Description

Cross-reference to related applications

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 580,106, filed September 1, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 661,725, filed June 19, 2024, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0002] This disclosure generally relates to substituted benzoxazolylaminobenzoxazoles, and more specifically to such compounds that can be used to treat hematologic conditions, inflammatory conditions, or conditions of increased oxidative stress. This disclosure relates to compounds and compositions that can be used to treat hematologic conditions, inflammatory conditions, or conditions of increased oxidative stress, as well as methods for treating hematologic conditions, inflammatory conditions, or conditions of increased oxidative stress. Background Technology

[0003] Oxidative stress, characterized by elevated levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), is counteracted by cellular antioxidant responses to maintain homeostasis. If left uncontrolled, abnormal ROS production can lead to damage to cellular components. Excessive and prolonged intracellular oxidative stress is associated with chronic diseases, including but not limited to autoimmune diseases, lung diseases, neuroinflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, hematologic disorders, kidney diseases, liver diseases, metabolic diseases, bone diseases, and cancer. Therefore, therapeutic strategies to restore intracellular homeostatic oxidative states are of great significance.

[0004] The Bach1 / Nrf2 axis is a major regulator of cellular antioxidant responses and a proven clinical therapeutic target for combating diseases driven by oxidative stress (FDA-approved Nrf2 activator Tecfidera for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, and Skyclarys for Friedrich ataxia). Under homeostasis, Bach1 occupies antioxidant response elements (AREs) in the promoters of various genes involved in cellular antioxidant responses, thereby inhibiting their transcription. In response to oxidative stress, Bach1 dissociates from AREs, allowing binding to the transcription factor Nrf2. This drives, but is not limited to, […]. Hmox1 It regulates the expression of antioxidant genes (HO-1 protein) and other genes. Nrf2 activation also regulates various other pathways, such as NF-κB signaling and inflammasomes.

[0005] In numerous epidemiological association studies, genetic models, and animal disease models, the pervasive activation of the Nrf2 pathway and the subsequent... Hmox1Expression / HO-1 protein induction is associated with positive outcomes. In particular, Bach1 knockout mice and Bach1 inhibitors have demonstrated protective effects in various preclinical models, especially in cases of Nrf2 activation via Bach1 inhibition. Bach1 knockout mice have shown efficacy against a variety of diseases, including models of neuroinflammatory, neurological, autoimmune, hepatic, metabolic, cardiovascular, and inflammatory conditions. In many of these models, disease protection is HO-1 dependent, as demonstrated by the use of HO-1 inhibitors. Bach1 inhibitors that inhibit the binding of Bach1 to ARE (e.g., chloromethemoglobin / heme, other porphyrins, and small molecule compounds) have shown similar protective effects in preclinical disease models of hematologic, metabolic, hepatic, ocular, bone degenerative, and autoimmune conditions.

[0006] Given the significant clinical potential of Nrf2 activators and the preclinical potential of Bach1 modulation, the development of novel Nrf2 activators that block / inhibit Bach1 for the treatment of indications in the aforementioned therapeutic areas is crucial. Hmox1 There are untapped opportunities in inducing agents.

[0007] Fetal hemoglobin (HbF, α2γ2) induction is known to improve clinical complications of sickle cell disease (SCD). Several drugs are undergoing clinical trials as HbF inducers, but hydroxyurea remains the only widely used drug therapy for SCD. Autologous transplantation of edited hematopoietic stem cells holds promise for curing SCD through HbF induction or correction of pathogenic mutations, but this therapy has limited accessibility and is not suitable for all patients. Therefore, drug therapies targeting SCD and related conditions remain needed. Summary of the Invention

[0226] In one embodiment, the compound of formula (I) is selected from: Table 1 Pharmaceutical Compositions and Dosage Forms

[0227] Compounds of formula (I) can be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions.

[0228] In another aspect, this disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the benzoxazole derivatives of the present invention or salts thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents. The compounds of the present invention can be formulated by any method known in the art and can be prepared for administration via any route, including but not limited to parenteral, oral, sublingual, transdermal, topical, intranasal, intratracheal, or rectal administration. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are administered intravenously in a hospital setting. In some other embodiments, administration is preferably via an oral route.

[0229] The characteristics of the carrier will depend on the route of administration. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to a non-toxic substance that is compatible with biological systems such as cells, cell cultures, tissues, or organisms and does not interfere with the bioactivity and efficacy of the active ingredient. Therefore, compositions according to the invention may contain, in addition to inhibitors, diluents, fillers, salts, buffers, stabilizers, solubilizers, and other materials known in the art. For example, the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable formulations is described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition, A. Gennaro, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1990.

[0230] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to a salt that retains the desired biological activity of the aforementioned compounds and exhibits little or no adverse toxicological effects. Examples of such salts include, but are not limited to, acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, etc.) and salts formed with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, tannic acid, pamoic acid, alginic acid, polyglutamic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acid, naphthalenedisulfonic acid, and polygalacturonic acid. These compounds may also be administered in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary ammonium salts known to those skilled in the art, specifically including formula -NR. + Z -Quaternary ammonium salts, wherein R is hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, including chloride, bromide, iodide, -O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate or carboxylate (such as benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, citrate, tartrate, ascorbate, benzoate, cinnamate, mandeloate, benzylate and diphenylacetate).

[0231] The active compound is contained in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver a therapeutically effective dose to a patient without causing serious toxicity in the treated patient. For all of the above, the dose of the active compound ranges from about 0.01 to 300 mg / kg, preferably from 0.1 to 100 mg / kg daily, and more typically from 0.5 mg to about 25 mg per kilogram of recipient body weight daily. Typical topical doses in a suitable carrier range from 0.01 to 3% wt / wt. The effective dose range of a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative can be calculated based on the weight of the parent compound to be delivered. If the derivative itself exhibits activity, the effective dose can be estimated using the weight of the derivative, or by other means known to those skilled in the art, as described above.

[0232] Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention may be used in accordance with the methods described herein.

[0233] The pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, tablets, capsules or parenteral preparations, but those skilled in the art will understand that the compound may be provided in a variety of pharmaceutical composition forms.

[0234] For example, the compounds of this disclosure may be administered orally, topically, parenterally, by inhalation or spraying, or rectally in a dosage unit formulation containing one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, or excipients. As used herein, the term “parenterally” includes percutaneous, subcutaneous, intravascular (e.g., intravenous), intramuscular, or intrathecal injection or infusion techniques. Medicinal products containing the compounds of this disclosure may be provided in any suitable formulation and dosage form described herein.

[0235] In the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein, one or more of the disclosed compounds may be associated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents or excipients, and (if desired) other active ingredients. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed compounds may be in forms suitable for oral administration, such as tablets, lozenges, tablets, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.

[0236] Compositions intended for oral use can be prepared according to any suitable pharmaceutical composition manufacturing method, and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from sweeteners, flavoring agents, coloring agents, and preservatives to provide a pharmaceutically refined and palatable product. Tablets contain an active ingredient mixed with non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients suitable for tablet preparation. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate, or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrants such as corn starch or alginic acid; binders such as starch, gelatin, or gum arabic; and lubricants such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc. Tablets may be uncoated or coated using known techniques. In some cases, such coatings can be prepared using appropriate techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby providing a sustained effect over a longer period. For example, time-delaying materials such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be used.

[0237] Oral formulations may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent such as calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an aqueous or oily medium such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.

[0238] Oral preparations may also be available in tablet form.

[0239] Aqueous suspensions contain active substances mixed with excipients suitable for preparing aqueous suspensions. Such excipients can be suspending agents, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, tragacanth gum, and gum arabic; dispersants or wetting agents, such as naturally occurring phospholipids, such as lecithin; or condensation products of alkyl esters and fatty acids, such as polyoxyethylene stearate; or condensation products of ethylene oxide and long-chain fatty alcohols, such as heptadecanethoxycetyl alcohol; or condensation products of ethylene oxide and esters derived from fatty acids and hexitols, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate; or condensation products of ethylene oxide and esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, such as polyvinyl sorbitan monooleate. Aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, such as ethylparaben or n-propylparaben; one or more colorants; one or more flavoring agents; and one or more sweeteners, such as sucrose or saccharin.

[0240] Oily suspensions can be formulated by suspending the active ingredients in vegetable oils such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, or in mineral oils such as liquid paraffin. Oily suspensions may contain thickeners such as beeswax, hard paraffin, or cetyl alcohol. Sweeteners and flavorings may be added to provide palatable oral products. These compositions can be preserved by adding antioxidants such as ascorbic acid.

[0241] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparing aqueous suspensions by adding water provide active ingredients that can be mixed with dispersants or wetting agents, suspending agents, and one or more preservatives. Examples of suitable dispersants or wetting agents or suspending agents are those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, such as sweeteners, flavoring agents, and coloring agents, may also be present.

[0242] The pharmaceutical composition may also be in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion. The oil phase may be a vegetable oil or a mineral oil or a mixture thereof. Suitable emulsifiers may be naturally occurring gums, such as gum arabic or tragacanth, naturally occurring phospholipids, such as soybean lecithin, and esters or metaesters derived from fatty acids and hexitan anhydrides, such as sorbitan monooleate, and the condensation product of said metaesters with ethylene oxide, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion may also contain sweeteners and flavorings.

[0243] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient is not water. In other embodiments, water constitutes less than 50% of the composition. In some embodiments, the composition containing less than 50% water has at least 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5% water. In other embodiments, the water content in the composition is present in trace amounts.

[0244] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or excipient is not an alcohol. In other embodiments, the alcohol constitutes less than 50% of the composition. In some embodiments, the composition containing less than 50% alcohol has at least 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5% alcohol. In other embodiments, the alcohol content in the composition is present in trace amounts.

[0245] Syrups and elixirs can be formulated with sweeteners such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, glucose, or sucrose. Such formulations may also contain modifiers, preservatives, flavoring agents, and coloring agents. Pharmaceutical compositions can be in the form of sterile injectable aqueous or oily suspensions. These suspensions can be formulated using suitable dispersants or wetting agents and suspending agents mentioned above, according to known techniques. Sterile injectable articles can also be sterile injectable solutions or suspensions in non-toxic, parenteral-acceptable diluents or solvents, such as solutions in 1,3-butanediol. Acceptable carriers and solvents that can be used include water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Additionally, sterile, non-volatile oils can be used as solvents or suspension media. For this purpose, any mild, non-volatile oil can be used, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides. Furthermore, fatty acids such as oleic acid can be used in the preparation of injections.

[0246] The compounds disclosed herein can also be administered in suppository form, for example, for rectal administration of a drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the compound with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature, and thus will melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol.

[0247] The compounds disclosed herein can also be administered parenterally in sterile media. Depending on the carrier and concentration used, the drug can be suspended or dissolved in the carrier. Advantageously, adjuvants such as local anesthetics, antiseptics, and buffers can be dissolved in the carrier.

[0248] The composition can be formulated into unit dosage forms of the active ingredient. The term "unit dosage form" refers to a physically discrete unit suitable for use as a single dose in human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined amount of the active substance in combination with suitable pharmaceutical excipients, the amount of which is calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect.

[0249] The compound may be effective over a wide dose range and is usually administered at a pharmaceutically effective amount. However, it should be understood that the actual amount of compound administered will generally be determined by the physician based on relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the compound actually administered, the individual patient's age, weight and response, and the severity of the patient's symptoms.

[0250] To prepare solid compositions such as tablets, a major active ingredient is mixed with pharmaceutical excipients to form a solid preformation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of the compounds described herein. When these preformation compositions are referred to as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically uniformly dispersed throughout the composition, allowing the composition to be readily subdivided into equivalent unit dosage forms, such as tablets, pills, and capsules. This solid preformation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above, containing, for example, from 0.1 mg to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the compounds described herein.

[0251] Tablets or pills can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide dosage forms with the advantage of prolonged action. For example, tablets or pills may contain an internal dose component and an external dose component, the latter being an encapsulation layer on top of the former. These two components can be separated by an enteric coating layer, which resists disintegration in the stomach and allows the internal component to enter the duodenum intact or with delayed release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric coatings or coatings, including various polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with materials such as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

[0252] The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending on the substance applied, the purpose of administration (e.g., prevention or treatment), the patient's condition, and the route of administration. In therapeutic applications, the composition may be administered to a patient already suffering from the disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially stop the symptoms of the disease and its complications. The effective dose will depend on the condition being treated and the judgment of the attending physician based on factors such as the severity of the disease, the patient's age, weight, and general condition.

[0253] The compositions administered to patients may be in the form of the pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions may be sterilized using conventional sterilization techniques or by sterile filtration. Aqueous solutions may be packaged for use as is or lyophilized, with the lyophilized product combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound product is typically 3 to 11, more preferably 5 to 9, and most preferably 7 to 8. It should be understood that the use of certain excipients, carriers, or stabilizers described above may result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

[0254] The therapeutic dose of a compound can vary depending on factors such as the specific intended use of the treatment, the route of administration, the patient's health and condition, and the prescribing physician's judgment. The proportion or concentration of the compound described herein in the pharmaceutical composition can vary depending on a variety of factors, including dosage, chemical properties (e.g., hydrophobicity), and route of administration. For example, the compound described herein may be provided as an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1% to about 10% w / v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dosage ranges are about 1 µg / kg to about 1 g / kg body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dosage range is about 0.01 mg / kg to about 100 mg / kg body weight per day. The dosage may depend on variables such as the type and progression of the disease or condition, the overall health status of the specific patient, the relative biological efficacy of the selected compound, the formulation of excipients, and the route of administration. The effective dose can be deduced from dose-response curves obtained from in vitro or animal model testing systems.

[0255] The compounds described herein may also be formulated or administered in combination with one or more other active ingredients, which may include any pharmaceutical agent, such as antiviral agents, vaccines, antibodies, immune enhancers, immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory agents, etc.

[0256] Those skilled in the art will be able to formulate the compounds described herein into pharmaceutical preparations. For example, based on the physicochemical properties of the compounds, those skilled in the art will recognize the pharmaceutically effective amount of the compound and the desired route of administration.
