ECTONUCLEOTIDE PYROPHOSPHATASE / PHOSPHODIESTERASE 1 (ENPP1) INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HYPOPHOSPHATASIA CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The present application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 493,684, filed March 31, 2023, and 63 / 495,994, filed April 13, 2023, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. FIELD
[0002] Provided herein are methods for treating hypophosphatasia (HPP), comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1). BACKGROUND
[0003] Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the ALPL gene, which encodes the tissue-nonspecific isozyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Low TNSALP activity leads to the extracellular accumulation of phosphoethanolamine (PEA), inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), and pyridoxal 5 phosphate (PLP) in blood or urine. PPi, an inhibitor of bone mineralization, is one of the key substrates involved in the pathogenesis of HPP. In HPP, excess PPi contributes to defective mineralization of bones (rickets or osteomalacia), premature loss of deciduous teeth, chronic bone and muscle pain, recurrent fractures, respiratory and muscle dysfunction and periodontal defects. Symptoms range from lethal or severe in the perinatal or infantile-onset forms of HPP, to modest or mild in the childhood and adult-onset forms.
[0004] The incidence of severe HPP ranges from about 1:100,000 to 1:300,000 live births. In certain populations the incidence is higher, such as in the Canadian Mennonites in whom the incidence is as high as about 1 in 2,500 births.
[0005] Hypophosphatasia presents a significant burden to affected individuals and their families. Therefore, identification of compounds, compositions, and methods that can be used to treat or prevent hypophosphatasia would fill an important unmet need. SUMMARY
[0006] Disclosed herein are methods of using an ENPP1 inhibitor for treating or preventing a soft bone disease. In some embodiments, the soft bone disease is hypophosphatasia. Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is an ectoenzyme which hydrolyzes ATP into PPi and AMP in the extracellular space. PPi functions as a potent inhibitor of hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystalgrowth, which is the inorganic mineral component of calcium phosphate and critical for bone mineralization. As ENPP1 is the primary source of PPi, inhibition of this enzyme represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of HPP. Normalizing extracellular PPi levels by targeting ENPP1 could provide significant relief from the severe symptoms of this debilitating disease. Targeted therapeutics that inhibit ENPP1 activity or neutralize PPi could lead to effective interventions for HPP.

[0047] As used herein, “HPP” refers to hypophosphatasia.Methods of Treatment
[0048] Provided herein are methods of treating or preventing a soft bone disease, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) inhibitor to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, provided are methods of treating or preventing hypophosphatasia, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) inhibitor to a subject in need thereof.
[0049] Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited metabolic disease, characterized by low activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Low activity of TNAP leads to systematic accumulation of its substrates, namely inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a strong inhibitor of mineralization, and pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP), a cofactor for several enzymes, which largely explain the musculoskeletal and systemic features of the disease. HPP is characterized by a wide spectrum of manifestations and severity, ranging from death in utero to dental complications only in children and adults, or asymptomatic carriers of ALPL mutations.

[0137] Compounds provided herein are usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions. Thus, provided herein are also pharmaceutical compositions that contain one or more of the compounds described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, or deuterated analog thereof and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles selected from carriers, adjuvants and excipients. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles may include, for example, inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, including sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers and adjuvants. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art. See, e.g., Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mace Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa.17th Ed. (1985); and Modern Pharmaceutics, Marcel Dekker, Inc.3rd Ed. (G.S. Banker & C.T. Rhodes, Eds.).
[0138] The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered by various methods including, for example, rectal, buccal, intranasal and transdermal routes. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be administered by intra-arterial injection, intravenously, intraperitoneally, parenterally, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, orally, topically, or as an inhalant.
[0139] One mode for administration is parenteral, for example, by injection. The forms in which the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be incorporated for administration by injection include, for example, aqueous or oil suspensions, or emulsions, with sesame oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs, mannitol, dextrose, or a sterile aqueous solution, and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.
[0140] Oral administration may be another route for administration of the compounds described herein. Administration may be via, for example, capsule or enteric coated tablets. In making the pharmaceutical compositions that include at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, or deuterated analog thereof, the active ingredient is usually diluted by an excipient and / or enclosed within such a carrier that can be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be in the form of a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.
[0141] Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, sterile water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl and propylhydroxybenzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents.
[0142] The compositions that include at least one compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, or deuterated analog thereof can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the subject by employing procedures known in the art. Controlled release drug delivery systems for oral administration include osmotic pump systems and dissolutional systems containing polymer-coated reservoirs or drug-polymer matrix formulations. Examples of controlled release systemsare given in U.S. Patent Nos.3,845,770; 4,326,525; 4,902,514; and 5,616,345. Another formulation for use in the methods disclosed herein employ transdermal delivery devices (“patches”). Such transdermal patches may be used to provide continuous or discontinuous infusion of the compounds described herein in controlled amounts. The construction and use of transdermal patches for the delivery of pharmaceutical agents is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent Nos.5,023,252, 4,992,445 and 5,001,139. Such patches may be constructed for continuous, pulsatile, or on demand delivery of pharmaceutical agents.
[0143] For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient may be mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, tautomer, stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, or deuterated analog thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient may be dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
[0144] The tablets or pills of the compounds described herein may be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action, or to protect from the acid conditions of the stomach. For example, the tablet or pill can include an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer that serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.
[0145] Compositions for inhalation or insufflation may include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described herein. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. In other embodiments, compositions in pharmaceutically acceptable solvents may be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be inhaled directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device may be attached to a facemask tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions may be administered, preferably orally or nasally, from devices that deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner. Dosing

Biological Assays The following examples describe biological assays for testing ENPP1 inhibitors of the present disclosure. Example 1: ENPP1 Inhibition assay using an ATP substrate
[0153] The ability of compounds of the present disclosure to inhibit ENPP1 was tested in a biochemical ENPP1 inhibition assay with ATP as the substrate. Test compound stock solutions were prepared in DMSO and then serially diluted into 10 concentrations by 3-fold dilution in a 384-well plate (ProxiPlate-384 Plus; PE# 6008280), using a TECAN EVO200 liquid handler.30 nL of stock was transferred into a 384-well plate using an Echo550 dispenser. DMSO was used as vehicle control. A 5 µL solution containing 120 pM ENPP1 enzyme (R&D# 6136-EN-10), 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM TCEP pH 7.0, 50 mM Tris HCl and 0.005% Tween-80 was added to assay plate and incubated for 30 min at RT. A 5 µL mix containing 300 nM ATP (Promega#V915B) and 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM TCEP pH7.0, 50 mM Tris HCl and 0.005% Tween80 were added to all wells. The final concentrations of ENPP1 enzyme and ATP were 60 pM and 300 nM, respectively, in a total volume of 10 µL. The plate was incubated for 90 min at RT. The reaction was stopped by adding 5 µL of stop solution containing 20 mM EDTA and 50 mM Tris- HCl, 0.1% Prionex, 6 nM AMP / GMP HiLyte647 Tracer (BellBrook Labs# 3020-10K) and 6 nM AMP / GMP antibody-Tb to all wells, and the plate was incubated for another 120 minutes. The generated signal was measured using an Envision instrument. Remaining activity (%) was calculated using the read conversion ratio (CR) following the equation: Remaining activity (%) =100 x (CRsample-CRLC) / (CRHC-CRLC)
[0154] IC50values were calculated using XLFit (equation 201) by floating both bottom and top.
[0155] Certain compounds disclosed in Table 1 were tested in the above assay and exhibited an IC50of less than 3 µM. IC50for certain compounds are shown in Table A, where the data is presented in ranges, in which “+++” < 100 nM, 100 nM ≤ “++” < 3000 nM, and “+” ≥ 3000 nM. Table AExample 2: Mineralization assay
[0156] The ability of compounds of the present disclosure to modulate mineralization of human bone- related cells was examined. Saos-2 cells (ATCC CAT# HTB-85) were plated in 24 well plate at a seeding density of 3.5 × 105cells / well and allowed to grow to 100% confluency over the following 1-2 days. Once cells were completely confluent, the media was replaced with fresh media supplemented with 1x Ascorbic Acid (Sigma # A4544, “AA”), 1x β-Glycerophosphate (Sigma # G9422, “BGP”) and varying concentrations of ENPP1 inhibitor. The day of addition of the mineralization components was considered to be Day 1. On Day 3, the media was gently aspirated with no wash followed by the addition of fresh media, mineralization components, and ENPP1 inhibitor at concentrations of 1 and 10 µM. On day 5, the media was gently aspirated and the cells were washed twice with PBS. The cells were then fixed with ice cold 70% ethanol for 1 hour at 4 °C. Cells were washed once with PBS and stained with Alizarin Red for 30 minutes at room temperature with gentle rotation. Stained cells were washed three times with water for 10 minutes at room temperature with gentle rotation. After imaging the cells, dye extraction reagent was added to each well and the cells incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Alizarin Red was quantified by measuring the absorbance at a wavelength of 405 nm using an Envision instrument.
[0157] As shown in FIG.1, compounds of the present disclosure have the ability to modulate mineralization. “AA+BGP” represents 1x Ascorbic Acid+1x β-Glycerophosphate. Compounds 131 and 134 showed high mineralization level in 1 µM than in 10 µM, respectively. Compounds 135 and 76 showed similar mineralization level in both 1 µM and 10 µM. Example 3: Impact of compounds on PPi levels in WT animals
[0158] The effect of an exemplary compound of the present disclosure on PPi levels in wild-type animals was examined. Compound 76 was orally dosed to 6-8-week old female SD rats (n=3) at 100mg / kg, in a single dose, and to 6-8-week old C57BL / 6J mice (n=6) at 100mg / kg, BID for 5 days. Plasma samples were taken at pre-dose and 1, 4 and 8 hours post-dose from rats, and at 1 and 8 hours post-last dose from mice in heparin SST tubes and spun down (7000 rpm x 10 min) immediately. For PPi analysis, the platelet removal step was performed by spinning down the plasma with a Spin-X column (0.22 μM, Costar 8160) immediately (7000 rpm x 2 min) and the eluted plasma was aliquoted / frozen down on dry ice immediately. Prior to PPi analysis, plasma samples were de-proteinated with a 10 kD cutoff column (Amicon #UFC501024) (4 ℃). PPi from filtered plasma was first converted to ATP by ATP sulfurylase (R&D# 7175-AS-020) in the presence of adenosine phosphosulfate (APS; Sigma# A5508). Reactions were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes at 90°C to deactivate ATP sulfurylase. The resulting ATP was then quantified with Bactiter Glo detection reagent (Promega G8230; Madison, WI, USA). To account for endogenous ATP present in the plasma, a blank reaction was run for each sample with heat-inactivated ATP sulfurylase. The luminescent signals from this reaction were subtracted from the total luminescent signals to calculate the plasma PPi levels.
[0159] Compound 76 is able to reduce the PPi levels in rats in a time-dependent manner after a single dose (1, 4 and 8 hours afterwards), as shown in FIG.2, as well as in mice 1 and 8 hours after the last dose of a continuous dosing for 5 days, as shown in FIG.3. Example 4: Mineralization assay in TNAP KO MC3T3-E1-C4 cells
[0160] Compounds of the present disclosure are tested in a mineralization assay in TNAP knockout MC3T3-E1-C4 cells. The osteoblastic cell line (MC3T3-E1), established from C57BL / 6 mouse calvaria (skull), has the ability to synthesize extracellular matrix (collagen) and differentiate into osteoblasts and osteocytes in vitro. To induce mineralization, cells are grown for five days in αMEM containing 50 μg / ml ascorbate followed by supplementation with 2.5 mM NaPO4or 5 mM β-glycerophosphate as described previously (Liu et al.2014, Bone.67: 81–94). After 5 days, the media is gently aspirated with no wash followed by the addition of fresh media, mineralization components, and ENPP1 inhibitors in different concentrations. After 7 days, the media is gently aspirated, and the cells are washed twice with PBS. The cells are then fixed with ice cold 70% ethanol for 1 hour at 4 °C. Cells are washed once with PBS andstained with Alizarin Red for 30 minutes at room temperature with gentle rotation. Stained cells are washed three times with water for 10 minutes at room temperature with gentle rotation. After imaging the cells, dye extraction reagent is added to each well and the cells incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. Alizarin Red is quantified by measuring the absorbance at a wavelength of 405 nm using an Envision instrument. Example 5: ENPP1 assay in TNAP KO MC3T3-E1-C4
[0161] Cells are treated with varying concentrations of an ENPP1 inhibitor of the present disclosure and incubated for 5 days. After 5 days the monolayer of cells is rinsed with cold PBS twice and 150ul of lysis buffer is added to each well. The cells are lysed using freeze-thaw method and centrifuged at 13.3 rpm for 10 min at 4°C and supernatant is collected. Samples are incubated with assay buffer (100mM Tris (pH9.0), 500mM NaCl, 5mM MgCl2, 0.05% Triton X-100). To each well, 2mM pNP-TMP (Sigma# T4510) is added as substrate. The production of p-nitrophenol is analyzed kinetically by measuring the absorbance at 405 nm using a Molecular Devices (San Jose, CA, USA) SpectraMax M2 plate reader. The activity is calculated as the change in absorbance over time (mOD / min). Example 6: Effect of compounds on survival of Akp- / - mice
[0162] Akp- / - mice (n = 17-20) are treated with an ENPP1 inhibitor of the present disclosure orally with QD dosing or vehicle starting no later than 2 days after birth and continuing up to at least 25 days of age. Body weights are measured daily and survival is analyzed at the end of the study. PPi concentrations in the plasma are measured at different time points (e.g., 0, 12, 24, 48 and 96 hours) after the last dose. Bone abnormalities are assessed by X-ray 24 hours after the last dose on study day. Example 7: Effect of compounds on Akp2+ / −mice
[0163] Akp2+ / −mice (n = 15) are treated with an ENPP1 inhibitor of the present disclosure orally with QD daily for at least 25 days. Body weights are analyzed daily. PPi concentrations in the plasma are measured at different time points (0, 12, 24, 48 and 96 hours) after the last dose. Bone abnormalities are assessed by X-ray 24 hours after the last dose on study day.
