Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 355,238, filed on June 24, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background Art
[0002] NMDA receptors are heteromeric complexes consisting of NR1, NR2 and / or NR3 subunits and have different recognition sites for exogenous and endogenous ligands. These recognition sites include binding sites for glycine and glutamate agonists and modulators. NMDA receptors are expressed in peripheral tissues and CNS, where they participate in excitatory synaptic transmission. Activating these receptors helps synaptic plasticity in some cases and excitotoxicity in other cases. These receptors allow Ca to bind to glutamate and glycine after the binding. 2+ Entering ligand-gated ion channels and are the basis of excitatory neurotransmission and normal CNS function. Positive modulators can be used as therapeutic agents with potential clinical use as cognitive enhancers and in the treatment of psychiatric disorders with reduced or defective glutamatergic transmission (see, e.g., Horak et al., J. of Neuroscience, 2004, 24(46), 10318-10325).
[0003] Compound 1 disclosed herein is a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of the NMDA receptor. For a positive allosteric NMDA modulator to be a useful therapeutic agent, a proper balance must be achieved between various properties, including affinity for the NMDA receptor, positive allosteric modulatory activity, duration of activity, oral bioavailability, tissue distribution, and stability (e.g., shelf life, dispensability, and crystallizability). A properly balanced combination of such properties can improve NMDA receptor PAMs in terms of efficacy, safety, tolerability, patient compliance, and manufacturing. Therefore, solid forms of compound 1 with appropriate properties (including chemical stability, thermal stability, solubility, hygroscopicity, particle size, yield, impurity content during crystallization, drying properties, grinding properties, and stability during tableting) and large-scale commercial preparations of their corresponding solid dosage forms face many challenges.
[0004] Thus, there is a need for one or more solid forms of NMDA receptor PAMs (eg, Compound 1) that possess a suitable balance of these properties and that can be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable solid dosage forms thereof. Summary of the invention

[0096] The terms "active ingredient," "active agent," and "active substance" refer to a compound that is administered to a subject alone or together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of the symptoms of one or more conditions, disorders, or diseases. As used herein, an "active ingredient," "active agent," and "active substance" may be an optically active isomer of a compound described herein.
[0097] The terms "drug" and "therapeutic agent" refer to a compound or pharmaceutical composition thereof that is administered to a subject for the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of the symptoms of one or more conditions, disorders, or diseases.
[0098] As used herein, the term "polymorph" refers to a crystalline form of a compound or its salt, hydrate or solvate in a specific crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. The term "polymorph" includes pseudopolymorphs, which are generally different solvates of the same material and therefore have different properties. Therefore, each different polymorph and pseudopolymorph disclosed herein is considered to be a different single crystalline form.
[0099] As used herein, the term "crystallization" refers to a solid state form consisting of orderly arranged structural units. The different crystalline forms of the same compound or its salt, hydrate or solvate are derived from the different stacking of solid molecules, which leads to different crystal symmetries and / or unit cell parameters. Different crystalline forms generally have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardnesses, crystal shapes, optical and electrical properties, stability and solubility. See, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 18th edition, Mack Publishing, Easton Pa, 173 (1990); The United States Pharmacopeia, 23rd edition, 1843-1844 (1995) (incorporated herein by reference). As used herein, the terms "crystalline form," "single crystalline form," "crystalline solid form," and "polymorph" are used interchangeably; these terms distinguish between crystals having different properties (e.g., different XRPD patterns and / or different DSC scan results).
[0100] The term "substantially pure" refers to the composition of a specific crystalline solid form of Compound 1, which may be free of at least a specific weight percentage of impurities and / or other solid forms of Compound 1. The specific weight percentage is 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99% or any percentage between 70% and 100%. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be a substantially pure sample of any crystalline solid form described herein. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form A. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form B. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form D. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form E. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form F. In some embodiments, Compound 1 can be substantially pure Form G.
[0101] Crystalline forms are often characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The reflections (peaks, usually expressed in degrees 2θ) of the XRPD pattern are often considered to be the fingerprint of a particular crystalline form. The relative intensities of the XRPD peaks may vary, among other things, depending on the sample preparation technique, crystal size distribution, filters, sample installation procedures, and the specific instrument employed. In some cases, there may be more peaks (i.e., new peaks) or fewer peaks (i.e., peaks may disappear) in the XRPD pattern, depending on the type or setup of the instrument. In some cases, any particular peak in the XRPD pattern may appear as a single peak, double peak, triple peak, quadruple peak, or multiple peaks, depending on the type or setup of the instrument, the sensitivity of the instrument, the measurement conditions, and / or the purity of the crystalline form. In some cases, any particular peak in the XRPD may exhibit a symmetrical shape or an asymmetrical shape, for example, with a shoulder. In addition, instrument variations and other factors may affect the 2θ value. A technician who is aware of these variations is able to use XRPD and other known physicochemical techniques to identify or determine the defining features or characteristics of a particular crystalline form.
[0102] When referring to peaks in the XRPD pattern of the crystalline form of Compound 1, the term "characteristic peaks" refers to a collection of certain peaks whose 2θ values in the range of 0°-40° are uniquely attributed to one crystalline form of Compound 1 as a whole.
[0103] The term "amorphous" as applied to chemical compounds refers to a state in which the material lacks long-range order at the molecular level and can exhibit the physical properties of a solid or a liquid, depending on the temperature. Typically, such materials do not produce a characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern and, although exhibiting the properties of a solid, are more formally described as liquids. Upon heating, a change in properties from solid to liquid occurs, which is characterized by a change of state, usually a secondary change ("glass transition").
[0104] The terms "anhydrate" or "anhydrous" are used interchangeably and, when applied to a compound, refer to the solid state of the compound that contains no structural water or other solvent molecules within the crystal lattice.
[0105] The term "solvate" refers to a compound or salt thereof provided herein, which further comprises a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of a solvent bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces (e.g., hydrogen bonds). When the solvent is water, the solvate is a hydrate. When the solvent comprises ethanol, the compound can be an ethanol solvate.
[0106] The term "stable" in the context of the polymorphic forms disclosed herein refers to the stability of the polymorphic form with respect to heat and / or humidity.
[0107] The crystalline form of Compound 1 described herein (e.g., Form A) may melt at a specific temperature or within a temperature range. Such a specific temperature or temperature range may be determined by the onset temperature (T) of the melting endothermic peak in the DSC curve of the crystalline form. 起始 ). In some embodiments, at such starting temperatures, a sample of the crystalline form of Compound 1 melts and undergoes concurrent side processes, such as recrystallization or chemical decomposition. In some embodiments, at such starting temperatures, the crystalline form of Compound 1 melts in the absence of other concurrent processes.

[0242] Diseases and conditions
[0243] Movement disorders
[0244] Also described herein are methods for treating movement disorders. As used herein, "movement disorders" refer to various diseases and conditions associated with excessive movement disorders and associated muscle control abnormalities. Exemplary movement disorders include, but are not limited to, Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's syndrome (particularly defined by bradykinesia), dystonia, chorea and Huntington's disease, ataxia, tremor (e.g., essential tremor), myoclonus and startle, tics and Tourette syndrome, restless legs syndrome, stiff person syndrome, and gait disorders.
[0245] Tremor is an involuntary, sometimes rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles that can involve vibration or twitching of one or more body parts (e.g., hands, arms, eyes, face, head, vocal cords, trunk, legs). Tremor includes inherited, degenerative, and idiopathic disorders, such as Wilson's disease, Parkinson's disease, and essential tremor, respectively; metabolic diseases (e.g., parathyroid disease, liver disease, and hypoglycemia); peripheral neuropathies (associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth, Roussy-Levy, diabetes, complex regional pain syndrome); toxins (nicotine, mercury, lead, CO, manganese, arsenic, toluene); drug-induced (narcolepsy, tricyclic drugs, lithium, cocaine, alcohol, epinephrine, bronchodilators, theophylline, caffeine, steroids, valproate, amiodarone, thyroid hormones, vincristine); and psychogenic disorders. Clinical tremor can be classified as physiological tremor, enhanced physiological tremor, essential tremor syndrome (including classic essential tremor, primary orthostatic tremor, and task- and position-specific tremor), dystonic tremor, Parkinson's disease tremor, cerebellar tremor, Holmes' tremor (ie, rubrospongal tremor), palatal tremor, neuropathic tremor, toxic or drug-induced tremor, and psychogenic tremor. Other forms of tremor include cerebellar tremor or intention tremor, dystonic tremor, essential tremor, orthostatic tremor, Parkinson's disease tremor, physiological tremor, psychogenic tremor, or rubrospongal tremor.
[0246] Cerebellar tremor or intention tremor is a slow, widespread tremor of a limb that occurs after a purposeful movement. Cerebellar tremor is caused by lesions or damage to the cerebellum, such as tumors, stroke, disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis, genetic degenerative disorders).
[0247] Dystonic tremors occur in individuals affected by dystonia (a movement disorder in which sustained involuntary muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements and / or painful and abnormal postures or positions). Dystonic tremors may affect any muscle in the body. Dystonic tremors occur irregularly and are often relieved by complete rest.
[0248] Essential tremor or benign essential tremor is the most common type of tremor. Essential tremor can be mild, and some are non-progressive, and can be slowly progressive, starting on one side of the body but usually affecting both sides within 3 years. The hands are most often affected, but the head, voice, tongue, legs, and trunk may also be involved. The frequency of tremors may decrease as a person ages, but the severity may increase. Aggravated emotions, stress, fever, physical fatigue, or low blood sugar may trigger tremors and / or increase their severity. Symptoms usually progress over time and can be obvious and persistent after they occur.
[0249] Orthostatic tremor is characterized by rapid (e.g., greater than 12 Hz) rhythmic muscle contractions that occur in the legs and trunk immediately after standing. Cramps are felt in the thighs and legs, and patients may shake uncontrollably when asked to stand in one spot. Orthostatic tremor may occur in patients with essential tremor.
[0250] Parkinson's disease tremor is caused by damage to structures in the brain that control movement. Parkinson's disease tremor is often a precursor to Parkinson's disease and is often seen as a "ball rolling" movement of the hands, which may also affect the jaw, lips, legs and trunk. The onset of Parkinson's disease tremor usually begins after the age of 60. The movement begins in one limb or side of the body and can progress to include the other side.
[0251] Physiologic tremors occur in normal individuals but are of no clinical significance. Physiologic tremors are seen in all voluntary muscle groups. Physiologic tremors can be caused by certain medications, alcohol withdrawal, or medical conditions including hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia. The usual frequency of tremors is about 10 Hz.
[0252] Psychogenic or hysterical tremors can occur at rest or during postural or dynamic movements. People with psychogenic tremors may have conversion disorder or another psychiatric disorder.
[0253] Rubrostral tremor is characterized by a coarse, slow tremor that can be present at rest, in posture, and with intent. The tremor is associated with conditions that affect the red nucleus in the midbrain, typically an unusual stroke.
[0254] Parkinson's disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine. Symptoms include muscle stiffness, tremors, and changes in speech and gait. Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremors, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. Parkinson's disease shares the same symptoms as Parkinson's disease, but is a complex disorder rather than a progressive neurodegenerative disease.
[0255] Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions that result in abnormal, often repetitive movements or postures. Dystonic movements may be patterned, distorted, and may be trembling. Dystonia is often triggered or exacerbated by voluntary movements and is associated with overflow muscle activation.
[0256] Chorea is a neurological disorder characterized by jerky, involuntary movements that typically affect the shoulders, hips, and face.
[0257] Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes nerve cells in the brain to fail. Symptoms include loss of control of movements, clumsiness and problems with balance. Huntington's disease can make it harder to walk, talk and swallow.
[0258] Ataxia is the loss of complete control over body movements and can affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and eye movements.
[0259] Myoclonus and startle are responses to sudden and unexpected stimulation, which may be sound, touch, vision, or vestibular stimulation.
[0260] A tic is an involuntary movement that is usually sudden, brief, repetitive, but without rhythm, often mimicking normal behavior and often occurring against the background of normal activity. Tics can be divided into motor tics, which are associated with movement, and vocal tics, which are associated with sound. Tics can be characterized as simple or complex. For example, a simple motor tic involves only a few muscles localized to a specific body part.
[0261] Tourette syndrome is an inherited neuropsychiatric disorder with onset in childhood characterized by multiple motor tics and at least one vocal tic.
[0262] Restless legs syndrome is a neurological sensorimotor disorder characterized by a strong urge to move the legs when at rest.
[0263] Stiff-person syndrome is a progressive movement disorder characterized by involuntary painful spasms and stiffness of the muscles, usually involving the lower back and legs. It usually results in a stiff-leg gait and exaggerated lumbar hyperflexion. Characteristic abnormalities in the activity of the sequential motor units of the paraxial muscles of the spine are usually observed on EMG recordings. Variants include "stiff limb syndrome," which produces focal stiffness, usually affecting the distal legs and feet.
[0264] Gait disorders are abnormalities in the pattern or style of walking due to neuromuscular, arthritic, or other physical changes. Gaits are classified according to the system responsible for the abnormal movement and include hemiplegic gait, diplegic gait, neuropathy gait, myopathy gait, parkinsonian gait, choreiform gait, ataxic gait, and sensory gait.
[0265] Mood disorders
[0266] Also provided herein are methods for treating mood disorders, such as clinical depression, postpartum or postpartum depression, perinatal depression, atypical depression, melancholic depression, psychotic major depressive disorder, cationic depression, seasonal affective disorder, dysthymia, double depression, depressive personality disorder, recurrent brief depression, minor depressive disorder, bipolar or manic-depressive disorder, depression due to a chronic medical condition, treatment-resistant depression, refractory depression, suicidal tendencies, suicidal ideation, or suicidal behavior.
[0267] Clinical depression is also known as major depressive disorder, major depressive disorder (MDD), major depressive disorder, unipolar depression, unipolar disorder, and recurrent depression, and refers to a mental disorder characterized by a pervasive and persistent low mood, accompanied by low self-esteem and loss of interest or pleasure in normally pleasurable activities. Some people with clinical depression have trouble sleeping, lose weight, and generally feel anxious and irritable. Clinical depression affects how an individual feels, thinks, and acts, and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. Individuals with clinical depression may have difficulty carrying out daily activities and may feel as if life is not worth living.
[0268] Postpartum depression (PND), also known as postpartum depression (PPD), refers to a type of clinical depression that affects women after childbirth. Symptoms can include sadness, fatigue, changes in sleeping and eating habits, loss of libido, crying episodes, anxiety, and irritability. In some embodiments, the PND is treatment-resistant depression (e.g., treatment-resistant depression as described herein). In some embodiments, the PND is refractory depression (e.g., refractory depression as described herein).
[0269] In some embodiments, the subject with PND also experiences depression or symptoms of depression during pregnancy. Such depression is referred to herein as perinatal depression. In one embodiment, subjects experiencing perinatal depression experience an increased risk of PND.
[0270] Atypical depression (AD) is characterized by mood reactivity (e.g., paradoxical anhedonia) and motivation, significant weight gain or increased appetite. Patients with AD may also have excessive sleep or sleepiness (hypersomnia), a sense of heaviness in the limbs, and significant social impairment as a result of hypersensitivity to perceived interpersonal rejection.
[0271] Melancholic depression is characterized by loss of pleasure in most or all activities (anhedonia), unresponsiveness to pleasurable stimuli, depressed mood that is more pronounced than sadness or loss, and excessive weight loss or excessive guilt.
[0272] Psychotic major depression (PMD) or psychotic depression denotes a major depressive episode, particularly of a melancholic nature, in which the individual experiences psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.
[0273] Catatonic depression refers to major depressive disorder that involves disturbances in motor behavior and other symptoms. The individual may become silent and stuporous, and be immobile or display meaningless or strange movements.
[0274] Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) refers to a type of seasonal depression in which individuals have a seasonal pattern of depressive episodes in the fall or winter.
[0275] Dysthymia refers to a condition related to unipolar depression in which the same physical and cognitive problems are evident. These problems are less severe and tend to be more persistent (eg, at least 2 years).
[0276] Double depression is defined as a period of severe depressed mood (dysthymia) lasting at least 2 years and marked by a phase of major depressive disorder.
[0277] Depressive personality disorder (DPD) refers to a personality disorder with depressive features.
[0278] Recurrent brief depressive disorder (RBD) refers to a condition in which an individual has depressive episodes about once a month, with each episode lasting 2 weeks or less, and usually less than 2-3 days.
[0279] Minor depressive disorder or minor depression means depression in which at least 2 symptoms are present for 2 weeks.
[0280] Bipolar disorder, or manic-depressive disorder, causes extreme mood swings, including highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). During mania, individuals may feel or appear unusually happy, energetic, or irritable. They often make poorly thought-out decisions with little regard for the consequences. The need for sleep is often reduced. During depression, there may be tearfulness, poor eye contact with others, and a negative outlook on life. People with this condition have a high risk of suicide within 20 years, greater than 6%, while the incidence of self-harm is 30-40%. Other mental health issues, such as anxiety disorders and substance use disorders are often associated with bipolar disorder.
[0281] Depression due to a chronic medical condition means depression caused by a chronic medical condition (such as cancer or chronic pain, chemotherapy, chronic stress).
[0282] Treatment-resistant depression refers to a condition in which an individual has been treated for depression but the symptoms have not improved. For example, antidepressants or psychological counseling (psychotherapy) have not relieved the depressive symptoms of an individual with treatment-resistant depression. In some cases, an individual with treatment-resistant depression improves symptoms but relapses. Refractory depression occurs in patients with depression who are resistant to standard pharmacological treatments (including tricyclic antidepressants, MAOIs, SSRIs, and dual and triple uptake inhibitors and / or antianxiety drugs), as well as nonpharmacological treatments (e.g., psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, and / or transcranial magnetic stimulation).
[0283] Suicidal tendencies, suicidal ideation, and suicidal behavior refer to an individual's tendency to commit suicide. Suicidal ideation involves thoughts or unusual preoccupations with suicide. The range of suicidal ideation varies greatly, from, for example, fleeting thoughts to extensive thoughts, detailed plans, role-playing, and incomplete attempts. Symptoms include talking about suicide, obtaining means to commit suicide, withdrawing from social situations, preoccupying oneself with death, feeling confused or hopeless about a situation, increasing use of alcohol or drugs, doing dangerous or self-destructive things, and saying goodbye to people as if they will never be seen again.
[0284] Symptoms of depression include persistent feelings of anxiety or sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, pessimism, feelings of worthlessness, low energy, restlessness, difficulty sleeping, insomnia, irritability, fatigue, difficulty moving, loss of interest in pleasurable activities or hobbies, loss of concentration, loss of energy, poor self-esteem, lack of positive thoughts or plans, excessive sleep, excessive eating, decreased appetite, insomnia, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. The presence, severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms can vary from case to case. Symptoms of depression and their relief can be determined by a physician or psychologist (e.g., through a mental status examination).
[0285] Anxiety disorders
[0286] Methods for treating anxiety disorders are provided herein. Anxiety disorders are an umbrella term that encompasses several different forms of abnormal and pathological fear and anxiety. Current psychiatric diagnostic criteria recognize a variety of anxiety disorders.
[0287] Generalized anxiety disorder is a common chronic condition characterized by long-term anxiety that is not focused on any particular object or situation. People with generalized anxiety disorder experience nonspecific, persistent fears and worries and an excessive focus on everyday events. Generalized anxiety disorder is the most common anxiety disorder affecting older adults.
[0288] People with panic disorder experience brief episodes of intense fear and apprehension, often characterized by shaking, trembling, confusion, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing. According to the APA, a panic attack is a sudden onset of fear or discomfort that peaks within ten minutes, can last for hours, and can be triggered by stress, fear, or even exercise; but the specific cause is not always obvious. In addition to recurring, unexpected panic attacks, a diagnosis of panic disorder requires that the attack have long-term consequences: worry about the potential effects of the attack, persistent fear of future attacks, or significant changes in behavior related to the attack. As a result, people with panic disorder experience symptoms even outside of specific panic attacks. People with panic disorder often notice changes in their normal heartbeat and believe that they have a heart problem or are about to have another panic attack. In some cases, a high level of vigilance (hypervigilance) of bodily functions occurs during a panic attack, in which any perceived physiological changes are interpreted as potentially life-threatening (i.e., extreme hypochondriasis).
[0289] Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by repetitive compulsions (distressing, persistent, and intrusive thoughts or images) and compulsions (the urge to perform specific behaviors or rituals). OCD thought patterns can be compared to superstitions in that it involves believing in a cause-and-effect relationship that does not actually exist. The process is often completely illogical; for example, the compulsion to follow a certain pattern may be used to relieve an obsession with impending harm. In many cases, the compulsion is completely inexplicable and is simply a nervous urge to complete a ritual. In a few cases, people with OCD may have obsessions without obvious compulsions; even fewer have only compulsions.
[0290] Phobias are the largest category of anxiety disorders and include all fears and anxieties that are triggered by specific stimuli or situations. The sufferer typically anticipates frightening consequences from encountering the phobic object, which can be any animal, place, or bodily fluid.
[0291] Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is an anxiety disorder caused by a traumatic experience. Post-traumatic stress reactions can result from extreme situations, such as combat, rape, hostage situations, or even serious accidents. Long-term (chronic) exposure to severe stressors can also lead to the condition, for example, a soldier who endures individual combat situations but cannot cope with continuous combat. Common symptoms include flashbacks, avoidance behavior, and depression.
[0292] epilepsy
[0293] Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by long-term recurrent seizures. Types of epilepsy include, but are not limited to, systemic epilepsy, such as childhood absence epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, grand mal seizures during awakening, West syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, partial epilepsy, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy, and benign focal epilepsy of childhood.
[0294] Epilepsy
[0295] Epileptogenesis is the process by which a normal brain gradually develops into epilepsy (a chronic condition characterized by seizures). Epileptogenesis results from neuronal damage caused by an initial insult (e.g., status epilepticus).
[0296] Status epilepticus (SE)
[0297] Status epilepticus (SE) may include, for example, convulsive status epilepticus, such as early status epilepticus, established status epilepticus, refractory status epilepticus, and super-refractory status epilepticus; non-convulsive status epilepticus, such as generalized status epilepticus, complex partial status epilepticus; generalized periodic epileptic discharges; and periodic lateral epileptic discharges. Convulsive status epilepticus is characterized by the occurrence of convulsive status epilepticus attacks, and may include early status epilepticus, established status epilepticus, refractory status epilepticus, and super-refractory status epilepticus. The treatment of early status epilepticus adopts first-line therapy. Established status epilepticus is characterized by the continued onset of status epilepticus despite the use of first-line therapy, and therefore second-line therapy is applied. Refractory status epilepticus is characterized by the continued onset of status epilepticus despite the use of first-line and second-line therapy, and general anesthetics are generally applied. Super-refractory status epilepticus is characterized by the continued onset of status epilepticus after 24 hours or more of treatment with first-line therapy, second-line therapy, and general anesthetics.
[0298] Non-convulsive status epilepticus can include, for example, focal non-convulsive status epilepticus, such as complex partial non-convulsive status epilepticus, simple partial non-convulsive status epilepticus, subtle non-convulsive status epilepticus; generalized non-convulsive status epilepticus, such as late absence non-convulsive status epilepticus, atypical absence non-convulsive status epilepticus or typical absence non-convulsive status epilepticus, late absence non-convulsive status epilepticus, atypical absence non-convulsive status epilepticus or typical absence non-convulsive status epilepticus.
[0299] Seizures
[0300] A seizure is a physical symptom or behavior change that follows an episode of abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The term "seizure" is often used interchangeably with "convulsion." A convulsion is a rapid, uncontrolled shaking of a person's body. During a convulsion, a person's muscles repeatedly contract and relax.
[0301] Based on the type of behavior and brain activity, seizures are divided into two main categories: generalized and partial (also called localized or focal). Classifying seizure types helps doctors diagnose whether a person has epilepsy.
[0302] Whereas generalized seizures are produced by electrical impulses from the entire brain, partial seizures are produced (at least initially) by electrical impulses in a relatively small part of the brain. The part of the brain where the seizure occurs is sometimes called the focus.
[0303] There are six types of generalized seizures. The most common and violent, and the best known, are the generalized convulsions, also called grand mal seizures. In this type of seizure, the person loses consciousness and usually collapses. After the loss of consciousness, the whole body becomes rigid (called the "tonic" phase of the seizure) for 30 to 60 seconds, followed by violent convulsions (the "clonic" phase) for 30 to 60 seconds, after which the person falls into a deep sleep (the "postictal" or post-seizure phase). During a grand mal seizure, injuries and accidents can occur, such as tongue biting and urinary incontinence.
[0304] Absence seizures cause a brief loss of consciousness (only a few seconds) with few or no symptoms. Sufferers are usually children, who typically stop moving and stare blankly. These seizures start and end suddenly and can occur several times a day. Sufferers are usually unaware that they are having a seizure, except that they may be aware of "losing time."
[0305] Myoclonic seizures involve sporadic twitching, usually on both sides of the body. Patients sometimes describe the twitching as brief electric shocks. If severe, these seizures may cause objects to be dropped or thrown involuntarily.
[0306] Clonic seizures are repetitive, rhythmic twitches that involve both sides of the body at the same time.
[0307] Tonic seizures are characterized by muscle rigidity.
[0308] Atonic seizures involve a sudden and generalized loss of muscle tone, especially in the arms and legs, often resulting in a fall.
[0309] The seizures described herein may include epileptic seizures; acute repetitive seizures; cluster seizures; continuous seizures; continuous seizures; prolonged seizures; recurrent seizures; status epilepticus, such as: refractory convulsive status epilepticus, non-convulsive status epilepticus; refractory seizures; myoclonic seizures; tonic seizures; tonic-clonic seizures, simple partial seizures; complex partial seizures; secondary generalized seizures, atypical absence seizures; absence seizures; atonic seizures; benign Rolandic seizures; febrile seizures; affective seizures; focal seizures; gelatinous seizures; generalized onset seizures; infantile spasms; Jacksonian seizures; large bilateral myoclonic seizures; multifocal seizures; neonatal onset seizures; nocturnal seizures; occipital lobe seizures; post-traumatic seizures; subtle seizures; Sylvan seizures seizure); visual reflex seizure; or withdrawal seizure. In some embodiments, the seizure is a generalized seizure associated with Dravet Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, Rett Syndrome, or PCDH19 female pediatric epilepsy.
[0310] Sterol synthesis disorders
[0311] In one embodiment, the present invention describes a method for treating sterol synthesis disorder. Cholesterol plays a vital role in growth and development. It is a membrane lipid and a precursor of many molecules, which play an important role in cell growth and differentiation, protein glycosylation and signal transduction pathways. The biosynthesis of cholesterol involves a variety of enzymes and intermediates. The disease caused by the deficiency of any enzyme involved in cholesterol biosynthesis can lead to the accumulation of intermediates and the imbalance of biomacromolecules, thereby causing diseases including congenital skeletal deformities, facial feature deformities, psychomotor retardation and dysplasia. In one embodiment, compounds as described herein can be used to treat sterol synthesis disorder or the symptoms of sterol synthesis disorder, such as NMDA receptor modulating compounds as described herein, to the subject suffering from sterol synthesis disorder. Other disease descriptions are as follows.
[0312] Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome
[0313] In one embodiment, methods for treating Smith-Lemly-Opitz syndrome (or SLOS, or 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase deficiency) are described herein. SLOS is an inborn error in cholesterol synthesis. In addition to microcephaly, moderate to severe intellectual disability, hyperesthesia, behavioral stereotypy, dysmorphic facial features, and syndactyly of the second / third toes, one of the characteristics of the disease is a decrease in the level of a brain sterol (24(S)-hydroxycholesterol). SLOS is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that results in low or low-to-normal plasma cholesterol levels and elevated levels of 7- and 8-dehydrocholesterol (DHC; 7DHC and 8DHC) due to a deficiency in the last enzyme in the cholesterol synthesis pathway. Current common therapies include dietary cholesterol supplementation, treatment with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, also known as statins), and treatment with drugs that promote cholesterol production and / or proliferation; and reduce the accumulation of 7DHC and 8DHC, a potentially toxic precursor of cholesterol.
[0314] Cholesterolosis
[0315] Decholesterolemia is a dehydrocholesterol reductase deficiency disorder and has a phenotype similar to SLOS. In one embodiment, described herein are methods of treating decholesterolemia using the compounds described herein.
[0316] Sitosterolemia
[0317] Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in two ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes (ABCG5 and ABCG8). Sitosterolemia promotes intestinal absorption of plant sterols and cholesterol. Patients often have tendon and tuberous xanthomas and premature coronary artery disease. In one embodiment, methods of treating sitosterolemia with the compounds described herein are described herein.
[0318] Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX)
[0319] In one embodiment, methods of treating cerebrotendinous xanthomas (also known as cerebrocholesterolosis or Van Bogaert-Scherer-Epstein syndrome) with the compounds described herein are described herein. CTX can be caused by mutations in the CYP27A1 gene, which produces sterol 27-hydroxylase. Sterol 27-hydroxylase metabolizes cholesterol into bile acids (e.g., chenodeoxycholic acid), which are important for the absorption of fats in the intestine. Enzyme dysfunction may lead to cholesterol accumulation in tissues. CTX is characterized by childhood diarrhea, cataracts, tendon xanthomas, intellectual impairment, and motor abnormalities in adults.
[0320] Mevalonate kinase deficiency syndrome (MKD)
[0321] Mevalonate kinase deficiency (also known as mevalonic aciduria, a more severe form of MKD, or hyper-IgD syndrome (HIDS or hyperimmunoglobulinemia D) with periodic fever syndrome, a more benign form of MKD) causes mevalonic acid to accumulate in the urine due to insufficient mevalonate kinase activity. MKD may cause developmental delay, hypotonia, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, dysmorphic features, mental retardation, and overall poor development. Mevalonic aciduria is characterized by physical and mental developmental delay, poor development, recurrent fever with vomiting and diarrhea, enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes, microcephaly (small head circumference), cataracts, low muscle tone, short stature, distinct facial features, ataxia, and anemia. HIDS is characterized by recurrent fever with swollen lymph nodes, joint pain, gastrointestinal problems, and rash. In one embodiment, described herein are methods for treating MKD with the compounds described herein.
[0322] SC4MOL gene mutation (SMO deficiency)
[0323] SC4MOL gene deficiency is a genetic disorder in the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway (e.g., mutations in the SC4MOL gene encoding a novel sterol oxidase). SC4MOL deficiency is characterized by the accumulation of dimethyl and monomethyl sterols, which can be detected in blood, skin scrapings, or primary skin fibroblasts. In one embodiment, described herein are methods for treating SMO deficiency with the compounds described herein.
[0324] Niemann-Pick disease
[0325] Niemann-Pick disease is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a gene mutation that affects metabolism. Niemann-Pick disease results in an abnormal buildup of cholesterol and other fatty substances (lipids) because the body is unable to transport these substances. The buildup damages the affected area.
[0326] Autism
[0327] In one embodiment, methods for treating autism spectrum disorder or autism are described herein. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism refer to a group of complex brain development disorders. Autism is typically characterized by difficulties in social interaction, such as difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication. Individuals with autism also often have repetitive behaviors. Autism may be associated with intellectual disability, motor coordination and attention difficulties, and physical health problems (e.g., sleep and gastrointestinal disorders). Individuals with autism may also excel in visual skills, music, mathematics, and art. Autism may refer to autistic disorder, childhood disorganization disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. Autism may also refer to monogenic causes of autism, such as synaptopathy, such as Rett syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and Angelman syndrome.
[0328] Conditions associated with phenylketonuria
[0329] In one embodiment, methods for treating conditions associated with phenylketonuria (e.g., cognitive impairment) with compounds described herein are described herein. Phenylketonuria may lead to hypocholesterolemia and reduced vitamin D levels. Compared with subjects without phenylketonuria, subjects with phenylketonuria have been found to have reduced total low-density cholesterol and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (Clin. Chim. Acta 2013, 416: 54-59). In subjects with phenylketonuria, 24S-hydroxycholesterol and 27S-hydroxycholesterol and 7α-hydroxycholesterol (e.g., representing peripheral and liver cholesterol elimination, respectively) have been shown to be significantly reduced, while in subjects with phenylketonuria, 7β-hydroxycholesterol (e.g., reflecting oxidative stress) is significantly increased. In subjects with phenylketonuria, changes in 24S-OHC and 7β-hydroxycholesterol levels are associated with phenylalanine levels, and 27S-hydroxycholesterol levels may be associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
