Patent Application
20220135534
The present invention relates generally to the fields of biology and medicine. More particularly, it concerns compounds, compositions, and methods for the treatment and prevention of diseases such as those associated with RAR-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) and excess production of IL-17.
Inflammatory diseases, particularly autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis, frequently have severe and long-term adverse effects on a patient's physical well-being and quality of life. In many patients these diseases cause significant disability, and in some cases (e.g., lupus and multiple sclerosis), they may be life-threatening. Recent advances in therapeutic options, such as the development of therapeutic antibodies against tumor necrosis factor (TNF), have improved outcomes and quality of life for many patients. However, significant numbers of patients do not achieve adequate relief of symptoms from these therapies or cannot tolerate them. Even in patients who do respond, side effects can be significant and may be life-threatening due to immune suppression or other complications.
Recent research on chronic inflammation and autoimmunity has revealed an important role played by a subpopulation of T lymphocytes known as Th17 cells. These cells produce the inflammatory cytokine interleukin 17 (IL-17). Excessive levels of IL-17 have been reported in a variety of autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel diseases, vitiligo, Sjögren syndrome, and ankylosing spondylitis (Miossec and Kolls, 2012; Yang et al., 2014; Gaffen et al., 2014). Evidence suggests that IL-17 also plays a significant role in the pathology of vasculitis, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory lung diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). IL-17 is also implicated in the pathophysiology of epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and ALS. Elevated levels of IL-17 or Th17 cells have been reported in patients with psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions including schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, major depression, and autism. Elevations in IL-17 have been implicated in other conditions involving dysregulated inflammatory signaling, including obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease.
Although Th17 cells are not the only source of IL-17, it has been reported that these cells are a major source of this cytokine in tissues undergoing damage from autoimmune disease, such as arthritic joints. And elevated levels of IL-17 have been reported to promote tissue degradation, e.g., by stimulating the production of matrix metalloproteinases (a source of damage to connective tissue and cartilage) and increasing the expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), which stimulates osteoclast activity and promotes bone damage.
Inappropriate activity of Th17 cells, including overproduction of IL-17, has also been implicated in the pathologies associated with certain viral and parasitic infections. For example, IL-17 has been implicated in the development of severe neuroinflammation associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection and increased severity of lesions associated with Leishmania infection. In these and other cases, IL-17 appears to play a role in perpetuating the infection, promoting an excessive inflammatory response, and inhibiting clearance of the infectious agent (Waite and Skokos, 2011). Accordingly, therapies that prevent or inhibit excess production of IL-17, or otherwise reduce circulating levels of IL-17, would have significant potential in a wide range of diseases or disorders, including those with inflammatory and autoimmune-related components.
Both the differentiation of Th17 cells and their production of IL-17 are regulated to a significant degree by the RAR-related orphan receptor RORγt, a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family. Expression of RORγt is common to all types of Th17 cells and plays a significant role in their differentiation as well as their activity. RORγ also regulates the production of IL-17 in other cell types, including gamma delta T cells, innate lymphoid cells, and lymphoid tissue inducer cells (Bronner et al., 2016). Inhibition of RORγt activity has been shown to result in reduced expression of IL-17. As such, the identification and synthesis of small molecule inhibitors of RORγt is of great interest.
The present disclosure provides novel compounds, including pyrimidinyl tricyclic enone derivatives with anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant properties, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, methods for their manufacture, and methods for their use, including for the inhibition of RORγ nuclear receptor the prevention and treatment of diseases or disorders associated with and/or IL-17 overproduction of IL-17.

In some embodiments, these compounds may be used to modulate the expression of one or more downstream compound such as interleukin-17 (IL-17), prevent or inhibit excessive production of IL-17, reduce circulating levels of IL-17, and/or prevent or treat wide range of diseases or disorders, including those with inflammatory and autoimmune-related components.
The compounds of the present invention (also referred to as “compounds of the present disclosure”) are shown, for example, above, in the summary of the invention section, and in the claims below. They may be made using the synthetic methods outlined in the Examples section. These methods can be further modified and optimized using the principles and techniques of organic chemistry as applied by a person skilled in the art. Such principles and techniques are taught, for example, in Smith, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, (2013), which is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, the synthetic methods may be further modified and optimized for preparative, pilot- or large-scale production, either batch or continuous, using the principles and techniques of process chemistry as applied by a person skilled in the art. Such principles and techniques are taught, for example, in Anderson, Practical Process Research & Development A Guide for Organic Chemists (2012), which is incorporated by reference herein.
All of the compounds of the present invention may be useful for the prevention and treatment of one or more diseases or disorders discussed herein or otherwise. In some embodiments, one or more of the compounds characterized or exemplified herein as an intermediate, a metabolite, and/or prodrug, may nevertheless also be useful for the prevention and treatment of one or more diseases or disorders. As such unless explicitly stated to the contrary, all of the compounds of the present invention are deemed “active compounds” and “therapeutic compounds” that are contemplated for use as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Actual suitability for human or veterinary use is typically determined using a combination of clinical trial protocols and regulatory procedures, such as those administered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the United States, the FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, quality, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products, and medical devices.
In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention have the advantage that they may be more efficacious than, be less toxic than, be longer acting than, be more potent than, produce fewer side effects than, be more easily absorbed than, and/or have a better pharmacokinetic profile (e.g., higher oral bioavailability and/or lower clearance) than, and/or have other useful pharmacological, physical, or chemical properties over, compounds known in the prior art, whether for use in the indications stated herein or otherwise.
Compounds of the present invention may contain one or more asymmetrically-substituted carbon or nitrogen atoms, and may be isolated in optically active or racemic form. Thus, all chiral, diastereomeric, racemic form, epimeric form, and all geometric isomeric forms of a chemical formula are intended, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. Compounds may occur as racemates and racemic mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures and individual diastereomers. In some embodiments, a single diastereomer is obtained. The chiral centers of the compounds of the present invention can have the S or the R configuration. In some embodiments, the present compounds may contain two or more atoms which have a defined stereochemical orientation.
In one aspect, the compounds of the present invention contain at least one stereogenic centers at carbon atoms 4, 5, and 10. In some embodiments, carbon atom 10 is in the S configuration. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention contain a stereogenic center at carbon atom 5, provided that carbon atom 5 is not part of a double bond. In some of these embodiments carbon atom 5 is in the R configuration. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention contain a stereogenic center at carbon atom 4, provided that carbon atom 4 is not a part of a double bond. In some of these embodiments, carbon atom 4 is in the R configuration.
Without being bound by theory, in some embodiments, the compounds provided herein which exhibit a specific stereochemical orientation at carbon atoms 4, 5, and/or 10 exhibit retained inhibition of hIL17 while exhibiting reduced NRF2 activation relative to compound with a different stereochemical orientation at carbon atoms 4, 5, and/or 10. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compounds exhibiting a lower IC50 for inhibition of hIL17 as measure by determining the concentration required to inhibit using fluorescently tagged anti-IL17 antibodies, for example, as described in Example 2 when compared to the two fold activation of NRF2. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compounds exhibiting an increase in hIL17 inhibition when compared to the two fold NRF2 activation value when the 2-fold NRF2 activation is measured by determining the concentration requirement to increase GST ARE Luciferase reporter activity by 2-fold in AREc32 cells relative to DMSO treated cells, for example, as described in Example 2.
Chemical formulas used to represent compounds of the present invention will typically only show one of possibly several different tautomers. For example, many types of ketone groups are known to exist in equilibrium with corresponding enol groups. Similarly, many types of imine groups exist in equilibrium with enamine groups. Regardless of which tautomer is depicted for a given compound, and regardless of which one is most prevalent, all tautomers of a given chemical formula are intended.
In addition, atoms making up the compounds of the present invention are intended to include all isotopic forms of such atoms. Isotopes, as used herein, include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium, and isotopes of carbon include 13C and 14C.
Compounds of the present invention may also exist in prodrug form. Since prodrugs are known to enhance numerous desirable qualities of pharmaceuticals (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, manufacturing, etc.), the compounds employed in some methods of the invention may, if desired, be delivered in prodrug form. Thus, the invention contemplates prodrugs of compounds of the present invention as well as methods of delivering prodrugs. Prodrugs of the compounds employed in the invention may be prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compound in such a way that the modifications are cleaved, either in routine manipulation or in vivo, to the parent compound. Accordingly, prodrugs include, for example, compounds described herein in which a hydroxy, amino, or carboxy group is bonded to any group that, when the prodrug is administered to a subject, cleaves to form a hydroxy, amino, or carboxylic acid, respectively.
It should be recognized that the particular anion or cation forming a part of any salt form of a compound provided herein is not critical, so long as the salt, as a whole, is pharmacologically acceptable. Additional examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and their methods of preparation and use are presented in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, and Use (2002), which is incorporated herein by reference.
It will appreciated that many organic compounds can form complexes with solvents in which they are reacted or from which they are precipitated or crystallized. These complexes are known as “solvates.” Where the solvent is water, the complex is known as a “hydrate.” It will also be appreciated that many organic compounds can exist in more than one solid form, including crystalline and amorphous forms. All solid forms of the compounds provided herein, including any solvates thereof are within the scope of the present invention.
Various reports have implicated the inflammatory cytokine IL-17 in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases (including but not limited to Crohn's disease), multiple sclerosis, autoimmune nephritis, autoimmune uveitis, Type 1 diabetes, and ankylosing spondylitis. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent one or more of these diseases or disorders. A type of T lymphocyte known as a Th17 cell is a primary source of IL-17. There are multiple members of the IL-17 family. The first identified member, IL-17A, is commonly referred to as IL-17. IL-17 is composed of two monomers linked by disulfide bonds to form a homodimer (Miossec and Kolls, 2012). Aside from IL-17A, the other principal family member is IL-17F. Some evidence suggests that IL-17F and IL-17A, though they have many effects in common, may have different effects in certain settings such as lung inflammation. The IL-17 cytokines bind to IL-17 receptors (IL-17R) located in the membrane of select cell types. Although there are multiple subtypes of the IL-17 receptor, the IL-17RA/IL-17RC complex is required for the activity of IL-17A and IL-17F. IL-17RA has the unusual property of signaling through a pathway that involves an adaptor protein (ACT1) rather than the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway employed by most interleukin receptors. Binding of IL-17A to IL-17RA activates the pro-inflammatory nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway and pro-inflammatory elements of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway such as JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 and extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK). IL-17 activity stimulates secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 from mesenchymal cells and leads to fever along with the accumulation of neutrophils in blood and tissue. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be used to inhibit the secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 from mesenchymal cells. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent or inhibit fever in a patient. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent the accumulation of neutrophils in the blood or tissue of the patient.
Aside from its contribution to acute inflammation, IL-17 also contributes to chronic inflammation (Miossec and Kolls, 2012). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent or treat chronic inflammation. IL-17 stimulates the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which among other effects can degrade cartilage in joints. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent or treat degradation of the patient's cartilage. IL-17 also increases the expression of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) in osteoblasts, leading to differentiation and activation of osteoclasts and bone degradation. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent or treat degradation of the patient's bone. Depending on the target cell that is exposed to it, IL-17 may stimulate the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), MMPs, nitric oxide, or several other proteins that are implicated in inflammatory conditions (e.g., tissue factor, CCL20, G-CSF and GM-CSF). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to inhibit the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), MMPs, nitric oxide, or several other proteins that are implicated in inflammatory conditions (e.g., tissue factor, CCL20, G-CSF and GM-CSF).
Although IL-17 plays a role in the immune response to invading pathogens, excessive IL-17 activity has been implicated in pathologies associated with an excessive immune response to an infection. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent or treat excessive immune response to an infection. For example, IL-17 has been implicated in the severe neuroinflammation associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection and increased severity of lesions associated with Leishmania infection. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent neuroinflammation, for example, neuroinflammation associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent lesions associated with Leishmania infection. In these and other cases, IL-17 appears to play a role in perpetuating the infection, promoting an excessive inflammatory response, and inhibiting clearance of the infectious agent (Waite and Skokos, 2012). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to prevent an excessive inflammatory response and/or promote the clearance of an infectious agent.
Drugs targeting IL-17 have entered clinical trials for a wide variety of inflammatory conditions, including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, uveitis, Behcet's disease, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, dry eye syndrome, multiple sclerosis, graft-versus-host disease, and asthma. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent one or more of these diseases or disorders. Preclinical evidence also implicates IL-17 in the pathology of type 1 diabetes, and Th17 cells are elevated in patients with adult onset Still's disorder, another autoimmune disease. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat type 1 diabetes. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent adult onset Still's disorder. Activity of Th17 cells has been implicated in the development of graft-versus-host disease following allogeneic stem cell (e.g., bone marrow) transplantation (Fujiwara, et al., 2014). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent graft-versus-host disease, for example, following allogeneic stem cell (e.g., bone marrow) transplantation. Given the large body of evidence to date, it is likely that therapies reducing the expression of IL-17 or otherwise reducing its levels in circulation or target tissues (e.g., anti-IL17 monoclonal antibodies) could have broad applications in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and other inflammatory conditions. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to reduce the expression of IL-17 or its levels in circulation or target tissues (e.g., anti-IL17 monoclonal antibodies). In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat autoimmune diseases or other inflammatory conditions.
Overproduction of IL-17 or elevated numbers of Th17 cells have been reported in patient studies or animal models of a large number of conditions, including autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, psychiatric and neuropsychiatric disorders, acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, chronic pain syndromes, organ rejection or graft-versus-host disease, or asthma and other allergic conditions. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to treat or prevent one or more of these diseases or disorders.
Both the differentiation of Th17 cells and their production of IL-17 are regulated to a significant degree by the RAR-related orphan receptor RORγt, a member of the nuclear hormone receptor family. Expression of RORγt is common to all types of Th17 cells. RORγ also regulates the production of IL-17 in other cell types, including γδ T cells, innate lymphoid cells, and lymphoid tissue inducer cells (Bronner et al., 2016). Inhibition of RORγt activity results in reduced expression of IL-17. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to inhibit RORγt activity.
Compounds and compositions provided herein may be used to suppress IL-17 production in cultures of human T cells that are exposed to a mixture of cytokines known to induce differentiation into Th17 cells. In some embodiments, the ability to act as inverse agonists of RORγt is also demonstrated. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that, for example, RORγt-independent mechanisms appear to contribute to the suppression of IL-17 production. Thus, the compounds and compositions provided herein may be used for inhibiting differentiation of T cells into Th17 cells, as well as inhibiting production of IL-17 by mature Th17 cells. In some of these embodiments, the net result is a reduction in IL-17 levels. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein may be administered to a patient in order to suppress IL-17 production in one or more of the patient's tissues or organs.
For the purpose of administration to a patient in need of such treatment, pharmaceutical formulations (also referred to as a pharmaceutical preparations, pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical products, medicinal products, medicines, medications, or medicaments) comprise a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention formulated with one or more excipients and/or drug carriers appropriate to the indicated route of administration. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are formulated in a manner amenable for the treatment of human and/or veterinary patients. In some embodiments, formulation comprises admixing or combining one or more of the compounds of the present invention with one or more of the following excipients: lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol. In some embodiments, e.g., for oral administration, the pharmaceutical formulation may be tableted or encapsulated. In some embodiments, the compounds may be dissolved or slurried in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Pharmaceutical formulations may be subjected to conventional pharmaceutical operations, such as sterilization and/or may contain drug carriers and/or excipients such as preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, encapsulating agents such as lipids, dendrimers, polymers, proteins such as albumin, or nucleic acids, and buffers, etc.
Pharmaceutical formulations may be administered by a variety of methods, e.g., orally or by injection (e.g. subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneal, etc.). Depending on the route of administration, the compounds of the present invention may be coated in a material to protect the compound from the action of acids and other natural conditions which may inactivate the compound. To administer the active compound by other than parenteral administration, it may be necessary to coat the compound with, or co-administer the compound with, a material to prevent its inactivation. For example, the active compound may be administered to a patient in an appropriate carrier, for example, liposomes, or a diluent. Pharmaceutically acceptable diluents include saline and aqueous buffer solutions. Liposomes include water-in-oil-in-water CGF emulsions as well as conventional liposomes.
The compounds of the present invention may also be administered parenterally, intraperitoneally, intraspinally, or intracerebrally. Dispersions can be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations may contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (such as, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride, or polyalcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol, in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent which delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate or gelatin.
The compounds of the present invention can be administered orally, for example, with an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. The compounds and other ingredients may also be enclosed in a hard or soft shell gelatin capsule, compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the subject's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the compounds of the present invention may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. The percentage of the therapeutic compound in the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied. The amount of the therapeutic compound in such pharmaceutical formulations is such that a suitable dosage will be obtained.
The therapeutic compound may also be administered topically to the skin, eye, ear, or mucosal membranes. Administration of the therapeutic compound topically may include formulations of the compounds as a topical solution, lotion, cream, ointment, gel, foam, transdermal patch, or tincture. When the therapeutic compound is formulated for topical administration, the compound may be combined with one or more agents that increase the permeability of the compound through the tissue to which it is administered. In other embodiments, it is contemplated that the topical administration is administered to the eye. Such administration may be applied to the surface of the cornea, conjunctiva, or sclera. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that administration to the surface of the eye allows the therapeutic compound to reach the posterior portion of the eye. Ophthalmic topical administration can be formulated as a solution, suspension, ointment, gel, or emulsion. Finally, topical administration may also include administration to the mucosa membranes such as the inside of the mouth. Such administration can be directly to a particular location within the mucosal membrane such as a tooth, a sore, or an ulcer. Alternatively, if local delivery to the lungs is desired the therapeutic compound may be administered by inhalation in a dry-powder or aerosol formulation.
In some embodiments, it may be advantageous to formulate parenteral compositions in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. Dosage unit form as used herein refers to physically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects to be treated; each unit containing a predetermined quantity of therapeutic compound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. In some embodiments, the specification for the dosage unit forms of the invention are dictated by and directly dependent on (a) the unique characteristics of the therapeutic compound and the particular therapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such a therapeutic compound for the treatment of a selected condition in a patient. In some embodiments, active compounds are administered at a therapeutically effective dosage sufficient to treat a condition associated with a condition in a patient. For example, the efficacy of a compound can be evaluated in an animal model system that may be predictive of efficacy in treating the disease in a human or another animal.
In some embodiments, the effective dose range for the therapeutic compound can be extrapolated from effective doses determined in animal studies for a variety of different animals. In general a human equivalent dose (HED) in mg/kg can be calculated in accordance with the following formula (see, e.g., Reagan-Shaw et al., FASEB J., 22(3):659-661, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference):
HED(mg/kg)=Animal dose(mg/kg)×(Animal Km/Human Km)
Use of the Km factors in conversion results in more accurate HED values, which are based on body surface area (BSA) rather than only on body mass. Km values for humans and various animals are well known. For example, the Km for an average 60 kg human (with a BSA of 1.6 m2) is 37, whereas a 20 kg child (BSA 0.8 m2) would have a Km of 25. Km for some relevant animal models are also well known, including: mice Km of 3 (given a weight of 0.02 kg and BSA of 0.007); hamster Km of 5 (given a weight of 0.08 kg and BSA of 0.02); rat Km of 6 (given a weight of 0.15 kg and BSA of 0.025) and monkey Km of 12 (given a weight of 3 kg and BSA of 0.24).
Precise amounts of the therapeutic composition depend on the judgment of the practitioner and are peculiar to each individual. Nonetheless, a calculated HED dose provides a general guide. Other factors affecting the dose include the physical and clinical state of the patient, the route of administration, the intended goal of treatment and the potency, stability and toxicity of the particular therapeutic formulation.
The actual dosage amount of a compound of the present disclosure or composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure administered to a subject may be determined by physical and physiological factors such as type of animal treated, age, sex, body weight, severity of condition, the type of disease being treated, previous or concurrent therapeutic interventions, idiopathy of the subject and on the route of administration. These factors may be determined by a skilled artisan. The practitioner responsible for administration will typically determine the concentration of active ingredient(s) in a composition and appropriate dose(s) for the individual subject. The dosage may be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of any complication.
In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective amount typically will vary from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 750 mg/kg, from about 100 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg, from about 1 mg/kg to about 250 mg/kg, from about 10 mg/kg to about 150 mg/kg in one or more dose administrations daily, for one or several days (depending of course of the mode of administration and the factors discussed above). Other suitable dose ranges include 1 mg to 10,000 mg per day, 100 mg to 10,000 mg per day, 500 mg to 10,000 mg per day, and 500 mg to 1,000 mg per day. In some particular embodiments, the amount is less than 10,000 mg per day with a range of 750 mg to 9,000 mg per day.
In some embodiments, the amount of the active compound in the pharmaceutical formulation is from about 2 to about 75 weight percent. In some of these embodiments, the amount if from about 25 to about 60 weight percent.
Single or multiple doses of the agents are contemplated. Desired time intervals for delivery of multiple doses can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art employing no more than routine experimentation. As an example, subjects may be administered two doses daily at approximately 12 hour intervals. In some embodiments, the agent is administered once a day.
The agent(s) may be administered on a routine schedule. As used herein a routine schedule refers to a predetermined designated period of time. The routine schedule may encompass periods of time which are identical or which differ in length, as long as the schedule is predetermined. For instance, the routine schedule may involve administration twice a day, every day, every two days, every three days, every four days, every five days, every six days, a weekly basis, a monthly basis or any set number of days or weeks there-between. Alternatively, the predetermined routine schedule may involve administration on a twice daily basis for the first week, followed by a daily basis for several months, etc. In other embodiments, the invention provides that the agent(s) may taken orally and that the timing of which is or is not dependent upon food intake. Thus, for example, the agent can be taken every morning and/or every evening, regardless of when the subject has eaten or will eat.
In addition to being used as a monotherapy, the compounds of the present invention may also find use in combination therapies. Effective combination therapy may be achieved with a single composition or pharmacological formulation that includes both agents, or with two distinct compositions or formulations, administered at the same time, wherein one composition includes a compound of this invention, and the other includes the second agent(s). Alternatively, the therapy may precede or follow the other agent treatment by intervals ranging from minutes to months.
Non-limiting examples of such combination therapy include combination of one or more compounds of the invention with another anti-inflammatory agent, a chemotherapeutic agent, radiation therapy, an antidepressant, an antipsychotic agent, an anticonvulsant, a mood stabilizer, an anti-infective agent, an antihypertensive agent, a cholesterol-lowering agent or other modulator of blood lipids, an agent for promoting weight loss, an antithrombotic agent, an agent for treating or preventing cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke, an antidiabetic agent, an agent for reducing transplant rejection or graft-versus-host disease, an anti-arthritic agent, an analgesic agent, an anti-asthmatic agent or other treatment for respiratory diseases, or an agent for treatment or prevention of skin disorders. Compounds of the invention may be combined with agents designed to improve a patient's immune response to cancer, including (but not limited to) cancer vaccines. See Lu et al. (2011), which is incorporated herein by reference.
When used in the context of a chemical group: “hydrogen” means H; “hydroxy” means —OH; “oxo” means ═O; “carbonyl” means —C(═O)—; “carboxy” means —C(═O)OH (also written as —COOH or —CO2H); “halo” means independently —F, —Cl, —Br or —I; “amino” means —NH2; “hydroxyamino” means —NHOH; “nitro” means —NO2; imino means ═NH; “cyano” means —CN; “isocyanate” means —N═C═O; “azido” means —N3; in a monovalent context “phosphate” means —OP(O)(OH)2 or a deprotonated form thereof; in a divalent context “phosphate” means —OP(O)(OH)O— or a deprotonated form thereof; “mercapto” means —SH; and “thio” means ═S; “sulfonyl” means —S(O)2—; and “sulfinyl” means —S(O)—.
In the context of chemical formulas, the symbol “” means a single bond, “
” means a double bond, and “
” means triple bond. The symbol “
” represents an optional bond, which if present is either single or double. The symbol “
” represents a single bond or a double bond. Thus, the formula
covers, for example,
And it is understood that no one such ring atom forms part of more than one double bond. Furthermore, it is noted that the covalent bond symbol “”, when connecting one or two stereogenic atoms, does not indicate any preferred stereochemistry. Instead, it covers all stereoisomers as well as mixtures thereof. The symbol “
”, when drawn perpendicularly across a bond (e.g.,
for methyl) indicates a point of attachment of the group. It is noted that the point of attachment is typically only identified in this manner for larger groups in order to assist the reader in unambiguously identifying a point of attachment. The symbol “” means a single bond where the group attached to the thick end of the wedge is “out of the page.” The symbol “
” means a single bond where the group attached to the thick end of the wedge is “into the page”. The symbol “
” means a single bond where the geometry around a double bond (e.g., either E or Z) is undefined. Both options, as well as combinations thereof are therefore intended. Any undefined valency on an atom of a structure shown in this application implicitly represents a hydrogen atom bonded to that atom. A bold dot on a carbon atom indicates that the hydrogen attached to that carbon is oriented out of the plane of the paper.
When a variable is depicted as a “floating group” on a ring system, for example, the group “R” in the formula:
then the variable may replace any hydrogen atom attached to any of the ring atoms, including a depicted, implied, or expressly defined hydrogen, so long as a stable structure is formed. When a variable is depicted as a “floating group” on a fused ring system, as for example the group “R” in the formula:
then the variable may replace any hydrogen attached to any of the ring atoms of either of the fused rings unless specified otherwise. Replaceable hydrogens include depicted hydrogens (e.g., the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen in the formula above), implied hydrogens (e.g., a hydrogen of the formula above that is not shown but understood to be present), expressly defined hydrogens, and optional hydrogens whose presence depends on the identity of a ring atom (e.g., a hydrogen attached to group X, when X equals CH), so long as a stable structure is formed. In the example depicted, R may reside on either the 5-membered or the 6-membered ring of the fused ring system. In the formula above, the subscript letter “y” immediately following the R enclosed in parentheses, represents a numeric variable. Unless specified otherwise, this variable can be 0, 1, 2, or any integer greater than 2, only limited by the maximum number of replaceable hydrogen atoms of the ring or ring system.
For the chemical groups and compound classes, the number of carbon atoms in the group or class is as indicated as follows: “Cn” defines the exact number (n) of carbon atoms in the group/class. “Cn” defines the maximum number (n) of carbon atoms that can be in the group/class, with the minimum number as small as possible for the group/class in question. For example, it is understood that the minimum number of carbon atoms in the groups “alkyl(C≤8)”, “alkanediyl(C≤8)”, “heteroaryl(C≤8)”, “acyl(C≤8)”, and “heterocycloalkyl(C≤8)” is one, the minimum number of carbon atoms in the groups “alkenyl(C≤8)”, “alkenediyl(C≤8)”, and “alkynyl(C≤8)”, is two, the minimum number of carbon atoms in the group “cycloalkyl(C≤8)” and “cycloalkanediyl(C≤8)” is three, and the minimum number of carbon atoms in the groups “aryl(C≤8)” and “arenediyl(C≤8)” is six. “Cn-n” defines both the minimum (n) and maximum number (n′) of carbon atoms in the group. Thus, “alkyl(C2-10)” designates those alkyl groups having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms. These carbon number indicators may precede or follow the chemical groups or class it modifies and it may or may not be enclosed in parenthesis, without signifying any change in meaning. Thus, the terms “C5 olefin”, “C5-olefin”, “olefin(C5)”, and “olefinC5” are all synonymous. When any of the chemical groups or compound classes defined herein is modified by the term “substituted”, any carbon atom in the moiety replacing the hydrogen atom is not counted. Thus methoxyhexyl, which has a total of seven carbon atoms, is an example of a substituted alkyl(C1-6). Unless specified otherwise, any chemical group or compound class listed in a claim set without a carbon atom limit has a carbon atom limit of less than or equal to twelve.
The term “saturated” when used to modify a compound or chemical group means the compound or chemical group has no carbon-carbon double and no carbon-carbon triple bonds, except as noted below. When the term is used to modify an atom, it means that the atom is not part of any double or triple bond. In the case of substituted versions of saturated groups, one or more carbon oxygen double bond or a carbon nitrogen double bond may be present. And when such a bond is present, then carbon-carbon double bonds that may occur as part of keto-enol tautomerism or imine/enamine tautomerism are not precluded. When the term “saturated” is used to modify a solution of a substance, it means that no more of that substance can dissolve in that solution.
The term “aliphatic” signifies that the compound or chemical group so modified is an acyclic or cyclic, but non-aromatic compound or group. In aliphatic compounds/groups, the carbon atoms can be joined together in straight chains, branched chains, or non-aromatic rings (alicyclic). Aliphatic compounds/groups can be saturated, that is joined by single carbon-carbon bonds (alkanes/alkyl), or unsaturated, with one or more carbon-carbon double bonds (alkenes/alkenyl) or with one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds (alkynes/alkynyl).
The term “aromatic” signifies that the compound or chemical group so modified has a planar unsaturated ring of atoms with 4n+2 electrons in a fully conjugated cyclic 7E system.
The term “alkyl” when used without the “substituted” modifier refers to a monovalent saturated aliphatic group with a carbon atom as the point of attachment, a linear or branched acyclic structure, and no atoms other than carbon and hydrogen. The groups —CH3 (Me), —CH2CH3 (Et), —CH2CH2CH3 (n-Pr or propyl), —CH(CH3)2 (i-Pr, Tr or isopropyl), —CH2CH2CH2CH3 (n-Bu), —CH(CH3)CH2CH3 (sec-butyl), —CH2CH(CH3)2 (isobutyl), —C(CH3)3 (tert-butyl, t-butyl, t-Bu or tBu), and —CH2C(CH3)3 (neo-pentyl) are non-limiting examples of alkyl groups. The term “alkanediyl” when used without the “substituted” modifier refers to a divalent saturated aliphatic group, with one or two saturated carbon atom(s) as the point(s) of attachment, a linear or branched acyclic structure, no carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, and no atoms other than carbon and hydrogen. The groups —CH2— (methylene), —CH2CH2—, —CH2C(CH3)2CH2—, and —CH2CH2CH2— are non-limiting examples of alkanediyl groups. The term “alkylidene” when used without the “substituted” modifier refers to the divalent group ═CRR′ in which R and R′ are independently hydrogen or alkyl. Non-limiting examples of alkylidene groups include: ═CH2, ═CH(CH2CH3), and ═C(CH3)2. An “alkane” refers to the class of compounds having the formula H—R, wherein R is alkyl as this term is defined above. When any of these terms is used with the “substituted” modifier, one or more hydrogen atom has been independently replaced by —OH, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, —NH2, —NO2, —CO2H, —C(O)H, —CO2CH3, —CN, —SH, —OCH3, —OCH2CH3, —C(O)CH3, —NHCH3, —NHCH2CH3, —N(CH3)2, —C(O)NH2, —C(O)NHCH3, —C(O)N(CH3)2, —OC(O)CH3, —NHC(O)CH3, —S(O)2CH3, —S(O)2OH, or —S(O)2NH2. The following groups are non-limiting examples of substituted alkyl groups: —CH2OH, —CH2Cl, —CF3, —CH2CN, —CH2C(O)OH, —CH2C(O)OCH3, —CH2C(O)NH2, —CH2C(O)CH3, —CH2OCH3, —CH2OC(O)CH3, —CH2NH2, —CH2N(CH3)2, and —CH2CH2Cl. The term “haloalkyl” is a subset of substituted alkyl, in which the hydrogen atom replacement is limited to halo (i.e. —F, —Cl, —Br, or —I) such that no other atoms aside from carbon, hydrogen and halogen are present.

An “excipient” is a pharmaceutically acceptable substance formulated along with the active ingredient(s) of a medication, pharmaceutical composition, formulation, or drug delivery system. Excipients may be used, for example, to stabilize the composition, to bulk up the composition (thus often referred to as “bulking agents,” “fillers,” or “diluents” when used for this purpose), or to confer a therapeutic enhancement on the active ingredient in the final dosage form, such as facilitating drug absorption, reducing viscosity, or enhancing solubility. Excipients include pharmaceutically acceptable versions of antiadherents, binders, coatings, colors, disintegrants, flavors, glidants, lubricants, preservatives, sorbents, sweeteners, and vehicles. The main excipient that serves as a medium for conveying the active ingredient is usually called the vehicle. Excipients may also be used in the manufacturing process, for example, to aid in the handling of the active substance, such as by facilitating powder flowability or non-stick properties, in addition to aiding in vitro stability such as prevention of denaturation or aggregation over the expected shelf life. The suitability of an excipient will typically vary depending on the route of administration, the dosage form, the active ingredient, as well as other factors.

Acceptable organic bases include ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, N-methylglucamine and the like. It should be recognized that the particular anion or cation forming a part of any salt of this invention is not critical, so long as the salt, as a whole, is pharmacologically acceptable. Additional examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and their methods of preparation and use are presented in Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, and Use (P. H. Stahl & C. G. Wermuth eds., Verlag Helvetica Chimica Acta, 2002).
A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier,” “drug carrier,” or simply “carrier” is a pharmaceutically acceptable substance formulated along with the active ingredient medication that is involved in carrying, delivering and/or transporting a chemical agent. Drug carriers may be used to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs, including for example, controlled-release technology to modulate drug bioavailability, decrease drug metabolism, and/or reduce drug toxicity. Some drug carriers may increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the specific target sites. Examples of carriers include: liposomes, microspheres (e.g., made of polylactic-co-glycolic) acid), albumin microspheres, synthetic polymers, nanofibers, protein-DNA complexes, protein conjugates, erythrocytes, virosomes, and dendrimers.
A “pharmaceutical drug” (also referred to as a pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical preparation, pharmaceutical composition, pharmaceutical formulation, pharmaceutical product, medicinal product, medicine, medication, medicament, or simply a drug) is a compound or composition used to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent disease. An active ingredient (AI) (defined above) is the ingredient in a pharmaceutical drug or a pesticide that is biologically active. The similar terms active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and bulk active are also used in medicine, and the term active substance may be used for pesticide formulations. Some medications and pesticide products may contain more than one active ingredient. In contrast with the active ingredients, the inactive ingredients are usually called excipients (defined above) in pharmaceutical contexts.
“Prevention” or “preventing” includes: (1) inhibiting the onset of a disease in a subject or patient which may be at risk and/or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display any or all of the pathology or symptomatology of the disease, and/or (2) slowing the onset of the pathology or symptomatology of a disease in a subject or patient which may be at risk and/or predisposed to the disease but does not yet experience or display any or all of the pathology or symptomatology of the disease.
“Prodrug” means a compound that is convertible in vivo metabolically into an inhibitor according to the present invention. The prodrug itself may or may not also have activity with respect to a given target protein.

A “stereoisomer” or “optical isomer” is an isomer of a given compound in which the same atoms are bonded to the same other atoms, but where the configuration of those atoms in three dimensions differs. “Enantiomers” are stereoisomers of a given compound that are mirror images of each other, like left and right hands. “Diastereomers” are stereoisomers of a given compound that are not enantiomers. Chiral molecules contain a chiral center, also referred to as a stereocenter or stereogenic center, which is any point, though not necessarily an atom, in a molecule bearing groups such that an interchanging of any two groups leads to a stereoisomer. In organic compounds, the chiral center is typically a carbon, phosphorus or sulfur atom, though it is also possible for other atoms to be stereocenters in organic and inorganic compounds. A molecule can have multiple stereocenters, giving it many stereoisomers. In compounds whose stereoisomerism is due to tetrahedral stereogenic centers (e.g., tetrahedral carbon), the total number of hypothetically possible stereoisomers will not exceed 2n, where n is the number of tetrahedral stereocenters. Molecules with symmetry frequently have fewer than the maximum possible number of stereoisomers. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture. Alternatively, a mixture of enantiomers can be enantiomerically enriched so that one enantiomer is present in an amount greater than 50%. Typically, enantiomers and/or diastereomers can be resolved or separated using techniques known in the art.

A. AREc32 Luciferase Reporter Assay
The AREc32 luciferase reporter assay allows for quantitative assessment of the endogenous activity of the Nrf2 transcription factor in cultured mammalian cells. AREc32 cells are derived from MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells that were stably transfected with a reporter construct that contains the firefly luciferase gene located downstream of eight copies of the rat GSTA2 antioxidant response element (ARE) sequence (Wang et al., 2006; CXR Biosciences). Active NRF2 binds to the ARE sequences and increases expression of the firefly luciferase gene. To assess the NRF2-activating potential of the test compounds, AREc32 cells were plated in black 96-well plates at a density of 20,000 cells per well in triplicate in DMEM+10% FBS+0.8 mg/mL Geneticin and incubated at 37° C. with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere. The next day, cells were treated with DMSO (vehicle) or test compound (concentration ranges of 0.4-200 nM or 2-1000 nM) for 19 hours. Luciferase activity was determined using the ONE-Glo Luciferase assay (Promega). The luminescence signal was measured on a BMG Pherastar microplate reader. The mean luminescence value from test compound-treated wells was normalized to that from DMSO-treated wells and was represented as fold-induction. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 6.00 for Windows, GraphPad Software, La Jolla Calif. USA. A non-linear regression curve with log (agonist) vs. response using a variable slope was used to fit the data. Where applicable, a maximum threshold value of 50-fold over DMSO was set. EC2× values were interpolated from the curve. EC2× corresponds to the concentration of test compound required to increase GST ARE Luciferase reporter activity by 2-fold.
B. RORγ Assay and Cell Viability
The RORγ assay system was purchased from Indigo Biosciences. This nuclear receptor assay utilizes a human cell line that has been engineered to express a hybrid form of the Human RAR-related Orphan Receptor Gamma (RORγ) at high levels. The N-terminal DNA binding domain (DBD) of the native RORγ receptor was substituted with the yeast GAL4-DBD to generate the GAL4-RORγ hybrid nuclear receptor. The reporter cell line is transfected with a plasmid that encodes the beetle luciferase gene under the control of the GAL4 upstream activating sequence (UAS). GAL4 binds to the UAS and increases transcription of downstream target genes. The GAL4-RORγ hybrid is constitutively active; therefore, the principle application of this reporter assay system is to screen test compounds to quantify inverse-agonist activities against human RORγ. To assess the RORγ inverse-agonist activity of the test compounds, reporter cells were plated in white 96-well plates in triplicate and were treated with DMSO (vehicle) or test compound (concentration ranges of 0.4-200 nM or 2-1000 nM) at 37° C. with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere for 23 hours. After this incubation, luciferin was added to the wells and luciferase activity was determined by measuring the luminescence signal using a BMG Pherastar microplate reader. Viability was determined using the Live Cell Multiplex Assay (Indigo Biosciences). Values from test compound samples were normalized to those from DMSO-treated samples. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 6.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, La Jolla Calif. USA). A non-linear regression analysis with log (inhibitor) vs. normalized response using a variable slope was applied to fit the data and determine the IC50 values for inhibition of RORγ and cell viability.
C. IL-17 Release from Differentiated Primary Human T-Cells and Cell Viability
Primary human cryopreserved CD4+ T Cells (Lonza, donor #0000402103) were plated in Lymphocyte Growth Medium-3 (LGM-3, Lonza) according to the manufacturer's recommendations, and allowed to recover for approximately 3 hours at 37° C. with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere. After the recovery step, cells were collected by centrifugation and re-plated in 96-well plates at a density of ˜140,000 cells per well in LGM-3 medium that contained DMSO (vehicle) or test compound (2-500 nM or 4-1000 nM concentration range). Triplicate wells were plated for each test condition. DMSO (final concentration ≤0.1%) was used as the vehicle Immediately after plating, CD4+ T cells were activated by adding Dynabeads Human T-Activator CD3/CD28 (Life Technologies; bead-to-cell ratio of 1:2.5) and differentiated into Th17 cells by adding a mixture of the following cytokines: transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β, 5 ng/mL), IL-6 (20 ng/mL), IL-23 (20 ng/mL), and IL-1β (10 ng/mL). Undifferentiated control cells received only cytokine IL-2 (50 ng/mL). All human recombinant cytokines were purchased from R&D Systems. Following a 46-hour incubation at 37° C. with 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere, the plates were centrifuged for 3 minutes at 250× g, and half of the supernatant was transferred to a new plate to be used in the IL-17A assay (see below). Cell viability was assessed in the original plate using the CyQuant Direct Assay (Life Technologies). CyQuant values from test compound samples were normalized to those from DMSO-treated samples. The concentration of IL-17A in the supernatant was measured using the Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay (Cisbio Bioassays) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The assay was performed at room temperature in low volume, solid white 384-well plates (Greiner Bio-One). Samples and standards (serially-diluted human recombinant IL-17A (0 to 5,000 pg/mL concentration range; Cisbio Bioassays) were incubated with the anti-human IL-17A antibody conjugate for 16 hours and fluorescence was measured using a Pherastar FS microplate reader (BMG Labtech) in the HTRF mode (excitation at 337 nm and emission at 665 nm and 620 nm). IL-17A concentrations were assessed in duplicate aliquots of supernatant from each well resulting in a total of six readings per test condition. The 665 nm/620 nm signal ratio was calculated and the concentration of IL-17A in each sample was determined by interpolation from the standard curve. IL-17A values from test compound samples were normalized to those from DMSO-treated samples. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 6.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, La Jolla Calif. USA). A non-linear regression analysis with log (inhibitor) vs. normalized response using a variable slope was applied to fit the data and determine the IC50 values for inhibition of IL-17A levels and cell viability.
