-solvents include DCM/methanol, acetone/DMSO, acetone/DMF, acetone/water, MEK/water, THF/water, dioxane/water. In a two solvent system, the solvents can be present from 0.1% to 99.9% w/w. In some preferred embodiments, water is a co-solvent with acetone where water is present from 0.1% to 15%, for example 9% to 11%, e.g., 10%. In some preferred embodiments, water is a co-solvent with MEK where water is present from 0.1% to 15%, for example 9% to 11%, e.g., 10%. In some embodiments the solvent system includes three solvents. Certain exemplary solvents include those described above, for example, MEK, DCM, water, methanol, IPA, and mixtures thereof.
The particle size and the temperature drying range may be modified to prepare an optimal solid dispersion. As would be appreciated by skilled practitioners, a small particle size would lead to improved solvent removal. Applicants have found however, that smaller particles may result in low bulk density that, under some circumstances do not provide optimal solid dispersions for downstream processing such as tableting.
A solid dispersion (e.g., a spray dried dispersion) disclosed herein may optionally include a surfactant. A surfactant or surfactant mixture would generally decrease the interfacial tension between the solid dispersion and an aqueous medium. An appropriate surfactant or surfactant mixture may also enhance aqueous solubility and bioavailability of the API(s) (e.g., Compound II and/or Compound III-d and/or Compound III) from a solid dispersion. The surfactants for use in connection with the disclosure include, but are not limited to, sorbitan fatty acid esters (e.g., Spans®), polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (e.g., Tweens®), sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (Docusate sodium), dioxycholic acid sodium salt (DOSS), Sorbitan Monostearate, Sorbitan Tristearate, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB), Sodium N-lauroylsarcosine, Sodium Oleate, Sodium Myristate, Sodium Stearate, Sodium Palmitate, Gelucire 44/14, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), Vitamin E d-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS), Lecithin, Glutanic acid monosodium monohydrate, Labrasol, PEG 8 caprylic/capric glycerides, Transcutol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, Solutol HS-15, polyethylene glycol/hydroxystearate, Taurocholic Acid, Pluronic F68, Pluronic F108, and Pluronic F127 (or any other polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene co-polymers (Pluronics®) or saturated polyglycolized glycerides (Gelucirs®)). Specific examples of such surfactants that may be used in connection with this disclosure include, but are not limited to, Span 65, Span 25, Tween 20, Capryol 90, Pluronic F108, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), Vitamin E TPGS, pluronics and copolymers.
In some embodiments, SLS is used as a surfactant in the solid dispersion of Compound III-d and/or III.
The amount of the surfactant (e.g., SLS) relative to the total weight of the solid dispersion may be between 0.1-15% w/w. For example, it is from 0.5% to 10%, such as from 0.5 to 5%, e.g., 0.5 to 4%, 0.5 to 3%, 0.5 to 2%, 0.5 to 1%, or 0.5%.
In certain embodiments, the amount of the surfactant relative to the total weight of the solid dispersion is at least 0.1% or at least 0.5%. In these embodiments, the surfactant would be present in an amount of no more than 15%, or no more than 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2% or 1%. In some embodiments, the surfactant is in an amount of 0.5% by weight.

In other examples, the solvent further comprises water. For instance, the solvent could be methylethyl ketone/water, THF/water, or methylethyl ketone/water/IPA. For example, the ratio of the polar organic solvent to water is from 70:30 to 95:5 by volume. In other instances, the ratio of the polar organic solvent to water is 90:10 by volume.
Some embodiments further comprise filtering the mixture before it is forced through the nozzle. Such filtering can be accomplished using any suitable filter media having a suitable pore size.
Some embodiments further comprise applying heat to the mixture as it enters the nozzle. This heating can be accomplished using any suitable heating element.
In some embodiments, the nozzle comprises an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet is heated to a temperature that is less than the boiling point of the solvent.
In some embodiments, the mixture is forced through the nozzle by a pressurized gas. Examples of suitable pressurized gases include those pressurized gas that are inert to the first agent, the second agent, and the solvent. In one example, the pressurized gas comprises elemental nitrogen.
In some embodiments, the pressurized gas has a positive pressure of from 90 psi to 150 psi.
In some embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable composition of the disclosure comprising substantially amorphous API(s) (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, and Compound III) may be prepared by non-spray drying techniques, such as, for example, cyrogrounding/cryomilling techniques. A composition comprising substantially amorphous API(s) (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, and Compound III) may also be prepared by hot melt extrusion techniques.
In some embodiments, the solid dispersions (e.g., spray dried dispersions) of the disclosure comprise a polymer(s). Any suitable polymers known in the art can be used in the disclosure. Exemplary suitable polymers include polymers selected from cellulose-based polymers, polyoxyethylene-based polymers, polyethylene-propylene glycol copolymers, vinyl-based polymers, PEO-polyvinyl caprolactam-based polymers, and polymethacrylate-based polymers.
The cellulose-based polymers include a methylcellulose, a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (hypromellose), a hypromellose phthalate (HPMC-P), a hypromellose acetate succinate, and co-polymers thereof. The polyoxyethylene-based polymers include a polyethylene-propylene glycol, a polyethylene glycol, a poloxamer, and co-polymers thereof. The vinyl-based polymers include a polyvinylpyrrolidine (PVP), and PVP/VA. The PEO-polyvinyl caprolactam-based polymers include a polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl acetate and polyvinylcaprolactame-based graft copolymer (e.g., Soluplus®). The polymethacrylate-based polymers are synthetic cationic and anionic polymers of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylates, methacrylic acid, and methacrylic acid esters in varying ratios. Several types are commercially available and may be obtained as the dry powder, aqueous dispersion, or organic solution. Examples of such polymethacrylate-based polymers include a poly(methacrylic acid, ethyl acrylate) (1:1), a dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-methylmethacrylate copolymer, and an Eudragit®.
In some embodiments, the cellulose-based polymer is a hypromellose acetate succinate (also known as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate or HMPCAS) and a hypromellose (also known as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or HPMC), or a combination of hypromellose acetate succinate and a hypromellose. HPMCAS is available in various grades based on the content of acetyl and succinoyl groups (wt %) in the HPMCAS molecule and on particle size. For example, HPMCAS grades L, M, and H are available. HPMCAS-H is a grade that contains about 10-14 wt % of acetyl groups and about 4-8 wt % of succinoyl groups. Each HPMCAS grade is available in two particle sizes, F (fine) and G (granular). HPMC comes in various types (for example, HPMC E, F, J, and K-types). HPMC E type means that there are about 28-30% methoxy groups and about 7-12% hydroxypropoxy groups. There are various E grades ranging from low to high viscosity. For example, E3 means the viscosity is about 2.4-3.6 millipascal seconds (mPa·s) for HPMC measured at 2% in water at 20° C.; E15 means the viscosity is about 12-18 mPa·s for the HPMC measured at 2% in water at 20° C.; and E50 means the viscosity is about 40-60 mPa·s for the HPMC measured at 2% in water at 20° C.
In some embodiments, the cellulose-based polymer is a hypromellose acetate succinate and a hypromellose, or a combination of hypromellose acetate succinate and a hypromellose.
In some embodiments, the cellulose-based polymer is hypromellose E15, hypromellose acetate succinate L or hypromellose acetate succinate H.
In some embodiments, the polyoxyethylene-based polymer or polyethylene-propylene glycol copolymer is a polyethylene glycol or a pluronic.
In some embodiments, the polyoxyethylene-based polymer or polyethylene-propylene glycol copolymer is polyethylene glycol 3350 or poloxamer 407.
In some embodiments, the vinyl-based polymer is a vinylpolyvinylpyrrolidine-based polymer, such as polyvinylpyrrolidine K30 or polyvinylpyrrolidine VA 64.
In some embodiments, the polymethacrylate polymer is Eudragit L100-55 or Eudragit® E PO.
In some embodiments, the polymer(s) is selected from cellulosic polymers such as HPMC and/or HPMCAS.
In one embodiment, a polymer is able to dissolve in aqueous media. The solubility of the polymers may be pH independent or pH dependent. The latter include one or more enteric polymers. The term “enteric polymer” refers to a polymer that is preferentially soluble in the less acidic environment of the intestine relative to the more acid environment of the stomach, for example, a polymer that is insoluble in acidic aqueous media but soluble when the pH is above 5-6. An appropriate polymer is chemically and biologically inert. In order to improve the physical stability of the solid dispersions, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer is as high as possible. For example, polymers that have a glass transition temperature at least equal to or greater than the glass transition temperature of the API. Other polymers have a glass transition temperature that is within 10 to 15° C. of the API.
Additionally, the hygroscopicity of the polymers is as low, e.g., less than 10%. For the purpose of comparison in this application, the hygroscopicity of a polymer or composition is characterized at 60% relative humidity. In some preferred embodiments, the polymer has less than 10% water absorption, for example less than 9%, less than 8%, less than 7%, less than 6%, less than 5%, less than 4%, less than 3%, or less than 2% water absorption. The hygroscopicity can also affect the physical stability of the solid dispersions. Generally, moisture adsorbed in the polymers can greatly reduce the Tg of the polymers as well as the resulting solid dispersions, which will further reduce the physical stability of the solid dispersions as described above.
In one embodiment, the polymer is one or more water-soluble polymer(s) or partially water-soluble polymer(s). Water-soluble or partially water-soluble polymers include but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives (e.g., hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC)) or ethylcellulose; polyvinylpyrrolidones (PVP); polyethylene glycols (PEG); polyvinyl alcohols (PVA); acrylates, such as polymethacrylate (e.g., Eudragit® E); cyclodextrins (e.g., β-cyclodextrin) and copolymers and derivatives thereof, including for example PVP-VA (polyvinylpyrollidone-vinyl acetate).
In some embodiments, the polymer is hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), such as HPMC E50, HPMC E15, or HPMC E3.
As discussed herein, the polymer can be a pH-dependent enteric polymer. Such pH-dependent enteric polymers include, but are not limited to, cellulose derivatives (e.g., cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP)), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalates (HPMCP), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or a salt thereof (e.g., a sodium salt such as (CMC-Na)); cellulose acetate trimellitate (CAT), hydroxypropylcellulose acetate phthalate (HPCAP), hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose acetate phthalate (HPMCAP), and methylcellulose acetate phthalate (MCAP), or polymethacrylates (e.g., Eudragit® S). In some embodiments, the polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS). In some embodiments, the polymer is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate HG grade (HPMCAS-HG).
In yet another embodiment, the polymer is a polyvinylpyrrolidone co-polymer, for example, a vinylpyrrolidone/vinyl acetate co-polymer (PVP/VA).
In embodiments where Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III forms a solid dispersion with a polymer, for example with an HPMC, HPMCAS, or PVP/VA polymer, the amount of polymer relative to the total weight of the solid dispersion ranges from 0.1% to 99% by weight. Unless otherwise specified, percentages of drug, polymer and other excipients as described within a dispersion are given in weight percentages. The amount of polymer is typically at least 20%, and preferably at least 30%, for example, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, or 50% (e.g., 49.5%). The amount is typically 99% or less, and preferably 80% or less, for example 75% or less, 70% or less, 65% or less, 60% or less, or 55% or less. In one embodiment, the polymer is in an amount of up to 50% of the total weight of the dispersion (and even more specifically, between 40% and 50%, such as 49%, 49.5%, or 50%).
In some embodiments, the API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III) and polymer are present in roughly equal amounts in weight, for example each of the polymer and the drug make up half of the percentage weight of the dispersion. For example, the polymer is present in 49.5 wt % and Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III is present in 50 wt %. In another embodiment Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III is present in an amount greater than half of the percentage weight of the dispersions. For example, the polymer is present in 20 wt % and Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III is present in 80 wt %. In other embodiments, the polymer is present in 19.5 wt % and Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III is present in 80 wt %.
In some embodiments, the API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III) and the polymer combined represent 1% to 20% w/w total solid content of the spray drying solution prior to spray drying. In some embodiments, Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III, and the polymer combined represent 5% to 15% w/w total solid content of the spray drying solution prior to spray drying. In some embodiments, Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III and the polymer combined represent 11% w/w total solid content of the spray drying solution prior to spray drying.
In some embodiments, the dispersion further includes other minor ingredients, such as a surfactant (e.g., SLS). In some embodiments, the surfactant is present in less than 10% of the dispersion, for example less than 9%, less than 8%, less than 7%, less than 6%, less than 5%, less than 4%, less than 3%, less than 2%, 1%, or 0.5%.
In embodiments including a polymer, the polymer is present in an amount effective for stabilizing the solid dispersion. Stabilizing includes inhibiting or preventing, the crystallization of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III). Such stabilizing would inhibit the conversion of the API from amorphous to crystalline form. For example, the polymer would prevent at least a portion (e.g., 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, or greater) of the API from converting from an amorphous to a crystalline form. Stabilization can be measured, for example, by measuring the glass transition temperature of the solid dispersion, measuring the amount of crystalline material, measuring the rate of relaxation of the amorphous material, or by measuring the solubility or bioavailability of the API.
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure have a glass transition temperature of no less than 10-15° C. lower than the glass transition temperature of API. In some instances, the glass transition temperature of the polymer is greater than the glass transition temperature of API, and in general at least 50° C. higher than the desired storage temperature of the drug product. For example, at least 100° C., at least 105° C., at least 105° C., at least 110° C., at least 120° C., at least 130° C., at least 140° C., at least 150° C., at least
160° C., at least 160° C., or greater.
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure have similar or better solubility in solvents suitable for spray drying processes relative to that of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III). In some embodiments, the polymer will dissolve in one or more of the same solvents or solvent systems as the API.
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure can increase the solubility of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III) in aqueous and physiologically relative media either relative to the solubility of the API in the absence of polymer or relative to the solubility of the API when combined with a reference polymer. For example, the polymers can increase the solubility of Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III by reducing the amount of amorphous Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III that converts to a crystalline form(s), either from a solid amorphous dispersion or from a liquid suspension.
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure can decrease the relaxation rate of the amorphous substance.
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure can increase the physical and/or chemical stability of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III).
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure can improve the manufacturability of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III).
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure can improve one or more of the handling, administration or storage properties of an API (e.g., Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III).
In some embodiments, the polymers for use in the disclosure have little or no unfavorable interaction with other pharmaceutical components, for example excipients.
The suitability of a candidate polymer (or other component) can be tested using the spray drying methods (or other methods) described herein to form an amorphous composition. The candidate composition can be compared in terms of stability, resistance to the formation of crystals, or other properties, and compared to a reference preparation, e.g., a preparation of neat amorphous Compound I, Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III. For example, a candidate composition could be tested to determine whether it inhibits the time to onset of solvent mediated crystallization, or the percent conversion at a given time under controlled conditions, by at least 50%, 75%, or 100% as well as the reference preparation, or a candidate composition could be tested to determine if it has improved bioavailability or solubility relative to crystalline Compound I, Compound II, Compound III-d, or Compound III.

In some embodiments, solid forms, including powders comprising one or more APIs (e.g., Compound I, Compound II, Compound III-d and/or Compound III) and the included pharmaceutically acceptable excipients (e.g. filler, diluent, disintegrant, surfactant, glidant, binder, lubricant, or any combination thereof) can be subjected to a dry granulation process. The dry granulation process causes the powder to agglomerate into larger particles having a size suitable for further processing. Dry granulation can improve the flowability of a mixture to produce tablets that comply with the demand of mass variation or content uniformity.
In some embodiments, formulations can be produced using one or more mixing and dry granulations steps. The order and the number of the mixing by granulation. At least one of the excipients and the API(s) can be subject to dry granulation or wet high shear granulation or twin screw wet granulation before compression into tablets. Dry granulation can be carried out by a mechanical process, which transfers energy to the mixture without any use of any liquid substances (neither in the form of aqueous solutions, solutions based on organic solutes, or mixtures thereof) in contrast to wet granulation processes, also contemplated herein. Generally, the mechanical process requires compaction such as the one provided by roller compaction. An example of an alternative method for dry granulation is slugging. In some embodiments, wet granulations instead of the dry granulation can be used.
In some embodiments, roller compaction is a granulation process comprising mechanical compacting of one or more substances. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an admixture of powders is pressed, that is roller compacted, between two rotating rollers to make a solid sheet that is subsequently crushed in a sieve to form a particulate matter. In this particulate matter, a close mechanical contact between the ingredients can be obtained. An example of roller compaction equipment is Minipactor® a Gerteis 3W-Polygran from Gerteis Maschinen+Processengineering AG.
In some embodiments, tablet compression according to the disclosure can occur without any use of any liquid substances (neither in the form of aqueous solutions, solutions based on organic solutes, or mixtures thereof), i.e., a dry granulation process. In a typical embodiment the resulting core or tablet has a tensile strength in the range of from 0.5 MPa to 3.0 MPa; such as 1.0 to 2.5 MPa, such as in the range of 1.5 to 2.0 MPa.
In some embodiments, the ingredients are weighed according to the formula set herein. Next, all of the intragranular ingredients are sifted and mixed well. The ingredients can be lubricated with a suitable lubricant, for example, magnesium stearate. The next step can comprise compaction/slugging of the powder admixture and sized ingredients. Next, the compacted or slugged blends are milled into granules and may optionally be sifted to obtain the desired size. Next, the granules can be further blended or lubricated with, for example, magnesium stearate. Next, the granular composition of the disclosure can be compressed on suitable punches into various pharmaceutical formulations in accordance with the disclosure. Optionally the tablets can be coated with a film coat.
Another aspect of the disclosure provides a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising an admixture of a composition comprising one or more APIs (e.g., Compound I, Compound II, Compound III-d and/or Compound III); and one or more excipients selected from: one or more fillers, a diluent, a binder, a glidant, a surfactant, a lubricant, a disintegrant, and compressing the composition into a tablet.

A chemical name for Compound IV is 3-(6-(1-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamido)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid.
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.
In some embodiments, disclosed herein methods of treating, lessening the severity of, or symptomatically treating cystic fibrosis in a patient comprising administering an effective amount of a compound, pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a deuterated analog of any of the foregoing; or a pharmaceutical composition, of this disclosure to a patient, such as a human, wherein said patient has cystic fibrosis. 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.
As used herein, “minimal function (MF) mutations” refer to CFTR gene mutations associated with minimal CFTR function (little-to-no functioning CFTR protein) and include, for example, mutations associated with severe defects in ability of the CFTR channel to open and close, known as defective channel gating or “gating mutations”; mutations associated with severe defects in the cellular processing of CFTR and its delivery to the cell surface; mutations associated with no (or minimal) CFTR synthesis; and mutations associated with severe defects in channel conductance. Table C below includes a non-exclusive list of CFTR minimal function mutations, which are detectable by an FDA-cleared genotyping assay. In some embodiments, a mutation is considered a MF mutation if it meets at least 1 of the following 2 criteria:
In some embodiments, the minimal function mutations are those that result in little-to-no functioning CFTR protein and are not responsive in vitro to Compound II, Compound III, or the combination of Compound II and Compound III.
In some embodiments, the minimal function mutations are those that are not responsive in vitro to Compound II, Compound III, or the combination of Compound II and Compound III. In some embodiments, the minimal function mutations are mutations based on in vitro testing met the following criteria in in vitro experiments:
In some embodiments, patients with at least one minimal function mutation exhibit evidence of clinical severity as defined as:
Patients with an F508del/minimal function genotype are defined as patients that are heterozygous F508del-CFTR with a second CFTR allele containing a minimal function mutation. In some embodiments, patients with an F508del/minimal function genotype are patients that are heterozygous F508del-CFTR with a second CFTR allele containing a mutation that results in a CFTR protein with minimal CFTR function (little-to-no functioning CFTR protein) and that is not responsive in vitro to Compound II, Compound III, or the combination of Compound II and Compound III.
In some embodiments, minimal function mutations can be determined using 3 major sources:
As used herein, a “residual function mutations” refer to are Class II through V mutations that have some residual chloride transport and result in a less severe clinical phenotype. Residual function mutations are mutation in the CFTR gene that result in reduced protein quantity or function at the cell surface which can produce partial CFTR activity.
Non-limiting examples of CFTR gene mutations known to result in a residual function phenotype include a CFTR residual function mutation selected from 2789+5G→A, 3849+1 OkbC→T, 3272-26A→G, 711+3A→G, E56K, P67L, R74W, DllOE, DllOH, R117C, L206W, R347H, R352Q, A455E, D579G, E831X, S945L, S977F, F1052V, R1070W, F1074L, Dl 152H, D1270N, El93K, and Kl060T. For example, CFTR mutations that cause defective mRNA splicing, such as 2789+507 A, result in reduced protein synthesis, but deliver some functional CFTR to the surface of the cell to provide residual function. Other CFTR mutations that reduce conductance and/or gating, such as Rl 17H, result in a normal quantity of CFTR channels at the surface of the cell, but the functional level is low, resulting in residual function. In some embodiments, the CFTR residual function mutation is selected from R117H, S1235R, I1027T, R668C, G576A, M470V, L997F, R75Q, R1070Q, R31C, D614G, G1069R, R1162L, E56K, A1067T, E193K, and K1060T. In some embodiments, the CFTR residual function mutation is selected from R117H, S1235R, I1027T, R668C, G576A, M470V, L997F, R75Q, R1070Q, R31C, D614G, G1069R, R1162L, E56K, and A1067T.
Residual CFTR function can be characterized at the cellular (in vitro) level using cell based assays, such as an FRT assay (Van Goar, F. et al. (2009) PNAS Vol. 106, No. 44, 18825-18830; and Van Goor, F. et al. (2011) PNAS Vol. 108, No. 46, 18843-18846), to measure the amount of chloride transport through the mutated CFTR channels. Residual function mutations result in a reduction but not complete elimination of CFTR dependent ion transport. In some embodiments, residual function mutations result in at least about 10% reduction of CFTR activity in an FRT assay. In some embodiments, the residual function mutations result in up to about 90% reduction in CFTR activity in an FRT assay.
Patients with an F508del/residual function genotype are defined as patients that are heterozygous F508del-CFTR with a second CFTR allele that contains a mutation that results in reduced protein quantity or function at the cell surface which can produce partial CFTR activity.
Patients with an F508del/gating mutation genotype are defined as patients that are heterozygous F508del-CFTR with a second CFTR allele that contains a mutation associated with a gating defect and clinically demonstrated to be responsive to Compound III. Examples of such mutations include: G178R, S549N, S549R, G551D, G551S, G1244E, S1251N, S1255P, and G1349D.

The exact amount of API(s) and tablets comprising such API(s) required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The compounds of this disclosure may be formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of API(s) and tablets comprising such API(s) of this disclosure will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific API employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term “patient”, as used herein, means an animal, such as a mammal, and even further such as a human.
In some embodiments, the disclosure also is directed to methods of treatment using isotope-labelled compounds of the afore-mentioned compounds, which have the same structures as disclosed herein except 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 “2H” or “D.”
The deuterium (2H)-labelled compounds and salts can manipulate the oxidative metabolism of the compound by way of the primary kinetic isotope effect. The primary kinetic isotope effect is a change of the rate for a chemical reaction that results from exchange of isotopic nuclei, which in turn is caused by the change in ground state energies necessary for covalent bond formation after this isotopic exchange. Exchange of a heavier isotope usually results in a lowering of the ground state energy for a chemical bond and thus causes a reduction in the rate-limiting bond breakage. If the bond breakage occurs in or in the vicinity of a saddle-point region along the coordinate of a multi-product reaction, the product distribution ratios can be altered substantially. For explanation: if deuterium is bonded to a carbon atom at a non-exchangeable position, rate differences of kM/kD=2-7 are typical. For a further discussion, see S. L. Harbeson and R. D. Tung, Deuterium In Drug Discovery and Development, Ann. Rep. Med. Chem. 2011, 46, 403-417; and T. G. Gant “Using deuterium in drug discovery: leaving the label in the drug” J. Med. Chem. 2014, 57, 3595-3611, relevant portions of which are independently incorporated herein by reference.
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).
When discovering and developing therapeutic agents, the person skilled in the art attempts to optimize pharmacokinetic parameters while retaining desirable in vitro properties. It may be reasonable to assume that many compounds with poor pharmacokinetic profiles are susceptible to oxidative metabolism.
One of ordinary skill in the art would understand that deuteration of one or more metabolically labile positions on a compound or active metabolite may lead to improvement of one or more superior DMPK properties while maintaining biological activity as compared to the corresponding hydrogen analogs. The superior DMPK property or properties may have an impact on the exposure, half-life, clearance, metabolism, and/or even food requirements for optimal absorption of the drug product. Deuteration may also change the metabolism at other non-deuterated positions of the deuterated compound.

General Experimental Procedures
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 of 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.
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+H]+ 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. Optical purity of methyl (2S)-2,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-pentanoate was determined using chiral gas chromatography (GC) analysis on an Agilent 7890A/MSD 5975C instrument, using a Restek Rt-βDEXcst (30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 um_df) column, with a 2.0 mL/min flow rate (H2 carrier gas), at an injection temperature of 220° C. and an oven temperature of 120° C., 15 minutes.
The powder x-ray diffraction measurements were performed using PANalytical's X-pert Pro diffractometer at room temperature with copper radiation (1.54060 Å). The incident beam optic was comprised of a variable divergence slit to ensure a constant illuminated length on the sample and on the diffracted beam side; a fast linear solid state detector was used with an active length of 2.12 degrees 2 theta measured in a scanning mode. The powder sample was packed on the indented area of a zero background silicon holder and spinning was performed to achieve better statistics. A symmetrical scan was measured from 3-40 degrees 2 theta with a step size of 0.017 degrees and a scan step time of 15.5s.
Solid state 13C and 19F NMR data was obtained using Bruker-Biospin 400 MHz wide-bore spectrometer equipped with Bruker-Biospin 4 mm HFX probe was used. Samples were packed into 4 mm rotors and spun under Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) condition with typical spinning speed of 12.5 kHz. The proton relaxation time was estimated from 1H MAS T1 saturation recovery relaxation experiment and used to set up proper recycle delay of the 13C cross-polarization (CP) MAS experiment. The fluorine relaxation time was estimated from 19F MAS T1 saturation recovery relaxation experiment and used to set up proper recycle delay of the 19F MAS experiment. The CP contact time of CPMAS experiments was set to 2 ms. A CP proton pulse with linear ramp (from 50% to 100%) was employed. All spectra were externally referenced by adjusting the magnetic field to set carbon resonance of adamantane to 29.5 ppm. TPPM15 proton decoupling sequence was used with the field strength of approximately 100 kHz for both 13C and 19F acquisitions.
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+H]+ 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. Optical purity of methyl (2S)-2,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-pentanoate was determined using chiral gas chromatography (GC) analysis on an Agilent 7890A/MSD 5975C instrument, using a Restek Rt-βDEXcst (30 m×0.25 mm×0.25 um_df) column, with a 2.0 mL/min flow rate (H2 carrier gas), at an injection temperature of 220° C. and an oven temperature of 120° C., 15 minutes.
Tetrahydrofuran (THF, 4.5 L) was added to a 20 L glass reactor and stirred under N2 at room temperature. 2-Nitropropane (1.5 kg, 16.83 mol) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (1.282 kg, 8.42 mol) were then charged to the reactor, and the jacket temperature was increased to 50° C. Once the reactor contents were close to 50° C., methyl methacrylate (1.854 kg, 18.52 mol) was added slowly over 100 minutes. The reaction temperature was maintained at or close to 50° C. for 21 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo then transferred back to the reactor and diluted with methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) (14 L). 2 M HCl (7.5 L) was added, and this mixture was stirred for 5 minutes then allowed to settle. Two clear layers were visible—a lower yellow aqueous phase and an upper green organic phase. The aqueous layer was removed, and the organic layer was stirred again with 2 M HCl (3 L). After separation, the HCl washes were recombined and stirred with MTBE (3 L) for 5 minutes. The aqueous layer was removed, and all of the organic layers were combined in the reactor and stirred with water (3 L) for 5 minutes. After separation, the organic layers were concentrated in vacuo to afford a cloudy green oil. Crude product was treated with MgSO4 and filtered to afford methyl-2,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-pentanoate as a clear green oil (3.16 kg, 99% yield).

The reaction mixture was adjusted to 32±2° C. and stirred for 15-21 hours, and pH 6.5 was maintained using a pH stat with the automatic addition of 20% potassium carbonate solution. When the racemic starting material was converted to >98% ee of the S-enantiomer, as determined by chiral GC, external heating was switched off. The reactor was then charged with MTBE (35 L; 5 vol), and the aqueous layer was extracted with MTBE (3 times, 400-1000L). The combined organic extracts were washed with aqueous Na2CO3 (4 times, 522 L, 18% w/w 2.5 vol), water (523 L; 2.5 vol), and 10% aqueous NaCl (314 L, 1.5 vol). The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to afford methyl (2S)-2,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-pentanoate as a mobile yellow oil (>98% ee, 94.4 kg; 45% yield).
A 20 L reactor was purged with N2. The vessel was charged sequentially with DI water-rinsed, damp Raney® Ni (2800 grade, 250 g), methyl (2S)-2,4-dimethyl-4-nitro-pentanoate (1741 g, 9.2 mol), and ethanol (13.9 L, 8 vol). The reaction was stirred at 900 rpm, and the reactor was flushed with H2 and maintained at ˜2.5 bar. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 60° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered to remove Raney nickel, and the solid cake was rinsed with ethanol (3.5 L, 2 vol). The ethanolic solution of the product was combined with a second equal sized batch and concentrated in vacuo to reduce to a minimum volume of ethanol (˜1.5 volumes). Heptane (2.5 L) was added, and the suspension was concentrated again to ˜1.5 volumes. This was repeated 3 times; the resulting suspension was cooled to 0-5° C., filtered under suction, and washed with heptane (2.5 L). The product was dried under vacuum for 20 minutes then transferred to drying trays and dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. overnight to afford (3S)-3,5,5-trimethylpyrrolidin-2-one as a white crystalline solid (2.042 kg, 16.1 mol, 87%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, Chloroform-d) δ 6.39 (s, 1H), 2.62 (ddq, J=9.9, 8.6, 7.1 Hz, 1H), 2.17 (dd, J=12.4, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 1.56 (dd, J=12.5, 9.9 Hz, 1H), 1.31 (s, 3H), 1.25 (s, 3H), 1.20 (d, J=7.1 Hz, 3H).

The resulting suspension was charged with (S)-3,5,5-trimethylpyrrolidin-2-one (7.0 kg, 54 mol) in THF (25 L) over 2 hours while maintaining the reaction temperature at 30 to 40° C. After complete addition, the reaction temperature was increased to 60-63° C. and maintained overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to 22° C., then cautiously quenched with the addition of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (1.0 L, 10 moles), followed by a mixture of THF (3.4 L) and water (2.5 kg, 2.0 eq), and then a mixture of water (1.75 kg) with 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (750 g, 2 equiv water with 1.4 equiv sodium hydroxide relative to aluminum), followed by 7.5 L water. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the solid was removed by filtration and washed with THF (3×25 L). The filtrate and washings were combined and treated with 5.0 L (58 moles) of aqueous 37% HCl (1.05 equiv.) while maintaining the temperature below 30° C. The resultant solution was concentrated by vacuum distillation to a slurry. Isopropanol (8 L) was added and the solution was concentrated to near dryness by vacuum distillation. Isopropanol (4 L) was added, and the product was slurried by warming to about 50° C. MTBE (6 L) was added, and the slurry was cooled to 2-5° C.

A 1 L 3 neck round bottom flask was fitted with a mechanical stirrer, a cooling bath, an addition funnel, and a J-Kem temperature probe. The vessel was charged with lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) pellets (6.3 g, 0.1665 mol) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The vessel was then charged with tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 0.5 hours to allow the pellets to dissolve. The cooling bath was then charged with crushed ice in water and the reaction temperature was lowered to 0° C. The addition funnel was charged with a solution of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propanoic acid (20 g, 0.1281 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (60 mL) and the clear pale yellow solution was added drop wise over 1 hour. After the addition was complete the mixture was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and stirring was continued for 24 hours. The suspension was cooled to 0° C. with a crushed ice-water in the cooling bath and then quenched by the very slow and drop wise addition of water (6.3 ml), followed by sodium hydroxide solution (15 weight %; 6.3 mL) and then finally with water (18.9 mL). The reaction temperature of the resulting white suspension was recorded at 5° C. The suspension was stirred at ˜5° C. for 30 minutes and then filtered through a 20 mm layer of Celite. The filter cake was washed with tetrahydrofuran (2×100 mL). The filtrate was dried over sodium sulfate (150 g) and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide a clear colorless oil (15 g) containing a mixture of the product 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-ol in THF (73% weight of product ˜10.95g, and 27 wt. % THF as determined by 1H-NMR). The distillate from the rotary evaporation was distilled at atmospheric pressure using a 30 cm Vigreux column to provide 8.75 g of a residue containing 60% weight of THF and 40% weight of product (˜3.5 g). The estimated total amount of product is 14.45 g (79% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 4.99 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 3.38 (dd, J=5.8, 0.9 Hz, 2H), 1.04 (d, J=0.9 Hz, 6H).

The reaction was heated to an internal temperature of 40° C. and the system was set to hold jacket temp at 40° C. Hydrazine hydrate (1300 g of 55% w/w, 22.31 mol) was added portion wise via addition funnel over 30 min. The reaction was heated to 60° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to 20° C. and triethylamine (2.483 kg, 3.420 L, 24.54 mol) was added portion wise (exothermic), maintaining reaction temp <30° C. A solution of Boc anhydride (di-tert-butyl dicarbonate) (4.967 kg, 5.228 L, 22.76 mol) in MeOH (2.860 L) was added portion wise maintaining temperature <45° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 16 h. The reaction solution was partially concentrated to remove MeOH, resulting in a clear light amber oil. The resulting oil was transferred to the 50 L reactor, stirred and added water (7.150 L) and heptane (7.150 L). The additions caused a small amount of the product to precipitate. The aqueous layer was drained into a clean container and the interface and heptane layer were filtered to separate the solid (product). The aqueous layer was transferred back to the reactor, and the collected solid was placed back into the reactor and mixed with the aqueous layer. A dropping funnel was added to the reactor and loaded with acetic acid (1.474 kg, 1.396 L, 24.54 mol), then began dropwise addition of acid. The jacket was set to 0° C. to absorb the quench exotherm. After addition (pH=5), the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with water (7.150 L), and washed a second time with water (3.575 L) and pulled dry.

A reactor was loaded with toluene (300 mL) and 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid (30 g, 192.2 mmol), capped, purged under nitrogen. The reaction was set to control the internal temperature to 40° C. A solution of Vitride (65% in toluene. approximately 119.6 g of 65% w/w, 115.4 mL of 65% w/w, 384.4 mmol) was set up for addition via syringe, and addition was begun at 40° C., with the target addition temperature between 40 and 50° C. The reaction was stirred at 40° C. for 90 min. The reaction was cooled to 10° C. then the remaining Vitride was quenched with slow addition of water (6 mL). A solution of 15% aq NaOH (30 mL) was added in portions, and solids precipitated half way through the base addition. Water (60.00 mL) was added. The mixture was warmed to 30° C. and held for at least 15 mins. The mixture was then cooled to 20° C. The aqueous layer was removed. The organic layer was washed with water (60 mL×3), and then washed with brine (60 mL). The washed organic layer was dried under Na2SO4, followed with MgSO4. The mix was filtered through Celite, and the cake washed with toluene (60.00 mL) and pulled dry. The product 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propan-1-ol (22.5 g, 82%) was obtained as clear colorless solution.
A reactor was charged with 3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol (17.48 g, 123.0 mmol) solution in toluene (250g), 1-(tert-butyl) 4-ethyl 3-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-1,4-dicarboxylate (30.0 g, 117.1 mmol), and PPh3 (35.33 g, 134.7 mmol). The reaction was heated to 40° C. DIAD (26.09 mL, 134.7 mmol) was weighed and placed into a syringe and added over 10 minutes while maintaining an internal temperature ranging between 40 and 50° C. The reaction was then heated to 100° C. over 30 minutes. After holding at 100° C. for 30 minutes, the reaction was complete, and the mixture was cooled to 70° C. over 15 minutes. Heptane (180.0 mL) was added, and the jacket was cooled to 15° C. over 1 hour. (TPPO began crystallizing at ˜35° C.). The mixture stirring at 15° C. was filtered (fast), the cake was washed with a pre-mixed solution of toluene (60 mL) and heptane (60 mL) and then pulled dry. The clear solution was concentrated to a waxy solid (45° C., vacuum, rotovap). Crude 1-(tert-butyl) 4-ethyl 3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazole-1,4-dicarboxylate (53.49g) was obtained as a waxy solid, (˜120% of theoretical mass recovered).
A solution of 1-(tert-butyl) 4-ethyl 3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazole-1,4-dicarboxylate (50.0 g, 131 mmol) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (500 mL) was prepared in a reactor and stirred at 40° C. Portions of KOt-Bu (80.85 g, 720.5 mmol) were then added over 30 minutes. Addition was exothermic. After 20 53.49g UPLC-MS showed complete removal of the Boc group, so water (3.53 g, 3.53 mL, 196 mmol) was added drop-wise addition via syringe over 20 min to keep the reaction temperature between 40-50° C. The mixture was then stirred for 17 hours to complete the reaction. The mixture was then cooled to 20° C. and water (400 mL) was added. The stirring was stopped and the layers were separated. The desired product in the aqueous layer was returned to the reactor and the organic layer was discarded. The aqueous layer was washed with 2-Me-THF (200 mL). Isopropanol (50. mL) was added followed by dropwise addition of aqueous HCl (131 mL of 6.0 M, 786.0 mmol) to adjust the pH to <3 while maintaining the temperature below 30° C. The resulting solid was then isolated by filtration and the filter cake washer with water (100 mL) then pulled dry until a sticky cake was obtained. The solids were then dried under vacuum at 55° C. to afford 3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (23.25 g) as an off-white fine solid.
3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (1.0 equiv) was added to a reactor followed by DMF (6.0 vol, 2.6 wt equiv). The mixture was stirred at 18-22° C. DBU (0.2 equiv.) was charged to the reaction mixture at a rate of approximately 45 mL/min. The reaction temperature was then raised to 98-102° C. over 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred at 98-102° C. for no less than 10 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to −2° C. to 2° C. over approximately 1 hour and was used without isolation to make ethyl 2-chloro-6-(3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinate.
A solution of ethyl 2,6-dichloronicotinate (256 g, 1.16 mol) and 3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethyl-propoxy)-1H-pyrazole (242 g, 1.16 mol) in DMF (1.53 L) was treated with potassium carbonate (209 g, 1.51 mol) and DABCO (19.6 g, 174 mmol). The resultant suspension was stirred allowed to exotherm from 14 to 25° C. and then maintained at 20-25° C. with external cooling for 3 days. The suspension was cooled to below 10° C. when water (2.0 L) was added in a thin stream while maintaining the temperature below 25° C. After the addition was complete, the suspension was stirred for an additional 1 h. The solid was collected by filtration (sintered-glass/polypad) and the filter-cake was washed with water (2×500-mL) and dried with suction for 2 h to afford water-damp ethyl 2-chloro-6-(3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinate (512 g; 113% yield) as white powder which was used without further steps in the subsequent reaction.
The water-damp ethyl 2-chloro-6-(3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinate (455 g, 1.16 mol; assumed 100% yield from previous step) in EtOH (1.14 L) and THF (455 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature (17° C.) when 1 M NaOH (1.16 L, 1.16 mol) was added. The reaction mixture exothermed to 30° C. and was further warmed at 40° C. for 2 h. The solution was quenched with 1 M HCl (1.39 L, 1.39 mol) which resulted in an immediate precipitation which became thicker as the acid was added. The creamy suspension was allowed to cool to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The solid was collected by filtration (sintered-glass/poly pad). The filter-cake was washed with water (2×500-mL). The filter-cake was dried by suction for 1 h but remained wet. The damp solid was transferred to a 10-L Buchi flask for further drying (50° C./20 torr), but was not effective. Further effort to dry by chasing with i-PrOH was also ineffective. Successful drying was accomplished after the damp solid was backfilled with i-PrOAc (3 L), the suspension was heated at 60° C. (homogenization), and re-concentrated to dryness (50° C./20 torr) to afford dry 2-chloro-6-(3-(3,3,3-trifluoro-2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-1h-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinic acid (408 g; 97% yield for two steps) as a fine, white powder. The product was further dried in a vacuum oven (50° C./10 torr/N2 bleed) for 2 h but marginal weight loss was observed. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 13.64 (s, 1H), 8.49-8.36 (m, 2H), 7.77 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.26 (d, J=2.8 Hz, 1H), 4.28 (s, 2H), 1.24 (s, 6H). 19F NMR (376 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ −75.2.

The Celite was washed with methanol and the combined filtrates were concentrated to yield 5-amino-2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenol as a grey solid (1.66 g, quant.). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.64 (s, 1H, OH), 6.84 (s, 1H), 6.08 (s, 1H), 4.39 (s, 2H, NH2), 1.27 (m, 18H); HPLC ret. time 2.72 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 222.4 m/z [M+H]+.
To a suspension of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinolin-3-carboxylic acid (35.5 g, 188 mmol) and HBTU (85.7 g, 226 mmol) in DMF (280 mL) was added Et3N (63.0 mL, 451 mmol) at ambient temperature. The mixture became homogeneous and was allowed to stir for 10 min before 5-amino-2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenol (50.0 g, 226 mmol) was added in small portions. The mixture was allowed to stir overnight at ambient temperature. The mixture became heterogeneous over the course of the reaction. After all of the acid was consumed (LC-MS analysis, MH+ 190, 1.71 min), the solvent was removed in vacuo. EtOH (ethyl alcohol) was added to the orange solid material to produce a slurry. The mixture was stirred on a rotovap (bath temperature 65° C.) for 15 min without placing the system under vacuum. The mixture was filtered and the captured solid was washed with hexanes to provide a white solid that was the EtOH crystalate. Et2O (diethyl ether) was added to the solid obtained above until a slurry was formed. The mixture was stirred on a rotovapor (bath temperature 25° C.) for 15 min without placing the system under vacuum. The mixture was filtered and the solid captured. This procedure was performed a total of five times. The solid obtained after the fifth precipitation was placed under vacuum overnight to provide N-(5-hydroxy-2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenyl)-4-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxamide (38 g, 52%). HPLC ret. time 3.45 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.88 (s, 1H), 11.83 (s, 1H), 9.20 (s, 1H), 8.87 (s, 1H), 8.33 (dd, J=8.2, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.83-7.79 (m, 1H), 7.76 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 7.54-7.50 (m, 1H), 7.17 (s, 1H), 7.10 (s, 1H), 1.38 (s, 9H), 1.37 (s, 9H); ESI-MS m/z calc'd 392.21; found 393.3 [M+H]+.

An optical assay was employed to measure changes in membrane potential to determine the CFTR modulator properties of compounds. The assay utilized 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 was the creation of a chloride ion gradient in conjunction with channel activation and concurrent with compound treatment by a single liquid addition step after the cells had previously been loaded with a voltage sensing dye.
NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing F508del were used for optical measurements of membrane potential. The cells were maintained at 37° C. in 5% CO2 and 90% humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10% fetal bovine serum, 1×NEAA, β-ME, 1×pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For all optical assays, the cells were seeded at 12,000 cells/well in 384-well matrigel-coated plates. For the correction assay, the cells were cultured at 37° C. for 18-24 hours and loaded with a voltage sensing dye. The cells were then activated and treated with Compound I. After 18-24 hours, fluorescence from the voltage sensing dye in the cells was measured to assess changes in the membrane potential as a read out for increase in functional F508del CFTR in the NIH3T3 cells.
Using this method, Compound I had an EC50 of less than 3 μM and a % Efficacy of ≥100% relative to Compound II.
Ussing chamber experiments were performed on polarized airway epithelial cells expressing F508del to further characterize the F508del modulators identified in the optical assay above. Non-CF and CF airway epithelia were isolated from bronchial tissue, cultured using methods well known in the art, and plated onto Costar® Snapwell™ filters that were precoated with NIH3T3-conditioned media. 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 airway epithelia. Non-CF human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells were isolated from non-smokers that did not have any known lung disease. CF-HBE cells were isolated from patients homozygous for F508del (F508del/F508del-HBE) or heterozygous for F508del with a different disease causing mutation on the other allele.
HBE cells grown on Costar® Snapwell™ cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber (Physiologic Instruments, Inc., San Diego, Calif.), and the transepithelial resistance and short-circuit current in the presence of a basolateral to apical Cl− gradient (ISC) were measured using a voltage-clamp system (Department of Bioengineering, University of Iowa, IA). Briefly, HBE cells were examined 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 7.35 with NaOH) and the apical solution contained (in mM) 145 NaGluconate, 1.2 MgCl2, 1.2 CaCl2), 10 glucose, 10 HEPES (pH adjusted to 7.35 with NaOH).
A basolateral to apical membrane Cl− concentration gradient was set up as follows. Normal Ringer's solution was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaCl was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large Cl− concentration gradient across the epithelium. Compound I was added either to the basolateral side 18-24 hrs prior to assay or to the apical side during the assay. Forskolin (10 μM) was added to the apical side during the assay to stimulate CFTR-mediated Cl− transport. Chloride current was measured to assess the increase in functional CFTR in the cell membrane.
In Table 20, the following meanings apply: EC50: “+++” means <2 uM; “++” means between 2 uM to 5 uM; “+” means between 5 uM to 25 uM. % Efficacy: “+” means <25%; “++” means between 25% and 100%; “+++” means >100%.
Compound I is a potent, efficacious, and selective next generation CFTR corrector that works by facilitating the processing and trafficking of F508del-CFTR protein to the cell surface, resulting in enhanced chloride transport.
The combination of Compound I and Compound II resulted in more than additive improvement in CFTR processing and trafficking compared to either CFTR corrector alone, suggesting that the two CFTR correctors act through different mechanisms of action, which act synergistically to increase the amount of F508del-CFTR delivered to the cell surface.
In addition, the more than additive effect of the combination of Compound I and Compound II on the processing and trafficking of CFTR suggests that the two CFTR correctors act through different mechanisms to result in the delivery of more CFTR protein to the cell surface compared to either CFTR corrector alone.
The triple combination of Compound I, Compound II, and Compound III enhanced chloride transport more than dual combinations at most concentrations of Compound I Compound 1 was administered to male Sprague Dawley rats as a single nominal intravenous (IV) dose of 3.0 mg/kg in a solution in 10% NMP, 15% EtOH, 35% PEG400, 10% Solutol, and 30% D5W. Compound 1 was also administered to male Sprague Dawley rats at single nominal oral dose (PO) of 3 mg/kg as a solution in 5% NMP, 30% PEG400, 10% TPGS, 5% PVP-K30 at 5 mL/kg dose volume.
The study design, sample tracking, data run design and individual plasma sample concentrations were stored using Watson LIMS software, Version 7.4.2 (Thermo Scientific Inc, Waltham, Mass.). Plasma concentration-time profiles of Compound 1 in Sprague Dawley rats at scheduled (nominal) sampling times were analyzed by noncompartmental pharmacokinetic methods using PK function within Watson LIMS software, Version 7.4.2 (Thermo Scientific Inc, Waltham, Mass.). Key pharmacokinetic parameters such as “area under the curve” (AUC), from the time of drug administration, time zero, extrapolated to infinity, clearance (CL), and Percent of oral bioavailability (% F) were determined. The AUC values were calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.
In Table 21 below, Compound I is shown to have advantageous rat oral exposure (AUC) and oral bioavailability.
