Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Malaria cases and deaths have dropped 50% in 29 countries since 2000 due to the combined effects of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets, indoor residual spraying, and artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) [Kilama W. et al., Lancet, 2009, 374: 1480-1482]. This success has raised hopes for malaria eradication and consequently stimulated interest in developing new reagents that block gametocyte transmission, such as novel and safe gametocytocidal drugs [Buchholz K. et al., The Journal ofInfectious Diseases, 2011, 203: 1445-1453]. Previous drug development efforts have focused primarily on the asexual parasites that cause symptoms but not malaria transmission. To be transmitted from person to person via mosquitoes, the parasites must switch from asexual to sexual development and produce male and female gametocytes. Once gametocytes are taken up in a blood meal by a mosquito, fertilization is stimulated and the resulting zygote differentiates into a motile ookinete that migrates across the midgut epithelium of the mosquito and forms an oocyst. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, tens of thousands of infectious sporozoites are generated and sequestered in the mosquito salivary glands until released into a vertebrate host for transmission during the next blood meal.


Sexual stage P. falciparum gametocytes have a lifespan of over 3 weeks and are not cleared effectively by current antimalarial agents, except primaquine (PQ) [Sweeney A W et al., American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2004, 71: 187-189; Peatey C L et al., Journal ofInfectious Diseases, 2009, 200: 1518-1521] which is not widely used because it causes hemolytic anemia in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency [Baird J K et al., Trends in Parasitology, 2011, 27: 11-16]. Consequently, treatment with current antimalarial drugs often results in asymptomatic carriers who remain infectious for weeks after the clearance of asexual parasites. Despite the risks of PQ, its efficacy with artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) in reducing malaria transmission in the PQ-tolerant patients was recently demonstrated in test regions. Other than PQ, the only other gametocytocidal candidate being tested is methylene blue.


Thus, a new generation of antimalarial agents with potent activities against both sexual and asexual parasites is urgently needed for better therapeutic effect and eradication of malarial infection globally.

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, any of the compounds or salts thereof can be administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound or salt and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.


The pharmaceutically acceptable carriers described herein, for example, vehicles, adjuvants, excipients, or diluents, are well known to those who are skilled in the art and are readily available to the public. It is preferred that the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier be one which is chemically inert to the active compounds and one which has no detrimental side effects or toxicity under the conditions of use.


The choice of carrier will be determined in part by the particular active agent, as well as by the particular method used to administer the composition. Accordingly, there is a wide variety of suitable formulations of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The following formulations for oral, aerosol, parenteral, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraarterial, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intrathecal, rectal, and vaginal administration are merely exemplary and are in no way limiting.


Formulations suitable for oral administration can consist of (a) liquid solutions, such as an effective amount of the compound dissolved in diluents, such as water, saline, or orange juice; (b) capsules, sachets, tablets, lozenges, and troches, each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient, as solids or granules; (c) powders; (d) suspensions in an appropriate liquid; and (e) suitable emulsions. Liquid formulations may include diluents, such as water and alcohols, for example, ethanol, benzyl alcohol, and the polyethylene alcohols, either with or without the addition of a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, suspending agent, or emulsifying agent. Capsule forms can be of the ordinary hard- or soft-shelled gelatin type containing, for example, surfactants, lubricants, and inert fillers, such as lactose, sucrose, calcium phosphate, and cornstarch. Tablet forms can include one or more of lactose, sucrose, mannitol, corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, acacia, gelatin, guar gum, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, and other excipients, colorants, diluents, buffering agents, disintegrating agents, moistening agents, preservatives, flavoring agents, and pharmacologically compatible carriers. Lozenge forms can comprise the active ingredient in a flavor, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth, as well as pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia, emulsions, gels, and the like containing, in addition to the active ingredient, such carriers as are known in the art.


The compounds of the present invention, alone or in combination with other suitable components, can be made into aerosol formulations to be administered via inhalation. These aerosol formulations can be placed into pressurized acceptable propellants, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, nitrogen, and the like. They also may be formulated as pharmaceuticals for non-pressured preparations, such as in a nebulizer or an atomizer.


Formulations suitable for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous, isotonic sterile injection solutions, which can contain anti-oxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, and solutes that render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient, and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions that can include suspending agents, solubilizers, thickening agents, stabilizers, and preservatives. The compound can be administered in a physiologically acceptable diluent in a pharmaceutical carrier, such as a sterile liquid or mixture of liquids, including water, saline, aqueous dextrose and related sugar solutions, an alcohol, such as ethanol, isopropanol, or hexadecyl alcohol, glycols, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol, glycerol ketals, such as 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol, ethers, such as poly(ethyleneglycol) 400, an oil, a fatty acid, a fatty acid ester or glyceride, or an acetylated fatty acid glyceride with or without the addition of a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, such as a soap or a detergent, suspending agent, such as pectin, carbomers, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, or carboxymethylcellulose, or emulsifying agents and other pharmaceutical adjuvants.


Oils, which can be used in parenteral formulations include petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic oils. Specific examples of oils include peanut, soybean, sesame, cottonseed, corn, olive, petrolatum, and mineral. Suitable fatty acids for use in parenteral formulations include oleic acid, stearic acid, and isostearic acid. Ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate are examples of suitable fatty acid esters. Suitable soaps for use in parenteral formulations include fatty alkali metal, ammonium, and triethanolamine salts, and suitable detergents include (a) cationic detergents such as, for example, dimethyl dialkyl ammonium halides, and alkyl pyridinium halides, (b) anionic detergents such as, for example, alkyl, aryl, and olefin sulfonates, alkyl, olefin, ether, and monoglyceride sulfates, and sulfosuccinates, (c) nonionic detergents such as, for example, fatty amine oxides, fatty acid alkanolamides, and polyoxyethylene-polypropylene copolymers, (d) amphoteric detergents such as, for example, alkyl-beta-aminopropionates, and 2-alkyl-imidazoline quaternary ammonium salts, and (3) mixtures thereof.


The parenteral formulations typically contain from about 0.5 to about 25% by weight of the active ingredient in solution. Suitable preservatives and buffers can be used in such formulations. In order to minimize or eliminate irritation at the site of injection, such compositions may contain one or more nonionic surfactants having a hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) of from about 12 to about 17. The quantity of surfactant in such formulations ranges from about 5 to about 15% by weight. Suitable surfactants include polyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, such as sorbitan monooleate and the high molecular weight adducts of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base, formed by the condensation of propylene oxide with propylene glycol. The parenteral formulations can be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose sealed containers, such as ampoules and vials, and can be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example, water, for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets of the kind previously described.


The compounds of the present invention may be made into injectable formulations. The requirements for effective pharmaceutical carriers for injectable compositions are well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. See Pharmaceutics and Pharmacy Practice, J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia, Pa., Banker and Chalmers, eds., pages 238-250 (1982), and ASHP Handbook on Injectable Drugs, Toissel, 4th ed., pages 622-630 (1986).


Additionally, the compounds of the present invention may be made into suppositories by mixing with a variety of bases, such as emulsifying bases or water-soluble bases. Formulations suitable for vaginal administration may be presented as pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulas containing, in addition to the active ingredient, such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.


Suitable carriers and their formulations are further described in A. R. Gennaro, ed., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (19th ed.), Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa. (1995).


The compound of the invention or a composition thereof can be administered as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid-addition, base neutralized or addition salt, formed by reaction with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, perchloric acid, nitric acid, thiocyanic acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid, and organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, and fumaric acid, or by reaction with an inorganic base, such as sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and organic bases, such as mono-, di-, trialkyl, and aryl amines and substituted ethanolamines. The conversion to a salt is accomplished by treatment of the base compound with at least a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate acid. Typically, the free base is dissolved in an inert organic solvent such as diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, ethanol, methanol, and the like, and the acid is added in a similar solvent. The mixture is maintained at a suitable temperature (e.g., between 0° C. and 50° C.). The resulting salt precipitates spontaneously or can be brought out of solution with a less polar solvent.


The neutral forms of the compounds can be regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents, but otherwise the salts are equivalent to the parent form of the compound for the purposes of the present invention.


It should be recognized that the particular counterion forming a part of any salt of this invention is usually not of a critical nature, so long as the salt as a whole is pharmacologically acceptable and as long as the counterion does not contribute undesired qualities to the salt as a whole.


It is further understood that the above compounds and salts may form solvates, or exist in a substantially uncomplexed form, such as the anhydrous form. As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to a molecular complex wherein the solvent molecule, such as the crystallizing solvent, is incorporated into the crystal lattice. When the solvent incorporated in the solvate is water, the molecular complex is called a hydrate. Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates include hydrates, alcoholates such as methanolates and ethanolates, acetonitrilates and the like. These compounds can also exist in polymorphic forms.

EXAMPLES

The following examples further illustrate the invention but, of course, should not be construed as in any way limiting its scope.


Materials and Methods


Cell culture. Asexual parasites of P. falciparum strain 3D7 were cultured as described previously [Trager W, et al., Journal of Parasitology 2005, 91: 484-486]. Stage III-V gametocytes were selected and enriched with 3-day treatment with 50 mM N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and the following Percoll density gradient centrifugation after gametocyte production [Tanaka T Q, et al., Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2011, 177: 160-163]. Gametocytes of HB3 and Dd2 strains were produced and then set up for assay in a similar process. HepG2 cells (ATCC, cat. no. 77400) were cultured in 175-cm2 tissue culture flasks with 30 ml growth medium at 37° C. in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. Growth medium was made with Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Growth medium was replaced every other day and cells were passed at 75% confluence.


Compound library and gametocyte assay screen. The approved drug library was collected with 4,265 compounds from traditional chemical suppliers, specialty collections, pharmacies and custom synthesis [Huang R et al., Science Translational Medicine, 2011, 3: 80ps16] that included 49% drugs approved for human or animal use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 23% approved in Canada/UK/EU/Japan, and the remaining 28% either in clinical trials or research tool compounds. The Malaria Box contained 400 drugs or tool compounds with the confirmed activities on blood-staged P. falciparum and assessed cytotoxicity against mammalian cells [Gamo F J et al., Nature, 2010 465: 305-U356; Guiguemde W A et al., Nature, 2010, 465: 311-315]. The MIPE library was an internal collection of 550 kinase inhibitors, which contain approved drugs and drug candidates in preclinical and clinical stages [Mathews L A et al., Journal of Biomolecular Screening, 2012, 17: 1231-1242]. Compounds from all libraries were obtained as powder samples and dissolved in DMSO as 10 mM stock solutions, except several hundreds from the approved drug library that were prepared as 4.47 mM stock solutions due to solubility limitations.


Compound screening experiments were performed as previously described [Tanaka T Q et al., Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2013, 3188: 20-25]. Briefly, 2.5 μl/well incomplete medium was dispensed into each well of 1,536-well plates using the Multidrop Combi followed by 23 nl compound transferring using the NX-TR Pintool (WAKO Scientific Solutions, San Diego, Calif.). 2.5 μl/well of gametocytes was dispensed with a seeding density of 20,000 cells/well using the Multidrop Combi. The assay plates were incubated for 72 h at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After addition of 5 μl/well of 2×AlamarBlue dye (Life Technologies, cat. no. DAL1100), the plates were incubated for 24 h at 37° C. with 5% CO2 and were read in a fluorescence detection mode (Ex=525 nm, Em=598 nm) on a ViewLux plate reader (PerkinElmer).


Small molecule pull-down. Affinity matrix: To make a bead-connected affinity probe of Torin 2, a tetraethylene glycol linker was attached to 1-(piperazin-1-yl)propan-1-one of HWW030 and then coupled to Affi-Gel 10 resin (Bio-Rad Laboratories, cat. no. 153-6046) under mild basic conditions to afford Torin 2 matrix (T2M). Torin 1 was similarly immobilized to resin and used as a negative control (TIM). The resultant affinities probes were incubated with gametocyte lysates, the bound proteins were eluted from resin by boiling in SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer. The eluted fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized by silver staining. RBC infected with gametocytes (3D7 strain: Stage III-V) were washed 3 times with PBS and then lysed by 0.05% saponin treatment in PBS for 5 min at room temperature. The prepared gametocytes were washed 3 times with PBS and frozen at −80° C. The affinity precipitation experiment was processed as previously described [Zhang Q et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2007, 104: 7444-7448; Arastu-Kapur S et al., Nature Chemical Biology, 2008, 4: 203-213]. The frozen samples were lysed with homogenization buffer (60 mM glycerophosphate, 15 mM p-nitrophenyl phosphate, 25 mM MOPS (pH 7.2), 15 mM EGTA, 15 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, cat. no. 11836170001), and 0.5% Nonidet P-40). Cell lysates were centrifuged at 16,000×g for 20 min at 4° C., and the supernatant was collected. Protein concentration in the supernatant was determined by using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce Chemical, cat. no. 23225). The lysate (0.5 mg) was then added to the packed affinity matrix, and bead buffer (50 mM Tris HCl (pH 7.4), 5 mM NaF, 250 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 5 mM EGTA, protease inhibitors, and 0.1% Nonidet P-40) was added to a final volume of 1 ml. After rotating at 4° C. for 2 h, the mixture was centrifuged at 16,000×g for 2 min at 4° C., and the supernatant was removed. The affinity matrix was then washed (six times) with cold bead buffer and eluted by boiling with SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer at 95° C. for 5 min. Supernatants were separated on a 10% Bis-Tris gel (Life Technologies, cat. no. NPO315BOX) and visualized by silver staining using a Pierce Silver Stain Kit for Mass Spectrometry (Pierce Chemical, cat. no. 24600).


DARTS (drug affinity responsive target stability). The 3D7 gametocytes were lysed with M-PER supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors as previously described [Lomenick B et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009, 106: 21984-21989]. After centrifugation at 16,000×g for 20 min, protein concentration in the supernatant was quantified and 2 μg/μl proteins were treated with 600 nM of Torin 2 or 600 nM of Torin 1 for 2 h at room temperature. The samples were treated with 46 μg/ml pronase (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. no. P6911) for 30 min at room temperature. The digestion was stopped by adding the SDS-PAGE sample loading buffer and boiled at 70° C. for 10 min. The samples were separated on a 10% Bis-Tris gel and visualized by silver staining.


Malaria Mouse Model. Plasmodium berghei ANKA (Pb) parasites were maintained by serial passage by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection in outbred mice. Two days before feeding, female mice were infected i.p. with 200-400 μl whole blood from a Pb-infected mouse with >10% parasitemia. On the day of feeding, the mice were checked for exflagellation and injected intravenously (i.v.) with drug vehicle alone (10% N-methylpyrrolidnone, 40% PEG 400 in water), or (a) 2-4 mg/kg Torin 2 (one or two doses), (b) 8 mg/kg NVP-AUY922 (two doses), or (c) 8 mg/kg Alvespimycin (two doses). Two hours post treatment, mice were anesthetized and Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes were allowed to feed on infected mice for 15 minutes. Parasitemia, gametocytemia, and presence of exflagellation were examined as described previously [Blagborough A M et al., Nature Communications, 2013, 4: 1812]. Mosquitoes were maintained on 5% (w/v) glucose at 19° C. and 80% relative humidity. At day 10 post feeding, mosquito midguts were dissected and transmission was measured by staining mosquito midguts with 0.2% mercurochrome and counting the numbers of oocysts per midgut.


Data analysis. The primary screen data was analyzed using customized software developed internally [Wang Y et al., Current Chemical Genomics 2010, 4: 57-66]. IC50 values were calculated using the Prism software (Graphpad Software, Inc. San Diego, Calif.). Data were presented as means SEM with n=3 independent experiments.


General experimental details. All commercially available reagents, compounds, and solvents were purchased and used without further purification. Column chromatography on silica gel was performed on RediSep column using the Teledyne ISCO combiflash Rf system. Preparative purification was performed on a Waters semi-preparative HPLC. The column used was a Phenomenex Luna C18 (5 micron, 30×75 mm) at a flow rate of 45 mL/min. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water (each containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid). A gradient of 10% to 50% acetonitrile over 8 minutes was used during the purification. Fraction collection was triggered by UVdetection (220 nm).



1H spectra were recorded using an 400 MHz spectrometer (Varian & Bruker). Samples were analyzed on Shimadzu 20 series LC/MS using Xtimate C18 (2.1*30 mm, 3 um) column and a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase was a mixture of acetonitrile (Mobile Phase B, containing 0.01875% trifluoroacetic acid) and H2O (Mobile Phase A, containing 0.0375% trifluoroacetic acid). A gradient of 10% to 80% acetonitrile over 6 minutes and holding at 80% for 0.5 minutes was used during analytical analysis.


Example 1

This example illustrates a method of assaying an in vitro drug activity on gametocytes.


Stage III-V gametocytes (blood stage P. falciparum parasites) were enriched with treatment with 50 mM N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and Percoll density gradient centrifugation as described previously1. Briefly, 2.5 μl/well complete medium was dispensed into each well of 1,536-well plates using the Multidrop Combi followed by 23 nl compound transfer using the NX-TR Pintool (WAKO Scientific Solutions, San Diego, Calif.). Then, 2.5 μl/well of gametocytes was dispensed with a seeding density of 20,000 cells/well using the Multidrop Combi. The assay plates were incubated for 72 h at 37° C. with 5% CO2. After addition of 5 μl/well of 2×AlamarBlue dye (Life Technologies, cat. no. DAL1100), the plates were incubated for 24 h at 37° C. with 5% CO2 and then were read in a fluorescence detection mode (Ex=525 nm, Em=598 nm) on a ViewLux plate reader (PerkinElmer).


Example 2

This example illustrates a method of assaying the in vitro drug activity on asexual parasites in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.


Asexual parasites of P. falciparum strain 3D7 were cultured as described previously (Trager, W. et al., J. Parasitol. 2005, 91(3): 484-486). Drug activity on asexual stage parasites was tested using a SYBR Green assay as described previously (Eastman, R. T. et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2013, 57(1): 425-435; Smilkstein, M. et al., Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2004, 48(5): 1803-1806). Briefly, parasites were diluted to 0.5% parasitemia in complete culture medium with 2% hematocrit and drugs diluted in DMSO (<0.5%) and were loaded into a 96-well plate (200 μl/well). No drug and RBC alone wells were included as positive and background controls, respectively, and each testing condition was examined in duplicated. After 72 h incubation under the standard culture condition and a freeze-thaw lysis step at −80° C. and room temperature, 100 μl/well of lysis buffer containing SYBR Green I was added to the parasite culture and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The fluorescence of each well was measured at 520 nm following excitation at 490 nm using a FLUOstar Optima™ microplate reader (BMG Labtech).
