SOLID AND SALT FORMS OF TCR-NcK MODULATORS AND USES THEREOFCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 614,181, filed on December 22, 2023, the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the solid and salt forms of Compound A, 3-((4-(4- fluorophenyl)-3-(pyrrolidin-l-ylmethyl)-2H-chromen-6-yl)oxy)propanoic acid, and to methods of making such solid and salt forms. This disclosure also provides methods of compounds having the ability to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation by blocking the interaction of TCR with Nek. Therefore, such forms and compositions are useful for treating diseases, disorders, or conditions where such interaction triggers a complication such as transplant rejection reactions, immune or autoimmune disease or proliferation.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, multiple sclerosis (MS), allergies, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn’s disease, or psoriasis are a diverse group of disease in which the adaptive immune system, particularly via T-lymphocytes, attack of the body’s own antigens. It is commonly accepted that T-cells are at the center of all immunological mechanisms. T-cells can recognize both foreign and self-antigens and activate the immune response against them. T-cells recognize antigens via the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), which is responsible for the transmission of signals to the cytoplasm. Indeed, the fact that the haplotype of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is the most important genetic risk factor to the human autoimmune disease places T-cells in the center of all immunopathological events.

[0004] The T-cell recognizes the antigen peptide associated with MHC (pMHC) via the TCR and can translate the small differences in the chemical composition of the pMHC into different quantitative and qualitative results. While a variety of control mechanisms to prevent activation of T-cells bearing TCRs with significant affinity for MHC loaded with self-peptides exists, including suppression of potentially auto-reactive T-cells during maturation in the thymus, thesemechanisms are somewhat insufficient in patients what develop autoimmune diseases and auto- reactive T-cells are activated and expand, overcoming homeostatic controls.

[0005] Upon stimulation, the TCR is activated and undergoes a conformational change that results in the recruitment of different proteins forming the “TCR signalosome” responsible for signal transduction and cell activation. This complex includes the cytosolic protein non-catalytic region of tyrosine kinase protein (Nek) that binds to the proline-rich sequence (PRS) motif present in the CD3s subunit of the TCR. As a result, the TCR conformational change stabilizes, and the activation signal is efficiently transmitted.

[0006] Current therapies for immune diseases appear as immunosuppressive strategies rather than tolerogenic / immunomodulatory approaches. Azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, and cladribine are cytostatic. Other therapies force the depletion of T-cells (Alemtuzumab, anti-CD25) or their retention in the lymph nodes (Fingolimod). Alternatively, indirect modulation of the immune system is also being used as a powerful strategy (BG-12). Therefore, despite the central role of TCR signal for activating T-cells in autoimmune diseases, recent efforts to modulate activation of T-cells are focused on modulating co-stimulatory signals, cytokine receptors, etc., with the consequent lack of specificity and many associated side effects.

[0007] To develop a specific immunomodulatory therapy, many efforts have been focused on characterizing the role of Nek in T-cell activation by means of many different research groups. Nek has been attributed an important role in the function of mature T-cells through studies in knock-out mice lacking Nckl in all tissues and lacking Nck2 conditionally only in T-cells. In these models, the number of peripheral T-cells expressing a TCR with low avidity for self-antigens fell sharply, and a general deterioration in the activation of T-cells by stimulation with weak antigens was observed. Moreover, the importance of Nek was also addressed by generating bone marrow chimeras showing that the PRS motif (Nek binding site in the TCR) is important for the activation of mature T-cells by weak agonists but not strong ones. Similarly, mutation of the PRS motif altered the ability of mice to activate an adaptive immune response in vivo. Furthermore, an inhibitor peptide with high affinity for the SH3.1 domain of Nek alters the assembly of the TCR signalosome, suggesting that the recruitment of Nek is a critical early step in TCR signaling, which represents a target for the modulation of the immune system.

[0008] The document WO 2010 / 064707 describes a series of compounds derived from 2H- chomene for the prevention or treatment of a disease induced by an undesired lymphocyte infdtration mediated by sphingosine- 1 -phosphate (S1P1).

[0009] The document WO 2012 / 042078 also describes chrome derivative with inhibitory capacity of the TCR-Nck interaction in T-cells and their use for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, or transplant rejection.

[0010] It would therefore be desirable to provide novel compounds which are capable of inhibiting TCR-Nck interactions in T lymphocytes, and that are good drug candidates. The compounds should exhibit good activity on in vivo pharmacological trial, good oral absorption when administered orally, as well as being metabolically stable and having a favourable pharmacokinetic profile. Moreover, the compounds should not be toxic and present minimal side effects.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

In general, salt forms or freebase forms, and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful for treating or lessening the severity of a variety of diseases or disorders as described in detail herein.

The term "parenteral" as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intra-synovial, intrastemal, intrathecal, intrahepatic, intralesional and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously. Sterile injectable forms of the compositions of this invention may be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3 -butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium.

[0298] For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents that are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the purposes of formulation.

Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum.

[0305] Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention may also be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well-knownin the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and / or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.

[0306] Most preferably, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention are formulated for oral administration. Such formulations may be administered with or without food. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention are administered without food. In other embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention are administered with food.

[0307] The amount of compounds of the present invention that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a composition in a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated, the particular mode of administration. Preferably, provided compositions should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01 - 100 mg / kg body weight / day of the inhibitor can be administered to a patient receiving these compositions.

[0308] It should also be understood that a specific dosage and treatment regimen for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, and the judgment of the treating physician and the severity of the particular disease being treated. The amount of a compound of the present invention in the composition will also depend upon the particular compound in the composition.Uses of Compounds and Pharmaceutically Acceptable Compositions

[0309] Compounds and compositions described herein are generally useful for the modulation of TCR signaling and T-cell activation via modulation of the interaction between TCR and Nek.

[0310] The activity of a compound utilized in this invention as a modulator of the TCR-Nck interaction, may be assayed in vitro, in vivo or in a cell line. In vitro assays include, for example, assays that measure the proliferation of T-lymphocytes (e.g., Tse, W.T. et al., Transplantation, 2003, 75(3): 389-97, whose contents is incorporated here by reference); measure the polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton induced in T-cells after TCR stimulation (e.g., Fuller,C.L. et al., Immunol. Rev. 2003, 292: 220-36, whose contents is incorporated here by reference); and measure the secretion of cytokines by T-cells caused by stimulation of the TCR (e.g., Finco,D. et al., Cytokine, 2014, 66(2): 143-55, whose contents is incorporated here by reference). Invivo assays include standard animal models for immune and autoimmune disease, which are well- known and are part of the state of the art such as, for example, delayed hypersensitivity (e.g., Kudlacz, E. et al., Am. J. Transplant., 2004, 4(1): 51-7, whose contents is incorporated here by reference); models for rheumatoid arthritis (e.g., Holmdahl, R. et al., APMIS, 1989, 97(7): 575- 84, whose contents is incorporated here by reference); models of multiple sclerosis (experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis) e.g., Gonzalez-Rey, E. etal., Am. J. Pathol. 2006, 168(4): 1279- 88, whose contents is incorporated here by reference; and models of transplant rejection (see, e.g., various animal models described in the references above in relation to the treatment of transplant rejection, incorporated here by reference).

[0311] As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and / or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.

[0312] Provided compounds are modulators of the TCR-Nck interaction and are therefore useful for treating one or more disorders associated with activity of TCR. Thus, in certain embodiments, the present invention provides a method for treating a TCR-Nck mediated disorder comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a compound of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable composition thereof.

[0313] As used herein, the terms “TCR-Nck mediated” disorders, diseases, and / or conditions means any disease, or other deleterious condition, in which the TCR is known to play a role. Accordingly, another embodiment of the present invention relates to treating or lessening the severity of one or more diseases in which TCR is known to play a role. Such TCT-Nck mediated disorders include, without limitation, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders; disorders associated with transplantation; proliferative disorders; and neurological disorders. (See, e.g., O’Sea, J. et al., Nat. Rev. Drug Doscpv. 2004, 3(7): 555-64; Cetkovic-Cvrlje, M. et al., Curr. Pharm. Des. 2004, 10(15): 1767-84; Cetkovic-Cvrlje, M. et al., Arch. Immunol. Ther.

[0322] Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intraci sternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg / kg to about 50 mg / kg and preferably from about 1 mg / kg to about 25 mg / kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.

[0323] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

[0324] Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution,suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3 -butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

[0325] Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial- retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

[0326] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

[0327] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

[0328] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and / or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin,polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

[0329] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well- known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

[0330] The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well-known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0331] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, and eye drops are also contemplated as being within the scope of this invention. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

[0369] A compound of the current invention can be administered alone or in combination with one or more other therapeutic compounds, possible combination therapy taking the form of fixed combinations or the administration of a compound of the invention and one or more other therapeutic compounds being staggered or given independently of one another, or the combined administration of fixed combinations and one or more other therapeutic compounds. As used herein, additional therapeutic agents that are normally administered to treat a particular disease, or condition, are known as “appropriate for the disease, or condition, being treated.”

[0370] Those additional agents may be administered separately from an inventive compoundcontaining composition, as part of a multiple dosage regimen. Alternatively, those agents may bepart of a single dosage form, mixed together with a compound of this invention in a single composition. If administered as part of a multiple dosage regime, the two active agents may be submitted simultaneously, sequentially or within a period of time from one another normally within five hours from one another.

[0371] As used herein, the term “combination,” “combined,” and related terms refers to the simultaneous or sequential administration of therapeutic agents in accordance with this invention. For example, a compound of the present invention may be administered with another therapeutic agent simultaneously or sequentially in separate unit dosage forms or together in a single unit dosage form. Accordingly, the present invention provides a single unit dosage form comprising a compound of the current invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

[0372] The amount of both an inventive compound and additional therapeutic agent (in those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent as described above) that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.
