Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to certain cyclic peptides that inhibit TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) activity, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such peptides, and methods of using the compounds to treat, inhibit, or ameliorate one or more autoimmune and inflammatory disease states that can benefit from inhibition of TNFR1, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa and other skin disorders, and other neurological, neurodegenerative, metabolic, and ocular disorders. [Background technology]

[0002] Therapeutic agents targeting the signaling of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), including anti-TNFα biologics that emerged in the 1990s, continue to be included in the standard of care (SOC) for several common autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) (collectively known as IBD), RA, juvenile RA, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and hidradenitis suppurativa. TNFα is a pleiotropic cytokine that affects the function of various cell types. It triggers cellular responses ranging from inducing inflammatory gene expression programs, stimulating cell proliferation and differentiation, to activating cell suicide programs such as apoptosis and necroptosis. It is expressed as a type II single-pass transmembrane protein and as a soluble variant released after proteolytic processing.

[0003] TNFα self-assembles into homotrimeric molecules and interacts with two known membrane receptors for TNFα, TNFR1 and TNFR2, both in transmembrane and soluble forms, each exerting distinct biological effects. Both TNFα receptors are typical representatives of the broader TNF receptor superfamily. TNFR1 and TNFR2 are type I single-pass transmembrane proteins characterized by several cysteine-rich domains in their extracellular domains. Soluble forms of TNFR1 and TNFR2 have also been described and arise from alternative splicing or shedding. TNFR1 is expressed by almost all cell types and mediates the well-known pro-inflammatory, cytotoxic, and gene-inducing signaling actions of TNFα. TNFR2 is expressed by more restricted cell types, including myeloid cells, regulatory T cells, glial cells, some endothelial cell types, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and certain T and B cell subsets, where it mediates the cytokine's immunosuppressive / homeostatic effects on immune cells and tissue regeneration.

[0004] The mechanism of action (MOA) of anti-TNFα biologics such as infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab and certolizumab involves binding to the cytokine TNFα and therefore inhibiting binding to both TNFR1 and TNFR2.

[0005] A key limitation of anti-TNFα SOC biologics as a class of drugs is the high loss of response rate (>70% within 1 year of treatment), often caused by the development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs, approximately 60% of IBD patients), which result in undesirable changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of these drugs (see Colombel et al., “Adalimumab for Maintenance of Clinical Response and Remission in Patients with Crohn's Disease”, Gastroenterology 132(1):52-65 (2007); and Vaisman-Mentesh, A. et al., “The Molecular Mechanisms that Underlie the Immune Biology of Anti-drug Antibody Formation Following Treatment with Monoclonal Antibodies”, Frontiers in Immunology, 11:1951 (2020)).

[0006] The limitations of anti-TNF therapy may depend on the pleiotropic biological functions of TNF mediated by two distinct TNF receptors. In different animal disease models, genetic deletion of TNFR1 is typically associated with or reduces disease, whereas loss of TNFR2 exacerbates disease. These and other data indicate that soluble TNFα / TNFR1 signaling primarily mediates proapoptotic and inflammatory responses, whereas TNFR2 contributes to immune regulation and tissue regeneration. Therefore, reagents that selectively target TNFRs may be superior to comprehensive TNF blockade, as they allow for differential activation and / or inhibition of TNFRs. Selective blockade of TNFα / TNFR1 signaling while preserving functional TNFα / TNFR2 signaling appears to be sufficient to disrupt pathological TNFα signaling. In contrast to global TNF blockers, which neutralize both soluble and transmembrane forms of TNFα, this class of therapeutics may induce less severe side effects and may be useful for treating other diseases in which complete TNF inhibition is contraindicated, such as MS or neurodegenerative diseases (see Fischer et al., "Selective Targeting of TNF Receptors as a Novel Therapeutic Approach," Front. Cell Dev. Biol. 8:401 (2020); Dong et al., "Targeting of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Receptors as a Therapeutic Strategy for Neurodegenerative Disorders," Antibodies, 4:4 (2015)).

[0007] Additional therapeutic approaches beyond the current standard of care of anti-TNFα biologics are needed to slow the progression of common autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0008] [Non-Patent Document 1] Colombel et al., “Adalimumab for Maintenance of Clinical Response and Remission in Patients with Crohn's Disease”, Gastroenterology 132(1):52-65(2007) [Non-patent document 2] Vaisman-Mentesh, A. et al., “The Molecular Mechanisms that underlie the Immune Biology of Anti-drug Antibody Formation following Treatment with Monoclonal Antibodies”, Frontiers in Immunology, 11:1951 (2020) [Non-patent document 3] Fischer et al., “Selective Targeting of TNF Receptors as a Novel Therapeutic Approach”, Front.Cell Dev.Biol.8:401(2020) [Non-patent document 4] Dong et al., “Targeting of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Receptors as a Therapeutic Strategy for Neurodegenerative Disorders”, Antibodies, 4:4 (2015) Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present disclosure provides certain cyclic peptides that reduce inflammation by selectively inhibiting TNFR1, specifically attenuating the pro-inflammatory activity of TNFα mediated by TNFR1 signaling and sparing / passively enabling TNFα-TNFR2 pro-homeostatic signaling. These cyclic peptides may be valuable pharmaceutically active compounds for treating common autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD) (collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), psoriasis, and other inflammatory conditions that can be treated by blocking TNFα signaling, such as psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and other skin disorders, as well as other neurological, neurodegenerative, metabolic, and ocular disorders.

[0010] In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a compound of formula (I) [ka] and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

[0011] The compounds of the present invention have the potential to provide superior and sustained efficacy over non-selective anti-TNFα SOCs through inhibition of TNFR1-driven inflammation while simultaneously sparing TNFR2-dependent homeostasis, mucosal / tissue healing, and immune regulation. Thus, in another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease (collectively known as IBD), rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and hidradenitis suppurativa) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present disclosure to a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, the administration comprises oral administration of the compound.

Examples also include methods for testing such compounds in biophysical, biochemical, and cellular assays. However, the compounds illustrated in the examples should not be construed as forming the only genus considered in this disclosure.

[0232] Unless otherwise specifically stated, all reagents are commercially available, known in the literature, or easily synthesized by those skilled in the art. The general routes applicable to the synthesis of compounds of Formula I are described in the following schemes. In some cases, the order of reaction steps in the schemes can be changed to facilitate the reaction or avoid unwanted reaction products. Furthermore, various protecting group strategies familiar to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis and solid-phase peptide synthesis can be used to facilitate the reaction, improve yield and purity, or avoid undesired reaction products.

[0233] Unless otherwise noted, all reagents and solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without further purification. All temperatures are in degrees Celsius (°C), and ambient or room temperature (RT) is 20°C. Most compounds were purified by reversed-phase preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or medium-pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) on silica gel. The course of reactions was followed by liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (LC-MS) or ultra-performance liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS); electrospray ionization (ESI); UV detection at 254 nm. Proton, fluorine, and carbon magnetic resonance ( 1 H, 19 F and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on 300, 400, 500, or 600 MHz Varian or Bruker spectrometers; chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (ppm) relative to tetramethylsilane and referenced to residual solvent. Coupling constants are reported in Hertz. 1H NMR data are reported here as follows: chemical shift (multiplicity [singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), doublet of doublet (dd), doublet of triplet (dt), triplet of triplet (td), triplet of triplet (tt), doublet of doublet of doublet (ddd), multiplet (m), and broad singlet (br.s)], coupling constant [Hz], and integral). Moisture- or air-sensitive reactions were carried out under nitrogen or argon using anhydrous solvents and reagents. Reaction progress was determined by either analytical thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), typically performed on pre-coated TLC plates (E. Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), silica gel 60F-254, layer thickness 0.25 mm.

[0234] Unless otherwise specified, when ratios of compounds (e.g., solvents) are given, the ratios are on a volume to volume basis. For example, a solvent gradient ranging from 100% hexane to 50% EtOAc / hexane refers to a gradient starting from a mixture of 100 parts hexane by volume and varying to a mixture of 50 parts ethyl acetate:50 parts hexane by volume.

[0235] The term "w / w" refers to the weight of a compound relative to the total weight. For example, NaH 60% w / w means 60 parts by weight of NaH:100 parts by weight of total.

[0236] The following examples are provided so that the present invention may be more fully understood. These examples are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way. If a racemic mixture is produced, the enantiomers can be separated using SFC reverse-phase or normal-phase chiral resolution conditions after isolation of the final product or on an appropriate intermediate, followed by individual processing of the single isomers. It is understood that alternative methods can be used to synthesize these key intermediates and examples. Asymmetric methods (e.g., chiral catalysts, auxiliaries, biocatalytic processes) can be used where possible and appropriate. The exact choice of reagents, solvents, temperatures, and other reaction conditions will depend on the nature of the intended products.
