Blood coagulation is the first line of defense against blood loss following injury. The blood coagulation “cascade” involves a number of circulating serine protease zymogens, regulatory cofactors and inhibitors. Each enzyme, once generated from its zymogen, specifically cleaves the next zymogen in the cascade to produce an active protease. This process is repeated until finally thrombin cleaves the fibrinopeptides from fibrinogen to produce fibrin that polymerizes to form a blood clot. Although efficient clotting limits the loss of blood at a site of trauma, it also poses the risk of systemic coagulation resulting in massive thrombosis. Under normal circumstances, hemostasis maintains a balance between clot formation (coagulation) and clot dissolution (fibrinolysis). However, in certain disease states such as acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, the rupture of an established atherosclerotic plaque results in abnormal thrombus formation in the coronary arterial vasculature.
Diseases that stem from blood coagulation, such as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, atrial fibrillation, stroke, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis, are among the leading causes of death in developed countries. Current anticoagulant therapies, such as injectable unfractionated and low molecular weight (LMW) heparin and orally administered warfarin (coumadin), carry the risk of bleeding episodes and display patient-to-patient variability that results in the need for close monitoring and titration of therapeutic doses. Consequently, there is a large medical need for novel anticoagulation drugs that lack some or all of the side effects of currently available drugs.
Factor XIa is an attractive therapeutic target involved in the pathway associated with these diseases. Increased levels of Factor XIa or Factor XIa activity have been observed in several thromboembolic disorders, including venous thrombosis (Meijers et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 342:696, 2000), acute myocardial infarction (Minnema et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol 20:2489, 2000), acute coronary syndrome (Butenas et al., Thromb Haemost 99:142, 2008), coronary artery disease (Butenas et al., Thromb Haemost 99:142, 2008), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Jankowski et al., Thromb Res 127:242, 2011), aortic stenosis (Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis, 22:473, 2011), acute cerebrovascular ischemia (Undas et al., Eur J Clin Invest, 42:123, 2012), and systolic heart failure due to ischemic cardiomyopathy (Zabcyk et al., Pol Arch Med Wewn. 120:334, 2010). Patients that lack Factor XI because of a genetic Factor XI deficiency exhibit few, if any, ischemic strokes (Salomon et al., Blood, 111:4113, 2008). At the same time, loss of Factor XIa activity, which leaves one of the pathways that initiate coagulation intact, does not disrupt hemostasis. In humans, Factor XI deficiency can result in a mild-to-moderate bleeding disorder, especially in tissues with high levels of local fibrinolytic activity, such as the urinary tract, nose, oral cavity, and tonsils. Moreover, hemostasis is nearly normal in Factor XI-deficient mice (Gailani, Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis, 8:134, 1997). Furthermore, inhibition of Factor XI has also been found to attenuate arterial hypertension and other diseases and dysfunctions, including vascular inflammation (Kossmann et al. Sci. Transl. Med. 9, eaah4923 (2017)).
Consequently, compounds that inhibit Factor XIa have the potential to prevent or treat a wide range of disorders while avoiding the side effects and therapeutic challenges that plague drugs that inhibit other components of the coagulation pathway. Moreover, due to the limited efficacy and adverse side effects of some current therapeutics for the inhibition of undesirable thrombosis (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, hepatic vein thrombosis, and stroke), improved compounds and methods (e.g., those associated with Factor XIa) are needed for preventing or treating undesirable thrombosis.
Another therapeutic target is the enzyme kallikrein. Human plasma kallikrein is a serine protease that may be responsible for activating several downstream factors (e.g., bradykinin and plasmin) that are critical for coagulation and control of e.g., blood pressure, inflammation, and pain. Kallikreins are expressed e.g., in the prostate, epidermis, and the central nervous system (CNS) and may participate in e.g., the regulation of semen liquefaction, cleavage of cellular adhesion proteins, and neuronal plasticity in the CNS. Moreover, kallikreins may be involved in tumorigenesis and the development of cancer and angioedema, e.g., hereditary angioedema. Overactivation of the kallikrein-kinin pathway can result in a number of disorders, including angioedema, e.g., hereditary angioedema (Schneider et al., J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 120:2, 416, 2007). To date, there are limited treatment options for HAE (e.g., WO2003/076458). As such, therapeutics are needed for preventing or treating these diseases.
The present invention features compounds that inhibit Factor XIa or kallikrein and methods for preventing or treating undesired thrombosis or angiodema (e.g., hereditary angiodema) by administering one or more of these compounds alone or in combination with other molecules to a mammal. The invention also provides methods for designing or selecting additional Factor XIa or kallikrein inhibitors using these structures. Desirably, these compounds have certain structural, physical, and spatial characteristics that enable the compounds to interact with specific residues of the active site of Factor XIa or kallikrein.

The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) can inhibit Factor XIa or kallikrein. In some embodiments, a compound described herein can inhibit both Factor XIa and kallikrein. As a result, these compounds can be useful in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of a disorder described herein.
Exemplary disorders include thrombotic events associated with coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease, venous or arterial thrombosis, coagulation syndromes, ischemia (e.g., coronary ischemia) and angina (stable and unstable), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), hepatic vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction (e.g., ST-elevation myocardial infarction or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (e.g., non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction before catheterization), cerebral infarction, cerebral thrombosis, transient ischemic attacks, atrial fibrillation (e.g., non-valvular atrial fibrillation), cerebral embolism, thromboembolic complications of surgery (e.g., hip or knee replacement, orthopedic surgery, cardiac surgery, lung surgery, abdominal surgery, or endarterectomy) and peripheral arterial occlusion and may also be useful in treating or preventing myocardial infarction, stroke (e.g., large vessel acute ischemic stroke), angina and other consequences of atherosclerotic plaque rupture. The compounds of the invention possessing Factor XIa or kallikrein inhibition activity may also be useful in preventing thromboembolic disorders, e.g., venous thromboembolisms, in cancer patients, including those receiving chemotherapy and/or those with elevated lactase dehydrogenase (LDH) levels, and to prevent thromboembolic events at or following tissue plasminogen activator-based or mechanical restoration of blood vessel patency. The compounds of the invention possessing Factor XIa or kallikrein inhibition activity may also be useful as inhibitors of blood coagulation such as during the preparation, storage and fractionation of whole blood. Additionally, the compounds described herein may be used in acute hospital settings or periprocedurally, where a patient is at risk of a thromboembolic disorder or complication, and also in patients who are in a heightened coagulation state, e.g., cancer patients.
Factor XIa inhibition, according to the present invention, can be a more effective and safer method of inhibiting thrombosis compared to inhibiting other coagulation serine proteases such as thrombin or Factor Xa. Administration of a small molecule Factor XIa inhibitor should have the effect of inhibiting thrombin generation and clot formation with no or substantially no effect on bleeding times and little or no impairment of haemostasis. These results differ substantially from that of other “direct acting” coagulation protease inhibitors (e.g., active-site inhibitors of thrombin and Factor Xa), which demonstrate prolongation of bleeding time and less separation between antithrombotic efficacy and bleeding time prolongation. A preferred method according to the invention comprises administering to a mammal a pharmaceutical composition containing at least one compound of the invention.
The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) can inhibit kallikrein. As a result, these compounds can be useful in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of diseases involved in inflammation, such as edema (e.g., cerebral edema, macular edema, and angioedema (e.g., hereditary angioedema)). In some embodiments, the compounds of the invention can be useful in the treatment or prevention of hereditary angioedema. The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) can also be useful in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of, e.g., stroke, ischemia (e.g., coronary ischemia), and perioperative blood loss for example, Compound 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The methods of the present invention are useful for treating or preventing those conditions which involve the action of Factor XIa or kallikrein. Accordingly, the methods of the present invention are useful in treating consequences of atherosclerotic plaque rupture including cardiovascular diseases associated with the activation of the coagulation cascade in thrombotic or thrombophilic states.
More particularly, the methods of the present invention can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of acute coronary syndromes such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, unstable angina (including crescendo angina), ischemia (e.g., ischemia resulting from vascular occlusion), and cerebral infarction. The methods of the present invention further may be useful in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of stroke (e.g., large vessel acute ischemic stroke) and related cerebral vascular diseases (including cerebrovascular accident, vascular dementia, and transient ischemic attack); venous thrombosis and thrombo-embolism, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism; thrombosis associated with atrial fibrillation, ventricular enlargement, dilated cardiac myopathy, or heart failure; peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication; the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and transplant atherosclerosis; restenosis following arterial injury induced endogenously (by rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque), or exogenously (by invasive cardiological procedures such as vessel wall injury resulting from angioplasty or post-cranial artery stenting); disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, cerebral thrombosis, and cerebral embolism.
Additionally, the methods of the present invention can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis (e.g., preventing), or reduction in the risk of thromboembolic consequences or complications associated with cancer, thrombectomy, surgery (e.g., hip replacement, orthopedic surgery), endarterectomy, introduction of artificial heart valves, peripheral vascular interventions (e.g., of the limbs), cerebrovascular interventions, large bore interventions used in the treatment of aneurysms, vascular grafts, mechanical organs, and implantation (e.g., trans-catheter aortic valve implantation) or transplantation of organs, (e.g., transplantation of the liver), tissue, or cells); percutaneous coronary interventions; catheter ablation; hemophilia therapy; hemodialysis; medications (such as tissue plasminogen activator or similar agents and surgical restoration of blood vessel patency) in patients suffering myocardial infarction, stroke (e.g., large vessel acute ischemic stroke), pulmonary embolism and like conditions; medications (such as oral contraceptives, hormone replacement, and heparin, e.g., for treating heparin-induced thrombocytopenia); sepsis (such as sepsis related to disseminated intravascular coagulation); pregnancy or childbirth; and another chronic medical condition. The methods of the present invention may be used to treat thrombosis due to confinement (e.g., immobilization, hospitalization, bed rest, or limb immobilization, e.g., with immobilizing casts, etc.). In some embodiments, the thromboembolic consequence or complication is associated with a percutaneous coronary intervention.
Additionally, the compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be useful in the treatment, prophylaxis and reduction in the risk of a thromboembolic disorder, e.g., a venous thromboembolism, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, or associated complication in a subject, wherein the subject is exposed to an artificial surface. The artificial surface can contact the subject's blood, for example, as an extracorporeal surface or that of an implantable device. Such artificial surfaces include, but are not limited to, those of dialysis catheters, cardiopulmonary bypass circuits, artificial heart valves, e.g., mechanical heart valves (MHVs), ventricular assist devices, small caliber grafts, central venous catheters, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) apparatuses. Further, the thromboembolic disorder or associated complication may be caused by the artificial surface or associated with the artificial surface. For example, foreign surfaces and various components of mechanical heart valves (MHVs) are pro-thrombotic and promote thrombin generation via the intrinsic pathway of coagulation. Further, thrombin and FXa inhibitors are contraindicated with thromboembolic disorders or associated complications caused by artificial surfaces such as those MHVs, as these inhibitors are ineffective at blocking the intrinsic pathway at plasma levels that will not cause heavy bleeding. The compounds of the present invention, which can be used as, for example, Factor XIa inhibitors, are thus contemplated as alternative therapeutics for these purposes.
The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can also be useful for the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of atrial fibrillation in a subject in need thereof. For example, the subject can have a high risk of developing atrial fibrillation. The subject can also in need of dialysis, such as renal dialysis. The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be administered before, during, or after dialysis. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) currently available on the market, such as certain FXa or thrombin inhibitors, are contraindicated for atrial fibrillation under such a condition. The compounds of the present invention, which can be used as, for example, Factor XIa inhibitors, are thus contemplated as alternative therapeutics for these purposes. Additionally, the subject can be at a high risk of bleeding. In some embodiments, the subject can have end-stage renal disease. In other cases, the subject is not in need of dialysis, such as renal dialysis. Further, the atrial fibrillation can be associated with another thromboembolic disorder such as a blood clot.
Furthermore, the compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of hypertension, e.g., arterial hypertension, in a subject. In some embodiments, the hypertension, e.g., arterial hypertension, can result in atherosclerosis. In some embodiments, the hypertension can be pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Furthermore, the compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of disorders such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, heparin-induced thrombocytopenia thrombosis, or thrombotic microangiopathy, e.g., hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
In some embodiments, the subject is sensitive to or has developed sensitivity to heparin. Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is the development of (a low platelet count), due to the administration of various forms of heparin. HIT is caused by the formation of abnormal antibodies that activate platelets. HIT can be confirmed with specific blood tests. In some embodiments, the subject is resistant to or has developed resistance to heparin. For example, activated clotting time (ACT) test can be performed on the subject to test for sensitivity or resistance towards heparin. The ACT test is a measure of the intrinsic pathway of coagulation that detects the presence of fibrin formation. A subject who is sensitive and/or resistant to standard dose of heparin typically do not reach target anticoagulation time. Common correlates of heparin resistance include, but are not limited to, previous heparin and/or nitroglycerin drips and decreased antithrombin III levels. In some embodiments, the subject has previously been administered an anticoagulant (e.g. bivalirudin/Angiomax).
The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be used to reduce inflammation in a subject. In some embodiments, the inflammation can be vascular inflammation. In some embodiments, the vascular inflammation can be accompanied by atherosclerosis. In some embodiments, the vascular inflammation can be accompanied by a thromboembolic disease in the subject. In some embodiments, the vascular inflammation can be angiotensin II-induced vascular inflammation.
The compounds described herein (e.g., Compound 1) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or compositions thereof can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of renal disorders or dysfunctions, including end-stage renal disease, hypertension-associated renal dysfunction in a subject, kidney fibrosis, and kidney injury.
The methods of the present invention may also be used to maintain blood vessel patency, for example, in patients undergoing thrombectomy, transluminal coronary angioplasty, or in connection with vascular surgery such as bypass grafting, arterial reconstruction, atherectomy, vascular grafts, stent patency, and organ, tissue or cell implantation and transplantation. The inventive methods may be used to inhibit blood coagulation in connection with the preparation, storage, fractionation, or use of whole blood. For example, the inventive methods may be used in maintaining whole and fractionated blood in the fluid phase such as required for analytical and biological testing, e.g., for ex vivo platelet and other cell function studies, bioanalytical procedures, and quantitation of blood-containing components, or for maintaining extracorporeal blood circuits, as in a renal replacement solution (e.g., hemodialysis) or surgery (e.g., open-heart surgery, e.g., coronary artery bypass surgery). In some embodiments, the renal replacement solution can be used to treat patients with acute kidney injury. In some embodiments, the renal replacement solution can be continuous renal replacement therapy.
In addition, the methods of the present invention may be useful in treating and preventing the prothrombotic complications of cancer. The methods may be useful in treating tumor growth, as an adjunct to chemotherapy, for preventing angiogenesis, and for treating cancer, more particularly, cancer of the lung, prostate, colon, breast, ovaries, and bone.
“Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation” (or “ECMO”) as used herein, refers to extracorporeal life support with a blood pump, artificial lung, and vascular access cannula, capable of providing circulatory support or generating blood flow rates adapted to support blood oxygenation, and optionally carbon dioxide removal. In venovenous ECMO, extracorporeal gas exchange is provided to blood that has been withdrawn from the venous system; the blood is then reinfused to the venous system. In venoarterial ECMO, gas exchange is provided to blood that is withdrawn from the venous system and then infused directly into the arterial system to provide partial or complete circulatory or cardiac support. Venoarterial ECMO allows for various degrees of respiratory support.
As used herein, “extracorporeal membrane oxygenation” or “ECMO” refers to extracorporeal life support that provides circulatory support or generates blood flow rates adequate to support blood oxygenation. In some embodiments, ECMO comprises removal of carbon dioxide from a subject's blood. In some embodiments, ECMO is performed using an extracorporeal apparatus selected from the group consisting of a blood pump, artificial lung, and vascular access cannula.
As used herein, “venovenous ECMO” refers to a type of ECMO in which blood is withdrawn from the venous system of a subject into an ECMO apparatus and subjected to gas exchange (including oxygenation of the blood), followed by reinfusion of the withdrawn blood into the subject's venous system. As used herein, “venoarterial ECMO” refers to a type of ECMO in which blood is withdrawn from the venous system of a subject into an ECMO apparatus and subjected to gas exchange (including oxygenation of the blood), followed by infusion of the withdrawn blood directly into the subject's arterial system. In some embodiments, venoarterial ECMO is performed to provide partial circulatory or cardiac support to a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, venoarterial ECMO is performed to provide complete circulatory or cardiac support to a subject in need thereof.
The compounds of the present invention can be used in the treatment, prophylaxis, or reduction in the risk of a thromboembolic disorder in a subject in need thereof, wherein the subject is exposed to an artificial surface such as that of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) apparatus (vide supra), which can be used as a rescue therapy in response to cardiac or pulmonary failure. The surface of an ECMO apparatus that directly contacts the subject can be a pro-thrombotic surface that can result in a thromboembolic disorder such as a venous thromboembolism, e.g., deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, leading to difficulties in treating a patient in need of ECMO. Clots in the circuit are the most common mechanical complication (19%). Major clots can cause oxygenator failure, and pulmonary or systemic emboli.
ECMO is often administered with a continuous infusion of heparin as an anticoagulant to counter clot formation. However, cannula placement can cause damage to the internal jugular vein, which causes massive internal bleeding. Bleeding occurs in 30-40% of patients receiving ECMO and can be life-threatening. This severe bleeding is due to both the necessary continuous heparin infusion and platelet dysfunction. Approximately 50% of reported deaths are due to severe bleeding complications. Aubron et al. Critical Care, 2013, 17:R73 looked at the factors associated with ECMO outcomes.
The compounds of the present invention, which can be used as, for example, Factor XIa inhibitors, are thus contemplated as an alternative replacement for heparin in ECMO therapy. The compounds of the present invention are contemplated as effective agents for blocking the intrinsic pathway at plasma levels that will afford effective anti-coagulation/anti-thrombosis without marked bleeding liabilities. In some embodiments, the subject is sensitive to or has developed sensitivity to heparin. In some embodiments, the subject is resistant to or has developed resistance to heparin.
“Ischemia” or an “ischemic event” is a vascular disease generally involving vascular occlusion or a restriction in blood supply to tissues. Ischemia can cause a shortage of oxygen and glucose needed for cellular metabolism. Ischemia is generally caused by problematic blood vessels that result in damage or dysfunction of tissue. Ischemia can also refer to a local loss in blood or oxygen in a given part of the body resulting from congestion (e.g., vasoconstriction, thrombosis, or embolism). Causes include embolism, thrombosis of an atherosclerosis artery, trauma, venous problems, aneurysm, heart conditions (e.g., myocardial infarction, mitral valve disease, chronic arterial fibrillation, cardiomyopathies, and prosthesis), trauma or traumatic injury (e.g., to an extremity producing partial or total vessel occlusion), thoracic outlet syndrome, atherosclerosis, hypoglycemia, tachycardia, hypotension, outside compression of a blood vessel (e.g., by a tumor), sickle cell disease, localized extreme cold (e.g., by frostbite), tourniquet application, glutamate receptor stimulation, arteriovenous malformations, rupture of significant blood vessels supplying a tissue or organ, and anemia.
A transient ischemic event generally refers to a transient (e.g., short-lived) episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by loss of blood flow (e.g., in the focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal) without acute infarction (e.g., tissue death). In some embodiments, the transient ischemic event lasts for less than 72 hours, 48 hours, 24 hours, 12 hours, 10 hours, 8 hours, 4 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour, 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, or 1 minute.
Angioedema is the rapid swelling of the dermis, subcutaneous tissue, mucosa, and submucosal tissues. Angioedema is typically classified as either hereditary or acquired.
“Acquired angioedema” can be immunologic, non-immunologic, or idiopathic; caused by e.g., allergy, as a side effect of medications, e.g., ACE inhibitor medications.
“Hereditary angioedema” or “HAE” refers to a genetic disorder that results in acute periods of edema (e.g., swelling) that may occur in nearly all parts of the body, including the face, limbs, neck, throat, larynx, extremities, gastrointestinal tract, and genitalia. Attacks of HAE can often be life-threatening, with severity depending on the area affected, e.g., abdominal attacks may result in intestinal obstruction, while swelling of the larynx and upper airway can lead to asphyxiation. Pathogenesis of hereditary angioedema may be related to unopposed activation of the contact pathway by the initial generation of kallikrein or clotting factors (e.g., Factor XII).
Signs and symptoms include swelling, e.g., of the skill of the face, mucosa of the mouth or throat, and tongue. Itchiness, pain, decreased sensation in the affected areas, urticaria (i.e., hives), or stridor of the airway may also be a sign of angioedema. However, there can be no associated itch, or urticaria, e.g., in hereditary angioedema. HAE subjects can experience abdominal pain (e.g., abdominal pain lasting one to five days, abdominal attacks increasing a subject's white blood cell count), vomiting, weakness, watery diarrhea, or rash.
Bradykinin plays an important role in angioedema, particularly hereditary angioedema. Bradykinin is released by various cell types in response to numerous different stimuli and is a pain mediator. Interfering with bradykinin production or degradation can lead to angioedema. In hereditary angioedema, continuous production of enzyme kallikrein can facilitate bradykinin formation. Inhibition of kallikrein can interfere with bradykinin production; and treat or prevent angioedema.

Scheme 1 illustrates a general method for the preparation of Compound 1.HCl.
(R)-1-cyclohexylethanamine was dissolved in DCM and aqueous NaHCO3 solution was added. The heterogeneous mixture was cooled to −2° C. and treated with triphosgene over about 6 h while maintaining the reaction temperature below 5° C. Water was added to the mixture and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was back extracted twice with DCM. The combined DCM phases were concentrated to give a residue. The residue was treated with heptane and cooled to 5-10° C. to give a precipitate. The precipitate was collected and dried to give the title compound in 74% yield.
Below is an exemplary procedure of Example 1.
To a solution of (R)-1-cyclohexylethanamine (0.50 kg, 3.93 mol) in DCM (10.0 L) was added 9% aqueous NaHCO3 solution (10.0 L), and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. Triphosgene (0.38 kg, 1.30 mol) was added to the mixture while maintaining the reaction temperature and agitated for 1 h at 0° C. The reaction was monitored by TLC (100% EA eluent). Water (10 L) was added to the mixture and the phases were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (2×5.0 L). The organic phase was concentrated to dryness without exceeding 45° C. Heptane (2×1 L) was added to the residue and the mixture was concentrated to give a solid. The solid was taken up in heptane (6.0 L), dried over MgSO4, rinsed with heptane (0.5 L) and concentrated to afford (R)-(1-isocyanatoethyl)cyclohexane. Exemplary yields are given in Table 1.

The mixture of 2-amino pyridine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (5.5 kg) and 4-methoxybenzyl chloride (14.64 kg) in 33 L of acetonitrile was heated to reflux for 3 h, then 7.3 kg of Et3N were added slowly into the refluxing mixture; then the reaction was cooled to room temperature and kept stirring overnight. After removal the acetonitrile and Et3N, a large amount of water was added into the mixture, thus precipitating a solid. After centrifugal operation and recrystallization of the solid in 5-10 L isopropanol, the reaction afforded 2-[bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-isonicotinic acid methyl ester (3 kg, 21%) as white solid.
To a 50 L reaction kettle, LiAlH4 (388 g) was added into 16 L of dry THF (0° C.) in batches. Then, 4 kg of 2-[bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-isonicotinic acid methyl ester in THF (16 L) was added into the mixture dropwise, while maintaining the reaction temperature at −5° C. Ethyl acetate (900 g), water (388 g) and 15% NaOH aqueous solution (388 g) were slowly added into the reaction mixture successively. After 10 min of stirring, anhydrous Na2SO4 (1.3 kg) was added to the mixture, and the corresponding mixture was stirred for 30 min. The mixture was vacuum filtered, and the filter cake was washed with THF (12 L), and then filtered. The combined filtrate was concentrated. The resulting solution that contains {2-[bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-pyridin-4-yl}-methanol was used directly in the next step without purification.
{2-[Bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-pyridin-4-yl}-methanol (5 kg) and CBr4 (5 kg) were added into 25 L of DCM, and the reaction solution was kept at 0-10° C. Then a solution of PPh3 (4.32 kg) in 10 L of DCM was added to the reaction solution dropwise. The reaction was tracked by TLC, and if {2-[bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-pyridin-4-yl}-methanol was not completely consumed; PPh3 was added into the reaction mixture until {2-[bis-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-amino]-pyridin-4-yl}-methanol was totally consumed. After removal of the DCM, the reaction afforded an oil-like product. This oil was stirred in 50% EtOH aqueous solution (16 L) at room temperature for 1 h. Then, the mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with a small quantity of 50% EtOH aqueous solution. The residual filter cake was then stirred in 50% EtOH aqueous solution (8 L) at room temperature for another 1 h, filtered, and dried to afford the crystalline solid product (5.2 kg). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.78 (s, 6H), 4.22 (s, 2H), 4.69 (s, 4H), 6.45 (s, 1H), 5.58 (s, 1H), 6.82 (d, 4H), 7.13 (d, 4H), 8.15 (d, 1H).

The reaction was stirred for several hours at −15° C. and then allowed to warm to RT and stirred several hours longer. The mixture was quenched with water and then refluxed for 3 h. The reaction was cooled to RT and treated with 5% aqueous tri-potassium phosphate solution. The phases were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EA to remove impurities. The aqueous phase was acidified to pH 3.1 with 6 N HCl and was extracted with EA. This organic phase was dried and concentrated. Residual EA was chased with heptane to produce a slurry which was cooled and filtered. The filter cake was taken up in 40 volumes of IPA and refluxed about 1 h. The mixture was cooled to RT and undissolved solid impurities were removed by filtration. The IPA filtrate was solvent exchanged with heptane, causing the product to precipitate. The slurry was chilled to 5-10° C. and filtered. The filter cake was dried to afford the title compound in 59% yield.

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of Compound 1 compared to the Standard of Care (SOC), heparin, for preventing activation of blood coagulation components while using the Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) circuit during an extended run time on Day 1 in a mixed breed hound dog model. The study design is shown in Table 11:
aAnimal No. 1001 received 0.6 μg/mL and Animal No. 1004 received 3 mg/mL.
bDoses shown are targets for the dosing on this study; actual dose values are shown in the results section.
The following parameters and endpoints were evaluated in this study: mortality, body weight, physical, clinical pathology parameters (hematology and coagulation), 1212coagulation time, and bioanalytical parameters.
The vehicle and test article were administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once on Day 1 for 135 minutes (initiated 30 minutes prior to starting the Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB) and continuing for 105 minutes of CPB). Group 2 animals received a 0.6 μg/mL or 3.0 mg/mL IV bolus dose immediately prior to the start of IV infusion. Group 3, 4, and 5 animals received a 10 mg/kg IV bolus dose prior to the start of the IV infusion; with the CPB machine primed with test article at 10 μg/mL.
Group 1 had an infusion pump setup with an open system/reservoir. Infusion of the Compound 1 was started 30 minutes prior to the animal being placed on the CPB pump. The CPB pump was primed with 0.9% saline.
Groups 2, 3, and 4 had an infusion pump setup with an open system/reservoir. Venous and arterial sheaths were flushed with the Compound 1 at a concentration of 10 μg/mL. An IV bolus dose of the test article was administered immediately prior to the start of the infusion. Infusion of Compound 1 was started 30 minutes prior to the animal being placed on the CPB pump. The CPB patient was primed with 10 μg/mL of the Compound 1 prior to initiation of the CPB pump.
Group 5 had an infusion pump setup with a closed system/“bag.” Venous and arterial sheaths were then flushed with Compound 1 at 10 μg/mL. An IV bolus dose of the Compound 1 was administered immediately prior to the start of the infusion. Infusion of Compound 1 was started 30 minutes prior to the animal being placed on the CPB pump.
During Compound 1 infusion and prior to CPB, aPTT was moderately to markedly prolonged in all animals (
Administration of the Compound 1 to the model was successful in preventing the activation of blood coagulation in components of cardiopulmonary bypass. The anticoagulant effects of Compound 1 were selective to inhibition of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Additionally, the data demonstrated that adding a bolus dose immediately prior to starting the infusion enabled targeted plasma levels of Compound 1 to rapidly be achieved, along with desired steady state levels, and was sufficient to achieve a successful 105-minute CPB run and prevent coagulation in most of the circuit components.
Overall, these data indicate that Compound 1 may be an acceptable alternative to heparin in preventing blood coagulation in components of cardiopulmonary bypass.
