Description

[0001] Cross - Reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 721,113, filed on Aug. 22, 2018, and entitled “Arginase Inhibitors and Methods of Use thereof [Arginase Inhibitors and Their Use Methods]”, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Background of the Invention

[0003] Arginase is a manganese metalloenzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L - arginine to urea and L - ornithine. There are two isoforms: arginase 1 is a cytoplasmic enzyme mainly present in hepatocytes, where it plays a key role in ammonia removal through urea synthesis, while arginase 2 is a mitochondrial enzyme highly expressed in the kidney, which is involved in the production of ornithine, a precursor of polyamines and proline that are important for cell proliferation and collagen production, respectively.

[0004] Although L - arginine is not an essential amino acid because it can be provided by protein turnover in healthy adults, under various physiological and pathological conditions (e.g., pregnancy, autoimmune diseases, cancer), increased expression and secretion of arginase lead to reduced L - arginine levels. In particular, immune cells are sensitive to reduced L - arginine levels. When faced with a low L - arginine microenvironment, T cells reduce their proliferation rate and the expression of CD3ζ chain, IFNγ, and lytic enzymes, resulting in impaired T - cell reactivity. Dendritic cells respond to low L - arginine conditions by reducing their ability to present antigens, and natural killer cells reduce the proliferation and expression of lytic enzymes.

[0005] Tumors use multiple immunosuppressive mechanisms to evade the immune system. One of them is to reduce L - arginine by increasing the level of circulating arginase, increasing the expression and secretion of arginase in tumor cells, and recruiting myeloid - derived suppressor cells that express and secrete arginase. These mechanisms together lead to reduced L - arginine in the tumor microenvironment and generate an immunosuppressive phenotype. Pharmacological inhibition of arginase activity has been shown to reverse low L - arginine - induced immunosuppression in animal models. Therefore, there is a need for potent and selective arginase inhibitors, either as single agents or in combination with therapies that reverse other immunosuppressive mechanisms, to reverse immunosuppression and re - activate the anti - cancer immunity of patients.

[0180] Example 4: Biological Activity

[0181] Crystalline material Forms D (Example 1), 1 (Example 2) and E (Example 3) are converted into the same active chemical moiety when dissolved in an aqueous medium, e.g., under physiological conditions. The inhibition of human arginase 1 and arginase 2 activities by Example 1 was quantified by measuring the formation of thiol groups from L-thiocitrulline using recombinant arginase 1 or arginase 2 produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli.). Thiol groups were detected with the Ellman's reagent 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). DTNB reacts with thiols to produce a mixed disulfide and 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid (TNB), the latter being quantified by the absorbance of the anion (TNB 2- ) at 412 nm.

[0182] Assays were performed in clear 384-well plates (Greiner catalog number: 781101). Different concentrations of Example 1 in 300 nL DMSO were dispensed into the assay plates using an Echo acoustic dispenser, and then the plates were immediately sealed and centrifuged.

[0183] Two premixes were prepared from reagents thawed immediately prior to addition to the assay plates. Premix 1 contained human arginase 1 or human arginase 2 at a final concentration of 5 nM and 0.5 mM DTNB in the following assay buffer: 45 mM HEPES pH 7.5, brij 35 (0.045% (w / v)) and 100 μM MnCl2. Premix 2 contained freshly thawed 0.5 mM L-thiocitrulline in the assay buffer. 15 μL of Premix 1 was dispensed into the assay plates containing Example 1, centrifuged and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, then 15 μL of Premix 2 was added.

[0184] Centrifuge the assay plate and then read the absorbance at 412 nm in a Pherastar multimode microplate reader to collect data at time point 0 (T0). Incubate the plate at room temperature for 60 min and then read again to collect data at time point 1 (T1). Obtain the data by subtracting the A412 signal measured at T0 (time point 0) from the A412 signal measured at T1 (time point 1). Convert the data to % activity using the following equation:

[0185] % Activity of compound = 100 * [(X - minimum) / (maximum - minimum)]

[0186] where X represents the normalized value of the compound based on the minimum (vehicle) and maximum (reference compound) inhibition controls.

[0187] Calculate the concentration of Example 1 that inhibits activity by 50% (i.e., IC 50 ) by plotting % activity versus the test compound concentration and fitting the data using the Genedata Screener Smart fitting algorithm. The IC 50 of Example 1 for arginase 1 is 0.222 μM and for arginase 2 is 0.282.
