[0010] The present invention is not limited to the specific process, composition, or methodology described herein, as variations may occur. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific versions or embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. All publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Nothing herein should be construed as an admission that the present invention is not entitled to antedate such disclosure by prior invention.

[0011] definition When a range of values ​​is listed, each intervening value between the upper and lower limits of that range, as well as other stated or intervening values ​​within the stated range, are intended to be encompassed within the disclosure. For example, if a range of 1 μm to 8 μm is listed, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, 5 μm, 6 μm, and 7 μm are also intended to be expressly disclosed.

[0012] At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds of the present disclosure are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that embodiments of the present disclosure include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges. For example, the term "C 1-6"Alkyl" is specifically intended to individually disclose, for example, C1-C2 alkyl, C1-C3 alkyl, C1-C4+ alkyl, C2-C3 alkyl, C2-C4 alkyl, C3-C6 alkyl, C4-C5 alkyl, and C5-C6 alkyl, as well as, for example, methyl (C1 alkyl), ethyl (C2 alkyl), propyl (C3 alkyl), butyl (C4 alkyl), pentyl (C5 alkyl), and hexyl (C6 alkyl).

[0063] "Tissue" refers to an association of similarly specialized cells that are united to perform a particular function.

[0064] As used herein, the terms "treat," "treated," or "treating" refer to both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative measures, the purpose of which is to protect against or delay (e.g., attenuate or postpone onset) an undesirable physiological condition, disorder, or disease (partially or fully), or to obtain a beneficial or desired clinical result, such as partial or total restoration or inhibition of decline of a parameter, value, function, or outcome that was or becomes abnormal. For purposes of this disclosure, beneficial or desired clinical results include alleviation of symptoms; reduction in the extent or momentum or rate of onset of a condition, disorder or disease; stabilization of the condition (i.e., not worsening), stabilization of the condition, disorder or disease state (i.e., not worsening), delay in onset or slowing of progression of the condition, disorder or disease, improvement in the condition, disorder or disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether it leads to immediate relief of actual clinical symptoms, or enhancement or amelioration of the condition, disorder or disease. Treatment seeks to elicit a clinically significant response without undue side effects. Treatment also includes extending survival compared to expected survival in the absence of treatment. Five million people worldwide suffer from Parkinson's disease. Although the symptoms of Parkinson's disease are debilitating and negatively impact a patient's quality of life, there is as yet no disease-modifying therapy to treat Parkinson's disease. Sigma 2 modulators prevent neurological dysfunction caused by alpha-synuclein oligomers.

[0065] Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) pathology, i.e. Lewy bodies consisting of α-syn aggregates, was identified very early as a cardinal feature of Parkinson's disease. Since then, human genetic evidence has been accumulating showing that both familial and sporadic forms of Parkinson's disease are associated with SCNA, the gene encoding α-syn. More recently, accumulating evidence is indicating that soluble oligomeric forms of α-syn, α-syn oligomers (α-synOs), are toxic species present in Parkinson's disease and may contribute to neurodegeneration by various mechanisms, including inhibiting intracellular trafficking, blocking normal autophagy, and inducing synaptic dysfunction and loss. α-synOs can interact with synapses and spread through synapses to anatomically connected areas, and its spread correlates with the Braak staging of Parkinson's disease and with Lewy bodies and synaptic pathology in neurons. Most α-syn targeting approaches in the clinic neglect to target oligomeric species, and thus therapeutic approaches that effectively target α-synOs are urgently needed. Screening assays identified compounds disclosed herein that can inhibit recombinant α-synO-induced impaired lipid vesicle trafficking and chaperone-mediated autophagy (increased expression of LAMP-2A). These compounds were identified as sigma-2 receptor modulators. After confirming concentration-dependent activity in the trafficking assay, these compounds were tested in a more physiologically relevant trafficking assay using Parkinson's disease brain-derived α-synOs, and the sigma-2 modulators indeed restored trafficking to normal. The sigma-2 receptor complex is composed of transmembrane protein 97 (TMEM97) and progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1). Molecular interactions between the sigma-2 receptor components PGRMC1 and TMEM97, α-synOs, and proteins regulating vesicle tracking and autophagy, such as LC3B, may form the basis of these observations.Importantly, these data show for the first time that small molecule selective sigma-2 receptor modulators can block at least some of the toxic effects of α-synOs on neuronal cells.In vitro proof-of-concept studies demonstrating that sigma-2 receptor modulators alleviate α-synO-induced neurotoxicity through multiple mechanisms support their potential as a treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Thus, embodiments include stereoisomers, diastereomers, and enantiomers of compounds according to any embodiment described herein. Chiral compounds may exist as individual enantiomers or as mixtures of enantiomers. A mixture containing equal proportions of enantiomers is called a "racemic mixture." A mixture containing unequal portions of enantiomers is described as having an "enantiomeric excess" (ee) of either the R or S compound. The excess of one enantiomer in a mixture is often expressed in % enantiomeric excess. The ratio of enantiomers may also be defined by "optical purity," which is the degree to which a mixture of enantiomers rotates plane-polarized light compared to individual optically pure R and S compounds. A compound may also be a substantially pure (+) or (-) enantiomer of a compound described herein. In some embodiments, the composition may comprise a substantially pure enantiomer that is at least 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% of one enantiomer. In certain embodiments, the composition may comprise a substantially pure enantiomer that is at least 99.5% of one enantiomer.

[0176] The above description encompasses all individual isomers of the compounds according to any embodiment described herein, and the description or naming of a particular compound in the specification and claims is intended to include both the individual enantiomers and mixtures thereof. Methods for the determination of stereochemistry and the separation or stereosynthesis of stereoisomers are well known in the art. Diastereomers differ in both physical properties and chemical reactivity. Mixtures of diastereomers can be separated into enantiomeric pairs based on solubility, fractional crystallization, or chromatographic properties, e.g., thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, or HPLC. Purification of a complex mixture of diastereomers into enantiomers usually requires two steps. In the first step, the mixture of diastereomers is resolved into the enantiomeric pair, as described above. In the second step, the enantiomeric pair is further purified to a composition enriched in one or the other enantiomer, or more preferably, to a composition consisting of the pure enantiomer. Separation of enantiomers usually requires reaction or molecular interaction with a chiral agent, e.g., a solvent or column matrix. For example, resolution can be achieved by converting a mixture of enantiomers, e.g., a racemic mixture, into a mixture of diastereomers by reacting it with a pure enantiomer of a second agent, i.e., a resolating agent. The two resulting diastereomeric products can then be separated. The separated diastereomers are reconverted to the pure enantiomers by reversing the initial chemical change.

[0177] Separation of enantiomers can also be achieved by differences in non-covalent binding to chiral substances. Non-covalent binding of enantiomers to chromatographic adsorbents leads to the formation of diastereomeric complexes, which lead to differences in their partitioning between mobile and bound states in the chromatographic system. Thus, the two enantiomers move at different rates through a chromatographic system such as a column, allowing for their separation.

[0178] Further embodiments include prodrugs of compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein, i.e., compounds that release active compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein in vivo when administered to a mammalian subject. Prodrugs are pharmacologically active compounds that are converted to pharmacologically active agents by metabolic conversion, or more typically inactive compounds. Prodrugs of compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein are prepared by modifying functional groups present in the compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein such that the modifications can be cleaved in vivo to release the parent compound. In vivo, the prodrugs readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions (e.g., hydrolyzed or acted upon by naturally occurring enzymes), resulting in the release of the pharmacologically active agent. Prodrugs include compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein in which a hydroxyl group, amino group, or carboxy group is bonded to any group that can be cleaved in vivo to regenerate a free hydroxyl group, amino group, or carboxy group, respectively. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to, esters of compounds according to any embodiment described herein (e.g., acetate derivatives, formates, and benzoates), or any other derivatives that are converted to active parent drug when returned to physiological pH or by enzymatic action. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable prodrug derivatives are described in the art (e.g., see Bundgaard.Design of Prodrugs.Elsevier, 1985).

[0179] In some embodiments, one or more hydrogen atoms of the compound according to any embodiment described herein are replaced with deuterium.It is well established that deuteration of physiologically active compounds provides the advantage of retaining the pharmacological profile of its hydrogen counterpart while positively affecting its metabolic outcome.By selectively replacing one or more hydrogen atoms in the compound according to any embodiment described herein with deuterium, the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the compound can be improved compared to its all-hydrogen counterpart.

[0180] Methods for incorporating deuterium into compounds are well established. Using metabolic studies established in the art, compounds according to any embodiment described herein can be tested to identify sites at which deuterium isotopes are preferentially placed, where the deuterium isotopes are not metabolized. Furthermore, these studies identify metabolic sites where deuterium atoms will be placed.

[0181] Pharmaceutical compositions for use in the present invention Some embodiments describe pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound according to any of the embodiments described herein, its pharma- ceutically acceptable salt, its solvate, its stereoisomer, its prodrug, or its active metabolite; and a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.The pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared by methods well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by various routes, depending on whether local or systemic treatment is desired and the site to be treated.

[0182] While it is possible for a compound as described in any embodiment herein to be administered as a bulk substance, it is preferable to present the compound in a pharmaceutical formulation, e.g., where the active agent is in admixture with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.

[0183] In particular, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound according to any embodiment described herein, and optionally a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier.

[0184] combination For the pharmaceutical compositions and methods of the present disclosure, the compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein may be used in combination with other therapeutic and / or active agents.

[0185] In some embodiments, a compound according to any embodiment described herein may be combined with one or more therapeutic agents useful in the treatment of neurological disorders, including, but not limited to, donepezil, memantine, and anti-abeta antibodies.

[0186] Thus, in a further aspect, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one compound according to any embodiment described herein or a pharma- ceutically acceptable derivative thereof; a second active agent; and, optionally, a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier.

[0187] It will be understood that if combined in the same formulation, the two or more compounds must be stable with each other and compatible with the other components of the formulation, If formulated separately, they may be provided in any convenient formulation, in such a manner as is known in the art for such compounds.

[0188] Preservatives, stabilizers, dyes and flavorings can be provided in any pharmaceutical composition described herein.Examples of preservatives include sodium benzoate, ascorbic acid and esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid.Antioxidants and suspending agents can also be used.

[0189] For combinations involving biologics such as monoclonal antibodies or fragments, suitable excipients are generally employed for parenteral administration, e.g., intravenous administration, to prevent aggregation and stabilize the antibody or fragment in a low endotoxin solution. See, e.g., Formulation and Delivery Issues of Monoclonal Antibody Therapeutics, Daugherty et al., Current Trends in Monoclonal Antibody Development and Manufacturing, Part 4, 2010, Springer, New York pp 103-129.

[0190] The compounds according to any of the embodiments described herein can be milled using known milling procedures, such as wet milling, to obtain particle sizes suitable for tablet formation and other formulation types. Finely divided (nanoparticulate) formulations of the compounds can be prepared by processes known in the art, for example, see WO02 / 00196 (SmithKlineBeecham).

[0191] A compound according to any embodiment described herein, or a pharma- ceutically acceptable salt, solvate, stereoisomer, prodrug, or active metabolite thereof, can be formulated for any route of administration.

[0192] Route of Administration and Unit Dosage Form Routes for administration (delivery) include oral (e.g., as a tablet, capsule, or ingestible solution), topical, mucosal (e.g., as a nasal spray or aerosol for inhalation), parenteral (e.g., including but not limited to, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraspinal, intraventricular, intrathecal or other depot administration), or gastrointestinal.

[0193] Thus, the pharmaceutical composition according to any embodiment described herein includes those that are specifically formulated for the mode of administration.In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is formulated in a form suitable for oral delivery.In some embodiments, the compound is an orally bioavailable compound suitable for oral delivery.In other embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is formulated in a form suitable for parenteral delivery.

[0194] The compounds according to any embodiment described herein may be formulated for administration in any convenient way for use in human or veterinary medicine, and thus the present disclosure includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds according to any embodiment described herein adapted for use in human or veterinary medicine. Such pharmaceutical compositions may be presented for use in a conventional manner with the aid of one or more suitable carriers. Carriers acceptable for therapeutic use are well known in the pharmaceutical arts and are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co. (AR Gennaro edit. 1985). The choice of pharmaceutical carrier may be selected with regard to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. The pharmaceutical composition may include, in addition to the carrier, any suitable binder(s), lubricant(s), suspending agent(s), coating agent(s), and / or solubilizing agent(s).

[0195] Different delivery systems may require different pharmaceutical compositions / formulations. It is understood that not all compounds need to be administered by the same route. Similarly, when a pharmaceutical composition contains multiple active ingredients, those ingredients may be administered by different routes. As an example, the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure may be formulated to be delivered via a topical ocular route, for example, as a subconjunctival intraocular injection or an intravitreal intraocular injection, in which case the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for delivery for injection into the eye. Alternatively, the formulation may be designed to be delivered systemically, in which case the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for delivery by, for example, an intravenous or oral route. Alternatively, the formulation may be designed to be delivered by multiple routes.

[0196] The combination of the compound according to any of the embodiments described herein and the antibody or antibody fragment molecule can be formulated and administered by any of a number of routes, and is administered at a therapeutically effective concentration for the desired indication or purpose. To achieve this goal, the antibody can be formulated with various acceptable excipients known in the art. Typically, the antibody is administered by injection, for example, intravenous injection. Methods for achieving this administration are known to those skilled in the art. For example, Gokarn et al., 2008, JP Harm Sci 97(8):3051-3066, incorporated herein by reference, describes various high concentration antibody self-buffering formulations. For example, monoclonal antibodies in self-buffered formulations may be, for example, 50 mg / mL mAb, 5.25% sorbitol, pH 5.0; or 60 mg / mL mAb, 5% sorbitol, 0.01% polysorbate 20, pH 5.2; or conventional buffered formulations, such as 50 mg / mL mAb1, 5.25% sorbitol, 25 or 50 mM acetate, glutamate or succinate, pH 5.0; or 60 mg / mL in 10 mM acetate or glutamate, 5.25% sorbitol, 0.01% polysorbate 20, pH 5.2; other lower concentration formulations may also be employed as known in the art.

[0197] Some compounds of the disclosure cross the blood-brain barrier and can therefore be administered in a variety of ways, for example, systemically (e.g., iv, SC, oral, mucosal, transdermal routes) or locally (e.g., intracranially).

[0198] When the compound according to any embodiment described herein is delivered mucosally through the gastrointestinal mucosa, it should be able to remain stable during the passage of the gastrointestinal tract; for example, it should be resistant to proteolysis, stable at acidic pH, and resistant to the cleansing effect of bile. For example, the compound according to any embodiment described herein prepared for oral administration can be coated with an enteric coating layer. The enteric coating layer material can be dispersed or dissolved in either water or a suitable organic solvent. As the enteric coating layer polymer, one or more of the following can be used separately or in combination; for example, a solution or dispersion of, for example, methacrylic acid copolymer, cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate butyrate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate trimellitate, carboxymethyl ethyl cellulose, shellac or other suitable enteric coating layer polymer. In some embodiments, the aqueous enteric coating layer is a methacrylic acid copolymer.

[0199] Where appropriate, the pharmaceutical compositions according to any of the embodiments described herein may be administered by inhalation, by use of a skin patch, orally in the form of tablets containing excipients such as starch or lactose, or in the form of capsules or eggs, alone or mixed with excipients, or in the form of elixirs, solutions or suspensions containing flavoring or coloring agents, or may be injected parenterally, for example intravenously, intramuscularly or subcutaneously. For buccal or sublingual administration, the pharmaceutical compositions according to any of the embodiments described herein may be administered in the form of tablets or lozenges, which may be formulated in a conventional manner.

[0200] When the pharmaceutical composition according to any embodiment described herein is administered parenterally, such administration includes, but is not limited to, administering the compound of the present disclosure intravenously, intraarterially, intrathecally, intracranially, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously; and / or using infusion techniques.

The formulation may also be optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In either case, the final formulation must be sterile, liquid, and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. To improve storage stability, such formulations may also contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by the addition of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, or ascorbic acid. In many cases, isotonic substances, for example, sugars, buffers, and sodium chloride, are recommended to ensure an osmotic pressure similar to that of body fluids, especially blood. The absorption of such injectable mixtures can be prolonged by the incorporation of absorption-delaying agents, such as aluminum monostearate or gelatin.

[0202] Dispersion can be prepared in liquid carrier or intermediate, such as glycerin, liquid polyethylene glycol, triacetin oil, and mixtures thereof.Liquid carrier or intermediate can be, for example, a solvent or liquid dispersion medium, including water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, etc.), vegetable oil, non-toxic glycerin ester, and suitable mixtures thereof.Proper fluidity can be maintained by forming liposomes, administering appropriate particle size in case of dispersion, or adding surfactant.

[0263] Compounds according to any embodiment described herein can be prepared, for example, by the general and specific methods outlined in WO2013 / 029057, WO2015 / 116923 and WO2018 / 213281, each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety and which methods constitute further aspects of the present disclosure. Throughout the examples, the following sigma 2 receptor modulators were used: [ka] . Example 1: Substitution of α-synuclein oligomers Experimental Design:

[0264] Rat neuronal cultures were treated with carrier (α-seeded control (7.1 nM) without α-synuclein oligomers (α-synOs)) or synthetic α-synOs for 24 h. Cultures were immunostained for neurite marker microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2; green) and α-synuclein, oligomer-specific antibody (ASYO5 antibody, Agrisera; red).

[0265] Analysis and Results Compound A and Compound B inhibit a-synO binding to neuronal synapses and rescue the a-synO-induced transport impairment in a concentration-dependent manner. Untreated carrier control cultures without added α-synO lack α-synO immunoreactivity (Figure 1A). Neurons treated with 1 μM α-synO show punctate binding of a-synO along neurites in the presence (Figure 1C), but not in the absence (Figure 1B), of Compound A (10 μM). Compound B (Figure 1D) and Compound A (Figure I-E) concentration-dependently block a-synO binding to neuronal synapses and concentration-dependently rescue the a-synO-induced transport impairment. α-synOs (final concentration 1.0 μM) caused significant deficits in vesicle transport (filled circles) compared to untreated carrier controls (squares). Compound B showed Emax=92% and EC50=0.31 μM (Figure 1F), and Compound A showed Emax=87% and EC50=650 nM (Figure 1G), which improved this α-synO defect in a concentration-dependent manner. Figure 1D, 1E, 1F, 1G: *p<0.05, ***p<0.01, ***p<0.01, ***p<0.001, one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's post-hoc test for drug concentration vs. control. EXAMPLES

[0266] Experimental Design: Compounds A and B show efficacy in animal models of Parkinson's disease, including models that overexpress α-synuclein and models that mimic the spread of α-synuclein throughout the brain. One such overexpression model is the rat AAV1 / 2A53T-α-synuclein model (Koprich, JB, Johnston, TH, Huot, P., Reyes, MG, Espinosa, M., Brotchie, JM., "Progressive neurodegeneration or endogenous compensation in an animal model of Parkinson's disease produced by decreasing doses of alpha-synuclein," PLoSOne, 6:1-9 (2011), which is incorporated by reference initia), in which induction of α-synuclein overexpression is accompanied by loss of nigral dopaminergic cells, decreased dopamine transporter levels, decreased dopamine levels, and motor deficits.In another example, preformed α-synuclein fibrils are injected into the brain to model the propagation of Parkinson's disease pathology in the brain (Duffy, MF, Collier, TJ, Patterson, JR, Kemp, CJ, Fischer D.L., Stoll, AC, Sortwell, CE, "Quality over quantity: Benefits of using α-synuclein preformed fibrils to model idiopathic Parkinson's disease," FrontNeurosci, 12:1-10 (2018) and Patterson, JR,, Duffy, MF, Kemp, CJ, Howe, JW, Collier, TJ, Stoll, AC, Miller, KM, Pate L, P., Levine, N., Moore, DJ, Luk, KC, Fleming, SM, Kanaan, NM, Paumier, KL, ElAgnaf, OMA, Sortwell, CE, "Timecourse and magnitude of alpha-synuclein inclusion formation and nigrostriatal degeneration in therapeutic model of synucleinopathy triggered by intrastriatal alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils," Neurobiol Dis, 130 (2019), which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. Models using injections of preformed alpha-synuclein fibrils recapitulate several aspects of idiopathic Parkinson's disease, including increased alpha-synuclein oligomer concentrations, increased pSer129 levels, and decreased striatal dopamine and dopamine transporter expression in a manner that propagates outward from the injection site.

[0267] result Treatment of both Parkinson's disease models with either Compound A or Compound B reduces some or all of the damage characteristic of Parkinson's disease and / or slows the propagation of such damage throughout the brain.
