CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 004,799, filed April 3, 2020. [Background technology]
[0002] The complement system is part of the body's immune system, enhancing the ability of antibodies and phagocytes to destroy and eliminate foreign substances (e.g., pathogens) within the body. The complement system comprises a group of plasma proteins that interact to attack the extracellular structures of pathogens and induce a series of inflammatory responses that help fight infection. Complement activation can occur through several pathways. For example, complement activation can occur spontaneously in response to a specific pathogen or by antibody binding to the pathogen. Activation of complement proteins triggers a cascade, with one complement protein in turn inducing the activation of the next. The activation of a few complement proteins at the beginning of the pathway is greatly amplified by each successive enzymatic reaction, rapidly generating a disproportionately large complement response (Non-Patent Document 1). Healthy organisms have regulatory mechanisms to prevent unregulated complement activation.
[0003] Once activated, complement proteins can bind to pathogens, opsonizing them for uptake by phagocytes bearing complement receptors. Small fragments of some complement proteins then act as chemoattractants, recruiting more phagocytes to the site of complement activation and further activating these phagocytes. Complement proteins then form holes or pores in the invading organism, leading to its destruction. Complement plays an important role in defending the body against foreign substances but can also destroy healthy cells and tissues. Inappropriate activation of complement is implicated in a long list of pathologies affecting the immune, renal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems (Non-Patent Document 2). Therefore, there is a need for the development of additional complement inhibitors that are therapeutically effective in treating numerous disorders. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0057] For example, if a specific enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or by derivatization with a chiral auxiliary, where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to yield the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, if the molecule contains a basic functional group such as amino, or an acidic functional group such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts can be formed with a suitable optically active acid or base, followed by separation of the diastereomers so formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means well known in the art, followed by recovery of the pure enantiomer.
[0058] It is understood that "substituted" or "substituted with" includes the implicit proviso that such substitution is in accordance with the valences allowed for the substituted atom and substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound that does not spontaneously undergo transformation, such as by rearrangement, fragmentation, decomposition, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction.
[0059] The term "substituted" is also contemplated to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. Broadly speaking, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein above. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for suitable organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen can have hydrogen substituents and / or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein that satisfy the valence of the heteroatom. This invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the permissible substituents of organic compounds.
[0060] In certain embodiments, optional substituents contemplated by the present invention include halogen, azide, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, arylalkyl, heteroaryl, heteroarylalkyl, cycloalkyl, (cycloalkyl)alkyl, heterocyclyl, (heterocyclyl)alkyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amino, aminoalkyl, nitro, sulfhydryl, imino, amido, phosphonate, phosphinate, carbonyl, carboxyl, silyl, ether (e.g., -alkylene-O(alkyl)), alkylthio, sulfonyl, sulfonamide, ketone (e.g., -CO(alkyl)), aldehyde (-C(O)H), ester (e.g., -COO(alkyl)), haloalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkoxyalkyl, and cyano.
[0061] As used herein, the terms "optionally substituted" or "substituted or unsubstituted," when preceding a list of chemical moieties, mean that the following list of chemical moieties is substituted or unsubstituted, respectively. For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, and cycloalkyl" or "optionally substituted aryl, heteroaryl, and cycloalkyl" means substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl.
[0062] The term "vicinal" refers to the positional relationship between two substituents, moieties, or functional groups, each of which is bonded to one of two adjacent carbon atoms that are bonded to each other (i.e., the two substituents, moieties, or functional groups are in a 1,2-relationship). The methyl groups in 3,4-dimethylheptane are vicinal.
[0063] The term "geminal" describes the positional relationship between two substituents, moieties, or functional groups that are attached to the same carbon atom (i.e., the two substituents, moieties, or functional groups are in a 1,1-relationship). The methyl groups in 3,3-dimethylheptane are geminal.
[0064] The term "hominal" describes the positional relationship between two substituents, moieties, or functional groups, each of which is bonded to one of two carbon atoms that are themselves each bonded to a single carbon atom (i.e., the two substituents, moieties, or functional groups are in a 1,3-relationship). The methyl group in 3,5-dimethylheptane is hominal.
[0065] As used herein, the phrase "protecting group" refers to temporary substituents that protect a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations. Examples of such protecting groups include esters of carboxylic acids, silyl ethers of alcohols, and acetals of aldehydes and ketals of ketones, respectively. The field of protecting group chemistry has been reviewed (Greene, TW; Wuts, PGMP Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2004). nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991) Protected forms of the compounds of the invention are included within the scope of the invention.
[0066] For purposes of this invention, chemical elements are identified according to the CAS version of the Periodic Table of the Elements (Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover).
[0067] Other chemical terms herein are used in accordance with conventional usage in the art as exemplified by The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (ed. Parker, S., 1985), McGraw-Hill, San Francisco (incorporated herein by reference).

Pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms may include forms in which the ratio of salt-containing molecules is not 1:1. For example, a salt may contain multiple inorganic or organic acid molecules per molecule of base, such as two hydrochloric acid molecules per molecule of the compound of Formula I. As another example, a salt may contain less than one inorganic or organic acid molecule per molecule of base, e.g., two molecules of the compound of Formula I per molecule of tartaric acid.
[0069] The term "prodrug," as used herein, refers to a compound that can be metabolized in vivo to provide a compound of Formula I. Thus, prodrugs include compounds that can be prepared by modifying one or more functional groups in a compound of Formula I to obtain a corresponding compound that can be metabolized in vivo to provide a compound of Formula I. Such modifications are known in the art. For example, one or more hydroxyl or amine groups in a compound of Formula I can be acylated with an alkyl-C(=O)- group or the residue of an amino acid to obtain a prodrug.
[0070] Prodrug forms of compounds with various nitrogen-containing functional groups (amino, hydroxyamino, amide, etc.) may include the following types of derivatives, where each R p The groups may individually be hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heterocycle, alkylaryl, arylalkyl, aralkenyl, aralkynyl, cycloalkyl, or cycloalkenyl.

[0072] Prodrug forms of carboxyl-containing compounds are esters (-COR m ), where R m The group corresponds to any alcohol, and the alcohol released into the body via an enzymatic or hydrolytic process is at a pharmaceutically acceptable level. Another prodrug derived from the carboxylic acid form of the present disclosure can be a quaternary salt type structure as described by Bodor et al., J. Med. Chem. 1980, 23, 469.
[0073] As used herein, the terms "carrier" and "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" refer to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle that is administered with or formulated for administration with a compound. Non-limiting examples of such pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include liquids such as water, saline, and oil, and solids such as gum arabic, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, and urea. In addition, auxiliary agents, stabilizers, thickeners, lubricants, flavoring agents, and coloring agents may also be used. Other examples of suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences by E.W. Martin (incorporated herein in its entirety by reference).
[0074] As used herein, the term "treating" means preventing, halting or slowing the progression of, or eliminating a disease or condition in a subject.

[0156] Formulation, Route of Administration, and Administration The compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient, in a variety of forms compatible with the chosen route of administration, for example, orally or parenterally, by intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, topical, or subcutaneous routes. Additional routes of administration are also contemplated by the present invention.
[0157] Thus, the compounds may be administered systemically, e.g., orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, such as an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the food of the patient's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be combined with one or more excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of the active compound. Of course, the percentage of the compositions and preparations may vary and may conveniently be about 2% to about 60% of the weight of a given unit dosage form. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage level will be obtained.
[0158] Tablets, troches, pills, capsules, etc. may also contain the following diluents and carriers: binders, such as tragacanth gum, acacia, corn starch, or gelatin; excipients, such as dicalcium phosphate; disintegrating agents, such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid, etc.; lubricants, such as magnesium stearate; and sweeteners, such as sucrose, fructose, lactose, or aspartame; or flavoring agents, such as peppermint, wintergreen oil, and cherry flavoring. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, in addition to the above-mentioned materials, it may contain liquid carriers such as vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may be present as coatings or otherwise be present to modify the physical form of the solid unit dosage form. For example, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with gelatin, wax, shellac, sugar, etc. Syrup or elixir may contain active compound, sucrose or fructose as sweetener, methyl and propylparaben as preservative, dye, and flavoring agent, for example, cherry or orange flavor.Of course, any material used to prepare any unit dosage form must be pharmaceutically acceptable and substantially non-toxic in the amount used.In addition, active compound can be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and devices.
[0159] Active compound can also be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally by infusion or injection.The solution of active compound or its salt can be prepared in water or physiologically acceptable aqueous solution, and optionally can be mixed with non-toxic surfactant.Dispersion can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol, triacetin and its mixture, and oil.These preparations contain preservatives to prevent the growth of microorganisms under normal storage and use conditions.
[0160] Pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion may include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powders suitable for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutions or dispersions, optionally containing the active ingredient encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, the final dosage form must be sterile, fluid, and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. Liquid carriers or vehicles can be solvents or liquid dispersion media containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, etc.), vegetable oils, non-toxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. Suitable fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, or by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial action can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, buffers, or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0161] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in a suitable solvent with various other ingredients as listed above, as needed, and then filtering and sterilizing. In the case of sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solutions, the preparation method can include vacuum drying and freeze-drying techniques, which yields a powder of the active ingredient and any additional desired ingredients that are present in a previously sterile-filtered solution.
[0162] For topical administration, the compounds can be applied in pure form (i.e., when they are liquids), however, it is generally desirable to administer the compounds to the skin as a composition or formulation in combination with a dermatologically acceptable carrier, which can be solid or liquid.
[0163] Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and alumina. Useful liquid carriers include water, alcohol, or glycol, or water-alcohol / glycol blends, in which the compound can be dissolved or dispersed at effective concentrations, optionally with the use of nontoxic surfactants. Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antibacterial agents can be added to optimize the properties for a given application. The resulting liquid composition can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnate bandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area using pump-action or aerosol sprayers.
[0164] Thickening agents such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, salts and esters of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, modified cellulose or modified inorganic materials may also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadable pastes, gels, ointments, soaps and the like for direct application to the user's skin.
[0165] Examples of useful dermatological compositions that can be used to deliver the compounds of the present invention to the skin are known in the art; see, e.g., Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392; incorporated herein by reference), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478; incorporated herein by reference), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157; incorporated herein by reference), and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,508; incorporated herein by reference).
[0166] The useful dosage of the compound of the present invention can be determined at least initially by comparing in vitro activity and in vivo activity in animal model.The method for extrapolating the effective dosage of mice and other animals to humans is known in the art.See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,938,949 (incorporated herein by reference).
[0167] The amount of the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof required for therapeutic use will vary not only with the particular compound or salt selected, but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, and the age and condition of the patient, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attending physician or clinician.
[0168] In general, however, suitable dosages will be in the range of about 0.5 to about 100 mg / kg body weight of the recipient per day, e.g., about 3 to about 90 mg / kg body weight per day, about 6 to about 75 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, about 10 to about 60 mg / kg body weight per day, or about 15 to about 50 mg / kg body weight per day.
[0169] The compounds of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can be conveniently formulated in unit dosage form, for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, 10 to 750 mg, or 50 to 500 mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a composition comprising a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, formulated in such unit dosage form. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses to be administered at appropriate intervals, e.g., two, three, four, or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of individual loosely spaced administrations.
[0170] The compounds of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, such as other agents useful for treating or preventing ischemia, blood loss, or reperfusion injury. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, can also be administered in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents useful for treating or preventing ocular disorders or ocular disorders.
[0171] Other delivery systems may include sustained-release, delayed-release, or sustained-release delivery systems, as are well known in the art. Such systems may avoid repeated administration of active compounds, which increases the convenience of patients and physicians. Many types of release delivery systems are available and known to those skilled in the art. The use of long-term sustained-release implants may be desirable. Long-term release, as used herein, means that the delivery system or implant is constructed and arranged to deliver therapeutic concentrations of the active ingredient for at least 30 days, preferably 60 days.
[0172] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are formulated for intraocular administration, for example, by direct injection or insertion into or in connection with a medical device in the eye. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are formulated as eye drops. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention can be administered via ocular delivery, for example, by local administration to the eye, including topical, intravitreal, periocular, transscleral, retrobulbar, juxtascleral, suprachoroidal, or subtenon administration. The compounds of the present invention can be administered via ocular delivery, either alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents.
[0173] The compounds of the present invention can be formulated for attachment within a medical device, which can include a variety of conventional grafts, stents, including stent-grafts, catheters, balloons, baskets, or any other device that can be placed or permanently implanted within a body lumen. In certain instances, it is desirable to have devices and methods that can deliver the compounds of the present invention to a body region being treated by an interventional technique.
[0174] In an exemplary embodiment, the compounds of the invention can be deposited within a medical device, such as a stent, and delivered to a treatment site for treatment of a body part.
[0175] Stents have been used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents (i.e., drugs). Intravascular stents are generally permanently implanted in coronary or peripheral arteries. Stent designs include those in U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,655 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 (Gianturco), or U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 (Wiktor). Such designs include both metallic and polymeric stents, as well as self-expanding and balloon-expandable stents. Stents can also be used to deliver drugs to sites of contact with the vascular system, as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,417 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,760 (Narciso, Jr.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,634 (Narciso, Jr.), and International Patent Applications WO 91 / 12779 (Medtronic, Inc.) and WO 90 / 13332 (Cedars-Sanai Medical Center).
[0176] The term "deposited" means that the compound is coated, adsorbed, positioned, or otherwise incorporated into the device by methods known in the art. For example, the compound may be embedded and released from within a polymeric material ("matrix-type"), or may be surrounded and released from a polymeric material ("reservoir-type") that coats or contains the medical device. In the latter example, the compound may be entrapped within the polymeric material or bound to the polymeric material using one or more techniques for producing such materials known in the art. In other formulations, the compound may be bound to the surface of the medical device without the need for a coating, e.g., by a detachable bond, and released over time, or may be removed by aggressive mechanical or chemical processes. In other formulations, the compound may be in a permanently immobilized form, providing the compound at the implantation site.
[0177] In certain embodiments, the compounds may also be incorporated with polymer compositions during the formation of biocompatible coatings for medical devices such as stents. The coatings produced from these components are typically homogeneous and useful for coating many devices designed for implantation.
[0178] The polymer can be either a biostable polymer or a bioabsorbable polymer, depending on the desired release rate or the degree of polymer stability desired, although bioabsorbable polymers are often preferred for this embodiment because, unlike biostable polymers, they do not persist long after implantation and do not cause any adverse chronic local reactions. Bioabsorbable polymers that can be used include poly(L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyglycolide (PGA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLA / PGA), poly(hydroxybutyrate), poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), polydioxanone, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, poly(glycolic acid), poly(D-lactic acid), poly(L-lactic acid), poly(D,L-lactic acid), poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PGA / PTMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydioxanone (PDS), polyphosphoesters, polyphosphoric acid, and polyisopropyl esters. Examples of suitable bioabsorbable polymers include, but are not limited to, ester urethanes, poly(amino acids), cyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonates), copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO / PLA), polyalkylene oxalates, polyphosphazenes, and biomolecules such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxybutyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, crosslinked or amphiphilic block copolymers of hydrogels, and other suitable bioabsorbable polymers known in the art.Biostable polymers with relatively low chronic tissue response, such as polyurethanes, silicones, and polyesters, can also be used, as can other polymers such as polyolefins, polyisobutylene, and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketone; polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters, such as polyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers, and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers. olefin copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; pyran copolymers; polyhydroxypropyl-methacrylamide-phenol; polyhydroxyethyl-aspartamide-phenol; polyethylene oxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues; polyamides such as nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins, polycarbonates; polyoxymethylene; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins, polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethylcellulose can also be used if they can be dissolved and cured or polymerized on the medical device.
[0179] The polymers and semipermeable polymer matrices may be formed into shaped articles such as valves, stents, tubing, prostheses, and the like.
[0180] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the compounds of the present invention are bound to a polymer or semipermeable polymer matrix formed into a stent or stent-graft device.
[0181] Typically, the polymer is applied to the surface of the implantable device by spin coating, dipping, or spraying. Additional methods known in the art can also be used for this purpose. Spraying methods include conventional methods as well as microdeposition techniques using inkjet-type dispensers. Additionally, the polymer can be deposited onto the implantable device using photopatterning, which places the polymer only on specific portions of the device. This coating of the device provides a uniform layer around the device, allowing for improved diffusion of various analytes through the device coating.
[0182] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the compound is formulated to be released from the polymer coating into the environment in which the medical device is placed. Preferably, the compound is released in a controlled manner over an extended time frame (e.g., several months) using at least one of several well-known techniques for polymeric carriers or layers that control elution. Some of these techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2004 / 0243225A1, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0183] Additionally, the reagents and reaction conditions of the polymer composition can be manipulated to thereby control the release of a compound from the polymer coating, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,729 (incorporated herein in its entirety). For example, the diffusion coefficient of one or more polymer coatings can be adjusted to control the release of a compound from the polymer coating. In a variation on this theme, the diffusion coefficient of one or more polymer coatings can be controlled to adjust the ability of an analyte present in the environment in which the medical device is placed (e.g., an analyte that promotes the breakdown or hydrolysis of a portion of the polymer) to access one or more components within the polymer composition (and thereby, for example, adjust the release of a compound from the polymer coating). Yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a device having multiple polymer coatings, each with multiple diffusion coefficients. In such an embodiment of the present invention, the release of a compound from the polymer coating can be adjusted by the multiple polymer coatings.
[0184] In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the release of the compound from the polymer coating is controlled by the presence of one or more endogenous or exogenous compounds, or alternatively by adjusting one or more properties of the polymer composition, such as the pH of the polymer composition. For example, certain polymer compositions can be designed to release the compound in response to a decrease in the pH of the polymer composition.
[0185] kit The present invention also provides a kit comprising a compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, at least one other therapeutic agent, packaging material, and instructions for administering the compound of the present invention or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the other therapeutic agent(s) to a mammal to treat or prevent a disease or condition characterized by abnormal complement activity. In one embodiment, the mammal is a human.
[0186] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the relevant art that other suitable modifications and adaptations to the compositions and methods described herein will be readily apparent from the description of the invention contained herein, in view of the information known to those skilled in the art, and can be made without departing from the scope of the invention or any embodiment thereof.
