The present disclosure relates to compounds that modulate SARM1, compositions comprising the compounds, methods of preparing the compounds, and methods of using the compounds to treat various diseases or conditions, e.g., those caused by axonal degeneration.
Axonal degeneration causes disease progression and accumulation of disability in many degenerative diseases of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous systems (CNS), such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or acute conditions such as traumatic brain injury. (Hughes R O, Bosanac T, Mao X, Engber T M, DiAntonio A, Milbrandt J, Devraj R, Krauss R.

Therefore, axonal protection is an important neuroprotective approach to treatment in chronic and acute CNS and PNS neurodegenerative disorders.

SARM1 (Sterile Alpha and TIR Motif-containing 1) is a unique member of the Myd88 family of adaptor proteins and is considered a major driver of an evolutionarily conserved program of axonal degeneration downstream of chemical, inflammatory, mechanical or metabolic insults to the axon. (Hughes R O, Bosanac T, Mao X, Engber T M, DiAntonio A, Milbrandt J, Devraj R, Krauss R. Small Molecule SARM1 Inhibitors Recapitulate the SARM1−/− Phenotype and Allow Recovery of a Metastable Pool of Axons Fated to Degenerate. Cell Rep. 2021 Jan. 5; 34(1):108588. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2020.108588. PMID: 33406435; PMCID: PMC8179325.)

PMID: 33964142). SARM1 has been recognized as a central mediator of axonal degeneration in a number of diseases or conditions, including ALS, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and diabetic neuropathy, as well as chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), which is a major cause of morbidity and the main cause of dose reductions and discontinuations in cancer treatment.

SARM1 is a compelling target to treat neurodegeneration characterized by axonopathies of the peripheral and central nervous systems SARM1 contains a mitochondrial targeting sequence, an N-terminal domain with armadillo repeats (ARM), two sterile α-motif (SAM) domains, and a Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain (Gerdts J, Summers D W, Sasaki Y, DiAntonio A, Milbrandt J. Sarml-mediated axon degeneration requires both SAM and TIR interactions. J Neurosci. 2013 Aug. 14; 33(33):13569-80. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1197-13.2013. PMID: 23946415; PMCID: PMC3742939.) The SARM1 TIR domain is a NAD+hydrolases (NADase), which convert the NAD+ to ADPR or cADPR and NAM (Sporny M, Guez-Haddad J, Lebendiker M, Ulisse V, Volf A, Mim C, Isupov M N, Opatowsky Y. Structural Evidence for an Octameric Ring Arrangement of SARM1. J Mol Biol. 2019 Sep. 6; 431(19):3591-3605. doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.06.030. Epub 2019 Jul. 3. PMID: 31278906). This NADase activity is essential for its axonal degenerative function. (Bosanac T, Hughes R O, Engber T, Devraj R, Brearley A, Danker K, Young K, Kopatz J, Hermann M, Berthemy A, Boyce S, Bentley J, Krauss R.

PMID: 33964142). The activity of SARM1 also depends on the oligomerization formed through SAM domain (Sporny M, Guez-Haddad J, Lebendiker M, Ulisse V, Volf A, Mim C, Isupov M N, Opatowsky Y. Structural Evidence for an Octameric Ring Arrangement of SARM1. J Mol Biol. 2019 Sep. 6; 431(19):3591-3605. doi: 10.1016/j.jmb.2019.06.030. Epub 2019 Jul. 3. PMID: 31278906) and is autoinhibited by the ARM domain (Shen C, Vohra M, Zhang P, Mao X, Figley M D, Zhu J, Sasaki Y, Wu H, DiAntonio A, Milbrandt J. Multiple domain interfaces mediate SARM1 autoinhibition. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 2021 Jan. 26; 118(4):e2023151118. doi: 10.1073/pnas.2023151118. PMID: 33468661; PMCID: PMC7848697).

A “non-aromatic” ring refers to a carbocyclic or heterocyclic that does not meet the requirements set forth above for an aromatic ring, and can be either completely or partially saturated. Non-limiting examples of aromatic rings include aryl and heteroaryl rings that are further defined as follows. An “aromatic ring” may be depicted as a cycle with conjugated double bonds, such as
or as a cycle with an inside circle such as
The term “aryl” herein refers to a group selected from: monocyclic carbocyclic aromatic rings, for example, phenyl; bicyclic ring systems such as 7-12 membered, e.g., 9-10 membered, bicyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, selected, for example, from naphthalene, indane, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline; and tricyclic ring systems such as 10-15 membered tricyclic ring systems wherein at least one ring is carbocyclic and aromatic, for example, fluorene.
For example, the aryl group may be a 6-membered carbocyclic aromatic ring fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl or heterocyclic ring optionally comprising at least one heteroatom selected from N, O, and S, provided that the point of attachment is at the carbocyclic aromatic ring when the carbocyclic aromatic ring is fused with a heterocyclic ring, and the point of attachment can be at the carbocyclic aromatic ring or at the cycloalkyl group when the carbocyclic aromatic ring is fused with a cycloalkyl group. Bivalent radicals formed from substituted benzene derivatives and having the free valences at ring atoms are named as substituted phenylene radicals. Bivalent radicals derived from univalent polycyclic hydrocarbon radicals whose names end in “-yl” by removal of one hydrogen atom from the carbon atom with the free valence are named by adding “-idene” to the name of the corresponding univalent radical, e.g., a naphthyl group with two points of attachment is termed naphthylidene.
The term “heteroaryl” refers to a group selected from: 5- to 7-membered, e.g., 5- to 6-membered, aromatic, monocyclic rings comprising 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms selected from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon; 8- to 12-membered bicyclic rings comprising 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, selected from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon and wherein at least one ring is aromatic and at least one heteroatom is present in the aromatic ring; and 11- to 14-membered tricyclic rings comprising 1, 2, 3, or 4 heteroatoms, selected from N, O, and S, with the remaining ring atoms being carbon and wherein at least one ring is aromatic and at least one heteroatom is present in an aromatic ring.
For example, the heteroaryl group may be a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring fused to a 5- to 7-membered cycloalkyl ring. For such fused, bicyclic heteroaryl ring systems wherein only one of the rings comprises at least one heteroatom, the point of attachment may be at the heteroaromatic ring or at the cycloalkyl ring.
When the total number of S and O atoms in the heteroaryl group exceeds 1, those heteroatoms are not adjacent to one another.

The term “acyl” refers to a substituent group where a point of attachment in the substituent group is a carbonyl. Exemplary acyl groups include, but are not limited to, —C(═O)R′, —C(═O)NR′R″, or —C(═O)OR′, wherein R′ and R″ are independently selected from hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heteroalkyl, heteroalkenyl, heteroalkynyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, or heteroaryl, any of which may be further substituted by one or more substituents.
Some of the compounds may exist with different points of attachment of hydrogen, referred to as “tautomers.” For example, compounds including carbonyl —CH2C(O)— groups (keto forms) may undergo tautomerism to form hydroxyl —CH═C(OH)— groups (enol forms). Both keto and enol forms, individually as well as mixtures thereof, are also intended to be included where applicable.
The compounds, tautomers, solvates, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the disclosure may contain an asymmetric center and may thus exist as enantiomers. For example, where the compounds possess two or more asymmetric centers, they may additionally exist as diastereoisomers. Enantiomers and diastereoisomers fall within the broader class of stereoisomers. All such possible stereoisomers as substantially pure resolved enantiomers, racemic mixtures thereof, as well as mixtures of diastereoisomers are intended to be included in this disclosure. All stereoisomers of the compounds, tautomers, solvates, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are intended to be included. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, reference to one isomer applies to any of the possible isomers. Whenever the isomeric composition is unspecified, all possible isomers are included.
Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereoisomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereoisomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.
A single stereoisomer, e.g., a substantially pure enantiomer, may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereoisomers using optically active resolving agents. Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds of the disclosure can be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including: (1) formation of ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separation by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) formation of diastereomeric compounds with chiral derivatizing reagents, separation of the diastereoisomers, and conversion to the pure stereoisomers, and (3) separation of the substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers directly under chiral conditions.
The term “substantially pure” in the context of stereoisomers means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 35%, such as no more than 30%, further such as no more than 25%, even further such as no more than 20%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s). In some embodiments, the term “substantially pure” means that the target stereoisomer contains no more than 10%, for example, no more than 5%, such as no more than 1%, by weight of any other stereoisomer(s).
Unless otherwise indicated, structures depicted herein are meant to include all isomeric forms of the structure, e.g., racemic mixtures, cis/trans isomers, geometric (or conformational) isomers, such as (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, geometric and conformational mixtures of the compounds disclosed herein are within the scope of the disclosure. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the disclosure are within the scope of the disclosure.
The disclosure provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the disclosed compounds, tautomers, solvates, and stereoisomers. A salt of a compound is formed between an acid and a basic group of the compound, such as an amino functional group, or a base and an acidic group of the compound, such as a carboxyl functional group.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable,” as used herein, refers to a component that is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and other mammals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. A “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” means any non-toxic salt that, upon administration to a recipient, is capable of providing, either directly or indirectly, a compound of this disclosure.
“Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” include, but are not limited to salts with inorganic acids, selected, for example, from hydrochlorates, phosphates, diphosphates, hydrobromates, sulfates, sulfinates, and nitrates; as well as salts with organic acids, selected, for example, from malates, maleates, fumarates, tartrates, succinates, citrates, lactates, methanesulfonates, p-toluenesulfonates, 2-hydroxyethylsulfonates, benzoates, salicylates, stearates, alkanoates such as acetate, and salts with HOOC—(CH2)n-COOH, wherein n is selected from 0 to 4. Similarly, examples of pharmaceutically acceptable cations include, but are not limited to, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, lithium, and ammonium. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts are, for example, those disclosed in S. M. Berge, et al. J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, pp. 1 to 19.
Acids commonly employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts include inorganic acids such as hydrogen bisulfide, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, as well as organic acids such as para-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, tartaric acid, bitartaric acid, ascorbic acid, maleic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, fumaric acid, gluconic acid, glucuronic acid, formic acid, glutamic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, para-bromophenylsulfonic acid, carbonic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, and acetic acid. Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts thus include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, chloride, bromide, iodide, acetate, propionate, decanoate (i.e., caprate), caprylate, acrylate, formate, isobutyrate, heptanoate, propiolate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, butyne-1,4-dioate, hexyne-1,6-dioate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, hydroxybenzoate, methoxybenzoate, phthalate, terephthalate, sulfonate, xylene sulfonate, phenylacetate, phenylpropionate, phenylbutyrate, citrate, lactate, β-hydroxybutyrate, glycolate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, propanesulfonate, naphthalene-1-sulfonate, naphthalene-2-sulfonate, mandelate and other salts. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those formed with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid and hydrobromic acid, and those formed with organic acids such as maleic acid.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N+(C14 alkyl)4 salts. This disclosure also envisions the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups of the compounds disclosed herein. Suitable non-limiting examples of alkali and alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium salts. Further non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include salts of ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate. Other suitable, non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include besylate and glucosamine salts.
If a compound is obtained as an acid addition salt, the free base can be obtained by basifying a solution of the acid addition salt. Conversely, if the product is a free base, an addition salt, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt, may be produced by dissolving the free base in a suitable organic solvent and treating the solution with an acid, in accordance with conventional procedures for preparing acid addition salts from base compounds. Those skilled in the art will recognize various synthetic methodologies that may be used without undue experimentation to prepare non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts.
The compounds, tautomers, solvates, stereoisomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the disclosure may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, —CD3, —CD2H or —CDH2 contains one or more deuteriums in place of hydrogen. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the disclosure, whether radioactive or not, are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the disclosure.
As used herein, “optionally substituted” is interchangeable with the phrase “substituted or unsubstituted.” In general, the term “substituted,” refers to the replacement of a hydrogen radical in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an “optionally substituted” group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure may be substituted with more than one substituent chosen from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at every position. Combinations of substituents envisioned by this disclosure are those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.
In some embodiments, substituents are independently selected from optionally substituted heteroatom and optionally substituted, optionally hetero-, optionally cyclic C1-C18 hydrocarbyl, particularly wherein the optionally substituted, optionally hetero-, optionally cyclic C1-C18 hydrocarbyl is optionally-substituted, optionally hetero-, optionally cyclic alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, or optionally-substituted, optionally hetero-, aryl; and/or the optionally substituted heteroatom is halogen, optionally substituted hydroxyl (such as alkoxy, aryloxy), optionally substituted acyl (such as formyl, alkanoyl, carbamoyl, carboxyl, amido), optionally substituted amino (such as amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, amido, sulfamidyl), optionally substituted thiol (such as mercapto, alkylthiol, aryl thiol), optionally substituted sulfinyl or sulfonyl (such as alkylsulfinyl, arylsulfinyl, alkyl sulfonyl, arylsulfonyl), nitro, or cyano.

When the aryl group is 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenyl, it may be substituted with a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C7 spirocycloalkyl group. The C3-C7 spirocycloalkyl group may be substituted in the same manner as defined herein for “cycloalkyl.”
