Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 426,620, filed November 18, 2022, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 447,436, filed February 22, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 463,742, filed May 3, 2023, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes.

[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to compounds, compositions and methods for treating diseases such as peripheral and / or systemic inflammatory conditions. [Background technology]

[0003] Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic protein involved in numerous biological processes, including embryonic and organ development, regeneration, and inflammation. HGF plays an important role in the development and maturation of cortical, motor, sensory, sympathetic, and parasympathetic neurons. HGF is translated and secreted as an inactive pro-HGF protein. Upon cleavage, the resulting α and β subunits are connected by disulfide bonds to form an active heterodimer. HGF expression is primarily found in mesenchymal cells, such as fibroblasts, chondroblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells. It has also been shown to be expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), including neurons, astrocytes, and ependymal cells (Nakamura and Mizuno, 2010).

[0004] All biological activities of HGF are mediated by MET, a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that serves as the only known receptor for HGF. MET is known to be involved in various biological processes and has been shown to play roles in development, regeneration, and response to injury. HGF binding to the extracellular domain of MET leads to homodimerization of the MET protein and autophosphorylation of the intracellular domain. Phosphorylation of the MET intracellular domain leads to the recruitment and phosphorylation of various effector proteins, including Gab1, GRB2, phospholipase C, and Stat3 (Gherardi et al., 2012; Organ and Tsao, 2011). These effector proteins then interact with downstream signaling pathways, including PI3K / Akt, Ras / Raf / MAPK, RAC1 / CDC42, and RAP / FAK, among others, to affect various cellular components, including gene regulation, cytoskeletal reorganization, cell cycle progression, cell adhesion, survival, and proliferation (Organ and Tsao, 2011).

[0005] HGF is a key regulator of inflammation and autoimmunity. HGF activity reduces the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and promotes the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in monocytes (Molnarfi et al., 2015). Furthermore, HGF increases tolerogenic dendritic cells and attenuates cytotoxic T cell activity (Ilangumaran et al., 2016). These effects of HGF activity on inflammation and immune function are likely beneficial in inflammatory pathologies.

[0006] Despite advances in the field, there remains a need for improved compounds and methods for the treatment of peripheral and / or systemic inflammatory conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0312] Example B1: Reduction of inflammatory pain-related behaviors and inflammatory biomarkers after treatment in the rodent CFA inflammatory pain model Responses to peripheral inflammatory stimuli can be modeled by subcutaneous injection of a suspension of dried actinomycetes in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), paraffin oil, and mannide monooleate into the footpad of rats. Introduction of CFA into peripheral nerve tissue results in a rapid and sustained inflammatory response in the exposed tissue within 24 hours. Subcutaneous administration of CFA in the plantar region induces inflammatory pain-related behaviors that persist for at least 8 days. CFA treatment also results in the accumulation of inflammatory cytokines at the site of injury in paw tissue. The extent of the inflammatory response to CFA can be assessed by quantification of inflammatory cytokines in paw skin homogenates and inflammatory pain-related behaviors using tests of mechanical allodynia (von Frey test) and thermal hyperalgesia (Hargreaves test).

[0313] On test day 1, compound 2a was tested for its ability to reduce inflammatory pain-related behavior in the CFA inflammation model. On test day 0, 50 μg of CFA was administered subcutaneously into the plantar hind paw. Animals were treated daily with compound 2a in solution via oral gavage (PO) at doses of 1 mg / kg, 0.1 mg / kg, and 0.025 mg / kg. This treatment began on test day 1 before CFA injection and continued until test day 8.

[0314] Mechanical allodynia was measured using the von Frey test. In this test, rats were placed on a wire mesh, and a series of filaments designed to deliver investigation pressures ranging from 4 to 26 grams were applied to the center of the plantar surface of the rat's hind right paw. Animals demonstrated a pain response by lifting the investigated paw. The minimum force required to elicit a withdrawal response was recorded as the paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). von Frey tests were performed 1 hour after administration of compound 2a on test days 1, 3, and 7, and also before administration on test day 7. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post-hoc test. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results are summarized in Table 2. Control animals stimulated with CFA but treated with vehicle alone had increased sensitivity to mechanical stimuli compared to normal control animals. Treatment with 1 mg / kg of compound 2a resulted in a reduction in mechanical allodynia at the post-administration test on test day 7.

[0315] Thermal hyperalgesia was measured using the Hargreaves test. A heat lamp was applied to the right hind paw via a direct light beam, and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) was recorded as a measure of sensitivity to thermal stimuli. Testing was performed 1 hour post-dose on test days 1, 3, and 7, and also pre-dose on test day 7. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results are summarized in Table 2. Control animals stimulated with CFA but treated with vehicle alone had increased sensitivity to thermal stimuli compared with normal control animals. Treatment with 1 mg / kg of compound 2a resulted in decreased thermal sensitivity on pre-dose testing on days 3 and 7. TIFF2025538382000047.tif119170

[0316] In another test, Compound 1a, Compound 5a, and Compound 6a were similarly tested for their ability to reduce pain-related behavior in response to CFA-induced inflammatory stimulation of the right hind paw. This test also included quantifying the expression of inflammatory cytokines in paw skin homogenates. Inflammatory pain stimulation by CFA injection, as well as mechanical and thermal pain-related behavioral assessments, were carried out as described above.

[0317] Intraplantar CFA injections were performed on day 0. Treatment with Compound 1a, Compound 5a, and Compound 6a was administered daily from day -1 to day 8. Rats were sacrificed on day 8, and cytokine levels in paw skin were measured. Tissues from the paw bones, joints, and muscles were obtained for H&E staining and analysis. Cytokine levels in CFA-stimulated test compound-treated animals were compared with CFA-stimulated vehicle-treated animals. Analyses included interleukin 4 (IL-4), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Statistical analysis consisted of one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison post-hoc test. Mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were tested 1 hour after administration on days 1, 3, and 7. PWT indicates the lower limit of paw withdrawal latency, with higher values ​​corresponding to a higher pain threshold. PWL indicates the lower limit of paw withdrawal latency, with higher values ​​corresponding to a higher pain threshold.

[0318] As shown in Table 3, compound 1a significantly reduced sensitivity to mechanical stimuli on test days 1, 3, and 7, as well as thermal sensitivity on test days 1, 3, and 7. Treatment with compound 5a reduced mechanical sensitivity on test day 1 and thermal sensitivity on test days 1 and 7. Compound 6a reduced thermal sensitivity on test day 7. TIFF2025538382000048.tif126170

[0319] Compounds 1a and 5a showed statistically significant increases in PWT on day 1, and compound 1a showed statistically significant increases in PWT on days 3 (8 mg / kg and 16 mg / kg) and 7 (16 mg / kg) (Table 3 and data not shown).

[0320] Compound 1a, Compound 5a and Compound 6a showed a statistically significant increase in PWL at each dose on day 7 (Table 3 and data not shown).

[0321] On day 5, mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia were assessed 1 hour before administration. The thresholds for each compound were tested on day 5. Compound 1a and Compound 6a showed a statistically significant increase in PWL (data not shown).

[0322] Despite the observable pain reduction, treatment had no significant effect on paw skin thickness (data not shown). On study day 8, significant reductions in IL-4, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were detected in the paw skin (Table 4 and data not shown).

[0323] All test compounds reduced the expression of the evaluated cytokines at at least one dose tested, except for compound 6a, which had no effect on IFN-γ expression (Table 4). These results suggest that the test compounds exert meaningful anti-inflammatory effects in response to CFA-stimulated peripheral inflammation. TIFF2025538382000049.tif78170

[0324] Example B2: Reduction of inflammation after pulmonary LPS challenge. Acute pneumonia can be effectively modeled in rats by intratracheal administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The severity of the inflammatory response can be measured by quantifying the amount of immune cell infiltration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and the secretion of cytokine signaling proteins. Activation of the HGF / MET signaling pathway by positive regulators of HGF / MET is predicted to reduce the inflammatory response. Two test compounds, compound 1a and compound 5a, were evaluated for their ability to reduce acute pneumonia in this intranasal LPS model.

[0325] In this study, acute pneumonia was induced in healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats (7–9 weeks old at the start of the study) by intratracheal instillation of 20 μg of LPS in saline. Test animals were treated twice with the test compound via intravenous (IV) injection, 24 h and 0.5 h before LPS treatment. Dexamethasone (Dex), an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid, was used as a positive control and administered at 3 mg / kg via intraperitoneal (IP) injection 1 h before LPS treatment. Four hours after LPS administration, animals were euthanized by intraperitoneal injection of thiopental, and 20 mL of cold Hank's balanced salt solution, pH 7.2, was instilled into the lungs via tracheal cannulation. BALF was then collected.

[0326] Immune cell infiltration in BALF was quantified as an assessment of the inflammatory response, and the results are shown in Table 5. Immune cell infiltration was measured by counting total leukocytes using a MUSE® mini flow cytometer and manually counting neutrophil cells in cytospin smears stained with Leishman's staining reagent. Treatment with Compound 1a and Compound 5a reduced both total leukocyte and neutrophil counts compared with the LPS-only control. TIFF2025538382000050.tif79170

[0327] Cytokine expression in BALF supernatants was quantified by multiplex immunoassay using a MAGPIX multiplex unit with a cytokine multiplex kit (Merck-Millipore, Cat# RECYMAG65K27PMX). The panel of cytokines tested included growth factors (G-CSF, GM-CSF, EGF, VEGF, TNF-α), chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL5, CCL11, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL5, CXCL10, CX3CL1), interleukins (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-17A), and interferon-γ (IFNγ). The results of this analysis are shown in Table 6. Statistically significant changes from levels in animals treated with LPS alone were determined by Student's t-test, with p<0.05 indicating a statistically significant change in cytokine expression levels. Treatment with compound 1a resulted in significant changes in the expression of G-CSF, CXCL2, CXCL10, IFN-γ, and IL-1β. Treatment with compound 5a resulted in significant changes in the expression of CCL3, CXCL1, IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-10, IL-12p70, and IL-17A. These results indicate that treatment with the test compound had a significant impact on acute lung inflammation in response to LPS by reducing the levels of proinflammatory molecules. The normal process of inflammation is regulated and promoted by the expression, secretion, and delivery of inflammatory signaling proteins. Therapies intended to reduce inflammation are generally distinguished by their ability to alter the expression levels of inflammatory signaling molecules, either by directly disrupting inflammatory pathways or by disrupting inflammatory signaling cascades. The compounds provided herein are expected to be able to interrupt inflammatory signaling based on their demonstrated effects on the expression of notable inflammatory cytokines. TIFF2025538382000051.tif228170

[0328] Example B3: Reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in macrophage-like cell cultures Inflammation plays a pivotal role in disease progression and is a complex phenomenon involving various cells, affecting numerous extracellular and intracellular signaling pathways and cytokine production. Macrophages are tissue-resident or infiltrating immune cells important for innate immunity, normal tissue development, homeostasis, and repair of damaged tissues. Activated macrophages are involved in the development of systemic and peripheral inflammation and respond to toxic exogenous substances (such as LPS) or endogenous substances. Here, we used THP-1 cells as an in vitro cell model to evaluate mechanisms related to systemic and peripheral inflammation. PMA-induced differentiation induces THP-1 mononuclear cells to acquire macrophage-like functionality and morphology. LPS interacts with THP-1 differentiated macrophages via Toll-like receptor 4, triggering an inflammatory response, stimulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and ultimately leading to cell death. We investigated whether test compounds have anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-challenged macrophage cultures. THP-1 differentiated macrophages were treated with test compounds for 20 min followed by a 24-h LPS challenge, and culture supernatants were then collected and analyzed for the presence of proinflammatory cytokines, namely interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).

[0329] Quantification of cytokines in cell culture supernatants was performed by homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) kits to assess the levels of IL-1β (human IL-1β kit, #62HIL1BPEG, Cisbio) and IL-6 (human IL-6 kit, 62HIL06PET, Cisbio), and ELISA to determine the levels of TNF-α (human TNF-α ELISA kit, KHC3011, ThermoFisher).

[0330] Data analysis was performed using Prism statistical software (GraphPad) via one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc test compared to LPS-treated cultures. Table data show the significance of the reduction of the indicated analytes in culture supernatants at the indicated doses.

[0331] The results are shown in Table 7. Treatment with Compound 1a, Compound 5a, Compound 6a, and the active metabolite of A19 (ATH-1001) all significantly reduced the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α at at least one dose tested. Treatment with Compound 1a, Compound 5a, and the active metabolite of A19 all significantly reduced the expression of IL-6 at at least one dose tested. "NS" indicates a non-significant reduction in the indicated cytokine. "+" indicates a p-value of <0.05 by Tukey's post-hoc test. "++" indicates a p-value of <0.01 by Tukey's post-hoc test. TIFF2025538382000052.tif140170

[0332] Example B4: Reduction of streptozotocin-induced inflammatory cytokines in response to compound treatment. Administration of streptozotocin, a chemotherapeutic agent with specific toxic effects on pancreatic islet cells, induces a severe systemic inflammatory response in animals. Streptozotocin enters pancreatic B cells via glucose transporters and disrupts the function of these cells by cross-linking their DNA, resulting in the production of uncontrollable hyperglycemia. This condition leads to a strong and chronic induction of inflammatory pathways and is widely used as a model of peripheral inflammation associated with the symptoms of diabetes.

[0333] To evaluate the ability of test compounds to reduce systemic inflammation in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic model in Sprague-Dawley rats, disease was induced by a single intravenous dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 55 mg / kg) on ​​study day 0, and induction of diabetic disease was confirmed by estimating blood glucose levels on day 4. Rats with blood glucose levels above 200 mg / dL were considered successfully induced and included in the study. Treatment with test compounds began on study day 15 and continued with a single daily dose administered by oral gavage (PO) until study day 28, when plasma was collected for cytokine expression analysis.

[0334] Cytokines were quantified using a bead capture detection system (ProcartaPlex, ThermoFisher, catalog number: PPX-090MXKA44V) with a Luminex multiplex detection system. Each analyte was quantified against a standard curve, and plasma content was measured in pg / ml. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) were strongly upregulated by STZ stimulation and decreased in response to test compound treatment. IFN-γ is expressed in response to other inflammatory cytokines and promotes inflammation by activating the JAK / STAT signaling pathway. IL-4 is a proinflammatory cytokine that activates several types of inflammatory macrophage cells. Therefore, a decrease in the expression of any of these analytes represents a decreased inflammatory response to disease challenge. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison post-hoc test relative to untreated disease controls.

[0335] Three test compounds were evaluated in this study: Compound 1a, Compound 5a, and Compound 6a. The results are summarized in Table 8. Daily treatment with Compound 1a significantly reduced the expression of both IFN-γ and IL-4 at doses of 8 mg / kg and 16 mg / kg, respectively. Daily treatment with Compound 5a reduced the expression of IFN-γ and IL-4 at a dose of 20 mg / kg. Daily treatment with Compound 6a reduced the expression of IFN-γ and IL-4 at a dose of 10 mg / kg. These results demonstrate that the indicated test compounds have the ability to reduce peripheral inflammation caused by chronic hyperglycemia. Statistical outliers were identified by the ROUT method (Q = 1%) and excluded before statistical analysis. Statistical analysis consisted of one-way ANOVA with Dunnett's multiple comparison post-hoc test compared to untreated STZ disease controls. ++ = p < 0.01, +++ = p < 0.001, ++++ = p < 0.0001.

[0336] Example B5: Reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in a mouse model of LPS-induced inflammation. Administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces an inflammatory response, stimulating the release of proinflammatory cytokines and ultimately leading to cell death. In this study, we evaluated the ability of compound A19 to reduce systemic inflammation in an LPS inflammation model in 8-10 week-old male C57B / 6N mice.

[0337] The study design was as follows: [Table 10] IP-intraperitoneal, LPS-lipopolysaccharide, QD-once daily, SC-subcutaneous, WFI-water for injection Animals in Groups 1 and 2 served as controls and received vehicle (saline-0.9% NaCl). Starting on Day 0 (D), animals in both groups received 10 mL / kg subcutaneously (SC) once daily (QD). All animals in Group 1 were treated for four consecutive days, while the first 16 animals in Group 2 received a single dose, the next eight animals were treated for two consecutive days, and the remaining eight animals were treated for four consecutive days. Animals were weighed before administration, and the amount of vehicle administered was adjusted according to their individual body weights.

[0338] The test article, Compound A19, was dissolved in saline (0.9% NaCl), pH 7.4–7.7, to give final concentrations of 0.125, 0.5, and 1.25 mg / kg for groups 3–5, respectively. Starting on Day 0, animals in groups 3–5 were administered Compound A19 at 0.125, 0.5, or 1.25 mg / kg once daily (QD) at 10 mL / kg via the subcutaneous (SC) route. The first 16 animals in each group received a single dose, the next 8 animals were treated for two consecutive days, and the remaining 8 animals were treated for four consecutive days. Animals were weighed prior to administration, and the dose was adjusted according to individual body weight.

[0339] Twenty minutes after the first administration of Compound A19, animals in groups 2-5 were challenged with a single 5 mg / kg LPS (derived from E. coli O111:B4) dose administered intraperitoneally (IP) at 10 mL / kg. Group 1 served as the control group and received an equivalent volume of water for injection (WFI). Animals were weighed prior to administration, and the amount of LPS administered was adjusted according to individual body weight.

[0340] At designated time points after the LPS challenge, animals were euthanized, and blood was collected by carotid artery phlebotomy under ketamine and xylazine anesthesia. Serum samples were then separated by centrifugation. Brain and liver samples were also collected (data not shown). Eight animals in groups 2–5 were sampled at 1.5, 6, 24, and 72 hours, while control animals in group 1 were sampled only at 72 hours postchallenge (20 minutes after the last dose).

[0341] Blood samples were collected into marked tubes containing protease inhibitors (8:1 v / v; whole blood:protease inhibitors, no EDTA) and allowed to clot for 30 minutes after collection. After clotting, samples were centrifuged at 2500 × g for 15 minutes at 21–22°C, divided into sets of aliquots, flash-frozen, and stored at -80°C until multiplex cytokine analysis. At 72 hours postchallenge (20 minutes after the last dose), an additional 20 μL of serum was isolated from groups 3–5, flash-frozen, and used for cytokine analysis.

[0342] Cytokines were quantified by multiplex analysis using the Invitrogen Immune Monitoring 48-Plex Mouse ProcartaPlex™ Panel kit according to the manufacturer's instructions, and amounts were calculated by interpolation from a standard curve. The panel determines the levels of specific cytokines, chemokines, growth factors / regulatory factors, and soluble receptors. The panel includes pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and other molecules. The cytokines, chemokines, growth factors / regulatory factors, and soluble receptors tested were as follows: Cytokines: BAFF, G-CSF (CSF-3), GM-CSF, IFNα, IFNγ, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15 / IL-15R, IL-17A (CTLA-8), IL-18, IL-19, IL-22, IL-23, IL-25 (IL-17E), IL-27, IL-28, IL-31, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8 ... -33, LIF, M-CSF, RANKL, and TNF alpha; chemokines: ENA-78 (CXCL5), eotaxin (CCL11), GRO alpha (CXCL1), IP-10 (CXCL10), MCP-1 (CCL2), MCP-3 (CCL7), MIP-1 alpha (CCL3), MIP-1 beta (CCL4), MIP-2, and RANTES (CCL5); growth factors / regulatory factors: betacellulin (BTC), leptin, and VEGF-A; soluble receptors: IL-2R, IL-7R alpha, IL-33R (ST2).

[0343] As shown in Table 10, at 1.5 hours after LPS administration, mice treated with Compound A19 at 1.5 mg / kg had significantly lower levels of the inflammatory mediators BAFF, G-CSF, ENA-78, eotaxin, IL-2R, LIF, MIP-1 Beta, and MIP-1 Alpha compared with vehicle-treated LPS animals. Mice treated with Compound A19 at 0.125 mg / kg also showed significant decreases in G-CSF and ENA-78 levels at this time point. At 6 hours after LPS administration, BAFF, ENA-78, and IL-2R levels remained lower compared with LPS-treated vehicle mice. In some instances, LPS challenge resulted in a small, non-significant increase in inflammatory mediator levels compared with Group 1 controls, but Compound A19 was able to significantly reduce these levels. These events are indicated by asterisks in Table 10. These results indicate that treatment with compound A19 can attenuate the increase in inflammatory mediators after LPS challenge, suggesting the immunomodulatory potential of compound A19.
