[0001] Cross-references

[0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 901,249, filed on September 16, 2019, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 061,719, filed on August 5, 2020, U.S. Non-Provisional Application No. 16 / 783,268, filed on February 6, 2020, and PCT Application No. PCT / US2020 / 016925, filed on February 6, 2020, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Art

[0003] Interleukin-17A ("TL-17A") is a proinflammatory cytokine that is a glycoprotein that stimulates the secretion of various other cytokines in various cell types (Spriggs et al., J Clin Immunol, 17: 366-369 (1997)). For example, IL-17A induces IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, TNF-α, IL-1β, PGE2 and IFN-γ, as well as many chemokines and other effectors (Gaffen, Arthritis Research & Therapy 6: 240-247 (2004)). IL-17A is expressed by Th17 cells involved in inflammation and autoimmune pathology, and is also expressed by CD8+T cells, γδ cells, NK cells, NKT cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Although IL-17A and Th17 are involved in inflammation and autoimmune disorders, they are also necessary for defending against various microorganisms.

[0004] IL-17A can form homodimers or heterodimers with its family member IL-17F. IL-17A binds to both IL-T7 RA and IL-17RC to mediate signal transduction. IL-17A transmits signals through its receptors, activating NF-κB transcription factors and various MAPKs (Gaffen, SL, Nature Rev Immunol, 9: 556-567 (2009)). IL-17A can synergize with other inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β) to mediate pro-inflammatory effects (Gaffen, Arthritis Research & Therapy 6: 240-247 (2004)). Increased IL-17A levels have been associated with a variety of diseases, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone erosion, intraperitoneal abscesses, inflammatory bowel disease, allogeneic transplant rejection, psoriasis, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, asthma and multiple sclerosis. IL-17A and Th17 cells producing IL-17A have recently been shown to be associated with certain cancers (Ji and Zhang, Cancer Immunol Immunother 59:979-987 (2010)). For example, Th17 cells expressing IL-17 have been shown to be associated with multiple myeloma (Prabhala et al., Blood, online DOI 10.1182 / blood-2009-10-246660, April 15 (2010)) and are associated with poor prognosis in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (Zhang et al., J Hepatology 50:980-89 (2009)).

[0005] Clearly, regulation of IL-17A has important therapeutic implications. However, despite its therapeutic importance, relatively few examples of small molecule modulators of IL-17A are known. Therefore, there is a need to develop small molecule modulators of IL-17A for the treatment of disease. Summary of the invention

[0259] Chemical entities with carbon-carbon double bonds or carbon-nitrogen double bonds can exist in Z-form or E-form (or cis or trans form). In addition, some chemical entities can exist in various tautomeric forms. Unless otherwise indicated, the compounds described herein are also intended to include all Z-forms, E-forms and tautomeric forms.

[0260] "Isomers" are different compounds with the same molecular formula. "Stereoisomers" are isomers that differ only in the way their atoms are arranged in space. "Enantiomers" are a pair of stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. A 1:1 mixture of a pair of enantiomers is a "racemic" mixture. The term "(±)" is used to refer to a racemic mixture where appropriate. "Diastereomers" or "diastereomers" are stereoisomers that have at least two asymmetric atoms but are not mirror images of each other. Absolute stereochemistry is specified according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog RS system. When a compound is a pure enantiomer, the stereochemistry of each chiral carbon can be specified by R or S. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be specified as (+) or (-) according to the direction (right-handed or left-handed) in which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. Certain compounds described herein contain one or more asymmetric centers and may give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms, whose asymmetric centers may be defined as (R)- or (S)- in terms of absolute stereochemistry. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. The optical activity of the compounds may be analyzed by any suitable method, including but not limited to chiral chromatography and optical rotation, and the predominance of one stereoisomer over another may be determined.

[0261] In the range that the molecules with stereocenters described herein can be prepared by ordinary technicians in the art through routine experiments, when stereochemistry is not specified in the chemical structure, the molecules with stereocenters described herein include isomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, mixtures of enantiomers, including racemates, mixtures of diastereomers, and other mixtures thereof. In certain embodiments, a single enantiomer or diastereomer, that is, an optically active form, can be obtained by asymmetric synthesis or by the resolution of a racemate or a mixture of diastereomers. If possible, the resolution of a racemate or a mixture of diastereomers can be accomplished by conventional methods, such as crystallization in the presence of a resolving agent, or chromatography using, for example, a chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) column. In addition, a mixture of two enantiomers enriched in one of the two enantiomers can be purified to provide a further optically enriched form of the main enantiomer by recrystallization and / or grinding.

[0262] In certain embodiments, the compositions of the present disclosure may include two or more enantiomers or diastereomers of a compound, wherein a single enantiomer or diastereomer accounts for at least about 70% by weight, at least about 80% by weight, at least about 90% by weight, at least about 98% by weight, or at least about 99% by weight or more of the total weight of all stereoisomers. The method of producing substantially pure enantiomers is well known to those skilled in the art. For example, a single stereoisomer, for example, an enantiomer (substantially free of its stereoisomer) can be obtained by splitting a racemic mixture using a method such as using an optically active resolving agent to form diastereomers (EL Elliel, McGraw Hill, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds, (1962); Lochmuller (1975) J. Chromatogr., 113 (3): 283-302). Racemic mixtures of chiral compounds can be separated and isolated by any suitable method, including but not limited to: (1) forming ionic, diastereomeric salts with chiral compounds and separating by fractional crystallization or other methods, (2) using chiral derivatizing reagents to form diastereomeric compounds, separating the diastereomers and converting to pure stereoisomers, and (3) directly separating substantially pure or enriched stereoisomers under chiral conditions. Another method for separating enantiomers is to use a Diacel chiral column and elute with an organic mobile phase, such as performed by Chiral Technologies (www.chiraltech.com) on a fee-for-service basis.

[0263] "Tautomers" refers to molecules in which a proton transfer from one atom of a molecule to another atom of the same molecule is possible. In certain embodiments, the compounds presented herein exist as tautomers. Where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of tautomers will exist. The exact ratio of tautomers depends on a number of factors, including physical state, temperature, solvent, and pH. Some examples of tautomeric equilibrium include:

[0265] In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein are used in different isotopically enriched forms, for example, 2 H. 3 H. 11 C. 13 C and / or 14C content. In a specific embodiment, the compound is deuterated at at least one position. This deuterated form can be prepared by the procedures described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997. As described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,846,514 and 6,334,997, deuteration can improve metabolic stability and or efficacy, thereby increasing the duration of action of the drug.

[0266] Unless otherwise specified, the compounds described herein are intended to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, in addition to the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium or the enrichment of carbon by 13 C or 14 Compounds having the present structures other than carbon substitutions at C are within the scope of this disclosure.

[0267] The compounds of the present disclosure optionally contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be modified with isotopes such as, for example, deuterium ( 2 H), tritium ( 3 H), iodine 125 ( 125 I) or carbon 14 ( 14 C) Marking. 2 H. 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 15 C. 12 N. 13 N. 15 N. 16 N. 16 O. 17 O. 14 F. 15 F. 16 F. 17 F. 18 F. 33 S. 34 S. 35 S. 36 S. 35 Cl, 37 Cl, 79 Br, 81 Br and 125 Isotopic substitutions of I are contemplated. All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.

[0268] In certain embodiments, some or all of the compounds disclosed herein 1 H atoms are 2 H atom replacement. Methods for the synthesis of deuterium containing compounds are known in the art and include the following synthetic methods by way of non-limiting example only.

[0269] Deuterium substituted compounds are synthesized using various methods, such as those described in: Dean, Dennis C., ed., Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Applications of Radiolabeled Compounds for Drug Discovery and Development. [In: Curr., Pharm. Des., 2000; 6(10)] 2000, p. 110; George W.; Varma, Rajender S. The Synthesis of Radiolabeled Compounds via Organometallic Intermediates, Tetrahedron, 1989, 45(21), 6601-21; and Evans, E. Anthony. Synthesis of radiolabeled compounds, J. Radioanal. Chem., 1981, 64(1-2), 9-32.

[0270] Deuterated starting materials are readily available and the synthetic methods described herein are carried out to provide the synthesis of deuterated compounds. A large number of deuterated reagents and building blocks are commercially available from chemical suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co.

[0271] The compounds of the present invention also include crystalline and amorphous forms of those compounds, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity, including, for example, polymorphs, pseudopolymorphs, solvates, hydrates, unsolvated polymorphs (including anhydrous compounds), conformational polymorphs, and amorphous forms of the compounds, and mixtures thereof.

[0272] The present disclosure includes salts of the compounds described herein, particularly pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Compounds of the present disclosure having sufficient acidity, sufficient basicity, or both functional groups can react with a variety of inorganic bases and any of inorganic and organic acids to form salts. Alternatively, inherently charged compounds, such as those having quaternary nitrogen, can form salts with appropriate counterions, for example, halides, such as bromide, chloride, or fluoride, particularly bromide.

[0273] The methods and compositions described herein include the use of amorphous forms as well as crystalline forms (also referred to as polymorphs). The compounds described herein may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Likewise, in some embodiments, active metabolites of these compounds having the same type of activity are included within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, the compounds described herein may exist in unsolvated form as well as in solvated form with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as water, ethanol, etc. The solvated forms of the compounds presented herein are also considered to be disclosed herein.

[0274] The compounds described herein may exist in some cases as diastereomers, enantiomers or other stereoisomeric forms. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomers, enantiomers and epimers and their appropriate mixtures. The separation of stereoisomers can be carried out by chromatography or by forming diastereomers and separating by recrystallization or chromatography, or any combination thereof. (Jean Jacques, Andre Collet, Samuel H. Wilen, "Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions", John Wiley And Sons, Inc., 1981, incorporated herein by reference for this disclosure). Stereoisomers can also be obtained by stereoselective synthesis.

[0275] In certain embodiments, the compound or the salt of the compound can be a prodrug, for example, wherein the hydroxyl in the parent compound exists in the form of an ester or carbonate, or the carboxylic acid present in the parent compound exists in the form of an ester. The term "prodrug" is intended to encompass compounds that are converted into medicaments of the present disclosure under physiological conditions. A method for preparing a prodrug includes one or more selected parts that are hydrolyzed under physiological conditions to display the desired molecule. In other embodiments, the prodrug is converted by the enzymatic activity of the host animal (such as a specific target cell in the host animal). For example, esters or carbonates (for example, esters of alcohol or carboxylic acids or esters of carbonates and phosphonic acids) are preferred prodrugs of the present disclosure.

[0276] Prodrugs are often useful because, in some cases, they can be more easily administered than the parent drug. For example, they can be administered orally with bioavailability, whereas the parent drug is not. Prodrugs can help improve the cell permeability of the compound relative to the parent drug. Prodrugs can also have increased solubility in pharmaceutical compositions relative to the parent drug. Prodrugs can be designed as reversible drug derivatives, used as modifiers to enhance the transport of drugs to specific site tissues or to increase the retention of drugs within cells.

[0277] In certain embodiments, the prodrug can be converted to the parent compound under intracellular conditions, for example, enzymatically or chemically. In certain embodiments, the parent compound comprises an acidic portion, for example, produced by the hydrolysis of the prodrug, which can be charged under intracellular conditions. In a specific embodiment, the prodrug is converted to the parent compound once it has entered the cell through the cell membrane. In certain embodiments, the parent compound has reduced cell membrane permeability properties relative to the prodrug, such as reduced lipophilicity and increased hydrophilicity.

[0278] In some embodiments, the design of the prodrug increases the lipophilicity of the agent. In some embodiments, the design of the prodrug increases the effective water solubility. See, e.g., Fedorak et al., Am. J. Physiol., 269:G210-218 (1995); McLoed et al., Gastroenterol, 106:405-413 (1994); Hochhaus et al., Biomed. Chrom., 6:283-286 (1992); J. Larsen and H. Bundgaard, Int.

[0306] The compositions provided herein contain a therapeutically effective amount of one or more compounds provided herein and vehicles, and the compounds are used to prevent, treat or improve one or more symptoms of the diseases or conditions described herein. Vehicles suitable for administering the compounds provided herein include any such carriers known to those skilled in the art to be suitable for a particular mode of administration. In addition, the compounds may be formulated as the only active ingredient in the composition or may be combined with other active ingredients.

[0307] The composition contains one or more compounds provided herein. In some embodiments, the compound is formulated into a suitable preparation, such as a solution, suspension, tablet, dispersible tablet, pill, capsule, powder, sustained release formulation or elixir, for oral administration or in a sterile solution or suspension for parenteral administration, as well as topical administration, transdermal administration and oral inhalation by a nebulizer, pressurized metered dose inhaler and dry powder inhaler. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned compound is formulated into a composition using techniques and procedures well known in the art (see, e.g., Ansel, Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Seventh Edition (1999)).

[0308] In the composition, one or more compounds or derivatives thereof at effective concentrations are mixed with a suitable vehicle. As described above, the compound can be derived into a corresponding salt, ester, enol ether or ester, acetal, ketal, orthoester, hemiacetal, hemiketal, acid, base, solvate, ion pair, hydrate or prodrug before preparation. The concentration of the compound in the composition is effective for delivering a certain amount, which is effective for treating, causing prevention or improving one or more symptoms of a disease or condition described herein after administration. In some embodiments, the composition is formulated for single dose administration. In order to prepare the composition, a certain weight fraction of the compound is dissolved, suspended, dispersed or otherwise mixed in a selected vehicle at an effective concentration so that the condition treated is alleviated, prevented, or one or more symptoms are improved.

[0309] The active compound is contained in a vehicle in an amount sufficient to exert a therapeutically useful effect on the patient being treated without undesirable side effects. The therapeutically effective concentration can be predicted empirically by testing the compound in in vitro and in vivo systems well known to those skilled in the art and then extrapolating the dosage for humans therefrom. The human dosage is then usually fine-tuned in clinical trials and titrated according to the response.

[0310] The concentration of the active compound in the composition will depend on the absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the active compound, the physicochemical properties of the compound, the dosage schedule and the amount of administration, and other factors known to those skilled in the art. For example, the amount delivered is sufficient to improve one or more symptoms of a disease or condition as described herein.

[0311] In cases where the compound exhibits insufficient solubility, methods for solubilizing the compound may be used, such as the use of liposomes, prodrugs, complexation / chelation, nanoparticles or emulsions or tertiary molding. Such methods are known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, the use of cosolvents, such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the use of surfactants or surface modifiers, such as Complexing agents, such as cyclodextrins, or solubilization by enhanced ionization (ie, dissolution in aqueous sodium bicarbonate). Derivatives of the compounds, such as prodrugs of the compounds, may also be used to formulate effective compositions.

[0312] After mixing or adding the compounds, the resulting mixture can be a solution, suspension, emulsion, etc. The form of the resulting mixture depends on many factors, including the intended mode of administration and the solubility of the compound in the selected vehicle. The effective concentration is sufficient to improve the symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition being treated and can be determined empirically.

[0313] Compositions are provided in dosage forms suitable for indications for administration to humans and animals, such as dry powder inhalers (DPI), pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI), nebulizers, tablets, capsules, pills, sublingual patches / bioerosion strips, tablets or capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, lotions, ointments, suppositories, fast dissolving agents, transdermal patches or other transdermal application devices / products, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, oral solutions or suspensions, and oil-water emulsions containing an appropriate amount of compound or its derivatives. In some embodiments, therapeutically active compounds and derivatives thereof are formulated and administered in unit dose form or multiple dose form. Unit dose form as used herein refers to physically discrete units that are suitable for human and animal subjects and are individually packaged as known in the art. Each unit dose contains a predetermined amount of therapeutically active compounds sufficient to produce the desired therapeutic effect and the required vehicle. Examples of unit dose forms include ampoules and syringes and independently packaged tablets or capsules. Unit dose forms can be divided into several portions or multiple administrations. A multiple dose form is a plurality of identical unit dose forms packaged in a single container to be administered in separate unit dosage forms. Examples of multiple dose forms include vials, bottles, or pint or gallon bottles containing tablets or capsules. Thus, a multiple dose form is a plurality of unit doses that are not separated in the packaging.

[0314] For example, liquid compositions can be prepared by dissolving, dispersing or otherwise mixing the active compound as defined above and optional adjuvants in a vehicle such as, for example, water, saline, aqueous dextrose, glycerol, glycols, ethanol, etc., to form a solution or suspension, colloidal dispersion, emulsion or liposomal preparation. If desired, the composition to be administered may also contain small amounts of non-toxic auxiliary substances such as wetting agents, emulsifiers, solubilizers, pH buffers, etc., for example, acetate, sodium citrate, cyclodextrin derivatives, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine sodium acetate, triethanolamine oleate and other such agents.

[0315] Actual methods of preparing such dosage forms are known or will be apparent to those skilled in the art; for example, see Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., 15th edition, 1975 or subsequent editions thereof.

[0316] Dosage forms or compositions can be prepared containing active ingredients in the range of 0.005% to 100% with the balance consisting of vehicles or carriers. Methods for preparing these compositions are known to those skilled in the art. Contemplated compositions may contain 0.001%-100% active ingredients, in one embodiment 0.1-95%, and in another embodiment 0.4-10%.

[0317] In certain embodiments, the composition is a lactose-free composition containing excipients that are well known in the art and listed, for example, in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) 25-NF20 (2002). Typically, a lactose-free composition contains an active ingredient, a binder / filler, and a lubricant in equal amounts. A specific lactose-free dosage form contains an active ingredient, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate.

[0318] Anhydrous compositions and dosage forms comprising active ingredients are further provided, because water can promote the degradation of some compounds. For example, adding water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted as a means of simulating long-term storage to determine properties such as the shelf life or stability of a formulation over time. See, for example, Jens T.Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles & Practice, 2nd edition, Marcel Dekker, NY, NY, 1995, pp.379-80. In fact, water and heat can accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Therefore, the effect of water on the formulation may be very important, because moisture and / or humidity are usually encountered during the manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, transportation and use of the formulation.

[0319] Anhydrous compositions and dosage forms provided herein can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions.

[0320] Anhydrous compositions should be prepared and stored so that their anhydrous nature is maintained. Therefore, anhydrous compositions are typically packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water so that they can be contained in a suitable formulary kit. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, airtight foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials), blister packs, and strip packs.

[0321] Oral dosage forms are solid, gel or liquid. Solid dosage forms are tablets, capsules, granules and bulk powders. Types of oral tablets include compressed chewable lozenges and tablets that can be enteric coated, sugar coated or film coated. Capsules can be hard or soft gelatin capsules, while granules and powders can be provided in non-effervescent or effervescent forms in combination with other ingredients known to those skilled in the art.

[0322] In certain embodiments, the preparation is a solid dosage form, such as, for example, a capsule or tablet. Tablets, pills, capsules, lozenges, etc. may contain one or more of the following ingredients or compounds of similar nature: binder; lubricant; diluent; glidant; disintegrant; colorant; sweetener; flavoring agent; wetting agent; enteric coating; film coating agent and modified release agent. Examples of binders include microcrystalline cellulose, methyl paraben, polyalkylene oxide, tragacanth, glucose solution, acacia mucilage, gelatin solution, molasses, polyvinyl pyrrolidine, povidone, crospovidone, sucrose and starch and starch derivatives. Lubricants include talc, starch, magnesium stearate / calcium stearate, lycopodium powder and stearic acid.

Flow aids include, but are not limited to, colloidal silicon dioxide. Disintegrants include cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium starch glycolate, alginic acid, corn starch, potato starch, bentonite, methylcellulose, agar and carboxymethylcellulose. Colorants include, for example, any approved certified water-soluble FD and C dyes, mixtures thereof; and water-insoluble FD and C dyes suspended on alumina hydrate and advanced coloring or anti-counterfeiting colors / milky additives known to those skilled in the art. Sweeteners include sucrose, lactose, mannitol and artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin and any amount of spray-dried spices. Flavoring agents include natural flavors extracted from plants such as fruits, and synthetic blends of compounds that produce pleasant sensations or mask unpleasant tastes, such as, but not limited to, mint and methyl salicylate. Wetting agents include propylene glycol monostearate, sorbitan monooleate, diethylene glycol monolaurate and polyoxyethylene lauryl ether. Enteric coatings include fatty acids, fats, waxes, shellac, ammoniated shellac and cellulose acetate phthalate. Film coatings include hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol 4000, and cellulose acetate phthalate. Modified release agents include polymers such as Series and cellulose esters.

[0323] The compound or its derivative can be provided in the form of a composition that protects it from the acidic environment of the stomach. For example, the composition can be formulated in an enteric coating that maintains its integrity in the stomach and releases the active compound in the intestine. The composition can also be formulated in combination with an antacid or other such ingredients.

[0324] When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to the above types of materials, a liquid carrier, such as a fatty oil. In addition, the dosage unit form may contain various other materials that change the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar and other enteric solvents. The compound may also be administered as a component of an elixir, suspension, syrup, wafer, sprinkle, chewing gum, etc. In addition to the active compound, the syrup may also contain sucrose as a sweetener and certain preservatives, dyes, coloring agents, and flavoring agents.

[0325] The active material may also be mixed with other active materials that do not impair the desired effect, or with materials that supplement the desired effect such as antacids, H2 blockers and diuretics. The active ingredient is a compound as described herein or a derivative thereof. Higher concentrations, up to about 98% by weight of the active ingredient may be included.

[0326] In all embodiments, tablet and capsule formulations may be coated as known to those skilled in the art to improve or maintain the dissolution of the active ingredient. Thus, for example, they may be coated with conventional enteric digestible coatings such as phenyl salicylate, wax and cellulose acetate phthalate.

[0327] Liquid oral dosage forms include aqueous solutions, emulsions, suspensions, solutions and / or suspensions reconstituted from non-effervescent granules and effervescent preparations reconstituted from effervescent granules. Aqueous solutions include, for example, elixirs and syrups. Emulsions are oil-in-water or water-in-oil types.

[0328] Elixirs are clear, sweetened hydroalcoholic preparations. The vehicles used in elixirs include solvents. Syrups are concentrated aqueous solutions of sugars such as sucrose and may contain preservatives. Emulsions are two-phase systems in which one liquid is completely dispersed in another liquid in the form of globules. The carriers used in emulsions are non-aqueous liquids, emulsifiers, and preservatives. Suspensions use suspending agents and preservatives. Acceptable substances used in non-effervescent granules to be reconstituted into liquid oral dosage forms include diluents, sweeteners, and wetting agents. Acceptable substances used in effervescent granules to be reconstituted into liquid oral dosage forms include organic acids and carbon dioxide sources. Colorants and flavorings are used in all of the above dosage forms.

[0329] Solvents include glycerine, sorbitol, ethanol and syrup. Examples of preservatives include glycerine, methyl and propyl parabens, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate and alcohol. Examples of non-aqueous liquids used in emulsions include mineral oil and cottonseed oil. Examples of emulsifiers include gelatin, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, bentonite and surfactants such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. Suspending agents include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, pectin, gum tragacanth, magnesium aluminum silicate (Veegum) and gum arabic.

Carbon dioxide sources include sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. Colorants include any approved certified water-soluble FD and C dyes, and mixtures thereof. Flavoring agents include natural flavors extracted from plants such as fruits, and synthetic blends of compounds that produce a pleasant taste.

[0330] In some embodiments, solid dosage forms, solutions or suspensions, e.g., propylene carbonate, vegetable oils or triglycerides, are encapsulated in gelatin capsules. Such solutions and their preparation and encapsulation are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,328,245; 4,409,239; and 4,410,545. For liquid dosage forms, for example, a solution in polyethylene glycol can be diluted with a sufficient amount of a liquid vehicle, e.g., water, so that it can be easily measured for administration.

[0331] Alternatively, liquid or semisolid oral preparations can be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the active compound or salt in vegetable oils, glycols, triglycerides, propylene glycol esters (e.g., propylene carbonate) and other such carriers, and encapsulating these solutions or suspensions in hard or soft gelatin capsule shells. Other useful preparations include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. RE28,819 and 4,358,603. Briefly, such formulations include, but are not limited to, those containing a compound provided herein, a dialkylated mono- or polyalkylene glycol, including, but not limited to, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether, polyethylene glycol-350-dimethyl ether, polyethylene glycol-550-dimethyl ether, polyethylene glycol-750-dimethyl ether (wherein 350, 550, and 750 refer to the approximate average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol), and one or more antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), propyl gallate, vitamin E, hydroquinone, hydroxycoumarins, ethanolamine, lecithin, cephalin, ascorbic acid, malic acid, sorbitol, phosphoric acid, thiodipropionic acid and its esters, and dithiocarbamates.

[0332] Other formulations include, but are not limited to, aqueous alcohol solutions comprising acetals. The alcohol used in these formulations is any water-miscible solvent having one or more hydroxyl groups, including but not limited to propylene glycol and ethanol. Acetals include, but are not limited to, di(lower alkyl) acetals of lower alkyl aldehydes, such as acetaldehyde diethyl acetal.

[0333] In some embodiments characterized by subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection, parenteral administration is also contemplated herein. Injectables can be prepared in conventional forms as liquid solutions or suspensions, solid forms suitable for dissolving or being suspended in liquids before injection, or as emulsions. Injectables, solutions and emulsions also contain one or more excipients. Suitable excipients are, for example, water, saline, dextrose, glycerol or ethanol. In addition, if desired, the composition to be administered can also contain a small amount of non-toxic auxiliary substances, such as wetting agents or emulsifiers, pH buffers, stabilizers, solubility enhancers and other such reagents, such as, for example, sodium acetate, sorbitan monolaurate, triethanolamine oleate and cyclodextrins.

[0334] Implantation of a sustained-release or sustained-release system is also contemplated herein so that a constant dosage level is maintained (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 3,710,795). Briefly, the compounds provided herein are dispersed in a solid internal matrix, such as polymethyl methacrylate, polybutyl methacrylate, plasticized or unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, silicone carbonate copolymers, hydrophilic polymers such as hydrogels of acrylic acid and methacrylate, collagen, cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol, and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate. The present invention relates to a parenteral composition comprising a polyol, polypropylene, ethylene / propylene copolymer, ethylene / ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer, silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, chloroprene rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber epichlorohydrin rubber, ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene / vinyl acetate / vinyl alcohol terpolymer and ethylene / vinyloxyethanol copolymer, which is insoluble in body fluids. The compound diffuses through the outer polymer film in a release rate controlling step. The percentage of active compound contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on its specific properties, as well as the activity of the compound and the needs of the subject.

[0335] Parenteral administration of the composition includes intravenous, subcutaneous and intramuscular administration. Formulations for parenteral administration include sterile solutions ready for injection, sterile dry soluble products ready to be combined with solvents just before use, such as lyophilized powders, including tablets for subcutaneous injection, sterile suspensions ready for injection, sterile dry insoluble products ready to be combined with vehicles just before use, and sterile emulsions. Solutions can be aqueous or non-aqueous.

[0336] If administered intravenously, suitable carriers include physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and solutions containing thickening and solubilizing agents such as glucose, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol, and mixtures thereof.

[0337] Vehicles used in parenteral formulations include aqueous vehicles, non-aqueous vehicles, antimicrobial agents, isotonic agents, buffers, antioxidants, local anesthetics, suspending and dispersing agents, emulsifiers, sequestering or chelating agents, and other substances.

[0338] Examples of aqueous vehicles include sodium chloride injection, Ringer's injection, isotonic dextrose injection, sterile water injection, dextrose and lactated Ringer's injection. Non-aqueous parenteral vehicles include fixed oils of plant origin, cottonseed oil, corn oil, sesame oil and peanut oil. Antimicrobial agents that inhibit bacteria or inhibit fungi concentrations must be added to parenteral preparations packaged in multi-dose containers, including phenols or cresols, mercurial preparations, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, methylparaben and propylparaben, thimerosal, benzalkonium chloride and benzethonium chloride. Isotonic agents include sodium chloride and dextrose. Buffers include phosphates and citrates. Antioxidants include sodium bisulfate. Local anesthetics include procaine hydrochloride. Suspending agents and dispersants include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Emulsifiers include polysorbate 80 ( 80). Metal ion sequestrants or chelators include EDTA. Carriers also include ethanol, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol for water-miscible vehicles; and sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, citric acid or lactic acid for adjusting pH.

[0339] The concentration of the compound is adjusted so that the injection provides an effective amount to produce the desired pharmacological effect. The exact dose depends on the age, weight, body surface area and condition of the patient or animal as known in the art.

[0340] Unit dose parenteral preparations are packaged in ampoules, vials or syringes with needles. As is known and practiced in the art, all preparations for parenteral administration must be sterile.

[0341] Illustratively, intravenous or intraarterial infusion of a sterile aqueous solution containing the active compound is an effective mode of administration.Another embodiment is a sterile aqueous or oily solution or suspension containing the active material, which is injected as needed to produce the desired pharmacological effect.

[0342] Injections are designed for local and systemic administration. In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective dose is formulated to contain at least about 0.01% w / w up to about 90% w / w or higher concentrations, in certain embodiments, greater than 0.1% w / w of active compound to target the tissue being treated.

[0343] The compound may be suspended in a micronized or other suitable form, or may be derivatized to produce a more soluble active product or to produce a prodrug. The form of the resulting mixture depends on many factors, including the intended mode of administration and the solubility of the compound in the selected carrier or vehicle. The effective concentration is sufficient to ameliorate the symptoms of the condition and can be determined empirically.

[0344] The active ingredients provided herein can be administered by controlled release means or by delivery devices known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in the following U.S. Patent Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 4,008,719; 5,674,533; 5,059,595; 5,591,767; 5,120,548; 5,073,543; 5,639,476; 5,354,556; 5,639,480; 5,733,566; 5,739,108; 5,89 Such dosage forms can be used to provide sustained or controlled release of one or more active ingredients, for example, using hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, microspheres, or combinations thereof, to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable controlled-release formulations known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the active ingredients provided herein.

[0345] All controlled-release products have a common goal, namely to improve drug therapy relative to the effects achieved by non-controlled-release products. Ideally, the use of optimized controlled-release formulations in medical treatments is characterized by using a minimum of bulk drugs to cure or control the condition in the shortest possible time. The advantages of controlled-release formulations include extended drug activity, reduced dosing frequency, and improved patient compliance. In addition, controlled-release formulations can be used to affect the onset time or other characteristics, such as the blood level of the drug, thereby affecting the occurrence of side effects (e.g., adverse reactions).

[0346] Most controlled-release preparations are designed to release a certain amount of drug (active ingredient) at the beginning to quickly produce the desired therapeutic effect, and then gradually and continuously release other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic or preventive effect over a longer period of time. In order to maintain this constant drug level in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a certain rate to compensate for the amount of drug that is metabolized and excreted from the body. The controlled release of the active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions, including but not limited to pH, temperature, enzymes, water or other physiological conditions or compounds.

[0347] In certain embodiments, the agent can be administered using intravenous infusion, implantable osmotic pumps, transdermal patches, liposomes, or other modes of administration. In some embodiments, a pump can be used (see, Sefton, CRC Crit. Ref. Biomed. Eng. 14: 201 (1987); Buchwald et al., Surgery 88: 507 (1980); Saudek et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 321: 574 (1989)). In other embodiments, polymeric materials can be used. In other embodiments, the controlled release system can be placed near the therapeutic target, i.e., only a portion of the systemic dose is required (see, e.g., Goodson, Medical Applications of Controlled Release, vol. 2, pp. 115-138 (1984)). In some embodiments, the controlled release device is introduced into the vicinity of inappropriate immune activation or tumor sites in the subject. Other controlled release systems are discussed in Langer's review (Science 249: 1527-1533 (1990)). The active ingredient can be dispersed in a solid internal matrix, for example, polymethyl methacrylate, polybutyl methacrylate, plasticized or unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, silicone carbonate copolymers, hydrophilic polymers such as hydrogels of acrylic acid and methacrylate, collagen, cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol and cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, It is surrounded by an outer polymer film, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene / propylene copolymers, ethylene / ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymers, silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, chloroprene rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, copolymers of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber epichlorohydrin rubber, ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymers, ethylene / vinyl acetate / vinyl alcohol terpolymers and ethylene / ethyleneoxyethanol copolymers, which are insoluble in body fluids. The active ingredient then diffuses through the outer polymer film in a release rate controlling step. The percentage of active ingredient contained in such parenteral compositions is highly dependent on its specific properties and the needs of the subject.

[0348] Also of interest herein are lyophilized powders, which can be reconstituted for administration as solutions, emulsions and other mixtures. They can also be reconstituted and formulated as solids or gels.

[0349] Sterile lyophilized powder is prepared by dissolving the compound or its derivative provided herein in a suitable solvent. The solvent may include excipients that improve the stability of the powder or the reconstituted solution prepared from the powder or other pharmacological components. Excipients that can be used include, but are not limited to, antioxidants, buffers, and fillers. In some embodiments, the excipient is selected from dextrose, sorbitol, fructose, corn syrup, xylitol, glycerol, glucose, sucrose, and other suitable agents. The solvent may include a buffer, such as citrate, sodium phosphate or potassium phosphate, or other such buffers known to those skilled in the art, with a pH of about neutral. The solution is then sterile filtered and then freeze-dried under standard conditions known to those skilled in the art to provide the desired formulation. In some embodiments, the resulting solution is dispensed into vials for freeze-drying. Each vial will contain a single dose or multiple doses of the compound. The freeze-dried powder can be stored under appropriate conditions, such as about 4°C to room temperature.

[0350] Reconstitution of the lyophilized powder with water for injection provides a formulation for parenteral administration. For reconstitution, the lyophilized powder is added to sterile water or other suitable carrier. The exact amount depends on the compound selected. Such an amount can be determined empirically.

[0351] Topical mixtures are prepared as described for topical and systemic administration. The resulting mixture can be a solution, suspension, emulsion, etc., and formulated into creams, gels, ointments, emulsions, solutions, elixirs, lotions, suspensions, tinctures, pastes, foams, aerosols, rinses, sprays, suppositories, bandages, skin patches, or any other formulation suitable for topical administration.

[0352] The compound or its derivative can be formulated into an aerosol for topical application, such as by inhalation application (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,044,126, 4,414,209 and 4,364,923, which describe aerosols for delivering steroids useful for treating inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma). These formulations for respiratory administration can be in the form of an aerosol or solution for a nebulizer, or as a finely divided powder for insufflation, used alone or in combination with an inert carrier such as lactose. In such cases, in some embodiments, the mass median geometric diameter of the particles of the formulation is less than 5 microns, and in other embodiments less than 10 microns.

[0353] Oral inhalation formulations of compounds or derivatives suitable for inhalation include metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and liquid formulations for administration from nebulizers or metered dose liquid dispensing systems. For metered dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers, the crystalline form of the compound or derivative is the preferred physical form of the drug to impart longer product stability.

[0354] In addition to particle size reduction methods known to those skilled in the art, supercritical fluid processing can also be used to generate crystalline particles of compounds or derivatives, which have significant advantages in producing such particles for inhalation delivery by producing respirable particles of the desired size in one step (e.g., International Publication No. WO2005 / 025506). The controlled particle size of microcrystals can be selected to ensure that a significant proportion of compounds or derivatives are deposited in the lungs. In some embodiments, the mass median aerodynamic diameter of these particles is about 0.1 to about 10 microns, in other embodiments, about 1 to about 5 microns, and in other embodiments, about 1.2 to about 3 microns.

[0355] The inert and non-flammable HFA propellants are selected from HFA 134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) and HFA 227e (1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane) and are provided alone or in a ratio that matches the crystal particle density of the compound or derivative. The ratio is also selected to ensure that the product suspension avoids harmful sedimentation or becoming creamy (which can lead to irreversible agglomeration), and instead promotes a loose flocculated system that is easily dispersed when shaken. Loosely flocculated systems are widely believed to provide the best stability for pMDI cans. Due to the nature of the formulation, the formulation does not contain ethanol and does not contain surfactants / stabilizers.

[0356] The compounds can be formulated for topical or local application, such as, topical application to the skin and mucous membranes, such as the eyes, in the form of gels, creams and lotions, as well as application to the eyes or application into the cisterns or into the spine. Topical administration is contemplated for transdermal delivery, as well as for application to the eyes or mucous membranes, or for inhalation therapy. Nasal solutions of the active compounds can also be administered alone or in combination with other excipients.

[0357] For nasal administration, the formulation may contain the esterified phosphonate compound dissolved or suspended in a liquid carrier, particularly an aqueous carrier, for aerosol application. The carrier may contain a solubilizing or suspending agent such as propylene glycol, a surfactant, an absorption promoter such as lecithin or cyclodextrin, or a preservative.

[0358] Solutions, particularly those intended for ophthalmic use, can be formulated as 0.01%-10% isotonic solutions with appropriate salts, at a pH of about 5-7.4.

[0359] Other routes of administration, such as transdermal patches, including iontophoretic and electrophoretic devices, and rectal administration are also contemplated herein.

[0360] Transdermal patches, including iontophoresis and electrophoresis devices, are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, such patches are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,267,983, 6,261,595, 6,256,533, 6,167,301, 6,024,975, 6,010715, 5,985,317, 5,983,134, 5,948,433 and 5,860,957.

[0361] For example, the dosage form for rectal administration is a rectal suppository, capsule and tablet for systemic effect. Rectal suppository used herein refers to a solid for insertion into the rectum, which melts or softens at body temperature, thereby releasing one or more pharmacological or therapeutically active ingredients. The material used in the rectal suppository is a matrix or vehicle and an agent that improves the melting point. The example of the matrix includes a suitable mixture of monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides of the glycerides of the fatty acid of the cocoa butter (cocoa butter), glycerol-gelatin, carbowax (polyethylene glycol) and fatty acids. A combination of various matrices can be used. The agent that improves the melting point of the suppository includes spermaceti and wax. Rectal suppositories can be prepared by compression or by molding. In one embodiment, the weight of the rectal suppository is about 2 to 3 grams. The tablets and capsules used for rectal administration are prepared using the same material and the same method as the preparations used for oral administration.

[0362] Compounds or derivatives thereof provided herein can also be formulated into targeting specific tissues, receptors or other areas of the subject's body to be treated. Many such targeting methods are well known to those skilled in the art. All such targeting methods are contemplated herein for use in the compositions of the present invention. For non-limiting examples of targeting methods, see, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,316,652, 6,274,552, 6,271,359, 6,253,872, 6,139,865, 6,131,570, 6,120,751, 6,071,495, 6,060,082, 6,048,736, 6,039,975, 6,004,534, 5,985,307, 5,972,366, 5,900,252, 5,840,674, 5,759,542 and 5,709,874.

[0363] In some embodiments, liposome suspensions, including liposomes targeting tissues, such as liposomes targeting tumors, may also be suitable as carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, liposome preparations can be prepared as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,522,811. In short, liposomes such as multilamellar vesicles (MLV) can be formed by the following steps: phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine (7:3 molar ratio) are dried inside the flask. A solution of the compound provided herein in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) lacking divalent cations is added, and the flask is shaken until the lipid film is dispersed. The obtained vesicles are washed to remove the unencapsulated compound, precipitated by centrifugation, and then resuspended in PBS.

[0364] The compound or derivative can be packaged into an article of manufacture, which comprises packaging materials (the compound or derivative provided herein that is effective in treating, preventing or ameliorating one or more symptoms of the above-mentioned diseases or conditions is within the packaging materials) and a label indicating that the compound or composition or derivative thereof is used to treat, prevent or improve one or more symptoms of the above-mentioned diseases or conditions.

[0365] The articles provided herein contain packaging materials. Packaging materials for packaging products are well known to those skilled in the art. See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,323,907, 5,052,558 and 5,033,252. Examples of packaging materials include, but are not limited to, blister packs, bottles, tubes, inhalers, pumps, bags, vials, containers, syringes, bottles, and any packaging materials suitable for selected formulations and intended modes of administration and treatment. Various formulations of the compounds and compositions provided herein are contemplated for use as a variety of treatments for any disease or condition described herein.

[0366] For the treatment or prevention of infectious diseases, the compounds described herein or their pharmaceutical compositions are administered or applied in a therapeutically effective amount. In human treatment, the doctor will determine the most suitable dosage regimen according to preventive or therapeutic treatment and according to the specific age, weight, disease stage and other factors of the subject to be treated. The amount of the active ingredient effectively preventing or treating infectious diseases in the preparations provided herein will vary with the nature and severity of the disease or condition and the route of administration of the active ingredient. Frequency and dosage will also vary according to factors specific to each subject, depending on the specific therapy (e.g., therapeutic agent or preventive agent) administered, the severity of the infection, the route of administration, and the age, weight, reaction and previous medical history of the subject.

[0367] Exemplary dosages of the formulations include milligram or microgram amounts of active compound per kilogram of subject (e.g., about 1 microgram / kg to about 50 mg / kg, about 10 microgram / kg to about 30 mg / kg, about 100 microgram / kg to about 10 mg / kg, or about 100 microgram / kg to about 5 mg / kg).

[0368] In some embodiments, the therapeutically effective dose should produce a serum concentration of the active ingredient of about 0.001 ng / ml to about 50-200 μg / ml. In other embodiments, the composition should provide a dosage of about 0.0001 mg to about 70 mg of compound per kilogram of body weight per day. The dosage unit form is prepared to provide about 0.01 mg, 0.1 mg or 1 mg to about 500 mg, 1000 mg or 5000 mg per dosage unit form, and in some embodiments, a combination of about 10 mg to about 500 mg of active ingredient or essential ingredients is provided.

[0369] The active ingredient can be applied once, or can be divided into a plurality of smaller doses and applied at certain time intervals. It should be understood that the precise dosage and duration of treatment are functions of the disease being treated, and can be determined empirically using known test protocols or by extrapolating from in vivo or in vitro test data or subsequent clinical trials. It should be noted that concentrations and dosage values ​​can also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It should be further understood that for any particular object, a specific dosage regimen should be adjusted over time according to individual needs and the professional judgment of the user of the application or supervision of the composition, and the concentration ranges proposed herein are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope or implementation of the claimed composition.

[0370] In some cases, it may be necessary to use dosages of the active ingredient outside the range disclosed herein, which will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. In addition, it is noted that the clinician or treating physician will know how and when to interrupt, adjust or terminate treatment in conjunction with the subject's response.

[0371] For systemic administration, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from in vitro assays. For example, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating concentration range that includes the IC determined in cell culture. 50 (i.e., the concentration of test compound lethal to 50% of the cell cultures), or the IC determined in cell culture 100 (ie, the concentration of compound that is 100% lethal to the cell culture.) Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans.

[0372] Initial dosages can also be estimated from in vivo data (eg, animal models) using techniques known in the art. One of ordinary skill in the art can easily optimize administration to humans based on animal data.

[0373] Alternatively, the IC of a specific compound disclosed herein may be 50 , MIC and / or I 100 IC with known drugs 50, MIC and / or I 100 The initial dose is determined from the administered doses of the known agents by comparison and adjusted accordingly. The optimal dose can be obtained from these initial values ​​by routine optimization.

[0374] In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of compound used may not be related to plasma concentration. One skilled in the art will be able to optimize the therapeutically effective local dose without undue experimentation.

[0375] Ideally, a therapeutically effective dose of the compounds described herein will provide therapeutic benefit without causing significant toxicity. The toxicity of a compound can be determined using standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, for example, by determining the LD 50 (dose lethal to 50% of a population) or LD 100 (a dose that is 100% lethal to the population). The dose ratio between toxic effects and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index. Compounds that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used to formulate a dosage range that is non-toxic to the subject. The dose of the compounds described herein is preferably within a circulating concentration range that includes the effective dose and has little or no toxicity. The dose may vary within this range, depending on the dosage form used and the route of administration adopted. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be selected by an individual physician according to the patient's condition (see, e.g., Fingl et al., 1975, In: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Ch. 1, p. 1).

[0376] Treatment can be repeated intermittently. In certain embodiments, the administration of the same formulation provided herein can be repeated, and the administration can be separated by at least 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 30 days, 45 days, 2 months, 75 days, 3 months or 6 months. In other embodiments, the administration can be separated.

[0377] Therapeutic applications

[0378] In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III), (IV), or a compound or salt thereof described in the Examples may be used to treat or prevent a disease or condition mediated directly or indirectly by IL-17A. Such diseases include inflammatory diseases and conditions, proliferative diseases (e.g., cancer), autoimmune diseases, and other diseases described herein. The method generally comprises administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof.

[0379] Elevated IL-17A levels have been associated with several conditions, including airway inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis, bone erosion, intraperitoneal abscesses and adhesions, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), allogeneic transplant rejection, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, certain types of cancer, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Both IL-17A and IL-17R are upregulated in the synovial tissue of RA patients. IL-17A plays a role in the pathogenesis of RA through IL-1-β and TNF-α dependent and independent pathways. IL-17A stimulates the secretion of other cytokines and chemokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and Gro-α. IL-17A directly promotes the disease progression of RA. IL-17A injected into the knees of mice promotes joint destruction, regardless of IL-Iβ activity (Ann Rheum Dis 2000, 59: 529-32). Anti-IL-1β antibodies have no effect on IL-17A-induced inflammation and joint damage (J Immunol 2001, 167: 1004-1013). In the SCW-induced murine arthritis model, IL-17A induces inflammatory cell infiltration and proteoglycan consumption in wild-type and IL-1β knockout and TNF-α knockout mice. IL-17A knockout mice are phenotypically normal in the absence of antigenic challenge, but arthritis is significantly reduced after type II collagen immunization (J Immunol 2003, 171: 6173-6177). Increased levels of cells secreting IL-17A have also been observed in the face joints of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (H Appel et al., Arthritis Res Therap 2011, 13: R95).

[0380] Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) with damage to the myelin sheath surrounding the axons. The hallmark of MS is the infiltration of T cells into the CNS. Compared with the remission period, a greater number of blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) expressing IL-17A mRNA were detected during clinical exacerbations of MS (Multiple Sclerosis, 5: 101-104, 1999). In addition, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ("EAE"), a preclinical animal model of MS, was significantly inhibited in mice knocked out of IL-17A.

[0381] In certain aspects, the present disclosure provides a method of modulating IL-17A in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a compound or salt of any one of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) and (IV). In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) inhibits the activity of IL-17A in a subject in need thereof.

[0382] In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat or prevent an inflammatory disease or condition. In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is administered to a subject in need thereof to treat an inflammatory disease or condition, e.g., psoriasis.

[0383] In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat or prevent an inflammatory disease or condition selected from the group consisting of plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, rheumatoid arthritis, palmoplantar psoriasis, spondyloarthritis, and non-infectious uveitis. In certain embodiments, the compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat or prevent psoriasis.

[0384] In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat or prevent conditions including, but not limited to, airway inflammation, ankylosing spondylitis, asthma, RA (including juvenile RA), osteoarthritis, bone erosions, intraperitoneal abscesses and adhesions, IBD, Crohn's disease, allograft rejection, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, certain types of cancer, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, and MS, as well as other inflammatory disorders, conditions, diseases or states, including, but not limited to, erythema, reaction to allergen exposure, Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis, bronchial asthma, allograft rejection (e.g., kidney), systemic lupus erythematosus, and lupus nephritis.

[0385] In certain embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat or prevent conditions including, but not limited to, Behcet's disease, ulcerative colitis, Wegener's granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, systemic sclerosis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, septic shock syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, inflammatory eye disease, and uveitis.

[0386] In some embodiments, a compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) is used to treat a patient suffering from a disease or condition associated with elevated levels of IL-17A, comprising the steps of: a) determining whether the patient has elevated levels of one or more IL-17A-induced chemokines or effectors; and b) if the patient does have elevated levels of one or more IL-17A chemokines or effectors, administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound or salt of Formula (I), (I'), (IA), (IB), (IC), (ID), (II), (III) or (IV) for a period of time sufficient to treat the disease or condition. The IL-17A chemokine or effector can be one or more of IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, TNF-α, IL-1β, PGE2 or IFN-γ.

[0387] Methods for determining the level of IL-17A or any chemokine or effector thereof in a patient are well known in the art. Typically, a tissue or biological fluid sample is obtained from a patient and an ELISA is performed using commercially available antibodies or kits (e.g., Quantikine IL-17A ELISA; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Commercially available antibodies and kits can be used for IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, TNF-α, IL-1β, PGE2, and IFN-γ.
