[0002] Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to compounds possessing an indole moiety linked to an indazole moiety, to compounds having similar core structures, and to associated salts, solvates, prodrugs and pharmaceutical compositions. The present invention further relates to methods of synthesising such compounds, and to the use of such compounds in the treatment and prevention of medical disorders and diseases, most especially by Factor B inhibition.

[0004] Background of the Invention

[0005] The complement system is a critical part of the innate immune system and serves to help the body fight against infection from pathogens, ultimately leading to inflammation and phagocytic removal of pathogens or foreign particles.

[0006] The complement system is comprised of multiple proteins, including zymogens which undergo proteolytic cleavage to become activated and facilitate the activation of further zymogens in the cascade. The proteins may be zymogens or proteins without potential for enzymatic activity that change conformation revealing binding sites for other components of the system. These successive enzymatic cleavages lead to a large, amplified response and many regulatory components exist in this system to prevent uncontrolled activation.

[0007] The complement system can be activated via three pathways: classical, lectin, and alternative. The classical pathway is triggered by antigen: antibody complexes and connects the innate to the adaptive immune system. The lectin pathway is triggered directly by the pathogen when serum protein mannan-binding lectin, collectins or ficolins bind to bacterial or viral mannose-containing carbohydrates. The alternative pathway (also known as the alternate pathway) is initiated by activation of the central complement component, C3, either through spontaneous hydrolysis or enzymatic cleavage. The alternative pathway also serves as a critical amplification loop of all three pathways of complement activation.

[0008] Ultimately, all of these pathways lead to the generation of C3 convertase which cleaves and activates further C3 molecules to promote: 1) opsonization of pathogens so they can be engulfed by phagocytes that recognise key receptors, 2) the recruitment of inflammatory cells by generating chemoattractants at the site of activation, and 3) formation of the C5 convertase resulting in production of Csa and Csb, the latter of which induces direct killing of pathogens by assembling terminal complement components to create membrane attack complex (MAC) pores in the membrane of bacteria or other target cells (Janeway, C. A. Jr. et al, (2001) The complement system and innate immunity, in Immunobiology: The Immune System in Health and Disease, Garland Science, New York).

[0009] Factor B, a trypsin-like serine protease, is an element of the alternative pathway of the complement cascade. It exists in circulation in its zymogen form until the pathway becomes activated (Schubart, A. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2019, 116, 7926- 7931)-

[0010] Spontaneous steady-state hydrolysis of C3 leads to the formation of C3(H20). Factor B can bind to the active forms of C3: C3(H20) and C3b, generating the proenzyme CsbB (or C3(H2O)B), a target for activation by Factor D. Upon cleavage by Factor D, two fragments are generated: Ba and Bb (Schwaeble, W. J., Ali, Y. M., and Sim, R. B., (2020) Chapter 14 - The Roles and Contributions of the Complement System in the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases, in The Autoimmune Diseases (Sixth Edition) (Rose, N. R., and Mackay, I. R. eds.), Academic Press). Ba is released and Bb, containing a serine protease domain, remains bound to C3(H20) and C3b, forming the alternative pathway C3 convertases [C3(H2O)Bb and CsbBb]. These trigger the amplification loop by converting C3 to C3a and more C3b. With the addition of yet another C3b to the C3 convertase, the C5 convertase is generated (CsbBbCsb) (Laskowski, J., Thurman, J. M. (2018) Chapter 14 - Factor B, in The Complement FactsBook (Second Edition) (Barnum, S., and Schein, T. eds.), Academic Press). C5 convertase cleaves C5 to generate the anaphylatoxin Csa, and Csb which serves as a platform for the formation of the membrane attack complex. Dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway due to genetics or the presence of autoantibodies can lead to many different diseases. Inhibition of Factor B is therefore a key therapeutic target for modulation of the alternative pathway and hence the treatment of numerous diseases, disorders and conditions. Iptacopan (LNP023), disclosed in Mainolfi et al., J. Med. Chem., 2020, vol. 63, pp. 5697-5722, is a known Factor B inhibitor having the following structure:

[0011]

[0012] Iptacopan is highly selective for Factor B, showing no inhibition of Factor D or the classical or lectin complement pathways. Also, no significant effects have been observed in a broad assay panel of receptors, ion channels, kinases, and proteases (Schubart, A. et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2019, 116, 7926-7931). The drug has recently undergone successful phase III clinical studies in patients suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) (Novartis Press Release, “Novartis Phase III APPOINT-PNH trial shows investigational oral monotherapy iptacopan improves hemoglobin to near-normal levels, leading to transfusion independence in all treatment-naive PNH patients”, 26 April 2023).

[0013] Further indole derivatives stated to have Factor B inhibitory activity are disclosed in WO 2013 / 164802 Al, US 2013 / 0296377 Al, WO 2014 / 143638 Al, WO 2015 / 009616 Al, WO 2022 / 028507 Al, WO 2022 / 028527 Al, WO 2022 / 143940 Al, WO

[0014] 2022 / 143845 Al, WO 2022 / 155294 Al, WO 2022 / 218429 Al, WO 2022 / 256586 A2, WO 2023 / 278698 Al, WO 2023 / 020566 Al, WO 2023 / 072197 Al, WO 2023 / 139534 Al, WO 2023 / 187715 Al and WO 2024 / 049977 Al. However, there is a need to provide further Factor B inhibitors, especially selective Factor B inhibitors (e.g. versus inhibition of Factor D, classical complement, and / or lectin complement activation). In particular, there is a need to provide compounds with improved pharmacological and / or physiological and / or physicochemical properties and / or those that provide a useful alternative to known compounds.

In the context of the present specification, a “hydrocarbyl” substituent group or a hydrocarbyl moiety in a substituent group only includes carbon and hydrogen atoms but, unless stated otherwise, does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. A hydrocarbyl group / moiety may be saturated or unsaturated (including aromatic), and may be straight-chained or branched, or be or include cyclic groups wherein, unless stated otherwise, the cyclic group does not include any heteroatoms, such as N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. Examples of hydrocarbyl groups include alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl and aryl groups / moieties and combinations of all of these groups / moieties. Typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C20hydrocarbyl group. More typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C15 hydrocarbyl group. More typically a hydrocarbyl group is a C1-C10 hydrocarbyl group. A “hydrocarbylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent hydrocarbyl group. An “alkyl” substituent group or an alkyl moiety in a substituent group may be linear (i.e. straight-chained) or branched. Examples of alkyl groups / moieties include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl and n-pentyl groups / moieties. Unless stated otherwise, the term “alkyl” does not include “cycloalkyl”. Typically an alkyl group is a C1-C12 alkyl group. More typically an alkyl group is a C1-C6 alkyl group. An “alkylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent alkyl group. An “alkenyl” substituent group or an alkenyl moiety in a substituent group refers to an unsaturated alkyl group or moiety having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Examples of alkenyl groups / moieties include ethenyl, propenyl, 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 1- pentenyl, 1-hexenyl, 1,3-butadienyl, 1,3-pentadienyl, 1,4-pentadienyl and 1,4- hexadienyl groups / moieties. Unless stated otherwise, the term “alkenyl” does not include “cycloalkenyl”. Typically an alkenyl group is a C2-C12 alkenyl group. More typically an alkenyl group is a C2-C6 alkenyl group. An “alkenylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent alkenyl group. An “alkynyl” substituent group or an alkynyl moiety in a substituent group refers to an unsaturated alkyl group or moiety having one or more carbon-carbon triple bonds. Examples of alkynyl groups / moieties include ethynyl, propargyl, but-1-ynyl and but-2- ynyl groups / moieties. Typically an alkynyl group is a C2-C12alkynyl group. More typically an alkynyl group is a C2-C6 alkynyl group. An “alkynylene” group is similarly defined as a divalent alkynyl group. A “cyclic” substituent group or a cyclic moiety in a substituent group refers to any hydrocarbyl ring, wherein the hydrocarbyl ring may be saturated or unsaturated (including aromatic) and may include one or more heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, in its carbon skeleton. Examples of cyclic groups include cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocyclic, aryl and heteroaryl groups as discussed below. A cyclic group may be monocyclic, bicyclic (e.g. bridged, fused or spiro), or polycyclic. Typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 12-membered cyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 12 ring atoms. More typically, a cyclic group is a 3- to 7-membered monocyclic group, which means it contains from 3 to 7 ring atoms. For the avoidance of doubt, where it is stated that a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is “saturated” it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are saturated. A “heterocyclic” substituent group or a heterocyclic moiety in a substituent group refers to a cyclic group or moiety including one or more carbon atoms and one or more (such as one, two, three or four) heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, in the ring structure. Examples of heterocyclic groups include heteroaryl groups as discussed below and non-aromatic heterocyclic groups such as azetinyl, azetidinyl, oxetanyl, thietanyl, pyrrolidinyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, tetrahydrothiophenyl, pyrazolidinyl, imidazolidinyl, dioxolanyl, oxathiolanyl, piperidinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, thianyl, piperazinyl, dioxanyl, morpholinyl and thiomorpholinyl groups. A “cycloalkyl” substituent group or a cycloalkyl moiety in a substituent group refers to a saturated hydrocarbyl ring containing, for example, from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, examples of which include cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl. Unless stated otherwise, a cycloalkyl substituent group or moiety may include monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbyl rings. A “cycloalkenyl” substituent group or a cycloalkenyl moiety in a substituent group refers to a non-aromatic unsaturated hydrocarbyl ring having one or more carbon- carbon double bonds and containing, for example, from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, examples of which include cyclopent-1-en-1-yl, cyclohex-1-en-1-yl and cyclohex-1,3-dien-1-yl. Unless stated otherwise, a cycloalkenyl substituent group or moiety may include monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic hydrocarbyl rings. An “aryl” substituent group or an aryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic hydrocarbyl ring. The term “aryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic fused ring aromatic hydrocarbons wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Examples of aryl groups / moieties include phenyl, naphthyl, anthracenyl and phenanthrenyl. Unless stated otherwise, the term “aryl” does not include “heteroaryl”. A “heteroaryl” substituent group or a heteroaryl moiety in a substituent group refers to an aromatic heterocyclic group or moiety. The term “heteroaryl” refers to monocyclic aromatic heterocycles and polycyclic fused ring aromatic heterocycles wherein all of the fused ring systems (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Examples of heteroaryl groups / moieties include the following: wherein G = O, S or NH. Particular examples of 5- or 6-membered heteroaryl groups include furanyl, thiophenyl, pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, furazanyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, tetrazolyl, pyridinyl, pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl and triazinyl groups. Unless stated otherwise, where a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is stated to be aromatic, such as an aryl or a heteroaryl group, it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are aromatic. Similarly, where a bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety is stated to be non-aromatic, such as a cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl or non-aromatic heterocyclic group, it is to be understood that all of the ring systems within the bicyclic or polycyclic group or moiety (excluding any ring systems which are part of or formed by optional substituents) are non-aromatic. For the purposes of the present specification, where a combination of moieties is referred to as one group, for example, arylalkyl, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, alkylaryl, alkenylaryl or alkynylaryl, the last mentioned moiety contains the atom by which the group is attached to the rest of the molecule. An example of an arylalkyl group is benzyl. As will be appreciated, in an optionally substituted moiety: - each hydrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified monovalent substituent; - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon or nitrogen atom may optionally be replaced by any specified π-bonded substituent; - any sulphur atom may optionally be substituted with one or two of any specified π-bonded substituents; and - any two hydrogen atoms attached to the same or different atoms, within the same optionally substituted group or moiety, may optionally be replaced by any specified divalent bridging substituent. Typically a substituted group comprises 1, 2, 3 or 4 substituents, more typically 1, 2 or 3 substituents, more typically 1 or 2 substituents, and more typically 1 substituent. Unless stated otherwise, any divalent bridging substituent (e.g. -O-, -S-, -NH-, -CH2-, -CH2-CH2-, etc.) of an optionally substituted group or moiety (e.g. R1) must only be attached to the specified group or moiety and may not be attached to a second group or moiety (e.g. R2), even if the second group or moiety can itself be optionally substituted. The term “halo” includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Unless stated otherwise, where a group is prefixed by the term “halo”, such as a haloalkyl or halomethyl group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the corresponding group without the halo prefix. For example, a halomethyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A haloethyl or halophenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group is prefixed by a specific halo group, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more of the specific halo groups. For example, the term “fluoromethyl” refers to a methyl group substituted with one, two or three fluoro groups. Similarly, unless stated otherwise, where a group is said to be “halo-substituted”, it is to be understood that the group in question is substituted with one or more halo groups independently selected from fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. Typically, the maximum number of halo substituents is limited only by the number of hydrogen atoms available for substitution on the group said to be halo-substituted. For example, a halo- substituted methyl group may contain one, two or three halo substituents. A halo- substituted ethyl or halo-substituted phenyl group may contain one, two, three, four or five halo substituents. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to an element is to be considered a reference to all isotopes of that element. Thus, for example, unless stated otherwise any reference to hydrogen is considered to encompass all isotopes of hydrogen including deuterium and tritium. Unless stated otherwise, any reference to a compound or group is to be considered a reference to all tautomers of that compound or group. Where reference is made to a hydrocarbyl or other group including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in its carbon skeleton, or where reference is made to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbyl or other group being replaced by an N, O or S atom, what is intended is that: replaced by ; CH.N... is replaced by;–CH2– is replaced by –NH–, –O– or –S–; –CH3 is replaced by –NH2, –OH or –SH; –CH= is replaced by –N=; CH2= is replaced by NH=, O= or S=; or CH≡ is replaced by N≡; provided that the resultant group comprises at least one carbon atom. For example, methoxy, dimethylamino and aminoethyl groups are considered to be hydrocarbyl groups including one or more heteroatoms N, O or S in their carbon skeleton. Typically, the compounds of the invention contain no more than one quaternary ammonium group. More typically, the compounds of the invention contain no quaternary ammonium groups. In the context of the present specification, unless otherwise stated, a Cx-Cy group is defined as a group containing from x to y carbon atoms. For example, a C1-C4alkyl group is defined as an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. For the purposes of allocating x and y in a Cx-Cy group, optional substituents are not taken into account when calculating the total number of carbon atoms in the parent group substituted with the optional substituents. For the avoidance of doubt, replacement heteroatoms, e.g. N, O or S, are not to be counted as carbon atoms when calculating the number of carbon atoms in a Cx-Cy group. For example, a morpholinyl group is to be considered a C4 heterocyclic group, not a C6 heterocyclic group. For the purposes of the present specification, where it is stated that a first atom or group is “directly attached” to a second atom or group it is to be understood that the first atom or group is covalently bonded to the second atom or group with no intervening atom(s) or group(s) being present. So, for example, for the group -(C=O)N(CH3)2, the carbon atom of each methyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom and the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is directly attached to the nitrogen atom, but the carbon atom of the carbonyl group is not directly attached to the carbon atom of either methyl group.

Prodrugs are compounds which, when administered to a subject such as a human, are converted in whole or in part to a compound of the invention. In most embodiments, the prodrugs are pharmacologically inert chemical derivatives that can be converted in vivo to the active drug molecules to exert a therapeutic effect. Any of the compounds described herein can be administered as a prodrug to increase the activity, bioavailability, or stability of the compound or to otherwise alter the properties of the compound. Typical examples of prodrugs include compounds that have biologically labile protecting groups on a functional moiety of the active compound.

[0030] Prodrugs include, but are not limited to, compounds that can be oxidized, reduced, aminated, deaminated, hydroxylated, dehydroxylated, hydrolyzed, dehydrolyzed, alkylated, dealkylated, acylated, deacylated, phosphorylated, and / or dephosphorylated to produce the active compound.

Typically, the use comprises the administration of the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or pharmaceutical composition to a subject.

[0040] The term “treatment” as used herein refers equally to curative therapy, and ameliorating or palliative therapy. The term includes obtaining beneficial or desired physiological results, which may or may not be established clinically. Beneficial or desired clinical results include, but are not limited to, the alleviation of symptoms, the prevention of symptoms, the diminishment of extent of disease, the stabilisation (i.e., not worsening) of a condition, the delay or slowing of progression / worsening of a condition / symptom, the amelioration or palliation of a condition / symptom, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. The term “palliation”, and variations thereof, as used herein, means that the extent and / or undesirable manifestations of a physiological condition or symptom are lessened and / or time course of the progression is slowed or lengthened, as compared to not administering a compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. The term “prevention” as used herein in relation to a disease, disorder or condition, relates to prophylactic or preventative therapy, as well as therapy to reduce the risk of developing the disease, disorder or condition. The term “prevention” includes both the avoidance of occurrence of the disease, disorder or condition, and the delay in onset of the disease, disorder or condition. Any statistically significant (p < 0.05) avoidance of occurrence, delay in onset or reduction in risk as measured by a controlled clinical trial may be deemed a prevention of the disease, disorder or condition. Subjects amenable to prevention include those at heightened risk of a disease, disorder or condition as identified by genetic or biochemical markers. Typically, the genetic or biochemical markers are appropriate to the disease, disorder or condition under consideration and may include for example, inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-i) in the case of inflammation, as well as biomarkers associated with the complement system, such as C5a, terminal complement complex, Factor B, fragments Ba and Bb, Complement C3 fragments C3a and C3b, and downstream degradation products iCsb, C3C and C3d(g).

[0041] A seventh aspect of the invention provides the use of a compound of the first, second or third aspect, or a pharmaceutically effective salt, solvate or prodrug of the fourth aspect, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of a disease, disorder or condition. Typically, the treatment or prevention comprises the administration of the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or medicament to a subject.

[0042] An eighth aspect of the invention provides a method of treatment or prevention of a disease, disorder or condition, the method comprising the step of administering an effective amount of a compound of the first, second or third aspect, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug of the fourth aspect, or a pharmaceutical composition of the fifth aspect, to thereby treat or prevent the disease, disorder or condition. Typically, the administration is to a subject in need thereof.

[0043] Dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway due to genetics or the presence of autoantibodies can lead to many different diseases. Common polymorphisms in complement proteins or rare mutations can cause dysfunction or dysregulation of the complement system due to over-activation or under-regulation. Autoantibodies can bind to self-cells and drive the complement system such that the capacity of the natural regulators to protect is overwhelmed. In some cases, the cells’ natural defence mechanism, such as shedding of active complexes, can cause symptoms due to loss of critical molecules from the cell surface, such as the acetylcholine receptor. In many diseases, however, the complement system is not the primary trigger of disease but acts secondarily to other disease-causing triggers to set up a vicious cycle of inflammation that is propagated by the complement system. In these diseases, inhibition of the complement system can bring about a treatment effect.

[0044] In some instances, gain of function Complement C3 and / or Factor B mutations, and / or the loss of function in the regulatory proteins eventuate in uncontrolled C3 activation (Garred, P., Tenner, A. J., and Mollnes, T. E. Pharmacol. Rev. 2021, 73, 792-827). In some cases, common polymorphisms or rare mutations can lead to distinctive phenotypes due to specific impact on function, such as the ability to bind membranes.

[0045] Some genetic changes result in proteins with altered ability to bind to certain structures (such as glycosaminoglycans or disease-associated epitopes), resulting in tissue-specific diseases. The domain in which the mutation or polymorphism resides can impact disease phenotype.

[0046] Accordingly, a ninth aspect of the invention provides a compound of the first, second or third aspect of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug of the fourth aspect of the invention, or a pharmaceutical composition of the fifth aspect of the invention, for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease, disorder or condition in an individual, wherein the individual has a germline or somatic mutation in Complement C3 or Factor B, or a germline or somatic mutation in a regulator of the alternate pathway, or a germline or somatic mutation in an enzyme that directly or indirectly causes the production or activation of Factor B. The mutation maybe, for example, a gain-of-function or other mutation of Factor B resulting in increased Factor

[0047] B or C3 / C5 convertase activity. Alternately, the mutation maybe a gain-of-function or other mutation of Complement C3 resulting in increased Factor B or C3 / C5 convertase activity. Similarly, the mutation may be a loss of function in a negative regulator (such as Factor H) resulting in increased alternate pathway activity, a gain of function in a positive regulator (such as properdin) resulting in increased alternate pathway activity, or a gain of function in an enzyme that causes the production or activation of Factor B.

[0048] Such mutations are discussed in Rodriguez de Cordoba, Immunological Reviews, 2023, 313, 71-90, and Kouser et al., Front. Immunol., 2013, 4(93), 1-12. Typically, the use comprises the administration of the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or pharmaceutical composition to the individual. The use may also comprise the diagnosis of an individual having a germline or somatic mutation in (i) Complement C3, (ii)

[0049] Factor B, (iii) a regulator of the alternate pathway, or (iv) an enzyme that directly or indirectly causes the production or activation of Factor B, wherein the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or pharmaceutical composition is administered to an individual on the basis of a positive diagnosis for the mutation. Typically, identification of the mutation in Complement C3, Factor B, the regulator or the enzyme in the individual may be by any suitable genetic or biochemical means.

[0050] A tenth aspect of the invention provides the use of a compound of the first, second or third aspect of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug of the fourth aspect of the invention, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of a disease, disorder or condition in an individual, wherein the individual has a germline or somatic mutation in Complement C3 or Factor B, or a germline or somatic mutation in a regulator of the alternate pathway, or a germline or somatic mutation in an enzyme that directly or indirectly causes the production or activation of Factor B. The mutation may be, for example, a gain-of-function or other mutation of Factor B resulting in increased Factor B or C3 / C5 convertase activity. Alternately, the mutation may be a gain-of-function or other mutation of Complement C3 resulting in increased Factor B or C3 / C5 convertase activity. Similarly, the mutation maybe a loss of function in a negative regulator (such as Factor H) resulting in increased alternate pathway activity, a gain of function in a positive regulator (such as properdin) resulting in increased alternate pathway activity, or a gain of function in an enzyme that causes the production or activation of Factor B. Typically, the treatment or prevention comprises the administration of the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or medicament to the individual. The treatment or prevention may also comprise the diagnosis of an individual having a germline or somatic mutation in (i) Complement

[0051] C3, (ii) Factor B, (iii) a regulator of the alternate pathway, or (iv) an enzyme that directly or indirectly causes the production or activation of Factor B, wherein the compound, salt, solvate, prodrug or medicament is administered to an individual on the basis of a positive diagnosis for the mutation. Typically, identification of the mutation in Complement C3, Factor B, the regulator or the enzyme in the individual may be by any suitable genetic or biochemical means.

[0052] An eleventh aspect of the invention provides a method of treatment or prevention of a disease, disorder or condition, the method comprising the steps of diagnosing of an individual having a germline or somatic mutation in (i) Complement C3, (ii) Factor B, (iii) a regulator of the alternate pathway, or (iv) an enzyme that directly or indirectly causes the production or activation of Factor B, and administering an effective amount of a compound of the first, second or third aspect of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate or prodrug of the fourth aspect of the invention, or a pharmaceutical composition of the fifth aspect of the invention, to the positively diagnosed individual, to thereby treat or prevent the disease, disorder or condition. Typically, the administration is to a subject in need thereof.
