Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] (CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS) This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 396,836, filed August 10, 2022, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 405,973, filed September 13, 2022. The contents of each of the above patent applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]

[0002] Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a large group of disorders that cause progressive scarring of lung tissue, mostly due to fibrosis. The scarring associated with ILD ultimately affects a person's ability to breathe and get enough oxygen into the bloodstream, resulting in a series of adverse health effects. ILD can be caused by long-term exposure to harmful substances such as asbestos. Some types of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can also cause ILD. Interstitial lung disease can also be induced by the administration of certain drugs, including anticancer drugs (Schwaiblmair et al. Drug-induced interstitial lung disease. Open Respir Med J. 2012;6:63-74. doi:10.2174 / 1874306401206010063. Epub 2012 Jul 27. PMID:22896776; PMCID:PMC3415629; Camus et al. Interstitial lung disease associated with drug therapy. Br J Cancer. 2004;91 Suppl 2(Suppl 2):S 18-S 23; Conte et al. Drug-induced interstitial lung disease during cancer therapies: expert opinion on diagnosis and treatment. ESMO Open. 2022;7(2):100404; which are incorporated by reference in their entireties for all purposes). For example, Enhertz, an antibody-drug conjugate used to treat HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, has been shown to induce ILD, including pneumonitis, in certain patients, although in some cases the cause remains unknown (i.e., idiopathic).

[0003] Pulmonary fibrosis, also known as lung fibrosis, is a complex disease with multiple subtypes, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is progressive, chronic, and one of the most lethal interstitial lung diseases. Pulmonary fibrosis, including IPF, is characterized by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and abnormal fibroblast proliferation in the lung parenchyma (lung lesions), resulting in edema and tissue scarring. Pulmonary fibrosis is thought to be caused by long-term exposure to substances harmful to alveolar epithelial cells and genetic factors. Although the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis is not yet fully understood, various cytokines and other molecules have been reported to play important roles in disease progression. Activated lung epithelium can also produce mediators for fibroblast migration, proliferation, and differentiation into activated myofibroblasts. These myofibroblasts secrete increased amounts of molecules that promote extracellular matrix fluid and lung structural remodeling.

[0004] Inflammatory signaling pathways have been implicated in the pathophysiology of pulmonary fibrosis. Acute inflammatory responses play a key role in inducing pulmonary fibrosis, for example, in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model, an animal model used to study pulmonary fibrosis. Brief exposure to bleomycin induces epithelial cell apoptosis and activates an inflammatory wound-healing response that can result in the transient excessive deposition of ECM components in the affected tissue. Therefore, reducing the inflammatory response can halt or slow the progression of tissue remodeling and restore normal tissue architecture after injury. Fibrosis is promoted by many signaling molecules, including inflammatory cytokines.

[0005] Although the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis is not fully understood, evidence suggests that several classes of proteases may play important roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. For example, the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., MMP-7 and MMP-9) and certain cathepsins (e.g., cathepsins B and H) is increased in lung samples from patients with pulmonary fibrosis, and promotes the development of pulmonary fibrosis and / or extracellular matrix remodeling in experimental models. Another class of proteases, including the aminopeptidase family, has also been implicated in several disease models of fibrosis, with increased aminopeptidase activity found in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from patients with IPF and patients with interstitial lung lesions resulting from connective tissue disease compared with normal volunteers. One member of the aminopeptidase family is methionine aminopeptidase type 2 (MetAP2, or p67), which catalyzes the removal of N-terminal methionine from nascent polypeptides.

[0006] There is a need in the art for compositions and methods for the treatment of ILD. Additionally, there is a need in the art for compositions and methods for preventing and / or alleviating treatment-induced ILD. The present disclosure provides MetAP2 inhibitors and combinations comprising MetAP2 inhibitors for the treatment of ILD, including pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, pulmonary fibrosis, and pneumonia, and for preventing and / or alleviating treatment-induced ILD.

[0357] subject In some embodiments, the subject in need is an animal. In some embodiments, the animal is a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject in need is a human.

[0358] In some embodiments, the subject in need is a human aged 18 years or older, or 25 years or older, or 50 years or older, or 60 years or older, or 65 years or older, or 70 years or older, or 75 years or older, or 80 years or older, or 85 years or older.

[0359] General definition Certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist in specific geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present disclosure contemplates that all such compounds are within the scope of the present disclosure, including cis and trans isomers, R and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, d-isomers, l-isomers, racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in substituents such as alkyl groups. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in the present disclosure. Any representation of a specific isomer is merely exemplary (e.g., a representation of a trans isomer also encompasses the cis isomer).

[0360] For example, if a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present disclosure is desired, it can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis or by derivatization with a chiral auxiliary to separate the resulting diastereomeric mixture and cleavage of the auxiliary to yield the pure desired enantiomer. Alternatively, if the molecule contains a basic functional group such as amino, or an acidic functional group such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts can be formed with an appropriate optically active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers so formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means known in the art to recover the pure enantiomers.

[0361] In this specification, the structural formula of a compound may conveniently represent a specific isomer in some cases, but the present disclosure includes all isomers, such as geometric isomers, optical isomers based on asymmetric carbons, stereoisomers, and tautomers. Furthermore, the compounds represented by the formula may exist in crystalline polymorphism. It should be noted that any crystalline form, a mixture of crystalline forms, or anhydrous or hydrated forms thereof are included within the scope of the present disclosure. Furthermore, so-called metabolites produced by decomposition of the compounds of the present invention in vivo are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0362] "Isomerism" means compounds that have identical molecular formulae but differ in the sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are called "stereoisomers." Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are called "diastereoisomers," and stereoisomers that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are called "enantiomers" or sometimes optical isomers. A mixture containing equal amounts of individual enantiomeric forms of opposite chirality is called a "racemic mixture."

[0363] A carbon atom bonded to four nonidentical substituents is termed a "chiral center."

[0364] "Chiral isomer" means a compound having at least one chiral center. Compounds with two or more chiral centers can exist as individual diastereomers or as a mixture of diastereomers called a "diastereoisomeric mixture." When one chiral center is present, a stereoisomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration (R or S) of that chiral center. Absolute configuration refers to the arrangement in space of the substituents attached to the chiral center. The substituents attached to the chiral center under consideration are ranked according to the ranking rules of Cahn, Ingold, and Prelog. (Cahn et al.,Angew.Chem.Inter.Edit.1966,5,385;errata 511, Cahn et al.,Angew.Chem.1966,78,413;Cahn and Ingold,J.Chem.Soc.1951(London),612, Cahn et al.,Experientia 1956, 12, 81; Cahn, J. Chem. Educ. 1964, 41, 116).

[0365] "Geometric isomers" refers to diastereomers that exist due to hindered rotation about double bonds. These configurations are distinguished in their names by the prefixes cis and trans, or Z and E, indicating that the groups are on the same or opposite sides of the double bond in the molecule, according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog rules.

[0366] Furthermore, the structures and other compounds discussed in this disclosure include all atropisomers thereof. An "atropisomer" is a type of stereoisomer in which the atoms of two isomers are arranged differently in space. Atropisomers owe their existence to rotational constraints caused by the hindrance of rotation of large groups around a central bond. Such atropisomers typically exist as mixtures, but recent advances in chromatographic techniques have made it possible to separate mixtures of two atropisomers in selected cases.

[0367] A "tautomer" is one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are easily converted from one isomeric form to another. This conversion involves the formal migration of a hydrogen atom accompanied by the switching of adjacent conjugated double bonds. Tautomers exist as a mixture of tautomeric sets in solution. In solid form, one tautomer usually predominates. In solutions where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of tautomers is reached. The exact ratio of tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. The concept of tautomers that are capable of interconversion by tautomerization is called tautomerism.

[0368] Of the various types of tautomerism possible, two are commonly observed: keto-enol tautomerism, in which a simultaneous shift of an electron and a hydrogen atom occurs; and ring-chain tautomerism, which occurs when an aldehyde group (-CHO) in a sugar molecule reacts with one of the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the same molecule, giving it a cyclic (ring-shaped) form, such as that exhibited by glucose.

[0369] Common tautomeric pairs include ketone-enol, amide-nitrile, lactam-lactim, amide-imidic acid tautomerism in heterocycles (e.g., in nucleobases such as guanine, thymine, and cytosine), amine-enamine, and enamine-enamine.

[0370] It is understood that the compounds of the present disclosure may be represented as various tautomeric forms. It should also be understood that where a compound has tautomeric forms, all tautomeric forms are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure, and the naming of a compound does not exclude any tautomeric form.

[0371] The terms "crystalline polymorph," "polymorph," or "crystalline form" refer to crystalline structures in which a compound (or a salt or solvate thereof) can crystallize in different crystal packing arrangements, all of which have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms typically have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Depending on the recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, storage temperature, and other factors, one crystalline form may predominate. Crystalline polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

[0372] Additionally, compounds of the present disclosure, such as salts of the compounds, can exist in either hydrated or non-hydrated (anhydrous) form, or as solvates with other solvent molecules. Non-limiting examples of hydrates include monohydrates, dihydrates, etc. Non-limiting examples of solvates include ethanol solvates, acetone solvates, etc.

[0373] "Solvate" refers to a solvent addition form containing either a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent. Some compounds have a tendency to trap a fixed molar ratio of solvent molecules in the crystalline solid state, thereby forming a solvate. When the solvent is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate, and when the solvent is alcohol, the solvate formed is an alcoholate. A hydrate is formed by the combination of one or more water molecules with a molecule of a substance, where the water retains its molecular state as HO.

[0374] As used herein, the term "analog" refers to a chemical compound that is structurally similar to another but differs slightly in composition (such as the replacement of one atom with an atom of a different element, or the presence of a particular functional group, or the replacement of one functional group with another). Thus, an analog is a compound that is similar or equivalent in function and appearance to a reference compound, but differs in structure or origin.

[0375] The term "derivative," as defined herein, refers to compounds that share a common core structure and are substituted with various groups as described herein.

[0376] The term "bioisostere" refers to a compound resulting from the exchange of an atom or group of atoms with another generally similar atom or group of atoms. The purpose of bioisosteric substitution is to create a new compound with similar biological properties to the parent compound. Bioisosteric substitutions can be physicochemically or topologically based. Examples of bioisosteres of carboxylic acids include, but are not limited to, acylsulfonamides, tetrazoles, sulfonates, and phosphonates. See, e.g., Patani and LaVoie, Chem. Rev. 96, 3147-3176, 1996.

[0377] As used herein, the term "temporal proximity" refers to the administration of one therapeutic agent (e.g., a MetAP2 inhibitor compound disclosed herein) occurring within a time frame before or after the administration of another therapeutic agent (e.g., pirfenidone or nintedanib) such that the therapeutic effects of one therapeutic agent overlap with the therapeutic effects of the other therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the therapeutic effects of one therapeutic agent completely overlap with the therapeutic effects of the other therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, "temporal proximity" refers to the administration of one therapeutic agent occurring within a time frame before or after the administration of another therapeutic agent such that a synergistic effect exists between the one therapeutic agent and the other therapeutic agent. "Temporal proximity" can vary depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the age, sex, weight, genetic background, medical condition, medical history, and treatment history of the subject to whom the therapeutic agent is administered, the disease or symptom being treated or ameliorated, the therapeutic result to be achieved, the dosage, frequency, and duration of administration of the therapeutic agent, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the therapeutic agent, and the route by which the therapeutic agent is administered. In some embodiments, "proximity in time" means within 15 minutes, within 30 minutes, within 1 hour, within 2 hours, within 4 hours, within 6 hours, within 8 hours, within 12 hours, within 18 hours, within 24 hours, within 36 hours, within 2 days, within 3 days, within 4 days, within 5 days, within 6 days, within 1 week, within 2 weeks, within 3 weeks, within 4 weeks, within 6 weeks, or within 8 weeks. In some embodiments, multiple administrations of one therapeutic agent may occur in close temporal proximity to a single administration of another therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the temporal proximity may vary during a treatment cycle or dosing regimen.

[0378] The terms "effective amount" and "therapeutically effective amount" of an agent or compound are used in the broadest sense and refer to a nontoxic but sufficient amount of an active agent or compound to provide a desired effect or benefit.

[0379] The term "benefit" is used in the broadest sense to refer to any desired effect, and specifically includes clinical benefit as defined herein. Clinical benefit can be measured by assessing various endpoints, for example, inhibition to some extent of disease progression, including delay and / or complete halt, reduction in the number of disease events and / or symptoms, shrinkage in lesion size, inhibition (i.e., reduction, delay or complete halt) of disease cell invasion into adjacent peripheral organs and / or tissues, inhibition (i.e., reduction, delay or complete halt) of disease metastasis, reduction in the autoimmune response which may, but not necessarily, result in regression or elimination of disease lesions, alleviation to some extent of one or more symptoms associated with the disorder, length of symptom-free period after treatment such as increased progression-free survival, increased overall survival, higher response rate, reduced mortality at a given time point after treatment, and / or improvement in one of the following symptoms: congestion, fluid / edema, wheezing, cough, hypoxemia, hypoxia, lung stiffness, shortness of breath, shortness of breath during exercise, dry cough, rapid, shallow breathing, weight loss, fatigue, joint pain, muscle pain, and finger clubbing.

[0380] As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to compounds, anions, cations, materials, compositions, carriers, and / or dosage forms that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, and / or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0381] As used herein, the terms "combination therapy" or "cotherapy" include the administration of a compound of the present disclosure, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, or solvate thereof, and at least a second agent as part of a specific treatment regimen intended to provide a beneficial effect from the co-action of these therapeutic agents.

[0388] The methods and combinations described herein are based on the surprising discovery that Compound 1 of the present disclosure significantly improved lung histology and lung function in elderly male bleomycin-treated mice. The combination of Compound 1 and nintedanib had significantly greater effects on functional (PenH, SpO2, lung stiffness) and histological (tissue density, fibrotic lesions) endpoints compared with either compound alone. A study in young female mice with bleomycin-induced disease showed benefits of Compound 1 + nintedanib compared with either drug alone (lung weight, tissue density, fibrotic lesions). Compound 1 also increased plasma levels of adiponectin. These and other findings are described in more detail in the Examples provided below.

[0389] Example 1 - Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis with Compound 1 and Combinations of Compound 1 with Nintedanib or Pirfenidone The following are non-limiting examples demonstrating the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in an aged C57BL / 6 male mouse model using Compound 1 (referred to herein and in Figures 1-12 and 22 as "SDX-7320" or "SDX") and a combination of Compound 1 with either nintedanib (Nin), the current standard of care for patients with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, or pirfenidone.

[0390] Pulmonary fibrosis was modeled by treating mice with bleomycin (BLM). As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, BLM sulfate is a mixture of cytotoxic glycopeptide antibiotics isolated from Streptomyces verticillus and is used as an anti-cancer / antibiotic drug to treat various cancers. BLM disrupts DNA in tumor cells and induces apoptosis. BLM has been shown to have deleterious effects on tissues such as the lung and is associated with pulmonary side effects, including inflammation and fibrosis. The most common route of BLM administration to induce pulmonary fibrosis is intratracheal, which generally causes an inflammatory response and increased epithelial apoptosis within the first 7 days, closely resembling acute lung injury (ALI). This is followed by a 3-day transitional phase, during which inflammation resolves and the earliest fibrotic changes are detected. The fibrotic phase persists for 3-4 weeks after BLM and is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, which causes areas of fibrosis. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, BLM-induced lung injury in mice is a well-documented model of pulmonary fibrosis and is a particularly useful model for studying compounds effective in reducing pulmonary fibrosis and improving lung function after injury.

[0391] Animals: Jackson Laboratory male C57BL / 6 mice aged 72 weeks at the time of randomization were used in this study.

[0392] Treatment: Seven groups of mice were treated as shown in Table A. Mice in groups 2-7 were challenged on day 0 of the study with bleomycin solution by a single oropharyngeal dose of bleomycin solution, such that mice received 1.5 U / kg based on the animals' average body weight. On day 6 of the study, all mice were randomized based on weight loss measured on day 6 and their PenH values (see below).

[0393] Mice in treatment groups 1 and 2 received a vehicle control subcutaneously once every four days (Q4D) from days 7 to 21. Mice in treatment group 3 received SDX-7320 subcutaneously at a dose of 8 mg / kg Q4D from days 7 to 21 (i.e., four doses). Mice in treatment group 4 received pirfenidone orally (PO) at a dose of 100 mg / kg twice daily (BID) from days 7 to 21. Mice in treatment group 5 received nintedanib orally (PO) at a dose of 50 mg / kg once daily (QD) from days 7 to 21. Mice in treatment group 6 received SDX-7320 subcutaneously at a dose of 8 mg / kg Q4D from days 7 to 21 and pirfenidone orally (PO) at a dose of 100 mg / kg twice daily (BID) from days 7 to 21. Mice in treatment group 7 received SDX-7320 subcutaneously at a dose of 8 mg / kg Q4D from days 7 to 21 and nintedanib orally (PO) at a dose of 50 mg / kg once daily (QD) from days 7 to 21. Food and water were provided ad libitum. [Table 1]

[0394] Observations and Measurements: Daily observations of the animals' behavior and general health were recorded. Body weights were also measured daily.

[0395] Respiratory function: Respiratory function of mice was measured using plethysmography. All mice were acclimated to the plethysmograph chamber environment. After the acclimation period, baseline functional respiratory parameters were measured using a whole-body plethysmograph (SCIREQ VivoFlow) on days 6 (before treatment introduction and randomization), 13, and 20 after BLM administration. Respiratory function was measured using mice placed singly in unrestrained whole-body plethysmography (WBP) chambers (Buxco Systems). WBP tracings provide specific information about breathing patterns that correlate with the development of inflammation and fibrosis. Functional respiratory parameters analyzed included respiratory rate and PenH (pulmonary congestion index). PenH is used as an index of edema, inflammation, or congestion (bronchoconstriction). As understood by those skilled in the art, PenH is related to the pulmonary reactivity to injury. In pulmonary fibrosis studies, PenH is used as an index of the animal's pulmonary condition. Absence of elevated PenH values suggests that the animal is not diseased.

[0396] Hypoxia Measurement: On day 20 of the study, hypoxia-related parameters were assessed using an Abbott Vet-scan i-STAT system. Blood gas measurements of arterial blood, including partial pressure of oxygen (pO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), oxygen saturation (SpO2), bicarbonate ion, and lactate levels (indicating hypoxia), were assessed using a single-use CG4+ cartridge. Approximately 4-5 drops of arterial blood were collected from the tail to minimize impact on blood homeostasis.

[0397] PV Loop Assay: Prior to sacrifice on day 21 (after BLM administration), all mice were anesthetized with ketamine / xylazine. Anesthesia was confirmed by the absence of reflex movements. Mice were tracheotomized with a 20G stub needle cannula and ventilated with SCIREQ's FlexiVent automated system. To prevent spontaneous breathing, mice were injected with vecuronium (1 mg / kg), a skeletal muscle relaxant, and allowed to stabilize for at least 2 minutes. After stabilization, all animals were ventilated with the FlexiVent (SCIREQ). Default mouse ventilation parameter settings were entered into the Mouse Mechanics Scan script protocol, including SnapShot-150, Quickprime-3, PV Loop, and Deep Inflation ventilatory pattern protocols. All pulmonary function data acquisition and editing were performed using FlexiWare software V8 to determine phenotypic changes in lung parenchyma that occur with various pulmonary pathologies. Lung compliance or pulmonary compliance is a measure of the lung's ability to stretch and expand (the elastic tissue's distensibility), i.e., reflects the change in volume for any given applied pressure. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, low compliance indicates a stiff lung (with high elastic recoil), which is often observed in fibrosis. High compliance indicates a flexible lung (with low elastic recoil), which is often observed in emphysema.

[0398] Lung weight: The lungs were removed and wet lung weight (indicating edema) was recorded.

[0399] Histopathological preparation: The whole lungs of each mouse were removed, weighed, flushed with 0.9% NaCl, and inflated with 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF). The left lobe was kept in fixative for 48 hours and sent to the Histopathology Laboratory Althisia (Troyes, France) for preparation of slides for histopathological analysis. For each animal, three sections (5 μm thick) were cut (100 μm apart) onto a single slide and stained with picrosirius red (PSR). Alternatively, sections were labeled with the ab270993 antibody (a rabbit monoclonal antibody against type I collagen). After fixation and sectioning, slides labeled with ab270994Th underwent EDTA-based epitope retrieval and serum blocking for 20 minutes. They were then incubated with the ab270993 primary antibody (concentration, 1 / 1000) for 1 hour, followed by incubation with the secondary antibody for 45 minutes. All slides were scanned at 20x magnification (0.452 μm / pixel) using a NanoZoomer®-SQ scanner (Hamamatsu Photonics), and digital slides of the entire sections were captured using NDP view 2 Hamamatsu software. Images were then processed for automated analysis of pulmonary fibrosis (parenchymal density, percentage of fibrotic foci, and percentage collagen content).

[0400] Histopathological analysis: Automated quantification of morphological features of pulmonary fibrosis was performed from digitized images (scans) of PSR-stained or antibody-labeled lung sections using MorphoQuant™ (Biocellvia, France), an automated, AI-based digital pathology software for quantification. MorphoQuant™ uses the principles of morphological analysis to detect and quantify specific lung disease features from histological slides (Gilhodes et al. 2017; Michaudel, Fauconnier, et al. 2018). The following morphological endpoints were quantitatively assessed: a) Parenchymal tissue density (expressed as "tissue density (%)"), PSR staining: Tissue density is the ratio of the area occupied by lung tissue to the total section area, expressed as a percentage. The lumens derived from alveoli, bronchi, bronchioles, and blood vessels are not taken into account. b) Dense lung tissue (expressed as "fibrous foci (%)"), PSR staining: fibrous foci correspond to fibrous thickening of the alveolar parenchyma and are therefore characterized by specific high density values throughout the lung section. Fibrotic foci are expressed as the percentage ratio of the area occupied by dense lung tissue of the section to the total section area. c) Total collagen (expressed as "Collagen (%)"), PSR staining: Total collagen corresponds to the ratio of the area occupied by collagen to the total section area, expressed as a percentage. d) Collagen type I, α1 (expressed as "COL1A1 area (%)"), ab270993 antibody labeled: Collagen type I, α1 corresponds to the ratio of the area occupied by collagen type I, α1 to the total section area, expressed as a percentage.

[0401] Statistical analysis: All parameters were analyzed similarly, and results were expressed as mean ± SEM using Graph Pad Prism Software version 8.0 (San Diego, CA, USA). Equality of variance was tested using the Bartlett test. ANOVA was performed, followed by a post-hoc test (uncorrected Fisher's LSD). When distributions were not normalized, nonparametric analysis (Kruskal-Wallis test) was performed, followed by an uncorrected Dunn's test. Statistical comparisons were made between sham and BLM / vehicle, followed by comparisons between BLM / vehicle and treatment groups. Differences were considered statistically significant if the P value was less than 0.05. * indicates difference relative to sham animals, # indicates difference relative to BLM+vehicle group, and $ indicates difference relative to BLM+nintedanib. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, ***P<0.001, # P<0.05, ## P<0.01, ### P<0.001, while $ P<0.05, $$ P<0.01 and $$$ P<0.001.

[0402] Results: Figure 1 shows the PenH values (left panel) and respiratory rates (right panel) of mice in each treatment group on day 6 of the study after randomization of the mice into the different treatment groups. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, randomization allows for a relatively equal distribution of each group with respect to disease severity before the start of treatment.

[0403] Figure 2 shows the PenH values on day 13 of the study (upper left panel), the change in PenH values from day 6 to day 13 of the study (lower left panel), the respiratory rate on day 13 of the study (upper right panel), and the change in respiratory rate from day 6 to day 13 of the study (lower respiratory rate panel) for each treatment group.

[0404] Figure 3 shows the PenH values on study day 20 (upper left panel), the change in PenH values from study days 6 to 20 (lower left panel), the respiratory rate on study day 20 (upper right panel), and the change in respiratory rate from study days 6 to 20 (lower respiratory rate panel) for each treatment group. As shown in Figure 3, 20 days after BLM administration, the reduction in lung function was maintained in the BLM-treated group compared to the sham group. As observed on days 6 and 13, BLM administration increased pulmonary congestion (as indicated by PenH values) in BLM-treated animals. While nintedanib alone increased pulmonary congestion, SDX-7320 monotherapy reduced pulmonary congestion, and treatment with the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib or SDX-7320 and pirfenidone reduced congestion / inflammation. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the mean respiratory rate was significantly greater in the BLM-treated group. Treatment with the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib or the combination of SDX-7320 and pirfenidone reduced respiratory rate.

[0405] Figure 4 shows the PenH values (left panel) and respiratory rate (right panel) for each treatment group over the study period. As shown in Figure 4, after one week of treatment, the condition of mice treated with SDX-7320 monotherapy, the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib, or the combination of SDX-7320 and pirfenidone improved. As shown in Figure 4, 21 days after the BLM injury and 14 days after the start of treatment, the condition of mice treated with either SDX-7320 monotherapy, the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib, or the combination of SDX-7320 and pirfenidone improved.

[0406] On day 21 of the study, respiratory capacity was assessed by measuring key blood / gas exchange parameters, including arterial blood saturation (SpO2), blood oxygen tension (pO2), blood lactate levels, and blood bicarbonate (HCO3-) ion levels. Blood oxygen tension (pO2), blood bicarbonate (HCO3-) ion levels, and blood lactate levels are shown in Figure 5A (from left to right panels, respectively), and SpO2 values are shown in Figure 5B. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, in pulmonary fibrosis, arterial saturation is considered an important parameter representing the status of the lungs. As shown in Figure 5B, SpO2 values were significantly lower in BLM-treated animals compared to sham animals, indicating further evidence of impaired lung function. As shown in Figure 5B, treatment with either SDX-7320 alone or in combination with pirfenidone or nintedanib improved SpO2 values. This improvement was further supported by the improvement in pO2 levels, shown in the left panel of Figure 5A.

[0407] As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, one of the physiological effects of hypoxia is systemic anaerobic metabolism, resulting in elevated blood lactate levels. As shown in the right panel of Figure 5A, BLM-treated mice had higher blood lactate levels compared to sham mice. SDX-7320 treatment tended to reduce these levels, directly correlating with SpO2 and pO2. Treatment with SDX-7320 alone or in combination with pirfenidone or nintedanib reduced blood lactate levels. These improvements are further supported by the blood bicarbonate levels shown in the center panel of Figure 5A, which correlate with blood bicarbonate levels.

[0408] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, edema is a characteristic of pulmonary inflammation and is associated with vascular leakage and extracellular matrix deposition, which can increase lung weight through interstitial fluid retention and collagen deposition. After 21 days of study, the mice were sacrificed, and the lungs were removed, carefully blotted with sponges, and weighed. Pulmonary edema was assessed by measuring wet lung weight, and the results are shown in Figure 6. As shown in Figure 6, BLM injury induced a significant increase in lung weight. Treatment with SDX-7320 alone or in combination with pirfenidone or nintedanib reduced lung weight compared to BLM-treated mice. Nintedanib or pirfenidone alone did not significantly reduce lung weight.

[0409] Just prior to sacrifice on the final surgical day, a series of studies were performed on mice using the FlexiVent automated system (SCIREQ) to assess various parameters of pulmonary function. Pressure-volume loops (PV loops) were assessed for all mice using a series of automated predetermined pressure steps from 0 to 30 cmH2O, and the analysis is shown in Figure 7.

[0410] Static compliance (Cst) was also measured for each treatment group, and the analysis is shown in FIG.

[0411] Inflation volumes (tidal volumes) and lung volumes (total lung capacity) were also measured for each treatment group, and the analysis is shown in FIG.

[0412] Respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and tissue dumping (G) were also measured in each treatment group, and the analysis is shown in Figure 10. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, tissue dumping is related to alveolar resistance and is primarily responsible for the resistance of the entire pulmonary system. As shown in Figure 10, tissue resistance was significantly increased in mice on BLM + vehicle. Treatment with either SDX-7320 alone or in combination with pirfenidone or nintedanib improved this alveolar resistance to pressure fluctuations.

[0413] Respiratory system elastance (Ers) and lung elastance (H) were also measured in each treatment group, and the analysis is shown in Figure 11. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, lung elastance (H) represents the elastic energy stored in tissue after an applied deformation and therefore the ability of the tissue to recover and return to its original shape. This is an indicator of tissue stiffness. As shown in Figure 11, tissue stiffness was increased in BLM mice and was improved by treatment with SDX-7320, with or without the addition of nintedanib.

[0414] Automated histopathological analysis of lung samples was performed to determine parenchymal density, fibrotic foci (lung foci), and total collagen, as described above. The results of this analysis are shown in Figure 12 (parenchymal density, fibrotic foci, and total collagen), Figure 22 (type I collagen, α1), and the corresponding Table C. [Table 2]

[0415] As shown in Figure 12, treatment with SDX-7320 alone or in combination with nintedanib or pirfenidone improved both lung lesions and parenchymal tissue density and collagen content.

[0416] As shown in Figure 22 and corresponding Table C, treatment with SDX-7320 alone or in combination with nintedanib significantly inhibits collagen deposition in lung tissue after exposure to bleomycin. SDX-7320 in combination with nintedanib further improved the SDX-7320 response, almost completely inhibiting collagen deposition. In contrast, nintedanib alone had little activity on collagen deposition.

[0417] Finally, automated histopathological analysis of lung samples was performed to determine the mean airspace circularity and mean airspace contact in each treatment group. The results of this analysis are summarized in Figures 20 and 21, respectively. As shown in Figures 20 and 21, differences were observed in mice treated with the vehicle control compared to mice treated with the combination of SDX-7320 and pirfenidone or the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib.

[0418] Taken together, these results demonstrate that SDX-7320 and the combination of SDX-7320 with either nintedanib or pirfenidone can be used to effectively treat pulmonary fibrosis and improve lung function after induction of pulmonary fibrosis.

[0419] Example 2 - Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis with Compound 1 and a Combination of Compound 1 and Nintedanib The following are non-limiting examples demonstrating the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in an 8-week-old female C57BL / 6 mouse model using Compound 1 (referred to herein and in Figures 13-19 as "SDX-7320" or "SDX") and a combination of Compound 1 and nintedanib.

[0420] Pulmonary fibrosis was modeled by treating mice with bleomycin (BLM). To induce pulmonary fibrosis, a single dose of bleomycin (3 mg / kg in a volume of 50 μl) was instilled intratracheally on day 0 of the study.

[0421] Treatment: Five groups of mice were treated as described in Table B. Mice in groups 2-5 were challenged with bleomycin solution on day 0 of the study, as described above. Mice were randomized into different treatment groups on day 7 of the study based on change in body weight from baseline.

[0422] Mice in treatment group 2 received a vehicle control subcutaneously once every four days (Q4D) from days 7 to 20. Mice in treatment group 3 received SDX-7320 subcutaneously at a dose of 8 mg / kg Q4D from days 7 to 21. Mice in treatment group 4 received nintedanib orally (PO) at a dose of 100 mg / kg once daily (QD) from days 7 to 20. Mice in treatment group 5 received SDX-7320 subcutaneously at a dose of 8 mg / kg Q4D from days 7 to 20 and nintedanib orally (PO) at a dose of 100 mg / kg once daily (QD) from days 7 to 21. All mice were sacrificed on day 21 of the study. [Table 3]

[0423] Results: Figure 13 shows the body weight and body weight change in each treatment group over the course of the study.

[0424] Figure 14 shows the weight of the left lung at the end of the study for each treatment group. As shown in Figure 14, mice treated with a combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib showed a decrease in mean left lung weight compared to the vehicle control group. Furthermore, the mean left lung weight in mice treated with SDX-7320 alone also tended to be decreased compared to the vehicle control group.

[0425] Figure 15 shows the post-caval lobe weights at the end of the study for each treatment group. As shown in Figure 15, mice treated with a combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib showed a decrease in post-caval lobe weight compared to the vehicle control group. Furthermore, the post-caval lobe weights in mice treated with SDX-7320 alone also tended to be decreased compared to the vehicle control group.

[0426] Figure 16 shows the survival of mice in each of the control groups over the course of the study.

[0427] Additionally, automated histopathological analysis was performed on lung samples obtained from mice at the end of the study. Briefly, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks were processed. For each mouse, a series of three sections (5 μm thick) was cut, spaced 50 μm apart. Because each block contained three lobes, nine sections were placed on slides and stained with PSR. Digital slides of all sections were imaged at 20x magnification using Hamamatsu Photonics' NDP.view 2 software. Automated quantification of pulmonary PF morphological features was performed from digitized images (scans) of PSR-stained lung sections using Biocellvia's imaging assay, MorphoQuant®-Lung. The following endpoints were quantitatively assessed as described in Example 1: a) Tissue density (%) b) Fibrotic foci (%) c) Collagen (%).

[0428] The results of tissue density, fibrous lesions, and collagen analysis are shown in Figures 17-19, respectively. Tissue density and collagen content were reduced in the combination group compared to vehicle and each treatment alone. As shown in Figure 18, treatment with the combination of SDX-7320 and nintedanib reduced fibrous lesions compared to both the vehicle control group and treatment with nintedanib alone.

[0429] Taken together, these results demonstrate that SDX-7320 and the combination of SDX-7320 with either nintedanib or pirfenidone can be used to effectively treat pulmonary fibrosis and improve lung function after induction of pulmonary fibrosis.
