AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent provides glucocorticoid receptor agonist immunoconjugates that can be used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, adult Crohn's disease, pediatric Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, plaque psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, uveitis, Behcets disease, a spondyloarthropathy, or psoriasis. These immunoconjugates have improved efficacy and reduced side effects compared to traditional glucocorticoid drugs.

Problems solved by technology

Despite their success in the clinic, anti-TNFa biologics are still limited in the maximal efficacy they can achieve in patients, necessitating the identification and development of more potent and effective therapeutics.
Patients treated with anti-TNFa biologics may also develop an immunogenic response to the therapeutic thus limiting its effectiveness.
Synthetic glucocorticoid receptor agonists (e.g., dexamethasone, prednisolone, and budesonide) are a potent class of small molecules used in the treatment of inflammatory disorders, but their utility in the chronic treatment of disease is limited due to severe side effects.
However these methodologies have met with little success.

embodiment (emb) 1

[0647]A compound having Formula I-a:

(SM-L-Q)n-A1  I-a

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein:

[0648]A1 is an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha protein; L is a linker; Q is a heterobifunctional group or heterotrifunctional group; or Q is absent; n is 1-10; and SM is a radical of a glucocorticosteroid.

Emb 2

[0649]The compound of Emb 1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein SM is a monovalent radical of a glucocorticosteroid.

Emb 3

[0650]The compound of Emb 2, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, wherein SM is a monovalent radical of a glucocorticosteroid selected from the group consisting of:

wherein the sulfur, oxygen, or nitrogen atom is attached directly or indirectly to the C- or D-ring of the glucocorticosteroid, and R is C1-4 alkyl.

Step 1: Synthesis of tert-butyl (4-(4-formylphenoxy)phenyl)carbamate

[0950]

[0951]To a solution of tert-butyl (4-hydroxyphenyl)carbamate (10 g, 47.8 mmol) and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (11.86 g, 96 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was added potassium carbonate (39.6 g, 287 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 5 hours. One additional vial was set up as described above. All two reaction mixtures were combined and diluted with DCM (300 mL), then extracted with water (3×100 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (100 mL) and dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (eluted with PE:EtOAc=30:1 to 5:1) to obtain the target compound (20 g, 63.8 mmol, 66.7% yield) as a ye...

[0955]Diisobutylaluminum hydride (153 mL, 153 mmol, 1 M in toluene) was added drop-wise to a 0° C. solution of 4-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (20 g, 102 mmol) in toluene (400 mL over 1 hour Two additional vials were set up as described above. All three reaction mixtures were combined. The mixture solution was added 10% aqueous HCl (1.5 L). The mixture was extracted with DCM (3×500 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluted with PE / EtOAc=10 / 1) to obtain the target compound (50 g, yield 82%) as white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ 10.02 (s, 1H), 7.91-7.82 (m, 2H), 7.56 (d, J...
