Description

CRYSTAL FORMS OF A PEPTIDE INHIBITOR OF INTERLEUKIN-23 RECEPTORCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 627,444, filed January 31 , 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entiretyFIELD

[0002] The present invention relates to peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL- 23R) corresponding pharmaceutical compositions, methods and / or uses for treatment of autoimmune inflammation diseases and related disorders.Background

[0003] The interleukin-23 (IL-23) cytokine is a heterodimer composed of an unique pl 9 subunit and the p40 subunit shared with IL- 12, which is a cytokine involved in the development of interferon-y (IFN-y)-producing T helper 1 (THI) cells. Although IL-23 and IL- 12 both contain the p40 subunit, they have different phenotypic properties. For example, animals deficient in IL- 12 are susceptible to inflammatory autoimmune diseases, whereas IL-23 deficient animals are resistant to these diseases, presumably due to a reduced number of CD4+T cells producing IL-6, IL-17, and TNF in the CNS of IL-23-deficient animals. IL-23 binds to IL-23R, which is a heterodimeric receptor composed of IL-12RP1 and IL-23R subunits. Binding of IL-23 to IL-23R activates the Jak-Stat signaling molecules Jak2, Tyk2, Statl, Stat3, Stat4, and Stat5, although Stat4 activation is substantially weaker and different DNA-binding Stat complexes form in response to IL-23 as compared with IL- 12. IL-23R associates constitutively with Jak2 and in a ligand-dependent manner with Stat3. In contrast to IL- 12, which acts mainly on naive CD4(+) T cells, IL-23 preferentially acts on memory CD4(+) T cells.

[0004] IL-23 has been implicated as playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune inflammation and related diseases and disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Studies in acute and chronic mouse models of IBDs revealed a primary role of interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) and downstream effector cytokines in disease pathogenesis. IL-23R is expressed on various adaptive and innate immune cells including Thl7 cells, y5 T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and innate lymphoid cells, which are found abundantly in the intestine. At the intestine mucosal surface, the gene expressionand protein levels of IL-23R are found to be elevated in IBD patients. It is believed that IL-23 mediates this effect by promoting the development of a pathogenic CD4+T cell population that produces IL-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF).

[0005] As discussed in WO 2021 / 146441 and US 2021 / 0261622, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties, the following peptide is a potent inhibitor of IL-23R:

[0006] This peptide is referred to herein as the compound of Formula (I).

[0007] The ongoing need to treat and prevent IL-23 and / or IL-23R associated diseases, especially those associated with autoimmune inflammation (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s Disease (CD), psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis) coupled with the potent activity of the compound of Formula (I) demonstrates that there is a need for novel crystalline forms as well as methods of making the same. The crystalline forms disclosed herein meet this and other needs.Brief Summary

[0147] Production of IL-23 is enriched in the intestine, where it is believed to play a key role in regulating the balance between tolerance and immunity through T-cell-dependent and T-cell- independent pathways of intestinal inflammation through effects on T-helper 1 (Thl) and Thl7- associated cytokines, as well as restraining regulatory T-cell responses in the gut, favoring inflammation. In addition, polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) have been associated with susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), further establishing the critical role of the IL-23 pathway in intestinal homeostasis.
